To Fight Standard Oil
Gold in City Limits.
New York, June 19.— While
aroused the weat ia making thrilling
preparations for a practical fight
against Standard Oil Company, to
be begun in the state of Kansas,
and the battle ugaiust corporate
corruption and oppression is get
ting into full swing. The govern
ors of Missouri, Minnesota, Nebras
ka and Kansas have invited Thomas
W. Lawson to go to their states in
July and addreBS tbo people. Law-
son has accepted the invitations.
This journey of the crusader
against “ frenzied finance’’ promises
to be a picturesque and stirring
campaign. Preparations to receive
Lawson have been made on a large
scale. Other anti-monopoly speak
ers of national reputation. Gover
nors Folk and La Follette, and Dis
trict Attorney Jerome, will make
addresses.
Olympia, Wash., Jume 27.—A
discovery of gold-bearing ore with
in the city limits is claimed by W.
F. Carter and T. M. Rowden, two
experienced miners,
Samples of
the rock brought in today are said
to yield $40 to the ton. The dis
covery is on land owned by F. D.
Heunstis, from whom the man have
obtained a lease. It is a half-mile
above the mouth of Percival Creek
in West Olympia and is near the
Northern Pacific railroad track.
Geologist« assert that the forma
tion here is o f the Tertiary Period,
the rook of which is seldom ore-
bearing. The body of rock which
Carter and Rowden claim contains
gold is extensive. The ore requires

Forest Fires in Alaska.
Seattle, June 28.—Forest fires
along the banks of the Yukon Riv
er, between the mouth of the Tan-
ana River and Eagle City, have cut
ofl all communication with Nome
and St. Michaels, and for the past
four days the local cable office hae
been unable to establish any com
munication with those points on
Bering sea.
“There is no telling just when
the line at that point will be up
again,” said Major Glaseford, to
day, at the cable office. “ It will be
impassible to get anything out from
or into Nome on account of the
fires for several days.”
Advice reaching here from points
this side of the break state that the
fires are worse than for several
years in the district affected. Miles
of wire and poles are believed to
have been burned down.
The gravest defect in the juris
prudence of this country as admin
istered, is the lack of personal re
sponsibility of the officials of large
corporations. The expression, Ecor-
porations have no souls “ has almost
come to mean that ‘corporations
have no responsibility’ and to this
fact is largely due the grave viola
tions of law which in some instan
ces have become bo general as to
cause well defined statues to become
“ dead letters”. For instance, a
powerful railway flagrantly defies
the law by granting rebateo.

Driven Insane by Thirst.
Goldfield, Nev., June 26— Pros
pectors coming into Bullfrog today
report that they found two men
wandering
aimlessly about in
Death Valley down beyond the Fun
eral Range. These two men were
insane and absolutely naked. Their
tongues were black, swollen and
protruding. Their limbs were also
swollen.
The men had evidently become
delirious from thirst while prospect
ing through Death Valley.
Their
misfortune is but a repetition of the
disasters of that region during the
past week. The springs are drying
up and the usual supply of water is
lacking.
The prospectors arc so scattered
over the vast region that there is no
way of warning them.
Carcasses
of men and burros heavy laden and
without owners have been found in
numbers. This season of the year
is unfit for all prospecting.
The men are being nursed back
to health and steps are being taken
for their identification.
