The reply of Secretary Blnlnc received nttentlon In the chamber of deputies today. Questions In regard to it were raised by various members. Premier Hudlnl , replying , said the Italian government had not yet received Blaino's noto. Ho was not prepared to make n definite statement to the chamber of the views nnd purposes of the cabinet until the note was ofiiulnlly ro- celvcd nnd carefully read and considered. However , ho would say that Italy could not admit the diplomatic incident closed until the United States acknowledged its duty of delivering the guilty parties over to Justice and ncKiiowledged the further duty of Indem nifying the families of tbo victims who were Italian subects. ) Italy could not admit that the United States government had no responsibility lor acts committed within the Jurisdiction of Individual states. Ho felt confident , however , that the matter would bo settled without creatlug political difficulties . between Italy and America. In conclusion Hudlnl cave ex pression to the hope that notwithstanding the occurrence of some Incidents whicn were greatly to bo regretted in the controversy be tween Italy and America , means of concilia tion honorable to both countries would bo found. After the adjournment of the chamber of deputies an Associated pivss correspondent cnllcd < upon the Marquis di liudinl nnd asked him If it was possible for him to give an opinion for publication In regard to the reply of the United States secretary of state , Mr. Blaine , to his ( Marquis di Itudlnrs ) last note on the subject of the New Orleans lynch ing. In reply the Marquis dl Kudlnl said , in substance , thnt the cabled summaries of Blaine's reply which had been sent to Homo nnd which he had seen in the public press of this city were too brief and otherwise in adequate to enable him to form definite opinions , much less give an opinion for pub lication , oven if ho felt Justified in adopting the latter course of action. The marquis added that ho preferred not to say anything further while waitinc the receipt of the full text of Blaino's reply , except that ho was now and had always been sincerely desirous of n friendly solution of the difficulties nt present existing between the Italian govoin- mcnt and the government of the United Stutes. Though the full coriespondence given out in Washington yesterday was tele graphed to London by Heuter's telegraph company and was published in tbo English papers , only a summary was telegraphed from London for the full correspondence.

This is tbo first Instance of a United States army officer being detailed to servo In a German regiment , and the fact that ho is permitted to join the Westphalia hussars shows the klnuly feeling of the German gov ernment nnd that there is no jealousy on the part of the military authorities here.

Ho says the colonists continue to bo bitterly opposed to the coercive bill no.v before par liament , They denounce It because It was Introduced without the sanction ot the col ony ; because It Is iti direct contradiction of imperial pledges to the coloiiy , and because , If passed , It would bo nn enforcement of power without the consent of the gov erned nnd without regard for the rights of those directly concerned , contrary to the very principles of government which sustain nnd bind together the British empire. Dele gates will do everything in their power to bring about a settlement of their demands without causing the imperial government trouble in Its relation with other powers. It is evident , however , thnt they expect opposi tion nnd are prepared to meet it by making the strongest possible representation of their claims and securing nil possible support from every quarter.

In the recent history of mining opera- ions In this western country ilosorveilly otispleuous place boloiis's to n record of the ) ros | > ect work tlono in this newly organized Hitrict. The series of rich strikes made here , begin- ling with the liittor part of last season and continuing down oven to the present week , las been n succession of surprises. There la ouo class , though , that hna been much stir- ) rlsed by the reports of these lliuls. Old- liners in this sectloii hnvo for years had an iblding faith In the richness of the mineral deposits surrounding the now camp. Specimens of rich ere mid rock heavily tmldod with free gold were exhibited years igo by men who tramped over these hills In carch of mineral prospects. Others who Mtroled the base of the surrounding moun- alns , In rouudlng-up the big herds Unit used o graze hero stumbled over rich lln.it , , I remember that once , along in the ' TO's , when ailed to this locality on tin entlrelj different mission than that of an argonaut , nn old reasuro-seckor took considerable of his own , imo and mine in demonstrating that d leautltul specimen of gold-bearing quartz ho md picked up In a gulch , not many miles llstaut , must have como from somewhere in ho neighborhood of the Gold Hill , of today. They .Miiko Illjj WIIUCH. Ono could easily make up a long list ot names of men who bavo at times near nnd renote , maao big wages for one. or moro sea- ons , in panning out pay dirt or in washing lugrots out of the gravel by crude means , \s far back ns the llfties parties set out for hose hills and engaged in gulch mining' . L'hey did not desert for the lack of irood suc cess , but for the reason that big strikes , or rumors of them , elsewhere stampeded the outtlt. This has never been a particularly attract- veer convenient locality for lone prospectors , my way. The natural disadvantage. * , us well as the remoteness from the base of supplies , made a campaign here ono full of perplexities nnd evcu peril. Since the town of Saratoga was started , however , there has been moro md more prospecting done : is the seasons went by.1 That place being naturally the base of supplies , has made out * Hting not only moro convenient but ess expensive than when one had to depend on ono of the railroad towns 03 trading points as was the case until quite re cently. But some how or other a little party of prospectors got in hero last summer. The men who composed It seem to have had bet ter staying qualities than the pioneers. Patience nnd'persistence ' had Uheir _ toward. Near the head of a gnlch , which has boon named Gold Run , was located a lead that prospected big for gold , Th's ' Hnd , called the Patent Right , encouratrod a more encrgotlo tiunt for other leads. As a result within the succeeding few weeks were located a num ber of rich prospects in the Immediate vi cinity. When the tainncdo Started. News of the strike was caroled about and In tlmo reached other camps , far nnd near. Old prospectors and new adventurerj began to flock in. It was so late in the season ttiat only n few of the many who camb into their now camp bad the pluck to stay by It , Most of thorn know from experioncp moro or less bitter , what wintering in these mountains meant. As one of them put It , It Is winter all the year round and for the other nlno months you can't live hero. When this tide of prospectors set In , It lacked but a few weeks till snow fall. After that snow might bo expected to como down al most perpetually till nearly the corresponding time this year. There didn't scorn to bomucU of an inducement for a man to do the assess ment work on a claim that might be Jumped before ho could get back to it again to begin Its development. It was apparent to all who did any prospecting there that It anything rich w'us found it would bo a hard mutter to hold onto the property. The leads lay so thick that several could bo found wltnln the limits circumscribed oy tbo United States mining laws for an indi vidual claim. Under the circumstances there was bound to bo encroachments on adjoining property. Then would follow the wrangling and perhaps bloodshed too common to now5 mining camps. ' To avert trouble of this sort t'ho prospec tors got together nnd hold a mooting to do- vlso ways and moans to prevent dissension. They agreed among themselves last October that they would cut down the widtli of their claims Just half taking 150 f03t on each slda of the lead Instead of 300 feet as Uio United States laws allow. Plnok AVus Needed. Who over inspired the locators of claims 14 stay by them during the long wnl of eight months or moro that confronted them tll ( winter should throw oft its mantle , to him belongs 'tho credit of being' the founder of Gold Hill. It needed some man with pluck. to fern } the resolution to winter on the mountain } and stick to it as an example for others to fol low. If the man of the hour had not bocn in the outfit the location notices that were put up last full would nave been of no moro ac count than thousands of othon by which prospectors have blozod tracks along the backbone of the continent which they never traversed a second tlmo. But camps were pitched and from present Indications It will bo n long time before they nro struck. Now what has bocn the consequence ) Simply this : A mining district has bcon es tablished to which thousands of prospectors are'bound to rush. The advance guard of an army Is already besieging an ice buttressed camp. So eager and expectant nio those besiegers - siegers that they will not wait for a high- running sun to tear down the battlomcnU of winter. They will rusort to artificial of rlddlnp the lodges of snow. Aor It Will t con In a few weeks moro development work will bcL'ln.
