OWNERS OF PROPERTY WORKING STEADILY Character Given tlic Matter Hccntno Tlicrc Brent * tn Heiillilnn of n. Speenlatlvc Mature Connected with It U. It. A nil rim Talk * . Docs gold exist In Kanmis ? This Is a question upon which there Is a wide < ll- vcrgencs of opinion and the reports that the yellow stuff In good paying quantities has actually been discovered In the western part of the etato along the Smoky 11111 river In Trego and Kills counties , has created n , stir that Is confined not only to the state of Kansas , but In attracting attention throughout the whole middle west. Some people , and there ere many of them , believe that gold really exists In the sections of Kansas mentioned above and nro | BO confident that their Judgment IB correct ) that they have ventured several thousand of dollars In the purchase of lands In which the peculiar looking whales reported to carry the gold are located , the prosecution of development work and are now even going so far ns to erect mills for the treatment of the ore. The affair has reached a point where It Is not a speculative scheme and this can not bo charged against It. The land situated adlaccnt to the gold-bearing properties IB almost -wholly disposed of and the present owners are In no wise disposed to place It on the market , believing that they nro the posswwors of that which will ono day make them wealthy and permit them to ilguro tn the same class of gold mine barons KB Hearst , Haggln , Daly and the root of the big gold bonaza kings. The adverse criticism on the western Kan sas gold excitement comes , In most cases , from sources which apparently have no Interest whatever In the matter , but arc disposed to look upon the reported gold dis covery as a scheme bereft of reliability and calculated to damage the record of the state of Kansas. Statement of Mr. AnilriiN. It Is dimcult to arrive at the trim status of the case. K. A. Andrus , general agent in Kansas for the Union Pacific land depart ment , Is a caller at the general headquarters and In discussing this matter said : "Nothing ha * created more widespread In terest throughout Kansas than this gold ex citement. For the past two years work has been going on In the Smoky Hill region nnd experienced mining men from southern Utah have boon developing the ground. The gold ig supposed to exist In a vast shale forma tion , from 200 to 300 feet In thickness , and extending over an area of forty by ten miles. The shale is soft and grayish In color and contains , so these Who believe In the re ported discovery say , gold , silver and zinc. There Is a peculiar process necessary to sep arate the gold from the zinc , which was dis covered by a man named Tockson. With him , also , was associated Thomas A. Edison , who furnlsed the electrical end of the treatment. Much of the innd In the Smoky Hill region Is owned by a syndicate that purchased the right to use this Jackson treatment from the originators , Jackson and Edison , paying them $30,000. The Ott syndicate- now at work building a $20,000 mill atDenver / , which will bo adapted for the special treat ment of this class of rock , and the members of the syndicate are confident that they will realize handsomely from It. "Tho land in Ellis and Trego counties Is almost all taken up and the owners of property in that region are eagerly buying up all that Is vacant , BO that there Is little chance for any ono else to get in there. The belief la held ( by many that the shale bed extends on further to the -west of Trogo and Ellin counties and oven assert that it underlies nil of western Kansas. If the present Holds are found to be bona fldo and productive there is no doubt but that all -western Kansas land wherever there is an indication of shale trill bo rapIdly - Idly bought up. " There are divergent reports regarding the assays that have been received on the gold from western Kansas. These who have faith in the discovery cite the fact that many assays have been made on the shale , which shows that it contains an average gold value of $14 to the ton. Some assays have shown that the rock contains no gold , others report a gold-bearing value of from $2.50 to $1,000 a ton. These who have the "gold craze" claim that the ere la of such a peculiar nature that an assayer is unable to discover the presence of gold unless ho has Just iho proper understanding of how to extract It. At $14 a ton the shale beds would provo Immensely productive to the ownore. The supply Is practically Inex haustible. The formation exists only a tbort dlutanco below the surface and can bo joined at in extremely low rate , not to oxce d 25 cents a ton. Then 'with ' a mill specially adapted for the treatment of the ere the gold can bo extracted at a nominal cost nnd the profit is figured at $10 per ton. This la a greater per cent of profit than IB derived from the production of some of the richest gold mines In the world. Despite the pronounced declaration of well- informed mining men that there Is no gold In Knnsnn the promoters of the Smoky Hill mining properties are -working away and spending all the money necessary to pur sue their operations. The principal Inter ested parties come from Lawrence and To- poka. although there is a company of In diana men and a company of Illinois parties who have property. J. II. Thorpe of Omaha , traveling passenger agent of the Ponnsyl- ranla railroad , owns ICO acres of land. Dne Not Ilelleve In ICaiiNim Gold. The most authentic denial of the existence of gold In the Smoky II 111 river region comes from the University of Kansas. Prof. Ha- worth , who is associated with the university In the geological department , has looked carefully into the matter and is ( juotcd as saying : "Wo have no mlncu In Kansas producing gold and silver. The material which the gold is said to bo in is a flno-gralned shale , Tory abundant in the state , but there is nothing about the strata to imply that any eruptive action of any kind had over taken place near them. From an extended study of the geology of that part of the state It is positively known that the great mass of strata of ere la lying undisturbed and en tirely removed from any eruptive action. There is always n possibility of local dis turbance similar to these in gold mining dis tricts , but there is nothing of the kind in western Kansas. Our principal disbelief in the existence of gold and silver In Kansas Is Attributed to two conditions. First , we can find no gold In specimens sent to us for tuisay , 60 cents to the ton being the highest gold yield obtained nt the university , al though 200 specimens have been assayed. Second , the general character of the country is euch that it would be mast remarkable should any great amount of gold bo found under like conditions. " . Similar to South African Formation * . On the other band expert opinion fs ad vanced by Prof. Caldon of Denver , one of the IIret to open up the rich deposits at Johannesburg , South Africa. He says that the Kansas rock Is strikingly similar to some of the very richest finds in South Africa. He pronounces tbo formation as being the result of submarine volcanic eruption and gives it as bis opinion that It was lifted from the surface at the time the Rockies were thrown up. This theory Is borne out by the fact that shells and sharks' teeth are found In the shale. The new mill which the Orr syndicate Is erecting at Denver will be a combination of the fire and chemical processes of ere ro * auction. The flro process will be used to re duce the ere from the shale nnd then a chemical treatment will be given the ere to separate the gold from the zinc. TENTH PENNSYLVANIA BOYS Itcccptlon Committee Panne * Through Omahn to Meet Them at San Frnnclnco. Tbo Pennsylvania committee- receive the Tenth Pennsylvania regiment upon Its arrival at San Francisco passed through Omaha yesterday In a private car en- route to the coast over the Union Pacific. The people of Pennsylvania have raised $50,000 to bring the regiment home and give the boys a rousing reception. The regiment will bo mustered out In San Francisco , but the plan Is to keep the men together until they reach Plttsburg. At New Brighton , a short distance west of Plttnburg , where they will toke 'breakfast , they will bo furnished with arms and ac coutrements from the state depository. Upon arriving at Pltt&burg they will march to Shcnley park , where a fine program will bo carried out. Yesterday was the anniversary of the first battle In which the regiment under com mand of Major Hal Cuthbcrtson was en gaged. It was the battle of Malotn , In which the regiment lent eleven men. The anniversary was observed by the commit tee by appropriate exorcises In Its car. The committee consists of State Senator Charlm .Muehldronncr of Allegheny City , W. 13. Cuthbertson of Now Hrlghton , U. M. Cook of Cannonsburg , Jcslah Wood of Wayncsburg , Luclen Clawson of Orocnnburg , W. C. Leer of Greonsburg , J. A. Hcrron of Monongahela City , George II.

Stroyer of the Commercial Gazette , n. W. Herbert of the Times and No s , C. E. Locke of the Press , John Angun Mackayo of the Dispatch , all of Plttsburg , C. W. Campbell of the Phila delphia Enquirer and H. W. Mill. Jr. , of the Grcensburg Press. The party Is In charge of Charles Travers of the Chicago & North western railroad and S. A. Myers of the Union Pacific. The committee was met at the depot by Mr. J. A. Wakcfleld of this city , who la well acquainted with the members , who come from his old stamping ground. The transport Senator , having on board the Tenth Pennsylvania , Is expected to ar- rlvo at San Francisco about August 3. SHORT CUT 10 GREAT LAKES Extension of Xorthtrentcrn Alone Old < irnde from Dciilnoii to The Beyer Valley branch of the Northwest ern road , extending between Dcnlson nnd Wall Lake , la. , a distance of twenty-five miles , has been completed and passenger and freight service has just been Inaugurated. The towns on the new line are Delolt , Beyer and Weed , and the country 'through ' which it runs Is a patlcularly rich agricultural region. The completion of this extension to Wall Lake gives rise to the belief that rail's will bo laid along the already constructed grade from Denlson to Algono , and thus , bring about a short cut from Omaha to St. Paul. Under Union Pacific Control. CHEYENNE , Wyo. , July 31. ( Special. ) The Union Pacific Hallway company has se cured control of the new Wyoming Southern railway. It Is stated that the Union Pacific , before entering into traffic arrangements with the Wyoming Southern , Insisted upon a five-year option upon all stock , and a simi lar option giving the Union Pacific the privi lege of redeeming the bonds In the same time at par. The bonds were underwritten by the International Trust company of Boston , whose officers state that agreements have been signed with the Union Pacific. The capitalization of the now company Is $2,000- 000 , half in bonds and the .balance in stock. Much Utah Land Sold.

Sampson Seeks Solace from Trouble in the Arms of Death. FOUND DEAD IN HIS ROOM AT THEDELLONE Leaven Letter for IIU Daughter Glv- Itcnuon for UndltiK 111" Mfe llottle of Morphine \ear III * Dead Hod- . The dead body of J. E. Sampson was found yesterday morning In his room at the Del- lone hotel at about 11 o'clock. The ctiamber- mald had been unable to get Into the room at all Sunday , and yesterday morning , upon finding the door locked ngaln , she called a bell boy , who peered over the transom , only to see the dead body of the occupant stretched on the bed. The door was at once opened and the cor oner notified. A bottle labeled "morphine" told the tale. The dead man left .a letter to his daughter , Miss Mamie Sampson , who lives at Albany , Mo. , In which ho gives the reason for taking his life. The letter Is as follows : OMAHA. Neb. , July , 'M. My Dear Darling - ling Daughter : When you wlir have re ceived this I will have passed Into the un known from whence no traveler has ever returned. The reason why I have committed this act Is because Mrs. Ron" went back on mo at the trying moment. She had prom ised me to bo my wlfo for the last four yeans and when I arrived home and found she had deceived mo so 1 could not stand the disappointment. Do not weep after me , but always remember , darling , that I died for ono I loved. Bo n good girl. Afways mind your Aunt Cena. Tell your Uncle Bob to look after your Interests ; he will always treat you right. Goodby , darling , I will never see you again. Your papa , J. E. SAMPSON. Ho also left a letter addressed to the public which contained practically the earno as the ono addressed to his daughter. Very little Is known about the man at the hotel. Ho came there Jury 7 and told the clerk that he might remain there some time , ns he thought of going Into the stock busi ness at South Omaha. Ho was a quiet , un obtrusive man , and did not seem to bo en gaged In any business. Ho called for his mall dally , and that was about all that was seen of him around the hotel. Ho was acquainted with a stockman at South Omaha by the name of M. D. Huston , who Is thought to know what arrangements had been made by the dead man about going Into business. As the letter stated the reason for the suicide , no Inquest will be held. CITY HAS A COUNTER CLAIM 3IcnlN of City Prlnoncrn Have Not llecn 1'nId For Jlrcniipc of Trial EXIICIINCH. In regard to the action of the County Com missioners in Instructing the county attorney to bring suit against the city for something over $12,000 , claimed to bo duo for meals furnished city prisoners at the county Jair , City Comptroller Westberg says that the claim is probably a Just one. It has never been paid because the city had a counter claim against the county for the expenses of police court trials and the services of officers and detectives In connection with state cases , the prosecution of which Is the duty of the county. The comptroller has repeatedly asked the council to allow him extra help for the purpose of going over the pollco court records and ascertaining the exact amount of the city's claim , but the council has never acceded. Consequently it has been impossible to render an account against the county. Comptroller Westberg believes that the claim of the city , it figured out , would bo greater than that of the county against the city , but he has no means of knowing Just how much It Is. It Is possible that the matter may bo brought to the attention of the council and some plan adopted by which the suit may be averted. A CURB FOR ULOOOY FLUX. Xevcr Kiio vn io Fall.

Under the Instructions of the supervising architect of the Treasury department at Washington soundings are being made west of the federal building to determine whether It will'be necessary to drive piles upon which to put the foundation for the new building , specifications for which are being prepared. It Is generally believed that the present building should have had plfcs under it , which would have prevented the unexpected sinking of the structure. The sinking has , however , been so nearly uniform all around an not to work any serious damage. It Is probable that no changes wilt be taken in the construction of the new building. POWELL LOSES HIS ROLL Some Ono Hntcr * III * llotme ntiit TnUo quifi from HI" Trotixcm' Pocket. Tony Powell , an Italian fruit vender Hy ing at 312 North Tenth street. I * mourn ing the loss of A roll containing $145. Peter Proclpll , another Italian , Is languishing In' the city Jail at "present " to ivwolt an ex amination Into matters that Implicate him cllghtly with the missing of the money. Powell tells the police that some one entered his house Saturday night and took 1 his trousers from the room to the porch j and extracted from the pocket thereof a I I roll of bills with a rubber band around It. In the roll there -were seven $10 bills and | i an old $20bill. . I The complainant states that Proclpll came to his place last week and said that ho was | hard up and did not have money enough to pay for a night's lodging. Powell opened i his heart and homo and asked the stranger to otop with him. That night Powell i missed a $20 bill , but found It later. In looking for the money , however , ho had occasion to Hash his roll and ho says that Proclpll took a good look at It. When Proclpll was placed under nrrest $550 was found on his person. Ho told the police the reason he had so much cash about him wna owing to the fact that he had been In business In Webster City , la. , and had burned out. The cash represented what he had obtained from the Insurance company. When the money was examined , seven $10 bills and an old $20 bill wore found bunched together. Powell says he would not swear that the money was his , but Is of the opin ion that It Is. Proclpll will be detained until word can be received from Webster City and from Storm Lake , where ho sayo ho has been stopping for some time. Another suspicious circumstance connected with the matter IB that Proclpll Is unable to account for but about $400 of the money In his possession. FLOOR COVERING YANKED UP Dlnpiite Over the < ) wtierlili > of Some Carpet Cannen Kzcltcmciit In n Hotel. Sergeant Whalen was called down to the Brunswick hotel Sunday afternoon about 2 o'clock upon a report that the carpets ol that hostelry were bolng forcibly removed from the floor by a gang of mon. When he arrived ho found several floors denuded ol their wonted covering , the air was flllod with particles of flying dust and the elevator shaft was piled full of carpets. There was excitement In the air nnd wild gesticulation and angry words passing to and fro. As far as the sergeant was enabled to untangle the complicated trouble he ascertained that there has been some difficulty between the present proprietor of the hotel and a former one. It seems that the man In pos session purchased the carpets In the house from the ono who formerly ran it. He claims that ho paid JlfiO down and prom ised to pay the remainder at a future date. The original owner got in a hurry for his money , but it was not forthcoming , so he [ hired a number of mon Sunday and went to the hotel and began operations. The carpets were yanked from the floor In short order , notwithstanding the remonstrances o ] the Irate landlord. Sergeant Whalen poured oil on the troubled waters and a Sabbath quiet soon reigned again after he had com manded the men to cease work. Iloblied the Grave. A startling Incident , of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia was the sublect. is narrated by him as follows : "I was In a most dreadful condition.
