WEEKLY ESTABLISHED 1859. WOODLAND, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 1900. MANHATTAN LIFE, Tom Slavsn Returns from the New Mining Gamp, Eli ObuTvaticms to Satiifaotory That He Is Going Back for a Prolonged QJay. (Tom Slaven recently took a trip to Manliattari, the new mining camp in Nevada, not very far from Tonopah. He returned ou Tuesday so well with his experience that he will go hack to the camp for a prolonged stay as soon as he can arrange his busine'ss affairs In this says the growth: of Manhattan IB something phenomenal.

Three weeks ago It was a very small place. Today It a city almost as large as Woodland. It all the en route to Manhattan were lined up on the prairie, the string would be 60 miles' long. The Manhattan fever in Tonopah Is something to marvel at. It la described as more virulent than any mining fever that has occurred since -TTonopah has been In existence.

The road between Tonopah and the new camp is lined every day with men who are hurrying forth In order to share In the wealth that lies there In waiting. Every; stage Is to the extent of Its capacity with ipassengers and seats have been en- for days ahead. Riga at the llv- stables arrtl private teams are all in use and the demand for traveling facilities grows stronger day. Every morning there are more people leaving for the northern gold district than the morning preceding. Both the freight and passenger traffic are increasing at such a rate that they bid fair to surpass iu a short time the old teaming business between Tonopah and Bull, Frog.

Hundreds of horses and mules are now engaged In the Manhattan traffic, and If there is an Idle freighting-outfit In Tonopah it Is" the fault of the owner. Th'e Touopah men who have become financially Interested in Manhattan's mines and realty are reaping a tremendous profit In them and large numbers of persons are on the rapid road to great wealth. The road between Tonopah and Manhattan IB lined with scores of fortune hunters, many ot whom are going thence for mining and others to engage In various pursuits dependent upon the mineral production ot the camp. The real estate boom is something unprecedented In the history of Nevada and lots are at a tremendous premium. Every man who has engaged In business there found his store ot goods far too small to meet the demands and his facilities Inadequate to accommodate the business.

The lumber business especially has been one of quick growth and Is the barometer of the prosperity of Any western city. Fortunately for, Mnahattim there are large quantities lumber In the yards of Tonopah and there need be no delay In this re- In the building up of the northern metropolis. There have been several sudden and exciting mining booms In southern Nevada since the discovery of Tonopah five and a half years since, but none have been quite as quick or as'excit- ing as the present one at Manhattan. The town of Manhattan Is situated in the canyon between the mountains the Manhattan mining district and Is the headquarters of the district. It lies almost due north from Tonopah, distant about GO miles.

It has an elevation of about 7200 feet and Its Inhabitants boast of there being no sickness in the camp. Gold was first discovered In hattan district In 1900. Very little was known about Tt till first strike of Importance was made last June. The next was last October. In several of the mines the average assay is $266 to the ton.

Irving Miller, a graduate of tho University of California mining college, says the Manhattan district is going to he a wonder. While Mr. Slaven was In the mining country he met Owen Ogden.a brother- in-law "of Joe Rumsey. Mr. Ogden thinks he has struck It rich.

He Is on Ixme mountain, which Is twelve miles from Tonopah. He Is Interested in twelve claims. Five of these ara for 1 20,000. He has a fourth interest in what he considers Is the best Mr. Ogden left Yolo for Alaska tea ago.

He remained Iu the north. ern country eight years. The last two years he has spent In the mining dls- vicinity of Tonopah. LAMB BACK. This ailment ia usually caused by rheumatism of the muscles and may cured by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm rtra or three times a day and rubbing the parts vigorously at application.

District Attorney Huston went to Guinda on Tuesday where he 'learned that Peter Satduherae lias disappeared, and the prevailing opinion is that he Jumped his ball. Borne time ago Salduberae, who is a Frenchman, was arrested on a charge of having attempted to commit rapr on a colored named Hemphlll, who lives near Guinda. The French- matt was In the employ ot James Fitz- natrlck of Shasta county, who Is running a lot of sheep on tho PUCK learner, range, near Quinda. "Salduberae was taken before Justice Norton of Guinda Fitzpatrlck offered to go on his bail bond. District Attorney Huston Insisted that it should he for $1000, and accordingly Fitzpatrlck.

gave two checks, one (700 aadvthe other for on a Te- county hank, justice Norton Accepted these checks'and the Frenchman was released. He went back to work on the sheep range hut remained only a few days. When lie left he said tie was going to San Francisco. He has not been seeii in Yolo county since. District Attorney Huston got a tip that Salduberae had skipped and he concluded to go up and Investigate.

He found that the checks were in possession of Justice Norton, who had not made an effort to collect them. Justice Norton sent a telegram "to the bank, on Tuesday and got a reply in- forming'' him that payment of the checks had been stopped by Fitzpat- rlck, who must have known that the Frenchman had' jumped Ills bail or was likely to do so. The officers are on the alert and Salduberae may be apprehended. CASS-WILLIAMS, DAILY ESTABLISHED 1877. We stop the press to announce the marriage of Miss Maggie Williams, of this city, and Mr.

The increased interest in forest and forest trees which is a sign of the times has, among other things, led many city 'and town officials to seek to make known the names of trees growing In streets and parks, Not only are such trees in very many cases now without marks of identification, but In not a few cases they have been labeled with Incorrect names.
