MR.. A. CANNON RETURNS.
Was Called to Raleigh on Impor
tant Business Connected With
Board of Agriculture.
Hon. A. Cannon, of Horse Shoe, who
is a member of the executive committee
of the North Carolina Board of Agri
culture, returned Irom Raleigh last
Saturday. The object of his visit is ful
ly told in the following from the .Raleigh
Evening: Times: .
"A complete sewerage system is to be
installed at the A. and M. College, the
work to begin at the earliest possible
minute so that the system can be ready
for service as soon after the opening of
the college as possible. The sum of
$7,500 now in. the state treasury has
been set aside for this purpose.
An order to this effect was made this
morning during a conference in which
Governor Glenn, the members of the
council of state, the executive commit
tee of the board ol college trustees and
a special sewerage committee of the col
lege participated. The state treasurer
is to arrange for advancing vthe money
required and Governor Glenn will call
on the next General Assembly to make
a special appropriation to meet the obli
gation," The following is the resolution adopt
ed during the conference:
"Resolved by the Executive Commit
tee of the North Carolina Agricultural
and Mechanical College, and the Coun
cil of State in joint meeting that an
amount not exceeding the sum of seven
thousand five hundred ($7,50i) dollars,
out of the general fund appropriated for
the support and maintenance of said
college, be used for the construction of
n adequate sewerage system for the
college. " ' "
,4It is further resolved, that the col
lege authorities be requested to im
mediately contract for the work, and
push the same t as speedy a comple
tion as possible, to the end that said
-system be ready for use at the com
mencement of the next college term."
Executive Committee Acts.
After the conference in the govern
or's office for the adoption of the above
resolution there was a meeting of the
YocUtive committee of - the college
. trustees in the office or Commissioner of
Agriculture S. L Patterson.
At this meeting a special committee
consisting of Commissioner Patterson,
Prof. W. .fj. Hm and Prof. Riddicfc of
the college was appointed to have di
rectly under their supervision the work
of constructing the sewer system. This
committee will also receive propositions
from private parties in the vicinity to
connect with the college, sewer. It is
expected that a number of private sub
scribers can be secured in thisway and
thereby materially reduce the cost of
the system to the state.
The executive committee of the col
lege issues the following statement to
the public, it being signed by S. L Pat
terson, commissioner, R. W. Scott,1 A.
Gannon and J. s. Stokes: ' "The trustees
desire to assure the people of the state
that everything possible to make the
sanitary conditions at the college per
fect will be done at once. Neither ex
pense nor trouble will be spared in tak
ing every precaution for the health of
the students. Id is believed that the
completion of the sewer system, . which
has loug been needed, will put the insti
tution in a thoroughly good sanitary
condition.
"In view of some reports as to cases
of fever supposed to be contracted dur
ing the session. o the Summer School
at the college, the board wishes to say
that it has no desir to conceal any
facts from the public. Several persons
out of the eight hundred who attended
the Summer School have since been sick
with typhoid fever. But in view of the
fact that so few cases out of the large
number in attendance occured and that
the general health of the college com
munity has been as good as usual, the
board feels that it is not probable that
the fever was contracted there. This
belief is emphasized by the fact that
typhoid fever has been unusually prev
alent in many parts of the state during
this summer, and that it is practically
impossible for a large number of people
to be assembled without some fever-infected
person being in the number. Two
of those who have since been sick were
unwell when they reached the Summer
School.
"An inspection of the college seems
to show that there is nothing unsani
tary there, upless it is the absence of
a modern fewer system and this, as al
ready stated, will be provided at once."-

GOVERNOR GLENN HAS A
WORD;
Denies Mistreatment by Tammany
Hall Party at Coney Island.
Governor Glenn this afternoon asserted
that reports of his treatment by the Tam
many, Hall party at Coney Island, July 4,
1905, was not true, as published by a New
York paper.
He was approached by parties there
relative to pardoning Convict Hawley, the
New York gold brick raanV and on refusing
to consider the application, was so -rudely J
treated he left the banquet room, being fol
lowed by the Lieutenant . Governor of
Louisiana and his natty of New York
friends.
No pistols were displayed and no vio
lence was used, but there were some
threats. The reception accorded the gov
ernor was pknndd by Mrs. Hawley, , the
convict's wife, who hoped thereby to "win
consideration, but those pressing her
claims, while under the influence of whis
key, became rude, thus injuring her cause.
Governor Glenn was first disposed to be
indignant, but - does not think now that
TammaDy Hall had anything to do with
the design. He regrets that the matter
got into the. papers, he having declined
many times to be interviewed, and will not
new give details. Rahigh Cor. Charlotte

A BIG MINING CAMP.
Judge H. G. Ewart Tells, of His
Observation in the West- X.'
- em Country.
To a Gazette-News reporter, Judge
Ewart, who has just returned from the
west, said: ; . ?
'Southern Nevada is destined to be
come the greatest mining camp of the
world. " 1 ; spent three weeks at Gold
field, Tonopah, Rhyolite, Bull-Frog, and
other great mining camps. I went
there prepared to discount the wonder
ful stories I had read of , this section,
but do not now hesitate to say thai
there has been no exaggeration. Two
years, ago Goldfield was a desert; the
abode of the coyote, and venomous
"side-wheelers;" today it is a modern,
up-to-date city of 10,000 population.
Bull Frog, or Rhyolite as' it is now
called, is the greatest of all the mining
camps. , It sprang into existence two
years ago, and now has a population of
nearly 5,000. In two more years it will
have a population of 20,00u and wjll be
known as the metropolis of southern Ne
vada. .Three different lines of railway
are being built into Rhyolite as fast as
men and money can do it. This will
greatly reduce the cost of living, now
exceedingly high, and will place the
city In 12 hours of Los Angeles, Cal.,
making it possible for its residents to
have upon their tables fresh gs and
strawberries, and the choicest sea-food
everjr day in the year. Rhyolite is lo
cated in a horseshoe, and for miles
around it are found many of the great
est producing gold mines in the world
Here Is found the "Montgomery Sho
shone," which sold three years ago as
a prospect for $300," and less than four
months ago was bought by Charles M.
Schwab, the . Pittsburg steel magnate,
and his associates for four million dol
lars. Mining experts declare that i
will rival the famous Virginia Comstock
lode, which has produced over six
hundred million of the precious metal.
Its stock has advanced from 15c to $18
per share. In close proximity are
scores of other great mines, all inactive
operation. All night long the blasting
goes on, sounding as if a great artillery
duel was in progress. I met many mla-.
ing engineers and miners from Alaska,
South Africa and other great gold
camps, and all, without exception, de
clare the Bull Frog, or Rhyolite, camp
to be the greatest in the world. The
camp is called ''Bull Frog" because of
the mottled appearance of the surface
rock found in this locality. It was first
discovered by ''Sholty Hains," a pros
pector who sold his half interest in his
claim for f 18,000, blowing in $12,000 in
three nights in the gambling saloons
and dance halls which abound in all
these mining camps.
The state licenses gambling establish
ments. These with the saloons, dance
halls and vaudeville theaters, never
close, day or night, and at three or four
o'clock in the early morning you will
find them crowded to the limit. But it
is a jolly, good-natured crowd, and of
all the hundreds that I saw I never
noticed once an intoxicated man, a gun
or a policeman. Goldfield has only had
one homicide in 18 months.
None of the mining towns are incor
porated, their affairs being controlled
by the board of county commissioners.
For 200 miles rich strikes are being
made every day, and it is a conservative
estimate to make when it is said that
southern Nevada will, in the next two
years, add eight hundred millions to
the world's supply of gold! .
I crossed the Amargosen desert, from
whose barren and arid wastes can be
seen with the naked eye, 30 miles away,
the snow-capped peaks of the Charles
ton range, 14,000 feet above sea level.
I tvas also in the Funeral range, where
is located the "Bull-Frog Comstock
mine,' declared by experts to be exactly
the same : formation as the famous
"Montgomery-Shoshone'.' only eight
miles away, and where surface speci
mens show high values in both gold and
silver. This valuable property is owned
by Kansas City capitalists, and a limited
amount of its stock is to be put upon the
market. '
Directly south of the Funeral range,
stretch for 125 miles the terrible Death
Valley, 440 feet below sea level, and
where lie the bleached bonss of scores
of adventurous prospectors who ha ye
perished from the awful "desert thirst"
in their search for the yellow metal..
On my. trip I visited 'Frisco, and Los.
Angeles. To my mind 'Frisco is a,
doomed city. The earthquake must
have been terrific. In many parts of
the city there are. great depressioDst
and on one street a six story frame hotel
sank into the ground, barely leaving
two stories above the street. Forty-two
thousand homeless people are still liv
ing in tents in the public parks and
must live there during the winter
SAD AND TRAGIC DEATH.
Young" Lady Formerly of :Asheville
Meets Death in Washington
While out Horse-back
. Riding.
News has been received here of the trag
ic death of Miss Jennie Lovie Goodlake in
the mouth of Silver Creek canyon, one
mile from Keller, in the state of Washing
ton. Miss Goodlake met her death on the
ifternoon of Sunday, July 8, shortly after
5 o'clock. The announcement of the
death of Miss Goodlake will come as a
shock to many people in Asheville and
Biltmore who knew the young woman.
Vliss Goodlake was born in Huntsyille,
Washington Territory, on March 12, 1884.
Subsequently the young woman removed
to Biltmore with her parents where she re
sided for several years and atteuded the
Vanderbilt school in Biltmore village.
She was a popular young girl and made
many warm friends while residing in this
section. She later removed to Washing
ton and was living at Wilbur, Washing
ton, when she met her death in a most
tragic and peculiar, manner. The follow
ing account of the accident that caused her
death has been reoeived here:
"Miss Goodlake and Miss Garwood
started for a horseback ride about 6 p.m.
Sunday evening for the purpose of meet
ing a fishing party up the river. There
are two means of egress from Keller up
the San Poil river north, one that is known
hs the upper road, that is, on the east side
of the river at the upper end of Keller
avenue at the north end of town. In or

the demands for dimes made upon it, and
