However, most of these men wore groon at the business and knew nothing of shooting oh a stick of dynamite even If they had one In their outfits. They contented themselves with chipping off pieces of rock with axes and ending tho samples away to be assayed. Some of these samples ran as high as $GO0 In gold to the ton. and even the poorest of them went $20 to tho ton in gold with a sprinkling of sliver, nickel and copper. in tho parties now going out aro several women lured to tho north by the unquenchable desire for gold.

ROOSEVELT BAGS THREE IN FIRST AFRICAN HUNT.

KERMIT HAS ONE TO CREDIT

Natives Dance Around Trophies of the Chase After Big Hunt in the Jungle.

Nalrborl, Urltish 12ast Africa, Cable: Four Hons are trophies of former President Koosevolt's camp in the Man Hills and the 200 or more native followers are joining with the American party in the celebration of the unusually good luck. The lions were bagged last Friday, and t'ol. Roosevelt's mighty gun brought three of them to earth, each on the first shot. Thus one of the President's fondest ambitions has been realized, and he Is proud, too, that the fourth of the Jungle kings fell before tho rifle of his son Kermit. who. however, took three shots to kill Iiis quarry. Both father and son are Jubilant. It was their first lion hunt and so magnificent a kill was far beyond their expectations, but Hons have been plentllui in the hills for the past month and the English hunter. F. C. Selous, has been out for several days laying plans for their extinction. Mr. Selous accompanied the formor President, who also was attended by the usual retinue of beaters. As a rule tho heaters go Into tho jungle with considerable trepidation, but as Col. Roosevelt's reputation as a hunter had reached hero long before ho arrived In person, the beaters on this occasion were exceptionally enthusiastic. They seemed even eager to play a part In the first hunt of the distinguished American. The caravan started early Thursday morning from the ranch of Sir Alfred Pease on tho Athl River and proceeded slowly to the Man hills. This range Is open for wide areas, but in plnces is covered with dense growths where game is plentiful. The first night in camp was without especial Incident, no attempt being made to go after Hons, although their call was heard now and then during tho night, but at dawn tho camp was astir, and the drive speedily organized. The native hunters set out In all directions, tinder the Instructions of the 'head mnn." armed with all sorts of nolse-maklng devices, which could not but arouse any game within earshot. Some of the beats proved blanks, but by nightfall no less than ten kinds of game had been bagged. Kermit. during the greater pnrt of the day. did more effective work with his camera than he did with his gun. he and the other members of the party nllowlng Mr. RooBovelt the much prized shots. Details of the actual shooting were not brought down to Nairobi from the camp, but It wns declared that In each case a single bullet from the former President's rifle sufficed to bring down his Hon. From this it is regarded that Col. Roosevelt Is living up to tho reputation which he has gained hero of being a crack shoL All of the Hons were of normal size, and after the natives had dragged them together In tho grass they executed the usual dance around tho trophies.

AMERICAN MISSIO: ARIES ARE SAFE

Sword and Torch of the Moslems Have Spread Death and Ruin In Adana.

Constantinople, Cable: Reports recolvod here by letters and telegrams how alarming conditions In Adana, whoro tho sword and torch of tho Moslem have spread death and ruin. Later dispatches show that troops have arrived at lladjtn and regiments are being rushed to Adana.

ers for Foreign Missions, the following dispatch was received here by ,

llev. V. W. I'cettho: "The fighting, which began again in Adana. Sunday night, was continued for two days. A terrible fire is destroying the Christian quarters of Adana. and an effort is being made u stamp out the Armenians. "The local olliclals refuso to furnish us with a sullicleut guard.

In the Province of Adana. where five Americnn women missionaries have been alono with thousands of refugees who sought safety there from bands of Moslems seeking to put them to the word. Hadjfn has withstood a siege for the past eight days, and the missionaries nave been sending out frantic appeals for help. Refugees are flocking to all the rities. and it is imperative that they receive immediate aid. as thousands are starving. The Relief Committee at Beirut, of which Consul General Ilayndnl is Chairman, is doing effective work, and it has sent out an appeal for $10.000 to relieve suffering and distress for at least a few days. The river that empties into the sea it Mersina is carrying down many bodies of men, women and children. Several corpses are drifting in close proximity to the Italian warship In the harbor. They undoubtedly were thrown into the river In the country above tho city. The men from the British warship in the harbor are doing splendid service. Order has been restored at Deurtyul. where thousands of refugees nrc rrowded in a most miserable plight. The Armenian race will recover with the greatest difficulty from the crushing blows of the last fortnight. NOTORIOUS NADIR EXECUTED.

The other members of this Cabinet weie Izzet Pasha and Fehim Pasha. Tho former, tho Sultan's secretary, is now in hiding in Ixjndon. and the latter, who was head of the Sultan's spy system, has been assassinated somewhere In Russia.

Flowery Kingdom Gets Almost Entire Earnings of Japanese in the Northwest.

Seattle, Wash.. Spoclal: The Jap

anese population of the Northwestern

states are hoagrilng up and sending

almost their entire earnings to Japan,

according to the report just mndo by Postmaster George F. Russell. Every steamship leaving this port takes from the local itostofllcc from $11,000 to $40,000 In gold. During tho fiscal year ending Feb. 2S. 1009. tho Japanese sent through the exchange office of the local postolfice to Japan the enormous sum of $3,500.000. Of this amount $2.000,000 was sent to the far east by the Japanese who are residents of Seattle and suburbs; the remaining $1.500.000 by Japanese In Idaho, Montana. North Dakota, Minnesota and Alaska. All of this money represents Japanese money orders Issued by the postolllces of theso named states and certificates through tho exchange office at Senttle. Large amounts were sent from numerous towns in Montana, notably Havre. Missoula, and Whitefish. as many hundreds of Japanese coolies are engaged thero in railroad construction work. Helena and Butte also contributed large numbers of money orders. Crookston and the larger cities In Minnesota sent unusually large amounts of the money to Japan. Tncoma and Spokane. Wash., have large Japanese colonies and these contributed In larger sums than ever before. There has been an increase of 35 per cent in money orders bought in the northwest states payable to Japan. Practically all the money sent to the rlent is handled through postofllrcs. for tho Japan government maintains the most elaborate system of postal savings hanks in the world. This enormous sum saved and sent to their homeland by the Japanese shows better than scores of books the unbounded loyalty and love these lit tie brown men have for their native land.

The states of Oregon and Idaho also have been receiving their quota of easterners in proportion as named. In Oregon there have been many timber claims taken up by the newcomers, hut in this state the settlers do not take so well to the timbered localities because of the density of the forests. It takes eight years IWore a timbered section in western Washington can be made to grow anything In the vegetable or grain lino.
