It is definitely known that Jabez Hiues, alias Wm, M. Hines, | . is not in New York, nor in any other place but San Francisco, | Cal,, where he is conferring with his colony backers with a view of obtaining funds with which to carry out his scheme. As yet nothing as to what success has accompanied' him has been oh- tainable, but from statements made by him before his depart- ure for the west it would seem that he was almost certain that a million in hard cash would be his wad when he returned from the Golden Gate city. The report that Mr. Hines was financially embarassed has considerable de preciated the price of stocks in! the enterprise and unless he can “make good” it is probable that they will sink into the large hole which has been dug on the site of Mr. Hines’ future city and be ignominiously buried.
