3 . THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1895. EOLD AT KDSK CREEK, Rich Find Made by a Party of Redding Prospectors. ORE NEAR THE SURFACE. Heavy Yield of the Precious Metal in the Samples Assayed. MINING EXCITEMENT REVIVED. It Is Thought That the Newly Found Lode Is That of the Famous Lost Cabin Claim. REDDING, Car., Jane 25.—Great excite- ment prevails in mining circles in this city to-day. A large gold-bearing belt has just covered six miles to the north- east.. The belt, so fur as prospected, shows 2 width of 800 feet, and crops out boldly to a length of 7500 feet. The ore is dead-black quartz, he impregnated with 1ron and showing a trace of copper, and isabso- lutely free milling. Samples have been assayed by the United States mint and the Murray Brothers, rs of this city, which gave an average value per ton of §50 in gold and §6 in silver. The lode is situated on Kosk Creek, near its junction with Pitt River, and lies be- tween a series of metamorphic and igneous rock formatio Local geologists are of the opinion that it isan outcropping of the great mother lode of the State. 01d prospectors claim it to be the “Lost Cabin’ lode. In the early sixties, just be- fore the Mc ian war, a prospector fou i d ore on Kosk Creek. He b nd commenced prospect- ing for the ledge which threw it off. This he succeeded in finding and within a few months brought to Shasta, which was then the county seat and chief trading point, some immensely rich ore. His de- scription of the size of the ledge was such se alack of confidence among the men and he returned to his find without assi Soon thereafter the Modoc war broke out and the prospector was killed by the Indians and his cabin burned. At inter- vals ever since prospectors have been looking for the mine, their only clew being the old prospector’s cabin. Unable to find the latter, it naturally acquired the name of the “‘Lost Cabin’’ mine. As quartz mining developed in the county a new interest vas taken in tne old story, and year after year prospectors headed that way This spring William Murray, with the assistance of an old prospector named An- derson, found the remains of the old cabin and thereafter found the lede. The ore that the former brought in excited the in- terest of prominent men and a company was formed to test the lode thoroughly. A party sent out by the company, in- cluding the discoverers, returned to-day from the mine with arich sampvle of the face of the lode, which is 800 feet wide and 400 feet high where it is cut by Kosk Creek. The find has created great excitement and prospectors of all degrees are hurrying to this district.

SANTA CRUZ, Car., June 25.—The East Santa Cruz Street Railroad Company is to discard the old out-of-date horsecars which have been doing good service on the road ever since its completion. At the terminal points turntables are being built, and on Front street a survey has been made and the track will be moved ten feet west. New ties and rails will also be used on this street. The new steam motor, the William Ely, which isto take the place of the horse cars, arrived to-day from the Baldwin Locomotive Works at Philadelphia. Thisis a grand improvement on car service as the route of travel is a very important one, and when the mode of locomotion is ready it will be a great convenience to the people residing in East Santa Cruz. The road extends from the lower plaze to Arena Gulch, which is a mile and a half from town. The Catholic cemetery and Schuetzen Park is in close proximity to this terminal point. It also extends in another direc- tion, the line passing the suburbs of East- cliff and Seabright. terminating at Twin Lakes, a summer resort on Monterey Bay controlled by the State association of Bap- tist churches of Northern and Central Cal- ifornia, where there are numerous cot- tages, a hotel, a beautiful chapel, bath- houses, etc. It is also near Santa Maria del Mar, where the Catholic Ladies’ Society has a resort, and where the beau- tiful Hotel del Mar is located. This service, with the fine electric-car system, gives Santa Cruz people the best facilities for traveling around the city and suburbs. —_— GODDESS OF CLOVERDALE, Mrs. C. A.

TACOMA, Wasn,, June 25.—Owing to the pumber of burglaries committed re- cently in the residence portion of the city and the failure of the police to catch the criminals a number of families are now setting out poisoned pies to catch burglars UKIAH'S PIGUS BANDIT Deacon Oldham Held to Answer for Robbing a Stage. HILTON ON THE STAND. Every Detail of the Hold-Up Graphically Described by the Witness. PLANNED BY THE PRISONER. Strong Network of Evidence Con- necting the Old Man With the Crime. UKIAH, CAr,, June 25.—The sensation of the day in the trial of Deacon Oldham for complicity in the robbery of the coast stage was the confession of Hilton, Ola- ham’s accomplice, made on the witne: stand, Hilton told his story in a straight- forward way and the strenuous efforts of the counsel for the defense failed to shake his testimony. On the day of the robbery, May 15, Hiiton went to the home of Oldham to engage in making pickets. He and Old- ham spoke of the prevailing hard times, and Oldham said the railroads owned the country and were robbing the poor people. He said he knew of a scheme by which he could make about $5000; that a stage runs over from Ukiah, by way of Anderson Valley, and carried a good deal of money, and he wanted Hilton to think it over and he would investigate the route. “The proposition,” said Hilton, “was for both to go over by Booneville in a cart and hold up the stage. At that time Old- ham lived in town, and it was hard for us to get together. Oldham was to make a trip to Booneville to move over an outfit for a blacksmith. I was to go along. The stage leaving Booneville in the night was to be robbed by me at that time. But the nights being bright mconlight, and the days long, this scheme was abandoned.” Hilton stated that the job was to be done by himself alone. Oldham was to make up the alibi and share half the money. The witness said Oldham, a few weeks before, had pointed out Jamison, the shotgun messenger, in Ukiah, so that he would know him should he see him on the stage. On the day of the robbery he hid in the brush and scrutinized the passengersin the stage closely to see if Jamison was aboard. Finding he was not in the stage he took a short cut up the mountain, headed the stage and got the boxes. Hil- ton said the driver, Russell, had already thrown one box out before he said a word to him. He secured $1019 05, retraced his way back to Oldham’s and gave Oldham $500. Hilton corroborated all the testi- mony given by previous witnesses, even to the minutest detail, from the planning of the robbery up to the time of the examina- tion by the justice. On croas-examination he said he was born in San Bernardino County, but declined to state where bLis father, mother or any of his folks are. Following Hilton, Sheriff Johnson took the stand and identified a peculiarly colored $20 piece found among the stolen money and a portion of flour-sack in which the money was wrupped when found in Bandit Hilton’s possession. The express boxes, the shotgun, the mask, the overalls, the $20 piece, the flour-sack and two pairs of shoes were offered in evidence by the prosecution, until a goodly portion of the alphabet was used in marking exhibits. The express agent, J. S. Hart, also identi- fied the discolored $20. Alexander Burke, the Marshal who ac- companied the Sheriff in pursuit of the robbers, first identified most of the exhibits and then recounted the tracking of Hilton and Oldham. One of the shoes offered as an exhibit had a peculiar indentation on the sole, made by a break in the leather, which left a distinct mark whenever the track was visible. Burke bad followed this track through the mountains until it led to Oldham’s camp, seven or eight miles north., There he found Oldbam and Hilton, whom Oldham called Wilcox. - Burke produced the small bits that were cut out of the large piece of cloth used by therobber for a mask. These, he testified, were found in Oldham’s camp. The mask proved to be made from a navy- blue flannel shirt, and the sleeves that were cut out were also found in the same camp and were used as stockings by Hil- ton. On_cross-examination the defense tried in vain to break down the testimony of Mr. Burke. Robert Irvine, & 17-year-old boy who stops at the Stanford home in the moun- tains, told of having seen Hilton near the scene of the robbery. At the conclusion of the taking of testi- mony the defense asked that the court dis- miss the defendant on the ground of insufficient evidence to convict. Justice Critchfield overruled the motion and held Oldham to answer under $1000 bonds. Prominent members of the Baptist church were put on the stand as character witnesses for the purpose of reducing the amount of bail, and many more members of the church of which Oldham is deacon and in which he has passed the collection plate so long could beseen in the thronged courtroom during the examination. Mrs. Oldham stood bravely by her husband in his trouble, notwitnstanding that every- thing seemed to be against him. HEAVY YIELD OF CROPS, Farmers Discuss the Formation of a Bean Combine, SANTA. BARBARA, CArn., June 25— Reports from the surrounding country state that late barley and hay are in un- usually promising condition. The bean crop in the great fields extending from Carpenteria to Ventura, the chief Lima bean producer of the world, indicates a heavy vield. Apropos to the occasion the farmers are seriously discussing the pro- ject of forming a combine to keep up bean prices, an undertaking they might easily compass as they control the situation. In the west of town, on a portion of the Hope ranch, cut worms, which have been devastating the great mustard-fields around Lompoc, are doing serious damage, having already destroyed thirty acres of mustard, A T Preparing for Visalin’s Barbecue. VISALIA, Cav., June 25.—This morning ground was broken for a pit in which the meat for the big Fourth of July barbecus will be prepared. The pit will be aimost in the same spot it was a year ago. Long tables will be spread under the large trees who "have shown an appetite for good pastry. ‘ at the edge of the sidewalks on Acequia street, between Court and Locust. This | h; year the pit will be twice as large as a year ago, and there will be much more table room provided. Liberal contributions of fatted stock have been made. e Petaluma Labor Exchange. PETALUMA, Car., June 25.—A branch Labor Exchange was organized here to- night. A charter has been granted and will arrive next week. Numerous mer- chants have pledgea themselyes to accept “labor checks.” Anexchange store will §00n open. SR IR Sues for Damages. SEATTLE. Wasn., June 25.—Elizabeth M. Frazer, wife of Harry Frazer, who was shot and killed by Paul E. Page, in April last, and who was tried and acquitted of the crime last night, this afternoon began a suit in the Superior Court for $25,000 damages. THE ELECTION COMMISSION Mayor Sutro Besieged by Applicants for the Places After He Has Reached a Decision. Local politicians have been greatly in- terested in the appointment of the Elec- tion Commission. Mayor Sutro has de- clared that his personal interest in the appointments went only so far as to insure the choice of good men. The politicians; however, have not been able to move the executive of the municipality to any great extent. “I will appoint the Election Commis- sioners on Monday at noon,” said Mr. Su- tro last night. That was all he would say. To every other question he would reply: *I don't like to speak of that now.”” This was hisanswer to the question as to who he was going to appoint. Heanswered the same way when asked whether it was true that certain influences had been brought to bear against Mr. Phelan, Though Mr. Sutro was evasive, some of those close to him were not. It is said that Mr. Sutro has decided definitely upon the personnel of the Com- mission. The men whom report has slated for the places are: Messrs. Denman and Phelan, Democrats, and Messrs Castle and Foster, Republicans. This announcement will cause consid- erable disappointment in certain quarters, Jeremiah Lynch, Gavin McNab, Clitus Barker and other reformers were being urged. The places, however, are apparently not for them. The only active opposition to any candi- date seems to have been in the case of James D. Phelan. A number of gentle- men claim that Mayor Sutro has let them know that Mr. Phelan’s appointment was decided upon in spite of the opposition. o A BULLET IN HIS HEAD. Charles Meyer Attempts to Commit Suicide in Cypress Lawn Cemetery. Charles Meyer, a furniture polisher, liv- ing at 775 Bryant street, went outto Cy- press Lawn Cemetery last evening, and after wandering around for two or three hours decided that life was not worth the living. He sat down on one of the seats, placed arevolver to his right ear and fired. Superintendent W. J. Blain heard the shot and found Meyer with a gaping wound in the right side of his hefls, He was not unconscious, but he declined to say why he had attempted to take his life. Superintendent Blain rang up the Six- teenth-street police station and asked that the patrol wagon be sent to Thirtieth street and San Jose avenue. He placed Meyer on an electric car and accompanied him to Thirtietn street, where the patrol wagon was waiting. Meyer was taken to the @ity and County Hospital in the wagon, where he promptly received medical attention. The doctors could not say whether or not he would re- cover. He is a native of Germany, 48 years of age and unmarried.’ SLE OF MONTE CAISTO A Great Resort Similar Coney Island to Be Established. to John McNear and the Golden Gate Excursion Company In the Scheme. The Golden Gate Excursion Company, in connection with John A. McNear, the Petaluma millionaire, has perfected plans for the development of a Pacific Coast Coney Island. The site selected for the resort is the old McNear landing on San Pablo Bay, an hour and a quarter’s ride from San Fran- cisco by water. The beach line is four miles in length, and the several hundred acres included in the property comprise all the essential and diversified elements of a model resort. There are wooded slopes, glens, sylvan retreats, an abundance of spring water piped to the grounds, fishing, hunting and spots suitable for aancing platforms, band stands and bicycle-tracks. It is the purpose of the promoters of the seheme to establish a resort which shall be like Coney Island. The McNear lnnding has always been considered the proper an natural terminus of the San Fraucisco and North Pacitic Railway, but it is a matter of history that Peter Donahue, the nngina{{ owner and builder of the line, having ha trouble with those in control of the land at the time the line was building, pre- ferred to spend a million dollars%n the construction of tunnels rather than enter into a compromise in the matter of rights of way. To that personal difference Tibu- ron owes its existence. Mr. McNear has spent thousands of dol- lars in the improvement of the property, and he is heartily interested in the present enterprise, He “will meet the company which hasundertaken the development of the resort half way, and stand his share of the expense, building wharves, boule- vards, booths, racetracks, etc. A shell road is to be constructed along the shore, connecting with the driveway leading to San Rufuefi There is also to be a rail connection between the resort and 8an Kafael, so that persons can have the choice of two routes—by boat direct or by boat and rail via San Rafael. The place will be called Monte Cristo. STRADLEY IS INDIGNANT. The Immigration Commissioner Says the Steamship Officials Often Deceive Him. Immigration Commissioner W. L. Strad- ley is likely to lock horns with the several steamship companies at any time for violating the United States laws relative to the carrying of immigrants. Yesterday he learned that several of the immigrants, who recently arrived from Panama on the City of Sydney, have been coached b{ the steamship officers as what they should answer when questioned by the Commissioner of Immigration. Two were almost without means and they told to borrow $30 or $50 until they had passed muster before the United States officer. Mr. Stradley is very indignant that the steamship oécers should conspire to cheat the Government, and says if he can secure proof of their guilt he will have them arrested. When the Coptic arrived recently Mr. Stradley fonnd that one of the Jap immi- granu had not been properly listed and he ned the Occidental and Oriental Steam- ship Company $10. BOn the last trip of the Colon from Panama four immigrants had not been listed and the Pacific mail was fined $40. In that instance Mr. Stradley found that the purser had misrepresented the facts to im by asserting that the passengers in questions were not immigrants. * CAPITAL CITY NEWS: Emma Dolan Attempts Suicide by Taking Poison. ESCAPE OF LULU WIRT. The Wild Girl Makes Another Successful Dash for Liberty. RATES ON CRUSHED ROCK. Favorable Agreement Submitted to the Bureau of Highways by the Rallroads. SACRAMENTO, CAL., June 26.—Emma Dolan attempted to commit suicide at1l o’clock this morning by swallowing the contents of a bottle of carbolic acid in her apartments in the Manhattan House in this city. Mrs. Dolan was seated in the room with her husband chatting gayly when she suddenly picked up the vial of poison, said ‘‘Here goes,” and swallowed a portion of its contents. Dajan sprang toward her and struck the boftle from her hand. The acid ran over her chin, neck and bosom, burning it in a frightful manner. As soon as possible the services of a physicidn were procured, and everything possible is being done for the unfortunate woman. It seems that she is actuated by suicide mania, as'a few months ago she attempted to put an end to herself by slashing her wrists with a razor, but de- feated her object by screaming at the sight of blood, the cries bringing assist- ance in time to save her life. ESCAPE OF THE WILD GIRL. Lulu Wirt Dashes for Liberty While Be- ing Taken to an Asylum. SACRAMENTO, CaL., June 25—Lulu Wirt, who, after attempting suicide several weeks ago by shooting herselt with a pis- tol, escaped from the County Hospital and wanderea for two weeks in the thickets and ravines of El Dorado-.County before she was captured and returned to the keep- ing of her mother, has again escaped. Mrs. Wirt brought Lulu to Sacramento to-day, and purchased two tickets for Salem, Or., intending to place her in the asylum in that city. Having accepted a position in Salem she desired to have her daughter near her. As she went up the steps of the sleeping-car at the depot to-night Lulu, who was following her mother, sprang from the platform of the car and ran rapidly in the direction of the railroad shops, disappearing in the dark- ness among the huge piles of iron and the dilapidated ears that fill the sidings. Mrs. Wirt is distracted at the loss of her daughter, and fears greatly that should the searchers pursue the girl too closely she will spring into the river and end her life. She says Lulu portrays mortal fear at the approach of a stranger or any number of persons, and will attempt any method of escaping. The entire force of Southern Pacific yard- men has been notified of the girl's escape and is engaged in searching the yards for her, but as she is robed entirely in black, and will run from a light, there is but little probability that she will be captured to-night. Her mother has concluded that it will not be best to make a further at- tempt to convey her to Oregon, but will place her in the Stockton asylum as soon as captured. ROCK-CRUSHING PLANTS. They Are Scon to Be Established by the Bureaw of Highways. SACRAMENTO, CAL., June 25.—Al- though the Governor has not yet been consulted regarding freight rates on crushed rock, the members of tne Bureau of Highways say they are certain they will be approved and that the establishment of rock crushing plants will take place assoon as arrangements can be made. These rates, which the members of the board refuse to make public out of courtesy to the Governor, are said by all to be lower than they had any reason to ex- pect. The honor of having procured these figures is largely attributed to General Ray Stone, who personally saw C. P. Huntington in regard to the matter. The board has about decided that as soon as operations are commenced to divide the State into three large road districts, under the supervision of different members. Marsden Manson will probably have the northern district, Irvine the central and Maude the southern. FRUIT FOR LONDON, Ahipments to Be Made Direct From Sacramento. SACRAMENTO, CAL., June 25.—G. H. Appel, agent for the California Transporta- tion Company, said to-day that the com- pany was perfecting arrangements to be- gin shipping fresh fruit from here to Lon- don about July 1. Reports from London, he says, are favorable to the enterprise and the prospect is “excellent for 'good prices. Shipments up to date this season are hardly one-third those of last year. The crops are light, as well as late, and canners and home dealers are out among the orchards buying freely. If the growers do not make big sales this season they are at least sure to get good prices. Pursuit of a Burglar. , SACRAMENTO, CAL., June 26.—A burg- lar effected an entrance into a building occupied by some Japanese women on I street to-night, and while looting the sleeping apartments 1n the upper story was discovered’ by one of the occupants of the dwelling. She immediately blew a whistle and attracted the attention of Officers Hayes and Fisher. On the arrival of the latter the burglar sprang out of a side window onto the ad- joining roof and fled over the housetops. In springing from one building to the other he missed his footing and fell a distance of thirty feet into a back yard, but managed to effect his escape. He carried away a small amoont of jewelry and a pair of new shoes, leaving his own dilapidated foot- wear behind. Fell Under the Wheels. SBACRAMENTO, Car., June 25.—A young man walked into the Southern Pacific passenger depot early this morning with his left arm hanging to his shoulder by a shred of flesh. He explained that he was stealing a ride on the brakebeam of the Oregon express, and when the train got within'a few blocks of the depot he slipped and fell, the wheels passing over his arm below the shoulder. The young man was taken to the County Hospital, where the arm was cut off. He said that his name was J. B. Jacobs, and that his parents lived on a farm near Corvallis, Or. He was scized with a desire to see.the world, and took the -brakebeam method, owing to lack of funds. RELIGS_()f_E_ARLY DAYS, They Were Discovered in the Ruins of the Old City Hall Yesterday. In the tearing down of the old City Hall those engaged in the work are making many curious finds. In fact a certain por- tion of young S8an Francisco is now yield- ing up some of its relics to the modern residents of what was once the thriving hamlet of "Yerba Buena, afterward known as San Francisco. All of the discoveries are reminiscent— that is, all the discoveries that are above the ordinary—of early days. On Monday afternoon Joe Gumper, one of the men engaged in the work, discovered a withered human hand and a pair of feet cut off at the ankle. The feet were lost in a tumble of rubbish, but he re- tained the hand. An investigation yester- day showed that the hand was not as an- cient as it was supposed to be, but had evidently been a relic lost by some medical student when the Receiving Hospital was in the corner of the old building, and stu- dents from the Toland Medical College gathered there. He had probabiy taken the feet and bands of a subject there in a bundle and overlooked them. An exami- nation of the preserved hand showed that it had been through a medical process. As to the other finds which have been made, the best made so far was by a laborer named Armstrong, who, yesterday, dis- covered a $50 slug among the debris. It Was & new coin to him, but he realized that it was gold, and refused all offers for it until he learned from a neighboring broker what it was worth. He sold it for $55. Another find, though not so valuable, was made in the afternoon. It was a check for $7 drawn on the Adams press Company. The finder took the check to Patrick McDonough'’s saloon on the corner of Clay and Kearny streets, and the latter purchased it as a memento of early days for half the face value of the paper. SUPERVISORS'CONVENTION Many County Officers to Meet in San Francisco Next Month. The Object Is to Secure Funds fora California Exhibit at Atlanta. There is hardly a do#bt now but what California will send a splendid exhibit to the Atlanta (Ga.) International Exposi- tion that will be held during the coming fall. The first and only move in this direc- tion was made by the California State Board of Trade. For a time it looked as though the project would fali through for want of money, as the State had no fund for such a purpose and the last Legislature failed to make an appropriation. After various ideas had been suggested Secretary Filcher hit upon a plan that met with the favor of the members of the Board of Trade. Under the law the Su- pervisors are empowered to appropriate money for the promotion of immigration and the publication of literature calling attention to the advantages of the special localities advertised. = With this in mind Colonel Irish offered a resolution— That the State Board of Trade petition the Governor of Californis to eall & State conven- tion of County Supervisors to meet in San Francisco at some date in the near future for ihe purpose of considering the advisability of making an exhibit of California’s productions at the said Atlanta Exposition, under the auspices of the State Board of Trade, and of pledging sufiicient funds for their respective counties to E:ylheexlm expense which will necessarily be incurred in making said exhibit, And, further, that it is the sense of this body that the County Supervisors should consider the question of raising funds to maintain the State Board of Horticulture until the meet- ing of the next Legislature. In response to this Governor Budd yes- terday sent a telephone message to Secretary Filcher stating that he would call a convention of all the Supervisors in the State, and asked Mr. Filcher to set the time and place. The secretary suggested July 8 and at once secured the Chamber of Commerce for the convention and Mr. Filcher also made arrangements for re- duced rates by railroad for the visiting Supervisors. He further obtained from a number of hotel mnen special rates for the delegates to the convention.
