SACRAMENTO, Car., Oct. 20.—John T. Barry. one of the oldest newspaper men on the coast, was found dying 1n his bed at midnight last night. His name is known from one end of the State to the other as a printer and writer. Fifteen years ago he was proprietor of the San Francisco Monitor and was a man of some means, but he liked liquor and this led to a considerable extent to his dropping out of the literary arena and devoting him- He con- ducted a job printing ofhce in this city for a number of years and sold out his plant to parties who established a daily paper. For the past week Barry had been drink- ing heavily. On Saturday morning he went home and taking a laree dose of mor- phine went to bed. He never regained consciousness, but died soon after being found. His wife, to whom he had been married thirty vears, had been threaten- ing suit for divorce and it is said amon, his intimate friends that Barry had hear { that the papers were already drawn up. They believe that this may have had some- thing to do with his taking the poison. Aside from this there 1s no apparent mo- tive for his taking his life, unless it was general despondency, superinduced by too much drink. It was his love for liquor that led to the trouble between himself and his wife, and it is said that the ground upon which the suit was to have been brought was cruelty. Mrs. Barry has been away from home for two or three weeks, and it is thought it was not her intention to have returned to the house where her husband lived. WILL TRAVERSE.

The plans are now being made for the same. It was at one time thought the caisson would be built by contract, but the good and rapid work | accomplished on the new tug was such | that it resulted in orders being issued for | the work to be done at Mare Island. Repairs will be done on the monitor Monterey before she leaves the yard. The Ranger, after an absence of a num- ber of months on the lower coast, will ar- rive at the yard the first of this week for repairs. 'he Marion is awaiting orders, which are expected to send her to the South American coast. Ten thousand dollars will be expended dredging the water-front preparatory to the erection of coalsheds. The Hartford has been hauled to the wharf near the ferry slipand a force of men are still employed on ner. The offices of the assistant naval constructors have been moved to the construction building, near the waterfront, where they can give their personal supervision to the repairs on the oid flagship. il A FATAL ACCIDENT.

Center of Trade for Fine Fruit and a Manufacturer of Beet Sugar. WATSONVILLE, CaL., Oct. 20.—One of the best and liveliest towns in the State, and where the hard times seems to have affected it the least, is the town of Watson- vitle. Here is centered the entire trade of the Pajaro Valley, one of the most fertile of the State, and where the famous straw- berries, the largest sugar beets and the best vegetable and orchard products grow. 1n this city is situated the largest sugar- beet factory in the State, and consequently the cuitivation of the sugar beet isone of the principal industries of the farmers of this section. The crop this year is espe- cinlly large, and a sight worth witnessing in tte early mornings is the procession of immense wagons loaded with beets at the factory gate. It gives one an idea of the marvelous size of Pajaro’s leading in- dustry. Thursday, October 15, was payday for beets. Upto6 s. M. on that day the fac- tory bad run 917 hours, had mulled 32,151 tons of beets and packed 4420 tons of sugar. The sugar made to date would require for the shipment of it at least 400 broad-gauge cars. The packing-houses in Watsonville are | packing large quantities of apples for the Eastern market. This industry is reach- ing marvelons propartions and shipments are being made daily. The prune crop is also very large this vear and the prunes are of a larger size and quite plentiful. gy PAJARO VALLEY FAILR. 1t Will Open With a Grand Display at Watsonville. | WATSBNVILLE, Car, Oct. 20.—Tne annual Pajaro Valley Fair this year will | commence on Wednesday, October 23, at | t!)r.

George «d. Williams of Riverside Hurt at Santa Monica. SANTA MONICA, Oct. 20.—George A. Williams of Riverside, aged about 63 BENICIA, CaL., Oct. 20.—A shooting ac- cident occurred this morning at half-past 10 o’clock in which Aleck Kerr, one of Be- nicia’s promising young men, lost his life. He was shooting on the marshes about three miles north of here. In attempting to part the tules with the butt end of his loaded gun the piece was accidentally discharged, the contents car- rying away part of his skull. He was im- mediately brought to the residence of his father, who resiaes here, but expired a few minutes after his arrival.- His death was a sad blow to his parents and friends, who are in mourning for the death of the young man’s brother, who died here only a short time ago. e BURLEIGH 1S SILENT. The Receiver of the Northern Pacific Has Nothing to Say. 5 TLE, Wasn., Oct. 20.—Receiver Andrew Burleigh of the Northern Pacific road returned from New York to-night. He declined to impart any information concerning the receivership muddle, or as to what will be his attitade toward the re- years, who was spending the day here fell off an embankment a distance of twenty feet while descending into the canyon. Medical attendance wasat once summoned from the town and Dr. Lindsay answered. He found the man unconscious, suffer- ing from concussion of the brain and pro- nounced his recovery doubtful. He is at Dilion’s pavilion at the canyon, where eyerything pessible is being done. i Rain at Merced. MERCED, CaLn, Oct. 20.—A fine rain visited this section last night and this morning. It was preceded by lightning but no wind. The storm extended far back into the mountains and willdo a_good deal of good to the stock interests. The fall was .45 of an inch. e To Repair Freano’s Courthouse. FRESNO, Car., Oct. 20.—The Board of Supervisors yesterday accepted the plans of Architect J. M.

DEVELOPMENT WORK ON THE BOSTON To BE RESUMED. SEVENTY FEET OF ORE. MILLIONS OF TONS THAT WILL YIELD ITS OWNERS RICH RETURNS. VALUES INCREASE AT DEPTH.| A HisTorY THAT WILL APPLY TO Many OTHER ABANDONED CALIFORNIA MINES. [Speclal Correspondence 0f THE CALL.] MOKELUMNE HILL, Cav., Oct. 15.—If another Utica mine is developed soon in Calaveras County it is likely to be by the Esperanza Company, whose claim is located three and a balf miles northeast of would be a small affair by comparison. At this lower level I found a “‘streak” of high- grade ore twelve feet wide on the footwall sparkling with sulphurets and carrying a large percentage of galena. In much of this ore free gold can be seen in the sul- phurets, and the galena is rich in silver. The entire width of twelve feet is said to average $25 per ton, and the entire vein at this level $7 per ton. Some of the assays of the sulphurets run over $1000 a ton. Comparing the Ksperanza with other mother lode mines, William T. Robinson, the superintendent says: *‘The outcrop or surface quartz of the Ezperanza, in point of richness, is unprecedented. It is usual to find but a trace of gold on the croppings of the great mother lode mines, and it is often found necessary to sink hundreds of feet before encountering quartz that will pay for milling. In the case of the Eureka mine, at Sutter Creek, only $250 per ton was yielded the first 400 feet in depth; and yet this famous old vroperty put in circu- lation over $15,000,000. Again, the Gwin mine encountered only low-grade ore for 350 or 400 feet in depth, but between the 400 and 900 foot levels produced ore worth $10 a ton. The Kennedy mine, at Jackson, was sunk on and worked to the depth of 600 feet on low-grade ore, and finally shut down because it would not pay. Subsequently it was reopened by the present Kennedy Company, and after sinking to the 900-foot level has paid an average of $15 per ton. The adjoining mine to the Kennedy, the Oneida, has paid $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 in its day. The Keystone mine at Amador City can show a balance-sheet of $10,000,000 and is yet producing. The Utica mine of Angels | Camp, supposed to be on the same lode as the Esperanza, shows a net gain of $200,000 | DIED FROM A DRINK, STRANGE CASE AT FOWLER ‘WHICH MAY PROVE TO BE MURDER.

FRESNO, Car.,, Oct. 20. — A strange case of death occurred this after- noon at the town of Fowler, ten miles | south of this city.

L5N.RI2 E. s \a CUTLINE MAP OF THE ESPERANZA MINE AND SOME OF [Furnished by courtesy of W. T. Robinson. Surveyed by C. M. THE ADJOINING CLAIMS, Burleson, C.E.] Mokelumne Hill. This mine has long been known as the Boston and has had a chequered career, having had many own- ers and been worked and abandoned | numerous times. At the present time the | principal owner is Hon. 8. P. Ely, and with abundant capital and good manage- | ment the merit of the mine isbeing proved | to the satisfaction of all. Those baving | the best knowledge of the past history of | the mine have always contended that it would pay if worked economically on a large scale, but that it was distinctly a low-grade proposition. The developments of the first year show a remarkable im- provement in the quality of the ore, even at the depth of 100 feet, with no diminu- tion in the quantity, and if the samples shown mean a fair average and the reports of assay value are true, a large part of the vein is of much higher grade than the Utica, even at the 1000-foot level. ‘fhe Esperanza claim is 4700 feet in length by 600 feet wide. The work done on it is mostly in a deep canyon a short distance from the Mokelumne River. The facilities for tunneling are excellent, there being 378 feet of vertical backs above the | lowest tunnel. The footwall issyenite and | the hanging wall slate. The tunnels run in on the vein, there being &n open cross- cut on the hillside exposing the vein and showing it to be nearly 100 feet wide. Itis claimed the entire mass of vein matter above the tunnel level is low-grade ore and will pay to mill. The lowest tunnel is in 320 feet and the vein crosscut in two places, showing it to be from thirty to seventy feet wide, stratified with several distinct veins, with a gouge beiween each and varying in richness. At the tunnel level the ore is all practically mill rock, and at the bottom of a winze sunk forty- five feet from this level, ana where a cross- cut was run, the general average value for forty-five feet was $5 per ton, and a rich | streak encountered, nine feet wide, that averaged §65 per ton. A marked change ‘was visible even at this shallow depth in the character and quality of the ore, the percentage of sulphurets increasing and their value multiplying several times. A prospecting shaft has been sunk 100 feet below the tunnel level, and ina drift and crosscuts from the bottom of the shaft the true character and magnitude of the vein is best illustrated. There are millions of tons of low-grade ore above this level, and thousands of tons of high-grade ore, but the value of the mine is still nearly all below. Should the improvement continue in the same ratio to the 1000 level as it has from the tunnel ievel to the bottom of the shaft the Utica bonanza per month, The Zelie mine of Jackson has been in operation for seventeen years, and although it has a record of only about $4 50 to $5 per ton has paid regular divi dends. These are only a few of the pa; ing mines of the great northern zone. Not one of them coutd be bought to-day, as they are not for sale at any price, and not one of them, at the depth of the pres- ent workings of the Esperanza, can com- pare with it in value of the guartz nor in quantity of paying ledge matter.” The Esperanza mine is so fortunately located that mining and milling may be carried on at the minimum of cost. Tim- ber is abundant on the property of the company and on the adjacent mountains. Abundance of water for power flows by the mine in the Mokelumne River the year round. The Mokelumne diich is on the brow of the mountain, 600 feet above the mine, and with that tremendous pres- sure the company is able to create 125 horsepower with a Pelton wheel and a half-inch nozzle. Under the new management allimprove- ments about the mine are being made in first-class style. The old twenty-stamp mill has been overhauled and almost en- tirely rebuilt, Frue concentrators added, a | Pelton wheel put in, and it will be crush- ing ore by the 1st of November. Itisex- pected the returns from the mill will pay all expenses of the mine and for a perma- nent perpendicular working shaft, which will be begun as soon as the present sur- face work outlined is completed. The company has just completed a fine new office building and will build cottages forthe men as they are needed. There is a boarding-house, a bunk-house, stable and all the necessary buildings. The force of men at present employed is about forty, which will be largely increased in the near future. There is no trouble when payday comes at the Esperanza mine. The money is always ready, and Mr. Ely pays cash for everything the moment it is due. Mo- }}:lumne Hill'is already beginning to feel the good effects of the work being done at this mine, and when the prospecting stage is past and tw oor three hundred stamps are running on good pay ore the camp will be as lively and prosperous as Angels under the domination of the “‘other Utica.” A. J. BROOKS. A Maildog’s Travels. TACOMA, WasH., Oct. 20.—Owney, the famous postollice employes’ dog, from Al- bany, N. Y., who ieft here on the Victoria August 17, was left at Kobe October 2, whence he will go to New York direct through the Suez canal on the steamer Braemer. The dead man’s name is either John | Ford or John Monroe. Nothing of his | past is knowh. He came to Fowler a few | days ago, and has been picking grapes on a vineyard near town. The affair occurred in a saloon called the Blue Wing, which | was crowded with men at the time. Every |one was drunk, from barkeeper down. | Therefore definite particulars were secured | with difficulty. Late to-night Constable Henry arrested J. H. Hawkins in Chinatown, in this city, as the man who gave the whisky to Mon- roe. Hawkins frankly admitted that he was the man who had given Monroe the | whisky. He said that he was coming fthrough on the freight train from Tulare |and at a saloon in Selma he bought the whisky which proved the fatal drink to | Monroe. He disclaims any knowledge of the whisky containing poison. Hawkins is a laboring man, about 25 years of age. It appears that Monroe had been in the saloon carousing with others during the afternoon, and was in much the worst con- dition. At 3 o’clock the northbound freight train arrived, and spent three-quarters of an hour switching. Hawkins, who came on the train and claimed to be a bhrake. man, went over to the Biue Wing saloon. He had been drinking, and immediately joined in the carousal. He got in with Monroe, and the two had several drinks together. They were having a good time together for about half an hour when the trainman pulled out from his coat pocket a pint flask, apparently containing whisky. He grabbed Monroe’s head with his right hand and beld it back while with the other hand he placed the flask to Monroe’s mouth and poured the contents down his throat. Monroe was so stupid with drink that he made no resistance and drank the fluid down. Monroe a second later reeled against the bar and fell on the floor. The drunken crowd thought it great sport and had a long, loud laugh, thinking that Monroe had fallen from the effects of too much drink. But when they went to help him to his feet they found that he was in a se- rious condition. This sobered the crowd somewhat and emetics were poured down Monroe's throat. Nothing was of any avail and he died a few moments later. As soon as Hawkins had given Mon- roe the fatal drink he disappeared and rode out with the train, which left shortly afterward. Monroe's mouth and tongue were badly blistered, and it is thought the whisky in the flask contained carbolic acid. No motive orcause for the action can be ascribed other than a drunken freak. Monroe was 49 vears of age. Coroner Long has gone to Fowler, and will hold an inquest to-mor- TOW morning. WISE ON « HONEST" MONEY. The Collector Enlightens Portlanders on California’s Attitude. PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 20.—Hon. John H. Wise, San Francisco’s Collector of Cx toms, is here. Regarding politics in Cali- fornia he believes that they are in a healthy condition and that everything is pointing to Democratic victory at the next election. “The re-election of A. A. Watkins as chairman of the committee of 450, he said, “is regarded with great satisfaction by all the Democrats, and it is the hope that the committee will be reorganized in the interests of the people and that entire harmony will prevail. There will be no split in the party, and it will reflect in a high degree public sentiment. ‘‘So far as the financial question is con- cerned, California may be safely counted for ‘honest’ money. The free-silver heresy may fool some who do not understand the question, but the inteilizent people recog- nize that, while silver shoulid hold a place and be free as possible, it always will be subordinate to a gold basis. ‘‘The Chinese question is one of the per- plexities to be contended with, but_it is well in hand in San Francisco. While formerly there was an average of 500 or 1000 Chinese coming on each steamer, there are now not fifty. A good deal of trouble is had with these Chinese who claim to have been born in the United States. It is remarkable how many of this character have lately sprung up. = We have arranged a test this matter, sub- mitted on a decision by Judge Field given some years ago. Attorney-General Har- mon has consented to make this a test case, and we have selected a Chinese who it is admitted is a native born. Heisa cook, and on his return was denied land- ing, and, under the agreement made, the case is to be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States for final deter- mination.” CARPINTERIN'S WILD M THE ROAMING MANIAC AN ESCAPE FROM A MINNESOTA ASYLUM. BELIEVED TO BE THE PERSON WHO TERRORIZED OJal VALLEY CAMPERS. SANTA BARBARA, Cal, Oct. 20.—A wild man who has been living in the hills back of Carpinteria and causing a reign of terror among the inhabitants was driven to seek shelter- from the recent storm and was captured and brought here, where he was given a short sentence for vagrancy. The man talks wildly and disconnectedly, and states that he is an escaped inmate of the State insane asylum at Rochester, Minn,, where he was confined for three vears, baving sncceeded in getting away three months ago. A coat that he wears has the asylum stamp and bears out his story. He claims to be a resident of Fari- bault, Minn., and states that his two fathers, Dutton and Charles Moses, reside in that place. The authorities here have communicated with the Rochester Insane Asylum officials and the result of their in- quiry will be awaited with interest. Specnlation is.rife as to whether this is not the wild man of the Oiai Valley, who terrified campers in the Matilija this sum- mer by poking poles through tent sides at midnight and by other crazy capers. SUES A TACONMA EDITOR. Another Action for a Large Sum Brought Against Nelson Bennett of the Ledger. TACOMA, Wasn., Oct. 20.—A complaint has been filed in a suit brought by Robert ngate, receiver of the Merchants' Na- tional Bank, against Nelson Bennett to recover upon an agreement en- tered into by Bennett with the plaintiff on the 18th of February, 1894, by which Bennett agreed to make eight payments of $4500 each every three months, commencing May 1, 1894, and in additi $31,500 on or before June 1, 1895. Mr. W’ gate sued for $78,682 principal and interest and $3934 in addition for attorney’s fees. Colonel F. D. Heustis has aiso sued Ben- nett for $24,000. Mr. Bennett signed a con- fession of judgment acknowledging in- debtedness, and upon this judgment was rendered against him for these amounts. The printers on the Ledger, Bennett's paper, s.ruck, not having received any money for some time, but returned to work on a promise that they would be paid Saturday evening. SEAL CATCH OF THE SEASON. Canadian Vessels Report a Profitable Run in Bering Sea. VICTORIA, B. C., Oct. 20.—The pelagic sealers’ catch in Bering Sea this year has been by many thousands the largest on record, and sealing men are ata loss to understand how the Governor of Alaska came to report that the operations of British sealers have been a failure. Canadian vessels this year took 72,500 skins from all quarters, against 94,474 last year, but the decrease is attributed solely to the bad weather of the spring, when vessels operating on the British Columbia and Asiatic coasts alike found it impos- sible to lower their small boats for hunt- ing exc on a verv few days of the season. Forty-five Canadian vessels went into Bering Sea when the season opened in August, and their total catch there was 36,750 skins, against a total of 26,341 last vear, which then was the best on record. Owners are naturally well pleased with the result of Bering Sea operations, which saved the season from being one of financial disaster. —— 7 DRIED FRUIT SHIPMENTS. Big Consignments for the Eastern Mar. kets Going Out. SAN JOSE, CaL., Oct. 20.—The Santa Clara Fruit Exchange has been shipping East an average of nearly two carloads a day of dried fruit in boxes. “The market for prunes is reasonably active, with low prices ruling,” said Man- ager R. W. Hersey of the California Fruit Exchange yesterday, “‘and large quantities of fruit are going forward. From all indi- cations the goods will go into immediate consumption. The consumption should be largely increased by reason of the re- markably low prices for even the best goods.” e SWEET PEAS AND MARIGOLDS. Carnival Preparations at San Jose Still Progressing. SAN JOSE, CAL., Oct. 20.—At the meet- ing of the flower supply committee of the Carnival of Roses yesterday great encour- agement was reported by the members present. Of the twenty-five acres of sweet peas desired fifteen have been donated. During the week seeds will be given those desirous of planting. Professor C. 'W. Childs of the Normal gchool reported that eight acres had been cleared for the cultivation of sweet peas and marigolds. —— Will Play * Saratoga.” SAN JOSE, CaL., Oct. 20.—The Santa Clara County Floral Society will present the play “‘Saratoga’ at the Auditorium on Friday evening, November 15, and Satur- day aiternoon, November 16, for the ben- efit of the fund for the Carnival of Roses. A PORTLAND AFFRAY, PRETTY ETTA LORD HORSE- WHIPPED BY MRS, LEADY, BEATEN ON A STREET. THE LASH APPLIED WHILE SHE WAS WITH HER ASSAIL- ANT’S HUSBAND. SEQUEL OF A DIVORCE CASE Miss LORD ACCUSED OF ALIEN- ATING THE AFFECTIONS OF LEeAaDY. PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 20.—Mrs. Grace E. Leady, wife of a prominent East Port- land restauranteur, last night horse- whipped Miss Etta Lord, her husband’s cashier. In explanation the wife alleges that her husband devoted more attention to Miss Lord than to her. Mrs. Leady, accompanied by her little son, went to San Francisco last May, and has since been living there with relatives. Some time ago Leady instituted a suit for a divorce from his wife on the ground of desertion. Mrs. Leady returned here a few days ago, and last night she armed herself with a whip and walked down Grand avenue to the restanrant, arriving there just as Mr, Leady and Miss Lord emerged from the eating-house to get on & streetcar. Mrs. Leady lost no time in making use of her whip, which she plied vigorously on the nead, face and back of the pretty young woman. Miss Lord made her es- cape after she had received six or seven stinging blows. The Leadys have been in very good standing on the east side, and this scan. dalous affair is causine endless gossip. The hearing of the divorce case some time during the week promises unsavory de- velopments. e i Indian School Buildings Burned. PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 20.— Word reacked here early this morning of the burning yesterday of the buildings at the Sinemasho Indian school, on the Warm sYrmgs Indian agency, sixty miles from The Dalles. The fire rted in the wash- house. The loss is estimated at $6000. So far no details have been received, but it is_reasonably certain that the buildings will be reconstructed at the earliest prac- ticable moment. Samuel E. Stanley Insolvent.
