HEAVY BUYING ORDERS. Over Fifty Brokers Shouting * Daily On the Denver Ex- change. MANY NEW COMPANIES LISTED. Hundreds of Corporations Now Operat- ing in the Cripple Creek District. DENVER, Coro., Nov. 27.—Two weeks ago speculators in the mining stocks of Cripple Creek companies were confined to Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek. The brokers in the former city had for some time been advertising the gold stocks of the camp thronghout the country, but sales were mainly confined to the people of EL Paso Count, The Denver Mining Ixchange was dragging along with litile life. To-day the change is marked. Over fifty brokers are now shouting about the pit at midday, ereat crowds of spectators wit- nessing the call of stocks, and the entire State has become greatly aronsed over the subject of stock speculations. The Real Estate Exchange will call stocks next week. Down in Colorado Springs three exchanges are doing business; one was started in Pueblo on Monday; one exists in Cripple Creek, and one be opened in a few days in Victor. Brokers of East- ern cities are seeking to be piaced in tele- graphic communication with the pple Creek quotations by daily wire reports, and inquiries from all over the country indi- cate that a sudden interest in Colorado gold mines has been awakened. “Nearly all of the trading to-day was done in Cripple Creek stocks. They may be placed generally in three classes—com- panies paying dividends or shipping ore, companies energetically developing mines in favorable locations, and companies formed within the past few weeks mainly to sell stock based upoa unpatented and undeveloped mining claims. The buying orders for the cheap stocks are heavy; trading in stocks of prospective value was good, and but little high-priced stocks could be purchased. Over 1,500,000 shares were sold in the six exchanges to-day. Of the high-priced stocks [sabella was most in demand, though but little was offered at an advance of 5 cents over yes- terday’s quowations. About seventy-five different stocks are now called on the ex- change, and many companies are asking to be listed. New companies are incorpo- rating daily, and there are now over 600 companies incorporated to operate in the Cripple Creek district. HAD A TERRIBLE VOYAGE Arrival of the Steamship Tacoma Badly Dismantled at Victoria. Deckhouse, Stores, Hospital and Life. boats Swept Away by Heavy Seas. VICTORIA, B. C., Nov. 27.—The North Pacific steamship Tacoma arrived this morning after a terrible passage. She sighted the smoke of the steamship Victo- ria on the way, but saw nothing of the missing Strathnevis. Purser Campbeil gives the following account of the trip of the Tacoma: “We left Yokohaina on November 10 at 11:30 o’clock A. M. Had fair weather until noon of Thursday, the14th, when a strong gale was encountered at 6p. M. It was found necessary to heave the ship to and slow the engines. Atmidnight the weather slightly improved, only to become worse again on the morning of the 15th, and at noon we were in a regular hurricane, but so far had received very little damage, although the sea was something frightful tolook at. ‘At 2 p. M. the lowest reading of the ba- rometer was obtained (28.43), and it was not until 5:15 p. . that much damage was done, when a heavy sea struck the vessel, sweeping the forward deckhouse, including all the stores therein, and port gangway rails over the side. The aspect then be- came very serious. At 7 p. M.a tremen- dous sea took away after No. 50 lifeboat. “The sea by that time was something terrible, and very few of those on board had ever experienced its like. At 3 p. M. another sea went completely over the ship, carrying away three lifeboats and smashing in the salgon skylights, down which the water poured in tons. At 11:30 P. M. the steering engine and gear became fouled with wreckage, when it became evi- dent to those in charge, the ship then be- ing out of command, that our last prop had faillen. The engines were immedi- ately stopped, and after some fearful rolls the ship fell off into a trough of the sea. “Immense quantities of oil were poured through all the wastepipes on the port side, doing no end of good, and the ship, although rolling badly, received no fur- ther damage. From that time the gale gradually decreased, and at 10:30 A. ». the next day the ship was again got under command and run full speed before the sea. “The gale remained with us until Sun- day, the 17th, and from that to the 180th meridian, which was crossed on the 19th at1:25 r. ., nothing unusual occurred. We had moderate winds and cloudy weather to port, which was reached safely on the 27th. The behavior of every one .on board during the gale was splendid and the discipline was never lost. On the 15th the vessel made only sixty-seven miles and on the 16th she made only seventeen miles.” ——— CLOVERDALE PROSPECTS. New Fair Association Organized and Big Fruit Anticipation. CLOVERDALE, CaL, Nov. 27.—The Cloverdale Citrus Fair Association effected a permanent organization last night. It will bencorporated underthe laws of the State of California, with a capital stock of §5000. The following directors and officers were clected: Jobn Field, president; W. T. Brush, vice-president; George B. Baer, l secretary; Bank of Cloverdale, treasurer; M. Menihan, Fred W. Brush, C. E. Hum- bert, directors. y! Nearly an acre of land within thg city limits has been purchased, on w!uclx ‘8 Jarge pavillion will be erected in time for the next citrus fair. The grounds sur- rounding the pavilion will be planted with oranges, magnolias, palms and other semi- tthicnl trees. A large fountain will also add beauty to the surroundings. i The citrus prospects look very bright and promising in this vicinity. Orange and lemon trees are loaded down, prom- ising more than a double crop over last year, and the fruit is of superior size. The crop will be ripe two weeks earlier than last year. A large acreage will be set out in oranges snd lemons next year. The Cloverdale Orange Company, W. T. Brush and Dr. A. N. Coomes, are preparing o set out about ten acres each, and many others will plant on a smaller scale. The present rain will do much good to the stock ranges, and will set the plows going on hundreds of acres of grain land. So naturally the farmers are jubilant. The cement sidewalks in town are being put down with great rapidity, nearly four blocks in the business portien being laid with the artificial stone. e g HIGHBINDERS AT FRESNO. Two Shots Fired at a Chinaman Which Mrissed the Mark. FRESNO, Cir., Nov. 27.—Trouble seems to be brewing among the local Chinese. This morning at 4 o’clock one highbinder fired two shots at another, but both bullets went wide of their mark. There are several strange Chinamen, supposed to be professional highbinders, in the city, and merchants in Chinatown have taken extra precantion to keep watch- men in their quarters day and night. The troubles seem to be the outgrowth of diffi- culties between See Yup and Sam Yup companies in San Francisco. MILL VALLEY SENSATICN. Dispute Over Possession of Prop- erty Between Two Marin County Men. Dr. Liford’s Fence-Building Stopped by Peter Gardner, Who Pulls Up the Posts. MILL VALLEY, Car., Nov. 27.—This town is duly excited and enjoying a sen- sation over a dispute between two of Marin County’s oldest citizens concerning the ownership of a certain piece 0f marsh land near this place. Casper Gardner, son of Peter Gardner, bought a strip of land from the Tamalpais Land and Water Company bordering on the marsh just below Millwood. The land was almost worthless and there was con- siderable speculation at the time of the purchase as to what use Gardner intended to put it to. After he had acquired the property from the company he built a small cabin and settled on the place. The property was not fenced in and when he built the house no one imagined that it was not on the property he had purchased. 0ld Peter Gardner knows every inch of land in the southern part of Marin County, and there is a strip of good property, con- sisting of about six acres, that has never appeared on the maps in_the name of any person, and consequently is considered Government land. It was for the purpose of squatting on this property that Gardner built the cabin, woich is half on his pur- chased property and half on the unclaimed six acres. Dr. Liford, the guardian of the Defen- bach heirs, who own the great tract of land extending between Mill Valley and Belvedere, heard of Gardner squattine on the property and sént nine men to build a fence around the land, claiming that it was included in the old Spanish grant by which the Defenbachs acquired possession of the vast tract in the southern part of Marin. Peter Gardner got wind of Liford’s scheme to erect a fence, and was on hand to meet the men when they put in an ap- pearance to commence work. The men, all of whom were Italian, were under Dr. Liford, who drove over to boss the under- taking. The men were instructed to go ahead with the work, and they commenced to dig the postholes. All this time Peter Gardner stood by and watched them work, but as quickly as they placed one post in position he would tear it up. Things were getting exciting, and Liford ordered his men to work faster, but Gardner was equal to the occasion and managed to pull up the posts as rapidly as they could put them down. Liford called to the men to make Gardner stop interfer: ing, but Gardner refused to stop. No vio- lence was resorted to. The men worked faster and were getting the posts in posi- tion more rapidly than Gardner could bring them down, so he rushed into the cabin and obtained a hatcnet and started to chop the posts down. This was too much for Liford, and he withdrew the men, and the battle was transferred to the Justice’s court in Mill Valiey. Dr. Liford came rushing into the valley at breakneck speed, and demanded a warrant from Justice Fottrell for the ar- rest of Peter Gardner for malicious mis- chief; but the Justice, after hearing the facts of the case, refused to issue a warrant for Gardner’s arrest, and Dr. Liford took his men and went his way. About ten minutes after Liford had gone Peter Gardner drove up and wanted war- rants issued for the arrest of Dr. Liford and the twelve Ttalians who had unsuc- cessfully attempted to erect the fence. Gardner was also refused the warrants, and the batile stands about even. Laford says he will attempt to gain pos- session for the Defenbach heirs by bring- ing suit in the Superior Court to oust the Gardners, but Peter has been to law about land in Southern Marin many times before and thinks that he will not be compelled to give u{; the property. He hasnailed up notices all over the property warning peo- ple to keep off, and he occupies the cottage night and day for fear Liford will attempt to resort to some other method to gain the property. el Buried at Santa Barbara. SANTA BARBARA, Can., Nov. 27— To-day the funeral of the late Thomas Bloodgood Dibblee was held at Trinity Church, the Rev. W. H. Ramsay officiat- ing. Anappropriate musiéal programme was rendered.

FORTY-FIVE MILLIONS. Heavy Capitalization and Some Sixty Mills Interested in the Scheme. SAN FRANCISCO HEADQUARTERS. Central Office to Be Located Here to Control. the Buying and Selling. VANCOUVER, B. C., Nov. 27.—Every mill in British Columbia will join the big Pacific Coast lumber trust, which is about to materialize after a year’s arduous toil. D. H. Bibb and E. J. Holt of San Fran- cisco, president and secretary of the big combine, have been in Vancouver for some time. Their mission was successful. They in- duced every lumber manufacturer to join them. They would not talk, but in- directly 1t was ascertained that they esti- mate that the capital involved wiil be over $45,000,000 and will include fifty or sixty | mills (every one on the coast) and all the retailers. The details of the scheme, while very elaborate, are perfected tosuch an | extent that tbere is no possible chance of a disagreement. The idea that tne scheme is to be con- summated has acted like a hypnotic sug- gestion ¢n the lumber trade here, and the pulse of the timber trade, which was weak and thready, has grown stronger, while a hopeful spirit prevails. It being apparent that there was no money in lumber on the coast, that im- mense capital was being worked to no ad- vantage, and that the cause of this was un- reasonable competition, a cure was looked for 1n better prices for lumber, but it was seen that an increase in the demand did not bring better prices, and the one rem- edy was to get all the mill-owners to agree to sell only at an advance. Men of great executive ability were ap- proached with the idea of arranging a scheme by which all the mill-owners and retailers on the coast could form them- selves into a co-operative society for their mutual benefit. The problem was pro- nounced impracticable by several of those who attempted to solve it, but a scheme has been finaily suggested thatsatisfies the promoters that'the idea is not only feas- ible, but that once the intricate machinery is set in motion it will move easily and with dispatch. The combine will be known as the Cen- tral Lumber Company, with headquarters at San Francisco, and every stick of tim- ber shipped will be by order of the central office. The capacity of every mill on the Pacific Coast has been obtained, and ac- cording to that capacity they will receive so much stock. Each mill is to supply lumber at the will of the central office at a price agreed upon with all mills at cost, snipping direct. Three times each month a aividend will be declared, according to the stock held by each company, and this dividend will be paid even if the mill receiving it has not been ordered to ship a stick of timber. The supply and demand will be nicely ad- justed through the central office. Should a retailer start up outside the combine, he has no place to buy his lum- ber. Should a wholesaler start up out- side the combine, he has no place on the coast he can sell his lumber. The trans-Pacific and Eastern trade will not be considered this year, but it is thought that Chile and Australia, when they see that they are not getting the con- sideration and attention that they did be- fore the establishment of the Pacific Coast combine, they will be willing to pay for more consideration at the hands of the mill-owners. The mills here are being crowded with offers by importers anxious to lay in a big supply of lumber before the prices climb upward. EVA ROSE BARRON AGAIN.

SAN JOSE, CaL., Nov. 27.—The Citizens’ ‘Water Company, which recently acquired possession of a source of water supply in the vicinity of Covote station, twelve miles south of this city, to-day began suit in the Superior Court to have a strip of land belonging to Edward M. Piercy in Rancho Laguna Seca condemned for their waterway. In the complaint it is set forth thata right of way has been secured overthe lands in the vicinity, and that in order to carry out the objects of the corporation it is necessary to construct a water ditch over the land in question.

City Attorney Hardy in his opinion says that persons owning property fronting on a public - street have the right to pass over the sidewalk in front of such premises both on foot and in vehicles of every character in the prosecu- tion of their business. The sidewalk, he says, is a_part of the street, the title to which is held by the city in trust for the qnb!ic use. Any injury done to the sidewalk by the traffic over it may be compelled by the city to be re- paired at the expense of the abutting prop- erty. Although the sidewalk on the south side of the Postoffice premises was con- structed and paid for by the Government, this fact, it is held, does not give Govern- ment officials any rights in or over the ijdewnlk not enjoyed by the general pub- ic. i ACQUAINTED WITH John Green, a San Jose Ex-Convict.
