Chinamen Quarrel Qver the Venezuelan Dispute, and Two May Go to Their Reward. CHICO, CaL., Dec. 21.—Ung Yuen and Ah Gwang quarreled last night over the respective merits of Great Britain’s and America’s claims in the Venezuelan dis- pute, and Gwang, who championed Salis- bury’s attitude, will probably die. An Dew, who attempted to act as mediator—a privilege accorded by his interpretation of international law—was stabbed and may die also. The dispute arose in Fat Gee's store. Ung Ynenand Ah Gwaug had been talking over the prospects of war until a late hour, The argument became heated, and sud- denly Yuen jumped up, grabbed a hatchet and commenced chopping away atGwang. The first blow struck Gwang on the left cheek, the cut extending through the orifice of the ear and to the bone. The second blow was paralle! to the collar bone, cutting through the skin and super- ficial tissues. A third blow struck the left forearm, cutting and bruising it badly. Gwang’s cries attracted Ah Dew, who ran in and grappled with Yuen, who dropped the hatchet and picked up a knife. In thescuffle Dew was stabbed in the abdomen, and again in the side, the latter wound ranging down In try- ing to take the kuife from Yucn, Dew also is right thumb badly cut. ——— s ROMANCE. PENDLETO.

[From a photograph.] | century mark, farithfully watching at the | bedside of a daughter dying of the infirmi- ties of age at the age of 75 years, is a pa- thetic picture presented in a little tene- ment house in a suburb oi Stockton. Mrs. Lucy Arthur, the mother of the dy- | ing woman referred to, will, 1f she lives until the 4th day of January next, have reached the age of 108 years, and is still apparently in good health. When the weather is permissible she enjoys herself walking about the'yard and helping with the household duties, but now that her daughter is lying very low the mother | keeps almost constant watch at her bed- side, waiting upon the sick weman with the care and thoughtfulness that a person of fewer years might well imitate. Mrs. Lucy Arthur was born in slavery in Knox County, Kentucky, being the property of Ambrose Arthur,from whom she obtained her name and who was a large planter of that section of Kentucky. She secured her freedom through a clause in Mr, Arthur's will, which provided that all his slaves who had, at the time of his demise, reached the age of 21 years should be freed frgm bondage, and the younger ones given fheir freedom 2s they attained that age. This old colored woman is mother of seventeen children, but three of whom are now living. She came to Cali- fornia about fifteen years ago and has since resided with ber brotherin Stock- ton. As yet her eyesight has not failed appreciably, she being able to go about and even sew without the aid of glasses. In fact the only time she makes any use of spectacles whatever is in threadinga needle, and when that is done she lays them away again. Mrs. Arthur also en- joys the distinction of being a great-great- grandmother. FENTS AT SN JOSE Governor Budd Asked to Revoke the Appointment of a Notary Public. Justice of the Peace Dwyer Cited to Appear in Court to Answer Frost’s Charges. SAN JOSE, CaL., Dec. 21.—A petition has been forwarded to Governor Budd by D. H. Bryant of this city, asking for the revocation of the appointment of William G. Griffith of this city as a notary public. Attached to the petition are several affi- davits by the petitioner alleging that on the 25th of April, 1895, Griffith, as notary publie, took the acknowledgmentof Emma M. Schutt to a satisfaction of a $500 mort- gage of Jobn R. Griffith, while the latter held the title of the land mortgaged; that the satisfaction of the mortgage by Griffith as notary public was done with the knowledge that the mortgage had never been satisfied. The petition further re- cites the belief that W. G. Griffith was the real owner of the land mortgaged, and that he secured the execution of the satisfac- tion of the mortgage. after the interest of Emma M. Schutt had been assigned for the purpose of effecting the sufe of the property mortgaged. Lime Barrels in Litigation. SAN JOSE, CAL., Dec. 21.—J. W.

Indications of an Abundance of the Valuable Fluid Have Been Found. SANTA BARBARA, Car., Dec. 21.—The Montecito Oil and Land Company has ac- quired 3200 acres of land in the foothills near Carpenteria, and will at once com- mence boring for oil. This company is understood to be acting under the direc- tion of Charles Canfield, an experienced oil prospector, who is satisfied that the general formation of these hills promises an abundant supply of oil of a much purer and lighter quality than that so easliy tapped throughout the Summerland district, 1t is interesting to observe that this com- pany is preparing to risk a large invest- ment in a district which has for years been prospected at.an expense of thou- sands of dollars by a company of local capitalists, which retired from its losing enterprise and disbanded a twelvemonth or more ago. At one point, at the mouth of a mountain guich three or four miles from Carpenteria, there existed and still exists surface indications of oil, a little stream which emerges from the moun- tains at this point carrying a coating of petroleum on its surface. A very super- ficial development made some nine years ago resulted 1n a flow of oil estimated at 4000 barrels, aithough residents of the vicinity tell queer stories of oif that was carted down the mountainside and carted up again. However this may be a con- siderable quantity of oil of excellent qual- ity was certainly secured. . Instead of pursuing work in this local- ity, however, the company abandoned the gulch with ofl still in sight and proceeded to tunnel and sink high up_on the moun- tain sides in a most unpromising location, and with the result that a large amount of capital was wasted in this unproductive trifling with profit to nobod{_ but the superintendent and laborers. There is no question but that oil exists in these hills and that intelligent management may de- velop great wealth for the new company. Excellent roads are already built, and there is expensive machinery and an quantity of derrick timber on the ground.

NEED ELECTRIC POWER. Awaiting the Completion of the Big Merced Falls Plant. T0O BE A GREAT GOLD CAMP. Prospects Only Partly Developed Give Splendid Evidence of Great Wealth. HORNITOS, CaL., Dec. 21.—High-priced fuel has always been the chief obstacle to successful quartz mining around Hornitos. There are dozens of fine prospects in this district and owners are now waiting anx- iously for the completion of the electric- power plant at the Merced Falls, six miles distant. When that is completed the country in every direction will be coverea with a network of wire conveying cheap power into every hole and corner of it. Going toward Tndian Guleh, in a south- erly direction, the Duncan mine 1s reached in about one mile. The Duncan mine isa rich little pocket-mine, the property of Mme. Merck of Hornitos. There isa tun- nel in ahout 100 feet and no attempt ap- pears to have been made to work the mine in a systematic way. There has been already taken out in pockets by men work- ing on shares with the owner from $60,000 to $70,000. 2 The usual method of operation seems to be that some party of miners'comes along and Mme. Merck ‘grub-stakes’” them. They dig in-till they make a stake. Then follows a period of joyous hilarity, while the mine is left to take care of itself. At the conclusion of the festivities the grub- staking process has again to be resorted to and the miners set to work to negotiate another draft from their bank in the Dun- can tunnel. Two miles from Hornitos, and just at the back of Quartz Mountain on another little hill showing quartz croppings inall directions, is the Dorse mine. The Dorse is an old mine that has never been worked to any great extent. Years ago it was fa- vorably reported upon by Hank Smith, the Virginia City expert. It is now being opened up by Charles E. Stuart and a party of Ohio capitalists. Mr. Stuart has a shaft down about 150 feet at an angle of 60 degrees. In the bottom of the shaft the ledge is 13 feet in thickness. He is sink- ing the shaft steadily and preparing for extensive development. There is a good engine and hoisting plant, pump, Burleigh drill and the usual appliances. The work is carried on in a systematic and efficient manner, without waste. The rock brought up appears to be much stratified. Assays are constanily being made, the average from which, so far, is $13 95 per ton. All the quartz car- ries large quantities of sulphurets. Thé Dorse is a patented mine, It formerly be- longed to two families named Brooks. It was divided into twenty shares, and no arrangements could be arrived at to work it. Mr. Stuart has been at work about two months, and the Dorse is likely to rank as one of the important mines of the district, Mr. Stuart and his partners having plenty of capital to thoroughly develop the prop- erty. Adjoining the Dorse mine and Quartz Mountain is a claim owned by Frank Thorne of the Horseshoe mine. Assess- ment work is now beingdone on it. This Thorne claim is valuable to either the Dorse or Quartz Mountain mine. Three-gharters of a mile distant are the Reliance Mining, Reduction and Chlorina- tion Company of S8an Jose. The officers and stockholders are all Santa Clara County men. W. H. French is the president, S. C. Criss secretary and Swet H. Kaler, E. Smith and W.H. Ham, directors. The capital is $100,000, in shares of $1 each. The works were completed last July. The principal building is 100x44 feet. The roasting furnance is eighty feet long. There are eight tanks with a capacity of four tons each. The plant is equal to about six tons in twenty-four hours and employs seven men. E. McGrath is a director and manager of tke works. He says the average cost of treatment is about $8 per ton. The company has no mines as yet of its own, but what rock they have handled for others has gone from $40 to $200 per ton. Indian Gulch is about six miles from Hornitos. There is little doing there at present in mining. There are plenty of valuable claims, but until electricity is brought on the ground the expense of working will prohibit operations by the present owners. F. T. Houghton has a mine one-half mile north of Indian Gulch, There is on the claim a 200-foot shaft, which recently caved in. At the 150-foot level Mr. Houghton started to drift on rock that went $15 per ton on an average as & milling proposition. The quartz from this mine is very highly sulphureted. There is an engine and boiler at the Houghton mine, and the irons for a ten- stamp battery are on the ground. The No. 5 mine is four miles northeast of Hornitos and one mile east of the No. 9. It is owned by Morrison & Farries. There isatunnelin about 150 feet and a shaft down sixty feet, also several smaller shafts. The No. 5 is a little hill, almost all quartz. The véin in the shaft runs from six to eight feet and carries about $6 perton in free golil, besides a large body of sul- phurets. Stockton & Buffum have a ranch of about 2500 acres in extent four and a half miles from Hornitos. On this ranch are several excellent prospects. From one pocket mine over $70,000 has been taken. On the Blue Lead mine the vein is two to five feet and carries little or no gold, ex- cept in pockets of exceptional richness. Stockton & Buffum are, however, more ranchers than miners. They breed the finest of poultry and are prize-takers in almost every class at the shows. About ten acres 1n olives show what can be done in the foothills without irrigation. The five-year-old trees are this year covered with fruit and equal to any olives in the State. Miss Rose McCann, formerly of Johns- town, Pa., is the owner of the Wilson ranch of 480 acres, patented land, one mile east of Hornitos. The whole of this land is auriferous and excellent prospects have been opened up in about twenty different places. Four shafts are down 100, 70, 60 and 60 feet respectively, and there ten or twelve tunnels varying from 20 to 50 feet. Joseph Weringer of Bakersfield is working the Wilson ranch with Miss McCann, who has, however, sufficient of the new woman in her to take an active supervision of her own interests, Twelve men are employed on the Wilson ranch, whiclr is awaiting the advent of electrical power for future development. There is at present a 2-stamp mill of 800-pound stamys for pros- pecting purposes. This mill is operated by a 12-horsepower gasolene engine. It can crush about eight tons in twenty-four hours, and what rock hasbeen put through has averaged $14 perton. A concentrator has recently been added. All the quartz on the Wilson ranch is rich in sulpburets. ! to begin on the i LIFE'S LESSON Teaches You and Teaches All That istakes Are Made and Errors Must Be Corrected.

Some little development work has been done, and recently three tons of picked ore crushed in an arastra yielded over nine ounces of gold. Madame Merek is a very old resident here and is waiting to sell out her mining interests to younger operators. The Green Valley mine has two pat- ented claims, two miles from Merced Falis and about three miles from Hornitos. J. C. Cook is the owner. There are two tun- nels, 400 and 135 feet, respectively. Each crosscuts the vein, There are four shafts, 100, 60, 50 and 50 feet, respectively. There is 500 tons of good milling rock on the dump, that will go from $6 to $10 in free gold and is very rich in sulphurets. The Enterprise mine, R. W. Bareroft owner, is four and a half miles from Hor- nitos, on the Bear Valley road. The shaft is down 115 feet. There is an eight-stamp mill, boiler and engines, steam pumps, hoisting gear, two concentrators and every- thing necessary for a complete equipment. The Enterprise has been shut down owing to Mr. Barcroft having been exclusively engaged upon his other interests, since last April. Mr. Barcroft is one of the oldest and respected citizens of Hornitos, but is not a practical miner and drifted into possession of the Enterprise almost against his own will. Since he has owned it he has taken out and crushed considera- ble rock, the average of which has been $11 50 per ton. The Enterprise consists of two full elaims and isa good property in fair running order. It is electric power from tne Merced River only that will put life into the Hornitos district. When that comes there is no reason why this end of Mariposa should not outdo the Cripple Creek gold field in Colorado. Cripple Creek, or Pisgah Park as it was known in 1890 has an area of less than twenty-five square miles. At that time it was a ranch employing a few men at the different stock camvs. the world knows it as a great gold pro- ducer. This end of Mariposa has an auri- ferous area four times as large as Cripple Creek and presenting even greater attrac- tions for scientific, economical and suc- cessful gold-mining. A network of wires all over this section conveying cheap power from the Merced River will make Hornitos a great gold camp. FIGHTING NEAR MORENC!
