ONE SURVIVOR ESCAPED He Reached Circle City and Told His Story to the Crew of the Bertha. DISGRUNTLED MINERS RETURN They Say the Alaskan Gold Fields Are a Failure—Trouble at Sunset City. The rush from Alaska still continues. By every steamer and sailing vessel that leaves Cooks Inlet, Turnagain Arm or St. Nicholas hundreds of the dupes who left here three months ago are returning, sad- der but wiser men. In very few instances has there been actual suffering, as every- body went equipped for at least a six months’ siege. In consequence provisions sold for less than they cost in San Fran- cisco, because everybody who had a stock onhand was anxious to sell out and reach home as quickly as possible. Among the arrivals from the exploited gold fields Saturday was the Alaska Com- mercial Company’s steamer Bertha, the overdue bark Theobald and the steamer Umatilla. The latter is from Puget Sound ports only, but nevertheless she brought down a number of disgruntled miners who managed to reach Seattle by sailing vessels. The brig Blakeley was five weeks in getting to Tacoma and there she was sold to pay the wages of her crew. Among the Blakeley’s passengers was J. J. Camp- bell, the popular purser of the Umatilla. He made a trip to the so-called mines, but was only too glad to get back on board his old berth. . The bark Theobald was classed as over- due, but when Captain Swan got in he at at once reported that he was only twenty days out. He waited a fortnight for some miners who wanted to come home, but as they could not raise the money and had plenty of J)rovixion: he had finally to up anchor and leave. *“We made a quick run from San Fran- cisco to Coal Harbor,” said Captain Swan. ‘At that point there is the finest coalbed in Alaska and we landed about thirty miners to work it. On our return they had mined out 800 tons of coal and we brought it down. Judging by the sample we have in the hold of the Theo- bald and judging from what I saw of the placer mines, the Alaska coal mines will pay 50 per cent better than its gold mines. “From Coal Harbor we went to Ladd station and there the miners were in a state of insurrection. They said they had been beguiled away from home and it would bave been a sorry hour for the men who started the rush had they putinan appearance while we were there. Over 200 miners were camped at that point and not one of them had earned his bread and butter. *‘After leaving Ladd station I took the bark to Fire Island and chartered the steamer Sealight to tow us to Sunrise City. At that point everything was rush- ing. Hammers, planes, saws and chisels were going from morning to night. Sa- loons, butcher-shops, grocery -stores, gambling-dens and a brewery sprang up as if by magic. Everypbody had a few dollars, but as there was nothing coming in it was only a question of a few days when all would be broke. I came to the conclusion that the Alaska gold fields are a good place to keep away from. My men thought differently, however, and in con- sequence 1 had to work the Theobald back to Coal Bay with only four men. There we took on a load of coal and before I was ready to sail there were enough sailors to man a warship begging a passage. “‘The placer mining in Alaska is a com- plete failure. It is just possible dur- ing this month that men who have money and facilities behind them may locate some rich quartz mines, but placer mining will never pay. The Boston Gold Mining Company, in which a number of Oakland people are interested, is buildinga diteh from Anchor Pomnt River to the Bluff. They have sixty men at work, and when a flow of water is procured they will start washing out the Bluff sand.” The venture may pay, but in any event it has given work to over half a hundred men who were glad of the chance of bandling a pick and shovel in order to keep warm.”” The Bertha brought down over a hun- dred miners. Among them was one or two who had been years in Alaska and these had considerable money with them. The vessel’s cargo consists of 1507 seal skins, 34 bear skins, 170 otter skins, 1585 fox skins, 27 packages curios, 11 boxes of amalgam and some whalebone. The rev- enue cutter Bear was spoken at St. Michaels on July 23 and Captain Tuttle reported that he could not get through to the relief stations on account of the ice. The spring catch of the wessels whicn wintered at Herschell [sland was given as two whales, Omar Maris, special correspondent of the Chicago Record, was one of the pas- sengers on the Bertha. Heisat the Grand. He tells a story of dissati: tion among the whalers that resulted in bloodshed. He got the information from a deserter, who reached Circle City after being three months on his journey from Herschel Island, the winter quarters of whaling vezsels. On January 19, 1896, seven men de- serted. Five, owing to the frozen con- dition of two, weretaken back to the ves- sels. The two other men kept on. One reached Circle City after traveling for seventy-two days with a party of Indians he fell in with. The other made for the post on the Yukon and has not been re- ported on. On March 16 a party of twelve deserted the ships at anchor. They, too, went to the Lawrence River as did the others. On the 19th they were overhauled by ship’s officers. Shots were exchanged, but no one was wounded. The officers then apparently desisted. On the 22d, however, they came up again, eome 120 miles further on, and a fight ensued. One deserter was killed, one wounded and six were captured. One officer was killed. Five deserters got away safely. These returned later to the spot and found a body, sup; to be that of Fitzgerald of the Jcannette, but the features were disfigured. Later one of the five, John Burke of S8an Francisco, and of the Belooga, was frozen to deati. The men deserted because of general dissatis- faction. Many of the vessels now off Herschell Island have been there three years and if the ice has not broken up they will be there another twelve months. "This will probably be their fate, because if the Bear could not reach Point Barrow last July there is no chance of the whalers getting out lateron. Hit With a Brick. Several young men went into the saloon of P. Pola, Pacific and Montgomery streets, early yesterday morning and raised a disturbance. One of them, known as the *Kid,” threw a brick at Pola, which struck him on the forehead, inflicting a long, deep wound.. Pola was taken to the’ Receiving Hospital, and Dr. Fitzgibbon stitched and dressed the wound. The police are hunting for the “Kid.” THE HIBERNIA BANK. The Bank Commission Files a Report in Answer to a Complaint Against That Institution. The following report anent the Hibernia Bank has been issued by the Bank Com- missioners: I As to the charge that the bank donated $50,000 to the Valley road, the bank claims the right to make such an investment out of its reserve fund by virtue of the statute of this State under which it is incorporated—act passed 1862, and amended 1864. Said dona- tion by the bank was a legitimate business precaution mace for the purpose of strength- ening its mortgaged interests, and for the ben- efit of the depositors. 1L In reply to the charge that the bank has exceeded the amount set by law to be invested in the lot and premises in which it transacts its business, the bank declares said amount was invested under and by virtue of an act of the Legislature of this State approved March 5, 1889, which act removed entirely the lim- itation that had previously existed as to the value of the lot and building in which a cor- poration might transact its business. 1L As to the charge that the bank has exceeded the amount set by law that it may loan on real estate (namely, 60 per cent of the market value), the corporation denies that it is guilty of such violation. Of the two loans referred t0,in the Heyman mortgage the bank granted a loan of $20, on & valuation of $42,000, and part of the security has since been sold on a basis of more than $50,000; in the Code mortgage of $25,000 the loan was grantedon a veluation made at tne time of loan of $45,000, and for which lot owner subsequently refused 0,000. Iv. The charge that excessive salaries and fees are paid the directors is not sustained; said fees and salaries are no more than those usu- ally allowed in finsncial institutions where the directors and officers hold positions of such great trust and magnitude. V. The balance of the charge seeming to be only the result of personal grievances on the part of those complaining, and in part treat- ing of matter not in the jurisdiction of the commission, does not come within the prov- ince of the commission. The commission will 8dd that, in their opin- ion, the affairs of the Hibernia Savings and Loan Society are conducted in an honest, businesslike manner, and its finances regu- I‘:ted by an economic and praiseworthy sys- m. The commission also finds that, in their opin- ion, all the charges made in said complaint against the Hibernia Savings and Loan So- clety are entirely untounded H. W. MAGEE, J. B.

Having Returned From a Business Trip He Is Ready to Appear B:fore the Grand Jury if Wantea. P. B. Cornwall, president of the Electric Light Company, who is wanted to give testimony before the Grand Jury in the matter of the seven Supervisors who are under a cloud, returned to this City from his northern trip yesterday. ‘When seen at his home, corner of Page and Buchanan streets, last evening mMr. Cornwall said: ‘ “I have just returned from a long jour- ney and am quite fatigued. As to being wanted as a witness before the Grand Jury, my first knowledge of that was when I was in Whatcom a newspaper cor- respondent called upon me and informed me that a subpena had been issued for me, *I told him that I had no knowledge of the matter, but that as soon as I had transacted my business I would return to San Francisco and be ready to answer any lawiful summons. *I have returned, and if any Grand Jary or court needs my presence I shall answer any lawful summons. For what purpose I may be called before the Grand Jury I do not know, and if I did I could not tell you nor any one else what my testimouy would be. That is for the grand jurors. “I had no knowledge when I left here that I would be needed asa witness, and did not leave to avoid the service of a sub- pena. It has been my habit for a number of years to make six tripsa year to the State of Washington on business which requires my attention, and the trip I made was one of these.” ‘When informed that Mr. Summerhayes had stated that Mr. Cornwall could tell considerable about street-lichting, Mr, Cornwall smiled and said: ‘“‘He did, did he? Well, that reminds me of the story of the monkey and the parrot. Afrer an encounter the parrot returned to his perch and, discovering that he had not a feather left, remarked mournfully: ‘I fuesu I've talked too much’; butseriously, fIam wanted as a witness I am ready to answer to any lawful summons that may be served on me.” HE WILL PLEAD GUILTY. Neagle Will Protect the Southern Pacific ¥From Uunpleasant Inquiries. Dave Neagle, the Southern Pacific gun man from Arizona, will protect the South- ern Pacific Company by pleading guilty to that assault on A. 1. Collins. He will pay over into the policecourt next Wednesday the comparatively small fine the court will impose, and by doing so will draw a heayy four-ply curtain between the Southern Pacific Company and the public. It is known that this will be the course of the Collins case, which would be so fruitful of interest and information if it ever came to trial on its merits. ‘When the case was called in Judge Low’s court Saturday Dave Neagle appeared alone as both defendant and his own at- torney. It was true that Mr. Kelly and some other Bouthern Pacific attorneys were present, together with a number of Southern Pacific detectives, but Mr. Neagle rose for himself, displayed an acquaintance with the law in the case and secured a postponement without pleading and with- out demanding or waiving a jury trial. He secured the continuance aad the pro- ceedings ended. . ————— Low Prices for Shoes. This is an era of low prices in various lines of wearing apparel, but of all the at- tractive inducements to buyers in the mat- ter of prices, the clearance sale now in progress at Kast’s shoe store is the great- est. These summer clearance sales are |-fegular annual events at this house, and the occasions are always memorable to those who patronize them, because of the remarkakle values that are offered. This year's ul_e eclipses all others, and such an opportunity to buy footwear at cost, and less thu; cost, will not occur again in this city until next year’s sale at Kast's. Every shoe in the house is marked down for this sale. The stock is all new, stylish and up- to-date in e.vn-i respect, while for finish and durability Kast’s shoes have no supe- rior. The sale will continue for this week only, ana those who wish to take advan- gl.zl:yai it should visit the store without s Died in the Receiving Hospital.

Shooting the chutes, tripping the trolley, riding in the scenic railway, the haunted swing and the merry- go-round will all be in operation. MUST SHOW THE BOOKS. The Cold Storage Company’s Accounts ‘Will Be Examined in the Corri- veau Case. Henry W. Westphal, secretary, and yvmi.m Mersfelder, assistant secretary of the Merchandise and Oold Storage Com- pany, appeared in Judge Coffey’s court Saturday in answer to a citation to show cause why they should not be punisbed for contempt in refusing to comply with an order of the court to produce the books of the company in court. The corporation officers were represented by M. A. Dorn and C. E. Nougues, and Crittenden Thornton and L. M. Hoefler represented the estate of Louis Corriveau. &estphl! and Mersfeider were needed to cast some light on alleged transactions between Corriveau and the company wherein Corriveau's estate melted away The books, it was contended by the. estate, would show all these things. The company’s attorneys hela that the officers of the corporation had no right to remove the books from the company’s office, but they were vilhn% to allow the executor to examine the books in the office. ‘ Thornton contended that contempt of court was committed in refusing to pro- duce the books in court. This point was argued at length by both sides, and the court overruled the demuurrer. ‘Westphal was called to the witness RO Elder Lorenzo Snow, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. man apparently about 60 years of age, and the place & cozy suite in the Hotel Lap- ham. But Elder Loreazo Snow, whose 1ull title is president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the OChurch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is an old, old man. Though he looks to be only a decade over 50 years old, that figure exactly represe the duration of his ministry in the Mormon church. Sixty years ago, one. bright Sunday in the summer of 1836, a young man of 23 years first listened to the teaching of the Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith. The new doctrine impressed him deeply, and for a short space he studied it with care and in connection with extensive Scriptu- ral research. At length, convinced that Mormonism was the only true religion, he was received into that church and shortly afterward ordained to its ministry. “I have followed the destinies of Mor- monism for over half a century,” contin- ued Elder Snow, “and I find it flourish- ing and prosperous. To be loved it must be known and understood; that is all. But I am so accustomed to preaching that I fear that I am dropping into it now. In my ministerial life I have preached everywhere I could find an audience. Ever since the completion of the magnificent temple at Salt Lake City, I have minis- tered there, a space of three years. “My coming here is notin the nature of an official visit. I am merely taking advantage of a chance to visit my son in this City and my brother in San Buena- ventura.”” Elder SBnow carries his 83 years very easily. He walks with a cane, or, more properly speaking, swings a canein his band when he walks, but even that was not taken up until he had completed four score of years. He isof medium height, rather slight in build, and his hair and full beard are slightly streaked with white. He is said to have been successful in his early business enterprises, and to be h w 2 man of independent fortune. His presi- dency over the Twelve Apostles is rather of honor than of jurisdiction, there being also a patriarch ‘and a general Bishop, both like himself subject to the president of the Mormon church. THE THEATERS. A List ‘of the Various Attractions That Have Been Selected to Entertain Patrons To-Night. The attraction that is to be offered at the Baldwin Theater this eveningis “The Masqueraders,” a drama by Henry Arihur Jones, a well-known dramatist.

Mrs. Sanford B. Dole, wife of the Presi- dent of the Republic of Hawaii, arrived here yesterday by the Peru from Hono- lulu. She will start this evening for the East. When seen at the Occidental last night she said: “All that I can say regatding Island affairs is that everything is quiet. There is simply nothing to tell.

SHE SAYS HE IS INNOCENT. Some Strange Portions of the Sensa- tional Kidnaping Story Are Pointed Out. The strange adventures of James A. Campbell, the millionaire of Hawaii, as related by himself, continue to be a fruit ful topic without the slightest ray of light being thrown on it by the army of detec- tives who are supposed to be diligently working on the case. Captain Lees cannot speak too highly of the bravery and grit of the old planter, and no matter how weak the points show up in Campbell’s story, the captain insists they are strong and conclusive -as corrob- orative of the story the old man tells. When Captain Lees first heard from Private Detective Curtin that the Hawaiian was missing and that foul play was sus- pected, the two Hawkshaws traced the missing man up to Monday afternoon last. He was seen then with 0. W. Winthrop, a man whom Captain Lees does not hesitate to say is the murderer of Mrs. Jennie Matthews. Even in the face of this the detectives did not take Winthrop into custody, al- though they say they could have done so. They say that they made no arrest because they feared action of that kind would jeopardize Campbell’s safety. Two days later, on Wednesday night last, Mr. Campbell, broken down in health, bruised and bleeding, reappeared at the Occidental Hotel, whence he was taken by Winthrop. The latter called in the detectives, told them his sensational story about being kidnaped, and then the sleuths thought it about time to seek for ‘Winthrop and his alleged accomplice. By that time, however, both men were under cover and have not since been seen. Mrs. Winthrop, wife of the suspected man, and two reputable ladies in the house in which she lives at 354 Grove street, are positive that Campbell, Lees and Curtin are all wrong about Winthrop being the man who lured Campbell away from the Occidental Hotel on Monday afternoon. They declare positively that he was at his home for his evening meal about 6 o’clock that evening. If this be the truth Winthrop could not possibly have been at 4109 California street, where Campbell says he was. Mrs. Winthrop when seen yesterday was averse to conversing on the subject of her husband’s disappearance. “That,” the lady said, ‘‘is the one par- ticular point on which the detectives lay the greatest stress. They seem to accept the fact that he is not within their clutches as proof positive he is guilty. “‘Once before he was made to suffer tem- porary imprisonment on a charge of mur- der which was perfectly groundless, and he does not propose to undergo the same ordeal in this case, which is equally with- out foundation. When the proper time comes Mr. Winthrop will be ready and willing, as he is now, to face his accusers and prove his innocence.’’ In the meantime Captain Lees has a reguiar relay watch on guard at the Win- throp house. Mrs. Winthrop, as she glances up and down the streer, shrugs her shoulders and says: “There they are; why don’t they spend their time trying to unravel the motive of Mr. Campbell’s wila story, instead of making things so disagreeable for me?"”” It is pointed out by the theorists who disbelieve Mr. Campbel!'s tale of kidnap- ing that the alleged bullet holein the wall of the house 4109 California street is not genuine.
