At the time of the holdup there were four customers in the bank. While wait- ing on the customers Cashier McNulty | had occasion to go into the vault, When | he came back and looked up he wascon- tronted with & shotgun in the hands of a robber and told to throw up his hands. The customers had already complied with the request, and hedia likewise. Une of tHe robbers leaped over the railing and opened a private door, through which the men were made to passand line up against | the wall. One robber took a position at the door { and compelled all passers-by to halt and | throw up their hands, In the meantime the third robber bad gone into the vault, taking all the coin and cnrrency, even to nickels, and placing them in a sack. | He demanded the keysto the private | boxes and ransacked them. By this time | the report of the bank being robbed had reached the citizens, several of whom armed themselvesand awaited the appear- | ance of the robbers. As the robbers made their exit from the bank Alexander Donnelly, a young man 25 years old, opened fire and killed one robber instantly and wounded another, hitting him twice. The third robber had the sack containing the coin and suc- ceeded in reaching his horse, which was standing near by. He did not succeed in mounting his house until he had dropped his gun, and then getting it he rode over the hills toward Prairie Creek, afterward turning toward Cornucopia. The robber killed was named Brown, while the one who | escaped was named Fitzhugh.

SAN JOSE, Car., Oct. 1.—The Board of Supervisors has received a long tirade | against woman suffrage from John Atkin- son of St. Louis, Mo. In his letter he urges the voters to work against the elev- enth amendment, as be says should the | women agitators once obtain the balance of power their long list of imaginary grievances would be speedily redressed by | measures so extreme and unreasonable as to cause antagonism and hate, if not worse, between the sexes. ‘The board refused 1o listen to the read- ing of the letter. Mr, Atkinson is not known here, but he is evidently a crank who imagines his mission is to work against woman suffrage. ot i e | DEATH OF FRANK 5.

And She Is Reputed to Be Worth Several Thousand Dollars. CHINATOWN IN WILD DISMAY The Law Has Been Invoked and Every Effort Will Bs Made for Her Rescue. 'SACRAMENTO, CAv., Oct. L—Just be- fore the departure of the Red Bluff train from this city to-night, Constable Spinks of Sacramento and Constable Rodgers of Red Bluff, accompanied by several depun- ties, entered Chinatown with a hack and arrested & Chimese woman named Ah Lin on a charge of grand larceny sworn to by a Red Bluff highbinder named Ah Lee. The oflicers were accompanied by a Celestial from Red Bluff who pointed out the woman wanted, and the officers seized her and sttempted to place her in the hack and succeeded after a desperate sug- gle, during which she smashed all the glass out of the vehicle and severely scarred the faces of the officers with a woman's weapons, ber nails, Her screams aroused the entire inhabi- tants of the Celestial quarters, who rushed to arm themselves, but before they could offer any decided opposition the woman was gone, It is claimed that although the warrant was straight enough, it is a pare case of kidnaping, and the Jaw is being usea sim- ply as a tool to procure possession of Ah Lin by a highbinder society of Red Bluff. “Ah Lin has never been outside of this city for nearly five years,'” states a promi- nent Chinese official, “and this charge of erand larceny has been trumped up to se- cure possession of her, because she owns several thousand dollars and is talking of returning to China. 4 “But their scheme will never succeed, as we have telegraphed ihe Sheriff at Red Biuff to meet the train and take the woman directly into his custody and have sent one of our company along to see that thisisdone. We have also secured the services of a lawyer, who will go upon the firsg train.” In the meantime, Chinatown is stirred to its depths, and all manner of threats are being made against the Celestials of Red RIluff by the local tongs. The Red Bluff Chinaman who accompanied the officers has been arrested on a charge of abduction and locked up, and bis life wall not be worth a rushlight should he be turned at liberty to-morrow. THE DUTCH HARBOR DISASTER. FParticulars of the Distressing Casualty in Which Eight British Marines Were Drowned. VICTORIA, B. C., Oct. 1L.—Full partic- nlars of the distressing fatality at Dutch Harbor, Ounalaska, whiel cost the British { navy the loss of Lieutenant Heyman and seven of the croiser Satellite's company, are contained in & letter from Heyman's brother officers bearing date of September 12 and received here to-day. While we lay at anchor in Datch Har- bor two officers of the first class asked per- mission to take the dingey to go fishing. They left the ship between 3 and 4 o’clock in the afternoon of September 4. The wind was blowing steadily then, and toward 6 o'clock it was freshening, and continued to do so until the place represented boil- ing water, Steam was raised to assist the anchors, but the engines were not re- quired. “The galley was sent with a voluntar; crew to fetch the perty otficers on voard. First Lieutenant Heymean was in charge and they reached the dingey which was leit on the beach quite safe and the gal- ley was seen pulling toward tbe ship, “Darkness was setting in very fast and lights were placed in position for the guidance of the men in the boat. *The wind became so strong that it was impossible for the boat to reach the ship, but we all thought they Lad returned and would be safe on the beach. Harly next morning only one man was seen on shore, and a cutter was sent to bring him off to the ship. All information was gained. He saxd the galley was turning to make for land again, when she was swamped and sank. “Nine men were in the boat and eight were drowned. Search hoats were sent out, but they only found that it-was all too true. The body of Blake, an able sea- man, was recovered, and the funeral took place on the 10th.”’ Accompanying this description of the unforiunate accident is the following hst of those in the boat: First Lieutenant Heyman, Petty Officer Ricketts, Petty Officer Williams, ading Seaman White, Able Seaman Salter, Able Seaman Blake (body recovered), Able Sea- man Gateral, Able Seaman Cromwell, Able Seaman Hill (saved).

SEATTLE, Wasu., Oct. 1.—Local Agent McGinms received a cipher dispaich this afternoon from District Passenger Agent G, McL. Browa of the Csnadian Pacific concerning the telegraphers’ strike, say- ing: “The strike is not interfering with the running of trains. Train-dispatchers’ ts are filled. Operators are coming in rom all points rapidly. All passenger trains are running as usual.”” This afternoon a man officially connect- ed with the Canadian Pacific said have not been officially notified to such fect. yet I am informed that to-day a notice was sent out by the Canadian Pa- cific management from Montr to the effect that all operators whose positions w.re not filled by 5 o’clock this afternoon ould be formally discharged and their ositions declared vacant.” g THE STRANDED UMATILLA. Captain Goodall Visits the Wessel and Thinks There Is a Good Chance to Save Her. SEATTLE, Wasn., Sept. 1.—Captain C. M. Goodall of Goodall, Perkins & Co., agents of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, accompanied by R. B. Hooper, average insurance adjuster, srrived in Se- attle this evening from San Francisco and with J. F. Trowbridge, local superinten- dent of the steamship company, who re- turned from Port Townsend to-day, left on the steamer Rosalie for the scene of the Umatilia wreck. Moran Bros., ship- builders,have also proceeded to Port Town- send, with two of their 18-inch pumps, by means of which they hope to remove the water from the vessel. Trowbridge says the hole in the Uma- tilla’s bottom is on the starboard side and near amidships, but Diver Benjamin had not, as far as he had been advised, defi- nitely located the injury. The vessel, Mr. Trowbridge stated, hasa very valuable cargo aboard, none of which, with the exception of some perishable freight, was saved. 8he had considerable sugar and a large amount of California canned goods con- signed to parties at Delogoa Bay, South Africa, At low tide the stern of the ves- sel lies in four fathoms of water and is almost submerged at high tide. 8héis, Superintendent Trowbridee claims, on good bottom and in no danger of break- ing to pieces save through the agency of extremely bad weather. Her repairs, 1n case she is floated safely, Mr. Trowbridge thinks, will be made at either Quartermaster harbor or the dry- docks near Tacoma or at Victoriz, and in the event that the work cannot be done at eitber of these docks, she will, no doubt, be taken to the Government dry-dock at Port Orchard. Receiver C. J. Smith of the Oregon Im- provement Company, which concern owns the vessel, stated to-day that the Umatilla was insured for over $200,000. RS G Y PASADENANS FIGHTING FIRE. Mountains Enveloped in Smoke During the Day and Brilliantly Hluminated at Night. PASADENA, Can, Oct. 1.—Mountain fires are raging with terrible violence at Switzers Camp and vicinity, about eight miles northwest of Pasadena. The sky is darkened by a heavy volume of smoke all day. At night the mountain ridges are briiliant with huge fires. Great alarm is felt for property in that locality. The lands burning belong to the Government, but the fires are disastrous to the whole country on account of the destruction of timber. One hundred men left Pasadena to-night to fight the fires, and the Board of Trade met to-day to go before the County Supervisors and ask them to send forces of men to protect the mountains from further ravages. The fires have been burning more than three weeks. e JACK CURLEY'S SKELEION, Found in the Chuckawalla Mountains v by a Prospector. SAN BERNARDINO, Car., Oct, 1.—E. G. Fish, a miner in Colorado River coun- try, writes that last Sunday he found the remains of Jack Curley, lost from the Adams camping party about a year ago. Curley had set out from camp on & mule to go to the river. A few days later the party found the mule in the Chuckawalla Mountains, but never discovered any trace of Curley, though a systematic search was made. The skeleton, with papers and trinkets to identify it, was stumbled on near Mule Springs, in the Chuckawalla range, between poulder and Dos Palmas. The same letter contained & mention of the finding of an unknown body by & man named Blackburn. The remarkable part of this discovery was that Blackburn found the body near Coyote Hole, where a few weeks ago he found the watch and trinkets of Staubenmiller. g o e il BEEF SOLD FOR VENISON. How Astoria ‘“Hunters’ Have Been Doing a Thriving Business. ASTORIA, Oz., Oct. 1.—During the past summer several hunters kept the cottagers at the beach mnear Seaside suppliea with what they sold for elk-meat, but invaria- bly refused to sell to any of the perma- nent residents. They also declined all offers of additions to their iumber when going hunting. Yesterday the carcasses of six cattle were found in the woods near where the hunters were in the babit of “hunting.” Bullet holes showed the man- ner in which the animals had been killed, and the absence of the choicest portions of the meat left little doubt as to where the elk hunters had met with such uni- form success. The Grand Jury will in- vestigate the matter. o R FOUSS 1S HELD FUOR MURDER, No Rail for the Slayer of Manwuel Bel- lina at San Luis Rey. 8AN DIEGO, Car., Oct. 1.—Albert J. Foss was yesterday held for trial in the Snperior Court for the murder of Manuel Bellina at San Luis Rey, September 19, without bail. Bellina, who was ihe most prominent rancher in San Luis Rey Val- ley, had been to call on the mother of Foss, against whom he had a mortgage, and on leaving the yard was taken by Foss for a stranger. W hen Bellina refused to answer a call Foss shot him down. Both men were very prominent. The defense set that the incident of three years ago, when Foss’ mother was attacked at night by & Mexican while alone in the house, caused Foss to be unduly alarmed on this occasion. —_———— FIRE AT MARK WEST.

The Finding of Curious Nug- gets and Bits of Stray Quartz. QUEER HISTORY OF ROSSLAND San Francisco the Place to Which the Miners Look for Supplies of All Kinds. Alexander Begg, publisher of the Brit- ish Columbia Mining Record, Victoria and Vancouver, is among the arrivals at the Baldwin. Mr. Begg is an old newspa- per man. He has lately completed a voluminous history of the Northwest, which engaged his attention for two years. Mr. Begg says that there is enormous actiyity in the mining districts of the Northwest in the Cariboo, Slocan, Trail Creek, East Kootenay and other districts of British Columbia. . There ;has been lately a heavy product of gold, towns have sprung up and the liveliest kind of activ~ ity has been noticeable on every haad. Mr. Begg has personally visited most of these districts and spent considerable time there. He says San Francisco ought to pay attention to thesedistricts, for there is a lot of business to be got there. He says Alexander Begg, Who Has Re- cently Come From the Northern Gold Diggings. [Sketched from life by @ “Call” artist.] it is a great field for mining machinery, tbe machinery can be taken in free of duty and the people there all look to San Fran- cisco as the best place in which to buy it. “The mining prospects in British Co- lumbia,”” said he, ‘“‘surpass anything con- templated a few months ago. Prospectors by thousands have gone to the new dis- tricts. The past seasan has been one of development more than actual production. Near Rossland there are at present twelve mines that may be called shippers. These are the Le Roy, War Eagle, Iron Mask, 0. K., Cliff, Josie, Poorman, Crown Point, Nickel Plate, Kootenay and Columbia, Center Star and Jambo. In addition to these there are ten probable shippers in 1897, *In point of fact, however, the lack of transportation facilities has prevented the ore from being shipped, and in conse- quence large quantities are on the dumps awaiting theadvent of the new r+il The Red Mountain Rsilway, or as itis familiarly known Corbin’s road, will be in Rossland during October. The Columbia and Western 1s now built from Rossland to Trail and will extend its line immedi- atély, and the Crow’s Nest Pass Railway will be built before a year, so that in the immediate future the shipment of ore from that district will be immense, “At Trail, on the Columbia Riyer, a number of immense deposits similar to those near Rossland have been discovered and development is going on. All up the Columbia River new camps are being formed and fresh discoveries constantly made, and before another summer there will be numerous mining towns along that river. *It i3 simply astonishing the amount of activity that is going on. “Another district which promises great results is that of Boundary Creek. Itis the opinion of practical men that it abounds with great mines, and the surface indications are certainly wonderful When the Columbia and Western Rail- road gets in there I expect to see a boom in mining that will astonish people. There are other districte near here, such as Salmon River and others. i *“We not only have gold but we have reat silver mines. The Slocan and Lar- ian Duncan disiricts are both chiefly silver, ana the former has several wonder- ful mines in operation, the grincipd be- ing the Slocan Star, which this year has paid its shareholders $250,000 in divi- dends on a capital of $500,000. There are several other silver mines developing into large properties, and any number of smaller enterprises being worked by men of small capital. One feature of the Slocan district is that even if silver goes below what it is at present it will pay to mine it, the ores being so rich. “East Kootenay mines are chiefly low grade, but the deposits are immense and the ore of much greater valne than the great mines of Alaska, which are paying their shareholders so handsomely. “I could go on enumerating district after district throughout the province where mining and irmnpeeflng are being carried on y. *“Not only have we quartz mines produec- ing the refractory ores, as in Rossland, but a number of valuable free-milling propo- sitions are being worked. At se Creek a deposit with the gold sprinkled ail through the rock is now ‘worked, and it is expected that several millions will be taken out of 1t during the next year or so. Free-milling ores are coming to the front, and a great deal of that Zina of mining will be done from tkis out. “Hydraulic mining is proving very suc- cessful, not only in Cariboo but in other districts. One of the two il com- panies only the other day cleaned up| $90,000, toe work, and it clean-up of what ]i);ooeedl of only a few days’ f > ted that by fall the 3 known as the upper country will run into_hundreds of thou- sands of doilars. California- and other miners took out over $5,000,000 from this run in the early days with the pan and rocker, They only skimmed it over, and now hydraulicking is gesting at the great wealth in the immense beds of gravel all along the rivers and creeks. It is con- fidently assured by old miners and 'fi?fll- cal men that ‘n-e finds of quartz et :lcndlrmvmd n the Caribooand ndjolnflg “The nuggets, some of them very large, found inul.:: gravel beds cllm:t’ always bave the rock aitached to them, uhn'll:s that they must have become detac from some quartz bed. Where those great quartz deposits are has yet to be &3 tho country has nab hesm owing to the difficultiesof getting through it. But the discovery will be made ere lon "%hen there is the Big Bend country, which 1s known to be rich and from which Isaw only a few days before I left some splendid nuzgets.hmme of them worth from to each.

I was surprised at the great manufac- turing facilities enjoyed by San Franciseo, and I'think certainly your mining-machin- ery men and your merchants dealing in mining supplies should give attention at once to_the ften district to the north of you. Your city is particularly well situ- ated in the matter of freight to send in supplies to wus. ~ Your factories and machine-shops are hrgo enough to com- pete with the East.

Now very little of your mschinery here is like anytbing made in Canada, so customs duty does notstana in your way. I think, and bavein factall along thought, that San Francisco is a specially good supply mart for our country. Southern Kootenay owes much to American capital in its de- velopment, and we are not the people to deny it, but we have wakened up to the fact that we have one of the richest min- ing countries in the world, and while Americans led the way we are notslow and the Canadian people are becoming greatly interested in our mining develop- ment, “It is worth while for San Francisco to keep an eye on British Columbia.”’ IMPALED O A PIPE, Horrible Accident to a Passen- ger on a Mission-Street Car. Arthur Mil's Probably Fatally Injured by a Piece of Carelessness. A serious accident, which may prove fatal to at least one man, occurred on Mission street, between Sixth and Seventh, early last evening. A Mission-street car was going west, when it slowed up because of a wagon loaded with water pipes, which refused to leave the track ahead. The driver of the wagon just abead of the car would not turn out, The car was approaching, and as a result the dashboard of the car struck the ends of the pipes reaching over the back of the wagon. Arthur Mills was sitting on the front of the car, and as the car struck the pipes one of them was driven into his abdomen, inflicting a wound which will probably prove fatal.
