4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, APRIL 1, RN S R 1897. MINERS FLOCKING TOWARD BALLARAT Mushroom Growth of tie New, Camp on the Desert. Bustling Town Where There Were but Two Buildings Tea Days Ago. Randsburg Rivaled by the Panamint / District as a Mecca for Prespectors. RANDSBURG, Car., March 31.—During the past two weeks many leading citizens, prospectors and miners have caught the Panamint fever. Two gentlemen, on their return from Panamint yesterday, counted forty teams and outfits on the road to the new mices. Ten daysago there were only two wooden buildings and two tents at Ballarat, the new mining camp of the desert. To-day there are seventeen, and a general store, feed yard and two saloons are doing a thriving business. Eight miles east of Ballarat, in Pleas- ant Canyon, another camp has been started, and it has its store, feed yard and saloon. Town sites are already laid out at both places and town lots are being sold at from §10 to $73 each. An abundance of water and mesquit timber is at hand. In the mountains near by are great quanti- ties of pinon pine. The climate is similar to that at Randsburg, and tents answer very well for the protection of the gold seckers. Montgomery Drothers and Langford have a group of nineteen mines, which are bonded to San Francisco capitalists. Two of the group—the World Beater and the Elephant—are now being worked. Four drifts or funnels in the Wor:ld Beater snow high-grade -free-milling ore. The top level starts in on a four-foot vein that increases to seventeen feet at a distance of sixty feet. In a120-foot drift in the Ele- phant there is a well-defined ledge of high- grade free-milling ore. The vein is six feet wide on top and fourteen feet at a de of forty feet. A clean-up irom a six days’ run with a small Bryan miil of ten tons a day capacity netted $7000. Forty- five men are employed at $2 a day and board each. Many transfers are being made in the new Panamint country. Two weeks ago 2 Spaniard named Valencia discovered a ledge and immediately soid bis claim to San Francisco capitalists for §15,000. The purchasers have in turn sold it to a Chi- cago syndicate. Another prospector (Charles Whize) sold his claim for $6000. H. 8. Meyer, a Tulare capitalist, has bonded a group of six claims adjoining the Montgomery property, also two water rights. The principal camps are located in Pleasant, Tuber, Jail and Happy canyons. About eizhty men are now employed in toe sever:l mines. Owing to the great distance trom Moj; (120 miles) hay is worth $45 a tons. All other goods and provisions are proportionately high. Pros- vectors must necessarily be well supplied_ with money and provisions. In the Rademacher district there is much activity in mining. Forty-seven camps have been established. Consider- able work is being done on Dr. Schafer's mine, and aiso on the Rademacher, Louis Riggs’, McKinney Brothers’ and the 0’Connor and Rutherford properties. A couple of arastas are being run in that rict. Atv present most of the ore is being shipped to Kernville. A Hunting- ton mill is now being erected at Higgens’ Wells, which will be of great benefit to the mine and claim-owners of the Rademacher district. This district is blessed with plenty of water, it being found at a dis- tance of thirty feet beneath the surface. Heretofore the Argus district has al- ways been considered s a silver-bearing country, but late discoveries are showing up well in goid. The output from this distriet is shipped to Pueblo and Kern- ville, Slate- Range is forty-one miles north of Randsburg, and it is coming to the front. New and valuable discoveries are being made there every day. A number of good mines are in active operation. The Otto is shipping vary zood ore and the Bennett is showing up well: Several arastas, be sides two small mills, are in operation in this district. wi SHIIIETON7 STATE’S LOSS. Evidence, That the Commonwealth Was Defrauded in the Sale of Tidelands. SEATTLE, Wasu., March 3L.—Commis- sioner Bridees has nneartbed a scheme in the State Land Office to-day wherain the commonweaith was robbed of $144,258 08 in the saie of two blocks of tidelands on the water front of this city. In September last the Land Commis- sion executed two contracts of sale for the 1and in question, the stipulated purchase price being $ but it transpires :hat the records were not permitied to reveal the transaction until two months after the contracts had been i1ssued. On November 4 the Commercial Comvany, 1o which concern the instruments were made out, assigned the contracts to the Northern Tacific Railroad Cowmpany, being paid $149,834 03. On Novemper 9 the Tideland Commission approved the assignment, thus allowing the “dummy” Commercial Company to sell (without baving put up a doll less than ninety days later, for $149,5834 08 land for which the State of ‘Washingion receivea SAUSALITO OFFICIALS BAFFLED, Blacksmith on the Peirel Leaves Credi- tors in the Luroh. SAUSALITO, Car,March 31.—E. Nagle, a blacksmith on the United States cruiser Petrel, sailed away for Japanese waters with the vessel to-aay and left behind bim a few creditors in BSausalito who have made every effort toserve documents upon Lim so that he wouid be compelled to set- tle his little accounts or forego the pleas- ure of a six years’ cruise in the Orient. Town Marshal Creed has kept a silent vigil at the landing where the Petrel’s small boats have discharged their passen- eers, but not a sign of the elusive bluck- smith could he cateh. In an aflidavit filed in Recorder Pryor's court A. Sylva, to whom the claims against Nagle were assigned, savs that he is informed that the defendant has openty avowed that he was guing away with the Petrel for six years and would-not pay the demands of the Saunsalito creditors.” Mr. Sylva asked that the court make an order 5o that Nagle could not carry out his threat. The court made the order and Marshal Creed still has it, while Nagle is ©n the waters of the Pacific Ocean slightly outsiue of the jurisdiction of the outwitted officials of Sausalito. gt STANFORD'S '97 GRADUATES.

Suit Brought to Qust McWhirter and Martin From Positions on the Dirsctorate. FRESNO, Car., March 31.—The trouble in the Bunset Irrigation District between the two factions which cannot agree as to whether the irrgation scheme shall be carried out has assumed a new phase. Yesterday John Curtin brought suit in the name of the ple against Mmilton McWhirter and L. H. Martin to oust them from the board of directors, io which they were recently elected. The election was held on February 3 and five directors were chosen. The plaintiff alleges that Miiton McWhirter is not entitled to the office because he has not been & resident of the district for some time and has not com- plied with certain requirements con- nected with _the assumpiion of the office, The complaint against Martin, the other director, is similar to that against Mec- W hirter. The Sunset Irrigation District appears to be in a bad way. The people who com- prise it are divided into two factions of about equal strength, gnd the feeling is very bitter. NOTES OF THE THEATERS, Mrs. Russ Whytai’s Pretty Act: ing in “For: Fair Virginia.” Osbourne’s Strong Dsath Sceme in “New Blood "—Some Coming Concerts. A very pretty and interesting story of war times is *“For Fair Virginia,” in which Mr. and Mrs. Russ Whytal are ap- pearing at the Columpia Theater. There is nothing pretentious about the play, but it tells s naturalstory in a simple and | effective way. The two characters who stand out as de- lightful bits of character acting are Mrs. Whytal's Nell Esmond, the Yankee girl, and Miss Lottie Briscoe’s portrayal of little Julian Esmond. The rest of the cast is good and the play is artistically staged. “For Fi week. r Virginia” will run all next The pretty drama, “His Gracs de Gram- mont,” will receive its last production at the Baldwin Theater to-morrow. Satur- day Otis Skinner will ptay Hamlet, which is considered one of his most successful roles, The scenes of Otis Skinner’s new roman- tic play, which he will present the major portion of next week at the Balawin Theater, are laid in ltaly at the beginning of the sixteenth century, at the time of the second invasion of that country by the French. The play is called **A Soldier of Fortune,” and is from the pen of the actor himself. The strongest scene in “New Blood” at the Alcazar is Courtland Crandall’s death, when up to the last moment he hesitates about signing an urjust will, and finally tears it to ribbons just before breathing his last. George Osbourne, who plays the role, dies in so realistic and grewsome a manner that the audience insists on hav- ing the curtain up again and again at the end of the act. The cast of *New Blood”’ is a long one, embracing twenty-two characters, sll told. Most of the parts are effectively filled, and the play is going very smoothly. “The Dago” is drawing well at the Grand. Its sensational scenes are start- ling and have some of the spice of novelty, and the songs and specialties introduced are ali clever. “Don Juan Ad Lib,”” with its many jokes and specialties, is providing plenty of mirth for Tivoli audiences. Some of the songs are nightly encored again and again and the ballets win even more ap- plause than usua The Orpheum bill isattracting the usual large number of variety-lovers. Henry Lee’s impersonations continue to grow in favor, and the act of the four Cohens is going batter this week than if did last. The Oberon is varying its programme nightiy and is attracting the usual num- ber of music-lovers. The grand Wagner concert of the Sym- hony Orchestra beeins at 8 o'slock this afternoon at the Columbia Theater. “Rigoletto’’ is to be the bill at the Cali- fornia Theater this evening. Henr1 Albers will sing the title role, one in which he has achieved prominent success, On Sat- urday night *La Juive" is to be repeated for the last time. ‘*‘William Tell” is an- nounced for Monday and the great pro- daction of “*Aida" is to be repeated by the company on Wednesday. An event of importance will be the production of “Hamlet” for the first time in this City on Friday night on the occasion of the te: timonial benefit to be tendered Barytone Albers. To-morrow night Miss Dozothy L'Hote will make bher debut upon the professional stage at the California Theater, present- ing Tom Taylor’s beautifal play, “An Un- equal Match.” Miss L'Hote. will be as- sisted by professional talent, including members of Modjeska’s and Haworth's com panies. ‘ NO MORE SPECIAL RATES. They Will Not Be Graoted for Excur- sion Parties Coming to San Francisco. No more special rates for excursion parties to San Franciscowill bs granted by the Southern Pacific Company, owing to the refusal of the Board of Supervisors to pass the anti-scalpers’ ordinance. This means that members of organizations de- siring to hold conventions in San Fran- cisco will have to pay the full fare here- after. *‘The company,” said one of General Passenger Agent Goodman’s representa- tives yesterday, ‘*has been badly treated in the past through the manipulation ot excursion tickets by scalpers, and it has found it mecessary to call a halt. The new rule applies only to business-direoted 10 San Francisco, and in order to get the benefit of former special rates organiza. vions desiring to bold State ésnventions will have to select some place other than San Francisco where transportation privi- leges are not abused as they have been in this City." —— BOOKED FOR BURGLARY.

Weed, the guest at the Palace who was arrested Monday night by Detec- tives Bee and Harper, was bookea at the City Prison last night on. a charge of burgl He had been s guest at the hotel for about two weeks, and on March 19 he broke into the room of J.

Two Bookmakers Arrested for Passing Counterfeit Lollars. The two r.en .whom THE CALL an- nounced yesterday morning as having been arrested for passing counterleit coin were brought before United States Com- missioner Heacock yesterday. They were George Lewiston, cashier for Harlan & Co., racing bookmakers, and F. Karvine, cashier for the Chicago Bookmaking Club. The charge against them was passing a counterfeit silver dollar. They explainea tbat they had come from the East, where paper money is most in vogue, and that they were not suffi- ciently familiar with gold and silver coin to be able to detect counterfeits. It isnot | expectea that a conviction can be had, but it is believed that the arrest will be a warning to them. They were released on $250 bail. The Secret Service Department reports that one bookmaker on the Oakland track turned over to Detectivs Harris ninety spurious five-dollar picces, representing & loss to the bookmaker of $450. The name | of this paragon of honesty on the turf has | been withheld. If the man was known he would be at once embalmed as an ex- | ample to posterity. ——————— THE HUDELSON LIBEL.

E.ch attorney was al- lowed an hour and a half and it was taken fuil advantage of. Attorney D. R. Woodworth opened, and | he was followed by Attorney Jordan for the defense. The latter dwelt particularly | upon the fact that aecordine to the statute the report of the proceedings befors the | judiciary board of the American Protec- uve Association was a privileged com- munication.
