Fiour Selis for Fifty Dollars a Sack in the Cloudyke District. Though Hunger Threatens, Fabulous Discoveries Nerve the For- tune-Hunters. SEATTLE, Wasm., April 8 — Sensa- tional news, and apparently of a most re- liable nature, as to rich gold discoveries in the new, but aiready famous Cloudyke district, came via the steamship Mexico, which arrivea from Alaska to-day. A correspondingly unfortunate condition pertaining to the scarcity of food supplies at Clondyke and towns on the Yukon are also reported. Edward Thorp, who went in last June witha herd of cattle; Hugh Day, the Gov- ernment mail-carrier Binet, Charles Lamb, William McKenzie and George Rounds, constituting a party of six, have just returned from the Yukon. They say the stories concerning the extraordinary richness of the discoveries in the Cloudyke district have not been exaggerated in the least, Thorp arrived there last fall and spent the winter along the various creeks tribu- tary to the main stream. The prospects thus far located, Thorp says, are on Bon- nanza and El Dorado creeks. The amount of gold contained in many of the claims, which has been computed with a reaso na- ble degree of accuracy by sinking pros- pect holes in various portions of the pay streak and taking an average of pans of gravel from each one, is almost incredible. In these districts 10 cents toa pan is ccnsidered paydirt, but Thorp solemnly declares that there are many claims yield- ing from $5 to $100 to the pan. Even richer discoveries were made by Frank Berry, owner of No. 6, at El Do- rado. A single pan has yieided $338, in- cluding a nugget worth $238. Berry oper- ated his claim almost all winter, paying his laborers §1 25 an hour. He located the pay streak for a width of 150 feet, averag- | ing three feetn thickness, the full width ot the claim. Good dirt is encountered immediately under the muck (which in that locality is about nine feet thick) that vields from 8 to 25 cents to the pan, but the pay streak is not considered to have been struck until 75-cent dirt is reached. Pan after pan taken from the bedrock on this claim ran from $150 to $200. Itis reported to have almost staggered the ba- lief of the oldest Yukoners. Berry’s expenses have been about $150 a day all winter, but he is said to have enough gravel lying on the dumo ready to be washed out t0 equal & fortune of six figures. 1 was standing near Berry’s aump one evening,” said Thorp, “when Mrs. Berry came down from the cabin to call her hus- band to supper. While waiting for him to come up the shaft she picked up over $30 in coarse gola and nuggets that were lying loose in the gravel, just as it came from bedrock, not five minutes’ time be- ing occupied 1n doing it. But notwithstanding the abundance of gold there appeared to be, at the de- parture of Thorp, grave danger that starva- tion would run some ot the miners in the Yukon a very close race before the spring supplies of provisions reached them. At Cloudyke flour is selling at $50 a sack—$1l a pound. There is none to be had at Forty-mile, and Circle City is with- out bacon. found anywhere in that section. It costs $1 a pound to take provisions from Circle City to Cloudyke. “Beans are selling at 30 cents a pound at Cloudyke and 15cents at Circle City. No sugar is to be had at Cloudyke, and any grade sells 25 cents a pound at Forty-m Meanwhile the Canadian police, as cus- tom officers, are getting in their deadly work in the way of collecting duties. On the cattle taken to Cloudyke, Thorp had to pay a customs duty of 20 per cent of their price. WOODLAND’S CONVENTION. Epworth Leagus Dslegates Discuss Moth- ods of Advancing the Chris- tian Cause. WOODLAND, CaL., April 8.—The sec- ond day’s session of the Napa District Ep- worth League opened this morning with an immense attendance.

L. Case of Guinda read a paper on “Methddism and the Moral Life of the Community,” which was followed by a discussion, *“‘The Christ Life, a Service of Love,” a paper by Miss sertha Clarke of Guinas, was one of the best of the con- vention. The free pariiament was led by Miss Alvord, who gave an address on how to get all members to take part in the de- vouional meetings.

San Francisco Deputy Sherff Rescues Two Young Women From a Swollen Torrent. KIAH, CaL, March 8.—The story of an exciting rescue by a San Franncisco Deputy Sheriff of three companions, who were threatened with drowning in the rain-swollen river, came to light here to- day and has caused much comment. De- puties “Jim’’ Degan and “Jack” Tracy of Sheriff Whelan’s force came up with two insane patients who had been committed to the asylum, and after landing their charges at the institution started out to see the sights during the few hours that intervened before their train for San Fran- cisco left. Meeting two young ladies of their scquaintance they decided on a drive to Vichy Springs and procuring a team at & livery-stable started on their trip. The Russian River is still high from the recent storms, and the ford that is gener- ally used was covered by a roaring tor- rent. The horses were makiog their way carefully across and were up to their No game 10 speak of can be | | Banks, when the carriage wheels suddenly | cauzht on some object on the bottom and the vehicie stuck fast. The animals were urged on, but the only result was the breaking of the whiffistree and the de- camping of the frightened steeds, leaving the occupants in water that was running s0 swift that it threatened to overturn the carriage. It seemed madness to attempt to wade ashore, but there was notbing else to be done, and D=gan, who is over six feet tall and very powerliul, ieapedinto the water and struggled toward shore. Finding that the water did not carry him down stream he returned to the car- riage, and taking one of the ladies on his shoulders landed her safely on shore after a hard pattle. The second wasalso placea on dry land, and then Degan took com- passion on his friend, Deputy Tracy, who is short and stout, and made a third journey ashore with him. Degan was exbausted and wet ta his ts, but he caught the horses with the aid of & boy who happened along, and eventually got the carriage out and to a place where it was safe. S LOSS OF THE THETIS® MASCOT. Seamen of the United States Vessel Mourn the Death of Their Fa- mous Dag, Turpin. EAN DIEGO, Car April 8.— The United States coast survey vessel Thetis, which left this port on January 9, steamed into the harbor at3 o’clock this afternoon, after a cruise of several thousand miles down the coast and up the Gulf ot Cali- fornia as far as Guaymas. There was mourning aboard the vessel, for the The- | tis’ mastiff, Turpin, had been lost on the trip. Turpin was a faithful canine which was born on the Thetis, and the seamen looked upon him as a comrade as well as dispenser of goad fortune. urpin was born aboard ship-one hot day—February 17, 1887—as the Tnetis was crossing the equator on her way up from rounding the Horn,” said a brawny sailor i teliing of the loss. *His mother was down in the forecastie, where some of the boys bad made a bed for her, wher Turp was born. She was a water spaniel. ““From that day Turp became the prop- erty of the men—and didu’t we take good care of him?—for we loved the dog; couldn’t help it, he was so blamed smart. He would climbp up the mast and perch himself in the erosstrees when we was at sea, and he could scent a storm long afore the barometer indicated anything, and he knowed all the navies of the world by heart. “On the 20th of February last, just two | days after Turp's tenth birthday, we dropped anchor near Pichilinque Isiand, in the Gulf of California, where thereisa United States Government coaling sta- tion. Turp jumped overboard, swam ashore and wanaered off aiter a rabbit. That nigat he aidn’t return, and the next morning & searching party was started atter him. The island is a rocky desert, with no water but a few alkali pools that no ordinary dog would drink out of, much less Turp, Two days later we found him dead beside one of the pools. We brought him back and buried him by the shore with military honors, all the officers and men taking part, and built a monument of stones with the American flag in the center over his grave. That's the story andthat’s why we ain’t feeling 8o sporty as we might.” e e CAUGHT AT SACRAMENTO. Arrest of a Jewelry Thief Wanted for Robbing a Los Angeles Woman. SACRAMENTO, Can, April 8-—A negro giving the name of Henry Williams fell into the bands of the police to-day, and a search of his person resulted in the discovery of a genuine bonanza in valu- |able jewelry.

BT WRECKAGE OFF CLAYQUOT SOUND. Evidence of the Foundering of a Small Schooner, With Probable Loss of Life. PORT TOWNSEND, Wass., April 8.— According to private information re- ceived here to-day from Captain George of the pilot schooner M. M. is highly probable that during the recent severe storm a wreck of which no definite information has been received occurred. Captain Delome writes that during a re- cent cruise of the Morrill off Clayquot Sound large quantities of new lumber were sighted. There was no evidence be- yond this of anv wreck, but the sealing schooner Mary Taylor, spoken a few days Iater, reporled baving passed the side of a small schooner, together with other The Revenue-Cutter Rush While Fire Raged in the Hold. the revenue catter everything was done according to drill, and, owing to the sys- tem, the officers were able to successfuily combat the flames. The fire started in the galley, and wes discovered by the quartexmaster on guard, who immediately reported, and the cap- tain in command gave the fire signal, bringing the entire crew out. Men rushed from every direction and took their places, Some came in undress uniform, Navigator Johnson beinz one of these. He was shaving at the time, and his feet were innocent of shoes. Nevertheless Le obeved the summons. In less than one minute three large streams were turned upon the blazing gal- ley. The paint caused the xmoke to issue in dense volumes and gave tie impression that the entire vessel was ou fire, but alter a vigorous onslaught by the crew the flames were quenched. One of the officers, Navigator Johnson, was seen by a representative of THE CALL this evening. He said that the fire start- ed from one of the pipes in the galley and would nave been quite serious bad it not been discovered immediately. As i. was but slight damage wes done. “The fire drill on the Rush,” said he, “18 quite perfect, end in less than forty seconds we had three larze streams of water playing on the bl The Rush caught fire in Bering Sea last year and the men and officers ha quite a tussle before the blaze was extinguished.

WON BY STANFORD'S TEAM. Santa Clara College Baseball Nine De- foated by the Uniersity Players, 8.—While tne Banta Clara baseball team put in a little more ragged game than it did against Berxeley a week ago in its match with Stanford this atternoon, the game abounded in pretty plays and inzer- inning the score was 11 to 4 in Stanford’s favor. In the first inning Stanford opened hos- tilities by scoring four runs by heavy bat- ting. Thompson brought Beckett and Clemans in with a home-run hit over the left-fielder’s head. When the visiting team came to bat Beckelt gave three men their bases on balls, and & man was forced across the home plate. With two men ont 8harp, who played right field, made a sensational running catch, and the side was regired ¥ith bu: the single acore. In the third inning Wight hit safe, stole second and succeeded in reaching home on Clemans' two-base hit. Thomp- son azain connected with one of Keliey’'s swift curyes and brought in Clemans, two tallies being added to Stanford’s scor In the last half of the same inning Taber knocked a slow grounder to Clemans and beat out the throw to first. He stole second and third. Kolley drove a long fly to center field, which was proverly bandied by Thomvson. After its having been caught Taber made a dash for home and scored a tally. Loughead of Btanford scored in the fourth inning, but after that no runs were until the first balf of the ninth. In janing Staniord scored four more. Weli-placed hits by Clumans, Thompson, Klauber.

Hilborn and Perkins | SPIRITS LED Him ON TO AFFLUENCE Secret of Charles D. Lane's Success in Mining Ventures. Said by a Friend to Depend Entirely Upon Trance Mediums. Takes Their Auvice When Consider- ing the Acquisition of Prospect Properties. LOS ANGELES, Car, April 8,—The luck of Charles D. Lane, the millionaire mine-owner of San Francisco, as a pros- pector and the purchaser of prospects, which bave subsequently proved to be immensely rich properties, is often com- mented upon throughout the mining regions of the Pacific Slove. Lane has a large acquaintance among practical | miners, who regard his judgment about | mining properties as almost infallible. An expression heard among minersis that ‘‘wherever Lucky Lane goes fortune surely follows.” In view of his uniform good fortune miners and proepectors watch his numer- ous cperations With eagle eyes. Lane, it is said, never touches a claim which does not turn out well. Some of his most valua ble mining properties were most un- promising when he acquired them. Many a poor prospector has laughed over the millionaire’s credulity in buying a “prospect hole,” but in each case the man who parted with his mine has been made to regret his haste. In a few days usually the properties purchased for a few dollars have been found to be worth thousands and tens of thousands. But what bas passed for luck with Mr. Lane for so many years is declared by a frient to have been based on a careful and methodical procedure, wherein the occult has figured extensively. A miner just in from the desert, who knows the owner of the famous Fortuna well, says that Mr. Lane never makes a purchase of any min- ing properiy wiihout first consulting a spirit medium for pointersand assurances. When a claim is offered to Mr. Lane he procures specimens of the ore and then goes direct to his medium for advice. Seances are always held over the frag- ments of quartz or granite, and if the medium says ‘‘ouy’’ he does so. Ifshe says “nay” no amount cf persuasion or cut rates can ever induce the millionaire to put up money on such a claim. Tbe medium on whom Mr. Lane now princi- pally derends for his great good luck re- sides in Oakland. o RIGHTS OF PULPIT AND PRESS. Novel Points Raised in a Libel Suit Brought by an Evangelist Against a Newspaper. LOS ANGELES, CAr, April 8.—The trial of the suit of Evangelist I T. John- son of the M. E. church against the Fresno Republican for libel, now on in the United States Circuit Court in this city, revives the memory of some very warm times at the center of the famous raisin beit ot the San Joaquin Valley abont-one year ago. Johnson’s declaration wiich cause d the rumpus imputed a lack of chastity among the young women of Fresno and was made, the preacher eclaimed, upou infor- mation given to him by ‘a graduate of Brown University,” A motion was made by the defendant’s attorneys to-day to nonsuit the reveren d gentleman, becanse of admissions by his counsel in his opening statement to the effect that the plaintiff aid make the state- ment imputed {0 bim by the newspaper. In the arguments a nice point was raised by F. H. Short, of counsel for the defense—a’ point that has never been passed on. TIn brief it was whether there is any limit to the promulgation of a slander from the pulpit respecting the private character of citizens, and when a slander has been so promulgated, even though it be in the form of a repetition of the words of anotker, whether the press has a right to review such a slander and bold the promulgator responsible, whether it originated with him or was only an- nounced by him as the reported words of an informant. Having made the admission referred to, defendant’s counsel claimed there could be no libe], for the reason that the news. paper bad the right to make such com- ment as 1t chose in order to protect the reputation of the girls of Fresno against a sfander in whatever form it might be m ade public. Another point made by the de fense was whether an individual in the NEW TO-DAY. HILDREN ought tn brighten a mother’s daily cares and help her to be strong, capa- | ble and cheerful. It is'nt right for mothers and child-rear- g. That shows some- thing is wrong in the wiother's physical con. dition. ere is some snnatural weakuess in Ser delicate organism which disqualifies her for motherhood. Whes this is wrong is wror K:ar because of child- ing life is w:{:ped up in organs of When these are restored to health and strength the whole woman becomes healthy and strong. Dr. R. V. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y., has made a life-study of this problem of restoring health and strength to women. His ‘‘Favorite Prescription’ is the most successful remedy that has ever been known for women’s peeuliar ailments. Its sale excecds the combined sales of all other medicines for women. It cures the most obstinate uterine diseases. It goes directly to the internal ism which is the seat of all the troubles. It imparts vigor and health where they most needed ; heals ulceration ; stops ‘weak- #ning drains ; promotes r ; restores muscular power to the ligaments, thus cor- recting displacements of special organs in the only natural way.

SRR i TO AID THE UNEMPLOYED. ‘ Ealvation Army Froposes to Siart Various | Industries to Empoy Men i and Women. i LOS ANGELES, Oar., April 8.—The | Salvation Army of this city Las been in | consultation with its leaders in other parts | of the country for some time as to the best | method of dealing with the unemployed problem. The army authorities now come forward with a plan which they have laid | before & number of business men and | workers in the charity field, and which is considered feasible. | It 1s to start varioas | | industries, one at a time, on a small scale, | to manufacture articies of common use, | where the element of labor is a large fac. | tor and which will not confliet in any con- siderable degree with existing locai in- terests, They are particularly desirous of find- | ing lines of work where women can be emplioyed, and the first one to be under- taken will be the making of rag carpet. | The army will send out its own solicitors to procure the rags irom tke pecple of the city, and for so worthy an object large | quantities can undoubtedly be obtained without otber cost than that of gathering. At the beginning, fr m ten to twenty women can be put #t work at $3 a week | sorting and cutting the rags and weaving | them ‘into carpets. The outlay for the plant will be small, and it is calcuiated that $200 will accomplish all that is neces- sary to siart the undertaking and produce working capital until returns come in, As s0on as the merit of the enterprise be- comes evident it will be possible to en- large it to employ many more women, | and perhaps some men. Simpson Zabernacle to Be Sold LOS ANGELES, Car, April 8.—Owing to a heavy mortgage on the great Simpson Tabernacle (Methodist Episcopal) here, the interest on which is now long overdue, | thereisa probability that that property | will soon be sold and pass into the hands | of the First Baptist Church of tbis city. | e iy Missing Witness Found.

One of the Cruiser Philadelphia’s Sailors Foisoned by Drinking Shellac and Water. SAN DIEGO, CaL., April 8 —A squad of | sailors from the flagship Philadelphia came ashore a few nights ago, ani in an uptown saloon one of the party bought a drink which the bartender called ‘‘milk punch.” “That's pretty good,” said one ?! the boys, “‘can’t you give us the recipe?’ The barkeeper good-naturedly complied and on Tuesday the sailors came ashore and bought the supposed ingredients, re- turning aboard in a few hours. Some one blundered, however, for after partaking of the mixture all the men became ill, and bis morning one of their number, Kling Victor, died. Anotner, John Hellman, is very low and two others are so sick that they could not be around for a good many days.
