Nevada County is more firmly trenched as the banmer county of the Bidte than ever before. The remarkable advance shown in the past yearis aue to the increased interest shown and comes almost entirely from the old producers. The splendid record of Tuolumne County isdue to the same cause. San Diego, with an increased production of $216,270 43, is a surprise, though tke re- sult astonishes no one familiar with tue activity displayed in the opening of new mines in the rich new Colorado River re- gion. Kern County, with an increased output of $359,433 41, makes a notable record and one that will amazo many who are unuc- | quainted with its resources.

Mrs. May Lelietre attemnted suicide | early yesterday morning at her rooms, 909 'i'his Outline Map Shows the Cities and Railroad Captured by Drummond and His Line of March Toward the Capital, formal possession of the railway between Puerto Certez, with all the cars and loco- motives. This railroad 1Is miles long, and is very important when the subjugation of the republic is consid- ered. It appears that as Drummond advanced with his determined followers he had things virtually his own way. The troops deserted their standards, and at one time 600 men fled to the woods. Dr. E. Calderon, the Consul-General of Honduras, Nicaragua and Salvador, was considerably interested in the foray of Drummond. He said the last correspond- ence he had was to the effect that affairs were quiet in Honduras, It costs 70 cents a word by teiegraph and cable to get news from Tegucigalpa. All the dispatches come by way of Galvestun. *‘I bave heard a number of times about this man Drummond,” said F. de Mi- randa, one of the owners of the ship Mad- elaine and operator of big oil wells in Peru, “The trouble is the same that bas been agitating the couuntry at times for several years. It originated at Belize, I never met Mr. Drummond, however.”” Honduras is a beautiful little country, about twice as big as Ban Bernardino County, has very good mines, s fine cl mate and rich soil adapted to the growing of coffee, tobacco, corn and tropical fruits, The biggest town is Tegucigalpa, with about 16,000 rs?nle.

The Investigation of the Matter Held Be'ore the Railroad Commission. Two Railroal Presidents oa the Witness-Stand—McCue Conducts the Examination. Shall the round-trip fare between San Francisco and S8an Rafael and all inter- mediate points be reduced to 25 cents, and shall the men's monthly commutation tickets between the same points be re- duced to $3, the amount charged for women, were the two issues that were pre- sented to the Railroad Commission yes- terday. These questions were raised in the com- plaint filed scme weeks ago by James S, McCue against the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad and the North Pacific Coast Railroad. This charged that Corte Madera was discriminated against, as the iare from San Francisco to San Rafael, a considerably longer distance than from San Francisco to Corte Madera, was the same as b:tween San Francisco and Corte Madera; that discrimination was practiced in charging men $ for monthly commutation tickets and women only $3, and that discrimination also ex- isted in making a round-trip rata of 25 cents between San Francisco and San Ra- iael to members of the Schuetzen Club. McCue was present in person and was permitted 1o conduct the examination. | Jesse W. Lilienthal represented the San | Francisco and North Pacific Railroad and C. P. Eells appeared for the North Pacific Coast. President A. W. Foster of the San Fran- North Pacitic was the first wi ness called. He at once put McCue on record as having made a statement that the road of which wiiness is president was not making any money. Oan this ground alone, he ciaimed, the complaint so far as it concerned the road ought to be dis- missed. In response to questions by McCue, Toster testitied that the fars from San Francisco to San Clemente, four miles this side of San Rafael, was 50 cenis, the same as the fare from Sun Francisco to San Rafael; that the same rate ‘was charged to Greenbrae and to Ssn Quentin; that the share of the railroad in the fare to San Quentin was25 cents, the other 25 cents £oing to the siage line between Greenbrae and San Quentin; that an excursion rate of 25 cents for the round trip between San Francisco and San Rafael was granted to the members of the Schuetzen Club, the members aud attendants of the military academy at San Rafael and the inmates of the convent at the same place; thata $5 commautation rate was charged jor men between San Francisco and San Rafael, 4 i and a $3 rate for women between thesame points. The reason women were cranted a lower rate than men, he explained. was because many women did not use their tickets more than ten or a dozen times a month. He also explained thit the reason for charging haif-rates on Sundays for return tickets to points north of San Rafael and full existing rates to San Rafael and points this side of it was that San Rafael had already been given the benefit of such a reduction. The reduced rates on Sun- day were made to encourage suburban travel. J. B. Stetson, president of the North Pacific Coast Rsilroad, was next sworn. In the course of his examination he stated that the fare from San Franciseo to Corte | Madera was 50 cents and from Srn Fran- cisco 1o Mill Valley it was 40 cents, although the distance was about the same from Sun_Francisco to either point. He also tes:ified that men’s monthly commu- tation tickets between San Francisco and Corte Madera were sold for $5 and be- tween San Francisco and Mill Valley for $4. This difference in the charge, he said, was due to the greater cost of construc- tion of the maiu line on which Corte Ma- dera is located. Tue tunnel through which_the road passes before reaching Corte Madera, he in ormed the commis- sion, cost abont $160,000; the branch to Mill' Valley runs along bottom land. President Stetson also admitted to favor- ing the ladies who traveled over his road with a $3 rate for commutation tickets be- tween Sun Rafael and San Francisco. McCue took the stand and atiempted to show by figures, which he said had been prepared by an experi, the cost of con- struction of theNorth Pacific Coast road. An objection was made by Attorney Eelis to the introduction of these figures unless it was fiust shown that the person who prepared the statement was qualified 1o testify as an expert. McCue did not have his expert present nor did_he condescena to name him. The commission sustained the objection and McCue abandoned all attempt to go into construction cost, in- terest charges and other similar da He said he was willing to leave the whole matter to the judgment and discretion of the commission. This closed theé presentation of testi- e opened the argument. He claimed there was discrimination against Corte Madera and against mate passen- gers on the North Pacific Coast road, and asked that the round-trip rate between San Francisco ana San Rafael and all in- termediate points be reduced to 25 cents, and that the discrimination against male ssengers be properly adjusted by re- gl‘xcin. commutations to them to $3. He also_made the same piea in reference to the San Francisco and North Pacific road. He made the cl sed, and that the Sunday half rate should be made 10 apply to all points. He asserted that there would be 10,000 more people in Marin County in two years if fares were reduced. Attorney Lilienthal claimed that so far as tneroad he represented was concerned, McCue was not a resident of any point on the road, and therefore had no standing before the commission. He denied there was any discrimination, and held that in- asmuch as it had been admitted by the prosecuting witness that the road was los- ing 1noney the commission could not justly reduce any of its rates. He con- tended that as the women commuters used their tickets only a small portion of the month, they would be properly con- sidered a different class of passengers from men, who used their tickets daily. Eells argted on the same lines and claimed further that the constitution gave the companies the right to make ex- cursion and commutation rates without regard to the clause prohibiting discrim- inations. McCue closed the argument without making any new point, and the matter was taken under advisemen . Th road people claim that the sale of commutation tickets is nota ac- cording to the constitution, and that the; have the right to withdraw such tickets and put in a new schedule for commuters. It the $3 rate to women is held to be a discrimination it is probable that it will be raised to $5, and the representatives of both companies claim they could not stand a reduction of the commutation rate to men.
