Miners in Quest of a Claim Whose Owners Were Slain by Indians. WAS REDISCOVERED BUT AGAIN FORGOITEN. Rulins of Cabins In One of Which a Copy of **The Call” of 1873 Was Found. TACOMA, Wasn., June 8.—A party of prospectors has started from Garteld, Whitman County, to find a lost mine in Idaho, from which thousands of dollars were taken a quarter of a century ago. The mine was rediscovered seven years ago, but because of its inaccessibility it was not worked. Beven years ago Lile Hopkins, who is one of the present party and another old settler started from Palouse on the traii of some horse thieves. They followed | them far into tne solitude of the rugged | mountains of Northern Idaho, but finally lost the trail ana their bearings. One evening, while fighting their wa through a tangle of brush and down- timber, they emerged into a canyon sur- rounded on 21l sides by towering and al- most perpendicular mountains, the only entrance being the one through whicn they had come. Here they were surprised to find two weather-beaten log cabins which had partialiy gone toruin, and near by in the channel of a stream that woand its way through the canyon were found rotten sluiceboxes. On the bank was a tightly closed tin box. Oneof the men, out of curiosity, picked itup. In it they found a copy of the San Francisco CaLL bearine a date seventeen years prior to that time and twenty-four years ago now. Neither of the men had had any experi- ence in mining or they would not have le/t without trying to find what was there. 1t was growing late and tuey were anxious to make their way out before They made many plans to go back a: d investigate, but something always uppened to prevent. This season, how- eir interest wasredoubled by learn- nzof atragedy in the Nez Perce war of a quarter of a cenwury ago that points stiongly in the direction of their dis- A vear or two before the breaking out of | e Nez Perce war five prospectors out- el at Lewiston and started into the mountains. Some months later two of them returnea with a big sack of gold and bought a large stock of supplies. Bince that time nothing more has been heard of them. Several years after the war was over the Nez Perce Indians told of five miners being killed by their tribe in the on of the mountains in which this nyon is located. There is every probability that these five victims were the prospectors and that it was their hands that fashioned the now decayea sluiceboxes and the tumble-down cabins. The party now_searching for the lost | mine consists of Lile Hopkins, Jokn Pin- | nell and Frank Kestner, of Garfield, and | Francis Billows of Moscow, Idaho. Hop- | kins velieves he will nave no trouble in locating the spot, as he feels certain that he knows where the little creek that traverses the canyon emnpties, and he will conduct the party up the stream. The route lies over some almostim- penetrable thickets and fallen (imbe: They expect tospend days in cutting their | WAy, progresning at the rate of one or two | miles a day. It will take them several weeks to reach their destination. They expect then 1o work the oid mine and feel certain of large returns, for the Nez Perce Indians have reported for years that from | this canyon gold was once taken in large quantities.

PACIFIC GROVE, Car., June 8.—The xth apnual ression of the Summer School of Natural History opened yester- | day at the Hopkins Seaside Laboratory at The large number of students enrolled upon the first day and the un- usual rapidity with which real work was begun greatly pleased the instructors as giving promise of an exceptionally suc- cessful term. The morring was spent in registration of the pupils, arranging the classes and planning the lines of work to be followed. This year George C. Price, assistant pro-* fessor of zoology at Stanford University, will take charge of the course in zoology. This will consist of the study of the struc- ture, physiology and life histories of typi- cal animal forms, more particularly ma- rine animals. Walter R. Shaw, instructor of botany at Staniord, will zive u course of lectures and assist in the investigation by the students along the line of study of the principal groups ot (comparuatively) fresh- | water and marine plant life, and a vers little side work in land piaut life. These two courses are known as the teachers’ courses and are of great vaiue to those who teach zoology and botany in the Ligh schools or other depariments of school work. The advanced course in morphology, physiology and embryology will be con- ducted by Haroli Heath, fellow in zool- ogy in the University of Pennsyivania, and Professor Frank McFarland of Stan- ford, who is associate tructor here, will conduct the class iu histology. In the afternoon yesterday some collec- tion of specimens from the adjacent rocks and water was done, and the students | busied themselves preparing the speci- | mens for study. The collecting grounds hereabouts are d by scientists to be among the richest the world, and for this reason investi- gators from many of the promineat uni- versities of America and Europe come the excellent ilities for work afforded by this well-equipped laboratory. While really a separate institution the Hopkins laboratory is practically a part of Btanford Unlversity, and is attended by the students of that insutution chiefly, Many gaps which are left by even the most thorough work at the university laboratory from specimens in alcohol may be successiully filled by the students | of marine, plant and animal life, who can get his subjects fresh from the waters of | Monterey Bay. For this reason Timothy Hopkins’ generous gift is considered one of the most valuable adjuncts of Stan- ford’s great institution. About twenty-eignt students were regis- tered on the opening day and applications from many more have been received. The board of directors expect z total enroll- ment of about forty-five this year. SLOWLY BECOMING BLIN Sad Affi.ction of Mrs. Gallaner, Propri- etress of ihe Fac fic Grove Review. PACIFIC GROVE, CaL., June 8. —Mrs, Anne Gallaner, who has for several years edited the Pacific Grove Review, and whose encrgetic management of that paper bas met with more than the usual saccess attending the carrying on of a small paper in a smail town, is the victim of a sad affliction. For several months past she has been unabdle to use her eyes with the constancy her work required, and | irom day to day she went 1o an oculist in After he had consulted h 1wo other speciulists the opizion was given that Mrs, Gallaner was slowly but surely becoming blind. The doctors said if the eye most affected was removed there was a bare possibility of saving the partial sight of the other eye, but that nothing could re- store perfect vision. Mrs. Gailaner’s friends are unwiiling for ber to undergo 8o critical an operation upon the mere chance of being benefited, and are therefore in various ways assist- | ing her with her work. Lastnignt the St. Cecelia Musical Club, of whica Mrs, Gal- laner is a charter memuer, gave her a ben- efit concert. The best local talent, both musical and dramatic, as well as talent from out of town, particivated, and the immense audience that assembled at the | concert hall was more than pleased with the success of the affair, 1 Mrs. Galianer expects to go to San Francisco for treatment during the sum- mer, and in her absence the Review will be under the charge of a friend and her son, George Galianer. s e TRAGEDY AT SAN RAFAEL. Though Dying From the Effects of Poison, Adel Roggenbau Bea's Hs Wite. SAN RAFAEL, CaL, June 8.—Even after taking two ounces of aconite to ter- minate his miserable existence, ana with the deadly poison siowiy eating his life | away, Adel Roggenbau, who lived near West End station, attempted, as was his custom, to beat the life out of hLis faithful wife. To-day bis hifeless body lies on a siab in the morgue. | Roggenbau's domestic life had not been | one of sunshine and roses, but his trouble had been created by himself. At the Coro- ner’s inquest to-day the wife refused to «ay that her bhusband had been in the habit of beating and abusing her, but she admitted thatcccasionally they had “little fights.” Roggenban went to the San Raphael pharmacy, and purchased a bottle of acon- | 1te from T. &, Malone, who testified et the inquest that Roggenbau he wanied it for his horse. Without taking his name the aruggist gave the man the | poison, which afterward caused his death. This is the fourth time that Roggenbau bad attempted suicide. - Two years ago he o Dr. Wickman’s office suf- ferinz from the effects of poison. Twice aiterward, once with poison and again with a pistol, he tried to end his life. " He only five monihs. sears his senior. —— SAN DIEGO BURGLAR WOUNDED.

Paterson, a wealthy miner, at about 2 o’clock this morning. Paterson was away from home at the time, but the noise awakened his father- in-law, G. L. Clews, who was sleaping on the first tioor. The old gentleman arose, dressed, 100k his shotgun and got out of the house Dy a rear door, without attract- ing the atiention of the burglars. He stole around the corner of the house and bad leveled the weapon at one of the prowlers, as he was about to crawl through the window, when the other saw him and drew his revolver. The old man discharged both barrels of hissbotgun, and the robbers, aiter shooting once, ran away, leaving a revolver behind. Lar:e spots ot blood on the grass show that one of the men was wounued. Mr, Clews is 73 years of age. The widow is twenty | key of gold. | sai SONDRA GIVES 0P HER KEY OF GOLD Emblem of Hospitality Presented to Native Daughters.

This the first time in the history of our county that any grand body has met within its con- fines, and there is none that we shall ever more gladly welcome than the Na Daugh- ters o1 the Golaen West.

Mor'gage on the Parkhurst Property Held by a Los Angeles Bank Is De- clared to Be Invalid. FRESNO, Can, June 8—Judge Risley of the Superior Court has rendered a de- cision declaring to be invalid a $12,000 mortgage, held by the Bank of Southern *Californta, located at Los Angeles, on the valuable vineyard formeriy owned by D. W. Parkhurst, near Fowler, in this county. The Judge based his decision upon the belief that coilusion was prac- ticed 1u the execution of the mort age. He says tnat the allegations of the com- plaint as to the collusion and fraud and the scheme on the part of the deiendant bank, its agents and attorneys, with the trustees, D. W. Parkhurst and wife, to subject the trust property to the pay- ment of the trustees’ debts, are estab- lished to the entire satisfaction of the court. In 1887, Parkhurt and wife deeded their vineyard to their minor children, the parents appointing themselves trustees. The trastees had authority to dispose of the property in the interest of their chil- dren, but were prohibited from mortgag- ingit. In 1591 Parkburst needed money and decided to mortgage the trust prop- erty. Collusively he and his wife trans- ierred the vineyard to Mrs. Asbury, and she negotiated tne loan from the bank. Recently the bank brought suit of fore- closure and the property was sold by a commissioner. Then the minor children brought suit. charging their own parents with baving frauaulently mortgaged their property. Parkhurst occupied a peculiar position in instigatinz the suit in which his child- dren charged him with trying to defraud them of their property. He did this to beat the bank. L FRESWNO SOCIETY AGOG. County Surveyor Hoxie Is Granted a D vorce on the Ground of Cruelty. FR 0, Car., June 8.—George L. Hoxie, the County Surveyor, was to-day granted a divorce from Eila J. Hoxie on the ground of cruelty. The suit was in- stituted only a few days ago, and very quietly. It was brought to a conclusion with dis- patch, and the meager tales of cruelty in- flicted by the wife upon her husbana were few, and were related to Judge Webb quickly. The defendantdid not resist the su 'he case has been the subject of much talk about tha city during the past week, for the Surveyor has seemed disposed to make widely known the troubles between himself and wife. He said that his complaint did not em- brace all the grievances he had against ber, and that if necessary he coula prefer some scandalous charges. Yet in his suit he desired only a separation, and consid- ered the charge of cruelty sufficient. This cruelty, it was brougnt out at the | trial, consisted of the failure of Mrs. Hoxie to cook breakfast for the plaintiff and like offenses. Mrs. Hoxie stood ready to meet any scandalous charges against her with ac- cusations of & similar nature, and had not a peaceable course been arranged for the trial the wife would probabiy haveentered a cross-complaini, waich would have made a very disagreeable case out of it. Others would have been involved. Mrs. Hoxie says she once intercepted a letter to0 her husband from a lady who moves in bigh society circles here, Mr. Hoxie 1.as resided in Fresno County for many years and is well known and well connected, some of his relatives being among the prominent people of the county He was married to Mrs. Hoxie, who had been a Mrs. Simmons, in Tulare nine yearsago. Owing to the prominence ot the two the suit has caused a big stir a society circles. According to the terms of the agree- ment between them Mr. Hoxie gives to bis divorced wife their residence and $60 a mon:h alimony for a period of nineteen | mounths. —_——— | WAR ON FRESNO LOTTERIES. Officers Succeed i Placing a Check Upon the ga/ Chinese Games. FRESNO, Car., June 8.—The police are | succeeding very well in their crusade against the lotteries in Chinatown. The vian of procedure decided upon a about a week ago, 1o stop them by destroying all the tickeis and paraphernalia at the places where the tickets were sold, has provea very effective. Policemen Ander- son and Parker have confiscated thou- sands of the blanks, torn :hem up and cast them to the winds. The officers are maintaining a strict watch and the re- sult 1s that the unlawful business is stoppedq, a condition which has not been experienced in Chinatown for many years. ‘The destructioa of the tickets by the officers serves to alarm all patrons. Wuen the tickets and the duplicates are de- stroyed, the purchasers have nothing to represent their money, and no one cares to make the risky investment when it is known that the police are apt to interfere at any moment. The resuit has been that there is a general ation of all kinds of busi- ness in Chinatown. The merchants in of tne law and even American citizens who own bui.dings and rent them in that | portion of the city are complaining. But the authorities are determined that the lotteries must be closed. An example of the determination of the Chinese to evade the lJaw was Lrought | out in Recorder Clark’s Court yesterd: Ah Hong, arrested overa year ago for selling ticket:, was not punished for his | offense until yesteriay, when the court |imposed a fine of $25, 'which was paid.

Cutting Affray in the Barroom of a Stockton Steam~- ship. Spectators Kick the Assailant of an Unoffending Man Into Insensibllity. STOCKTON, Caw., June 8.—Dr. John H. Decker, a San Francisco dentist, who has offices in the Phelan building, was stabbed last nignt by a Fresno mining man named William McNulty in the barroom of the steamship J. D. Peters. Two wounds were inflicted, one an ugly gash across the forehead and the other a deep thrustin the back of the left shoulder at the base of the neck. Neither is serious, but both are painful and have caused considerable soreness and inflammation. The affray occurred at 11 o'clock. Me- Nulty was under the influence of liquor, and a number of persons in the barroom began to *‘josh” him. Fired to sudden anger he drew a claspknife, with a blade three inches long, and retaliated on the first individual in reach. This happened to be the San Francisco dentist, Dr. Decker would have been no match for the mining man, even had the latter not been armed, for McNulty is of large proportions and evidently of grest physical strength. At the first lunge with knife Mc- Nulty slashed the scalp opew on the den- ust’s torebead, and Decker staggered and dropped his head as though falling for- ward. At that instant McNulty dealt him an- other blow wiih the knife, the piade pene- trating at the base of the neck. He aimed a third blow at the dentist, but just at that critical instant Captain McMurtrie felled the mining man to the floor. The bystanders set upon the prostrate man and kicked him aimost into insensi- bility, so incensed were those in the bar- room over the spectacle they had just witnessed. Dr. Decker went on to Merced, and would not prosecute his assailant. e e AFTER THE CORPORATIONS. san Joaquin County’'s Assessor Begine an Inguisition. STOCKTON, Cav., June 8.—The leading corporations of San Joaquin County were recently summoned to send representa- tives to County Assessor Ortman’s office to be quizzea as to their taxable property. The inquisition began to-day. Among the corporations to which notifications were sent were the two telegraph com- panies—the Western Union and the Pa- cific Postal—the Sunset Telephone Com- pany, the Stockton Gas and Eiectric Com- pany, the Stockton Water Company, the street railway corporation and the natural gas well companies. In the case of corporations distributing by means of pipes, the Assessor wanted to know how much had, and the size of the pive; how much it cost todig the trenches to lay it, the expense of filling those trenches in and repairing dug-up streets, how many meters were out, how miich each cost and what the ordinary life of s meter was. The natural gas companies *‘kicked” at the jdea of assessing the wells themselves, declaring that they were simply holes in tbe ground—in other words, subterranean vacuities—and they declared that the As- sessor had no right to assess a vacuity. Ortman was struck by the logic of this argument and agreed in the assertion that he should not assess a vacuum; but he ar- gued the well increased the value of the lot in which it was dug, and consequently the lot ought to be assessed correspond- ingly higher. Seael e i A PHETTY GIRL. KISSED When His Beating. STOCKTON, CarL, Porto, an Italian woman, walked all the way from the Roberts Island bridge this morning, carrying her baby in her arms. She claimed that her husband, R. Le Porto, bad vrutally beaten her iast nignht and this morning, and she wanted a war- rant for his arrest for battery. Last evening, said the woman, her hus- band was kissing a pretty. aark-eyed girl, who was staying at their home, and the wife naturally remonstraied with him. Sne told him that such conduct was not the proper thing for & married man. Le Porto insisted upon planting osculations upon tne ruby lips of the dark-eyed eauty, utterly ignoring his spouse. When Mrs. Le Porto remonstrated with bim further he turned upon her, accord- ing to her story, and gave her a severe drubbing. Le Porto will be arrested. INDICTED 4T LOS 4NGELES.

Pooirooms Will B: termitted 0 Continue m Operation Wittout Inter- ference. SAUSALITO, CaL., June 8.—The pool: rooms conducted by Harrison & Co. and Zeke Abraham will be permitted to con- tinue operations for some time witnout | fear of interference from the town author- ities. Ata meeting of the Town Trustees last night, at which President Jobn H Dickinson, C.C. Bruce and O. C. Miller were present, the report of Prosecutinu Attorney Adolph Sylva was read by Clerk J. H. Pryor. Itsetiorth that both pool- men had been arrested and tried, the jury in each case disagreeing, and it was the opinion of the Prosecuting Attorney tha no conviction could be obtained, as the feeling in the town was equally divided. In harsh language it criticized the action of the citizens subpenaed to be present in court for jury duty in not responding and In every way attempting to evade the u'y. | The Town Hall was well filled. The ac- | tion of the Trustees i regard to the faro games, poolrooms and other gambiing eagerly awaited, but all were doomed to disappointment. The subject was no sooner brought up than the president put it over until the next meeting of the board, saying that owing tothe existing senti- | ment, the difficulty to obtain a convic- tion and the fact that the citizens did not volunteer to do jury duty or else refused 10 carry out the law, it would be justas well to let the question go over. | Prosecuting Attornev Sylva can donoth- ing. To try cases againstthe poolmen which result only in disagreements of the juries costs the towra considerable and accomplishes nothing. 1f faro games are | started in defiance of the town authorities arrests will be made. Noi only will the principals be arrested, but the players as well, and if the town authorities fail to close the resorts the county officials will take a hand. No attempt was made to- day to close the games. b el S ORO GRAND:. EXPLOSION, One Man Killed and 1wo Injured by the Bursting of a Boiler.
