4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 185‘7. PIONEERS OF UTAH LEBRAT Great Rally at the Once Famous Capital of the Mormons. CROWDS INVADE SALT LAKE CITY. Unvelling and’ Dedication of a Monument to Brig- ham Young. FOUNDERS OF THE PROSPEROUS COMMONWEALTH REJOICE. Twenty Thousand Spectators Hear a Choir of a Thousand Voices at the Tabernacle. SALT LAKE, Utag, July 20.—The in- itial day of the pioneer celebration which is to last ivedays opened cool and pleas- ant, and 15,000 strangers are within this city’s gates. Great crowds of people thronged the streets al! the time and the holiday infection rested upon every one. Every incoming train added to the crowds, and at the time of the electric illumination last night, it is estimated that there were between 20,000 and 30,000 visitors in the city. Every detail of the first day’s programme was carried out perfectly and the introductory exercises avgured most favorably for the delizhtful features of the ceiebration which witl fol- low. The ceremonies attending the un- veiling and dedication of the monument to Brigham Young and the pioneers, in the morning, the reception to the surviv- ing ptoneers at the Tabernacle in the af- ternoon and the grand concert at the same piace in the evening were the feat- ures of the day. After the firing of the several salutes the exercises of the day commenced with the assembling of the pioneers at Pioneer square at 9 o’clock in the morning. Some of the scenes there were most interesting. Old friends who had not seen each other for years had the opvortunity to renew their scquaintance and happy congratula- tions were indulged in on every hand. At 10 o'clock a line of march was formed and | the procession moved down Main street to the monument. The pioneers were es- corted by a long procession. After the usual ceremonies of unveiling, the monu- ment was presented formally to the State and accepted by Governor Wells in a brief address. Noless than 20,000 people wit- nessed the simple ceremonies. William Jennings Bryan’s appearance on the stand, at the base of the monument, was the signal for a yell that could have been heard a mile away, and as he shook hands with the venerabie president of the Mor- mon church, who was one of the first to enter the valley fifty years ago next Satur- day, the applause was renewed. A promi- nent feature of the ceremonies was an ad- dress by Brigham Young, who is director- general of the jubilee, and the oldest living son of the man whose statue he stood at the base of. Pioneer Woodruff pulled the cord that loosened the American flag surrounding the heroic figure of Utah’s founder and, in a rather weak voice, lost entirely in the booming of cannon, blowing of steam whistles and patriotic music from a dozen bands, he said: “In the name of God I unveil this statue.”” At the conclusion of the cere- monies at the statue the pioneers were taken to the Tabernacle, where a few sim- ple ceremonies were had, and each of the pilgrims who founded Utah fifty years ago ‘was presented with a gold badge or medal struck for the oceasion. Ia the evening the streets presented a scene such as is scarcely ever seen in the West outside of 8an Francisco. Huadreds of red, white and sage-green incandescent lights btazed on the public thorougnfares, while thousands of others flashed from | business houses and private dwellings. A concert in the Tabernacle, attended by 20,000 spectators, and at which the | great choir of 1000 voices rendered the *‘Ode to the Pioneers,” closed the day’s | festivities. The principal feature of to- morrow will be the pageantof progress, contrasting the Utah of the past with the Utah of io-da; SENTA COMVENTION, Christian Women Endeavor Work. SANTA CRUZ, Car, July 20.—A fea- tureof the morning service ot the Chris- tian Church convention was a auartet by fourof the Glee Club of the Abingdon | Christian College of more than forty years ago.

SANTA BARBARA, Cav., July 20.—In- dications polnt directly to the Standard Oil buying sections of Santa Barbara County which show oil producing strata. They have had an option for some time on alarge section near La Patera, a district to the north of this place. For a aumber of weeks the Standard Oil Company has had men pron{:cung the country back of Carpinteria, tween the Rincon and Coyote rivers. t is the opinion of old oil men that the fountain-head of the oil veins of this sec- Ahotw the Growth of | tion lies in the mountains back of Santa Barbara.

Discoverers of the Sentmel Station Claim | Tel/ of the Hzrdships They Endured. | PH@ENIX, Aniz, July 20.—The reported | discovery of the famous lost California mine near the Mexican border is creating a good deal of interest here. John F. James and Henry Blake, who claim to be the discoverers, tell quite a wonderful | story of their hardships on the southern desert and of the remarkable richness of the mine. They say the great mine lies | about fiity milessouth of Sentinel station, |on the Southern Pacitic. They admit, however, that it lies in an absolutely waterless region, butclaim that the ore is of such richness that it will pay hand- somely to haul water. Bpecimens of ore exhibited by them far more than bear out this statement. James and Blake had been prospecting in thesouthern part of the Territory for some time, and in their wanderings heard a good deal about the wonderful Califor- nia mine located and worked about thirty years ago by a prospector named Horcoyt, who had gone to Sen Francisco to interest a company of capitalists in his find. Suortly after his arrival in the metropolis Horcoyt died in his room at the Russ House, but not until he had given a de- scription of the mine toa couple of friends, who have ever since been searching for the lost bonanza. It1sa fact well known here that there are at present in Phcenix two San Franciscans who have spent years in searching for Horcoyt's mine. These men have been unsuccessful, but undaunted, and were planning to return to the region immediately after the hot weather and re- sume their long search. It was from a point on the Mohawk Range that James claims to have caught his first glimpse of the lost mine through a fieldglass. What he thought he saw through the glass was a large stone house on the ridge where he thought the lost mine was located. Boththe men traveled as nearto this range as they could with- | out getting too far away from water, and then James left Blake and traveled on alone with what water he could carry in a canteen, After reaching the foothills of the ridge James walked some miles through a wash and came to burrow tracks, These he followed and they led him to the shaft of thelost mine. This shaft was not very deep and the ore did not horn very rich. He went farther and found a cache containing a number of crucibles, and near this was a small forge. Not far from the forge he came across a second shaft, about fifty feet deep, and in this he found ore of immense richness. On the level was float ore that horned several thousanas of dollars to the ton. James says he suffered agonies while exploring his discovery, for water was un- attsinable and his canteen was empty. He managed, however, to carry back with him enough of the precious ore to enable bim and his partner to fit themselves out in fine shave for a return to the mine, and this they are now doing at Pheeaix. i GRASS VALLEY INHERITANCE. Arthur McDonald's $15,000 Estate Dis- iribu:ed Among Numerous Relatives. NEVADA CITY, Car, July 20.—Ac- cording to a press dispateh published here this evening John McDonald, an honest coal-miner of Jeansville, Pa., has been de- luded into thevbelief that when his uncle of Grass Valley died last month he left the poor Pennsylvanian $75,000 immedi- ately available and also providea for him alarge annual allowance. The factis that Arthur McDonald left an estate worth less than $15,000. The will, in which Rev. Father Lynch is named as executor, has just been filed in the County Clerk’s office. It bequeaths $25 to nephew John Markay of New York City, tnis slizht being occasioned by Markay's failure to give a cordial reception to the brother of the dead man when that brother went back to the States from Gress Valley two years ago, wearing common clothes and giving out that the California members of the family were poor. The rest of the $15,000is to be distrib- uted share and share alike to George Mc- Donald and Catherine Hart of Grass Vi ley, brother and sister of the deceased, the nephew, John McDonald of Jeans- { ville, Rose Conolly of Omaba, Huch Markay, Michael Markay and Bessie Me- Donala of Ireland, nephews and nieces. —_— PLYLER’S 84N JOSE ESTATE.

Said to Have Caused the Con- flagration Which Razed a Dozen Homes. Arrests of Others Believed to Have Been Implicated Will Soon Follow. RED BLUFF, Car., July 20.—Sheriff Bogard to-day arrested William Wood- ward, who lives near Hooker Creek, on a complai nt charging him with the crime of arson. The complaint sets forth that ‘Woodward willfully burned ahouse belong- ing to T. 8. Swain, one of the houses which were destroyed during the fire which burned many miles of country here on Baturaay and Sunday. The complaint is equivalent to charging Woodward with having started that fire. The people of the Hooker couniry be- lieve Woodward to ba guilty, and will prosecute the case vigorously. Woodward is 18 years old. He claims he can easily establish his innocence. More arrests may he made soon, as offi- cers are investigating the matter thor- oughly, as it is believed others besides young Woodward had something to do with the fires. e TULES ABLAZE NEAR LODIL Hundreds of Bushels of Grain in the Stack Destroyed. LODI, CAr. 3 July 20.—A tule fire west of here creating much excitement and consternation among farmers in that re- gion. It has been burning since Sunday. Hundreds of bushels of grain in the stack has been burned, and considerable hay destroved. In addition to the stubble and tule grass burning, the ground itself ison fire. It is of a peat-like formation and burns to ashes through the water. Ditches have been opened in an attempt to flood the burning ground and men are working to dig a ditch to water in order to surround the fire. The water is only five feet below the surface. The loss so far hss been mainly on the Maul and Filzgerald ranches. e Conflagrations Around Sonoma. SONOMA, CarL, July 20.—Another large forest fire has brokem out in the moun- tains west of this place. About 10 o’clock this morning a small column of smoke was noticed risingz from near the top of Sonoma Mountain, be- tween this place and Petaluma. By noon a large grass and timber fire was sweeping over the country. The side of the mountain is in plain sight from town, about four miles distant, and it looks like one wall of fire. The principal damage so far is to pastures and to wood and fenc: TOMBSIONE'S MESIERY. Supposed Treasure-Hunters Delve for a Cacha Within the City Limits, TOMBSTONE, Ariz., July 20.—Mysteri- ous treasure-hunters have been haunting this city for the past few days. No one seems to know who they are nor where they came from. There were four in the party, all recent arrivals and unknown to the oidest inhabitants. They brought a camping outfit with them and did not register at the hotel. For several days they were seen digging and searching in the neighborhood of the old Monmonier residence at the foor of Fifth street and in the vicinity of the now deserted swim- ming-tanks. All sorts of rumors were rife concerning buried treasvre, but no one succeeded in learning any of the particulars of the search. Yesterday the digging ceased suddenly and the strangers soon prepared to break camp. One of them stated defi- nitely that they had secured wbat they had come after, but no further informa- tion was given out. Their visit and mys- terious working never aroused more than a curious interest among the residents here, who are trained to mind their own business, and they were not disturbed or molested in their work, The supposition is that in some manner they got trace of a valuable cache, the re- sult of some successful robbery committed during the flush times of Tombstone— more than one ot which is known to exist in or near this c.ty. — Santa Cruz Residence Burned. SANTA CRUZ, Car., July 20.—David Amaya's cottage on Day street was totally desiroyed by fire to-night. The telephone connections refused to work, and the Fire Department did not learn the location of the blaze until the dwelling was in ruins, but it arrived in time to save the adjoin- ing buoildings. Amaya’s loss will run up into the thousands, his residence having been elegantly furnished. The family was away from home when the confl iera- tion started, aud nothing was saved. They had leit a lamp burning near an open win- dow, and it is supposed this was responsi- ble for the blaze, e i (e Dudley Will Mtop at San Dlego.

Numerous Prominent Victims of the Los Angeles Napoleon of Finance. LOS ANGELES, CAL, July 20.—The wonderful financiering of young John W. Kapus, former clerk of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, who on a capital of nothing succeeded in acquiring a debt of nearly $40,000, is the talk of vhe city. In the face of accusations of forgery against some one the young man maintains his nonchalant air, claiming that he was act- ing only as the agent of asyndicate en- gagad in buying approved vouchers of the steamship company. 1If the vouchers were forged, says young Mr. Kapus, the work must have been done by one 8. C. Vincent, who, he says, repre- sented himself as the company’s claim agent. He reiterates this, although it is learned that Vincent ia & mythical per- sonage. The faith of some of the nolders of the vouchers denounced by the company as forgeries is something sublime, if it is real, for they assume to believe their claims will be paid because other vouchers exactly like them were paid before. ‘What spoils that hope is the fact that, thought it is true the lier vouchers of the same form were paid, the money did not come from the company, but from | Kapus, who had raised it from later spec- uiators to pay the earlier ones. This put him deeper in the holeand eventually leit | anumber of supposedly shrewd business men holding the sack. So far as beard irom the losers on young Kapus' financiering scheme and the amounts they invested are: Dr. C. T. Pepper, $18,000; S. Nordlinger, $7400; Judge W. H. Clark of the Superior Court, $2600; Dr. C. A. Kuns, $3000; Dr. F. M. Ainsworth, amount unknown, but sup- posed to be $2000, and two other unnamed persons holding $1800 and $500 respec- | tively. Some of the holders of the vouchers feel deeply chagrined over the publicity given the matter, for most of them considered themselves shrewd business men, not easily caught on a wildcat scheme. They held a meeting to-day to discuss a policy, and determined that as young | Kapus, who calls himself a broker, is | ‘‘broke,”” and the steamship company dis- owns all knowledge of any responsibility for the vouchers, and nothing can be | made by beginning a criminal action against any person for forgery, they can- not do anything for themselves. As the steamship company has lost nothing, there is no fear of prosecution from that guarter. Young Kapus was on the streets to-day as blithe as ever and exhibited no fear of the consequences of nis peculiar finan- ciering. = e MISTAKES A BOY FOR A WILDCAT. Los Angeles Sportsman F.ras at a Moy- ing Obj:ct on a Tree and Fatally Wounds a Chid. LOS ANGELES, CaAr., July 20.—A party of Los Angeles sportsmen, including George W. Whitney, a produce merchant, passed Sunday in bunting doves on the Lankershim ranch, north of this city. ‘While in pursuit of game one of the party saw what he mistook for a wildeat in a tree and fired both barrels of his shot- gun at the moving object. To the horror of the members of the party, a small boy fell from the tree to the #zround. The charge of shot had taken effect in the lad’s face and left breast. The boy is Marvin Gilbert, the 10-year- old son of a rancher living near where the shooting occurred. The father will come to the city to-morrow to see if proceedings can be instituted against the careless sportsmen. The boy is expected to die, = et SO BINER CREEDE’S WILL FILED. Total Value of His Estate Shewn to Be but $250,000—His Widcw Not Mentioned. LOS ANGELES, Car., July 20.—A wiil of the late N. C. Creede was filed for pro- bate to-day, the document having been discovered by the dead miner’s attorney. The total of the bequests shows a fur- ther diminution of the fortune of the miner, whose wealth was once estimated in the millions, for a simple sum in addi- tion shows the estate to be worth only about $250,000. All of this, excepting about $56,000, is left to little Dorothy, the adopted child. Creed’s sister, Mrs. W. N. Phifer, is left $6000 in cash and the Tally-ho stables, valued at $35000. To his nephew, Sher- man Phifer, he leaves $9000 in cash and Maggie Kearney, the nurse of a deceased adopted daughter, is given $1000. Three bequests go to the Harvey brotn- ers. M.C. Harvey is to receive $1500, Jerome Harvey $4000 and J. W. Harvey day night before sailing for Callao Mon- day or Tuesday next. & 200 §1. The last named is well off, which fact | | | nized them as gillnet fishermen. Creede recites, but says he mentions his name to prove that he did not forget him. The widaw is not mentioned 1n the will. Mrs. Creede is beginning an active cam-, paign for the estate of her husband. She issuing for hershare as a widow, and also for equity as a partner, alleging that Creede’s mining discoveries were as much hers as Creede's.

CHRISTIAN MISSION BURNED, Women and Children Barely Escape Death at the Honds of Chiese Fanatics. VANCOUVER, B. C, July 20. —On Wednesday evening, June 9, a riot broke out in Wuchen, on the Bayang Lake, and inavery short time the buildings occupied by the Plymouth brethren, with all their effects, were a total ruin. The riot began at the ladies’ home and boarding school just as the inmates were on the eve of repairing to the chapel for their evening services. The fanatics raised the ery: “Kill the women—they have buried Chinese children in their yard."” While the door leading to the girls’ school was being battered down the women and girls were making their escape out of a back door into a narrow alley. Some of the native Christians con- tended with the mob, thus delaying it for a time and enabling the women and giris to get away. They hid in the woods until they could get to boats. ‘When the mob saw that the women had escaped it they tore down, burned and destroyed every vestige of the mission. It then made for a Catholic mission near by, but was headed off by soldiers, who, 1n their blundering haste, discov- ered the Methodist missionaries escaping in the dark, challenged them and rushed at them with swords. The missionaries narrowly escaped death. — . PACIFIC 6RO GEADUATES. Diplomas Awarded to the 97 Chautau- qua Class.
