Excitement in Sonora, Mcxico, Cver Rich Strikes Fecengly Made by Frospectors. NQGALES, Ariz., July 30.—News comes of a rich gold and copper discovery in the Ajo Mountains in Sonora, Mexico. W. H. Randall returned on Saturday, bringing rock that assays heavy in copper, with fine streaks of the yellow metai in a free state. The ores exhibited by Randall, as well as the investigations of other per- sons recently in the same vicinity, have resulted in quite a little excitement for the Ajo district. Average assays of eight feet croppings show 22 per cent copper and $1032 a ton in gold, with a strong ledce cropving out for several hundred feet—this from one of Randall’s claims. William C. Miller. of Brookline is interested extensively and is now preparing to work his rich find on an exhaust.ve scale. Miller has a cattle ranch within eight miles of the district and has known for years of the value of the ores to be found there, but until quite recently he has been unable to do any pros ting on account of the hostile Indians. Now that the savages have been dr.ven out of these 'nountains scores of min-rs and prospectur are geitine ready to o into the mineral z-ne and locae its hidden treasures. There will be no Klon- dyke excitement in this neighborhood for many days to come. The new district les in asortof tri- angle formed by the Bisbee, Nacosari and Cananea copper mines, and in the richest mineral beit in Sonora. Not only is cop- per very abundant in this belt, but in the new district gold float has been discov- ered at diffeent timss on and very near to the claims now located by Messrs. Ran- dail and Miller. Not long ago one party picked up a chunk of float that as- sayed $16,000 to the ton. Mr. Neer of the Mexicana found a piece of float that went $4000 to the ton. The claims aiready located in the Ajo district lie about 120 miles from Nogales and 70 miies from Bisbee. There is an abundance of good water and grass. The scenery is very beautiful and the moun- tains are full of all sortsof wild game. The formation in which the Randall property lies is porphyry and lime. — .

Lose the Trail and Fall Into an Icy Gorge Forty Feet in Depth. Rescued With Great Difficuity—One of the Men Is Still Un- consclous. TACOMA, Wasn., July 30.—Two more climbers were injured while descending Mount Rainier on Wednesday evening, the night after Professor McClure’s fatal fall. Henry Ainshe and George Rogers of Portland fell into a crevice while pick- ing their way from Camp Muir to Camp Mazama. This accident occurred very near the place where Professor McClure fell. They lost the trail, as did McClure, and were endeavoring to find i1, when both fell together into a crevice so ner- row thatat a depth of about forty feet their bodies became wedzed between the ice walls, Rogers received the greatest injury, fer his head struck one side of the crevice and he wuas rendered unconscious. Ains- lie was cut on the heacd, but he was able to make his way out and descend to Camp Mazama. He then led four others back 10 the crevice and about daylight Rogers was pulled up, after remaining in his per- 1lous position several hours. He was car- ried to Camp Mazama, but yesterday afternoon was still unconscious. The doc- tors who are members of the pariy are at- tending him. H. O. Piercy, who returned to-day, made the ascent Tuesday, accompanied by five others. He reports that one of his party, William Pierce of Pendleton, Or., was badly frizhtened on reaching the Gib- raltar icefield. Pierce made the misiake of looking backward over precipitous slopes and became_so scared as to be un- ableto continue. He was lieft in a pro- tected place while his party made the ascent. It was thought that day that his mind was partially unbalanced by the experience. The side of the mountain between Gibraltar Rock and the top, or at least 5000 feet of the ascent, is this year one great field of glassy ice. This has added to the difficulties of c/imbing, mak- ing it necessary to cut steps in the ice. Four sorrowing brothers will reach Bugene, Or., to-night. They are Walter, Henry and Horace McClure, aud a fourth brother who resides at Spokane. They accompany Professor McClure’s body, which arrived here this morning. remains were somewhat bruised, caused by the terrible fail, the left eye being closed and badly disclored. Many other bruises were apparent. At €amp Mazama an autop was held by Doctors E. Weldon Young of Seattle and Wilham F. Amos of Portland, and resolutions of sympathy for the family of the prolessor were passed by the society. GUING 20 SEE {HE& PRESIDENT, An Alaska Indian Chirf Who Wants Better Laws.

Talks of the Tariff Bill and Its Ben- efits to the Fruit-Growers of This State. STOCKTON, CAL, July 30.—Congress- man Marion de Vries arrived here from Washington last nignt. In an interview to-day he said, reierring to the recently adopted tariff measure: “The intention of the framers of the bill is to raisa more revenue than is necessary to meet the obligations of the Govern- ment, in thata surplus may be createa with which to impound the greenbacks. So far as California is concerned, from the standpoint of having her industries pro- tected, it must be conceded that we zre better cared for by t"is act than we have ever been by any revenue measure. OQur oranges, fraits, raisins and other Califor- nia products have been awmply protected. Unfortunately the wheat-growing farmer is made to suffer by the unjust duty levied upon grainbags. It was impossibie under the conaitions to prevent this, though the rate was reduced somewhat from the orig- tnal inteniion of the authors of the bill.” Da Vries said that the San Joaguin River bas 1o its credit the sum of §68,000 appro- priated by Congress for its improvement, and tbat General Wilson, cuief ot ihe Government corps of engineers, will very shortly direct the necessary work to be dene jor its improvement. De Vries is a member of ti.e Public Lands Committee, and thinks that this will be one of the most important committees in the next House, in view of the sentiment in favor of the annexation of Hawa:i and of the recent developments in Alaska. i e it CRUOK CAPIULED AT CHICO. W. J. Grifiith Is Taksn With a Complete Counterfeitiang Owtfir, CHICO, CaL., July 30.—A desperate and all-around crook was arrested late last evening by Marshal Mansficld and Con- stable Georece Woods, By a mere chance these two officers were made known of the fact that a pretty tough customer was camped at the Junction corral last even- ing, and were led to believe he was the man who assaulted a Mrs. Marshall some time ago near Chico. Manstield and Woods went to the corral armed with a warrant and captured their man, who gave his name as W. James Griffith. On searching his wuagon a complete counter- feiting outfit was iound. In the prisoner’s pockets were found several coanterfeit coins. Griffith ireely acknowledged hav- ing made them, and furthermore ad- mitted having stolen several articles at different places. 1t is strongly believed that he is one of the gang of counterfeiters who some time ago worked the mold on an island in the Sacramento River, below Colusa, and to be the man who shot and kiled yaung Todhunter, son of Coustable Todhunter of Sacramento, while trying to escape, about two years ago. The prisoner is of a low type and would not hesitate to com- mit any crime. United Siates Secret Service Agent W. R. Harris wus telegraphed for and will ar- rive to-night with a warrant for Griffith, — MORMON CHANNEL SAND. stockton’s City Attorney Says It Belongs to the VWebey Heirs, STOCKTON, Car., July 30.—City Attor- ney Toompson, at the request of Mayor Inglis, has given an opinion which is of much importance, and although it may be law it has upset the ideas and theor.es of many of the old residents and created quite a stir among street contractors. The matter relates to the ownership of the sand taken out of a portion of Mormaen Channel, which is used all over ihe city for flling, and which, in fact, has buiit up the greaier par: of the city 1n the last few years. Heretofore it was thought that the sand and dirt 10 Mormon Channel whera the streeis crossed the bed belonged to the city, and as such any one had a right 1w go in and dig itup, but City Attorney Thompson knocks that idea in the head, except in the case of afew streel cross- ings, Furthermore he says that other dirt which has been taken from the chan- ne! and sold by the city has not in fact and does not_belong to the municipality. Captain Weber, the founder of Stock- ton, only deeded to the city that portion of the channel bed where the streets crossed, and the rest of the bed ifrom which the city has been taking sand the city’s attorney thinks still belongsto the Weber heirs. Rresgtiaas TEAMP PEIN:ER'S DISGRACE, ught Forging Checks for Small Sums at Phaeniz, Ariz. PHENIX, Armz, July 30. — R. R. Haroun, at one time City Assessor of De- | troit, Mich., has been caught in the act of raising smail sums of money in this city on forged checks. As a tramp printer Haroun has been preity well known on the coast for the past three years. He came here a few months ago and went to work on the local popers. Lust evening | he was hungry and presented a check to which he had forged the name of C. C. Randolph, editor of the Republican, as pert pay for his supper. The check was for $6, and was taken without question. Arnotber local storekeeper cashed a check lor him for $8, to which the name of N. A. Morford, editor of the -Herald, had been signed. Both forgeries were very clumsy, and in the case of Mr. Randolph the name was written with scarcely any attempt at disguising the handwriting and without prefixing the editor’s initials, Lat: at night the police found Haroun carousing in a disorderly house. He will soon haye a permanent ‘'sit” at Yuma, where there is no “'sub list.” —_— WELCOm£S THE NOOSE, Manuel Chavez Receives the Death Sen- . tence ut San Dieyo.

Pitney and Frank Scott, two specimens of the un- speakable ciass of men who receive money from young women, got a taste of Fresno justice to-day. Pitney admitted that he had “placed” a number of girls in dives and dancehalis through the valiey. He was sentenced to six months in jail. Scott got turee months.

Making Strenuous Efforts to Secure a Faciory at Healdsburg. Claus Spreckels to Be Invited to Survey the Ground and Aid the Enterprise. HEALDSBURG, Carn, July 80.—The farmers of nortbern Sonoma County will make every effort to secure a beet-sugar factory for this city. At the last meeting of the Farmers’ Club held In this city the matter came up for consideration and a iively discussion followed. In speaking of the des rability ¢f such an establishment W. N. G!adden said to tue hundred farm- ers present: “Time was when we could profitably grow whea: and hay in this valley. That was before our Jands became too valuable —before fruit and grapes were produced here. Now we have rich land admirably adapted to the cultivation of the sugar bect, and the tests made by our farmers this season are eminently satisfactory. ‘We have enough land available for beet cuiture in this county to furnish an ade- quate supply for a large factory. What we need to do now is to encourace capital to put in a piant for the manufacture of sugar. “I think this club as an organization should invite Claus Spreckels to visit Hea!dsburg, that we might show him the advania es we possess. We should show him that this city is the proper location for a factory. Give him the guarantee that we will grow- the beets and I believe the factory will come. "I want to say this for Mr. Spreckels: I believe bhe is doing more to develon California than any other. ten men in the State. We need more men like him.” Reports from all quarters show that the beet seed planted in the spring is showinz finely, and it was the unanimous senti- ment of the club that Mr. Spreckels be asked to visit the Healdsburg district a little later on. S SRS AUSTIN CREEK’S ONYX MINES. Company Incorporates at bealdsburg | With a Capital of $100,000 for Their Development. HEALUSBURG, CaL., July 30.—The Healdsburg Onyx Mining Company, re- cently incorporated in this city, with a capital stock of $100,000, will begin to develop the ledge located on Austin Creek, ten miles from this city, at once. A. B. Nally, one of the principal stockholders, says that $10,000 worth of the stock bhas been sold, and this sum will be expended in preliminary work. - A little over a year ago, George Madeira, while trout fishing on Ausiin Creek, came upon some beautifully marked serpentine rock and, being a geologist of some ability, returned to the place where he picked up the rock and spent. two weeks in sesrching for the ledge. His efforis were rewarded with success, for he tound a conicul-shaped mountain of rock 300 feet high and running back into the Coast Range a distance of 1500 feet, which was composed entirely of an onyx-like forma- tion. Mr. Madeira, who located the paint deposits near this city, and which are now. valuable property, had some difficulty in interesting cavital in the onyx lcdge, and for nearly a year himself. and brother, Frank, worked away at the mine uniil sampies ofgbeautiful marble hed been taken out and positive proois of the rieun- ness of the find were In evideuce. Now a road is to be built to the ledge, and with improved machinery the owners of the deposit expect 1o soon be able to supply the trade with a fine quality of richly colored marble. Samples sent to experts in San Francisco have been pro- nounced to be equal to the best Grecian onyx. TROUBLES or MK, F¥ENNELL. Her Fresno Property Attached by a Former Admirer, FRESNO, CaL., July 30..—When Amanda J. Fennell last visited Fresno one of the gentlemen whom she had with her was a Mr. Gamage, Mr. Gamage was with her at her divorce trial and was very attentive. The pair have quarreled and Mr. Gamage has brought suit against the lady reciting many grievances«. By papers received at the Sheriff’s office to-day it seems that Gamage has been in the habit of paying Mrs. Fennell's bills. The complaint ‘sets forth that he has paid all kinds of bills for everything, from the account of the lace dealer to the more modest bill of the milkman. These bils range in amount from $3 30 to $318 40, and aggregate $1317 55. Mr. Gamage has now levied attach- ments upon Mrs. Fennell’s property in Fresno, consisting of the Allen building, residence on M street, the lots in the Bel- mont Addition, Arlington Heights Addi- tion, the Fiske building and the site of the opera-house building. No sooner had the papers in the Gamage case been filed than Attorney Frank Kauke rushed into the Sheriff’s office to have an attachment of $231 in favor of San Francisco varties put upon the property. e RETURNS TO PALO ALTO.' 33 George B.
