TOMBSTONE, Ariz., Aug. 7.—There is considerable excitement here over the rich gold strikes that are being made in the Yequi country gnd several parties are outfitting from here for the new gold re- gon. It has long been kunown that the Yaqui Valley and the foothiils that bor- der it held immense and valuable mineral deposits, but the country has been diffi- cult of access by the mountain route and until quite recently the warlike attitude of the Yaquis has made prospecting by white men foolhardy and almost im- possible. Since the Yaqui peace conclave that re- gion is quiet and open to ail who wish to come, It is said that the entire country, {and south to Culicau, is onre immense | mineral deposit. The party of California prospectors who have recently returned from a two years’ vrospecting trip in the Yaqui Valley are | said to have located an immensely rich placer ground on the Batefito River, a confluent of the Yequi River. The discovery was made b:fore the treaty with the Yaqui Indians and for this reason the Californians were unable | comzpercial importance any atthat time to secure a title to their loca- | tions from the Mexican Government. ‘They abandoned their holdings tempora- | rily, but as soon as the treaty was con- cluded again applied and secured a title on a large number of claims. | This was four months ago, or less, L0 ALAMITOS SUGAR PLANT New Era Dawns for the Farmers of Orange County. Assured of a Large Income From Their Crop of the Lowly Beet. ‘ The Factory Just Opened One of the Most Complete in the World. SANTA ANA, CaL, Aug 7.—Another step in California’s onward march of de- | velopment has been taken in the opening from Minas Prietas east to the Muataes | ¢} o new beet-sugar factory at Los Ala- mitos for its initial run. The event sg- nalizes the cpening of anew era for the beet in Southern California and especially in Orange County. The_new factory, it is confidently believed, 1s a forerunner of others of the kind in this immediate vicinity, and the day 1s fast approaching when the lowly sugar-beet will rival in other product of Southern California’s soil. The proprietors of the factory are J. Ross Clark of Los Angeles and his brother, W. A. Clark, the millionaire mine-owner of Butte, Mont. Upward of §450,000 has and | been expended in bringing the factory to latter has not vet been 'ionnd, and his iventity is unknown. The body was found in the underbrush, near the road from the rprings to tne Lakeport landing, Although Spottswood had with him a short time belore Lis earnings of the entire season no money was found on his person. The murder t:eory is strongly adhered to by theo‘foople who best knew him, as Spoitswor dispositian was such that the idea of suicide is scouted. His relatives ar: prostrated. His brother, Joseph Spottswood Jr., left to-day for Bartletts to bring the body bome for interment, S AT o ASCENT O¥F VICTORIA PEAE, Stars and Stripes Unfurled at the Sum- mit of the Mount. LAGGAN, B, C., Aug. 7.—Not satisfied with the triumphant ascent,of Mount Le- froy, the New England College expedition, which is backea by the Appalachian Mountain Club, yesterday tackled the great white peak at the head of Lake Lou- ise and known as Mount Green or Victona Peak. Itis200 feet higher th#n Mount Lefroy. Rev. Charles H. Noyes, pastor of the Congresational church at Somerville, Mass., first set foot on the bare rock cf the sunfmit and waved the stars and stripes, despite the fact that the mountain is in British territory.

TACOMA, Wasu, Aug. 7.—A thirty- foot humpback whale has been disporting himseif in Tacoma harbor yesterday and to-day. Themonsterleviathian captured near here a year ago by A. A. Alger was forty-eight feet in length, but this one1s big enough to arouse the curiosity and sporting proclivities of would-be whale hunters. Unul nearly noon to-day the whale cut up leviathian antics as he punged and cavorted in the muddy waters of the Sound-Puyallup River con- fiuence in full view of peopleon the docks. Finally ke left the waters, which were apparently alien to his native haunts, and L= Clark Bros. Sugar Beet Factory at ‘ Los Alamitos, Orange County, Cal. -3as 1t was finally determined to stop the funeral, which was to bave been held this afternoon, in order to make an exami- nation of the stomach. Huston, Sheriff Griffin, Coroner Bean and Messrs. Moore and Cantrell went over to Washington, where a thoroush investigation will be made, but it is believed that no sensation will be developed. Norman and Mrs. Paine were married about a year ago. Of late there has been trouble between Mrs. husband and his reiatives, which resulted in Mrs. Norman commencing an action against him in Sacramento to set aside certain deeds which he had made couvey- ing property to his relative.. The people of that portion of the county where the Normans revide are considerabiy stirred up over the sudden deash of Norman, and rumors of all kinds are ezfloat, some of which throw suspicion on Mrs. Norman. The relatives of the deceased claim that for the last few mouths he lived in dread of being poisond, and that he told them e slept in barns and on refuse heaps, and would not eat at home, fearing that he would imperil his lile if be slept and ate at home. FRESNO RAISIN-GROWEES MEET. Adopt Measures to Thwart a Sup- posed Scheme to Break Down Prices. FRESNO, Car., Aug. 7.—The raisin- growers here are of the opinion that an extensive movement is on foot to bear the | market this season. Ata meeting of the Farmers’ Club this afternoon the opinion was expressed by N. L. F. Bachman, who was a Democratic Assemblyman from tnis county in 1595, that the San Francisco Examiner was trying to assist the jobbers in their effort to break down prices and prevent the Californiz producer from ob- | taining & fair return for his crop. Bach- man’s opinion was shared by many mem- bers of the club, who knew the facts on which: the ex Assemblyman based his assertion. The Eastern brokers and the Western brokers, 100, have been spreading reports iothe effect that there will be a heavy | vieli of raisins this year; that it will be largely in excess of the ouiput of iast season. Such representations are errore- ous, for the crop will be a short one, due to the ravages of the vine-hoppersand consequent burning of the grapes by the sun. THE CALL cortaspondent has taken pains to obhtain reliuble information from all parts of the raisin-growing distri shortage will b2 consideravle. With a decreased supply a higher tariff on foreign raisin and a bire markei good prices ougnt 10 be realized. The ‘mers’ Club adopted a resolution to-day yising growers to hold their raisins for 3 cents cash in the sweatbox, 1t is beliey=d that the producers will stand firm, and that amount and more can be realized. In f. the outlook for Fres- no’s chief industry this season has not been better in s veral years. The club adopted condemuatory resolutions con- cerning a circular issued by the John W. Chapman Company, the New York agents of the J. K. Armsby Company of Chicago, which offered raisins ai cut prices. A local firm telegraphed the company that it would take ten carloads at the prices quoted. The opportunity for a sale was refused.”] The distribut'on of the circular was but a part of the scheme to bear the market, the circular stating that the season opened with the lowest prices ever quoted. This is a falsehood on the face of :t. A mass- meeting of raisin-growers was called for Saturday, August 21, to take action against the scheme of the jobbers. The Growers' Co-operative Association will not pack this year, because of the good prospect for cash prices. It has eleven packing-houses in the county and during the past few years has handled a large part of the output. FEE S B Jumprd From a Schooner at Sea. EUKEKA;CaL, Aug. 7.—Captain J. T.

The town of Los Alamitos counts | its people by hundreds and is the partial | cen er of supply for scores of weil-to-do | and prosperous families. The country is | filling up rapidly.

Iis greatest length is 266 feet, width 66 feet. 1n this building is piacea most of 1he heavy machinery used in the process, The limekiin and boiler- house annex 1s the second largest in the i t'e colony of brick buildings that com- prise the factory. The annex is 196x72 feet. The warehouse in which the re- fire! proluct is siored is 100x50 feet. The machine-shops are 50x25 feet, and nd hana- somely arranged Toom, is 24 feet. There is also a frame seedbou-e, 60x40 feet, the receptacie for the s-ed usea on the 12,000 acres tributary to the factory. Two bundred carloads of eravel and 200 | barrels of cement were used in the coun- struction of the foundation. Seventy-five carioads of lumber were nece sary to erect the 700-foot silo and the mammoth beet sheds. Three-quarters ¢f a million brick is another item in the construction ac- count. Los Alamitos is connected with the out- side world by telegraph. and ison a spur of tho Southern Pacific Railroad, only nine miles from Anaheim, the second city of importance in Orange County. The town and factory water supply is found in artesian wells. For the season of 1897 the Clark factory has a cavacity of 350 tons of beets daily, Under the terms o! a contract entered into. by the proprietors and the Bixby Land Company, this capacity must be doubled the coming year. This company is under binding sgrtement to supply the factory with the produet of 7000 acres of beets for the ensuing four years. The sugar testsalrcaly made this season proclaim the land rich in saccharine- giving elements. This season’s crov will be from 3000 acres of beets, and a high estimate places the average ner acre at eighteen tons, The basic price is §3 25 per ton of 12 per cent saccharine, with 25 cents for each aaditional per cent above. A fair yield in quality and quantity will thus net the growers $4 per ton and about $50 per acre. The expense o! production and of warketing is small. Many favor- able circumstances conspire to make the indnstry oneof profittothe farmer and the m. n facturer. For these reasons is the opexuing of the factory heralded with great joy by all classes in this locality and a further increase is devoutly looked for. | SLAIN NEAx B.RiLETT SPRINGS.

Pacific County’s Grand Jury Finds True Bills Against Three Prominent Men. | PORTLAND, Os 7.—A special | from South Bend, sh., says that two | indictments have been found by the Grand Jury of Pacific County against ex-County | Treasurer S. F. Lockwood, one for em- | bezzlement and the other for larceny; and | F. M. Wade and A. L. Denio, president and cashier, respectively, of the suspended First National Bank, were indicted for re- ceiving funds on deposit after they knew the bank was insolvent. The first count found against Lockwood is for a shortage of $3327, which was founa when his books were cliecked over when he resizned his office, a year ago last May, and to cover which he turned over his house and lot 1n- Soutu Bend and some notes and accounts. The second count, that of iarceny, isn reality an indictment for buying warrants at a discount, which the statutes makes a criminal offense. When last heard trom the accused was gprospecting in the St Helens mining distr.ct. F. M. Wade is understood to be engaged in mining in Southern O:egon. In 1891 Wade was connected with fifteen banks in this State, and besides was at the head of the First National Bank of Port Ange- les and the National Bank of Commerce of Tacoma. Most of his banks havesince then failed. A. L. Denio, cashier of the suspended bank, is now first deputy in the lowa State Auditor's office. Denio is un- derstood 10 be on his way here to agswer the charges. The Grand Jury was called primarily to discover, if possible, the person who stole ex-County Treasurer Lockwood’s bond, on which suit was pending, and who mutilated the record. The jury reports that it found sufficient evidence to ex- onerate vhe present county officials, but not enough positive evidence to warranct an indictment, though it is undeistaod to be morally certain who the guilty person is. The jury arranged with the County Commissioners for the employment of an expert to go through the county records since 1890. ————— AT CAMP +BE LINCOLN.

The loWest esti- mate of the number of tourists and others now in the city is 4000 people. Of these 300 are residents of Los Angelss and other Southern Califorma cities. Most of the others are Curistian End&avorers who have lingered in California since the San, Francisco convention and who took ad- vantage of the low excursion rates to the Grand Army encampment hege to visit this city before returning to théir Eastern homes. 3 As to the camp itself, the enerzy and good judgment of Commandet Bell, Cap- tain Dill and the others in charge, has| made it a success. Fifteen hyndred old soldiers and sailors are enjoying them- selves at Camp Abe Lincoln in a way that does the heart of the spectator good. The programme to-day inclnded literary and musical exercises, excursionson local rail- roads and a number of special events in the city to-night.

Detectives From 'San Fran- cisco Have Procured a Mass of Evidence. Efflcacy of the Prohlbitory Clause In Deeds to Property Will Be Tested. MILL VALLEY, CAL., Aug. 7.—The authorities have plannea a liguor raid and warrants for the arrest of a dozen or more persons doing business in Mill Valley are to be sworn out and served on Monday. The local officers, assisted by detectives from the metropolis, have been at work for the past ten days procuring evidence to convict the offenders, and while similar raids have been made in Mill Valley, it is expected that this one will result in con- victions. ‘When Mill Valley was opened to the public seven years ago, it was the purpose of the Tamalpais Land and Water Com- pany, which controlled the place, to make the valley a strictly temperate locality. In order to accomplizh this end, the deeds conveying land to purchasers contained a clause to the effect that liquor should not be sold, given away or disposed of in any manner in Mill Valley fora certain period, which expires in 1915. Since the first piece of property was sold there has been trouble over this clause. The vpopulation of the valley increased rapidly. and asa place for the sale of liguor Mill Valley was among the best. In consequence every known scheme and device has been resorted to at different times by dealers in order to sell the forbidden spirits in the valtey. The land company gave out emphatic- ally that it would prosecute any person who sold liquor here. Then, like'a mush- room, a villuge of saloons came into ex- istence in a night, just across the boundary line ot Mill Valley. The locality was yelept *‘Jagville,”” and was generaily known by this euphonious name. Liguor was sold there and supplied to the resi- dents of the valley. Gradually others grew bolder, and while no saloon was opened in Mill Valley it was easy to obtain a glassof whisky or other intoxicant. Then efforts were made to enforce the clause in the deeds forbid- ding the sale of liquor. Arrests were made. The arrested persons demanded jury trials, and case after case was either dismissed on account of disagreements of the jury or because verdicts of not guilty were brought in. The District Attornev could not ob- tain a verdict of guilty, and the prosecu- tions came to naught. The raid to be made on Monday is up- on a much more extensive plan. Dealers are to be arrested on various counts— some for selling the spirits without a license, as required by law, others under the Tamalpais Lind and Water Com- pany’s clause in the property deeds. Certain it is that the arrests are to be made. It is said that the wholesale hquor-dealers are not against the pro- ceeding, as the claim is made that the man who sells liguor on the sly and avoids the paying of legitimate licenses injures the business of dealers who re. spect the law and do their share toward supporting the Government. A number of those selling liquor in Miil Valiey contend tnat they are doing a res- tuurant, business, and that they have a perfect "right to supply customers with liquid re‘reshments when they ask for it with their food. No exception will be made to this class, and they, as well as those who are sellingdrinks without food, will have to submit to the humiliation of arrest and trial. The complaints will be sworn out by Constable ? B. Mahar before Justice of the Peace Thomas Fottrell, before whom the cases will be tried. e Srarching for @ Wooaland Witne: WOODLAND, Carn, Aug. 7.—Deputy United States Marshal Littlefield arrived in this city from San Francisco on last night's train in search of Matthew Mur- ray, who is wanted as a witness at Coun- terfeiter Griffith’s examination in San Francisco next Tuesday. Griffith is the man who was arrested at Chico a few days ago with a counterfeiting outfit in his possession. He is supposed to have been making and passing spurious coins throughout the Sacramento Valley for some time. Heisalsosuspected of having guilty knowledge of the Todhunter mur- der at Washington several years ago. LURED FROM HOME AND SLAIN. Moses E. Banks, a Produce-Dealer of Corning, N. Y., hiysteriously Assassinated. CORNING, N. Y., A 7.—Moses E. Banks, a produce-dealer, wag lured from his home last night and sbot to death. While eating supper in his lonely subur- ban home a! 8 o’clock two men called. One said: **We saw a cow of yours tangled up in a wire fence and were unable to get her loose, but if you'll get your lantern and come with us we'll help you get her out.” Mrs. Banks said she lighted a lantern and her husband walked up the road with the men. In the moonlight she distin- guished the outline of five men walking up the road toward where the men had told Banks the cow was caught. While standing in the open door she could see the lantern in the road, near the ravine, forty rods distant. Suddenly the light vanished and an instant later she heard a strange voice attering threais. Thena shot was fired, followed by another. Mrs. Banks ran to the house of joseph Roblyer near by. Roblyer, his son and George Tongue ran up the road with lan- terns in their hands. As they neared jhe ravine they heard Banks groaning. Guided by this they followed the ravine back from the road about fifty feet. The voice was silent, but suddenly Roblyer stumbled against an object, which, when his son came up with the lantern, proved — " Rl 5 Aoy strict, l KEW 7TO-DAY—DRY GOODS Only Each day brings the nearer. less. weeks. all sorts of Domestics no fake. thing is for sale.

Meeting of Lemocrats, Populists and Free-Silver Republicans Winds Up in a kiot. KANBAS CITY, Mo, Aug. 7.—At least a score of black eyes and half a dozen broken heads in Wyandotte County to- night resulted from an attempt to fuse the Democrats, Populists and Free-silver Republicans under the banner of 16 to 1. The meeting ended in a free fight, wherein nearly every man present took a hand. The fight raged tiercely until a squad of policemen dragged the combatants avart. Dr. E. M. Doyle, a prominent Democrat, wanted ‘to run the meeting. Finding he was oppoused too strongly, he began abus- ing the opposition. He called Councilman Brown a liar. Brown clinched with him while the crowd howled. They were sep- arated long enough to a'low Senator Henry T. Zimmerto denounce Doyle. The latter called Z mmer a liar, and Zimmer knocked him down, drawing blood. Doy'e’s friends rushed to the rescue, and the Zimmer crowd pitched in. Chairs and benches were freely used. One resulit of the row will probably be a walk-Over for the Republicans in the fall election. WHERE WILL CARTER BE HANGED 2 If Convicted the Federal Authorities Will Have Difficulty in Execut- ing the Murderer. NEW YORK., N. Y., Aug.7.—The ap- proaching triai of Seaman Phillip F. Carter, formeriy attached to the battle- ship Indiana, for the murder of Master- at-arms Thomas Kenny on board that vessel June 30 has brought about a pers plexing state of affairs. Carter’s case. is the first involving ca:n:al punishment which has come up in toe Federal courts in this State since the Legisiature author- ized death by electricity. The Federal law provides that men convicted of capi- tal crimes must be hanged and it is gen- erally believed the Federal law will have precedence over the State law. There may be a legal fight over the point. Besides there is a question where a sentence of death is imposed and hang- ing decided upon whether it shall be car- ried out. It cannot take place in any State or city institution or on Statd or city property, which will leave the un- pleasant alternative to the United States Marshal of hanging the prisoner in the navy-yard in Brooklyn, the most con- venient Government property, or peti- tioning the Federal authorities for per- mission to send the condemned man some- where in the West. The trial is on the calendar of the United Etates Circuit Court in Brooklyn. FAST RUN OF 1HE ETRUKIA Beats Her Best Precious Kecord Across the Atlantic. NEW YORK, N.
