The vein is apparently the top of a perpendicular ledge, which has slipped trom place in a mass move- ment of the surface in ages past. A steep climb and steep descent brings one to the Keating mine. It was located two years ago, and Keating has slowly de- veloped it. He found along one steep side of Hardscrabble Gulch the top of a big quartz ‘ledge crashed and moved bya slide. The lodging-place he has not yet found by sinking shaits, The ledge matter is very rich in free gold, which may te vicked off the quartz samples in large flages. Keating is an ordinary prospector from Scotts Valley with no expert knowledge, and has never had an assay made. Itis from having pounded up the rock in mor- tars and panning it that he judges the value of the best of it by the thousands. Much oi the rock is, however, exceed- ingly rich, and surface indications point toa wide ledge. By running a tunnel from down the hill to crosscut the ledge at a depth, and by run- ning it through a mass of porphyry full of seams rich in gold some time ago he took three and a half ounces of zold from one pan from the seams. He has panned out nearly $30,000 altogether. I'here are thus two phenomenal finds at the head of Coffee Creek and one near its mouth, where the world’s biggest nugget was found. It is a !ong and hard way to Hickory Gulch, but thirty rushers are already there, mainly from Siskiyou County. Few have found even a prospect, and as yet but few claims have been filed, but nearly all are vainly panning the gulches. A dozen a day are going into Coffee Creek from the lower end, carrying outfits or with pack mules and resting, camping and prospecting amid the glories of the canyon. J. O. DENNY. e Gold In Sonoma.

HAVANA, Cusa (via Key West, Fla.), Aug. 16 —Cuban General Alredo Rego has entered the important town of Sagua la | Grande, Santa Clara Province, with a large insurgent force. The only details known as yet ars that the town was sacked by the Cubans, A large Spanish force left Havana two days agoto join the other Spanish columns operating nesr the capital. They have orders from Weyler to attack the insur- gents now encamped near Tapaste, the place where, as previously reported, the Spaniards were uiterly defeated last week, ! their revers2 compeiling Weyler to return hurriedly to Havana. General Quintin Banderas is reported to be at Batabano, Havana Proviace, with a sirong force of Cubans. The insurgents continue to be very active in Pinar del Rio Province. The Spanish official medical report cre- ated a sensation ‘here by the statement that if the present state of sickness among | soldiers continues it is prcbable that by next winter there will not be over 10,000 healthy men in the army in Cuba. The report has ciused considerable excite- ment. Tle iriends of Weyler are hopeful thatin case the present political situation continues in Spain the captain-general will remain in office. The Spanish merchant, Emilio Diaz, ar- rested by order of Weyier upon a charge | of fraud, asserts that he depositea $14 000 at a banking-house of Castana, in C.en- fuegos, and that the monsy was with- drawn from the bank without his consent by Weyler's agents. Not the slightest recognition of this fact is to be found in the official papers upon which Diaz was arrested.

ROME, I[ravLy, Aug. 16.—It is stated that the Count of Turin, upon arriving at | Modare, on the frontier, on his return from France after the duel, received a telegram from his uncie, King Humbert, welcoming him and felicitating him upon | his courage. In curious contrast to this it is announ- ced that the Count and his seconds, Colonel Avoguado di Quinto and Colonel Francisco Pallavicino, have been notified that they will be confined in a fortress for a breach of military regnlations in going abroad without obtaining leave of ab- s'nce. LONDON, Exc, Aug. 16.—A special from Rome, published to-day, says it is reported there that the Pope will excom- manicate Prince Henf¢ of Orleans and the Count of Turin, as dueling is forbid- den by the Roman Catholic church. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 16.—The Ttalian headquarters was en fete to-day, and early this momning resounded with music of bands, while a dingy old tene- ment in the vicinity of Mulberry Bend Park was gay with the green, white and red of Italy. All this was in celebration | of Turin’s victory over Orleans in the Parisduel. There was a parade of honor, All along the route there were cheers for the young Prince who wounded his adver- sary. . Louis V. Fugazy, president of the!Unitea 1talian Societies, sent the following dis- patch to the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs at Rome: ‘‘The United Societies congratulate the victor, the Count of Turin.” Mr. Fugazy says special honor will be done the Prince when the societies meet on September 20 to celebrate the 1all of Rome. The Italian residents of other cities also sent congratulatory telegrams. PARIS, Fraxce, Aug. 16.—A bulletin issued late to-night says Prince Henry’s condition is fairly good, but rest is abso- late!y necessary to recovery. The Soir asserts thatit had a reporier disguised as a forester and hidden in the trees to witness the duel between Prince Henry and Turin. It remarks upon the curious circumstances of the omission of the cusiomary formality of the adversaries allowing themselves to be searched by ali seconds, and adds: “There 1s no explana- tion of the bending of the sword of Henry. It must haye met with a very stiff sub- stance, possibly a button, possibly a hard starched shirt front, and possibly some- thing else.”” ————————— The use of red parasols haa been officiatly forbidden in y villages of the Tyrol.

Returned Adventurer Claims That He Has Found the Treasure. Brought to Victoria by the Aurora, Whose Crew Sought for It in Vain. VICTORIA, B. C., Aug. 16.—This port has been the outfitting scene of many Cocos Island treasure-huniing parties, but the usual no-luck story has been varied to-day by the return of the sealing schooner Aurora. When there appeared to be nc longer any money in seal hunting, Captain Hackett made a bargain with Victorians who had money to bear the cost of an expedition, and started with his party on the Aurora about four months ago. Mrs. Brennan, relict of a seaman named Keating, bad inherited from him what she supposed to be the secret of this Cocos Island treasure, and, confident in the value of her inheritance, she had come all the way from Nova Scotia to be the star passenger on the Aurora. The island was dulyreached and the place marked on Mrs. Brennan’s chart was found, bearing indications of having been thoroughly prospected with pick and shovel already, but quite barren of gold or other treasure. ‘Iwo of the crew—A. B. Whidden and ‘W. Livingstone—refused to leave the isl- and without the object of their search and the Aurora has come without them, but has brought as a passenger Charies Hart- ford, an American soldier and adventurer, claiming Rockport as his home, who in- sists that he has located the treasure, but is under bonds todisclose the hiding place to the Costa Rican Government «nd 1o no one else. According to Hartferd, he was landed on the island from a Costa Rican gunboat ten months ago, butsince then has neither seen nor heard anything of his patrons, and accordingly 1 was willing 1o make the following agreement, which tellsits own tale: “I, Charles Hartford, have an agree- ment with and a permission from the Costa Rican Government to search for hidden treasure supposed to have been hidden on Cocos Island. I was landed by the said Government on September 22, 1896, and that Government agreed to come back for me inside of three months. Nine months have gone and I have not heard from them, the said Government, and, being in a starving condition, and with nc means to obtain food, aad no way to get off the islandg, and having located a large treasur® I this day make an agree- ment with ihe captain and crew of the schooner Aurora, of Victoria, B. C., to un- cover and take half of the treasure of whatever nature, whether gold or siiver or precious stones, for their side of the agreement, and to land me, Charles Hart- ford, at some convenient port in the United States with the other half of the sa'd ireasare.” The ower parties to this agreement were the crew of the Aurora, with the exception of Captain Hackett, who re- fused to sign. The snfigesled agreement was declared off, but Eartford was glad to pe allowed to come to Victoria on the schooner. He Las been with the United States Consul for several hours to-day, prevailing upon that functionary to send messages to the Costa Rican Government, which so far have not been answered. It they continue this shabby treatment, Hartford says, he will be willing to renew negotiations with Captain Hackett. In the meantime the captainis disheartened, but fully expects that the two men he has left behind may discover something. He thinks now ttat he sailed into the wrong bay, and this theorv they will test. ‘The paper that Hartiord exhibifs as his conezssion from the Costa Rican Govern- ment is written in Spanish and daied Au- gust 24, 1896. He was landed, with a lit- tle nezro boy as a servant, and they found on the island a German named Gissler, with a concession from the Costa Rican Government for the planiation which he now everiooks. Gissierdid not take kind- Iy to Hartford, who speaksof him asa bold, bad man, but the Aurora party say they experienced nothing but kindness at the German’s hands. RGM-NCE ENDS IN FRZSNO JAIL Harry PRobbe Incarcerated Upon a Warrant Sworn Out by His Girl-Wife. FRESNO, CaL., Aug. 16.—Harry Robbe was breught over from Sanger to-day by Constable Irvine and lodged in the County Jail on a charge of assaunit to do bodily harm, the accusation being preferred by bis wife. Jastice Cummings, in whose court the warrart was sworn out, fixed the prison- er’s bail at $250. He was unable to give this amount and was committed to the! County Jail pending his examination, which was set for the 221 inst. The troubles of Robbe and his wife make up a remarkable story. Mrs. Robbe is a pretty girl, only 17 years of age. Robbe is a blacksmith by trade, but of late he has been emploved by the Valley road in puilding fences along the track. The couple was married three months ago, the mother of the girl giving her con- sent only after she saw her daughter was determined to marry Robbe. They lived together for about a month, when Mrs. Robbe eloped one afternoon with her husband’s brother, Jeff Robbe, who is 21so a_blacksmith. It seems that the brothers had been rivals in courting the girl, but Harry came out winner. After the marriage Mrs. Robbe became ill, and Harry, who had to be at his work during the day, very foolishly employed Jeif to stay at the house and attend his wife, She and her husband’s brother and former rival passed the days very pleas- antly together, and they fell in loys with each other. The unsuspecting husband did not dream of what was going on. One fine afternoon in the latter part of Juune Mrs. Robbe recovered suddenly from her illness and eloped with her husband’s brother. They hired a team and drove to Collis, where in the evening they boarded a train to Los Banos. There they stopped at a hotel together, registering as man and wife. The injured husband stormed about in vain attempts to locate the runaway coupie. Then he induced his wife's mother fo swear out a warrant for the ar- rest of his brother on a charge of abduc- tion. After a few days the officers located the elopers at Los Banos,and brought them back to this city. Mrs. Robbe refused to go back to her hLusband, declaring that she loved his brother and would go to jail with him. Bat the officer would not grant her this privilege, as he had no warrant for her. She had no place t0 go, and being without funds, she was compelled to accompany her mother home. There her husband was waiting her. The mother sided with her son-in-law. Robbe sought to win back the affections of his wife and sat up all night with her after she returned. She remained cold to all his entreaties for about two days, bul finally the husband won theday,as he had done only a month before. ‘Then, strange to relate, Harry freely forgave his brother, and, assisted by the erring wife, who refused to testify against Jeff, "he got the prisoner out of jail, and the cise agams: him was dismissed. But the reunion of the husband and Wwite was not to endure. In a few weeks they separated and Mrs. Robbe went to Sanger to live with her motner, who haa removed to that town. On Saturday ev- ening the husband went to Sanger, *“t0 bave a talk with his wife,” he said. He assumed a boisterous attitude at the house when his wie 1efused to live with him acxin and she fled downtown to the Justice’s Court and swore out the warrant for his arrest. Constable Irvine returned to the home and found Robbe still there. . The officer took the belligerent husband in charge and placed him in the cala- boose. To-day Jeft Robbe, the vrisoner's broth- er, was trying to raise bail to get him out of jail. e gt JUSTICE FIELD'S LONG SERVICE. Breaks the Supreme Bench Eecord, but Says Nothing About Retiring. WASHINGTON, D. C., Ausr. 16 —Jus- tice Stephen J. Field, who to-day broke | the record for the longest service on the United States Supreme bench, isat Spring Lake, N. J., where he has a cottage. So | far as known in Washington he has given | no sign of his intentions of retiring from active service. He refuses to tell even his most inti- | mate friends what he expects to do. It is understood thatif the aged Justice should retire Attorney-General McKenna will be elevated to the bench o suzceed him, and Judge Nathan Goff of West Virginia would be made Attorney-General. Though Justice Field is in good health, be is very feeble, and itis apparent to all Wwho see him that he will soon be unable to attend to his auties in court. Justice Field has recently writter his memoirs, but only a few copies have been printed. PR I He Got the Gun, ALVIN, Texas, Aug. 16.—For some time there has been bad blood petween F. | Nairn, a saloon-keeper, and H. de Witt, unidler. They bad a shooting recently, and this mornine had another. De Witt had preferred charges of gambling against Nairn, and, meeting him this morning, asked if was armed. Nairn replied he was not, and De Witt told him to go and get a sun. Nairn went away and returned soon with a double-barrel gun. He ‘fired, and de Witt lived long enough to sav, *“Tele- graph my brother, F. de Witt, German- | town, N.

Acquires Title to 200,000 Acres Along the Colum- | bia River. | Men Who Took Up Homestead Claims on the Tract Will Lose Thelr All TACOMA, Wasn., Aug. 16.—In the Fed- eral court this afternoon Judge Hanford | handed down a decision which gives tha Northern Pacific Railway title to 200,000 acres of land in Clarke and Cowlitz coun- ties along the Coiumbia River. Italso gives the railway an opportunity to begin proceedings for ousting several hundred settlers who have gone upon the land in the belief that it belonged to the Govern- ment and was subject to homestead en- try. These settlers must now leave or pay the railroad for the land. Its title having been called into ques- tion, the rairoad brought suit over a year ago to quiet title to the lands, and to-day’s decision is the result. Partof the lands were sold in tracts by the railroad and a large number of its vendees were made parties defendant, for the purpose of ob- taining a decree restraining them from commencing actions to recover the pur- chuse money paid to the company. The controversy as to the title grew’out of the act of Congress of September 29, 1890, forfeiting that portion of land grant coterminous with the line of the Northern Pacific Railroad between Portland and Wallula, through the valley of the Colum- bia River, which its charter of 1864 au- thorized the company to construct. As this line was not built the land was not earned under this grant, but the company claimed to bave earned it under the grant of 1870, made to aid in building a line ! from Portland to Puget Sound. The settlers, represented by Portland lawyers, claimed that as the company failed to esrn the lands by compliance with the omnginal grant, the title has re- verted to the United States bv force of the forfeiting act of September, 1890, notwith- standing the fact that the lands were wituin the limits of the later grant for the Portiand-Tacoma line. Guided by decisions of the Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Hanford finds that, as the Northern Pacific Railroad never made adefinite location of any line of road be- tween Portland and Wallu'u, the original land grant never took effect as to these lands. Therefore the title passed to the railroad by the subseq t grant and was not «ffected by the forfeittire act of 1890. The iands lie within forty miles of the Northern Pacific’s main line, and where the two grants had both been earned would have overlapped. The title of the company and its vendees 1s thus found to be perfect. The poor settlers who felt certain that their lomestead entries woulda ultimately be accepted find themselves bomeless. Their filings in most instances, however, are on land not yet sold by ihe railroad, and it is presumed that those who are abla death by the usual Spanish method—the garrote. will become purchasers. All of them hawve | made valuable improvements. NEW TO-DAY—CLOTHING. P A A A A AN e A A A~ A AN~ AP B T A e A T R P YA S MONKEY SEES, MONKEY DOES.
