FRESNO, CAL., Aug. is one of the smallest gold-produc counties in the State, it is one of the richest in mineral wealth, and all that ie required to make the country rank with | the bes a little more enterprise in de- veloping the vast and innumerable mineral-laden ledges that lie scattered all e eastern part of the county. Last year the entire output of gold was only $28,235, but it should have been ten times that amount. A large amount of this has 1 from the placer diggings of the foot nd gulches tribuitary to the Kings River, and but little attention has been paid 19 the immense quartz ledges that seam the mountains all over the eastern part of the county. These placers have been worked in the most primitive manner, and in conse- quence it 1s safe to say that atleast one- balf of the finer and better gold has been tost. This kind of mining is the most ex- | trava not only in the losscf the pre- clous metal, but in loss of time. To iilns- trate the truth of this the case of Russell 1s-e!l has owned a rich Creek, near where Louis his rich strike a short time d that he had bar the gravel. an vel deposit for the past liy cleaned up His work- x weeks, t of the An inspection ywed that by a little ex- ecould have been worked arly the year.

The entire section around the Bear, Laurel and Dinkey creeks is seamed | with' rich quartz siringers and small ledges, but the main ledge has not been uncovered, and, from what can be learned, no one has had the enterprise to look for itin a systemstic manner. A few of these veins have been and are being worked in | & siovenly mannper. and, in most in- stances, without judgment. In the re- mote past there has been a big slipor| slide in the mountains there, and it is on these false veins that most of the work has been done. ! BThe working of the ores has been as crude as t. of the mines. While there is much free gold in the rock the richness lies in the suiphurets, a clear indication that the big mother lode of California is carried into this countv and is not lost in Mariposa and Madera counties, as many | suppose. These rich sulphureis are nearly all wasted, as the rock is usunally worked out by the old-time arastra proc Even this system is not carried on always with | good judgment. This is shown by the'| story that is told of the experience ofa aciic | never miner who expected to strike it rich a few ars ago. he considerad to be first class, and without exploring it be constructed an arastra great expense.

The reasons why this betind the times in the matter of mining are that most of those who bave worked there have hunted only for placer gold, and those who bhave hunted for quartz ledges were not practical miners. The latter are mostly farmers from the valley who spend a few months in the summ oa a sort of prospecting vacations, and He found a small vein which | The arastra | viack | | district is so far | men who work in the vineyards during | the busy seasons and ‘“‘coyote’’ prospect for 2 few months when times in the valley are dult. With the latter it is a ca here to-day and there to-morrow, and experience they have gained of mining in other countries does not apply to this district. The large amount of iron in the quartz, for instance, throws them off the | track, as the iron rust hides some of the finest gold that can be found in tne State, and those not aware of tis are easily misled into believing that good ecre 1s worthless because they canrot see the gold sticking out of the rock. Xurther- more, iron rusied gold wiil not sticl the amalgam, but passes out in the waste, which too oiten deceives the uninformed o | | Zwo Rich Strikes Made on the Mountain miner.

At the time this lana was taken up as timber land the miners of the district entered a protest, but, being without means, they could not staud the expense of going to Stockton and making their protest of any avail. Aside from the several mines in the dis- tricts where the present excitement pre- vails, there are a number of very valuable ey, but | properties scattered along the foothills, One of the best is a copper proposition, located about twenty-five miles from tuis city and four miles from Letcher’sstation, on the road to the Toll House. It isknown as the Copper King, and is owned by a | company of Engli-h capitalists, who re- | cently paid $15,000 for it. It was originally located by Hugh Knepper. The new owners have set at work to make it a pay- ing investment. A new hoist and a smelter are in process of construction. The ledge is very rich in copper, but the company expecis to make the mine pay for iiself from the eo!d that runsin the rock. The ore shows $16 to the ton aside from thecopper. Another good little mine is the Provi- dence, about twenty-tive miles beyond Kenyon’s. It was located by a pariy of Adventists, who attempted to work it with a roller ball machine.

ROMANCE OF SANTA BARBARA. The Octogenarian Steals a March on Watchful Relatives. ESCAPES FROM THE CARE OF HIS SON. Hastens to His Young Sweetheart and a Minister Makes Them One. SANTA BARBARA, CarL, Aug. 3L— The Douglass sensation, which has been exciting the upper circles of Santa Barbara society tor the past two weeks, reached 1ts climax to-day when the aged miliionaire stole a march on his watching relatives and wedded Louisa Kretzler, his Alsatian | servant girl. The good people of this city were elec- trified on August 15 by the announcement of the fact that a marringe . license had been issued authorizing the marriage of Benjamin Douglass and Louisa Kretzler. Every one knew who Douglass wus, but | few had ever heard of the name, even, of the woman who was to be the bride. But the event which was to follow closely upon the issuance of the license was, for the time being, postponed. The outgoing train from Santa Barbara next morning carried the personage who was i have become the wife of the octogen- arian millionaire, and, it is whispered, she is supposed to have carried with bher a goodly sum of money hasuly gathered ; together by the relatives of the prospect- ive bridegroom, who thus hoped to puta stop to further proceedings in the amatory line between the head of the house of | Douglass and the erstwhile serving maid. Then came a sequel to the story in the shape of guardianship papers filed by the attorney of certain members of the Don:- lass family asking that the court appoint a guardian over the person and estate of | “an incompetent person.” Next Benjamin Douglass took a trip to the country with his family and remained in seclusion for a few days; but the peace of the family was again broken by the who had come to the conclusion that she pre- ferred the company of her venerable friend to seclusion, even with the gold of the other members of the family. The doors of the family mansion were closed again-t her, and the place was at once putin a stage of siege by the girl, who developed a determination that sur- prised even those who had been accus- tomed to her presence in a menial capa- city. Not satisfied with the contumely with which she was treated and being re- strained from meeting Douglass, she held consultations’ with lawvers, and there were threats of a suit for breach of prom- ise, which, however, was never brought, as the girl evidently found means of com. municating with the old man. The children of Mr. Douglass took every possible means of averting what they con- sidered a diszrace upon their family, and the result was that the pastor of ths churen, of which Mr. Douglass had long been an honored member, refused to officiate. This action was followed by the suit for guardianship, but Mr. Douglass was so | greatly incensed at this slight upon his mentality that he threatened his children with disinheritance if they persisted in their intention. He at the same time promised that he would abandon the ob- jectionable alliance. Love laughs at locksmiths and watch- ful relatives as well, and at 11 o’clock this morning Mr. Doug!ass, while on his regu- lar visit to the bank, gave his son the slip and drove hastily 1o the house where the girl was staying, asked if she was ready, returned uptown and engaged tbe services of Rev. C. A. Westenberg, pastor of the Methodist church, hurried back to the house, and a short formula made a 23-year-cld Alsatian girl the wife of an 84-year-old American millionaire, in the presence of Thomas Eddy, ex-bar- tender, and his wife, a fellow-servant 1n the family that brought Louisa to Santa | Barbara. Several hours were spent by the happy pair in driving about the City until train time, when they departed for Los Angeles. Douglass says that their future ac- tions will depend ‘*‘on what this young lady wants to do.”” But it is rumored that other members of the family will probably have more to say about these future movements than the young lady, as they are deeply in- censed over what they say is an implied slur upon the late Mrs. Douglass. Benjamin Douglass is a dative of Mary- land, aged 84, and was one of the founders of the R. G. Dun Commercial Agency. He 1s reputed to be worth $1,500,000, including larce blocks of stock in various good-pay- ing trusts, He has always been known s a devout ana zealous Presbyterian and often officiated as lay reader in the locul church. Louisa Kretzler, the bride, is a blonde, from Alsace-Lorraine, of medium beight, shapely jin person and pretty in fea- ture. She formerly lived in Paris and London anda came to Sauta Barbara in the empioy of the iamily of a New York physician and later took service in the family of Mr. Douglass as second girl, which position gradually merged into that of personal attendant upor and entertainer of her empleyer. Mr. Douglass defends his action on scriptural grounds and calls to the mind of those who oppose him the example set by King David who was permitted in his old age !o rejoice his heart with youthfut companio: Captured With His Loot. SAN JOSE, Car, Aug. 3L—The resi- dence 6f John M. Myers at 54 South River street was entered by burglars at noon to- 1897. day. Jeweiry valued at $65 and a few dol- lars in coin were taken. A half-hour later Joe Latour, who was discharged from tie County Jail a few days ago, called at the Ci.y Prison with a bag of fruit for a pris- oner. His “flush” condition excited sus- picion and he was searched. The money and Jewelry taken from the Meyers resi- dence were found on him and he con- fessed to the robbery. el G MURDERED AND ROBB An 0/d Druggist, Weak and Almost Helpless. Killed and His Store Looted. YUMA, Arwz, Aug. 3L—John Pratt, the aged keeperof the drugstore at Gila Bend, was murdered this moraing about 2 o’clock by unknown parties, for the pur- pose of robbery. The old man, who was weakly almost to helplessness, was shortly afterward found on the front vorch where he usually slept, lying in pools of blood which had issued from gap- ing woundsin the throat. A heavy iron bar near by, ciotted with blood and hair showed that it had also been utilized to consummate the old man’s destraction. The skull was crushed and the jagged bones had penetrated the scalp. Although upon examination it was discovered that Prati’s pulse was still faintly beating, at last accounts he had showed no signs of regainine consciousness, and before now undoubtealy dead. The motuve for the henious crime was robbery, as the old man’s watch was miss- ing and the doors of the drugstore had been knocked in. All articles of value which could ve were carried away. Desks, money-drawers and safe were all broken open and money and valuables of other character extracted. The perpetrators of the crime left nothing upon which the officers might inaugurate a search with any degree of intelligence, but as the deputies are searching the country on all sides of Gila Bend and arresting characters at all suspicious, the guilty ones can hardly e:cape, especially cons.dering the barren nature of the surrounding country. When cantured the murderer or murderers may suffer the penalty made famous by Judge Lynch, as the friends of Pratt are furious. 84T IN JNOLTeN METAL, Keswick Smelter Lmploye Suffers Hor- rible Eurns.

LARGE INCREASE IN IMMIGRATION. Retiring Collector Saunders’ Records Found in Bad Condition. CELESTIALS ADMITTED AS MERCHANTS. Bogus Certificates Sald to Have Been Taken From Several of the Arrivals. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasn., Aug. 3L.— This afternoon at 4 o'clock, after more | than four years’ continuous service as Customs Collector for the District of Puget Sound, James C. Saunders retired and Fred D. Heustis of Oympia took charge. The tran:fer was made unosten- tatiously, and to-morrow Heustis will assume the duties of office. While Saunders has severed his con- necuon with the Treasury Department, officially, it is more than probable that he will be in close communication with that branch of the Government for some time to come. This fact 1s deducted from a recent official visit made to this port by Special Treasury Agents Cullom and West, who, in company with Immigra- tion Inspector Jossey, made a thorough examination of the custom-house records in so far as they applied to the admission of Chiuese through this district frcm the Orient. For some time past the vast numbers of Ceiestials passing through the district has been commented upon, and gossip became so general that it was finally brought to the attention of the department. With the secrecy that characterizes all work of tas special treasury agents was the investigation con- ducted, but not so sccretly but that their real mission wus soon discovered. It is said that of all the records of rou- tine work of the office none were kept in such poor shape as those detailing the ad- vent of Chinese, a iact whichin the course of an explanation demanded of Saunders caused the lie to pass between him and Jossey, accompanied by a threat to sum- marily eject the immigration officer from the room. Since the 4tk of last Novem- ver, which brought with it the assurance of a change in the direction of affairs in this district, the number of arrivals from the Orient, all claiminz the right to land as mercl:ants, has increased perceptibiy, and while previous to that the work of ex- amining was detailed to asubaltern, since then it has received the personal atten- tion of the Collector. Over 1000 applicants have been successful in passing, and now it is claimea that several instances have come to light where Celestials, after hay- ing been passed, were taken into custody and ir certificaies discovered to be fraudulent. The largest single contingent of immi- grants that has gone through here passed muster two months agc, and the popula- tion of Washington was accordingly in- | creased in one day by 234 of the greenest- looking Chinamen who ever put foot on American svil. Incidents of this descrip- tion, which might be cited indefinitely, bave served todraw suspicion toward the Collector. It was not by any means de- creased when it became noised about that Saunders nad on at least two nccasions been so accommodating as to go without the boundaries of his own district into that of Portland, Or., to be present and officiate in the examination of Celestials destined for the Oregon metropolis. Two other of the principal means of in- gress for Chinese are thfough Northport, the sub-port on the boundary, and Tacoma, the Puget Sound terminus of the Northern Pacitic Oriental Steamship line. Immediately following the recent inspec- tion of the records here, the sub-collectors of both these places arrived and remainel in ciose consultation with tae Collector for several days. Just what the outcome of the ominous inquiry recently completed will be it is impossible to staieat ihis time. The of- ficial report left Tacoma in the afternoon mail to-day and until 1t is cousidered by Secretary Gage only surmises can be made. Collector Saunders was seen to-day. He would not discuss details, but volunteered the information that during the recent investigation the occasion arose for him to say a few pointed things to [nspector Jossey, who was informed by the Col- lector that, as he had no authority in the premises, Saunders would not treat with bim. Later he took occasion to de- nounce the story as a villainous black- mailing slander. Saunders’ appointment four years aco came as a great surprise, he having never been prominently identified with the Dermocratic party here. It developed later, however, that he was a close personal friend of ex-President Cleveland, having been secretary in the White House during the executive’s first administration. Dur- ing all bis term Saunders bas conducted the affairs of this di-trict with the arro- gance of a czur, and it is saia on good au- thority that several months ago a scandal, with every prospect of his dismissal, was husned only by the personal intercession of Mr. Cleveland himse!f.
