This, he contends, came from the early till valleys. The light alluvial svil was washed down into the smaller streams by the heavy winter rains and eventually carried into the larger bodies of According to the same authority this contends that it is unfair to lay all of the blam? on the hydraulic miner and make him alone suffer for this natural erosion. hydraulic is parily to blame, but not wholly, for the tiller of the soil has contributed his share to the filiing of thesireams and the bay. utary to streams where hydraulic mining is car- ried on, yet had it not been for the frequent dredging of their beds neither of them wouid be deep enough to float a light draught barge. of money have been spent in keeping these rivers deep enough for or- dinary commerce, and tkeir coystant shallowing is caused by no other reason than the washing of the soil from the agricuitural lana; keep the soil from being wasned into the streams and it is likely to be suegested that sometbing of the kind be tried in this State in zddition to ANCIENT MINE N THE YAQUI Traditional Gold Claim Said to Have Been Discovered. | Prospector Leading a Party to the Famed Tecolo'e Diggings.

It was a gold mine, worked | by the Spaniards several centuries ago. All that was known of it was that 1ts loca- tion was somewhere 1n the hills near the Lower Yaqui, the same stream on which wonderful pacer diggings have lately | been found. At long interv.ls parties | have set out to search Jor it, but the way has been through the territory of the hitherto hostile Y.qui tribe, and death has overtaken many of the expeditions, In the ancient archbives at the City of Mex co much has been found concerning this o!d property, including statements of almost fabulous wealth derived Irom its depths. All the chronicles tell of its lo- cation is that it was a certain number of leagues from tbe puebio of Ures, the lat- ter part of the journey overa very difficult , mule pati, The last records concerning the mine are that the supply of goid ingots had been cut off through a general insurrec- tion of the Sonora Indians. The story has been banded down 1n Sonora for genera. tions, tradition also telling that the Span- | ish miners were walled up by the Indians within the mine and there left to die, sur- rounded by a wondrous wealth of goid in bars that had been smelted and then siored away in the mine for security. Since peuce has been declared between | Mexico and the Yaquis a number of pros- | pectors have been searching for the an- | cient bonanza. Several days agoa Mex- ican prospector reiurned to Guaymas and [ reported that he nad found the mine | walied up, as told by tracition, and with {)ha ruins of its pueblo and church near ¥ pector's employers, who immediateiy sent | i | out a party io take possession, and now [lre tu lves gone, headed by the dis- | coverer.

George Knight Looking for the Wayward One All Over the Continent Living Happily in West Oakland Till Wooed From Her Home. OAKLAND, CaL, Oct. 15.— A West Oakland father ;s now in Chicago trying to find nis daughter, who left home, hus- band and baty four years ago. George Koight is the unhappy man who is now engaged in the searcn. Five years age his daughbter Mary was the wife of Ed Rogers and at her request the Knight family mcved to Oakland. Mr. ana Mrs. Rogers were living hapyily together and the nusband was employed as a drugzist, but soon after the arrival of her parents a change came over the Rogers home. Mrs. Rogers, then 22 years of age, wasa vivacious, pretty young woman. She was full of life and just the reverse of her hus- band, who was much older and who was | of a gloomy taciturn nature. The girl was not happy and her husband did not do much toward trying to hoid her af- | fections. Afier a while Rogers’ friend, Charles Lindley, a druggist, came from Topeka to this city. He renewed his old acquaint- ance with Rogersand the latter frequently entertained tim at his home. Lindley was much younger than Rogers and was an attractive, bright man, and it was only natural that his nature, which was very | similar to that of Mrs. Rogers, should find in her a congenial companion. Six months after Lindiey appeared on the scene M s. Rogeis discovered 'hat she wanted to visit her friends in Topeka. About the same time Lindley returned to Jast. From Toreka Mrs. Rozerswent to Kansas City,and from thal time ali trace of her has been lost. She left her baby, which wax six months old, with its father before sue left Oakiand, aud it has since died. About the time Mrs. Rogersdisappeared Lipdley also dropped out oi sight, and neither his family nor the Rogers family have been able to discover a trace of the missing couple. Mr. Knight is convinced that they are to ether, Two years ago Rogers, seeing that his | wite did pot intend to return, married i and now lives with his wife in d: Bince 1893 nothing has been heard of Mrs. Mary Rogers. Her father 1s employed by the Pacifie Press in this city, and hor sister, Mrs. Rue, said to-day that during the two months of the fa her’s search iu the East he has learned nothing ot his daughter.

W. Dutton Suddenly Left the Sheriff’s Office. He Resigned, but It Was Under Pressing Invi- tation, His Attentions to a Young Lady Aroused Parental and Official Opposition. OAKLAND, Car, Oct. 15. — When Sheriff White released J. W. Dutton from his deputyship in the Sherif’'s office yesterday, it was well known that there was some reason for it, for White is always regarded as one who would give a man a fair show to look out for something else before letting him go. The secret is now out, and is a veritable little romance in polities, J. W. Dutton, ex-courtroom deputy to Judge Greene, loved very unwisely, and this love lad to his political unaoing. He would not even desist from showing his regard for the young lady when threatened with parental wrath; and when this stage had been resched the zctions of his deputy were raported to the Sheriff, and discharge followed. The object of Dutton’s esteem and affec- tion is a young lady who is said to be yet achild. She has rccently left a conveat, where she has been fof several year<, and is very innocent regardinz the ways of the world. Dutton is 2 widower bstween 50 and 60 yeurs of age and does not deny that he has some regard for the young lady, but says his sudden discharge is due to politics and that the incident referred to is only an excuse taken advantage of. About two weeks ago the mother of the girl reported to Sheriff White that Dutton was meeting her daughter against ber will. They were watched, and it was found that the two were taking little walks to:ether in defiance of the mother’s wishes and orders. When this was made known to the Sheriff Dutton was given an opportunity to offer his resignation, which was immediately accepted. do not see that my private affairs should cut any fizure in my official career,”” said Mr. Dutton to-night. “'I at- tended to my duties, and the information on which Shenff White says he acted came to him 1n a contidential manner and he should have so regarded it. There have been people trying to secure this change for months, but [ do not approve of the manner in which it has been done.”” “1 have nota word to say,” said Sheriff White to-day. “It is for Mr. Dutton to explain why he resigned; I am convinced that Isimply did my duaty in the matter. It Mr. Dutton does not properly represent the matter it will be time enough for me to speak.’” Datton is the president of the Bryan Army and Navy League and Whoite is a Popunst, and the situation has aroused great interest. BASKET-BALL IS POPULAR. A number of przctice games of basket- bail have oeen played during the last week, tu! the game which was of greatest interest was the one between the Incoe- nitos of Oakland and the Lawyers of San Francisco. The Lawyers made a splendid fight and securei the victory by one point, the score being 11 tc 10 in their favor. The line-up was as follows: Incognitos —E. C. Brown, George Lackey, Chear es Duinsmore, H. Laustenand O. R. Hunter. Lawyers—D. Williams, I. J. Truman Jr., C. B. Henderson, F. 8. Oliver and W. D. Deby. Although it was their first public ap- pearance as a competing team the Law- yers showed up well. They seem to be a Set of lively fellows mede of pretty good stuff.
