TO BE THE ORPHEUM’S BEST GENEROUS MAY OF TALENT IS ALREADY ASSURED. The Charitable May Now Aid the Children’s Hospital and Enjoy a Rare Artistic Treat in the Bargain, One of the most worthy institutions in this city s sadly in need of funds with which to carry on its good work. The name of the institution has only to be mentioned when the charitably inclined people of this city will know that the cause is truly a worthy one. It is the Children’s Hospital, and for | some time the good ladies who devote their time to its welfare have been seri- ously hampered in their work for want of sufficient funds. Now Morris Meyerfeld, president of the ‘Walter Orpheum, has generously donated the use of the Orpheum Theater for a monster benefit, and every cent taken in at the box office on that afternoon will go to swell the hospital funds. There will be no deduction made for rent, lights, em- ployes or music. Whatever comes. in is Jjust so much added to the funds that the ladies will have on hand to alleviate the sufferings of the little children in the hospital wards. Manager Morrisey of the Orpheum has secured the services of all the Orpheum artists and a number of volunteer talent as well. Harry Orndorff, the Orpheum's stage manager, and his corps of stage- hands will contribute their services, and Director Rosner and Leader Jaulus of the Orpheum orchestra have prepared a spe- c]lsl musical programme for this occa- sion. fihe list of talent includes the Arbras ropeen acrobats and musiclans, the four Avolos, the London xylophone won- de Max Cincinnati, Europe’s most clever comic juggler; Johnnie Carrol and Adje Crawford, in their black-face spe- clalties; George Evans, monologue artist; Barton Hill and Charles Willard, assisted by Ella Sothern and Lucila Nunn, and the great Papinta, with her wonderful myriad dances. She will have something new to offer on this day, and in addition will give her services as a flower girl. Then there is Querita Vincent from the Olympia. Miss Vincent was recently brought out from New York for an engagement at the Olympia, and she has proved as great a favorite at that house as she i{s in New York. She will sing her latest songs and dance her great cakewalk dance. Little Biddle and Master Mangles will appear In their clever juvenile dances and songs, This little pair of volunteers are only six and seven years of age, but they want to do what they can toward this good cause. Some twenty or more of the leading lady members of the Columbla, Tivoll and Al- cazar companies have offered their serv- ices in the selling of flowers and pro- grammes. With such an array of talent the Or- pheum ought to be packed to its fullest capaclty on this occasion, It looks as though there would be a $150 show at the nominal price 10, 25 and 50 cents. For this matinee the Orpheum management hds agreed that evening prices shall be charged. This s something out of the ordinary for the Orpheum. But it is de- sired that the hospital funds should be increased to the greatest possible amount, g{:d tudr tll%ls ren%on evening prices are arged. Reserved seats are now on s: at the Orpheum box office. 7 Eec—epfion Invlt:ttons. For the engraving of invitations for weddings and receptions Messrs. Cooper & Co. have unexcelled facilities.

Dave Nagle and His Ready Gun Were Con-~ nected With the Job—Gold Diggers of Tuolumne Are Aroused. HE miners and merchants of Tuol- umne County, who have often read I of the devious methods of W. FA“ Herrin in his various capacities as general manipulator of the Southern Pa- | cific’s dubious schemes, not only believe these charges made against him, but by | the diggers in the mines about Sonora he! is considered a heartless, oppressive man, who is using his great power of wealth and position to defraud a poor old Italian | miner of a valuable mine. Herrin's zlgel\té‘ in this instance is the notorious Dave Nagle, whose reputation is too well known to require airing. Herrin’s operations in this mining deal are nothing less than claim-jumping, if the statements of the oppressed miner, his lawyer and his friends are true. From the United States Land Office at Stockton and the attorney for an Op- pressed miner at Sonora The Call has| obtained the facts contained in the story of the Carlotta Mining Company, of which W. F. Herrin is president and Dave Nagle superintendent. This company has applied for a patent on a mine which has been in the undisputed possession of one man for over forty years, and by a most | peculiar error the surveyor who was em- | ployed by both sides made a plat locating | the original owner on a site six miles from his original location. Herrin's com- pany was located on the proper range,| and the land office refuses to correct the; surveyor’'s mistake. | A m)an employed to do assessment work | by the original and rightful owner of the mine in question has been driven from his work by Dave Nagle, who stood with a rifle in his hand and threatened to kill any man who interfered with the scherqe he has charge of. Tuolumne miners are peaceful, law-ablding citizens, who hate injustice and despise a swindler. These hardy men have no fear of Dave Nagle's ever ready gun, and should his finger ever press the trigger and harm an in- offensive man in that section his punish: ment will be swift and sure. These nien who are wresting wealth from the rocks are more than indignant at the treatment | one of their kind has received from Her-| rin, Nagle & Co., and they unhesitatingly denounce the legal adviser of the Hunt- ingtons. \gh'z.\\' back in 1850 Francisco Cardemar- tori located the Venus claim and re- mained in undisputed possession of the property up to a year ago. He worked hgrd and incessantly to develop the prop- erty, and success was about to crown his vears of labor and poverty, when he| learned that several rich and powerful | men claimed his property. The Carlotta | mine had been located in 1889, and was | being worked by its owners, Sutton and Symons, who sold out to the company which now seeks control of and title to the major portion of the Venus claim. Cardemartori believed the Carlotta was the adjoining claim to his own, on which he had labored for over forty years. Be- lieving his title was safely established and not expectin~ an attempt would be made to rob him of his mine, he paid no attention to the work being done on the mine near his own. He was fortunate enough to strike a rich vein and was just beginning to develop it. Never antici- pating that his claim was practically the same as the Carlotta, the aged miner con- tinued his dally efforts to extract the pre- cious gold from nature’s strong box, se- renely indifferent to the operations going on not far from his tunnel. The Carlotta claim was un for sale for several years, but no one famillar with the country or the conditions would buy it, as it was not patented, and the old Italian’s claim was recognized as .ne bet- ter of the two. Many miners also knew there was a conflict in the claims, but as the question had never been brought to an issue the matter only came up when references to the sale of the Carlotta were made, About a year ago agents of H. BE. Huntington and Herrin went to Tuolumne County to seek some good min es! ments. One of these agents was Nagle, who was not known except by his unenviable reputation at that time. “llv- liam Symons, Fred Sutton and F. 'W. Street, the owners of the Carlotta, sold their interests in the mine to the repre- sentatives of the railroad people. Before the sale was consummated, howewrf these agents were informed by a hal dozen Tuolumne miners that the old Ital- jan had a better title to the property than the vendors. To one of these people Dave Nagle is reported to have sald: “We have bought all the interests we intend to buy, and we will get that mine. Soon after this Herrin's company filed an application for a patent on the Car- lotta mine. This application was pub- lished according to law and, seeing the notices bearing the description of the Carlotta claim, Cardemartori learned for the first time that the mine on which ne had spent his life and labor was claimed by others. He went to his American friends for advice and they told him to go to the Carlotta people and explain his position and sell out. Acting on this coun- sel the old Itallan sent a friend, who was coming to San Francisco, to see Herrin. The miner called at the yellow building and_after waiting nearly a whole day finally succeeded In seeing the grand po- litical mogul. Herrin would not listen to the man and dismissed the interviewer with a heartless ‘sentence. The rights of the poor old septuagenarian miner did not concern him, e would be guided wholly by his agents—and gun-fighter Dave Na- gfe was one of these. Cardemartorl again sought his friends and they told him to get a lawyer to pro- tect his rights against the heartless har- ples who were trying to oust him from his property. John P. O'Brien, the Sonora attorney, took the miner’s case in hand and prepared to file an adverse claim, giv- ing a survey and agpendlng the facts al. ready stated. The Carlotta company had flled their application for a patent, hav- ing their alleged claim surveyed by Dep- uty Surveyor Barton of Sonora. Attor- ney O'Brien protested against the Issu- ance of the patent on the Carlotta and then set about to prepare his client’s case for submission to the Land Office officials. Surveyor Barton was emploved to sur- vey the Venus claim. He made the neces- sary drawings, delivered them to O'Brien and submitted the plat and afiidavits to the Land Office at Stockton. Several months elapsed, when the Land Office finally informed Cardemartori that mony.

Attorney O'Brien saw at once that an error, inexcusable by the way, had been committed, and he endeavored to have it corrected. He was informed at the Land Office that, notwithstanding a clerical er- ror hug been made, no remedy was to be had. The lawyer then obtained a cor- rected plat from Surveyor Barton and also his affidavit that the Venus mine was located on range 16. This was also thrown out by the officials at Stockton, An ap- peal was taken to the General Land Of- fice and the action of the local receiver was sustained. This left Cardemartorl but one more chance to hold his mine. He must appeal to the Secretary of the Interior. This was done, and the briefs, affidavits and plats were sent on last week. An action to restrain the Carlotta mine from encroach- ing upon the claim of Cardemartori is also pend “5 in the Superior Court of Tuol- umne County. While his” attorney was attending to the legal technicalities of the ease the aged owner of the Venus, to protect his rights, prepared to do the assessment Wwork on his claim. Last December, near the end of the month, when but few days ment work could be done, Cardemartori began his task. He employed Joe Rollert, Wwho worked all one week and went to his home Sunday. Monday morning Ralleri returned to his work. Dave Nagle and two comganiuns were at the Venus, wait- ing for him. The assessment work had been obliterated and Rolleri’s tools bur- led or thrown away. Nagle, who was armed with a rifle, ordered Rolleri to move on and told him if he was caught around there again he would kill him and bury him in a prospect hole. Nagle's re- peated threats and his readiness to make good those threats have no terror for many miners in Tuolumne, and more than one indignant knight of the drill who knows the particulars of the Carlotta deal has declared that the career of the Southern Pacific's bad man will come to a sudden close if he becomes ‘“too pro- ml:jcu(\us.” Nagle is the ogtensible superintendent of the Carlotta mine, but the citizens of Tuolumne, who know his record, are sat- isfied he 1S only Serving Herrin and Hunt- ington In their endeavor to obtain posses- sion of a valuable mine by fighting away the rightful owner. at Sonora say the Venus claim 1s a good one, and in its present condition is easily worth $10,000, and the veln is considered one of great promise. The mine is lo- cated near Cherokee, about twelve miles from Sonora. Cardemartori located the Venus claim in 1850, and later mortgaged and sold it to Captain” Lombardo, who took many thousands from it. The mine was aban- doned for a while, but in 180 Lombardo and the present owner relocated it. Lom- bardo dled, leaying his interest to his partner. ~The Carlotta was located by Sutton about a dozen years ago. Since the 1st of January, according to reports in Sonora, the Cariotta company has leased the mine to which they claim ownership. It is said that C, P. Hunting- ton gave peremptory orders to his nephew and Herrin that they must cease mining or railroading. “They obeyed by leasing their mines, but they still retained owner- ship and direct the lessee's conduct of the property.
