Cote, and Charles J. King, the secretary. His cred- itor is the San Francisco National Bank which loaned the defunct corporation $5000 on what the bank claims were the gnss- est of false representations. As soon as the collapse came the bank authorities communicated with the police, and detec- tives have been at work on the case ever since. They have been handicapped by their inability to locate either Cote or King, who have taken no pains to make themselves visible to visitors. The bank people say that when Cote asked for the loan of $5000 he submitted what he represented to be a true state- ment of his affairs pr'%,ared by James who was not His regular book- keeper and who is not now in the city. This statement showed that the financiai | condition of the California Packing Com- %any was first class and that it owed the | Pacific Vinegar and Pickle Works noth- |ing. Charles J.

Levi & Co., the wholesale gro- cers. These grocers owe the Pacific Vinegar and Pickle Works $559, while the books of the Pickle Works show that the indebtedness is an evident falsifica- tion of the records. H.

GOLD MINE FOUND IN MARIN COUNTY Rich Specimens of Quartz Picked Up by Two Young Men in an Aban- doned Tunuel. Special Dispateh to The Call. SAN RAFAEL, April 24—Ed Watson and Bert de la Montanya, young men of this place, claim to have discovered an exceedingly rich quartz mine in the range of hills north of San Rafael. Although both refuse to give the exact location of the mine, they state that they suppose their discovery to be a disused tunnel which was for some reason aban- doned by its owner, several rusty tools strewn about the mouth of the mine seeming to point to the ‘fact that it had been worked for some time. The discov- erers of the mine state that large quan- tities of rubble had been piled over the mouth of the shaft, as though to tonceal it from observation. The specimens of quartz which Watson and De la Montanya Claim to have picked up at random in the abandoned tunnel are exceedingly rich for this region, and the mine if developed may yleld a small fortune for its lucky discoverers.
