Reveals His Secret While In- toxicated in a Tucson Saloon. R Special Dispatch to The Call. | TUCSON, Ariz, Aug. 3L.—A party of ers from Wilcox have returned from the bonanza placer diggings which were | recently discovered four miles from Dos | Cubezas mining camp. They report that toe diggin; are rich in gold and are more | extensive than they expected. Some big nuggets have been taken out and there is considerable excitement at Dos Cabezas d Wilcox. The discovery was made by a Mexican | shepherd some time ago, but he kept it secret. A few days ago he was discharged and went to Dos Cabezas, where he be- came intoxicated. His money gave out | and a saloon keeper refused to give him | more whisky. The Mexican flashed a bot- | tle which was filled with nuggets of gold | and at once efforts were begun to learn whence the gold came. The Mexican did not have to pay for any more whisky during his stay in camp. He refused to reveal the location of the goid fields, but a friend who arrived in camp persuaded the discoverer to take him out to the dig- gings. A large number of claims have been | stuked out and half dozen Americans are | ing out from $5 to $15 a day. They re- | | port that the ground becomes richer as | they get to bedrock. Water is scarce in | the ca and they are compelled to pack gravel which bears gold to a distant stream. Iu appears that considerable gold which has been sold in Tucson and elsewhere came from these new diggings, which | were discovered months ago by the shep- | herd and were worked quietly. | REPLIES TO PROTEST 'OF PRUNE COMBINE | Packers’ Company Declares It Is the Frowers ‘Who Are Violating | Contracts. | SAN JOSE, Aug. 31.—S.

A stage had been erected at one end, while the balance of the space was given overto seats, which, thougk accommodating | nearly 200, were altogether too few for the number that had congregated to watch their champions attempt to be as funny as they are reputed to be.

Dr. Green did his famous hobo act and did it so well that the stuffed property uneasiness. The monologue part of the entertain- ment was assigned to “Binky”” McKinnon. “Binky” gave a very clever talk, parody- ing life on the arks and pointing out in his inimitable manner the fancies and foibles of the curfous persons who are to be found stranded along the streiches of these shores.

From start to finish the show went along with remarkable smoothness. There was but one intermission and that was charmingly filled in by a violin solo by Miss Grace Saunderson. Maurice Kramer and Miss Elsie Maxwell acted as accom- panists, and not a little of the pleasure of the evening is to be attributed to the excellence of their work. The affair was a success and as every one had something to do with it. every one is happy. e OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COASTY Changes Made In the Postal Service and More New Pensions Issued.
