C., Nov. 13.—Treed by wolves for a day and a half was the re- markable experience of two Vancouver prospectors who have just arrived from north. The men were Francis John- stone and R. Rankin, who have been working all summer in various places in the north. They came down from the in- ssed over the channel to terior Prince: Island. From the coast they started packing supplies to a mine n the m ntain and it was while car- ng fr neat that they were attacked nd were forced to run for their lives | from the wolve: | There were a score of large timber | wolves in the pack, and the men had only | time to run to the foot of a tree and swing up into its branches. The wolves tore their packs to pieces and a few min- utes later t a vestige of even the leather straps remained. The men shouted at the | brutes and tried all kinds of ruses to | scare them away, but the animals only sat on their haunches or shifted their po- sition from one side of the tree to the other. A snowstorm raged for several hours and a he v wind followed, but the | wolves still kept up their vigil through | the night and the next day. Hungry and tired as _the men were they dared not move. That morning, however, their em- ployer at the camp started out to look for them and finally rescued them, after shooting a number of the wolves.

Noggle, who registered from San Francisco at the Olympia Hotel on Mon- day, committed suicide by taking car- | bolic acid some time during last night. Not having been seen during the day, the proprietor called him for dinner. Get- tng no response, he entered the room and found Noggle lying dead on the bed. Two empty carbolic acid bottles were_on the table. No money was found, but there were several Ictters from Noggle's father, written on United States Mint letterheads from San Francisco and signed “D. L. N.” Noggle was apparently 2 years of age and had on his person 2 number of pawn tickets for goods pawned in Seattle. He had asked his father for money and the letters indicate that the latter refused to send it. The father resides in Oakland. Noggle 1= a son of Borman L.

They closed their convention yesterday and will now spend a short time visiting points on the coast before leaving for their homes in the East. Manager E. S. Babcock tendered the railroad men a reception and ball in the Hotel Coronado this evening. One pleas- ant feature of the evening was the pres- entation of handsome souvenirs to George H. Nicholson, passenger traffic manager; J. J. Byrne, general passenger agent of the lines west of Albuquerque, and Jere- miah Black, general passenger agent of the Santa Fe main lines. These jolly rail- road men have done much to make the traveling passenger agents’ trip a success and the Easterners’ appreciation was shown in the applause that went up when President Garrigan gave them the pres- ents. Before leaving Los Angeles to-day the entire party was taken in special cars to Santa Monica. Many of the men em- braced the opportunity of going in surf bathing. All were tendered a luncheon in Santa Monica by the Los Angeles com- | mittee of traveling passenger agents be- fore leaving the beach. The programme for to-morrow includes a trip to Tia Juana, Mexicd. All are anxious to make the journey.

REDDING, Nov. 13.—The French-Glenn Livestock Company of Glenn County cap- italists, of which F. C., Lusk of Chico is the general manager, is working on a dredger with which to dig a ditch to drain the great Blitzen swamp in Ore- gon. The swamp, which has been the habitation of wild beasts for ages, is a wilderness of Harney County. It is twenty-five miles long by five to seven miles troad, and when drained it is esti- mated 60, acres of grazing and hay- producing land will be available. company has 75,000 head of cattle, besides many horses. In its present state Blitzen swamp is valueless, save as a hunting ground, It contains more ducks, geese, swans and pelicans, ornithologists say, than any other spot of like area on the globe. Myriads of birds arise whenever a gun is fired. There are thousands of acres of absolutely impenetrable thickets, where live huge bears and mountain lions that prey on the deer and antelope that abound in the open spots. The swamp is rich in fossil remains of extinct beasts, showing that it has been inhabited by ani- mals for ages. Many specimens have been dug up and carried away, and persons acquainted with the locality say that the draining of the swamp will disclose many interesting fossils. Fifty thousand dollars will be spent on the work. The ditch is to be dredged sixty feet wide by nine deep. It will fol- low the course of the Blitzen River for g:ll‘l;ty miles and empty into Malheur e. MRS.

Settlement Surrounding Al- toona Property Lies in Ruins. eSO Special Dispatch to The Call REDDING, Nov. 13.—Fire has swept Cinnabar, Trinity County, off the map. Of the mining camp and plant nothing re- mains standing but the hoisting works, and that is damaged. The loss will ap- proximate $75,000. The fire occurred yesterday morning. Meager news of it came to-day in a let- ter from Superintendent J. H. Porter. The blaze started.from the furnace. Cinnabar was built about the noted Al- toona quicksilver mine. Several months ago all work was stopped at the mine. The ore had been extracted from the up- per workings and the lower levels could not. be worked until the water in them was reduced, which process would prove very expensive. A large number of men had been employed and an extensive camp maintained. In addition to the.machinery and the machine houses, tramway and appurtenances, the office buildings, board- ing-houses, bunkhouses, residences, store, blacksmith shop, saloon and other build- | ings and their furnishings were destroyed. | There were only a few persons at the camp. It is difficult to arrive at the exact loss. Seven years ago the property owned by the company was insured for more than | $30,000 and was probably worth more than $50,000. The improvements added since that time will bring the loss up to at least $75,000, and it may be considerably more. The Altoona has produced a fortune in its time. Brigadier General Merriam Retires. WASHINGTON, Nov. 13—In conse- quence of his.retirement Brigadier Gen- eral Merriam was relieved formally of the command of the Department of the Colorado to-day. Telegraphic instructions were sent to Colonel Eighteenth Infantry, the next ranking officer, to assume command of the de- partment until a regular detail can be | in Washington | made. It is understood that Major General MacArthur is to be given command of the department ahout January 1, as his service upon the brevet board expires about that time. Colonel Sanno, who is now at Fort D. A. Rus- sell, Wyoming, will proceed at once to the quarters of the dcpartment at Denver. R e BlG EARTHQUAKE GHAKES UP UTAH Shock Lasts Fully Half a Minute in Some Localities. —_—— SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 13.—Specials to the Herald from various points in Southern Utah give meager accounts of a severe earthquake shock, which oc- curred shortly after 9:30 o’clock to-night. The shock, which lasted fully thirty sec- onds in some places, created general con- sternation among the inhabitants. The vibrations were northeast to southwest. Telegraphic communication to the dis. trict affected is very limited and full de- tails will not -be known until to-morrow. So far as reported no loss of life and comparativély little damage to property resulted. At Oasis, in Millard County, the people rushed into the streets expecting their homes to collapse. At Beaver, in Beaver County, the shock damaged the county court house and a number of other residences. A slight shock was felt in this city at 9:37 p..m., but was not severe enough to be generally noticeable. Illness of Holland’s Queen. BERLIN, Nov. 13.—The Kolnische Zeit- ung to-day says that the Queen of Hol- land is suffering from premature confine- ment, adding that there is no cause for alarm. The Vossische Zeitung says it learns that Queen Wilhelmina was prematurely delivered of a child November 10, and that the Queen’s condition is satisfactory. @ it @ lish a large trust company here which will do a banking business and provide means for financing large American un dertakings, these being continually grow- ing in importance. Present Mexican legislation does not contemplate trust companies as they are known in the United States, and there will have to be extensive changes made in existing laws to give full scgpe to a trust company. ‘These steps, It is now said, are under consideration by the government. It is understood that this country’s business development has reached a point where trust companies are necessary. Old established banking interests resent the increase of American financial influ ence and will probably make opposition te changing the :aws so as to make them favorable to the new American financiai project. However, the administration is not hostile to American business interests and will probably favor a large trust com pany, which will surely assume an im- rortant place in the banking world here Made-to-Order’10” Don’t think that our $10.00 suits are any one particular suit made from one line of goods.
