INYD A blG GOPPER REGION. County East of Sierras Shows Up Well in Minerals. Dredging for Gold Takes on Still Larger Propor- tions. i One of the largest undeveloped copperl belts of the State, so reads & bulletin just issued by the State Mining Bureau, is in the Saline Valley, in Inyo County. This fact has been known to geologists, but to many others the announcement | will be 2 surprise. The fact ilustrates the wide distribution of copper ores in California. The same bulletin contains a collection of other mineral facts of inter- est concerning the county which les be- iween the Slerras and the State of Ne-| vada. More than 35,000 acres of niter land | have been located in the southeastern portion of the county, but are not yet de- veloped. Oil indications are favorable in Owens Valley and natural gas has been discovered about Owens Lake. Hot springs are pumerous, notably the gey- and hot springs of the Coso district. e guantities of dolomite await better ortation facilities. Marble from Inyo County was used in | the construction of the Mills building in | n Francisco. The deposits of borax { and salt are large. Owens Lake is the | producer of natural soda in the | States. Quartz mining is steadily | in importance. The county is P rich in lead ores, carrying goid as well as silver. Quantities of antimony are found in the Wild Rose district.

Special Dispatch to The Call. SPOKANE, June 28.—While.B. W. Brantley, a prospector, was pinned to the ground by a mass of rock, he witnessed the slow suffocation of his only son. Brantley was unable to move, but his head was free of the earth which had fallen upon him during a cave in & pros- peci hole where he was working. ~After the death of his son, at about 4 0'élock in the afrernoon, Brantleys remained in his perilous position until nearly noon the | next day, when a party of rescuers found him half dead from exposure and mental | agony. The tragedy occurred on Big Creek, about six miles efist of Kellogg, Idaho, a #mall town in the Coeur d’'Alenes. News of it came to-day, when the son’s body was brought to Kellogg for burial. Brantley and the lad were working in | the prospect together. The hole was but | a few feet deep. Suddenly a cave oc- curred, catching Brantley and) pinning im to the ground. His son, who is 14 years of age, tried to assist_his father, but a second cave oc- curred and the boy was buried, while more garth was thrown upon the father. The boy talked with his father and said “Good-by” as he was slowly expiring, Brantley said to-day that only a little earth covered the lad, but his limbs were pinned down. Brantléy passed a horrible vight of vigil near the body of his son, being unable to move an inch. Brantley's family, alarmed at the non- return of father and son, organized a searching party in the morning and the man was rescued from his perilous posi- tion. The terrible night had nearly be- reft him of his reason. Bud Brantley, the boy, was a popular young fellow. ] PAST NOBLE GRANDS ARE GIVEN EMBROIDERED REGALIA The meeting hall of California Rebekah Lodge, I. O. O.

TACOMA, June 28.—Tracy and Merrill, the escaped Oregon convicts, were seen yesterday and again this morning in the | woods near Winlock. They were heavily armed. The outlaws were seen yesterday by Section Foreman Gaume and his men & half-mile east of Ainslie. They claimed they were going to Toledo and started down the military road in that direction. A son of James Ferrier of Little Falls iraveled with them for a mile. He says they were very nervous and held their rifles in readiness when they saw any one approaching. Seeing a tramp lying along- side the track they raised their rifles to fire. His identity was revealed and they ]deslsted. They told the boy they were i soldiers looking for Tracy and Merrill. Deputy Sheriff McKay of Ellensburg and Guard Carson of Walla Walla ar- rived to-day at Castle Rock with blood- hounds, but were unable to pick up the trail. Sheriff Huntington of Cowlitz County has arrived at Winlock and taken charge of the pursuing party there. After resting/ the bloodhounds will again start after the fugitives. REDDING, June 28.—Robert 'W. Jones, who was jailer in the Aspen, Colo., jail in 1897 and who was reported to have been killed by Harry Tracy while the lat- ter was preparing to_escape from that jail, is in Redding. Jones had not told of his experience with Tracy until to-day, when he made a statement that surprised his friends. Jones was jailer in the Pike County, Colo., jail in 1897 and during that year Harry Tracy was imprisoned there for the murder of a man named Hoyle in Utah. Tracy and gnother prisoner named Lant had escaped from a Utah prison and were recaptured after a fight in Rout County, Colo. That country had no strong jail and the murderers were taken to_ Aspen. On June 19 Jones had given them their supper and leaned over to pick up the dishes. Like a flash Tracy dealt Jones a blow upon the head with an iron bar, which he had concealed. Jones was struck two more blows as he fell. Tracy took the keys and revolver from the jail- er's pockets and he and Lant escaped. Jones, after a hard fight with death, re- covered. His head is deeply marked with the scars of the convict's blows. Tracy was not recaptured and was next heard of in Portland in 1898, when he and Merrill were sentenced to fourteen years in the Salem Penitentiary for robbery. A year ago Robert Jones went to Salem and asked for Tracy. He was shown a room where convicts were cutting stone. Jones at once recognized Tracy. The con- | vict turned and saw Jones, whom he be- lieved to be dead, and almost collapsed. Jones left without a word. { Jones says Tracy is the most desperate | criminal in the country. He believes that | Tracy is making for the Utah Mountains, where he knows every fastness. “BOHEMIAN GIRL” GIVEN WITH GREAT SUCCESS St. Dominic’s Choral Union and Juvenile Minstrels at Ocean View. “The Bohemian Girl” was sung last evening in the new St. Michael’s Church at Ocean View by members of St. Domi- nic’s Choral Union.

Eastern Boiler-Makers on the Santa Fe in Doubtiul Mood, OMAHA, June 28.—After a conference lasting just five minutes this afternoon the executive committee of the machin- ists of the Union Pacific Railroad declare they have ordered all machinists on the system to quit work before Monday morning. The demands which were pre- sented by the men and refused by the reilroad officials were for a 3 per cent in- crease in salary, reinstatement of all dis- charged machinists and no piece work. The strikers claim to be well prepared for a strike, and to-day the committee began issuing relief from the treasury. a4 number of locomotives en route to Omaha and will not suffer for engines for months. 3 TOPEKA, Kans., June 28.—The boiler- makers here are divided in sentiinent re- garding the probability of a general bolil- er-makers’ strike on the Santa Fe system. A part of the men believe they will be ordéred out and that the strike will be declared within a week. An order to sirike would be obeyed by the boiler- makers here, but they do not disguise the fact that they are much against a pro- ceeding of that kind. They argue that the Western strikers should be willing to bear thefr own burdens in this particular instance. BAI.I:IE'I‘ IS ANXIOUS FOR ANOTHER TRIAL Mar Convicted of Using the Mails Fraudulently Accuses the . Jury: DES MOINES, Iowa, June 28.—Judge Charles A. Bishop of the Supreme Court filed a motion for a new trial to-day on behalf of Letson Balliet, who was found guilty three weeks ago by a jury in the Uuited States District Court of using the n:alls with intent to defraud. The grounds for the motion are chiefly technical. Em- mett Callahan of Baker City, Or., Bal- liet’s Western attorney, joins with Judge Bishop in the application for a rehearing of the case. There are nineteen counts in the mo- tion. One of the most sweeping charges in the paper is that the ‘“‘verdict is clearly the result of passion and prejudice on the part of the jury trying the case.” The de- fendant’s attorneys declare that ‘‘the evi- dence In this case fails to show that any offense such as that charged in the in- dictment was committed by the defend- ant.” In . conclusion the petition say “'The court erred in instructing the jury that if defendant as a witness had not fully explained matters material to the issues in the case and which were natur- ally within his knowledge, then the jury might consider such a circumstance as tending to show that the facts, if ex- plained, would bear out the contention of the Government and that his failure to explain them is against him.” The motion for a new trial has been for- warded to Judge Munder of Omaha, who presided over the trial in which Balliet was found guilty.” A time for hearing arguments on the motion will be probably set in the near future, e Troop A Breaks Camp.

Qakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, June The Grand Jury has delayed final ac- tion in the investigation of the charges against County Assessor Henry P. Dalton and G. B. Daniels, manager of the En- quirer Publishing Company. After a two hours' session this morning the bedy ad- journed. at noon until Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. z Speculation coneerming the causg for the postponement of the fling of a re- pert was lively. The cause of the delay was in large measure due to the desire of' District Attorney Allen for more time in which to examine the testimony al- ready presented touching the connectlon ot Manager Daniels with the alleged con- zplracy in the matter of the $1500 book leal. it is also well authenticated that the Grand Jury is not yet réady to return bills against Russell, Stedman and M. de L. Hadley of the Enquirér, whose offense is, aceording to the uneovering of evi- | dence, the concealment, of alleged crime. a The rehearing of the cases affect- ing Hadley and Stedman leaves the way open now for the expression of a doubt whether the Grand Jury will return in- dictments against thesé' men. In fact, it has become curremt talk that the moves made to-day are indicative of the with- drawal of the bills which the Grand Jury voted the other day to have drgwn and brought before them by the District At- torney. The only witness before the Grand Jufy to-day was Deputy County Clerk Frank H. Mason, who has charge of the bills and claims that are filed agalnst the county. It was through his hands that the claims passed for the §1500 worth of bocks after George Oakes had sworhi 10 their correctne: District Attorney Allen was in consul- tation with the jury for a short time. it-is by no means certaif that the Grand Jury will render a final report on Tues- day. In view of the disclosures which have been made concerning the methods employed in handling eounty printing, it is strongly suspected that there will be an overhauling of the system by which the supplies in this connection have been manipulated, ‘There is also the likelihood that the Grand Jury will call for further testl- mony in the main investigation. That depends in large measure upen the atti- tude of the District Attorney toward the evidence already presented as affecting Daniels, Dalton and Oakes, There is a mass of testimony at present mot trans- cribed, and the District Attorney must depend upon the reading from the stenog- rapher’s notes to get the whole effect of the cases as they stand. He is in touch with the Grand Jury to advise them con- cerning the law and to inferm them as to the offense that may be charged a2gainst any or all of the men under in- vestigation.
