CHINA DOES NOT SANCTION BOYCOTT So Declares a Journalist on Way to Attend Peace Conference. VICTORIA, B. C., July 28.—Dr. Morri- son, Keking correspondent for the London Times, arrived by the steamship Tartar on hie way to Washington to at- peace negotiations. Interviewed the boycott established by Chi- Amefican merchants and in China he said he did not think the movement would assume great proportions. While it was-a boycott on er scale than any previously at- tempted in China, it was without Govern- ment sanction, as had been alleged, and the end of June. shortly before he left Peking, an imperial edict was sent to the governors and viceroys of provinces or- dering them to do what they could to the movement. nese cities it was not considered that the movement is sufficlently serfous to cause alarm Regarding the report telegraphed from Shanghai that Japanese influences were believed to be behind the movement the well-known journalist said he did not believe this for an mstant. Just now, | he said, the tendency was to blame the Japanese for evervthing that took place in the Orient. From his own observa- tions he learned the Japanese have the best feeling toward the United States. elteadri oo AGED CITIZEN OF REDDING 1S CHARGED WITH ARSON Is Believed by Authorities’ to Be Re- sponsible for the Recent Con- flazrations.

Perry, the only officer who lost his life in the disaster on the gun- boat Bennington. Rev. J. A. M. Richey was in charge, assisted by Bishop J. H. Johnson of Los Angeles and Chaplain Stone of the flagship Chicago. Com- mander Young and officers and men of the Bennington, officers and men from the Chicago, active and retired army of- ficers, councilmen, heads of city depart- ments, companions of the military order of the Loyal Legion, officers from Fort Rosecrans, officers of the Naval Re- serves, local Federal officers and officers and members of the Chamber of Com- merce were present. The general public was not admitted, owing to the limited capacity of the church. The remains will be taken to Stockbridge, Mass., for in- terment to-morrow afternoon. The bodies of the sailors who were buried in the Military Cemetery on Point | Loma are not to remain where they were laid with impressive ceremonies. Now that they are at rest, the officials have discovered that after the Maine disaster | Congress enacted a law providing for the transmission of the bodies of dead sallors After the explosion the undertakers telegraphed to the nearest relatives of the dead men for instructions regarding the disposition of the remains. In many cases answers were made that | the bodies should be shipped at the Gov- ernment's expense. Accordingly, the bodies of the forty-nine boys which were interred, unembalmed, in the little burial ground on the hill, will be exhumed. Now Paymaster Morris is telegraphing to rela- tives that upon request the bodies will be disinterred and sent home at the ex- pense of the Government. So far, such a request has come for two of the bodies, and it is likely that a majority of them will be exhumed and sent away. Among the bodies not buried those of the following have just been sent away: C. L. Burns, to Chicago; Andrew Kamer- er, to Londonville, Ohio; Joseph New- come, to Quincy, Mass.; Emil Dresch, to Des Moines, lowa; Willlam Fickweiler, to La Porte, Ind.; John C. Barchus, to Clarinda, Jowa. Charles O. McKeons’ re- maifns will be forwarded to Fenton, Mich., this evening. The condition of the injured at the pri- vate hospitals shows little change, except that C. Schultz has recovered sufficiently to be removed to the Barracks Hospital, and W. A. Holley is improving.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, UDGE REBUKES SLEUTH (IBSON Detective in Collins Case Told He Must Not Bother Keeper of Court Records PROSECUTION IS ENDED Defense Will Now Have a Chance to, Offer Evidence in Favor of the Accused VICTORIA, B. C., July 28—The case for the prosecution was closed this after- noon in the extradition proceedings against George D, Collins, a fugitive San Francisco lawyer, wanted for perjury. Mr. Whiting, Assistant District Attorney of San Francisco, was further cross- examined by the accused, who questioned his knowledge of the law. J. J. Groom, clerk of the San Franclsco court, gave evidence from the minutes of the court that had decided it had jurisdiction over the case of Charlotta CoMins vs. Collins for maintenance, out of which the per- Jury charge arose. The demurrer was overruled in the case. Collins sought to show, on cross- examination of Whiting, that the court had no jurisdiction. Detective Gibson of San Francisco was censured by Judge Lampman this afternoon for having ad- dressed a query to the stenographer ask- ing if Collins' counsel, H. D. Helmcken, had asked the official to alter one of the answers of J. J. Groom in the record. The Judge said investigation had shown Helmcken had merely asked the steno- grapher if the notes confirmed a news- paper report of the evidence, and Gibson was warned not to interfere again with the court officials. Notary A. J. Henry of San Francisco gave out a statement to-day regarding the alleged tampering with him by Col- lins, in which he stated Collins had se- cured a statement containing a record of his evidence from him on false represen- tation, that it was required to be shown to Justice Duff, and Colling’ statement to the contrary was false. PROFTS SHALL OFFCAL S Superintendent of Two Rail-z roads Makes Report to| the Board of Equalization | —_— SACRAMENTO, July 28.—T. F. Dun- away, vice president and general man- ager of the Sierra Valley Railway and the Nevada-California-Oregon Railway, appeared before the State Board of Equalization this morning to afford the members such information as they might require. The Sierra Valley road has 37.98 miles of track, valued at $37,230. Its rolling stock is valued at $830. The | gross earnings for the year were $24,893 12 and the operating expenses $35,153 55, leaving a net income from operation of $9739 57. The interest on the funded debt, taxes, etc., amounts to $31,287 60, which leaves a deficit of $21,313 68, according to the report. The Nevada-California-Oregon Road has 143.84 miles of road, valued at| $117, The rolling stock is valued | at $17,050. The gross earnings from | operation were $204,200 96. The oper- ating expenses were $115,336 37, leav- ing a net income from operating of | $85,864 59. Income from miscellaneous sources amounted to $2,655 98, giving a total net income of $91,520 57. Interest | on the funded debt, taxes, betterments, additions, etc., amounted to $60,352 05, leaving a surplus of $31,168 52. In speaking of the business of the road Dunaway said that there had been no increase in the volume over the preceding year. The transportation of cattle, lJumber and the products of the country was the main income of the two roads. COAL CORPORATIONS ARE TO BE MERGED Holdings Involved in Merger Said to Be Worth $50,000.000. COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 27.—Coal, rail- road and dock properties conservatively estimated to be worth $50,000,000, in which Columbus capital is largely interested, have been combined into one éompany at a meeting held in New York. It will be the second largest coal cor- poration in the world and will be known as the Sunday Creek Company. Beveral coal corporations owing prop- ertles scattered through Ohio and West Virginia and employing in the neighbor- hood of 16,000 men are to operate under one directorate and set of officers.

NEW 60 LD DREDGING FIELDS W BE EXPLOITED. 1L N0 Operations Begin in Merced River and Plumas County Gravels. Mining Development Takes a Marked Stride in Placer and Amador. New gold dredging flelds are about to be exploited. Prospectors have been try- ing the land on the east side of the Sac- ramento River near Colusa. An Oroville company has bonded 2000 ‘ acres mnear Snelling on the Merced River bottom and has begun to drill for indications. In both instances the prospectors are confldent of success. Another mining enterprise is the mining of the bed of Clear Creek, Shasta County. The creek bed will be bared for some distance to get the gold from the gravel. W. P. Hammon will make tests on Spanish Creek, Plumas County, a&s & preliminary to dredging if the drill dis- coveries warrant. Considerable development is reported in Placer County. The Colfax Sentinel says that after eleven months of work gravel has been struck in the Dardanelles mine at Forest Hill. The Paragon, Buckeye, Baltimore, Mayflower, Red Point, Prairie Flower, Santa Fe, X Ray, Shger and Hid- den Treasure mines are operating in dif- ferent parts of Placer. The heaviest op- erations that have ever taken place on the Forest Hill divide are now progress- ing at the Cash Rock mine at Channel Bend. A dredger is constantly running. The Evening Star and Dunlap mines near Auburn have been bonded recently. Something is under way in Amador County properties. The Ledger says that a 10-stamp mill will be erected at the Climax mine as the result of the discov- ery of the ledge at increased depth. The Gravel Top mine at Pine Grove, common- ly known as the Wheeler placer mine, will operate by hydraulic process as soon as the flumes are completed. The water has been taken from the Mitchell mine and inspection is going on preliminary to a possible purchase of the property by new parties. A deal has been completed in Shasta County for the purchase of the Lyons group of mines in the old Diggings dis- trict by the National Consolidated Min- ing Company. The final payment was made the past week. MINE WITH A HISTORY. The Redding Searchlight reports that the Gladstone mine, near Redding, in French Guich, is dropping twenty stamps continuously in ore and that the regular monthly shipment of bullion from the mine is between $50,000 and $60,000. Not many years ago this property was sold for $7000 to cover some scattering debts. A Pennsylvania syndicate hau expended a sum largely in excess of receipts in op- erating. The mine was seemingly un- profituble, History in California mining was ready to repeat itself. The property that was considred to be unprofitable is reported to have yielded $1,000,000 since it was bought for $7000. Shortly after the sale at a very low price the running of a short crosscut brought to light a large body of good ore and the speculation in Gladstone turned out to be excellent. There will be less danger in Lue deserts of Kern, Inyo, Los Angeles, San Diego and other counties in the future than there has been In the past. The Los An- geles Chamber of .Commerce has agreed to furnish maps and the work of erecting sign posts for the guidance of mining prospectors and others who travel on the desert ‘has begun. Wells will be im- proved and water holes will be enlarged. In a bulletin on gold dredging, issued by the California State Mining Bureau, some estimates are made of the acreage in gravel in California that is under con- sideration for dredging. This is summed up by districts as follows: Oroville, 7500; Yuba River, 5000; Bear River, 1000; Fol- som, 5000; Calaveras, 350; Stanislaus, 1200; Trinity, 1000; Shasta, 1500; Siskiyou, 1060; Plumas, 1500. The total is 25,000 acres. In this .connection the bulletin sets forth the following facts: In Stanislaus County coneiderable prospe ing has been done, and about 1200 acres has been proved to contain values sufficlent to warrant dredging. In Shasta County drill- ing is being done on Cottonwood Creek and on land opposite Redding on the Sacrameto River, and on Clear Creek. In_EI Dorado County some_land on the South Fork of the Ameri- can River, near Coloma, is being considered, but mot yet reported proved. In all these districts, and at other points in the Sac- ramento watershed especially, there are con— siderable areas of dredge gravel, most of which- have been more or less examined but not proved to be of sufficient value to work at the present cost. The best dredge authori- ties claim that by proving good grade of pay in some of this outlying ground and reducing working costs, at least 25000 acres will in time be added to the flelds which it is al- ready ~decided to dredge in the Sacramento Valley. The outout of gold in 1803 from all the dredges in Californla, according to the re- turns made to the United States Mint, was $1,475,749] The yleld for 1902 was $S67,665, showink an increase of $608,054 for 19G3. 'The Teturns for 1003 were from 25 dredges in the Oroville_district in Butte County, 3 dredg in the Folsom district in Sacramento County, 1" dredge in Siskiyou County, 1 dredge in Tri: ity County and 1 dredge in Yuba County. Of the total for 1803, $1,520,008 came from Butte County, meaning the Oroville district. There will be an increase for 1804 beyond the pro- portionate inerease in the number of dredges, Pecause the new dredges are of larger ca- pacity and improvements have been made in the old dredses. . At the beginning of 1905 there were in the Oroville _district 28 dredges; in Calaveras | County, 1 dredge: in the Folsom district, 5| dredges; in -Shasta County, 2 dredges: in Trinity County, 1 dredge; in Siskivou County. 1 dredge; In Yuba County, 2 dredges; total, | 40 a as against 31 dredges for 1908, | Some of ine. dredges worked only part of 1603, having been bullt during the vear. Tak- ing 'Into consideration the increased average yardage of these dredges and the fact that a humber of new ones will by in operation dur- ing part of the year, the yield for 1905 may Dbe expected to be considerably more “than double that of 1003. NEW MINING DISTRICTS. A new mining district to be known as the South Bullfrog has been or- ganized by miners in the Funeral Range of mountains, with boundaries as follows: Beginning at Surveyors' Wells in Death Valley, thence easterly to the boundary line of California and Nevada, thence southwesterly along the State boundary to the northeasterly line of the Eehd Canyon Mining dis- trict and east of Furnace Creek Ranch, thence northeasterly to Surveyors’ ‘Wells and the point of beginning. «The Los Angeles Herald dlscovers that in Southern Nevada there are large areas skirting the Salt Lake Railroad that promise to become well known for their mines. The territory lies north of Nippeno and Good Springs. Mountains are numerous and t greater portion are to & large extent miner rock, and between in many Instances lie under the Influence of water made productive of cereals, fruits and vegetables of various kinds. As moun- tains are prospected for the precious metals 0 can the valleys and gulches and other points be prospected for water and oftener than has been done a_bounteous supply can be oblained. This is probably the fact with the section of the country along the route from Good Spri: to Sandy, to and the great Pab- o n‘nu‘ h. The distances are: Good Springs nd repairing, can be ma class condition and. caally kept sa. ; A new oll district has been found in It is about 150 miles north and east of Las Vegas and about fifty miles from the Salt Lake Railroad in ‘Washington County in the Virgin River section. , ¥ The value of mines is very well il- L 1ustrated by the fact that sixty-nine metal mines and works situated In eleveri States and Territories declared dividends during the six months end- ing June 30 that amounted to 325, 558,356. The greater part of this large sum was pald by properties that had| previously returned nearly or all their | authorized capitalization in dividends. Forty per.cent of the total in amount were paid by fifteen copper mines in Montana, Michigan, Arizona and Utah. Gold, silver and lead mines paid ¢8 per cent of the whole, or $11,855,683. Seven zine mines paid $§700,000 in round fig- ures. .alifornia quicksilver properties paid ,50,000. Montana holds first place among the mine dividend-paying States and Territories according to this show- Ing. VITAL POINT AT ISSUE. The California Miners’ Association is fully ready to test the Caminetti act in the Supreme Court and the lawyers are trying to expedite the matter. The chief issue that the Miners’ Assocla- tion is trying to have made clear by the Supreme Court is whether a permit to mine by the hydraulic process, is- sued by the Federal Government through its representative, the Cali- fornia Debris Commission, is a final permit or whether it can be vitiated and set aside by the State courts. The | permit to mine has been the point of | attack by the Anti-Debris Association. | The whole matter is likely to get into | the Supreme Court of the United States | eventually. President Benjamin of the California Miners' Association says that the body he represents is anxious to have a decision as soon as possible. Judge Wickersham has delivered an | opinion at Fairbanks that Is of much importance to the mining industry in | Alaska. The rights of the miner and locator are described in definite terms in part as follows: Discovery of mineral is necessary to the va- ldity of a placer mining claim. If staking and recording shall follow atter the date of discovery they relate back to the discovery, and, in case no intervening rights have at- tached, perfect the claim as of that date. But it is not so with the aiscovery. If acts of staking and recording are performed first, as In this case, and discovery last, the validity and life of the claim begin only with the dis- covery. - The greatest evil in the administra- tion of mining law in Alaska is the habit of the shiftiess In staking ana recording claims, generally by power of attorney, whersby one person out of ten acquires a claim to a large area of supposed mineral lands and excludes the willing miner from working it and de- veloping the resources of tne territory. Since the threat of lawsuit lurks behind each of these pretended locations, tne prospector gen- erally passes it by, and thus the speculative locator controls the property. Latest estilates make the cost of the new drainage tunnel for the Cripple Creek district to be $750,000. It will lower the water 741 feet below the present drainage level. Two years' time will be needed to complete the work. APPEAL THE CASE TO CIRCUIT COURT| Chinese Ordered Deported | (Claim the- Right. to Remain Here. CLEVELAND, July 28.—In their conten- | tion for the right to remain in this country | six Chinamen who vesterday were or- dered deported from this country by Judge Taylor, of the United States Dis- | trict Court, to-day appealed their cases to the Circuit Court with the view of ul- timately carrying them to the Suprme Court of the United States. They claim that under the treaty formed between | this country and China they have the free right to come and remain here and . do business, while Judge Taylor has de- cided tl Congress may pass laws in conflict with. and practically abdicating | this treaty. e INDUSTRIAL DIVIDENDS FOR AUGUST SHOW GAIN Exceed the Profits Disbursed at the Same Period Last Year by More Than $1,000,000. NEW YORK, July 28.—Industrial dividends for August thus far declared and those yet to come show a gain ap- proximating $1,100,000 over those of August 3 year ago, the total this year footing up $15,710,529, aceording to sta- tistics compiled by the Journal of Com- 'merce. There is a large falling off from July, which is natural, as that month and January are great disburs- ing periods for all corporations. In July, this year, the total payments were $28,900,000. > — e Spending Millions in Improvements.
