He was very abusive and wit- nesses say tried to quarrel with one or two of the men. He finally attacked Emanuel Franeisco, who fought back [ self-defense. Francisco had & small shoe | knife which he brought to his aid and lnablved Marrowney twice in the right side. There were a number of eye-wit- | nesses to the affray, and they all, with- | out exception, agree that Francisco acted | | | |in self-defense and that Marrowney was entirely to blame. Both men served in the navy during the Civil War. Francisco has been a member home for a numbér of vears and s borne a good reputation, while of Marrowney little is known, ex- cept that he is a drinking man and hard to get along with. Dr. ¥. A, McMahon, surgeon In charge of the hospital, states | that he does not think Marrowney can live, JAPANESE STOWAWAYS DROWN IN THE NORTH Brown Men’s Attempt to Swim Ashore Ends Fatally. Speclal Dl!pfl_fia The Call. TACOMA, Jan. 2L.—At Port Angeles yes- | terday Captain B, E. Robbins, master of | the British ship Glenelvan, was obliged to | stana trial befere United States Court | Commissioner James Stewart on a charge of not exercising due diligence to prevent escape from his ship Sunday evening last of two Japanese stowaways, one of Whom |is now known to be drowned, and the other is believed t6 have met the same fate in their attempt to reach shore by swimming from the ship’s side. A warrant for Captain Robbins’ arrest | was sworn out by Immigration Inspector | Nicholson. ~ Witnesses for the defense | from among the crew of the Glenelvan | were examined, and upon the hearing of | testimony the case was dismissed. Cap- | tain Robbins was much incensed by what be termed the officlousness of immigra- tion officials, and declares that when the Japanese, to escape, were obliged to risk their lives in swimming half a mile to shore in midwinter, he was certainly ex- ercising due diligence.

Plants Now Running That Closed When Streams Ran Dry. Stampede to ~Manhattan District Still - Engages Interest of Nevadans. The heavy rains, extending through- out the mining regions of Calffornia, have insured the success of the coming season in the gold mines. There is no question that water enough will be available for mining operations for a long time to come. In Shasta, Nevada,- Sierra, Trinity and Siskiyou counties the downfall was exceptionally heavy. Plants that have been shut down and that are below the snow line are again in_operation. < Nevada City inches of rain in a day. Transcript reports that “for four days the storm led all other rains of the same duration in the amount of water precipitated in Nevada City, 12.20, or an average of 3.05 inches a day.” The full returns concerning the effect of the rains in the mining sections will not be received for some days, but there is little doubt that there is all the water that is needed for the present at least. In some instances there was too much water. The Miner Transeript reports that the Federal Loan and Le- compton mines were flooded out. With the cessation of the rain it will not take the mines long to pump out their workings. The Mother Lode Banner reports that the water situation in Tuolumne Coun- ty was never so promising before. “It is almost a certainty that the Tuolum= ne Water Company will soon be in con- dition to supply water for all purposes —mining, milling, ranches, orchards, vineyards, etc.—putting the county on an equality with other sections of the Golden State. The Golden Rock Diteh, flowing from the middle to the north fork of the Tuolumne, is belng re- opened by the Blg Creek Gold Mining Company, which has large mining and other interests south of the river.” Rough weather and the consequent lack of fuel oil supply at Copperopolis caused the Copperopolis smelter to be closed down. The Angels Camp Record says: “The cold interfered with the business of hauling traction . engine trains between Milton and Copperopolis, and the smelter at Copperopolis has been closed for three weeks because of the Inabllity of the transportation company to deliver fuel oil in sufficlent quantities to operate the plant. “The smelter was started up about a month ago and ran ten days, when the ofl subply gave out, and the traction en- gine could not make the trip of fifteen miles from the railroad station at Milton to the copper town. Everything was pre- pared for the long run, but the weather spoiled the business for a time, and it is feared the oil supply cannot be kept up until after the rainy season has ended. : “S. W. Newell of Stockton organized a corporation to operate traction engines and ofl tank wagon on route, and the cor- poration bullt a new road up the canyon from Milton to Salt Spring Valley, and extensive repairs were made on the road from that point to Copperopolis. Every- thing moved along satistactorily until the trosty weather came on, and what little moisture there was in the ground was brought to the surface and it became too slippery for the big engine.” HAPPENINGS IN NEVADA. The Tonopah Miner reports that the new Manhattan district “still holds the center of the stage.” Some account of re- cent interest is given as follows: | “The stampede from Tonopah and Gold- field to the scene of discoveries is un- abated. On a conservative estimate, 00 men left Tonopah this week for the new gold camp. The population of Manhattan probably exceeds 3000. The stage and au- tomobile companies and the livery stables are unable to meet the demand for trans- portation ang all sorts and conditions of vehicles have been pressed into service. About forty frame bufldings are being erected and many more will be bullt as soon as lumber can be secured. Liv- ing accommodations command Klondike prices and it is impossible for newcomers to find a place to sleep. “The Southern Nevada Consolidated Telegraph and Telephone Company is dis- tributing poles and wire along the route of their Tonopah and Manhattan line and promises to make telephone connection between the two camps within ten days. For the present the company will use the wire of the Tonopah Water Company from Tonopah to Rye Patch. “Surveyor J. G. Booker, who -was em- ployed by the .Tonopah and Manhattan Wagon Road Committee to select the best route between the two camps, reported this week in favor of the Rye Patch road, and his report was accepted by the com- mittee. A number of cut-offs will be ‘made on the old road, and the new route will shorten the distance to about forty iles.” mThe Goldfield News submits the re- port of the Postmaster at Goldfield to show Goldfield’s growth: “For the six months closing January 1 the stamp sales amounted to $14;335 80, making a total of more ‘than $28,000 annually of revenue from this source alone. The registry and money order business and proceeds of the box rents will bring the total amount of the year's business up to $40,000, or the amount necessary to make this a first- class postoffice. Then, too, a certain class of postoffice business has been go- ing out of town, but which is now go- ing through Its proper channels in the Goldfield office, as a complaint from Postmaster Collins found prompt rem- edy at the hands of the Postoffice De- partment in Washington. The record of registry business for six months dis- closes the fact that 8002 registers were received and delivered by the Goldfield office and $406 were dispatched to dis- tant pointa. . & “After paying all the expenses of the Goldfield office Postmaster Collins for the six months remitted a balance or practically a profit in postal funds of $5131 19 to the department. “If the business keeps up for the next six months as it has during the first part of the fiscal year, Goldfield, a town of 10,000 people, a lusty municipal In- fant of two summers, will be eligible to be rated, from the viewpoint of busi- ness, with the offices of cities of ma- ture years and many times its size.” MINERS OF ARIZONA. Arizona's new association of miners has adopted practically the plan on which the Callfornia Miners’ Associa- tion is based. C. M. Shannon of Clifton is the president. The members of the executive committee are A. E. Haggott, Yavapai; Lamar Cobb, Graham; A. H. received about three | the Globe-Boston Miping Company. The price is reported to have been §135, 000, exclusive of a mortgage of $30, 000 held by the former owner of the claims. The purchasers are the own- ers of the Calumet and Arizona prop- erties. The Troy Manhattan Mining Company has bonded forty claims for $170,000 that belong to J. B. Newman. The property is near the Troy camp. A Boston company has bought the Baker group of six claims in the Black Hills distriet. A correspondent writes: “Forty mil- The Miner | lion dollars’ worth of copper was pro- duced in 1905 by the mines and smelters In Arizona, the top notch of the Terri- tory’s output. During the year, accord- ing to fifures from inside sources, the bullion product closely approximated 241,000,000 pounds.. The production in- crease has come largely through the operation of the new Copper Queen smelter at Doaglas, though the Old Do- minion and Uaited Verde furnaces each did 10,000,000 pounds better than in 1904, and the Calumet and Arizona at Doug- las advanced 4,000,000 pounds.” CALIFORNIA LEDGES. The Siskiyou News reports that pros- pecting has been active in the Salmon Mountains. Several good ledges of ore have been discovered in the mountains about six miles from Etna. " The South Fork mine in Shasta Coun- ty will be worked again. The property has been bought by a Massachusetts company. S The Soulsby mine has been bought by the Bagdad-Chase gold mining com- pany and work on the property has been started by the new owners. The Lincoln News-Messenger pub- lishes the following about a Placer County mining section: “From the present outlook the mineral district northeast of Lincoln will, in'the near future, be under a full course of de- velopment. The ranch known as .he old Sedraquist place has been Tonded for mineral purposes by L. C. Trent, formerly the principal owner of the Dalry Farm, and W. B. Hellings, who operated the Whisky Diggings property prior to the present owners. A. Fleming Jr. et al. have a bond also for the same purpose on a portion of Chris Tofft's place in the same reglon. That the entire strip of land through which the main Spenceville lode tra- verses will be under bond or purchased outright for mineral purposes seems practically assured.” Robert N. Bell, State inspector of mines for Idaho, gives the following es- timate of the gross metal contents of concentrates and crude ore shipments from Idaho mines during 1905: Gold, 61,694 ounces, value $1,275,214 98; sil- ver, 9,009,230 ounces, value $5,482,- 665 69; lead, 262,631,632 pounds, value $12,868,449 96; copper, 6,670,000 pounds, value $1,040,520; zine, 2,150,000 pounds, value $124,700; total, $20,741,950 63. The above is based on the following prices: Gold, $20 67 per ounce; silver, 60 cents per ounce; lead, $4 94 per 100 pounds; zinc, $5 85 per 100 pounds. Dividends paid during the year will exceed $6,- 500,000. SEARCH FOR MISSING MAN IS FRUITLESS Fail to Find Trace of Nevada Lumberman on Snow- Covered Trails. Special Dispatch to The Call. RENO, Jan. 21.—The searching parties that have been in the mountains for three days searching for Willlam Stone, a lum- berman who has been missing since last Saturday, have returned without making a discovery. For three days they care- fully went over the trail on snowshoes, examining every dangerous spot where Stone might have fallen. They were greatly handicapped in their work by the heavy snow which fell after Stone dis- appeared, and it is probabie that his re- mains will not be found until after there is a thaw. There is no question in the minds of the people regarding the man's fate. Every one believes that he has per- ished. TOWN OF SUTRO MAY AGAIN SHOW LIFE Scheme on Foot to Harness Waters of the Big - Tunnel. Special DIIDL'&_I; to The Call RENO, Jan. 21.—A project is on foot among the owners of the Comstock mines to utilize the waters of the Sutro tunnel to furnish power for the mines on the Comstock and for neighboring towns. The water has a long fall and the volume when the new pumps are working will generate great horsepower. It is planned to erect the power plant at the town of Sutro. This town once boasted a popula- tion of 3000. was during the palmy days of the Comstock. It is now nearly devoid of population. When the new project is completed it is expected that the old town will again assume signs of life and become for the second time one of the large mining camps of the State. ————————— INSTITUTES OF SIX TOWNS ARE TO MEET IN BENICIA ’ 5 Members of Catholic Order Planuning § an Meeting for VALLEJO, Jan. 21.—The members of the Young Men's Institute of the bay towns of this section are planning a big district meeting at Benicia on Feb- ruary 18, when the couneils from Val- lejo, Napa, Martinez, Crockett and Port Costa will gather. The grand officers are to be in attendance. Many mat- ters of interest to the institute will be considered and a number of enjoyable ‘soctal functions given. “ —_———— BANQUET TO FOLLOW SEATING NEW OF TWO LODGES IPTANS ERFOR CAISES WAECK Disaster to the King David Due to Skipper’s Mistaken Identification of Light VESSEL DRAGS ANCHOR Mate and Seamen Who Were Lost Volunteered to Go in Small Boat to Seek Help VICTORIA, B. C., Jan. 21.—The steam- ship Queen City arrived this morning with Captain Davidson and sixteen other sur- vivors of the wrecked steel ship King Da- vid, which dragged her anchor and drifted broadside on Bajo reef on December 13. The survivors left her a total wreck atter spending five weeks in an abandoned fish- ing camp, with big driftwood fires burn- ing nightly to signal any vessel that came near. Although the shipwrecked men were on an uninhabited beach for so long, they did not suffer severely and had provisions for a month longer when picked up. Captain Davidson sald he encountered thick weather, and having no observa- tions ran too far morth, and when he sighted the recently established Clayoquot light he mistook it for Cape Beale. December 10 at 9 p. m. the lookout report- ed breakers on the lee bow, the ship clearing them.' More breakers were seen, and he anchored in elght fathoms. Three days later the weather cleared and obser- vations showed the proximity of danger- ous reefs. A northeast wind blew fresh and he tried to work seaward, but the windlass broke and the anchor dragged until the vessel drifted on the rocks and held by the starboard quarter. Two knuckles of rocks penetrated her side and she rolled over with a heavy list to star- board. The crew lowered the boats and made for the huts seen on shore, a mile away. Several trips were made for provi- sions and their effects. Captain Davidson and Mate Wallstein remained for three days, but the rolling and the swell which beat the weather side breaking over the decks ground the bottom out of the ship, and she was aban- doned as a total wreck. The old sailmaker, Donald McLeod, be- came insane and tried to jump into the fire on the beach. He was restrained and placed under guard. Two seamen tried to make their way along the beach. They returned almost famished three days later and reported having met a half-breed, who sald no rellef would come -until March, as the coast was not Inhabited. As there is a large Indian village and store at Nootka, eight miles from the marine! camp, of which any one met with could have told them, their story ‘was not believed. Captain Davidson’s chart and directions ‘were out of date, and although there was succor enough ten miles away and many intervening settlements with telegraph connection, they stated Cape Beale, 100 miles away, was the nearest place assist- ance could be had. The captain called for volunteers. Nine seamen responded. Six were chosen, and on December 21 they left for Cape Beale in Chief Officer Wall- stein’s boat. It was never heard of after rounding Hesquott Point. A heavy gale blew on ber 23 and continued for five days. The boat was doubtless swamped and -all drowned. Those lost were: A. W. WALLSTEIN, 24 years old, of Ox- ford, N. Z. Jg)HN ROGERS, aged 50, Liverpool, Eng- lan H. G. RAY aged 20, Monmouth, England. EVAN JONBS, aged 45, Carnavon, England. MARTIN PEDERSEN, aged 27, Norway. R # , Denmark. 1 P. SORRENSEN, aged 20, Denmark. Following Is a list of the survivors: Captain Davidson; W. E. Edwards, second | mate; Duncan MacFariand, steward; A. E. Ericson, carpenter; John Yoneon, cabin bay: Alexander Matherson, Alexander Forson, W. Olson and John Robinson. apprentices: George Pine, George Hay, J. O'Flaherty, Paul Hand- letts, A. Gustaveson, P. Johnson and George Hamilton, seamen, and J, Dennis, ordinary sea- man. % After the mate's boat left a steamship’s smoke was seen, but she was too far away to be signaled. The survivors re- mained, camped in the Indian fishing huts, on the shore until January 14, when | the steamship Queen City was sighted entering Nootka. Captain Townsend had seen tha wreck and the smoke of the survivors’ camp and rescued them. The shipwrecked party launched their two boats and put off to the Queen. Captain Townsend arranged to call for them on his return, but bad weather ensuing he returned for them next day. ‘When the Queen City was at Quatsino the sallmaker died and was buried on shore. The others are in good health.
