New Mines in the Coast Range.


Reports published Of the discovery Of placer
diggings and gold quartz in the coast range near
San Diego and San Bernardino, California. The
prospects said to be very favorable for wages
for limited number. There have been frequent
discoveries Of gold and silver in the coast range
Says the Bulletin from the neighborhsod Of san
Francisco, midway of the State, to points on the
lower coast three hundred miles south. As early
1912 lot Of twenty ounces of gold was forwarded
to the Philadelphia Mint from the placers of san
Francsquto, about thirty-fve miles northwest from
Los Angeles These dggings were worked until
is46 yielding 10000 or $1,000 year to the labor of
few MeXicans. In 1876, before the discovery OF
gold and silver were reported. some of which
located near Oakland and San jose Frequently
during the twenty years since then small quantities
of gold have been found in the coast range but the
deposits, chiefly on the southern coast, have been
limited, and were worked 10y few men for only
short time The geology of the range Is not favor
able to the existence of extensive gold deposits.
Forest Fires.
The great forests are periodically burned over
The sections which escape one year, according to
the San Francisco Bulletin, are pretty sure to be
swept with fire the next Most OF these 1res are
wholly unnecessary. Some of them result from
Carelessness ana more from design. The damages
are immense. All the underground is destroyed;

is decayeE spot or pitch knot, and these

by hunters to drive out the deer into the open
country and valleys below. A fire has been raging
ia Santa Cruz county for some days. which is re-
ported to have had its origin in this way. Camp
fires are left burning, and the fire once getting into
is met wide enough to arrest its progress A fire
started by the discharge of shotgun has been
known to extend forty miles, most OF the way
through heavy timber, consuming, of course, all
fences, and even houses aud saw-mls, in its march
Business of san Francisco.
The business of the city of San Francisco has
maintained healthy condition, and has even made
substantial gains this year. The imports have been
the heaviest on record The marine arrivals aygre-
gated larger tonnage, and the California bound
fleet now on the way Is larger than for pre-
viUus years. except the last, and show net gain of
twenty-five thousand in population. The combined
exports of merchandise and treasure show in
crease. The treasury receipts have been larger than
for the same period last year, and merchants are
forwarding the largest wheat crop raised in the
State, and to export the surplus there have been
heavier engagements of tonnage the last quarter
than were ever known i'm the same period Mining
stocks have shrunk In value by nearly S0 but
this is a gain to commerce and manufactures.

LOPEZ.

Details of His Defeat by the Allied Forces.
The Panama Herald and Star, of october IA, prints
the following news from Paraguay
The last dates from AsunscOn are to the 18th Of
August. Two more sharp fights had anew wetted
the soil of the republic with the blood OF its heroic
defenders. According to onicia statement, H. r.
III. the Count dEu, at the head OF the 1st and 2d
divisions of the Brazilian army and 1900 Argentine
troops, obtained a decided victory over the Para
guayans on the morning of the 18th OF August. The
town OF Peribebui, the last point ddppui OF Marshal
Lopez, and which had been Well fortified, was taken
by assault The attack was most intrepid and vigor-
Ously sustained by both BraZiliaus and Argentines
The enemy lost above one thousand men among
killed and wounded The COmmander-in-C'hef OF
the town, General Cabaero, was killed by a cannon
ball when in the very act OF encouraging his men
on the side OF the allies the loss is stated 20 have
Oeen slight; however, the brave General Juan
Manuel Mena Barreto, commanding the left wing
received fatal shot ia the head, causing nstantane-
ous death, at an early stage OF the battle.
Lopez and his faithful friend in misfortune Ma
dame Lynch, were evidently obliged TO retire from
Peribebui in great haste and confusion leaving be-
hind them the archives and some valuable personal
property. Count dEu followed the enemy to
Caacupe, thus completely cutting OF retreat both
north and southwark, and causing the abandonment
OF Cerro Leon by hostile forces consequently leaving
open communication established by the allies with
Pirayu. To this latter place members OF Para
guayan families in the utmost state of destitutiOn
nocked for shelter and protection from the
excessive cruelty Of Lopez and his followers.

General Mitre, commanding the Argentines, and
General Anto at the head of 5000 Brazans, arrived

man named James Lilies, a native OF ireland,
who is depositor in the bank, entered the institu-
ton, and i'll an excited manner demanded of the
paying teller the money deposited to his account at
the same time saying that he had lost his bank book.
The teller, Mr. Charles w. Held, informed him that
first advertise the loss of his book before the money
could be paid to him. At this Lilies became greatly
eXasperated, and drew from his coat-pOcket six
baIrelled revolver two of the chambers of which he
discharged in succession at Mr.. Held.
Fortunately, neither shot took effect, although
they graZed his left coat-seeve. Immediately there
was much excitement in the bank. The clerks
leaped over the counters and attempted to grapple
with the desperate man, fearing that he would dis
charge the four rem aiming barrels of his weapon.
While the struggle was going on, Ohicer King, of
of Canal street and the Bowery having heard the
reports Of the pistol entered the bank and disarned
Lilies.
The latter was handcutfed and taken from the
bank to the sidewalk, where large and excited
crowd had collected. Lilies then placed in
carriage and driven to the Tombs, where he was
alragned before Justice DoHling At the Tombs
the prisoner conducted himself in an excited man
ner, and said that he has been depositor in the
bank for the past thirtyhve years, Notwithstanding
the fact he is but hrtyfour years Of age From this
part well as his violent conduct at the bank it is
inferred that Lilies is insane. After an examination
he was fully committed for trial on charge of felo-
nOuS assault,
