Go,a an Milson,. PEAK.


The Pasadena Star has much to say
about the gold on Wilson's Peak. The
sale Of tickets by the L. A. and 8. G. "
r. r. to Santa Anita station. the station
near the foot of the trail. Is very active.
The Star says: "we have promised to
keep our readers posted as regards thS
news relative 10 the gold excitement at
Wilson's Peak and shall redeem that
pledge to the fullest extent possible
viii Bird. Will Korstian and F. s.
Hearn, typos connected with this office,
have just returned from their claims on
the Peak, and from them we secure the
following items Of INTEREST,". There are
now about fifty miners and prospectors
at the Peak, and the entire summit is al.
ready staksd. In addition 10 these,
the mountains are full OF men from
Switzer's trail to the head waters
of the San Gabriel and the rocky brow
of Old Baldy, all anxiously looking for
the gold that glitters. Some Of THESE
parties have claims that are evidently
rich in the precious metal; in short,
there is no question about there being
plenty Of gold there. so far as surface
indications are concerned, but the ex-
tent or quantity can only be demonstrat-
ed by digging and blasting. Messrs
Bird, Korstian and Hearn evidently have
the richest leads we have yet heard
from, and they have spent Z week in
vigorous prospecting and are exceeding
" we'll pleased with the results. We
have on our table samples of their
claims-the extension Of summit claim
No. and the Printers Bonanza-that
are heavily loaded with the precious
metal, and from which assays show
$3.50 copper ton Of puregold, and there are
some specimens that will run more than
double that richness. OF course this
sounds like fabulous story, but the
facts are before us and cannot be dis
puted. These gentlemen, as we have
stated. have developed their claims as
far as weeks digging and blasting
could do. removing more than twenty
tons of rock, and the further they went
the better were they pleased, for the
richness Of the ore constantly increased
This is the exact status Of the situation,
without any attempt at exaggeration or
to create any undue excitement. What
the bosom Of the mor ntain contains no
mortal can know without further inves-
tigation. The spur, or feeder. that ia
being worked measures from two to
seven feet. and the old miners who have
personally investigated the matter are
unanimous in declaring that present in.
dications are very good indeed.
The Wilson trail. the present route by
VIII ch the Peak is reached, is hard
one, and by it some seventeen miles
must be travelled from Pasadena, but
ne ' trail is being made that will short
en- the distance about one-half 1t will
lead up the Eaton cshon. and teams
may be driven as far as the falls, from
which point the summit may be reached
by burro travel in less than two hours,
and it will be the best mountain trail in
the whole country. The work is being
pushed with all possible dispatch and
will be completed in loss than ten days.

A peter suicide.

P. Henry Trip :, uf Stockton, Califor.
MIA, co mmitted suio.de by shooting him
self in his room at the Bay View Hotel,
sometime Saturday afternoon. The de.
ceased was seen to go to his room early in
the afternoon, a lady at the hotel thinks
it about three O'Clock. w. A. Blaine, a
friend Of his, called at C. j. Edward i
harness shop ON Saturday afternoon and
asked the reason for his non.appearanee
W. l.. Weise volunteered to go to the
hotel and make inquiry. On reach
ing it, and going to his room the door
was found locked, the key on the inside
and all quiet within. Accompanied by
Captain Dillingham;. Mr.. Weise went
out upon the roof, and looking through
window into the chamber the appar-
entity lifeless body of Tripp was seen
lping across the bed. Thereupon the
door wa. forced open, and on entering
the room it was found to be evidently a
case Of suicide. A 3s-calibre revolver
was grasped in the right hand, and a
big hole in the right side of
the head, little above the car,
showed where the fatal bullet had en-
tofous fobthH tho Wtuuo uitoi Woiu
showed the ball to have lodged in the
left side Of the skull. The coroner was
at onco notified and the body removed
to the morgue. An inquest was held
yesterday before Justice Monroe; ex-
oflicio Coroner, and the jury rendered a
verdict that Patrick Henry Tripp, ma
tive Of America, SO years of age and
harness maker by trade, died on the 28tn
day Of August from gunshot wound
inflicted by his own hand while laboring
under temporary fil of insanity.
Six weeks ago in fit OF delirium tre-
mens Tripp attempted suicide by jump.
ing into the bay from the steamship
wharf. The water had a beneficial
effect, and after short swim he regained
terra frma much improved. On the
evening Of the same day, during a
drunken fracas in downtown saloon,
he was struck on the head by another
party, or came into contact with the
sharp edge Of the table or counter, and
since then has complained Of hearing
queer, buzzing sounds.
That he was temporarily deranged
there can be no question. A true friend
who stood by him IN all adverse circum-
stances was little blaek.and. tan dog.
He jumped into the bay with his mas
ter, was ever ready to fight for him, and
was the only living witness to his death.
