BIG LAND STEAL
BY A sYNDIoATE OF FoRElaNERs.
How Thousands of Acres of Government
Lands Were GObblod Up by the CODsplra.
tors-Ths Startling Results of the
Investigation By Newspaper.

NEW YoRE, Jan. 1.-THE Herald to-dsy
prints three.column letter from Eureka,
CAL, in regard to a gigantic timber land
steal.
The correspondent states that foreign
syndicate is operating in the Redwood dis.
trict, Of which Eureka ia the ceuter, and
that it has already gobbled up "a 900 acrea
OF the finest Redwood forests in the world.
The correspondent says:
"Of all the numerous robbeTie8 OF the
Government Of the United States which
have disgrRoed the Western and Pacific
slope States during the past two decades,
no one has possesaed the monumental
earmarka OF unbluBhing fraud to more
startling degree than tho one about to be
related. For rugged, picturesqueness OF
roguery the California Redwood Com
pany's robbery Ia unique"
He then goes on to tell how the Califor.
mia Redwood Company WAS organized in
Edinburgh in 1888 The directors we're
Sir George Warronder, Bart; E D. L.
Blythe, Esq, Edinburgh; Thomas Nelaon,
Etq, Edinburgh; Patrick Stirling, ESQ,
Of KippendRvie; VIM. John Me1zies,
Edinburgh, aud K. Bruce Johnston, Edin-
buTgh,
These gentlemen, who supplied or con-
trolled the capital, had the power to add
to their number six other directors, sc.
Cording to their discretion. James D.
Walker, an EnglishmRn, Of San FranciBco,
was chosen president, Charles Il. King,
OF San FrsncisCo, and David Evans, OF
Eureka, were crested general mRnagers.
A number OF notorious land sharks were
hired by the company and sent to Eureka,
and soon had the plans perfected for
great fraud.
The headquarters for the gang was in
back room OF a tough tin shop kept by
Gordon Barnum, local aport, whose es.
tsblishment was resort OF the rough
floating population OF q Pacific slope new
seaport. Three blocks away from Bar.
NUNS saloon was located the United
States Land Office. The area Of the land
sought by the conspirators was 60 vast
that small army Of men were required
to 90 through the forms Of entering and
proving as required by the lava OF the
United States in the disposal Of the pub
lie domain.
It was necessary to obtain 400 persors
who were willing to aid in tho fraud know.
ingly or uuconscloualy through ignorance
OF the meaning OF the statement each
would be called on to make. Tho cum
fixed by the Redwood Company Rs the
maximum price was $50. For that paltry
sum men were called on to 90 to the Land
Office and make statement that the land
they entered under the bsneticent snd
libsrally generous laws Of Uncle Sam was
for their individual use and occupancy.
As soon as the entry was made tho men
were escorted to the headquarters Of the
syndiCte, where the Land was transferred
10 the "csnny scotchmen."
Thus 1t was that the chapter OF crime
was completed and the raid on $4,000
acres Of growing timber land, among the
most valuable in the world, waa finally
consummated.

SECRET CONFERENCE
OF THE BUSINESS MENAND CoRBIN
oOussrnInE the Proposition to Arbitrato the
Great Reading striko-Tho MsrohAutI
Committee Satisfied bat Refuse to
Give tho Result of the Meeting.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1.-The conference
was satisfactory, but the public must guesl
OF the result.
The committee representing tho mer
chants OF Pottsville, Shenandoah anC
other towns in the schuylklll mining re
giop, appointed to consult with Mr.. Aus
tin Corbin, with the object Of bringing
about settlement OF the differences be-
tween the management Of the Philsdel-
phia & Reading Company and its en-
ployes, was received by Mr.. Oorbin Ut the
company'a office, on Fourth street, at II
o'clock this morning.
The conference lasted about thHee-quar-
ters OF an hour and upon It's conolusion
Mr.. Corbin, as well as the menbeTs Of the
committee, positively refused to give any
information as to what had transPired, or
what proposition or argument had been
presented by the visitors. 0ne OF the lat
Ter, however, admitted that arbitration
had been proposed but would make no
intimGtion as to the proposition, nor
whether or not it was entertained by Mr..
Corbin. The lstter, when seen after the
meeting, said he could not say anything
about the proceedings, ss II was the re-
quest OF the committee that nothing what.
ever should be made public regarding
their deliberations.
A member OF the committee said their
conference with MIR. Oorbin was entirely
satisfactory to them, and that they would
leave the city for their respective homes
this afternoon. ..-
Notwithstanding the fact that all Of the
members OF the General Executive Board
Of the Knights Of Labor were notified to
return to this city, only three could be
got together, aud this being less than q
quorum, no official action could be taken
in reference 10 the Reading strike. The
outcome OF the informal conference held
with committees OF the miners and rail-
readers last evening was O public state
ment, signed by Hayes, Barry and Ayles-
worth, the three membera Of the Board
present, approving the strikes Of both the
miners and the railroad hands. Had afuil
meeting Of the General Board been held
something might have been done TO bring
about an early settlement Of the trouble.
As It is 1t looks very much as though two
or three OF the members OF the General
Executive Board were afraid to take hold
Of the big strike.
While settlement Of the Reading
strike has not bsen accomplished, every
thing seems to indicate that plans for the
Of the trouble are now being
formulated. It is the general belief that
Mr.. Corbin will meet the representatives
Of the miners either tomorrow or Friday.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Jan. 1l.-only one
individual colliery in the entire shenan-

William Penn Goal company was forced
to shut down this morning. These miners
we're making as high as s5 day under
the new basis, while the outside men were
receiving from 81 80 to So per day. The
advancing scale Of coal prices was expect
ed to largely increase these rates. The
colliery employs ZOO hands.
An order was issued not TO give the
strikers any more credit at the compRny's
store. Similar action will be taken by
many business men here. There promises
to be a perfect coal famine here In the
heart OF the coal Geld. Discomfort and
dissatisfaction is beginning to show itself
on the faces Of the men. They are becom-
ing conscious that by embroiling them
selves in the railroad troubles, they are
losing grounds in their own fight, and
they are not pleased by the fact. Already
there are mutterin2s OF coming storm.
