MONEY IN IT YET.

Astonishing Result of Working Low
Grade Gravel in Placer County.
That the gold mines of California are not
yet worked out by any means is evidenced
by the result of the last run of the Hidden
Treasure, drift mine above Iowa Hill, in
Placer county. The run also illustrates
the money that can be- made by the work
ing Of low grade ore or gravel by persons
who understand their business. Fifty-tyo
thousand five hundred and fifty. one car
loads of gravel were taken out. averaging
5000 pounds each, yielding Ss1, 249 As in
gold. from which a dividend was declared
of $50 $40 As the gross yield per carload
was only 81 81, this shows admirable man
agement on the part of Harold Power, t5e
Superintendent, especially when il is known
that the mine has 5000 feet of very bad
tunnel to keep up and is one of the hardest
mines to work in the district Competent
mining experts in Placer county say that
there are over two hundred miles of Just
as good mining ground still unworked in
that county,

in P. Helly's house few days ago, where
he attempted to steal watch, is now in the

But the Prison Directors viii Get Their
Money just the Same.
Yesterday afternoon the State Prison Di-
rectors-eyery one present-held confer
ence in the Governors Office regarding
prison matters and the settlement of the
controversy which has arisen over a faulty
appropriation Act, passed by the last Legis-
lature.
At the last session an Act was passed
appropriating SIS 600, 70 be expended on
the San Quentin Prison, in the following
way: Repairing building and making inn
provements, etc, $40 600; roofs for cell
buildings, $4,000; building over lower gate
for guards headquarters 81, COO; cement
for general repairs, $1,000. Footing up
these amounts makes a total of $4,000,
while the Act says that SIS, 600 shall be ap-
propriated. The Directors were afraid that
this error might render the whole amount
unavailable, and hence the conference on
the matter. General McComb was present
at the meeting, as was also Controller
Dunn. Ii was agreed with the Controller
that the 81 600 for cement would be thrown
out Of the matter, and it is now conceded
that the money can be drawn according TO
law

Camp Life at the Summit.

One of the party of campers that departed
from this city little over week ago for
Soda Springs has returned and reports "all
WELL" A sad mishap, however, befell the
boys day or so ago. One of them washed
a pair of socks in the trout stream, and
from that day to this no fish have been
caught. The worst of the whole matter
was that the party who washed the foot
apparel found, after they were clean, that
they belonged to some of his companions,
and he has been kicking himself ever since.
Another misfortune also overlook two of
the party. They started off in high glee

about dusk two figures appeared on the
hilltop above camp, and actually had to
drag themselves to headquarters. The
whole story is told in nutshell. They
lost the trail and had been tramping stead
lily for fully twelve hours. From the de-
scription they gave OF the country through
which they traversed, couple of scouts
were lead to believe that the two unfortu-
mates had got nearer Carson than they i'm
agined. They returned with no consola-

Don't Kill the Lady-Bugs by Spraying the
Orange Trees.
n. W. Motherall, State Entomologist
called at the RECORD. UNION Office yester-
day and stated that he wished to make a
valuable suggestion to the public.
II notice" said he, "that residents
throughout different parts of your city are
spraying their orange trees in the endeavor
to get rid of that dreaded pest, the cottony
cushion scale. This is the very worst thing
they can do at this time. 1t is we'll
known fact that about a month ago the
Australian lady-bug was introduced into
this city, and from close observation can
see that they alone are playing sad havoc
with The cottony cushion scale. / have ex-
amined orange trees in the yards of several
of your prominent residents, and an ex-
perienced person can very soon see that
the lady, bug has, in many cases, killed the
pests on the trees, and they are still keep
ing up their beneficial work.
Again, | have noticed that many are
yet washing their trees, and are thus driv-
ing away and killing the lady bugs that are
working on the insects with much better
effect than the wash does. With the naked
eye one can hardly see the pest destroyer,
and people generally are not aware of their
presence. From observations, | can see
that the Iady.bug is at work on almost
every tree infected with the scale, and it is
to be hoped that the spraying and washing
process'will cease and the Australian lady
bug be given chance to do her work"

Attorney-General Johnson has rendered
the following opinion to Frank Dalton,
President of the Board of Education, of
San Francisco, in answer to inquiries from
that official:
Replying to yours of the 9th inst,
have to say that, in my opinion, it is legal
for the Board OF Education to rent the
Coggswell building and establish High
School therein, said High School having
an industrial course of study in addition to
the other regular High School work. For
authority to rent see Subdivision of Sec.
ton 1917, Of the Political Code For au-
thority TO authorize extra studies, see Sec
ton 1866 Of the Political Code
In answer to your second question, Can
the Board OF Education grant special GER
tificates authorizing persons to teach me-
chanics, sewing. e.c? / have to say that
this can be done. (See Sub. 8, Sec. 1891,
Poi Code.) The State school fund cannot
be used, however, except for the support of
primary and grammar schools"

NOT GUILTY.
A Jury of Six Citizens Aeq,tit the Chinese
Lottery Agents.


Lottery Agents.
4 few days ago G. L. Rose, a detective in
the employ of the Law and Order League,
went into a Chinese shoe store on Sixth
street which he had reason to believe was
lottery agency, and told one of the two
men in charge that he wanted to purchase
lottery ticket. The Chinaman told him to
take one from pile of tickets on table,
which the officer did, and inquired the
price thereof. He was told it was ten cents.
He laid down his dime, and the ticket
yender wrote some hieroglyphics on the
bit of paper and handed il to the officer.
The persons running the place were then
arrested.
The trial took place yesterday before
Justice Henry and jury of six men.
Deputy District Attorney J. a. Bruner con-
Quoted the prosecution, and Charles T.
Jones defended the prisoners. The prose-
cution introduced the testimony of the
officer who purchased the ticket, and also
of another detective, Edward Conick, who
was with Rose at the time of the purchase.
A young man named Fields testified to hay
ing purchased ticket at the same place,
and Chinaman was placed on the stand
who identified the bits of paper as Chinese
lottery thickets, reading therefrom the
name of the firm that conducted the lot
terry. and the date of the drawing.
The arresting officer was w. w. Cone, of
the United States Detective Association,
and while be was on the stand Mr.. Jones
asked him if he had ever been convicted of
any crime. Cone replied that he had,
through Misrepresentation. Replying to
another question, witness said he was
deputy under q Gait constable.
Jones retorted that the witness had no
right TO make an arrest in this township,
and defied Gone to arrest any white man
under similar circumstances.
Mr.. Bruner briefly but clearly reviewed
the testimony and the law on the subject,
and argued that clear case of guilt had
been established, and concluded by ad.
monishipg the jury that they had but one
duty to perform under the law, and that
was to return verdict in accordance with
the facts shown. 80
Mr.. Jones held that it had not, been
proven that the ticket purchased by Rose
was lottery ticket, and scored the detect
ives severely, charging that they were in
the habit of employing boys to visit saloons
in order to convict the keepers thereof of
selling liquor to minors.
The audience withdrew and left the
jurors to their intelligent deliberations. In
few minutes they arrived at verdict that
surprised all who heard the evidence
namely, that the defendants were innocent.

Something further has come to light
concerning the career of Terry Pagan, the
fellow who wa, run out of Sacramento
some weeks ago for attempting to shoot a
citizen here, and who on last Sunday ar
rived again from Truekee. where he
was tarred and feathered and banished
In San Francisco he has been frequently
arrested for vagrancy, petty larceny, etc,
and has twice been across the bay TO San

Gordon, the Convicted Train-Robber,
Makes a Clean Breast of 1t.
A REooRD-UNIoN reporter met ]. NJ.
Thacker, special officer for Well, Fargo &
Co., last night as he was passing through
the city. IL conversation with him it was
learned that H. L. Gordon-the map who
was recently convicted at Auburn,
Placer county, of completely in the
Clipper Gap train robbery on the 9th of
last December, and sentenced to ten years
at San Quentin-had since made full con-
fession of his crime to Mr.. Thacker. Cor
don says that the job was done by himself
and his brother George. Their purpose
had been to rob the express-car on the
train of the preceding evening, but they
found that the windows of the car were
protected by iron bars, and they abandoned
the idea.
The next night everything was to their
liking, and they did the job very neatly.
They had some iron ladder-rungs made at
a blacksmith shop in this city, which they
took with them to Auburn, and constructed
their rope ladders in hotel at Auburn.
They had some sherp-pointed steel hooks
made to keep the ladders from slipping,
and also took from here a sledge and cold
chisel which they had made at Melville's
shop on street, between Fourth and Fifth.
1t will be remembered that many persons
secuted the idea of the robbers having
descended from the roof of the car to the
windows of the side, doors, but Gordon says
they did by the aid of the ladders.
They divided the plumber at point about
a mile and half from Auburn (some
$4,000 and separated. Gordon says he was
sitting beside the track, this side of New
castle, that night when the special train went
up with officers True, Burke and Hickey,
whom lie recognized through the lighted
windows. The next night he came to
Sacramento on a freight train, arriving at
ten O'Clock, and put up at lodging house
at Fourth and K streets. He staid three days
and then went to Los Angeles, and after
ward to Kansas City, Mo, where he was
arrested, His brothers Whereabouts are
not known.
Gordon says his chief purpose in making
the confession is that he desires to remove
the last vestige of suspicion-if any remains
= against the honesty and faithfulness
of express messengers David Johnston and
Emery Carpenter, whom some over. hasty
persons had accused of completely in the
crime. He says that himself and brother
robbed the Mend ocino stage just before the
train robbery, and that ten years of crime
has been enough for him.

Thrown Prom an Express Wagon and
Seriously Injured.
About 10 O'Clock last night Frank Car
penter, the driver of one of the Transfer
Company's express wagons, met with a
serious accident at the corner of Eighteenth

ing through Eighteenth street with load
OF trunks. and ran into the cut made in
laying the new street railway track up ]
street. The wagon upset and Carpenter
was thrown to the ground, the trunks falling
upon him and iDjuring him very severely.

dence of Sheriff McMullen, near by, and
subsequently removed 10 his home.
1t is said that there were no lights out to
