discharged with signal ability and

will agree that the above is not un-

his mental qualifications and personal

the Governors appointment would

Gov. Murray is connected with a
wealthy stock company having for
its object the development of Bsja OF
Lower California, Mexico, around the
coast towns of Ensenada and San

Gov. Murray is a typical Kentuckian,
tall, handsome and soldierly in bear

to see him get good soft berth un-

The New Gold Fields,

The alleged gold fields, just over
the Mexican line, are coming in for a
good deal of systematic Advertising
too systematic, We think, for the gen.
uineness of the discovery. 1t is not
the usual way for gold hunters, when
they find a good thing to invite the
whole world to come and share their
prosperity. We are very much mis-
taken ii this rush is not being pro-
NOTED for a sinister purpose. There
may be gold down there in paying
quantities, but the people who are be-
ing enticed there by rosy descriptions
Of the abundant riches will get little or
one Of it. More likely they will be
worked out instead by the enterprising
spectators who are initiating the
boom. Men who are not reliably in
formed through the agencies they can
trust, had better keep away from the
new diggings. They are located in a
remote and desolate country, and the
prospect Of great suffering on the part
OF those deluded into going there is par
ticularly bright. Ninety-nine out OF
every hundred mining excitements are
based on worthless " finds" and nine
ty-nine out of every hundred men
who rush to the one good camp find il
a land OF promises unfulflled.-S. F.

The Results Of y visit.

Two gentlemen of Eureka are the
owners OF a number of game chickens.
They are not in partnership, but
each owns his particular cocks and
hens individually. Among the lot are
two gamey birds Of the masculine per-
suasion, owned respectively by the
two citizens. As a general thing,
when the two chicken fanciers meet
they discuss the relative " staying -
qualities Of their own birds. One OF
the gentlemen imagined, up to a few
days ago, that he had the boss in the
county. To make himself doubly
sure in the matter, however, he
thought a little set-to, with himself as
sole spectator, between the two
chickens would do no harm. So he
quietly brought his rooster to the dug
hill OF his antagonist and turned him
loose. 1t is said that after a contest OF
fifteen minutes between the two chick
ems the visiting rooster was badly van
quished-so much so that the chances
are it will be some time before his
owner will take him out on another
| such mission.

Exposure OF william Whalen's
Copper Mine SwindIe I'm 81. L.ouis.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, March 9.-Some OF
the inside history Of the st. Peters
Consolidated Gold and Silver Mining
and Milling Company Of Eureka
county, New, has come to light. Most
Of the stock of the companies was
placed here by one William Whalen 4,
who appeared here about two years
ago and was introduced among Cath
olics by Father Hennessey, now
Bishop OF Wichita. He had two min
ing proprieties. and Alexander Mast
brook placed them. The mines were
incorporated here and capitalized at
s. 200, 900 each. The stock of the
Copper Company was first placed,
purchasers for 1000 shares being
found among members OF the Catholic
Church at $25 per share. Dividends
were promised which would amount
in two years to what the stockholders
paid in. Only 1000 shares were sold,
Mr.. Whalen preferring to keep the
rest himself.
Eight small dividends on the copper
stock were actually paid, and then the
stockholders were induced to exchange
their stock for shares in the st.
Peters mine, with Whalen as Presi-
dent. Mr.. Mastprook also placed
$4,000 Of stock in this property, and
then had some trouble with Whalen
which resulted in the publication OF
the fact that all the dividends paid
by Whalen had been paid out OF the
receipts from sales Of stock and that
very little ore had been taken out Of
the mine.
Whalen, in an interview to-day
admitted all this, but still declared
that the property was a bonanza and
in time would prove to be a second
Comstock. He had paid the dividends
he said, to keep the stockholders from
grumbling, they not being able to
understand why the work at the
mines had not been more productive.
1T is Just such swindles as the
above that keeps capital from coming
into Eureka.-ED. SENTINEL
