Among the guests at the Palace is
Joseph Cohen, of Red Bluff, who is
credited with owning nearly or quite
half of that portion Of the state lying
north of Yuba county. Sheppard cattle
form the greater portion of Mr.. Cohen's
wealth aside from his landed interests,
and it is said that in order to acquit a
man who has been arrested for sheep or
cattle stealing it is only necessary to
prove that they were stolen from Joseph
Cohen.

1T WAS Sailed.
This is the story Told Of a Gold HiI
Placer Claim.

IRock Springs independently
Last Saturday we were shown at the
First National bank samples of washings
from the Gold Hill or Brush Creek placer
claims belonging to the recently organized
Rock Springs Placer company. There
we're half a dozen different samples, each
sample being the washing of a shovelful
parts of tho claim. The samples were
beautiful. GlitterinR among the black
sand in the shallow dishes that held the
various samples were tiny nuggets of viz
gin gold ranging in size from a pin point
to a large pin head. Tho samples were
accompanied by a promising report from
the expert placer miner who had been
hired to investigate the prospects and lay
out the work.
Before going further, however. the
company thought it best to make a per-
sonal investigation of the claim. Some
OF them had been skeDtical. Accordingly.
Saturday evening half a dozen gentlemen
took the train for Rawlins and drove to
Saratoga. -Four O'Clock next morning
they drove out to their placer claims. The
mining expert was there and took them
over the ground. The amateur miners
took n shovel iull Of gravel from various
places and washed them out, but not a
color could be found, The xpert was
puzzled and the investigators began to
smell a large-siZed mouse. Finally the
expert took them to where a particularly
rich sample had been found and carefully
washed out a pan full. One color was
found, very small and different from the
colors Alledged to have been taken from
former washings. The expert said at
once that the ground had been sailed and
that the placer claims upon which the
company had built such strong hopes was
worth about ten cents a ton.
Who sailed It2 Suspicion at once
pointed to the resident member of the
company who had turned in his claims
and induced other members TO turn in
their money. This man was present
whenever any washing, we're made and
succeeded in fooling not only the hired
expert, but also every other person who
had gone up there to look the ground
over. Happily the discovery OF the fraud
came before any large outlay had been
made. but bad the report OF the expert
been accepted without investigation the
company would have begun the coustruc.
uon of expensive works.

needed in the Dakotas, Nebraska and

somewhat injured by the frosts last night.

Missouri and Colorado. Reports from

regret by many people. It is the first at
tempt to salt a claim that has yet come to
light and we believe the only case of the
kind in existence so far as Gold Hill is
concerned. Up to this time the camp
has been peculiarly fortunate. Nothing
appears to have been claimed for it that
it did not actually possess. The men who
had most heavily invested IN it were men
who lived ID the immediate neighborhood
and their conduct has been marked by a
conservatism worthy Of praise. 1t is
therefore unpleasant to hear at this time
OF such an attempt as hat narrated in
another column. 1t will undoubtedly be
taken advantage Of to the possible detn-

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. MAY l6.-At q
banquet given this evening by a number
of gentlemen interested in civil service re.
form to Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, that
gentleman, after speaking at some length
of the workings of the civil service,
launched out in answer to the recent ar
ticle of j. s.. Clsrkson in the North
American Reuie1. He vigorously denied
the truth of Clarkson's assertion that the
civil service commission was more opposed
to the Republican party under Harrison
than it was under Cleveland, The com
mission is merely enforcing the law. He
said 1t was Just as foolish for
ClaTkson to say the Democrats
had purchased mugwump papers as ii
was to declare that they had pur-
chased Clarkson to write the article, which
really played into the Democrats hands.
Then Roosevelt accused ClarGson of run
ming the postofice department as a
''spoils machine treating fourth class
offices as simply the property OF congress-
men in whose districts they we're situated.
In conclusion, Roosevelt said President
Harrison and the civil service commission
under him were dong everything in their
bower TO enforce the civil service laws and
extend their scope.

THE RON TON LIVERY.
James Newmnn's PuTchHse OF the Well
Known Charlton Barn on
Eighteenth and Eddy.

Mr.. James Newman of this city has
during the past week purchased the
Charlton livery barn on the corner of
Eighteenth and Eddy streets and intends
dovoting his personal attention to its
management. Mr.. Newman is too well
known to need any extended notice of his
qualifications aud ability to conduct a first
class livery stable, and the simple men
ton of the fact that he has taken the
Charlton stables will be sufficient guaranty
that they will be the best in the city.
Mr.. Newman will have good teams. fine
carriages, safe and gentle saddle horses
aud plenty of them so that any one
wanting asingle or double team or saddle
horse at any time can be Accommodated.
Special attention will be paid to boarding
teams for private owners and the best OF
care will be taken of all stock boarding at
the stables.
Under Mr. Newn.an's ownership and
management there is no doubt that the
Charlton stables will regain and keep
their reputation of being the best in the
city.

person who is going there" There was
once an artist who painted n picture of
Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
1t was exhibited publicly. One day the
painter, entering the hall, saw two men
who appeared to be farmers, standing
before the picture.
"Now, said the artist to himself, 81
can hear an unprecedented opinion of my
work"
He drew near and listened to what the
farmers were saying.
"Well, John said one, what do you
think OF it,"
Its pretty good, said the other, "but
there's one thing about it that strikes
me as a little mite queer"

NEW YORK, May l6.-The stock mar
ket today was active and while weak at
first rallied sharply, nearly recovering
early LOSSES and bringing prices up close
to those of last evening. The general ex-
pectation, in view of the extraordinarily
heavy shipments OF gold the las. two
weeks, was that the bank statement would
showa serious decrease and there was,
therefore, a vigorous effort to sell. The
statement, however, when it appeared
showed a small increase in receipts, in
stead of the loss expected, and there was
a rush to buy, greater ever than the pre-
vious pressure to sell and prices rallied
very sharply. The market closed active
