JESUS SOLOMON'S MINES.
RICH STRIKE MADE IN THE CARGO
MUCHACHO DISTRICT.
A Theory in Placer Mining Which Proved
Practical-Gold as Thick as Raisins in
a Pudding.

The Yuma Sentinel contains an ac-
count of some rich placer mines recently
discovered in the Cargo Muchecho dis
trict. The following statements are
taken from the article:
The discoverer of the new placer, Jesus
Solomon, more Familiarity known in
Yuma as "Charley," is visiting relatives
here, and in an interview with him the
following facts were learned:
Well, last summer l was prospecting
around in the Cargo Muchacho country
with but little success. l had about
concluded to quit looking for new placer
ground, when, in conversation with
some miners who had worked in the old
Cargo Muchacho mines, learned
curious fact, which set me TO thinking,
and concluded to work the problem
out. 1t was this that they told me:
| FIRST, that the old ground had been thor
oughly worked out and had paid good
wages clear down the arroyo from the
hills to the mesa, where the wash made
sharp turn, almost at right angles
| from it's course and continued on.
Coarse gold was clear along to the point
| where the arroyo turned, and al
though the precious metal was found
in the arroyo below the mesa, the gold
was 'foury" and the bedrock showed
| only few pockets, which did not prove
| profitable. | wes also told that clear
| from the hills down to the mesa, where
the arroyo turned, water was found on
the bedrock. From the place, however,
where the arroyo changed its course no
water was found on the bedrock. Now,
to the careless hearer, this information
might have been thought valueless, but
| | reasoned the matter out, and con-
cluded the channel, in which the old
| workings had produced gold, ran di
rectly on and under the mesa. Finally
| proposed to my brother-in- law, Igna
| clio Yanez. to 60 in with me and delve
for the riches.
1t was Just twenty-six days ago today
that we struck water, and with hearty
cheers my partners knew my theory was
correct and we were in the channel. The
water was found drst at depth of forty
feet; we soon got the water out. and at
forty-three feet below the mesa struck
bedrock. Now came the excitement.
The first load OF dirt taken out from off
the bedrock carried coarse gold to the
amount of two ounces. Clearing a small
part of the bedrock we found in the
crevices, through which water was trick
ling, Sl10 of gold coarse, heavy stuf,
stuck in the rock like raisins in a pud.
ding. We concluded we had enough
coin for present purposes and went into
the Cargo Muchacho camp to tell of our
strike. Great excitement prevailed, and
it was not long until all the available
ground was located. We have worked
on and off for twenty five days since we
made our find, at no time over four
hours day, aud have taken out $99S of
gold dust, which has been converted into
coin. The largest amount | took out in
one working OF four hours was $3.50. The
dirt as worked has averaged one ounce
to the load, the weight Of the latter be-
ing $50 pounds. We have let our friends
come in and take out occasionally pan
of dirt for luck, and in that way over
$500 has been given away.

LOST IN THE SIERRAS.
Five Men Thought to Have Perlshed
Near Lake Tahoe.

Near Lake Tahoe.
CARSON, New. Dec. 29.-Joseph Klein,
son of Jake Klein, of the Bullion Ex-
change bank, and George Bosworth left
Placerville two weeks ago to walk to
Carson over the mountains. Shortly
afterwards they were met by Henry
Barton at Dennis Johnson's place. Bar
ton says they were apparently tired out
and he advised them to turn back, or at
any rate not cross the summit at that
time. Bosworth was willing, but Klein
insisted upon pushing on to the next
station, eleven miles. Both started up
the mountain. Since then nothing has
been heard of them.
Three other men started over the
summit the Sunday previous. One OF
them was found dead by Barton and
McNull, twelve miles from Lake Tahoe.
Barton further continued the search on
snow shoes, but found nothing of the
others. All the stations have been
visited by searchers. None of the wan
derers have been found.
The storms in the mountains for the
last week have been terrible; the nights
are cold enough to freeze one to death.
Barton knows the country well, and is
certain that all five men perished. The
father of Klein will send reliefs through
the hills in the hope of finding his son.
There is little shelter where these storms
of snow and elect sweep across the
sierras.
Jake Klein sent word to Lake Tahoe
this morning to find his son dead or
alive, and offered 5000 reward. The
steamer Meteor left Glen Brook imme-
diately for Hobart, where relief COM
mittee was made up, and is now search
ing for the lost men.

Tho Aduiterated Flour Scandal Has Gre

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 2S.-The scan
dal arising from the discovery of adul-
terated -four here, is apt to make
trouble for number of people. A con-
signment comprising 100000 pounds
CISCO, 900 English pounds) of barley
flour, was purchased from dealers in
Libau, with view of regulating the
price of wheat in the St. Petersburg
market as we'll as to afford relief to the
famine sufferers. Investigation proved
that the entire consignment was adul-
terated with chalk dust and other sub
stances. They comprised such a large
proportion of the consignment that the
use of the alleged flour would constitute
q very dangerous menace to the health,
if not to the lives, OF those who partook
of it. In speaking of the gigantic fraud,
Novoe Vremya remarks that if such
frauds can be perpetrated in the capital
of the empire, the appalling accounts of
similar crimes in the famine-stricken
provinces cannot be exaggerated.

PouaHKEEPsIE, N. Y. Dec. 2S.-Timo-
thy Herrick, father of Albert Herrick,
the fugitive New York Central brake
man, saw his son in New York Saturday
and had long talk with him. He says
he urged his son to 60 to the railroad
officials and tell his story, but he would
public feeling. The father got him to
make written statement, which was
sent to Superintendent Mccoy today.
In it young Herrick says when his train
slowed up, but while yet moving, he
dropped off and placed two torpedoes on
the rail- then ran back to the train,
which was still moving, but as it slowed
more he took his light and started down
the track to stop the Croton local, then
nearly due. When half way down he
placed one torpedo ON the track and
got there he placed lights on the plat

and Herrick sat down and re-
mained three to five minutes, when
he heard train coming and started for
the door, believing it to be the local.
AS soon as he saw the train and knew it
was the express, he grabbed up his
light and tried to attract the engineers
atten sion, but it was too late. He fol-
lowed on up the track and soon met a
man who told him about the wreck.
He did not deem it prudent to go to the
wreck, so he turned about and came to
New York. He adds that he fully real
ICES the awful position he is placed in,
and can only say he felt sure the train

minister gave no new details, but said
the matter was now in the hands of the

Millevoye expressed regret that diplo
matte action was transferred from Sofa
to Constantinople.

exaggerated. Bulgaria aimed at free

neither atrocities nor acts of violence.
Millevoye protested that Maillefeu
spoke contrary to what was known tc
be the truth.
Maillefeu shouted: "You are not in
your right senses"
A tumult ensued; the president had
to repeatedly call for order before the
