oALIFoRNiA's QUEER CAVERN
i Wonder of the Pacific Coast Which Has
NcXcr Heen Explored.

On the north side Of Table mountain
and near its top is an opening in the
lava that has since its early days been
known as the lions den" 1t was SO
named from the fact that for years it
was the lair of band of ferocious Cal
ifornia lions that, when the country
was largely devoted to sheep raising,
made mighty depredations upon the
hoclls and caused the owners much an
noyancc and loss. When pursued the
animals would seek refuge in this den
and no hunter would dare to enter it..
The ground about the entrance was
covered with the bones and remnants
Of sheep and other animals. With the
increase of population the lions have
gradually disappeared, although as late
rs last spring two of the animals were
seen to enter the cave. Oroville Mer-
curry says no known man has ever pen
etrated this cave TO its fullest depth.
The mouth is about four or five feet
high and three feet wide and the open
ing descends with a sharp decline for
about two hundred feet. Further than
this it has never been explored. Now,
however, a party of young men have
made arrangements to explore it, and,
II IfbNHl'At- lltIENLIdl " us bOllOlil
That IL is of great depth is certain, for
one can stand at the opening and heave
great stones down the declivity and the
sound will gradually die away in the
distance. The young men have pro-
cured several hundred feet of ropes,
torches and ladders and viii thoroughly
explore the cavern.
What adds a peculiar interest to the
expedition and gives zest to the explor-
ers is the well-known fact that in the
heydcy of his career as a bandit Joaquin
Murietta and his band of faithful fol-
lowers made the recesses of Table
mountain the base of their operations
in this section. From there they would
swoop down on the miners, and then,
laden with gold dust, retreat to the
mountains. Search as they might, the
officers could not locate them. 1t has
been supposed by many this same cave
was where the famous outlaw secreted
himself. 1t may be, too, that deep
down in the bowels of the earth Joa-
quin hid the greater portion of his ill
gotten, but nevertheless just as potent,
wealth.

WITHOUT A SCRATCH.
COrbett Knocks Out John l.. Sullivan
and is Declared the w OrId's
Champion.

New ORLEANS, Sept. S.-The greatest
prize ring contest in the worlds history
took place at the Olympic club rooms last
night, when James J. Corbett, formerly q
bank cashier in San Francisco, knocked
out champion John l.. Sullivan and was
declared champion Of the world. T2en.
ty.one rounds were fought. Both men
were in prime condition, and the contest
was witnessed by the widest crowd ever
assembled on similar occasion. Cor
bett out.fought his antagonist at every
point. Sullivan fought viciously while Cor.
bett smiled and repeatedly landed sting
ing blows which drew blood from Sulivan's e
nose. There was hard fighting In the fifth
round, and in the seventh it became ap-
parent that Sullivan's star was on the
decline. In the eleventh round the
champion vas forced to the ropes and got
two blows in the nose Corbett the ag-
gressor. They clinched and Sullivan hurt
Corbett little; both exchanged vicious
blows. In the eighteenth round Sullivan
was completely winded. In the twenty
first round Sullivan came up weak and
was knocked down. He failed to get up
and Corbett was awarded the victory
without scratch. Sullivan was badly
punished and bled profusely.
James j. Corbett was declared winner
in the twenty-irst round, and proclaimed
champion of the world. Sullivan was
brought round, stepped to middle OF the
ring, and made speech saying he was glad
the championship renamed in America,
but that he had fought once too often !;
the crowd cheered him wildly.
The Californian said he did not feel the
least bit tired, and that he had worked
ten times harder than that every day he
had trained for the fight. He added:
81 am satisfied that could have whipped
him very much sooner, had l gone into
hard in-fghting, but was triffle leary.
On several occasions was sorely tempted
to close right in on him and do him quick,
but my seconds kept at me to be little
cautious, that was doing well and having
all the best of it, and that | had better
fight little shy Of his right hand"
Word was received from Charley John
son, Sullivan's hacker, that he was will
ing to back Corbett against Peter Jack
son or any man in the world for $4,000.
Cofbett says he is on top now and can
afford to rest while; that his day for
begging at other mems doors has gone
by. Corbett will leave for New York to-
morrow morning OH decorated train,
stopping over at various places, and arriv-
ing in New York Sunday afternoon in
time for his boxing entertainment in

REMOVE The STIGMA.
Cheering News from San Miguel-The
People Aroused to Wipe Out
the White Caps.

Special Correspondence.
LAS VEGAS, September 6.-If there is
anything in the signs OF the times political
matters in San Miguel county are assum.
ing shape that will result in routing
the Whito Cap party, horse, foot and dra'
goons.
1t was stated in public meeting here O
few days ago, by man of acknowledged
veracity who knew what he was talking
about, that no fewer than 400 OF the So
called Peoples party have withdrawn
from that party and will support the Re-
publican ticket. This dsaffection in the
ranks of the White Cap party alone
would defeat that party at the polls, but
that is not all. A Union league has been
formed in East Las Vegas, composed of
both Republicans and Democrats, the
object and purpose OF which is to defeat
the White Cap party. This league has at
this time membership OF over 400, with
its number steadily increasing. 1t is
predicted that there will be a member
ship of about 600 before the election.
A joint meeting of two committees, one
representing the Union league and the
other representing the Law and Order
organization, was had few days ago,
and at that meeting it was agreed that
there should be placed in the field a Re-
publican ticket, and also Union league
ticket; the two tickets to contain the
names Of the same candidates This will
insure the election of the ticket and a
splendid majority for the candidate for
congress.
The people here are waking up to
the fact that it is their duty to remove
the stigma and disgrace brought upon
this county two years ago by the election
OF the White Cap candidates
1t wonld take more space than you
would be willing to give in your valuable
paper to enter upon the details Of the
causes why change has been
determined on. You may expect, how
ever, to hear good report from the old
county of San Miguel after election day.

here yesterday, after giving birth to a
child, and her case has awakended much
interest and sympathy. The glrl was, ev
dent from her bearing and apparel, Of
good birth, and the authorities have
started an inquiry which will, it is hoped,
result in establishing her identity. She
came here from somewhere south about
two weeks ago, and went direct to the
city hospital. All urging failed to get her
to reveal the location of her home or the
name Of her betrayer, and it was not
until after her death and burial that an
old memorandum was discovered which
bore the names and addresses: "Mrs. A.
NJ. Enlow, Lake Valley, N. M" and "E.
M. Enlow, Minneapolis, Las Animas

Many of the local merchants, importers
who engage in disputes and protests with

sustain such protests. are of opinion that, if
successful in their proceedings they are
entitled TO recover their costs from the

always been of a contrary opinion. but the
doubt, if any existed, has now been clearly
dispelled.
Collector Phelps has received a circular

It will be observed that all these groups
are designed primarily with the arehi-
tectuTal end in view. The sites Of their
position are rs feet from the ground. In
the design Of the building their function is
to connect the straight structural lines Of
the lover building with the curved lines Of
the dome. The broken and airy effect of
the great outspTead wings aad Of the tIum-
pets projecting from the base not only gives
symmetry and balance TO each group. but
happily carries the idea to a change in
structural form. Again, the great elevation
makes this plan Of group necessary. A
solid massive figure or a group closely as

A STRANGE KICK"
Captain Laughorn Erred Because

Captain Laughorn Erred Because He
Shipped Union Mn.
Consistency is a jewel that some of the
members Of the seamens union apparently
do moi seem to realize the value Of. Just
before the steamer Araso departed on her
last trip to Coos Bay one Of her crew went
ashore and did not return, so Captain Lang
horn shipped the first union man that offered
himself.
The new man did his work we'll, and is a
member Of the union in good standing. but
this did not prevent some of the union
men going to Captain Langhorn Yesterday
and demanding that he discharge the sailor
and ship another in his place, giving as
reasons that the man was not at the head of
the list and not entitled to the berth.
This the captain refused 10 DO. saving The
man suited him, and so long as he was a
member OF the union he did not see what
right the union had to interfere. Up to a
late hour they seemed rs determined to
take the man out Of the ship as the captain
was equally de termined that he should
stay,
