HoMEsEEKERs' OPPORTUNITY.

The Crocker Estate Company's Land
at MERGED to be Divided and Sold.
SAN Francisco, Dec. THE Crocker
Estate Company has placed the 1900
acres of laud owned by it at Merced and
lying under the splendid irrigation sys-
tenn constructed by Crocker IL Huffman
at an expense of 81 ,600,0 coo in the Land
Department of the Central Pacific Rail
road Company, with instructions to sell
at such rates and on such terms as will
secure the settlement of the land and it's
occupation by cultivators.
The quotations of the land per acre
will include perpetual water right in
separable from the ownership of the land.
Water rights for lands not owned by the
Crocker Company will be sold to other
laudhoiders. The terms of purchase will
be easy, so that the purchase price can be
made out of the land itself by the time
the purchase money becomes due. In
terest only VIII be expected of the pur-
chaser as to the land.
The details and all the terms have not
yet been fully agreed upon, but as the
lands have been placed in charge OF Will
lam Ii. Mills, whose opposition to large
landholdings is well known, it is assumed
bv all that what has heretofore been held
out of settlement by high prices and by
the adoption Of policy of land monop-
oily, is to be made the basis of the most
active colony ever projected in the State.

ANAHEII, Dec. Friends of Abram
Aguilar, who is accused of throwing
burning oil over his wife in Los Angeles,
are satisfied of his innocence and think
that the act by which Mrs. Aguilar met
her death is the result of plot to get him

THE WHITE METAL.
Convention of the Colorado State Silver
League.

League.
DENVER, Dec. 7.-Delegates to the Colo
RADIO State Silver League from every
county in the State met in annual con-
vention here this morning. The principal
business was to nominate delegates to the
National Bimetallic Convention to be
held in Washington on the 18th inst. The
convention will probably take action re-
garding the Salida Convention and Gov
ernOr Waite's determination to call an
extra session OF the Legislature.
The smelter men throughout the State
are complaining that the supply of silver
ore has gradually decreased since the
closing of the mines in June to such an
extent that unless there is a rise in the
price Of lead and silver soon, which will
permit resumption of the low-grade
mines, there will be a famine in the ore
market which will compel most Of them
To close down.
WILL NOT BE COINED IN MEXICO.
CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. THE report
that the Mexican Government has been
treating with the Government of Colo
RADIO for the purpose of opening Mexican
mints TO coin Colorado silver into hybrid
dollars is only partially true. Colorado
persons did come here with such a
proposition two months ago, but We're
promptly informed by the Federal Gov
ernment it could not undertake to treat
with States of the American Union sepa-
rately. There is no intention here of
coming the dollar suggested.
THE GOVERNMENT WILL INTERFERE.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Acting Secre-
tary Curtis of the Treasury Department
has intimated plainly that the Govern
ment would interfere should an attempt
be made to give practical effect TO the sug-
gestion of Governor Waite of Colorado TO
make silver legal tender and provide
for free coinage at the State mint Curtis
said Governor Waite knew very well that
the United States alone had the right to
coin money, and that coinage by a State
would be contrary to the Constitution.
The Attorney General, he added, would
be asked for advice as to the proper course
to take should the occasion require ac-
ton, which he did not think would be
needed
