SAN BERNARpINo. Jan. 11.-This morn

Peter Filanc, wei-to-do farmer living
about four miles south of this city, and rep
resented themselves to be. one a Judge
from Fresno and the other an agent of the
Louisiana Lottery Company. They stated
that they had called on him with the inten-
ton of buying his ranch. After talking
a while the lottery man drew small box
from his satchel and asked Filanc to draw
a number. Filanc drew q number, winning
So, which was promptly paid him. The
second time he drew $500. The strangers
then informed him that be would have to
come TO the city and get $500 to deposit
with them as security, stating that they
would paw all interest accruing therefrom.
They told him to bring the money TO the
house and pay it to them. Filanc came to
the Farmers Exchange Bank as directed to
draw the money. but Marshal Thomas got

bank not to accommodate Filanc. although
he had thousands of deposit. The bank

Two Miners Buried by an
Avalanche.
WARNED OF THEIR DOOM.
While Preparing to Avert the I'M
pending Danger They Were Swept
to Their Death.
speelsl to THE MogSrSo CALL

SPOKANE, jar. IA terrific snowslide
swept down the mountain side last Wednes-
day in the Kaslo SLOGAN district, killing
two men. Martin FIaherty and James
SwiIzer, and running considerable property.
The Freddie Lee mine, where the men were
working. was almost in its path. Much
snow had fallen in the mountains, and rain
began to fall three days before the accident.
Experienced miners anticipated a snow
slide, and preparations had been made at
the mine TO avert the danger. Mr. Springer,
the foreman, had ordered the blacksmith
shop removed to the month of the tunnel,
and instructed Flsherty and Switzer to sack
the ore in the tunnel. The blacksmith was
getting his tools together when he heard
muttering sound, which instantly grew into
a roar. He broke into run for the mouth
of the tunnel, shouting to the other men
that the avalanche was upon them.
Just as he entered the tunnel the snow
slide swept by. The men were missed i'm
mediatey afterward. but no trace of them
was found, except their hammers and few
sacks which were lying outside the tunnel.
1t is supposed that Flaherty and Switzer
ran out Of the tunnel to see what was the
matter and before they could return were
caught in the avalanche.
Their bodies are in the gulch below the
mine, covered over with $50 feet OF snow.
1t will be impossible to recover their re-
mains before morning. The blacksmith
shop, woodShed and oreaouse were swept
away. Near the month of the tunnel were
400 or 500 tons. OF second-class ore which
was carried down the mountain.

PLACERS PETER OUT.
Something Like the Truth About San
Juan

DURANGO. Colo. Jan. IA. Kuebler
returned to-day from Conewash, on the San
Juan River, about seventy five miles from
Bluff City. He was sent out by the Board
of Trade Of this city. he states that there
is absolutely nothing to warrant the excite
meut in that section. No gold has been
taken out and 5000 men and women are
headed back for civilization.
Unlike most of the boom sections, there
is no scarcity of food. The country has
been flooded with provisions of all kinds,
and -four is being offered at 81 30 per hun
dred, and other things in proportion. with
no takers. He met several men who had no
bedding and were begging their food. They
were afoot and would have persisted but for
the kindness OF others more fortunately sit
uated.
Provisions aud food of all kinds are scat
tered along the river for five miles, being
abandoned by the owners, who seem only
anxious TO get out OF the country as speedily
as possible. In many instances men went
in with nothing, and are cursing the men
who started the boom, as they gave up their
positions in order to get into Ell Dorado, So
called.
There has been no trouble of any kind, a
bond of sympathy existing between all the
duped gold seekers. Several other men re-
turned last night, and they verify the above
statements. In conclusion Kueber said
The whole business IS a fake. There is
nothing In the country at all. and people
