having an understanding with President
Cakes of the Northern Pacific by which

PAID HIS OWN DIVIDENDS.
How William WhaIen Sold Stock in
a MYTHICAL Mine.

ST. LOUIS, April 3o.-William Whalen
is now on trial In the Criminal Court
charged with one OF the most gigantic
frauds ever perpetrated in st. Louis.
The case dates back to the fall OF 1889 and
the spring of 1891. Then. it is charged.
Whalen established an Office in this city
and represented himself as the president
of the st. Peter Consolidated Gold and
Silver Mining Company. The mines were
in Antelope, New. but they were worth
less. Whalen, it is alleged. offered the
shares, $50 par value. for from $25 to $40.
and for several months declared dividends
of 10 per cent on them. producing letters
from the alleged superintendent Of the
mines, in which the stock was doomed.
Shares were purchased by many people.
but the German population held the most
stock in the mines. Early In 1890 Whalen
ceased paying dividends, and from the
records of the police he went East and at
tempted to unload the stock on the Wall
street brokers, but failed. Then. it is
said, he went to Europe to sell the stock.
and falling in this returned to st. Louis.
where he was arrested January 8, 1893

HIDDEN TREASURE DRIFTS.
Folsom Undermined Years Ago
by Gold-Hunters.
ANCIENT SUPPORTS ROT AWAY.
The Earth Is Gradually Gazing and
Houses May Sink Into the
Excavations.

SACRAMENTO, April 30.-A special to
the Bee from Folsom says: One of the
drifts of the Hidden Treasure mine at
Folsom runs east and west, parallel with
the freight depot and at a distance of
some 125 feet from said building. Last
week the miners employed in this drift
ran into an old drift running north and
south, which had evidently been dug
years ago and ON a lower level in the
gravel than the one they were employed
in, as the old timbers which. in former
years. had supported the roof Of the tun-
mel, had decayed, all0 wing the ground to
cave down and leaving space some fifteen
feet in height
The men employed Immediately reported
the finding of the drift to the proprietofs
of the mine and miner was persuaded 10
investigate the old tunnel. This he did at
the constant risk OF his life. as even
small stone thrown down the drift dis
lodged masses of earth from the roof.
which would crash to the floor of the cave.
Carefully crawling along the old aban-
doned drift he arrived at large. lofty
cavity some fifty feet wide, where an i'm
mense body of gravel had been removed.
and from the roof of " hich, unsupported
by timbers, the dirt had dropped year by
year. until but crust some twenty feet in
thickness remains betw cen the roof OF the
cave and the outside world.
By careful system of measurement 1t
was discovered that the entire ground be-
meath the large brick freight depot had
been excavated, and but little Is needed to
cause the crust to give way and engulf the
entire building with its contents.
This excavation extends even under the
railroad track. and the passage of trains
jar the earth sufficiently to cause small
particles of earth to crumble down. This
excavation has been probably made by
the Chinese, who by renting house in
Chinatown and sinking a shaft in the base
ment, have drifted under the street. ex-
tracted the dirt and rocked it out In the
house, throwing the dirt over the bank of
the old disused mines. 1t must have been
worked years ago. as the timbers have de-
cayed and disappeared, and the dropping
of earth from the roof has been slow, but
from present appearances IN a short time
the entire surface will give way, carrying

That they succeeded in this is evidenced
by the fact that to REINFORCE their weak
