SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 26.-Sh eriff
Holcomb this afternoon received photo.
graph of the man who is under arrest at
Atlanta, Tex. who is thought to be J. L.
Douglass, the Hespera murderer. The
description corresponds with that of
Douglass, even in detail, and there is
little doubt that he is the man who
is SO badly wanted. and for whom such
an extended search has been made.
No,one in this city knew Douglass and
no pictures of him are in possession of
the officsrs so it will be necessary to send
the picture to Hesperia tonight for final
Identification. This will be done and
steps will then he taken to bring the MUIR
derer back IRON Texas.
THE DESERT QUEENS GOLD.
J. b. McHaney, the principal cwnsr of
the Desert Queen and a group of contigu
Gus mining claims. arrived in the city to-
day and deposited with the Farmero' Ex-
change bank 80 ounces of gold, the re-
suit of between four and live days run
with their recently erected fve-stam p
mill. The gold is worth nearly $4,000 at
the bank.
This run was from second.class ore that
had accumulated on the dump from de-
velopmeEt work, an1 none of the speci-
men rock with which the mine abounds
has been sent to the mill
Development work on this property is
most satisfactory. The main incline is
eighty feet and shows the vein seven feet
wide and drillings show that the Gaping
OF the hill is a well mineralized quartzite
and with II mill on the ground would all
pay for working. Besides the main in
cline Others have been run along the
Wien varying III depth from 80 TO 100
feet, all showing strong mineralized
vein. These development works exploit
the ledge for length of 500 feet The
property SO far has fully justified the con-
fidence of its owners and has paid for its
Development the erection of five-stamp
mill. construction of roads, teams and
equipments of all kinds, and sinking of
wells for water out OF the returns of sur
face ore and what was taken out in run
ming inclines. No drifting or stopping
has been dom on the property. II future
developments fulfill present promise the
Desert Queen is destined to be one of the
richest gold producers on the coastr.
