tingent.
Two and half miles below the free
bridge is rifle, which the report of Major
Heuer says is almost impossible to over
'come, but plain statement OF facts by
Captain Roberts, together with personal
inspection of the rifle, was sufficient to
convince the Senators and Congressman
that it wouldn't bankrupt the Government
to remove that trifing obstruction, and
give the people of Northern California
river navigation to Redding.
From the river the party was driven
over the scenic river road to the new town
of Keswick. KesWick is located at the
mouth of Spring Creek on the Sacramento
River, twelve miles from Redding and
seventeen miles by the new railroad sur
vey from the Iron Mountain mine. Here
is being erected the large smelter OF the
Mountain mines. The visit was made by
invitation of Charles W. Fielding, one of
the English company owning the mines,
and was arranged with the intent OF show
ing the great amount of freight the Noun
tain mines would transport by water
should the Sacramento be made navigable
to the point. \ visit TO the greatest cop
per mine on earth was perhaps treat new
to every one of the distinguished party,
and as the dizzy heights of the mountain
grades were climbed to-day the Senators
looked up in amaZement and the Congress
men were awe-stricken at the superb scene
before them.
The party were also piloted through the
underground works of the mine. Three
levels were visited, and the mode OF
operating the many appliances and pieces
of machinery was explained by the guides:
The party returned to Redding at $50
this evening, and an impromptu reception
was given the visitors. Brass bands were
out tonight and the strangers were sere-
naded at their rooms at the depot hotel.
All of the party spoke favorably OF the
practicabiiity of opening the river to
navigation to Redding, and the result OF
their visit to-day is looked forward to with
confidence by the people here.

PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 24.-Victor
Kirchner, collector, has disappeared
from this city, leaving wife and three
children on the East Side in need.
Kirchner came here from San Francisco
six months ago. He was civil engineer,
but failed to secure employment. He en-
gagged III the collection business some time
ago, but poor business made him despond-
ent, and his friends think he has become
mentally unbalanced. 1t is said his ac-
counts with clients are all right. Kirchner
is graduate of Freiberg University, and
is about 40 years of age. His wife does not
think he committed suicide.

SANTA BARB4R4,S PLIGHT.
Il Prisoner Who Refuses to Leave Jail
IEHPn Efl,eed.


SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Sept "a
Santa Barbara has an extraordinary case
of dementia in the person of Mrs. Helen
Buernheim, the wealthy German widow
who gave herself up to the City Marshal
few weeks ago, charging herself with
arson in having set fire to her own house a
few nights previous. Mrs. Buernheim to-
day underwent thorough and searching
examination at the hands of the City Ply
sician and other officials. She answered
every question put to her in the clearest
and most sensible manner, and it all ways
so demonstrated her mental balance that
she was promptly acquitted of the suspi-
cion of insanity.
But when she was told that she was free
to leave the grated chamber in which she
has spent the past few weeks she abso-
lutely refused to do so, and the county
finds itself in the peculiar condition of
having a prisoner forced upon its hospi-
tally.

Rindall of San Bernardino met to-day to
arrange to have the line surveyed between

miles through the mountains, far from

mand the legal compensation of $40 day,
making the survey very expensive. If the

NarrOao Escape of Musician Berlin From
Death.

STOCKTON, CAL, Sept. 24-D. n. Ber-
lin, the musical instructor, had a mirac-
ulous escape from death this morning.
The aged musician was struck by switch
engine on Sacramento street and was
thrown fully fifteen feet. Fortunately he
was hurled at slight angle from the track
and as the engine passed on he lay just far
enough away from the iron rails to escape
the wheels of the locomotive.
The injured man was on his way to town
and was walking east on the south side of
Main street. On the southeast corner of
Sacramento and Main streets is an old.
ramshackle building, which cuts off the
view of trains approaching from the south.
Mr.. Berlin failed to hear the ringing of the
bell and was struck while on the track.

GRANTS STATION MURDER.
Body of Stranger Found o., a Railroad
Track.

IrUcHs
ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mex, Sept. "a
The body of an unknown man, who had
evidently been murdered for his money,
was found on the railway track near
Grants station, about fifty miles west of
Albuquerque, this morning.
The man was about so years of age, S
feet 8 inches tall and weighed about 100
pounds; had gray beard, and head
partly bald. From articles of clothing,
evidently new and bearing the mark of
Albuquerque dealers, it is thought he had
come to the fair or Irrigation Congress
from Arizona or California and was on his
way back, or was possibly an Eastern del
egate who was making trip to the West
before going home. In the pockets were
found two or three railroad folders and a
copy of the Detroit Free Press of the 8th
The police authorities are at work on the
case, but as yet have found no clew to the
murderers or the identity of the man.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Sept. "a
Suit was begun to-day by George Simon, a
German miner known all over Southern
California as Diamond George" against
James B. and William McHaney and their
sister, Mrs. Carrie Harrington for one half
interest in the famous Desert Queen mine.
Simon alleges that he and the McHaney
boys were equal partners as prospeetors,
and that he furnished one half the money
for the development of the property. He
also sues fer one-half the output Of the
mine, which he claims has been $50, 900 net
above expenses.
This is the second suit brought within
the week for an interest in the property,
with Charles Marshall, the convicted muir
derer in San Quentin, to hear from. The
litigation over the mine promises to be
quite as interesting as the rich ore taken
from it.
