FRESHMEN OF STAN FORD,

Trouble Experienced In Finding
FuIIback for the Foot

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Sept.
15.-The reception to the class of '99 by
the Christian Association of the University
was a great success. 1t was given last
evening in the Stanford gymnasium.
which had been specially fitted up for the
occasion. Three hundred guests were on
hand, not all of them new students, though
these were in the majority. This recep-
ton is given each year to the incoming
class, and is gradually proving more ana
more OF an attraction and feature of col
lege life.
Dr. Jordan in his usual felicitous and
cordial manner welcomed the newcomers
to Stanford.
Some two hours were spent in introduce
tions and pleasant social intercourse and
refreshments.
Yesterday afternoon seueral of the foot
ball team were on hand for work when the
teams captain entered the ''gridiron. "
Punting was the order of the exercise,
after which a run across country was given
the men. Thus far no likely candidate has
appeared for fullback. All the men trying
for that position are weak at kicking, and
1t is recognized that Berkeley will be IN
usually strong in that regard this year.
With the great Yale kicker, Butter
worth, as a coach and Ransome for full,
the Stanford men feel little anxious for
the appearance of a good punter on their
field. Soper '98 was expected to be on
hand TO train for the position, but word
has been received that he will not return
to the university this semester. Soper was
fine kicker, but mediocre player in most
other respects.
So far this semester registration is up to
last years at the same time, being over $50.

BOULDER MINE REPORTS
Rich Veins of Ore Struck in
Sinking Fifty-Foot
Shaft.
PLACER MINING REvIvING.
Some Excellent Discoveries Made
About Forty Miles From San
Bernardino.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Sept. 49,
Very encouraging news comes from the
Boulder Mining Companys property,
situated about thirty-tive miles southeast
of Salton station on the Southern Pacific
Railroad. The company's headquarters
are at Los Angeles. The company was in
corporated in August. Some of the owners
live in this city.
The company has six claims, the best
one of which is the Boulder. From assays
recently made it is shown that the ore
runs all the way from SIG so to $195. At
the Boulder mine there is a shaft which
has reached depth of fifty feet. All the
way down the shaft are gold veins, which
will average on milling $40 per ton. The
quality of the rock is granite, and the
veins are OF uniform width.
So far on the six claims eight shafts
varying from % to so feet, have been
sunk, and four tunnels run IN from "a to
$50 feet, bringing to view the very bright
est of prospects. A Bryan rotary mill,
that will cost $4,000, has been ordered,
and will be in running order inside of
sixty days. The mines have most COM
handing position. They are at an alti-
tude of 1000 feet which does away with
much desert heat. The hills are covered
with mesquite and ironwood. In the i'm

mediate vicinity of the mine there is
constant flow of water for eight months IN
the year, which is more than enough to
operate a ten-stamp mill. The Boulder
district mines promise to be second to
none in Southern California.
Placer mining is coming pretty we'll to
the front, as some very good discoveries
have been made about forty miles to the
northwest OF this city in the Fish Fork
branch of the San Gabriel Canyon and
about thirty miles from the mouth of the
canyon. There are three claims-the Lone
Boy, White Oak and the Mystery-owned
by Earl and Ernest o. Ames of San Ber-
nardino. These mines are twenty acres to
the claim. Work has been retarded, as
the owners are both poor men and cannot
put in the money necessary to properly
operate the claims. In running thirty
foot tunnel on the Mystery between $50
and 500 was taken out the gold lying
mostly in pockets. The bedrock is hard
and smooth. fifty-foot tunnel is being
run on the Lone Boy and the indications
are very bright. In order to work the
mines to an advantage the river must be
f1umed and diverted from it's present

miners have traversed the San Gabriel
Canyon right over the claims and never
made discovery. The country is very
rough, sixteen miles having to be travelled
on burros.
Mining in and about Vanderbilt is quite
lively. Near Blackburn station Miller &
Crane are shipping ore three times week
that nets $40 per ton.
The Campbell mill at Vanderbilt is
working ores from the st. George and
Boomerang mines, the cleanup on a
two weeks run being $4,000. The Boom
erang has been opened up to depth of
$50 feet, showing two-foot ledge.
The Gold Bronze is opened up to a
depth of $50 feet, with 50-foot levels ex-
tending $50 feet east and west from The

The Chippie mine, which lies east of
the Gold Bronze, has been opened up to a
depth of lbs feet. showing very rich ore.
The Hongkong shows well-defined

Ing Buildings.

HAVANA, CUBA, Sept. 15.-The steamer
Colon arrived here this morning with re-
endorsements for the Spanish troops. The
newly arrived soldiers were given an en-
thusiastic reception.
The rebels, under the leader known as
"El Mejickano" (the Mexican), attacked
the village OF Arminac in the Cienfuegos
district, on Wednesday night, but were re-
pulsed after an hours fighting.
Advices from Remedies are to the effect
that twenty-six rebels have surrendered
there.
Small rebel bands have burned the build
ings on the estate La California, near Laias.
They also burned houses on the Indeo
plantation and a bridge at Albino, near
Cienfuegos. Troops are pursuing the
bands.
Major AnnibaI has had engagements
with 400 rebels under Sanchez at Puro and
attacked TELEGRAPH, Horcas and Colonia de
Juan Jobar, capturing two camps and
arms, ammunition, etc. The insurgents
were routed and dispersed. Many rebels
were killed or wounded. The Government
loss was four wounded. Troops are pur-
suing the rebels toward Ceibo, where San
chez will attempt to join Masferrer's band.

.PRUNES OF SANTA CLARA,
Growers Advised to Be More
Careful in Grading Their
Fruit.
Reports From France Show a Big
Shortage In the Crops of
Europe.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. 15.-Colonel
Philo Hersey, president of the Santa Clara
County Fruit Exchange, in speaking of
the prices realized for prunes, said:
The exchange has sold about sixty car
loads of prunes on the basis Of Az cents
per pound for the average of the four sizes.
Much loss is often occasioned to a fruit
seller because he does not correctly gauge
the size of his fruit. Every prune-raiser
should invest in pair of scales and learn
how to determine from test of his yield
what is the size of his fruit. Not long ago
a buyer made a grower believe that his
prunes would average seventy-eight to the
pound, when as matter of fact the aver
age was from sixty to sixty-two. The sale
was made on the basis of seventy-eight to
the pound, and in consequence the grower
lost and the buyer made several hundred
dollars by the trade.
reports from France are TO the effect
that the product this year Is not of the
first quality and not plentiful. We
can put prunes into New York for cents,
and it would cost 7 cents to lay down the
same quality from France. There is no
fear of competition from that country this
year, duu lOI luht IedSOIl III Is lOOliSu 10 get
into the market before the natural demand
comes and fill the West with prunes at
from 334 to 4 cents.
''In 1894 the product of French prunes in
France, Servla and other foreign counties
was 225, 600, GOO pounds. This year their
product is about 100000 pounds, or
about 10000, 600 less than they consumed
themselves last year. The market in the
West is fiat, and if any prunes have been
sold in Chicago it has been on basis of
cents for the average of the four sizes.
No attention should be paid to Mime
apolis or st. Paul, for those cities are the
slop-pails for Chicago.
cit is a ruinous policy to fill up the
market early in the season with F. o. B.
goods, and afterward goods, are consigned
to be sold at any price that can be OBJ
tanned. This has tendency to break
down the market, and dealers in the East
have lost money thereby so that many
now demand that all goods shall be on
Instead of forcing these
goods upon the market by consignment
we should wait till the other goods have
been disposed of and then market the re-
also upon an F. 0. B. basis.''

The Grand RoteJ Roma Seized and Its
Proprietor Elected.
NEW YORK, \. Y, Sept. 16.-A special
from Bridgeport, Connecticut. says:
Facts about another outrage perpetrated
on an American citizen by the Spanish
officials at Havana have been made public
through letters received in this city by
Fred B. Swift, editor of the Herald:
John Repko, citizen OF the United
States, has for eight years been the propri-
etor of the Grand Hotel Roma. The Span
ish Government, under a pretense OF some
tax amounting to $500, seized the hotel at
midnight and turned Mr.. Repko and his
family out of doors. His business, he says,
was worth $4,000 at the time. He will ap-
peal to the President of the United States
10 assist him in getting redress. Mr. Repko
is in Florida, but will come north in a
short time and lay the facts in the case be-
fore the State Department.
Mrs. Repko. speaking Of her husband
and the trouble with the Spanish officials
in Havana, said:
d" Mr.. Repko purchased the Hotel Roma
and the property on which it stands six
years ago. The land on which the hotel
kitchen is built is separate lot. which
has been in litigation great many years.
Its ownership was so long a matter of
doubt that finally the Spanish Govern
ment claimed it and charged my husband
rent for it. The Government, however,
did not press It's claim until the outbreak
OF the Cuban rebellion, when they in
formed my husband that he must pay
$500 for it.
when the war broke out our Govern
ment guests left Us and the hotel became
a resort for Cuban and rebel sympathizers.
That, of course, angered the SpaniarFs.
who accused rs of taking an active part in
the Cuban cause. We were annoyed in
every way Spanish ingenuity could invent
and finally an immediate demand for the
$500 which the Government claimed for
rent of the ground occupied by the kitchen
was made. Mr.. Repko was unable to pay
the money and unable to appease the Gov
eminent and at midnight the soldiers
came to the hotel and forced Us to leave.
They allowed US to take nothing. They
seized everything. even my husbands
clothes, and turned US out in the street.
My husband went to Mr.. Williams, the
American Consul, and explained the situa-
ton to him, and Mr.. Williams procured
tickets for myself and household on the
steamer Yucatan."

large crowd of spectators. A gold medal
to be won three times was the principal
prize, although several minor prizes were
offered. The race was close and the riders
were well punched at the finish. q. Kun

CONSTIPATION.

Certainly nothing in the world is the
certain forerunner of malignant disease in
the way that this annoying irregularity is.
Were the human family entirely freed from
it, it is not too much to say that half the
terrible ravages which are wrought by con-
tagious and other diseases would be blotted
out. But the half-hearted "medlcos" of
to-day say that it cannot be cured. No one
would ever say that who had tried course
of JOYS Vegetable Sarsaparilla, for the
effect is at once apparent. But there is
nothing which can take the place OF
JOYS. Don't be deceived about that. It
is the only thing.

fair, which opens here tomorrow, promises
to be the greatest in the history OF the asso-
citation in point of attendance and exhibits
and the high class OF races.
There are double attractions this year.
Since the last meet three new railroads and
other great enterprises have been inaugu-
rated and are now under way. People all
over Central California expect to take adj
vantage of the reduced rates to come here
and see for themselves the great strides
taken by this city during the last twelve
months There will be a Valley Railroad
day at the fair. when the forces at work on
the construction of the peoples railroad
will take a brief holiday to see the races
and the pavilion exhibits.
The weather, too, smiles on the opening
of the fair Old time fair weather has al
WAYS supposed to mean rain and mud, but
it is reversed this year, and Old Sol smiles
over city and valley to-day, with every IN
dication that he will continue to do so the
remainder OF the week.
The space in the pavilion Is all taken,
and the exhibits cover greater line OF IN
dustries, from every section OF the county,
than ever before seen here.
The track is in splendid shape and the
grounds improved greatly, while the en-
tries are more numerous than ever. Be-
sides strings brought from Sacr amento
other horses not entered there and some
promising local horses will compete for
good purses offered. Five carloads of
horses from Sacramento came this morn
ing, more this evening, and many we're
already stabbed during the latter part of
last week. The races will last, as usual
six days. and are to be called promptly at
l O'Clock each day.
