SUPERVISORS CONVENTION
Many County Officers to Meet
in San Francisco Next
Month.
The Object Is to Secure Funds for a
California Exhibit at
Atlanta.

There is hardly doubt now but what
California will send a splendid exhibit to
the Atlanta (Ga.) International EXPOSE
ton that will be held during the coming
fall. The first and only move in this direc-
ton was made by the California State
Board of Trade. For time it looked as
though the project would fall through for
want of money, as the State had no fund
for such a purpose and the last Legislature
failed to make an appropriation.
After various ideas had been suggested
Secretary Filcher hit upon plan that met
with the favor of the members of the
Board of Trade. Under the law the SUI
pervlsors are empowered to appropriate
money for the promotion of immigration
and the publication of literature calling
attention to the advantages of the special
localities advertised. With this in mind
Colonel Irish offered resolution
That the State Board of Trade petition the
Governor OF Californis to call State conven-
ton of County Supervisors to meet in San
Francisco at some date in The near future for
the purpose of considering the adVisability of
making an exhibit of California's productions
at the said Atlanta Exposition, under the
auspices of the State Board of Trade, and OF
pledging sufficient funds for their respective
counties to pay the extra expense which will
necessarily be incurred in making said exhibit
And, further. that it is the sense OF this body
tudt the CouuLy supervisors SuOulQ CONSIDER
the question of raising funds to maintain the
State Board of Horticulture until the meet
ing OF the next Legislature.
In response to this Governor Budd YES.
terday sent telephone message te
Secretary Filcher stating that he would
call a convention of all the Supervisors in
the State, and asked Mr.. Filcher to set the
time and place. The secretary suggested
July and at once secured the Chamber oil
Commerce for the convention and Mr.
Pitcher also made arrangements for re,
duced rates by railroad for the visiting
Supervisors.
He further obtained from number Of
hotel men special rates for the delegates tc
the convention. He hopes that the County
Supervisors will become enthusiastic. and
by each county contributing a few hun
dred dollars will soon create a fund for a
fine display, and also be the means of as
sisting the Board of Horticulture, so that
its support will not fall SO heavily upon
the Commissioners, who have already con-
tributed enough for the present years ex

ORE NEAR THE SURFACE.
Heavy Yield of the Precious
Metal in the Samples
ASSayed.
MINING EXCITEMENT REVIVED.
1t Is Thought That the Newly Found
Lode Is That of the Famous
Lost Cabin Claim.

REDDING, CAL, Jane 25.-Great excite
ment prevails in mining circles in this city
to-day. A large gold-bearing belt has just
been discovered sixty miles to the north
east. The belt, so far as prospected, shows
a width of 800 feet, and crops out boldly tc
a length of 300 feet. The ore is dead black
quartz, heavily impregnated with iron and
showing a trace of copper, and is abso-
lutely free milling. Samples have been
assayed by the United States mint and the
Murray Brothers, assayers of this city
which gave an average value per ton of SOC
in gold and So in silver.
The lode is situated on Kiosk Creek, near
its junction with Pitt River, and lies be-
tween series of metamorphic and igneous
rock formations. Local biologists are Of
the opinion that it is an outcropping of the
great mother lode of the State.
Old prospectors claim it to be the "Lost
Cabin" lode. In the early sixties, just be.
fore the Modoc Indian war, prospector
found rich float gold ore on Kiosk Creek.
He built cabin and commenced prospect
ing for the ledge which threw it off. This
he succeeded in finding and within few
months brought to Shasta, which was
then the county seat and chief trading
point. some immensely rich ore. His de-
scription of the size of the ledge was such
as to cause a lack of confidence among the
old-time mining men and he returned to
his find without assistance.
Soon thereafter the Modoc war broke
out and the prospector was killed by the
Indians and his cabin burned. At inter
walls ever since prospectors have been
looking for the mine, their only clew
being the old prospector's cabin Unable
to find the latter, it naturally acquired
the name of the Lost Cabin" mine. As
quartz mining developed in the county a
new interest was taken in the old story,
and year after year prospectors headed that
way.
This spring William Murray, with the
assistance of an old prospector named An
derson, found the remains of the old cabin
and thereafter found the lode. The ore
that the former brought in excited the in
terest of prominent men and a company
was formed to test the lode thoroughly.
A party sent out by the company, in
Guiding the discoveries, returned to-day
from the mine with rich sample of the
face of the lode, which is 800 feet wide and
400 feet high where it is cut by Kiosk Creek
The find has created great excitement
and prospectors of all degrees are hurrying
to this district.

Favorable Agreement Submitted to
the Bureau of Highways by
the Railroads.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, June 26.-Emma
Dolan attempted to commit suicide at
o'clock this morning by swallowing the
contents of bottle of carbolie acid in her
apartments in the Manhattan House in
this city.
Mrs. DoIan was seated in the
room with her husband chatting gayly
when she suddenly picked up the
vial of poison, said Here goes" and
swallowed portion of its contents. Dolan
sprang toward her and struck the bottle
from her hand. The acid ran over her
chin, neck and bosom, burning it in a
frightful manner.
AS soon as possible the services of a
physician were procured, and everything
possible is being done for the unfortunate
woman. 1t seems that she is actuated by
suicide mania, as few months ago she
attempted to put an end to herself by
slashing her wrists with razor, but de-
feated her object by screaming at the
sight of blood, the cries bringing assist
ance in time to save her life.

RELICS OF EARLY DAYS
They Were Discovered in the Ruins Of
the Old City Hall
Yesterday.

In the tearing down of the old City Hal
those engaged in the work are making
many curious finds. In fact a certain por
ton of young San Francisco is now yield
ing up some of its relics to the modern
residents of what was once the thriving
hamlet of Yerba Buena, afterward known
as San Francisco
All of the discoveries are reminiscent
that is, all the discoveries that are above
the ordinary-of early days. On Monday
afternoon Joe Gumper, one of the men
engaged in the work. discovered a
wlthered human hand and a pair oil
feet cut off at the ankle. The feet
were lost in a tumble of rubbish. but he re-
tanned the hand. An investigation yester-
day showed that the hand was not as an
Gent as 1t was supposed to be, but had
evidently been relic lost by some medical
student when the Receiving Hospital was
In the corner OF the old building, and stu
dents from the Toland Medical College
gathered there. He had probably taken
the feet and hands of subject there in a
bundle and overlooked them An exami-
nation OF the preserved hand showed that
1t had been through medical process.
AS to the other finds which have been
made, the best made so far was by laborer
named Armstrong, who, yesterday, dis
covered $50 slug among the debris. 1t
was new coin to him, but he realized that
it was gold, and refused all offers for it
until he learned from neigh boring broker
what it was worth. He sold it for $55.
Another find, though not so valuable,
was made in the afternoon. 1t was a
check for 81 drawn on the Adams Elk
press Company. The finder took the
check to Patrick McDonough's saloon on
the corner of Clay and Kearnv streets, and
the latter purchased it as a memento of
early days for half the face value of the
paper.

THE ELECTION COMMISSION
mayor Sutro Besieged by Applicants for
the Places After He Has Reached
Decision.

HAayor Sutfo besleSed by Applicants Tor
the Places After He Has Reached
Decision.
Local politicians have been greatly in
terested in the appointment of the Elec-
ton Commission. Mayor Sutro has de-
clared that his personal interest in the
appointments went only so far as to insure
the choice of good men. The politicians,
however, have not been able to move the
executive OF the municipality to any
great extent.
81 will appoint the Election Commits
sloners on Monday at noon," said Mr.. SUI
tro last night.
That was all he would say. To every
other question he would reply: Il don t
like to speak of that now.''
rms was his answer to the question as to
who he was going to appoint. He answered
the same way when asked whether it was
true that certain influences had been
brought to bear against Mr.. Phelan.
Though Mr.. Sutro was evasive, some of
those close to him were not.
1t is said that Mr.. Sutro has decided
definitely upon the personnel of the Com
mission. The men whom report has slated
for the places are: Messrs. Denman and
Phelan, Democrats, and Messrs Castle and
Foster, Republicans.
This announcement will cause consid-
cradle disappointment in certain quarters
jeremiah Lynch, Gavin McNab, Clitus
Barker and other reformers were being
urged. The places, however, are apparently
not for them.
The only active opposition to any candi-
James d. Phelan. A number of gentle
men claim that Mayor Sutro has let them
know that Mr.. Phelan's appointment was
decided upon In spite of the opposition.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, June 25.-The East
Santa Cruz Street Railroad Company is to
discard the old out-of-date horsecars which
have been doing good service on the road
ever since its completion. AT the terminal
points turntables are being built, and on
Front street survey has been made and
the track will be moved ten feet west. New
ties and rails will also be used on this
street.
The new steam motor, the William Ely,
which is to take the place of the horse
cars, arrived to-day from the Baldwin
Locomotive Works at Philadelphia. This is
a grand improvement on car service as the
route of travel is very important one,
and when the mode of locomotion is ready
it will be great convenience to the people
residing in East Santa Cruz. The road
extends from the lower PLACE 10 Arena
Gulch, which is a mile and a half from
town.
The Catholic cemetery and schuetzen
Park Is IN close proximity to this terminal
point. 1t also extends in another direc-
ton, the line passing the suburbs of East
cliff and Seabright. terminating at Twin
Lakes, a summer resort on Monterey Bay
controlled by the State association of Bap-
fist churches of Northern and Central Cal
ifornia where there are numerous cot
tages, a hotel, beautiful chapel, bath
houses, etc. 1t is also near Santa
Maria del Mar, where the Catholic Ladies'
Society has resort, and where the beau
tiful Hotel del Mar is located.
This service, with the fine electrician
system, gives Santa Cruz people the best
facilities for travelling around the city and
suburbs.

though the Governor has not yet been
consulted regarding freight rates on
crushed rock, the members OF the Bureau
of Highways say they are certain they will
be approved and that the establishment oil
rock crushing plants will take place as soon
as arrangements can be made.
These rates, which the members of the
board refuse to make public out OF
courtesy to the Governor are said by all to
be lower than they had any reason to ex-
pect. The honor of having procured these
figures is largely attributed to General
Ray Stone, who personally saw G. P.
Huntington in regard to the matter
The board has about decided that as soon
as operations are commenced to divide the
State into three large road districts, under
the supervision of different members.
Marsden Manson will probably have the
northern district, Irvine the central and
Maude the southern.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, June 25.-Lulu
Writ, who, after attempting suicide several
weeks ago by shooting. herself with pis-
tol, escaped from the County Hospital and
wandered for two weeks in the thickets
and ravines of Ell Dorado-C County before
she was captured and returned to the keep
ing of her mother, has again escaped.
Mrs. Writ brought Lulu to Sacramento
to-day, and purchased two tickets for
Salem, Or, intending to place her in the
asylum in that city. Having accepted a
position in Salem she desired to have her
daughter near her. AS she went up the
steps of the sleeping-car at the depot
tonight Lulu, who was following her
mother, sprang from the platform of the
car and ran rapidly in the direction of the
railroad shops, disappearing in the dark
ness among the huge piles of iron and the
dilapidated ears that fill the sidings.
Mrs. Writ is distracted at the loss of her
daughter, and fears greatly that should
the searchers pursue the girl too closely
she will spring into the river and end
her life. She says Lulu portrays mortal
fear at the approach of stranger
or any number of persons, and will
attempt any method of escaping.
The entire force of Southern Pacific yard
men has been notified of the girls escape
and is engaged in searching the yards for
her, but as she is robed entirely in black,
and will run from a light, there is but
little probability that she will be captured
tonight. Her mother has concluded that
it will not be best to make further at
