Must not Fight in Florida.

Since the Florida Legislature
assembled three weeks ago,
measures have been introduced
into both houses which not only
prohibit prize fighting, but also
sparring matches and boxing
contests with or without gloves.
There is an overwhelming sent1-
me.t in favor of some kind of a
prohibitory bill
The only opponents are the
saloon keepers and hotel men at
jacksonville. People living out
side Of Jacksonville claim that
the State is disgraced, and that
their property is injured in value,
and Northern visitors are deterr-
ed from coming to the State.
One bill introduced Ill the
Senate lies on the table subject
to call, while another introduced
in the House has been favorably
received and is now OH its third
reading. 1t may pass any day
and will surely go through the
Senate.
Governor Mitchell will s1gr
the measure when it reaches
him. The provisions of the
House bill are stringent, and Il
will be impossible to have the
big fight i'll that State II 1t l.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, June Is. -
Santa Barbara Countys mining interests
are looking up. To-day party of scien-
lists, consisting of DR.. Lorenzo G. Yates,
John Spence and Robert Fulton, returned
from ten days trip to the San Rafael
Mountain Range, bringing fine specimens
of gold and silver bearing quartz, with an
unknown mineral presenting the appear
ance of brilliant red crystal. DR.. Yates
found many new and rare specimens of
fossils, together with plants new to this
locality. The party found two specimens
of grass unknown to experienced botan-
lists.
San Rafael Range, extending through
the center of Santa Barbara County, is a
great haunt for wild game, and one of the
strongholds of the grizzly bear, several of
which are killed there every season. There
are traditions of fabulously rich gold mines
formerly worked there, and the mineral
resources of the range are practically un-
explored and unknown.

turns in a Presidential election were being
received.
Miss Jennie Ward, who is to be the God
dess of Liberty, according to the result of
the contest just ended, is native of
Visalia. and beautiful aud accomplished
young lady. Since the contest for Goddess
of Liberty began she has been in the lead
with the exception of two days, when the
friends of Miss Stevens placed that lady
in the lead. Miss Ward is general favor
lite, and the local military company is de-
lighted that she should be selected.
Her father is on Colonel humans staff
of the Sixth Regiment, and is an enthusi-
astic National Guardsman. The reason
why Company E was so enthusiastic in it's
support of Miss Ward was that she as
sisted very materially IN concert recently
given for the benefit of the company fund.
She will grace the place for which she has
been selected.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, June I5.-The
most disastrous confagration that has

here to-day at IL o'clock. Fire broke out
at the large tannery of Hargren & Ander-
son. 1t started in the second story of the
main building and before the workmen
had time to realize their danger the build
ing was enveloped in flames.
The Fire Department responded
promptly, but for time the Santa Rosa
Brewery adjoining was in great danger of
catching fire. The only thing that saved
it was the dying out of the breeze.
The tannery was packed from roof to
cellar with hides and leather which the
firm had been storing during the time of
cheap prices for rise in the market.
They were preparing to sell the stock
when the flames consumed it. The firm
estimates its loss at $4,000, with $1,000 in
SuraQce.

JOSE VALDEZ IN PERIL.
Pursued by Vigilantes, who
Will Shoot Him on
Sight.
THEY WILL NOT PAY TRIBUTE.
An Armed Force Sent to Ouell the
Uprising on the Lower
Peninsula.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, June 15.--Jose Val
DEE of Sonora is in the middle of the
peninsula of Lower California, Gagged like
a rat in trap, and 200 miners are trying
to get chance to kill him. The seat of
the trouble is the Los Tules camp, and the
row was caused by Valdez secretly obtain
ing, by fraud, it is claimed, concession
to the entire district, throwing all miners
out or making them pay tribute to him.
Los Tules was discovered about two years
ago, and, in spite of the fact that no rain
has fallen there for three years, consider
able gold is being taken out by the miners
who hocked in from Rosario, San Juan,
Aqua Dulce, Calmalli and Alamo. At
first claims were staked out according to
law, and mining agent was sent there to
keep matters straight, but since the arrival
of Valdez, some weeks ago, affairs have
changed.
Valdez has some money and employed a
number of men. Recently he made trip
to Ens-nada on the pretense OF selling
gold and obtaining supplies, and while
there, either by oonnivance with NJ. Cabal-
lero, mining agent for Lower California, or
through the gross ignorance of that Off
cial Valdez secured a concession of the
entire district of Los Tules, giving him alb
solute control of the placer claims for five
years on payment of a royalty to the Gov
eminent.
When Valdez returned to camp and at
tempted to collect the royalty from the
miners or eject them the trouble began.
An indignation meeting was held, and it
resulted in a mob that visited Valdez
camp but did hot get him. That night
another attempt was made to lynch him,
but he was too cunning and was hiding in
the mountains in company with eight
rurales, to whom he appealed for protec-
ton. The miners organized sort of vigil
lance committee, and at last accounts were
on Valdez trail, with the intention of
shooting him on sight.
Valdez dispatched a rurale to San Quin-
tin with news of the situation, and the
authorities at Ensenada sent help. The
miners also sent man, Refugio Padilla,
TO appeal TO Governor Sangines. Padilla
was instructed to telegraph the facts to
President DiaZ and ask for an investigation
in case no relief was afforded at Ensenada.
1t is believed at Los Tules that Valdez
secured the cooperation of Mining Agent
Caballero to work the scheme, and the
miners say they will never consent to being
cheated out of their property. Valdez is
in very dangerous situation, and it is
feared he will be killed before an armed
force arrives from Ensenada.
