Valuable Discoveries Made by Pros

HEALDSBURG, Call, Sept. ga dis
coyery as astonishing as it is important
was made here to-day. 1t consists OF
great deposit of onyx marble, far surpass-
ing in extent and quality anything hereto
fore discovered in the United States. The
find was made by George Madeira and
Isaac Gray of this place. What Is more
singular, it was not found IN the mlocene
states common to the coast range but In
iurassic states similar to those OF the
Nevada mountains. The mountains are
older than those which bound them north
and south, the particular mountain which
contains the deposits evidently having
been an island of the Pacific in the pre-
historic age.
The samples of the beautiful stone ex-
hibited by the lucky discoveries have
created quite an excitement here. The
deposit forms great ledge or lode 800 feet
wide, and extends along the crest OF the
mountain ridge 1860 feet, when it disap.

ity and very valuable discovery, which
will materially benefit Sonoma County.
The same men, who have been for the
past tive years prospecting gold:bearing
quartz lode, have finally discovered orc
which will pay handsomely to work. The
ledge is forty feet wide, and power can be
obtained from Austin Creek, adjacent to
the mine. Their search for ores resulted
in the discovery of broad ledge of brown
hematite iron ore of vast width and some
two miles in length, which in time will be
valuable for smelling purposes.

Forn'an's Hearing on the Forgery
Charge to Come Up To-Day.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Sept. 27.-Al For
man, the ticket broker, will tomorrow
have his preliminary examination at San
Fernando before Justice of the Peace on
a charge of forgery. Mr. Forman has the
American Ticket Brokers' Association at
his back.
The defense will show that when ticket
is sold to a broker by the original pur-
chaser, the seller also conveys the author
ity to sign his name for purposes necessary
to give the ticket value. The railroad
company contends that this is not the
case, and that when the buyer of scalped
ticket signs the name of the original pur-
chaser he commits forgery.
This is what Forman did. His prosecu-
ton is test case. The brokers are conf
dent that they can beat it. The Southern
Pacific people state that they will prose-
cute every purchaser of scalped ticket
they can find wiro signs name other than
his own when called upon by the con-
ductor to write his signature The brokers
say that this is big bluff and that the
railroad company will do nothing of the
kind

Harbor View preparatory to her trial trip
about the middle of next week.
She is 70 feet long over all, has a beam
measurement of lis feet and draws three
feet of water. Two sets of triple-expansion
face condenser, with independent air, and
circulating pump constitute the ma
chinery that will furnish power to her
twin screws.
There are two cabins aid an awning
covered upper deck, all fitted with seats,
accommodating in all sixty passengers. In
the pilot-house there are four berths for
the complete crew.
About year ago the Parker Transpor-
tation Company first began operations on
the Sacramento River between Rio Vista
and the capital, whittier some OF them
made daily trips on business, there being
no other conveyance except the stage line
along the river bank or their own private
teams.
Captain Parker, the navigator for the
old company, soon persuaded the farmers
that rapid transit might be secured with
their cooperation and a stock company
was formed.
Developments soon proved, it seems,
that the directors had voted themselves
salaries of $50 month, and the farmers.
who were the only actual purchasers of
shares, protested.
The Southern Pacific people look upon
the whole affair as a case of steamboat
fever with the innocent farmers, and pre-
dict some sort of an awakening before
long; for they say there are not more
than four or five people day who travel,
and that it will cost over $2U day to run
the boat The railroad has never, they
say, thought of running opposition to the
old stage line, which gives good service,
but does not pay.

tains to look at mine, with an ak near
Rossland, B. c., yesterday: The two had
stopped over night at an old cabin on the
TRAIL when O'Connors got up, took the ak
and struck Lanktree two terrible blows,
fracturing his skull. The next day some
prospectors passing found Lanktree in a
dying condition. Word was dispatched to
Rossland, and the Sheriff, finding O'Con-
nors on the trail only little distance from
the place, arrested him and he was taken
in irons to Rossland.
Lanktree is known in this city. having
tried to pass a number of checks here
drawn on banks where he had no money.
1t is said he was rather peculiar in his
and personal actions. O'CoD-
nors has been in trouble before.

will be no bull fight at Agricultural Park
Sunday next, nor at any other place within

This is what Humane Officer Hutchlns
said, and he evidently meant it. He re-
ports that there is a State law which posi-
lively prohibits bull-fghting, and he is
going to make it his special business to
see that the law is enforced. So it is alto
gether improbable that the bulls and the
Spanish toreadors will meet.

in which the news is conveyed that Gage
has won the case, the General Land Office
deciding in his favor.
Several years ago Gage located the land

Other parties relocated the land. A con-

cided against Cages claim once, but this
decision is now reversed The land in dis
pute is worth at least $3.50 an acre, and the
decision makes Gage a rich man.
