LULU WRIT Is AGAIN A WANDERER.
She Made Her Escape From Her
Mother Last Night.
Instead of Entering Railroad Coach
for Portland, She Escaped
in the Dark.

Mrs. Writ, mother of Lulu Writ, the
insane girl who had wandered for nearly
two weeks in the hills of Eel Dorado, came
down from Clarksvlle on Monday for the
purpose of taking her daughter to Port
land, in the hope that by careful treat
ment and change of scene she might be
restored to health.
They were to have gone on last nights
Portland express. and tickets were pur-
chased for that purpose. The girl was
taken to the depot shortly after 10 o'clock.
The plan was to have her mother pre-
cede her into coach that was waiting for
Francisco, while man-said to be rela-
tive-followed to soc that she did not get
away.
Mrs. Writ walked into the coach. sup
posing her daughter was behind her, but
the girl, instead of entering the coach,
made dash up the track, and in an in
slant was lost to sight among the shop
buildings.
The alarm was given and policemen
and others set out to look for her, but I'D
10 l O'Clock this morning they had not
found her.
The probability is that the girl got
over the levee and into the thick brush in
the old bed of the American River,
though she may have kept straight on
up the railroad toward Brighton or hid
among the piles of iron and lumb in
the railroad yards.
If she crossed the levee there is danger
that she may have fallen into one OF the
many water-holes in the brush. She is of
medium size, with dark hair, and was
dressed in black.

Substantial Reductions in Nearly Every
Glass of Merchandise.
SAN FRANCISCO, June "a joint
freight tariff to cover the Southern Pa
cific Company's Pacific system, in con-
nection with the Utah Central. Denver,
Rio Grande and Western and Central
Pacific, was issued yesterday from the
freight department of the Southern Pa
cific in this city. 1t will go into effect
Tomorrow, June Goth.
The most important feature of the new
schedule for 1reights is that in nearly
every class of merchandise quite a SUBJ
stantial reduction has been made. The
amended tariff cancels rates made in
California schedules Nos. II, 19 and 20,
which have been in force for some time
past, and it is intended for freights be-
tween stations on Southern Pacific lines
and stations in Utah on the Union Pa
citic, Denver, Rio Grande and Western
and Utah Central.
The principal changes are made on car
load lots. Household goods have been
reduced from - to 65 cents per 100
pounds, iron and steel from 81 to 20
cents, hOrseshoes from 81 o. to Is cents,
nails from SD to 70 cents, pipe and
couplings from 921 TO IS cents, liquors,
including wines in wood, from 81 81 to
81 10; in less than carload lots, from 81 "a
to 81 I5 and glass to 81 10. In carloads
marble, undressed or polished, is re-
duced to 90 cents, petroleum to 80 cents,
Manila paper roofing, paper and pulp
from $40 to 500, powder and high ox-
plosives from S2l4 to $40, tin plate from
81 07 to 90 cents, twine for harvesters
from 81 to 10 cents and cordage rope
from 81 30 to 81 10.
There has also been quite a reduction
on freight shipped in small quantities,
but the difference is not great between
the old and new tariffs.

mond, a Tacoma mining man, well

the couple were duly married. Later
Almond found out that he was the
woman's fourth husband and that the
other three were living, one in Scotland,
one IN British Columbia. while The
whereabouts of the third was unknown.
Almond applied for and got divorce
and went TO Montana. Last April he re-
ceIved dispatch from his muCh-married
wife stating that son had been born TO
him. He returned TO Tacoma to embrace
his son and see that he was properly
cared for. Since then, however, AllmOud
says he has come into possession of evl-
dence to show that the woman has been
endeavoring to involve his estate. be
also says the child is not his, and that the
infant was the child of domestic living

REDDING, June 25.-Great excitement
prevails in mining circles in this city to-
day. An alleged gold-bearing belt has
Just been discovered sixty miles north
east of here. The belt, so far as pros
pected shows width of 500 feet. and
crops out boldly to length of 1900 feet.
The ore is dead black quartz. heavily i'm
pregnated with iron and showing trace
of copper, and is absolutely free milling.
Samples have been assayed by the nlted
States Mint and the Murray Brothers,
assayers of this city. which gave an aver
age value per ton of $50 in gold and 80 IN
silver.
The lode is situated near Pitt River.
and lies between series Of metamorphlc
and ignous rock formations. Local geoI-
ogists are confident that it is an Outcrop-
ping OF the great mother lode Of the State.
Old prospectors claim it 10 be the Lost
Cabin" lode.
In the early "6Us," just before the
Modoc Indian war. prospector found q
rich vein of ore on kOrk Creek. lie
built a cabin and commenced prospect
ing for the ledge which threw 1t oil. 1hIs
he succeeded in finding, and within lew
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 q lack OF confidence among
the oId-time mining men, and he re-
turned TO his find without success. Soon
after the Modoc war broke out, and he
was killed by the Indians and his cabin
burned.
At intervals ever since prospectors
have been looking for the mine, their
only cIew being the old prospector's
cabin. Unable TO find the latter, it natu-
rally acquired the name of the Lost
Cabin" mine. AS quartz mining devel-
oped in the county q new interest was
taken in the old story, and year after
year prospectors headed that way. This
spring William Murray, with the assist
ance of an old prospector named Ander-
son, found the remains of the old cabin,
and thereafter found the lode. The ore
that the former brought on excited the
interest of prominent men and com
pany was formed TO test the lode thor
oughly. A party sent out by the COM
pany, including the discoverers, re-
turned to-day from the mine with rich
sample of the face of the lode, which Is
500 feet wide and 400 feet high, where 1t
is cut by kork Creek.
The affair created great excitement,
and prespectors of ali degrees are hurry
