STRUCK 1T JUST AWFUL RICH
Captain Barrett and Ex-Governor Camp
bell Are MilIionaires
They Haven't Got the 7oney Yet, But Ancient
Indian Legends Are Always
True as Gospel

CHICAGO, Dec. 3l.-A dispatch from CO.
lumbus, Ohio, says: From reliable sources
it has been ascertained here that ex-Goy-
ernor Campbell has recently struck it rich
in California gold mines. The informa-
ton, as it comes from Captain Frank Bar
rett, formerly of Lancaster, and now To-
Gated in the San Joaquin valley in Califor-
mia, is very interesting.
Some years ago Captain Barrett conclud-
ed to leave Ohio and seek new fields in the
far west. He purchased cattle ranch
midway between San Francisco and Los
Angeles and settled there. While there he
heard the legend that has been handed
down by the Indians for half century, to
the effect that at a point in the San
Joaquin river near his ranch there
was a vast deposit of gold. The story was
that in great pool formed by a natural
dam in the San Joaquin at the valley of the
famous gold gulcn frcm which many for
tunes had been taken, there were deposits
of gold which the depth of the pool had
heretofore prevented ANYTHING like Sue
cessful working. Lack of water had pre-
vented the full working of the gulch itself
for the deposit required placer mining and
ard it was only when the spring freshets
flushed the valley that the evidences of the
gold that for years had been swept toward
the gulch was ootainable.
Captain Barrett determined to work that
p -ol, and H. returned to Ohio and organ
lied the Ohio Mining company with $500.-
600 capital and with Governor Campbell.
Allen w. Thurman and other Ohio friends
as stockholders. Governor Campbell took
one-eighth of the stock. Barrett's plan
was to build another dam at the head of
the pool, change the course of the stream,
then drain the first dam and secure its rich
deposits.
Professional divers were secured to pros
pect the pool. The result surpassed the
widest hopes. Gold was brought up t. the
value of $40 a pan. Then the construction
undertaking as it was only through the
summer drought that progress could be
made. The drainage of the pool has just
begun but it already promises to make
fortunes for all the stockholders.
When questioned about the report Gov
ernor Campbell was greatly surprised to
know that the news had leaked out. He
was not inclined TO talk much, either.
II am here,'' he said, ''in consultation
with Captain Barrett and some friends
about our speculations in California, more
particularly than about our gold
mine. All 1 can say as to the
latter is that it promises we'll
l had no idea any one knew anything
about it. We are not trying to sell stock.
There is none for sale. Whatever there
may be out there is a legitimate invest
ment aid not a stock johbery affair.""
1t is the belief here that this stroke of
will put him OH his feet again financially
in way that will make him a prominent
factor in Democratic national politics in

The Syndicate Agreement is Al
ready Arranged
SIGNATURE OF SECRETARY
Is the Only Requisite to Complete the
Contract
The Amount of the Issue viii Be $Ioo, o,ooo..
900, and the Terms Obtained are
Very Favorable

Associated Press Special Wire
WASHINGTON. Dec. 30.-There is now no
reasonable doubt that another bond issue
has been fully agreed upon, and that the
details of contract with syndicate of
which Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan is the
head, have been arranged, also that moth
ing remains to be done to carry it into eff
feet but for the secretary of the treasury
to sign his name thereto.
Thus the president is prepared for any
emergency, and there is no DOUBT that
should heavy Withdrawals of gold for ex-
port set in again, another issue would be
announced.
The fact that there have been no with
drawals for export within the last several
days, although sterling exchange has ruled
at or above the shipping point, give cred
ence to an opinion held in treasury circles
that the market has already begun to feel
the syndicate influence against exports.
The amount of the next issue has been
fixed at 500, 100000, and it is bell eyed
the terms of the contract are rather more
favorable to the government than those
under which the last issue was made. In
this connection il is recalled that between
August 81, 1868, the date upon which the
national debt reached its highest point,
anu Marcn l., 1875, the amount OF the
governments outstanding obligations were
reduced by 1881 ,365,S73 To accom-
plish this reduction bonds were purchased
to the amount cf O,S09,75O. OF this
amount 1924 ,35O.300 were purchased
prior to 1879 and $446,459, 400 since that
date.
SOME SPECULATIONS
CHICAGO, Dec. 3O.-A Washington spe.
cal to the Post says: Nothing definite has
yet been learned about the bond deal and
statements as to the amount and price the
bonds will net The government are mere
speculation.
Government per cent thirty-year bonds,
the same as will he sold this time, have
sold down during the pas ten days from
1877 to 116, a break ur We points, and it
is thought by treasury eXS erts that the syn
dictate will insist on a afe margin of not
less than per cent for handling the loan.
That would indicate a-ne- price to the gov
ernment of 100 to III. It 100 the trans
action would he on - basis of 3% per cent.
The last Issue of 81 3 ) 900 of ! per cents
sold at a frac on unde,- lU5 or on "A 33<

same bonds found market around 12I,
which realized investors ABOUT 2 $40 per

AN OLD FEUD

Results In Shooting Which, May Not Prove
Fatal
HEALDSBURG, Cal, Dec. 3O.-R. K.Truitt,
proprietor of the opera house, shot and
probably fatally wounded Hon. j. W. Rose,
leading attorney of this place, tonight.
The shooting WAS tho outcome of long
standing feud which has existed between
the Rose and Truitt families. Mr.. Rose
claimed that Trutt had insulted his daugh-
ter, and tonight the matter was brought to
a head by Rose striking Trl in the face.
Truitt pulled his pistol and shot at his assail-
ant three times, two of the shots taking ef-
feet. One bullet entered the left breast
Immediately under the heart, while the
other entered the body below the left arm
pit, passed entirely through, coming out
near the shoulder blade. just how badly
Mr.. Rose is injured cannot be learned to-
nipht.

THE CAUSE OF QUIETNEss
LONDON, Dec. 3O.-The New York cor
respondent of the Times argues that the
fact that Senator Sherman allies himself
with the president on the Venezuelan ques-
tion augurs i'll for the cessation of the con-
troversy.
Mr.. Sherman sides with President
Cleveland against all the great lawyers
and all the best authorities on this ques-
tion, both American and European, and
against Monroe himself, says the corre-
spondent He thinks that Senator Sher-
mans attitude ndica' es that the Republ-
cans are not entirely separated from Pres
identt Cleveland. He gees danger in Sher-
mans assumption that the quieter state
OF affairs grows out of the belief among
the people of the United States that Lord
Salisbury is ready to acquiesce in arbi ira
ton.

was started the fog would be dispelled.

DEMOCRACY IS FOR sOUND MONEY.
An Able Southern Newspapers View of
the situation.

Mr.. Joseph II. Acklen. of Nashville,
Tenn, formerly congressman from Lou
isiana, has figured out how the deiega-
tions in the National Democratic Con-
vention will stand on the silver qucs-
tion. We have no great respect for tile
intelligence of the hero of NOemser s,
but recognize that he is a free-silyer
man, and that when he fails 20 make out
"a majority for the silver side, no one
can come even as near TO II as he has
done.
lie begins by putting all the Southern
delegates into thr Eree-sllyer column.
This State certainly is not legiumateiy
placed in such position. The last au-
thenuc declaration We had on the sub
iect was not one in favor Of free silver,
and the free-siiver cause has been on the
decline here for months past. IN ken
lucky, tine people very recently declared
in favor of sound money. Tennessee
is surely not a silver state, nor can
Texas be claimed by the silverltes. New

ing so far as TO put Illinois, Michigan,
and Minnesota in the doubtful column,
whereas they are as surely for sound
money as is New York. Mr.. Acklen hnds
altogether but ~ delegates Tor silver
scribed as doubtful.
We will take the liberty OF transfer
ring Alabama, kentucky. and Tennessee
to the sound-money column, and illinois,
Michigan. and Minnesota from the doubt
full TO the sound-money column, ana the
result is 22 delegates for silver and az
delegates for sound money. leaving IN
diana, 80, Missouri, "a, and Texas, 30
in the doubtful column, although there
is not much doubt as 10 either one Of
these States. They are almost surely
for sound money.
1t will be noticed that all the South
ern States except three--Aiaoama, Ken
lucky and Tennessee-have been permit
ted by us TO remain in the silver column.
This is pure liberality. They Will not
