LONDON, Eng, Jan. 4.-The CORE

that terrible massacre has taken place
at Biridjik near Aintab, in Asia Minor.
The official report of the occurrence states
that 900 people were killed.
CONSTANTINOPLE, TURKEY, Jan. A.
1T Is believed here that the massacre at

FRESN0'S FRUIT FAIR.
Hundreds of Visitors Admire the Array OF
Luscious Products of Sunny

FRESNO, CAL, Jan. flight hundred
people viewed the citrus fair this after
noon, and during the evening the atten-
dance was even larger. The display is
much more effective under the electric
lights than in the daytime, and besides in
the evening an excellent musical and
literary programme was rendered. The
managers OF the fair have decided to keen
it open until Tuesday night. 1t will he
open tomorrow afternoon, and in the
evening a sacred band concert will be
given.
All exhibits will be passed upon Mon
day afternoon, and the diplomas will be
awarded by committee consisting of r.
H. Mcdonald of Porterville, l. H. Thomas
of Visalia and Superintendent Wyer of
this city.
Those who have smiled incredulously at
the representations that have been made
by the citizens of Fresno County concern
ing its adaptabilitles for the growing of
citrus fruit have only to visit Armory Hall
and be surprised and convinced. 1t was
wise in the management to exclude out
siders in the display, as it shuts off anv
controversy that could arise in regard to
the products of Fresno County. Every
sample of fruit on exhibition is the result
of local cultivation and product of Fres
no County. The citizens of the county

ment over the railroad com pany's delay
In cooperating, and while there are many
people and plenty of fun in town the car
nival is practically postponed until early
next week. Truckee is so situated that it
can do nothing without the railroad, and
the railroad managers have studied their
own convenience IN taking advantage of
the transportation opportunities that have
been afforded by the enterprise of the
Truckee men. The railroad may make as
much money one time as another oat of
the carnival, but a delay of week or ten
days, when everything is ready, means a
loss to Truckee.
The mountain town, half buried in
foot OF Sierra snow, aroused itself this
morning before the sun shone over the
eastern peaks and the Ice Kings palace
became the central object OF interest. But
there were no excursionists to come, and
the strangers already here scattered about
in pursuit OF the natural winter amuse-
ments OF Truckee-sleigh riding to Bonner
Lake, skating on the ponds about town
and sliding on the hill that leads down
from the rocking stone at McGlashan's
tower. Tobogganing was the only feature
at the ice palace, for the carnival skaters
were sent to Henry's Pond, an eighth of
mile away, to permit the company to make
some improv ements in the rink
There were some exciting scenes at the
toboggan slide. A local business man
James Goggins-concluded to stop at the
middle point of the descent, so he reached
out and grabbed a post at one side. He
says that he will never do that "some

only Truckee man could have survived

and it took three natives to dig them out
of snowbank.
The longest possible slide from the ton
of the chute is an eighth of mile. no
two miles, as has been stated in some of
the papers.
There was no music at the palace TODAY.
The electrical display promised for this
evening was deferred until tomorrow
night, and the opening pyrotechnical show
is reserved for the arrival of the first LARGE
excursion party. A beautiful scene to-
night is the illumination of McGlashan's
tower and the torchlight marking of the
roadway, down which the young people
are coastlng from the tower to the railroad
line. The toboggan-slide is also illumi-
mated, and the shouts of the happy out

received serious setback to-day by a
cave-in in the Anna Lee mine at Victor,
belonging to the Portland company.
The latest reports place the number of
men who are buried under thousands OF
tons OF rock at ten.
The Anna Lee mine is located near the
summit Of Battle Mountain and is one of
the finest equipped mines in the State.
Its working shaft, which is down 900 feet,
IS the deepest in the camp. The shaft is a
double compartment one and vertical,
from which levels are driven every fifty
feet TO cut the immense ore chimney
hich lies some distance from the shaft
and has an incline OF about seven degrees.
Ten men, including General Manager
John Harnan and Assistant Superintend-
ent Sheldon, were caught in the cave-in.
and at this time there does not seem to be
the remotest possibility that any have
escaped. We'l-posted miners say that it
viii be miracle if any are taken out alive.
The excitement at Victor is intense and
large crowds Of friends and relatives of the
imprisoned men have surrounded the shaft
house all day, hoping against hope.
The accident occurred at $50 this morn
ing. President James Burns of Colorado
Springs had been down in the mine on
tour of inspection and had Just been
hoisted to the surface, when Assistant Su.
perintendent Sheldon, accompanied by g
miner, entered the cage and were being
lowered. They had descended about $50
feet when the engineer in charge of the
hosting machinery received a signal to
draw up the cage rapidly.
The signal came too late; the great masses
OF rock had begun to settle, crushing the
cage and its occupants. Eight men were
working in the bottom of the shaft driving
a level toward the ore chimney, and these
must also have been crushed to death.
Rescue gangs were Immediately put to
work from three different directions, and
wherever miner can be used to advantage
he is put TO work. One party Of rescuers
are driving a drift from the third level of
the Scranton mine, and at 8 P. NJ. it was
estimated they we're still fifteen feet from
the point in the Anna Lee shaft, where
the cage was supposed 10 have been caught
by the cave in.
The upper workings of the Anna Lee
mine are admitted by the Portland officials
to nave been in very dangerous con-
dition, but the company had already
taken steps 10 strengthen the supports.
The unsafe condition of the mine was
caused by its former owners cutting the
entire ore chute, leaving the chambers so
large that 1t was almost impossible 10 tim
Der them properly.
The names of the imprisoned men, az
Iar as learned, are: General Manager John
darnan, Assistant Superintendent Shell
oeh and George Harnan, a nephew of Gen.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-01-05

eral Manager Harnan, w. e. Lane, fore
man, James Hancock, Patrick May Joe
Dunsmore, Frank McQuirk and Jack
Matoy.
The rescue gang which has been driving
the Scranton level to reach the Anna Lee
shaft cut that shaft at IL 80 tonight, but
did not find the cage and men. which is
now believed to be higher up in the shaft.
The Anna Lee shaft is filled with rock.
Surface indications tonight are that cave
ms are still taking place in the vacant ore
chambers, and this skaters the last hope
that was had that some of the men might
be still alive and rescued.
The Portland Gold Mining Company is
an Iowa corporation and its principal office
is at Council Bluffs.

covered with skaters.
This afternoon the weather was so mild
that there seemed to be danger of a thaw,
as though the Ice King had become dis
pleased with the ilroad delay and had
resolved to undo his fantastic work But
not an icicle fell, and the Truckee people
expect that the framework of the palace

When the First National Bank of this city
stra AIDED there was supposed to have been
within its vaults $4,000 of the county
money, and on the Treasurer's books it
has been counted as so much money, when
in reality there was no money there to the
county's credit. During the time the bank
has been in the hands of receiver County
Treasurer Reeves has been paid between
$4,000 and $4,000, but this is considered too
little and the county demands that the
balance be placed in the county's vaults at
once so as to balance the Treasurer's books.
Where this money is to come from is

these impurities. That most dreadful of
all diseases, consumption, is a disease of
the blood The disease shows in the lungs
because of some inherited or acquired weak
ness there. If the blood were always pure
and without germs, the disease would never
develop and in time weakness itself would
be overcome. Germs and impurities in the
blood float along through the body until
they find weak spot for Judgement They
stick there and develop and people call the
disease by the name of the organ afflicted
AS matter of fact, the disease is always a
disease of the blood and if the blood be
purified, the disease will be cured. That is
perfectly natural, rational conclusion en-
