SAN DIEGO

SAN DIEGO, May 26.-(Regular Corre-
spondence.) James Dieterick arrived here
last night from the Colorado desert and
brings the news of the proboble death of
his companion prospector, James B. Kerr,
and an Arizona miner named Anderson.
Deiterick and Kerr were grub-staked over
year ago by City Treasurer B. ]. Dowell,
and soon after reaching the desert they
met with Anderson and the three have re-
manned together ever since. Last Thurs
day they broke camp about thirty-five
miles south of the Southern Pacific rail-
road and just at the end of the desert
The following day they came to a deep
canyon and Kerr and Anderson left with
the pack mules to go around, while Diet
erick crossed the gulch. This was the last
that Dieterick saw of his two compan-
ions, and he believes that they have wan
dered off into the desert and their bodies
are now bleaching on the burning sands
Dieterick narrates a terrible tale of his
own sufferings, and was without food or
water from Friday morning until Monday
night, when he reached Julian. Kerr had
been in the real estate business here for
years. and was about 40 years of age. Die
terick is still very weak from the effects
of his fatigue and fasting, and when suf-

SANTA ANA

SANTA ANA, May 26.A(Regular Corre-
spondence) Almost every day some con-
fusing feature is added to the already in
terminable muddle in which the county
has become involved over the new jail
and 1t seems probable that much litigation
will be required to remove the building
from its obscurity under load of law
suits. The latest phase in the proceedings
against the supervisors presented itself
today in the shape of a writ of mandamus
issued in the action brought by the Hall
Safe and Lock works. According to this
writ the supervisors will be compelled to
either allow or reject the plaintiffs de-
rnand for $40S7, presented on March 18th
last. or to give notice to the claimants that
the bill is not properly itemized. In the
latter case reasonable time will be allowed
for itemizing and reverifying the BILL after
which 1t must be passed or rejected. All
of the creditors were not represented in
this suit. but the courts judgment will
establish a precedent of which other
claimants will take advantage. and the
total sum of unpaid claims amounting to
about $7700. will of course be disposed in
the same way. AS this total balance. ad-
mitted to be due under the contract is
about $1,000 short of the amount necessary
to satisfy all creditors. someone is going
to be left. and on this point hinges an
important question. The county expended
about $l3OO in completing TIE fa'l retsr
Hulteen & Bergstrom abandoned their
contract. and the question has also arisen
as to whether the supervisors were legally
justified In deducting this sum from the
contract price. At any rate Hulteen .2
Bergstrom think they have claim on the
money. and their attorney, R. Y. Williams
will endeavor to collect it. The contractors
also claim $1,000 damages.
Another suit pending over the jsil mat
ter is that brought by the supervisors
against the ]. NJ Griffith company. This
action was brought for the purpose Of
settling the liability for all indebtedness
by paying into court the balance due un-
der the contract and compelling creditors
to interlitigate for the amounts due them

COAL MINERS STRIKE
THE STOCK GETTING Low.
Some Operators Ready to Give Up-wcst
Virginians worltipE-The Arbit ration
boards Preparing to Mediate.

Pittsburg, July 11.-To-day marks
the beginning of the second week of
the coal miners strike, and already II
gives promise of being one of the
greatest wage struggles in the history
of the country. Eight days ago the
coal operators in this district and the
miners themselves little dreamed that
within one short week such an era of
general suspension could be wrought
us now exists in the bltumlnous mining
industry.
Tie success that has attended the
movement has greatly elated the min
ers and during the next few days ev-
cry effort will be made to bring out the
men in the few mines that are still
working. This Will be difficult task,
but they express confidence in their
ability to make the suspension COM
plete before the week is forty-eight
hours old.
From the best information obtain
able, the Pittsburg operators are in no
hurry to have the difficulty adjusted,
so many of them have had stocks on
railroad sidings which they held for an
advance. Much of this was disposed
of Saturday. A prominent operator said
tp'hus tiut Nphid hhotiti NtNh
to determina the exact state of the
market, and by that time general
cleaning mp will have taken place. All
interested will be ready TO begin busi-
ness on n new basis and probably n
much higher price.
"This whole thing will result in n
compromise" said another. 'Thcsc
operators are in a position to stand it
finn and I hnIipvn fhn min
ers are in about the same condition. 1t
looks as If business would brighten up,
and in that event the operators will be
able to get prices, and the condition of
business and the condition of the min
er will be simultaneously improved"
Just now the greatest obstacle in the
way of success of the miners is the
activity of the diggers in the West Vir-
ginia fields. They are working night
and day and are getting ready TO sup
ply all the coal that is needed. They
are repeating what they did three
years ago when n general Suspension
was declared.
1t is known that some of the miners
would be glad to see the operators who
will pay the siNty-ninc-cent rate oper-
ate their mines, but cannot owing to
the determination of the national off
GERS, who desire to have all the surplus
coal taken from the market.

day We're the arrival of the Ohio and
Indiana State Boards of Arbitration,

Dor League of Western Pennsylvania,

on foot TO import new men 10 take the
