ELOPED FROM FRESNO.
Carl Myers and Seventeen Year Old
EMs Kc6ie Probably Welded
at Sea-

FRESNO, CAL, May 39.-Carl Myers
eloped from Fresno on Friday night with
Miss Effie Noble, who is but II years of
age. They purchased tickets for Monterey :,
intending to escape the age Limitation of
the law In regard to the bride by going
upon tho high seas to have the ceremony
performed. No news has been received
of the runaway couple since they left. In
Fresno there is a wrathy father, whose
name is Noble also.
"Pll kill Myers if he ever sets foot in
Fresno again." declares the aged gentle
man.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Noble were against
the match, but their reasons are not
known. Myers has been q widower but
four months, and his deceased wife was q
sister of the girl who has eIoped with
him. He has TWO Children, who are still
here. 1t seems that Myers never did en-.
Joy. the strong friendship of his parents
in-law, and when he began paying atteI-
tions to their second daughter they an
nounced to her in highly positive terms
that she would not be permitted to marry
him.
The departure of the clipping couple was
accomplished without any difficulty. Miss
Noble easily slipped out of her home, and
ner lover was near at band TO receive her.
Three friends assisted them in making the
arrangements. 1t was not until the next
morning that Mr.. and Mrs. Noble dis
covered the absence of their daughter and
one of the three frien1s then took it upon
himself to inform them that she had
eloped with Myers. The old man broke
into terrible rage.
Myers is in the employ of the Standard
Oil Company, and those who know him
speak highly of his character. He is 26
wears of age.

K0B0S MVADE TACOMA.
Driven From Montana by YgHantes, They
Are Working Their Way to
California.

TACOMA, WASH, May 30.-The local
police force has its hands full gathering
in the hobos and rough characters who
are swarming into the city. Twenty
three have been placed in the city jail
since Friday having been arrested as soon
as they arrived at the Northern Pacific
depot. They are part of detach ment of
800 or more who were recently rounded up
and driven out of Butte, Mont, by a
vigilance committee composed of exas-
perated citizens who did not propose 10
tolerate their presence any longer.
They commenced working their way
westward along the Northern Pacific. In
Spokane the police gave them so many
hours in which 10 get out of town. Train
men report that the entire gang is scat
tered along the line, working its way in
squads and bent on reaching California.
The Tacoma Jail is a ramshackle struct-
ure, inca pable of accommodating more
guests. and the police will adopt the Spo-
kane expedient and start the hobos to-
wari the sunny fields OF California.
They are rough-looking gang. While
woman from the Gospel Mission this aft
ernoon was singing to them the SOM,
"Wnere Is MY Wandering Boy To-Night?"
one of the culprits stole her purse, con.
tanning small sum of money.

RAHDSBURG'S RICH LEDcES.
Minis Owners Find That the Ore Veins
Extend Far into the Bowels
of fHe Earth

RANDSBURG, CAL, May 3O.-This
camp is proving itself remarkable one,
both in the richness of the ore found here
and in the number OF good paying mines.
Without exception the mines have paid
from the grass roots down and have been
developed by men without means and
(some of them) without experience in
mining. Twenty-Five or thirty claims are
producing good paying rock in quantities
to satisfy the most avarlc1ous.
Heretofore the question has been. Do
the veins go down to any depth or are
they but pockets? The uncertainty has
deferred many from delving far from the
surface The owners of the Wedge mine,
feeling certain that the vein on their
claim went down to depth sufficient to
make OF it mine in every sense of the
word, concl Ided to remove all uncer-
tainty. They have sunk to depth of 315
feet ana found the vein at that depth as
good as it was at the top. They took ont
rock that paid over 5000 to the ton. The
rock at this depth was of the same char
acter as that the Kinyons took from the
1856 level of their Good Hope mine. The
Wedge and the Good Hope are the best
prod ucers in the camp. So encouraged
are the owners of the Wedge over their
success that they will continue TO sink
until they reach the 500 level.
In the adjoining claim on the east
the Butte, lately purchased by Montana
capi.alists-a shaft is at present down 225
feet, and it will be sunk lower. The own
ers of the c group. Cripple Greek min
ing capitalists, are sinking double COM
partment shaft in the ] l c mine and are
down to depth of $50 feet. This is the
only double compartment shaft in the
camp.
Over the hill from these mines is the
King Solomon group. At present they
are down to depth of 200 feet. and their
owners have shipped in the necessary
machinery to 60 down 600 feet.
The latest new find is that of the Ala
media mine, in which there is rock that
assays into six figures.
The Petaluma mine, five and half
miles west from Randsburg, is now show
ing q seven-foot ledge between well-de-
fined walls and the ore is rich in free gold
The Rand group has resumed operations
and is shipping ore every day to the mills.

PACIFIC GROVE MEETING ENDS.
Delegates to tie Students Conference
Conclude Very Profitable
Session.

PACIFIC GROVE, CAL. May 30.-The
exercises of to-day have been OF particular
interest and importance because of its
being the last day of the Pacific Coast
students conference.
The session began with a meeting of
heads of committees and departments.
This was neld in executive session. The
platform lecture to the delegates was de-
livered at 10 clock by Rev. DR.. Mclean
of San Francisco. His subject ICONS secra-
ton" was peculiarly fitted TO the occasion,
il being the last of the series of platform
lectures. DR.. Mclean spoke of consecra-
ton in its real and superficial sense, draw
ing very sharply the distinction between
the two.
The song and prayer service OF this
meeting was under the leadership OF F. L..
Willis of Omaha. Committee meetings
closed the mornings session.
The last of the iife-wotk conferences,
held this afternoon. was addressed by
Rev. DR.. Mclean. His theme was 1.-The
Claims of the Ministry Upon Young
Men," and in the course of his talk he
showed the need of men educationally,
intellectually. personally and spiritually
qualified for the calling.
ener gave resume OF the work done by
this conference and an outline OF the plans
for the conference next year.
The farewell service a. 8:15 O. clock was
held in the main auditorium of the Meth
odlst Episcopal Church and was presided
over by Robert e. Lewis. 1t began with a
duet by Messrs. Willis and Brink. c. G.
Michener talked briefly about the iufu-
ence which college men were exerting il
America in the various professions they
enter upon leaving college. lie also spoke
of the future OF the Young Mems Chris
tian Association work, and the promin ent
American business men who were giving
money and ancoura cement to it. The
service clo'sS with prayer by Rev. Guy
W.. Smith.
The delegates will leave on the morning
train tomorrow. The leaders of the con-
vention feel that great amount of good
has been done in the ten days at Pacific
Grove.

STOCKTON, CAL, May 80 = Three
Stockton youths were arrested tonight by
Constables Hersom aud Howe on q charge
of highway robbery. Their names are
Held, Mowry ana Waite. and they are
sons of respectable parents. This morn
ing they took bucLboard belonging to
the father of Held and drove to Roberts
Island. On their way back to town they
came across a Chinese named Fong Ch ow,
who was going to Stockton with load of
vegetables. They claim that they merely
had some words with the Mongol because
he would not get cut of their way, but the
Chinese says that they assaulted and
robbed him of what money he had.
After the boys passed Fong Chow in
their buckboa rd Mr.. Hassler of this city
drove up and ths Chinese told him that
The youths had robbed him. Hasser
whipped up his horse and gave chase, but
the boys whipped their horse into a run
and kept up the pace into town. They
managed to elude Hassler, but were after
ward located by Detective Marshall, who
brought them 70 the police office and
turned them over to the Constabes. The
boys were in hiding when Marshall got
them and had taken the top off the buck
board.
Atthe police station they denied that
they had lobbed the Chinese, claiming

RANDSBURG, CAL. May 30-The un-

are wanted. Several attempts have been
made to bring them out, but the people
showed that they would not tolerate the
coolies. Two japanese passed through on
this afternoons stage, and are booked for

There are mutterings among the miners,
and the Japanese may be escorted out of
