A PiratiCaI Craft Lands a
Batch at San Juan
Capistrano.
They Are Promptly Taken In Tow
by an Officer and Held for
Deportation.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, May 6.-Contra-
band Chinese are finding new ways of en-
tering California, and the latest venture
of the smugglers was detected off San
Juan Capistrano yesterday. long. low
and piratical-looking craft hove to just
off the mainland and boat was lowered
from the davits. Into the dory were low
cred seven Chinese, and they were rowed
to the shore and landed, after which the
schooner sailed away, leaving her passen-
gere to their fate.
The Chinese were met on shore by Don
Marco Foster, Deputy United States Mar
shall, and all were arrested by him for
illegally entering the United States. The
officer would have detained the schooner
also If he could have reached her, but she
sailed off toward the north.
IL is supposed that the Chinese came
from Mexico, for their pockets were filled
with Mex can coins and there were other
evidences 20 lead to that conclusion. They
undoubtedly had no right to land thus in
the United States, and the vessel captain
who imported them evidently thought he
would be safe in landing at Capistrano,
where there was small likelihood OF there
being Federal officer.
Don Marco Foster is OBTAINING his pris-
oners at Capistrano and they will be
brought here for trial and probable depor-
tation.

RICH PLAcERS NEAR CARSON.
RaycrGH Brothers Strike the Channel
of on Old RIVER BY n.y.
drGUhckiHq.

CARSON CITY, New, May 6-The
channel of the Buckeye placers has been
reached beyond a doubt by the Raycraft
brothers. The discovery was made by
hydraulicking In the face of a small hill
which recedes from the canyon, where
operations have been going on for some
time, and the work had gone but twelve
feet when the immense bed of gravel
which com prised the old river channel
was uncovered. 1t was tested and found
to be very rich and some large nuggets
were taken out.
The exact width has not been ascer-
tanned as yet but already 100 feet have been
exposed and neither edge has been struck
Prospecting was done down to twenty-six
feet and then the miners struck a harder
stratum than the rather low hydraulic
pressure of water would penetrate.
A snaft and drift was then put IN and it
was found that the gravel continued on
down under this stratum and was even
richer than the top, while the gold was
coarser. No attempt. however, will be
made to penetrate the lower bed this
season in all probability beyond merely
prospecting it, and further exploration
OF its riches will be postponed until bet
facilities are obtained for handling it,
Besides there is plenty of pay gravel on
top.

date paid $225, 600 in dividends. The other
three mines are comparatively undevel-
oped, but what little work has been done
is said to have revealed very satisfactory
bodies OF ore.

the mines bonded for several months, and

TACOMA, WASH, May 6. - The three
little Siegenthaler children, aged 2, and
6 years, caused considerable trouble last
night. A year ago their father secured a
divorce and the custody of the children,
though they have been ever since with
their grandparents, Mr.. and Ms. An
thony Rinck, and their mother has sup
ported them.
Yesterday Siegenthaler got writ of
habeas corpus and Deputy Sheriff Davis
was sent after the children. The Rincks
made so decided a remonstrance that he
was obliged to quit the house and obtain
the assistance of Deputy Ross and Detec-
tive Concannon. When the reinforce
ments arrived the battle began in earnest.
The old grandfather and his infuriated
daughters threatened to shoot the officers
down like dogs, They retaliated by hand
cutting the family. and finally took the
aged grandfather TO Jail to cool OIL,
This morning the children's mother
pleaded with Judge Kean to allow her to
keep them. She alleges that their father
is bartender and a drunkard. and that
he has made her life miserable Tor years.
Tomorrow her attorney viii make a
formal request of the same kind, the court
taking no action to-day. Last month the
mother was married 10 Mr.. Dudley, a
recent arrival from San Francisco, and
has moved with him 10 Seattle. She was
much affected to-day at the thought of
losing control OF her children.

MARIN GHOSTS KALK NIGHTLY.
Argos /pparitIon IN the County jail IS
Joined BY That of a Celestial Who
Hanged Himself

SAN RAFAEL. CAL, May 6.-There are
few who will now doubt the truth of the
stories pu blisned about the ghost which
haunts the County Jail in tho basemen t
OF Marin County's Courthouse. Last night
it made its appearance to Chinaman
named Wing Hi and almost scared the
unfortunate fellow to death. When seen
to-day he told the same story that has
come from the lips OF other unfortunaies
who have been confined in the haunted
chamber. At various times 1t has been
said that the ghost of q Chinaman had
been seen by prisoners, and it was this
apparition that made its presence known
to poor Wing Hi during the small hours
of this morning.
Al the Sher II S office it was learned that
in one of the tanks IN the cell where the
Monaghan was confined Chinaman had
committed suicide. Like Argo, whose
ghost also haunts the prison, the China
man com mitted an act of seifdestruction
by making a moose OF his long queue,
placing it about his neck, attaching tho
other end to the opening in the top of the
tank and lifting his feet from the ground
thus allowing himself to slowly strangle
to death.
Annie Kehoe, who saw the ghost of
Argo last month, also said that q China
