in Pullman.
What People are Doing and how
They are Doing it.

They are Doing it.
Archie White has decided up
on a location along the Northern
Pacific railway track, opposite the
n. z elevator, for bis mill This is
a most excellent site, and teams
will not beobliged to cross the track
to reach the mill. Work on the
foundation Of the mill will be COM
menced as soon as the plans and
specifications arrive from Portland,
the plans being expected daily. 1t
is also expected that w II. Lacy,
who is now in California, will be
here by August 1st to oversee the
setting Of the engines, etc. The
mill machinery is to be installed
by the manufacturers, and making
frst-class flour before it is accepted
by Mr.. White. The mill is certain
10 be credit to Pullman, as Mr..
White will have only the best.
"A couple Of weeks ago large
flock Of sheep was being held on
pasturage near Spokane prepara-
tory to shipment from that city.
Fifteen hundred of the sheep died
most mysteriously, the cause OF
their death not being apparent, The
stomach from one of the dead sheep
was sent to the agricultural college
here for chemica! examination, and
an analysis was made by Pref. Full
mer. The professor found that the
stomach contained saitpetro, that
doubtless being the cause Of death
of the entire band. Some cattle
owner probably put the saltpetro
out to get rid of the sheep, and he
certainly accomplished his purpose.

COLONEL RUHAR RESIGNS.
COMMANDER of the Sixth Regiment Rehres
From the National Guard of
California

STOCKTON, CAL, Feb. Colonel ]. J.
Nunan, who has long been at the head of
the Sixth Regiment, National Guard of
California, has resigned, and his resigna-
tion has caused much speculation as to
who his successor will be. Colonel Nunau
will be much missed by the guardsmen of
the Sixth, as be has always been an able
popular and painstaking officer. 1t is
generally believed among the guardsmen
that Lieutenant-Co Colonel Wright of Fresno
Will be chosen as humans successor. In
that event there may be contest for
Wright's place, though Major Chisholm
will probably be selected. There are
mum ber of others who would be glad to
take Wrights place, among them Captain
Graham of Merced, Captain Scribner OF
Fresno, Captain NJ. J. Byrnes of Visalia,
Captain Whitmore of Modesto and Cap.
tain Johnson of this City.
The retiring colonel of the Sixth Regi-
ment has served in the National Guard
for twenty-three years. having enlisted
on December 10, 1873, when he entered
the old Stockton Guard as private. In
January, 1876, he was. commissioned sec
ond lieutenant and three months later
was made first Lieutenant. When Com
pany B went into the National Guard
Nunan was made captain. In 1888 he was
elected lieutenant colonel and colonel of
the Sixth in 1892.

NEARING A CRISIS At SALEM
Senator Mitchell to Make q Final AttemD,
to Bring About HIS Re-
Election.

SALEM, Or, Feb. 1.-The legisla tive
deadlock is expected to reach q crisis to-
morrow. Senator Mitchell has decided to
call a joint session of his thirty supporters
in the Benson House and sixteen Senators,
declare legal quorum and ballot for
United States Senator. Failing 10 secure
certificate OF election from the Secretary
of State he will 60 to Washington and lay
his case before the Senate. The Bourne
Davis adherents assert that Mitchell
cannot rally more than eleven or twelve
members or the Upper House to his sup
port and will be unable to muster a
quorum. AS the Senate has persistently
refused to recognize either the Benson or
Davis house it is difficult to understand
how members of that body can legally sit
in joint session with a discredited assem-
bly,. Should MitchelPs followers not sue
ceed in gathering quorum the Senator
will In all probability give up the fight
and withdraw from the field A caucus of
both factions has been held every day for
nearly week and there are no signs of
break on either side.
SALT LAKE, UTAH, Feb. I.-Seven bal
lots were taken to-day in the Utah Legis-
lature, and the Senatorial deadlock is
unbroken. Thatcher, who had twenty
eight votes on Saturday last, lost two on
the first ballot, then gained one, and re-
tanned twenty-seven until the Assembly
dissolved for the day. Rawlins had 19,
Henderson ID, and three Republicans
voted for I. r. Crtchlow. The Thatcher
forces are stable, and the impression pre-
walls that their candidate will in the
course of a lew days receive thirty-two
votes, the numbe necessary to a choice !:
otherwise the choice of the LEGISLATURE
will probably fall upon dark horse.

REDWOOD ciTYS AGED BURGLAR.
Asa 8oyce. Sixt-Four Years of Age and
Physical Wreck Sentenced to
the Peni entiGry

REDWOOD CITY, CAL, Feb. 1.-Asa
o. Boyce, who was convicted here last
Wednesday of burglary, was to-day sem
fenced by Judge Buck to fifteen years in
San Quentin. This virtually means to the
prisoner a life sentence, for he is now 64
years old and physical wreck. In pass
ing sentence, the Judge said that he saw
no extenuating circumstances by reason
of which he should exercise clemency,
and, the jury recommending none, he
must impose the fun penalty. He told
the prisoner that he was a bad man and
unsafe 10 be at large, the evidence at the
trial showing that but for the Intervention
of one OF Boyce's accom- plices murder
would undou btedly have been com mitted
Boyce was to have received his sentence
on Friday last, but on that day he was so
crippled by rheumatism that he was un-
able TO travel from the Jail to the court
house.
One of his accom- plices Tam, was also
before the court this morning for sentence
he having pleaded guilty TO the same
charge. and appeared as a witness against
Boyce. Though but 20 years of age, he is
apparently as bad q man as Boyce him
SELF and the only reason that he was not
given the same sentence was because of
his youth and letters from influential peo-
Die lntercedlng on MS Denalf he was
sentenced TO five years in San Quentin.
The third, Green, appeared for sentence,
he also having pleaded guilty, aud having
made a full statement and confession to
the District Attorney the day after mis- ar
rest. The Judge deferred the passing Of
sentence on him for one week, saying that
if he had any discretion in the matter he
would order him confined in the County
Jail. He further said that he thought he
would have to send him to the State
prison, but would consider the matter.
He however promised that he would make
the punishment as light as the law would
allow. Green does not have the appear
ance or actions of hardened criminal.
The District Attorney made statement
in his behalf.
These are the men who looted the dwell
ing of old Frank Schmute in the Alpine
District. Then they gagged Schmute and
tied himto tree in his yard, where he
could see the flames destroy his house,

Rail WAY TO B0LIKHS.
MN VALLEY and Mount TamaLpms Com
pany May Soon Extend its


MILL VALLEY, CAL, Feb. l.
move of the greatest Importance to the
people OF Marin County, and especially
interesting to railroad men and civil en-
gineers, may shortly be made by the Mill
Valley and Mount Tamalpais Scenic Rail-
road Company in the extending of its road
to Bohnas, on the Marin coast The
country that must be trayersed by the
new line is mountainous and the con-
struction of the road will require en-
gineering skill of no mean quality. While
the distance from the summit of Mount
Tamalpais to the town of Bolinas, on the
Pacific Ocean, in an air line is only three
miles the route OF the road will be about
seven miles in length, on account of the
numerous loops that must be constructed
in order 10 obtain easy and gradual grades
Tor the mountain engines.
Engineers have already looked over the
route and assert that the most feasible
plan is to run the line commencing from
the extreme southwestern point now
reached by the Tama.pais Scenic road and
running in northerly direction, crossing
TO the northwestern slope of the noun :ain
and descending Tamalpais by Z per cent
grade which the engineers claim it is pos
sible to obaih, to Willow Beach, on the
Pacific Ocean, and from there skirt the
beach and proceed to Bolinas.
This route will open the vast estates
which lie between Mill Valley and Boinas
and which are now almost idle and with
ou. means of communication or transpor.
tatlon except by stage 10 San Rafael. Be-
yond this primitive method and a tedious
:tIip by schooner Bolinas has no way of
transporting its products 10 the metropo-
lis, and in consequence the progress ex-
hibfted by the towns in California is sadly
lacking in the little city on the Marin
coast. ~.
: There seems to be reticence on the
part of the directors of the Mill Valley
and Mount Tamaipais Scenic road about
diyulging the plans for the future. Vice.
President David Mckay was seen this af-
ternoon and said he was not at liberty 10
state what action the directors had taken
al meeting held last week in regard TO
extending the line to Bolinas. 1t is
known that Mr.. Mckay is heartily in favor
of the proposition. He said that the roll
ing stock OF the road was to be increased.

SAN GABRIEL CANYON GOLD.
Prospectors Find Quartz Lead Which
Promises 10 Yield Fortunes TO
Each of Them

SANTA MONICA. CAL, Feb. 1.-Reli-
able news is received of a very rich gold
strike at San Gabriel Canyon, forty miles
east OF here. Two miners had been
placer mining there with varied success
since last fall. Recently they found
pieces of quartz rich in gold. They put
the quartz to the mortar pestle process
and panned it out. Their expectations
were fully verified, and they estimated
that it was worth anywhere from $500 to
5000 to the ton.
Next they followed the float until it
gave out and sunk shaft twelve feet
deep and then began drifting into the
mountain, which is very steep. 1t was
not long before they were rewarded by
finding the ore body, which is said to be
eight inches in thickness and is COM
posed OF pyrites of iron and gold, much
of the latter being visible to the naked
eye.
The place at which they are at work is
wholly inaccessible to any mode OF trans
portation other than burros, and except
at very low stage of the water even a
burro could not reach it. For many years
San Gabriel Canyon has been prospected
and worked, and some fair stakes have
been made. The mountains we're known
to contain quartz leads many years ago.
They were first worked by the Spaniards
and early settlers with better returns than
OF late wears.
