he said, 'is all fake. There isn't an ounce
of gold in that part of the country. Any

there without getting show of color, ard

gold there Is only a scheme On the part OF
real estate men to boom the town of
Minook. When a tenderfoot strikes the
town he is shown plenty of gold by the
men interested in booming the place but
an experienced miner will tell you that
all the yellow metal shown is Kiondlke
gold. One man from Seattle, who went
up on the steamer with me- had 5000

SAN DIEGO'S
GREAT GRASP
Wants the Marion for Her
Branch of the Naval
Reserve.
It Is Not Certain, However,
That the Warship Will
Be Sent South.
Captain Louis Turner Will Make a
Strong Effort to Keep the
Vessel Here.

The members of the local divisions OF
the naval militia are not going to give the
old warship Marion up to the San Diego
boys without struggle. Preparations for
the reception of the vessel here have al
ready begun and they will not be stopped
unless the unexpected happens and the
vessel is turned over at once to the San
Diego reserve.
The local mem bership in the militia is
four times greater here than 1t is at San
Diego, so it is certainly not 1.-The good OF
the service" that the Secretary of the
Navy will be considering if he sends the
Marion south.
The question arises, however, il the
Marion remains here would the Camanche
ever reach San Diego? Ether one boat or
the other will go south and the question
of the seaworthiness of the old monitor
will have to be tested before she ven lures
on a voyage down the coast.

DELMAS' EYES
ARE FAILING
Eminent Lawyer Afflicted
With Inflammation of
the Optic Nerves.
As Chief Counsel for Mrs.
Nettie Craven He Over
Worked Himself.
Rumors That he Will Soon Sever
His Connection With Mr..
Shortridge.

Nettie r. Cravens claim against the
estate of the late James G. Fair has re-
suited IN great physical discontinue to
that ladys chief counsel, D. NJ. Delmas.
The nights of study and research ex-
pended by the attorney in building the
case of his client has resulted in serious
defect of vision.
1t Is rumored that Mr. DeImas is in
danger of complete loss of vision, but this
is denied by his physician, DR.. Kaspar
Pischel.
S. M. Shortridge, Mr.. Delmas' partner,
however. says that the attorney is suffer
ing from Inflammation of the optic
nerves, an aff1iction from which he has
been troubled before, but he says it is be-
lieved that with careful treatment he will
experience no permanent ill effects. The
patient is at present resting in his resi-
dence at Mountain View. He visits the
city occasionally, but is unable to perform
any of his duties and will not for some
weeks to come.
1t was thought for time that the ru-
mors of impeniing dissolution of the
firm OF Delmas & Shortridge were based
upon the failing vision OF the senior part
ner. This, however, is not fact.
w neither the statements that the firm will
be or has been dissolved are true cannot
be corroborated. Mr.. Shortridge is ex
tremely reticent regarding the matter. re-
fusing to either deny or affirm the state
ment. 1t is conceded fact that MIR. Del
mas has wearied of legal STRIFE. and In
event he remains in this city he will fol-
low some certain line of his profession
which will be prod uctive of not only
greater satisfaction, but increased emolu-
ments.
Rumo. also has it that Mr.. Shortridge
had determined to give up. the practice OF
The law and devote his attention TO min.
ing. This Mr.. shortridge denies. He will
continue In the pursuit of his profession
as usual, but acknowledges that he will
devote portion OF his time and energies
to the development and working of mining
properties now in his possession. A mine
OF great magnitude in the southern por-
ton OF the State, from which the ore is
now being crushed and ground by 140
