THE CRETAN UPRISING.
Russian Consuls Say 1t Was Caused
By Misunderstanding Agitators.

Russian Consuls Say 1t Was Caused
By Misunderstanding Agitators.
New York, Feb. ia dispatch to
the Herald from st. Petersburg, says:
The Russian foreign office has before
it very accurate and impartial reports
about Crete, from her consuls All
agree with the reports made by the
other foreign consuls that it was the
misunderstanding agitators who work
ed up the Cretan revolution and imme-
diately accused the Mussulmans of be-
ing the offenders. These agitators are
shown up in their true light.
Hence Russia and the other powers
were unanimous in regard to the
course of action to be taken and 1t is
certain they will act with the firmness
which is necessary with such lawless
and additionally turbulent people.
A diplomat said today: In truth
the ambassadors in Constantinople are
to blame Five months ago they were
given responsibility to execute the re-
forms that the Sultan had granted.
They have up to now, accomplished no
pratical portion of their mission, the
first and most important part of which
was " olSdHlze slrohS polCe loECe'
with foreign officers and second, the
reform of the law courts"
Had they organized the police force
at once. instead of delaying, the pres
ent troubles would not have taken
place. To show how little the Greek
alarm is, their reports to which even
the Greek minister of foreign affairs
scarcely lends himself are credited

FELL SEVENTY FEET.
CHARLES DIETRICH SEVERELY IN
JURED THIS AFTERNOON.
he Was Unloading a Piano From the
MaCkey Building Elevator and he
Fell From the Fifth Story,

Charles Dietrich fell from the fifth
floor of the Mackey building on East
Houston street, about 1870 o'clock this
afternoon. Dietrich was employed by
Goggan Bros, as piano mover and was
in the act of unloading an upright pi-
ano from the elevator on the fifth floor
He was in the elevator and Tony Gas-.
vey, the elevator boy, was outside,
helping to get the piano out. Carney
wanted to go in the elevator to help
Dietrich, but the latter insisted that
he remain on the outside Dietrich
was alone in the elevator, and as the
piano had almost been removed the
elevator started to go down. 1t is be-
lieved that Dietrich's arm struck the
lever and this started the elevator.
The piano was still partly in the eleva-
tor, and as it continued to go down
the top of the elevator was torn off.
Dietrich was standing on the floor of
the elevator and struck the cellar,
seventy feet below. with violent force.
Then the top of the elevator came
down upon him, and it was expected
that a mangled corpse would be
brought to light.
The elevator was total wreck and |
Dietrich was underneath the debris. |
He was picked up and it is feared his
skull is fractured and that he is inter-
nally injured. He was taken to his
home lis Menchaca street.
Harry Wright, saw the whole accident.
He said that Garvey had warned Die
trich to be careful not to touch the le-
yer. He does not believe that the ac-
cident was due to any defect of the
elevator which, he believes, was in
first-class condition.

the deep water harbor at San Pedro, Cal, but the way has again been smoothed over and the work will pro- ceed, if contractors can be found will ing to assume the responsibility. A careful perusal of the terms of the last river and harbor act has con- veyed the impression to Secretary Al ger that there was a conflict between two sections that might negative both. In one place authorization seemed to be carried for the beginning of work at the place selected by the commits sion for the deep water harbor, which was San Pedro, while in another sec tion, making an appropriation for Wilmington harbor, which is identi- cal with San Pedro, it was provided that the appropriation was to be available only in the event that the place was not selected as the site of the deep water Ilarbor.
 Secretary Alger was impressed with the belief that the act carired no ap- propriation in this case for San Pedro, but he has determined to go on with the work of preparing specifications and advertise for proposals for doing the work, leaving the contractors to look to congress for their money. He will also submit with his regular esti- mates an item of $400,00 for the first years work on the Earbor.

SOME MINING TRANSACTIONS.

U. G. Wilder this week bought a one-third interest in the Gold Ia male, Picacho Peak, Butte, Kentucky and Alabama gold claims, in Picacho district, the other two-thirds of which are owned by Wm. Thornberry and George Finley. Their claims are continuation of the Tarantula group which has been bonded by Los An geles parties for good round figure. Both groups show up we'll and are conceded to be among the most prom ising in Picacho district.
 surveyor w. H. Elliott bought a one-third interest in the lone and Lucile claims, adjacent to the King of Arizona group, from c. L. Brown. These claims have given. some good prospects, and with the development of water in the district will doubtless prove valuable. No work beyond that required for assessme ent has as yet been done.-Yuma Sun.

THE ORC MINING CAMP.

Word comes from Gro Blanco of the continued development of the Orc and Julia mines, says the Citizen. Work on the big ledge is steadily go- ing msrrily forward and an increased valuation of the rock daily becomes more manifest. The ledge has been cut across from wall to wall and is fifty-one feet~i1 thickness. Drifting in on it has been commenced ana across the entire~face of the breast the valuation is from sI to S4o.
 Ledge No. 2 varies in Nrdth- fron2l four to eight feet and samples aEf~fH~ way between $7 and $50.
 Ledge No. 3 averages about twelve feet in wid.th and when taken across the face has an assay value Of about the same as No. although $50 rock is occasionally taken out.
 The mill runs almost continuously, the only closing down day is on the first of the month, when the usual clean up is made.
 The mill is of but ten stamp ca pacity and one of fifty stamps is said to be absolutely necessary for the proper working Of the mine. There is some talk of the property passing into the hands of a new company. In that event mill of fifty or 100 stamps capacity would be at once built This done the Gro will be the largest gold mining camp in the ter ritory.
 With an increased crushing capac- ity larger reservoir system will be needed for the impounding of flood waters. This, however, can be sup piled at no great cost. The reservoirs now in have demonstrated the prac- ticability of the system which ensures an abundance of water for all ueed- full purposes, and to almost any ex- tent.
 About thirty men are employed in and about the works
 : Supt Gould, under whose able man. agement the property has been s- handsomely developed, has an abfd- ing faith in it. He maintains withou hesitation that there is no such gold property in the territory

"wATERED STOCK" COMES HIGH
Good News From the We'll Borers at
 the King of Arizona Mine.

Since the day the mine .'was incor- porated, King of Arizona stock could probably not be bought cent below par, but whatever the figures at which it was held, twice the amount could not touch it now, for the joyful news has come from the mine that water has been struck in the we'll being sunk, says the Yuma Sun.
 It was hardly expected that signs would be noticed much under 400 feet, but at 200 feet small stream began pouring into the shaft, and it is now expected that good supply will be secured in less than 300 feet.
 The effect of this discovery on the King of Arizona district will be we'll nigh magical, as all those who have had any experience in mining in a dry country will understand.
 The King group being of such fabu- lous richness as to make it possible to haul the ore long distances, needed not to depend upon any condition for development, but the presence of wa ter for milling and other purpoS 3s render the property's great value many times greater, and make the development of good claims near at hand possible.
 Both MT. Duncan, one of the larg- est owners in King stock, and Super intendent Frank Guerra were in Yu ma at the time of the strike, and car simply reiterate the news as it came to them. MT Eichelberger, who owns third of the stock, is at present al the mine.
 Boring is now going on at the ratt of fifteen feet day, so that it is { question of but a few days when { plentiful supply of water will probab ly be flowing into the we'll, and thu future of King of Arizona dstric | will be assured
