AMONG THE MINES.
Fsest Picked Up Around tire Crystal District snd
EchsessFrom the nany Mines.

The Milwaukee will resume work next
week and continue through the winter
The ore will be handled by the Hoffman
smelter. This is one of the Sheep Noun
tain mines that should not lay idle a
day, for it has lots Of good ore in sight
and has shipped considerable.
S. H. Caldwell will continue work on
the Van Deusen as long as weather per-
mits. He first thought of closing down
for the season some weeks ago but his
anxiety to develop the property as far as
possible this fall caused him to continue
work.
There will be considerable development
work done in various mines this winter
on contracts. We hear the Lead King
will let contract to drive the lower
tunnel two hundred feet. This tunnel
will greatly facilitate the working Of the
best producer Of the camp, besides it will
probably open-up new ore bodies.
AL Ferris will continue work on his
claims in the vicinity of Scofield until
snow drives him out. On one of these
he has fine showing of galena, and two
boulders Of solid lead brought down each
weigh about four hundred pounds. As
most of the lead ores here carry silver
this property is doubtless no exception
to the rule.
Mrs. Sarah May took force of men to
the Catalpa today to begin taking out
ore, and shipments will begin next week
to the Hoffman Smelling and Reduction
Company at Marble. Although this first
shipment will be in the nature Of a test
ran, but the known values Of the ores in
this mine are such that there is little
doubt it will work steady all winter.
Mrs. May announces she is here "to make
a mine OF it" and there is every reason
to believe she will do SO.
Wednesday the power drills began to
perforate the solid breast of the Bear
Mount ain Tunnel, and the daily round of
blasts reverberate each afternoon. The
work is begun under most IA yorable con-
ditions, and rapid progress will be made
in the development of this property.
The compressor supplying the power
has been overhauled and repaired, the
new pipe line is perfect, and the air
drills are doing good work. Additions
will be made to the force employed as
work progresses.

Stories of the late Buck" Kilgore are

She's stylish and pretty and passably
witty,
AS wise, an told, as a sage,
She's bright and vivacious, extremely
sagacious.
And not of an uncertain age.
La every movement for womans improve
ment,
She took quite prominent part,
But never a lovor to passion could move
her,
The girl with Klondiky heart.
She thought it was really provokingly
silly,
That folks for each other should yearn
kisses,
No, thank you, not any in her'n.
Twas really shocking to hear people
talking
OF Cupid's love -maddening dart
She said most emphatic they'd wheels
in their attic
The girl with the Klondiky heart.
But o! for her notions ana frigid emo
tions,
She soon wore the crown Of bride;
When next 1 beheld her man much
her elder
Was clinging quite close by her side.
Her features were wearing smile most
endearing;
knew she was playing part
Her love was all CANNON; twas certain
ly mammon
Had thawed out the Klondiky heart.

The Denver papers are saying all sorts
OF nice things about Miss Hurd, the
lady chosen as Queen of the Festival of
Mountain and Plain. But if half the
same papers have published about her
objections to riding on a float. and fear
ing she might do something unbecoming
regal queen, is true, then she is not q
proper person to be thus honOred. She
lacks tact, is self opinionated and vain.
We hope the papers have been mistaken

OUR SALTED PLACER.
Washed From the Rich Deposits ON The Lance
Exchange Table.

With his usual returning modesty the
editor of the Ouray Pldindedler asserts
that his paper always leads, but never
follows, but does not continue his story
to finish as to whether his contempo-
raries see fit to follow his lead. II they
did what tortuous trail would need to
be pursued ito dodge and turn and bend

Ex- County Commissioner Thomas
Nichol returned this morning from the
Crystal river district, in Gunnison coun-
ty, to which place he was called several
days since by men employed on his min
ing property and who reported find OF
rich mineral therein.
Mr.. Nichol states that the information
telegraphed was correct; that others and
himself are in line for reaping quite a
harvest next year from their investments
there. The ore, which is on a contact,
carries wire silver, copper and gold, and
in claims adjoining the wire silver runs
from $500 to s4OO per ton. City Clerk
Frank Kratzer is interested in the prop
critics and Mr.. Nichol left him there
looking at it.-Denrer Post.

than two thirds Of the newspapers can

Special Dispatch to The CALI

GUAYMAS, MEXICO. Ocr. 15.-Guaymas
and all Sonora are excited over the epor
that the ancient Tecolote mine had been
discovered. 1t was a gold mine, worked
by the Spaniards several centuries ago.
All that was known OF it was that Its loca-
ZION was somewhere IN the hills near the
Lower YaQui, the same stream on which
wonderful 'acer diggings have lately
been found. At long interval, parties
have set out 10 search Tor il, but the way
has been through the territory of the
hitherto hostile Yaqui tribe, ard death
has overtsken many OF the expeditions.
In the ancient archives at the City OF
Mex CO much has been found concerning
this old property, including statements OF
almost fabulous wealth derived from its
depths. All the chronicles tell of its To-
cation is that il was a certain mum Der OF
leagues from the pueblo of Ures. the lat
ter part OF the journey over q very difficult
mule path.
The last records concerning the mine
are that The supply OF gold ingots had
been cut off through a general insurrec-
tion of the Sonora lndians The story has
been handed down In Sonora for genera
tions, traultlOn also teIilhB tnat the opah-
ism miners were walled up by the Indians
within the mine and there left to die, sur
rounded by wondrous wealth of gold in
bars that had been smelted and then
stored away in the mine for security.
Since peace has been declared between
Mexico and the Yaouis a number of pros
pectors have been searching for the an
cient bonanza. Several days ago Mex
ican prospector returned 10 Guaymas and
reported that he mad found the mine
walled up, as told by traction, and with
he ruins of It's pueb bio and church near
by. The story was told only to The pros

OAKLAND, CAL. Oct Is. - When
Sheriff White released ]. w. Dutton
from his deputyship in the Sheriff S
office yesterday, 1t was well known that
there was some reason for it, for White is
always regarded as one who would give q
man fair show to look out for something
else before letting him go. The secret is
now out, and is verltabls little romance
in politics.
J. w. Dutton, ex-courtroom deputy to
Judge Greene, loved very unwisely, and
this love led to his political undoing. He
would not even desist from showing his
regard for the young lady when
threatened with parental wrath; and
when this stage had been reached the
actions OF his deputy were reported to the
Sheriff, and discharge followed.
The object OF Dutton's esteem anu affec-
tion is young lady who is said to be yet
a child. She has recently left a convent,
where she has been for several years, and
is very innocent regarding the ways OF the
world. Dulton is widower between 50
and GO years of age and does not deny
that he has some regard for the young
lady, but says mis- sudden discharge is due
TO politics and that the incident referred
to IS only an excuse taken advantage of.
About two weeks ago the mother of the
CIR! reported to Sheriff White that Dutton
was meeting her daughter against her
will They were watcht j, and II was
found that the two were taking little
walks 10 sether in defiance Of the mothers
wishes and orders. When this was made
known TO the Sheriff Dutton was given an
opportunity to offer his resignation, which
was i'm ediately accepted,
"i do not see that my private affairs
should cut any figure in my official
career" said Mr.. Dutton tonight. Il al
tended 10 my duties, and the information
on which Sheriff White says he acted
came TO him IN confidential manner and
he should have so regarded it. There
have been people trying to secure this
change for m onths but [ do not approve
OF the manner in which it has been done"
81 have not q word to ssy,' said Sheriff
White to-day. ut is Tor Mr.. Dutton 10
explain why he resigned; am convinced
that l simply did my duly in the matter
II Mr.. Dutton does not properly represent
the matter it will be time enough for me
10 speak"
Dutton is the president of the Bryan
Army and Navy League and White is a
PJpunst, and the situation has aroused
great interest.

POLICE COURT METHODS.
The Grand Jury Presen It's Indict-
ment Against Attorney w. ID.
Grady of Fresno.

Police Court methods and practices were
the subject of investigation by the Grand
Jury at atvesterday's session. Police Judges
JoachImsen, Conlan, Campbell and Low,
with their Prosecuting Attorneys and AS
sistant Prosecuting Attorneys, were sum-
moned before the jury to explain the prac-
Iices of their offices.
The cause of the investigation, which
crops up at least annually, was the charge
OF Mr. Bennett of San jose charging w
ID. Grady. Fresno lawyer, with the en-
be zzement OF $500, which he was alleged
to have collected and failed to turn over
10 the Bennett estate. On the strength of
the evidence presented an ind Ictment was
found against Grady last Thursday, and
was presented to superior Judge SeaweIi
yesterday afternoon.
During yesterdays proceedings of the
Grand Jury another Police Court case was
partially ventilated, but not finally dis
posed Of According to the testimony
presented W. J. Gleason, Assistant Prose-
cutting Attorney OF Judge Lows court,
and he named Robt Dennis to fill his place
While Dennis was acting in that capacity
a Mrs. Cartwright applied to him for
warrant Tor the arrest of A. . sen on a
charge of EN- beZzlement. The woman
claimed tha. she had advanced Olsen Sis
to purchase ticket to Kondike, but that
he had embez zZ,sd ;he money. She
charged that Dennis instead of issuing
the warrant, hunted up Olsen and showed
him d power OF attorney from the CO M

SEARCHING FOR
HIS DAUGHTER
Four Years Ago She Left
Her Husband and
Young Baby.
George Knight Looking for the
Wayward One All Over
the Continent
Living Happily in West Oakland
Till Wooed From Her
Home.

OAKLAND. CAL, Oc'. 10. - A West
Oakland father IS now in Chicago trying
to find MS daughter, who left home, hus-
band and baty four years ago.
George Knight is the unhappy m an who
is now engaged in the searcn. Five years
ago his daughter Mary was the wife of Ed
Rogers and al her request the knight
family moved 10 Oakland. Mr.. ana Mrs.
Rogers were living happily together and
the husband was employed as druggist,
but soon after the arrival of her parents
a change came over the Rogers home.
Mrs. Rogers, then % years OF age, was a
vivacious, pretty young woman. She was
full OF life and Just the reverse of her hus-
band, who was much older and who was
OF a gloomy taciturn nature. The girl
was not happy and her husband did not
do much toward trying TO hold her af-
fections.
After a while Rogers friend, Charles
Lindley, a druggist, came from Topeka to
this city. He renewed his old acouaint-
ance with Rogers and the latter frequently
entertained hlm at his home. Lindley
was much younger than Rogers and was
an attractive, bright man, and it was only
natural hat his nature, which was very
~ Iildl Vi MIS-. hORSIs,
IN her n congenial companion.
Six months after Lindley appeared on
the scene Ms. Rogers discovered hat she
wanted 10 visit her friends in Topeka.
A bout the same time Lindley returned to
the East. From Toteka Mrs Rogers went
10 Kansas City, and from that time ali
trace of her has been lost. She left her
baby, which was six months old, with its
father before sne left Oakland and it has
since died.
About the time Mrs. Rogers disappeared
Llpdley also dropped out OF sight, and
neither his family nor the Rogers family
have been able 10 discover a trace of the
issing couple. Mr.. knight is convinced
that they are to ether.
Two years ago Rogers, seeing that his
wife did not intend to return, married
again, and now lives with his wife in
Florida Since 1898 nothing has been
heard of Mrs. Mary Rogers. Her father
Is employed by the Pacifie Press in this
city, and her sister, Mrs. Rue, said to-day
that during the two months of the ia her s
search in the East he has learned nothing
OF his daughter.
