EUaEKA'S WATER CARNIVAL.
Citizens of the Humboldt Metropolis In
terested IN the Selection of
Pretty Rulers.

EUREKA, CAL, June ia lively con-
test has been in progress during the past
week-the selection of candidates for God.
dess Of Liberty and Columbia, to preside
over the festivities of the approaching
carnival. From the number of ballots
cast nearly every one in the county must
have voted. The highest vote was 1717,
received by Miss Amelia Gilman of
Eureka. The nominees for fiesta honors
are: Amelia Gilman, Eureka; Mary
Scott, Ferndale; Mabel Scott, Eureka !;
Celia Stone, Arcata; Florence Woodlee
Jessie Dickson, Edna Flansberg, Annie
Palmtag, Rena Bonstell and Edith Evans,
Eureka.
Voting on the final contest commenced
to-day and Will continue until June %
Votes will cost l cent each. If the con-
test IS as spirited this year as it was last
the committee will clear about $500, to
be added 10 the carnival fund. The young
lady receiving the most votes will be de-
clared the Goddess of Liberty; the next
best will put on the crown of Columbia.
Besides the Goddess OF Liberty and
Colum bia there will be another divinity,
who, with her maids, will probably be as
deeply enyied By aspiring young ladies as
the other. She will be Queen OF the
Waters and hold sway during the Vene-
tian night on the bay. Work has already
been commenced on the royal feet. The
queen will be selected in q few days.
Probably the most delightful feature of
the celebration will be the Venetian
water carnival on Hum boIdt Bay on July
3. the opening night. The bay will be
| illuminated in a way never attempted
heretofore. Floating bonfres made to
! represent burning ships Will form a pic
turesque feature of the illumination.
There will De a couple of strong search
lights and an abundance of red fire,
rockets and lanterns. The band will oc-
cupy highly decorated barge stationed
on the bay and be the center around
which the floats and barges in the illumi-
mated parade will move.
The appearance OF a warship in the bay
| at this time will add greatly to the success
of the carnival. The seamen will take
part in the street parade on the last day
of the fiesta and the officers are expected
to attend the concluding ball.

SAPPHIRE FOUND IN IDAHO.
Placer Miner Picks Up What Is B. heyed
TO Be the largest Gsm of its
Kind m the World

TACOMA, WASH, June 15.-A Denver
mining man who is here bonding copper
PROPOSITIONS on the Marshall River, tells
of a wonderful find in Idaho. He saws
that an Idaho man engaged in placer
mining walked into the Denver Miners
Bureau recently, and after looking around
stepped up to George Taylor's gem coun-
ter, and showing piece of blue crystal,
asked Taylor if he knew what it was.
Taylor nearly lost his breath as he
recognized that it was sapphire of the
purest water, and the largest he had ever
seen. The gem was nearly cube. being
about one and half inches thick, one
and a half inches wide and two inches
long. 1t was waterworn, showing plainly
the peboly conformation gradually as
sumed by gems formed in the beds of
mountain torrents, the edges being very
much rounded.
This is the first sapphire of any size dis
covered In Idaho. They are frequently
fonnd in Montana, and some very fine
stones have come from there. Tne owner
of this stone is operating placer mines in
Idaho, and the gem was found in the tail
ings and preserved on account of its bright
blue color.
News of the find reached New YorE, and
an agent of Tiffany, after examining the
stone, offered $4,000 for it. The owner de-
cided that If it was worth that in the
rough it was probably worth much more,
and he is now on his way 10 London.
where he expects 10 realize its full value.
The stone is almost perfect the only
blemish being fracture on one side ex-
tending less than an eighth Of an inch
into the stone. Taylor stated that in his
opinion it was the largest known sapphire
in the world, the weight being 20 carats.

the Sufferers.

AUBURN. CAL, June 15-Pandemon-

of the fire and explosion yesterday. As
the whole business portion of town was
destroyed. it has been hard matter for
the people TO get sufficient provisions.
| Freight wagons will arrive at the fire.
swept town tomorrow, and the danger
that any one will go hungry will be past.
A scene of desolation met the eyes of
visitors to Georgetown to-day. Where the
business center of the prosperous town
had stood there was nothing but smoking
ruins, from which now and then an un-
quenched flame shot up.
Beyond the smoking en- bers those made
homeless by the conflagration had erected
temporary domiciIes with the assistan ce
of the residents who were more fortunate.
Many of the fire sufferers have been cared
for in the homes which were not de-
stroyed, and the more lucky inhabitants
have been generous in their assistance
To-day some provisions and blankets
were received from surrounding towns.
Some of the dispatches from Placerville
stated that William Newell, who was
among those killed by the explosion, was
ex-Assem blyman Newell. In this all of
the San Francisco dailies but THE CALL
erred.
the ex-legisator is alive and wall. Mr..
Newell and Mrs. McLain, whose iniur es
| afterward proved fatal, were standing
fully 80 feet from the scene of the explo-
sion. A missile struck Newell directly
| over the heart, and he died without a
groan. Clinton Hubert, whose leg was
broken and badly lacerated, will recover.
! 1t is now almot certain that the fire
started from a defective flue in the Tahoe
! saloon, owned by the Sherer Brothers
and located next TO Shepherds drugstore.
Some of the losses are as follows: Shep-
herds, about $15.OOO fairly well insured /;
! Sorn berger s, about $4,000; Mrs. Jack
sons, $4,000; d. Jerrett's, $4,000 These
were ali residents of what were supposed
to be fireproof buildings.
Other losers are: A. O'ReiIly, hotel and
saloon, $4,000; A. Francis, saloon, $1,000,
no insurance; Fred Smeder, $1,000; J..
| Scherer, $4,000; G O'Reilly, Postmaster,
! $1,000; Frey Bros, butchers, $1,000.
One of the inconvenience resulting
! from the fire was the burning OF the post :
office. Everything was destroyed, includ-
! ing the postmarking and cancelin @
stamps. A good deal of mail has ac-
cumulated, awaiting the arrival of post

YU SRI " TAXES 4 HAND.
a See YHp Boycott at Los
G71eIes

LOS ANGELES, CAL, June 15.-Yu
Sm VI, the Chinese Consul-General at
San Francisco, will take hand in the
boycott tnat is being waged between the
tongs in Chinatown of Los Angeles. To-
day the Chief of Police received from the
Consul-General telegram saying he had
received information that Cinnamon had
been arrested here for snatching goods
from patrons of boycotted stores, and as
complaints on this score had been too fre-
quent OF late he urged the CHIEF of Police
10 push the prosecution of the guilty
persons and punish them so severely as
to deter others from the commission of
like offenses.
This communication was prompted by
the fact that the famous boycott by the
See Yups against the Sam Yups has
broken out afresh here and is being en-
forced so vigorously as to cause violent
encounters between represen atives OF the
rival factions, with a good prospect OF
open and general warfare and bloodshed.
The Cinnamon referred to by the Consul
General com mitted a robbery in snatching
from a countryma an goods he had bought
a n boycotted store.
Extra police are detailed for Chinatown
10 prevent ghbinders 1awlessness.
It was learned to-day that the Ching
Hing Tong is doubly assessing members
10 raise money to oppose the crusade e
being carried on by the police against
the lotteries. The circular issued oy the
society intimates that money will be
badly needed to head off the prosecutions.

SAN DLEGt'S SENSATION.
Elizabeth D. coWs Granted a Divorce
From Her Husband for Alleged
Cruelty.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, June 15.-Elizabeth
D. Couts was to-day granted a divorce
by Judge Hughes from her husband, Cave
J. Couts, on the ground of cruelty. The
custody of their only child, boy of
years, was left in statu quo for the pres
ent, and the property, consisting of the
Ranchita gold mine, Altrura rancho of
1000 acres and several other large ranches,
will be divided, by order OF the court, next
week.
The case has been on trial for a week
past behind closed doors. and has at
tracted great deal of attention because
of the prominence of the principals. There
were some sensational features in the tes-
timony, but the decree eliminated all
reference to everything but the main
charge. Mr.. and Mrs. Couts are very
prominent socially. Mr.. Couts is son of
the late Ysidro B. de Couts, one of the
most celebrated Spanish women of Cali
fornia, who died few days ago.

Directs a PrOSpeCtOr to
a Wonderful Ore
Deposit.
May Prove to Be the Richest
Yet Discovered in the
Northwest.
Is Located on the Summit OF the
Cascades, Near the Great
Northern Line.

SEATTLE, WASH, Jnne 15.-On the
summit of the lofty Cascades a ia abulously
rich mineral discovery is reported to have
BEEN made, and interviewer with the cir
cumstances surrounding the find is a red
mans romance.
In November last there died in the his.
toric range all old Yakima Indian warrior.
As the spirit fed from the body of the old
brave he called to his side a prospector
known as "Du; CHI Miller, with whom he
had been on more or less friendly terms
for many years, and told him of what he
termed great mineral ledge. The Indian
gave a minute description of the location
and peculiar landmarks surrounding it
such explicit directions. in fact, that Mil
Ter had no difficulty in finding the ledge
this spring, after the snow had partially
disappeared from the mountain peaks.
The claim located by Miller consists of a
lO 10 80 foot ledge, containing copper,
god and silver. So rich in mineral is the
ore that some of the big mining men OF
Rossland and BOW in this CITY predict
that the ledge will prove the richest dis
covered in the Northwest.
There Is great excitement over the find,
and though the news of the discovery
reached Seattle only a day or so ago
there are reported to have been from fifty
to seventy-hve locations filed in the imme-
diate vicinity of Miller's claim, which is
located about twelve miles south of where
| the Great Northern Railroad crosses the
| mountain range.
Those who have been fortunate enough
to make locations say there are strong in
dications from surface groupings that the
ore body extends along the mountains to
the south of the Miller claim for dis
| tsnce of twenty-five or thirty miles. and
possibly clear to the Northern Pacific
tunnel. Until this spring, it appears
this particular section of the Cascades had
never been prospected.

FRESNO. CAL. June 15.-Professor
Benjamin W. Fabian, the piano instructor
whom citizens committee ordered to
leave Visalia last Saturday night with
out delay, because of his alleged mis-
conduct with the wife of a prominent
merchant of the town, is still in the
Tulare County capital. He announces
that he will stay there and continue Civ
ing music lessons as long as he chooses,
which may be for some time. The COM
mittee, it seems, has receded somewhat
from the bold stand it took in, what was
deemed TO be for the advantage of the
morals of the community. Whether the
citizens will take any further steps is not
known, but it is understood that the or
ganiZatiOn has not disbanded.
Professor Ta bian admits that the twelve
citizens waited upon him with the order
to depart from the town q once but he
asserts that be did nothing TO warrant
pose 10 submit to any injustice. For this
reason he would stay TO vindicate him
self. The professor says he did not re-
cognize any OF the committee.
After his meeting with the wrathful
citizens. Fabian fed to the residence Of
Judge Cross, who presides in the Superior
Court of the county. The Judge is a

The professor spent Saturday night and
Sunday. Monday morning he appeared
up town for the first time but the first
thing he did was TO purchase pistol.
No one molested him during the day.
The mem bers of the committee are now
very sorry that they did not take steps
to insure the professors departure on
Saturday night. They accepted his promise
that he would leave as a sufficient as
surance that he would go. and then re-
turned 10 their homes. Now they wish
they had taken drastic measures. and not

MADEIRA, CAL, June 15-The lum ber-
mills of the MADEIRA Flume and Trading
Company here were burned to the ground
last night. The mills gave employment
to fifty men and for the last three months
had been working overtime because of the
mum Der of orders ahead. The fire is be-
leved TO have started from a hot box of
the machinery igniting the sawdust. 1t
began al the northerly part of the build
ing and swept its way south, famed by a
strong wind. A slight rain coming on at
the time of the confagration prevented
the dry grain fields TO the south of the
mill from igniung and causing a great
deal more damage.
1t was o'clock when the employees left
the building and two hours afterward the
night Waterman discovered the flames.
He gave the alarm, but the outer gate OF
the miIlyard was locked and prevented
the fire department from gaining access
Immediately. Before the firemen could
get into the yard the water tanks which
supply the town and the department with
water had caught fire and the flames were
not long in burning them down. This
left the department helpless. In about
three hours the entire plant had burned
to the ground.
The town is without water to-day with
the exception of what can be supplied
from the few wells. The telegraph lines
on the Southern Pacific Railroad were
burned down and the tracks were warped
to such an extent that this morning s

100000 ieet of lumber in the yard, which
has been flumed from the eastern part Of

$50, 900, with insurance of $4,000. The
