Bonanza Gold Strike in
the Mascot Mine at
Stent.
Night Shift Uncovers a Big
Deposit of the Precious
Metal.
Believed to Be One of a Series OF
Pockets in Tuolumne's
Klondike.

SONORA, CAL, Sept 4,-E1citement
has run high at Stent during the past few
hours owing 10 a magnificent strike in the
Mascot mine, the property of the Santa
Ysabel Mining Company.
The strike was made during the work
ing hours of the night shift, and was so
extensive as to necessitate the miners
working some houls overtime in order to
secure ali Of the precious metal. From
reliable information it is safe to aver that
the pocket for such it is, will approximate
near $50, coo.
Superintendent Hardy, when spoken to
regarding the find, proved as close.
mouthed as the proverblal clam. While
ackno nowledging that big strike had been
made, he declined to state the amount.
Some of the employees were less secretivs,
and from their statements IL was learnsS
that the pocket yielded about $50, 600.
The Mascot is on the mother lode and
has been worked systematically with a
large force for some time. 1t is safe to
presume that this pocket will not prove
an isolated one. but will probably prove
to be one of series.
Several days ago a strike was made at
the Green mine, situated on the east belt.
On the 300 level rich seam of gold
which assays into the hundreds per ton
was encountered. This mine in. the past
proved phenomenal prod ucer, but it had
been closed for a protracted period, re.
open ing but recently. Now larger force
of men will be put ut work to strip the
bo onanza vein just uncovered.
Joseph And, miner OF Algerlne, this
county, is among the lucky Tuolumness,
u lii l. H.,
S400 with every prospect that the amount
will increase with the depth of the shafts.

TO BROADEN IT'S SCOPE.
Such Is the Intention of the
Associated Cycling
Clubs.
It Has Grown Beyond Expectations
and Wants Its Field Un-
limited.

The regular monthly meeting of the
California Associated Cycling Clubs was
held last evening at the rooms OF the
Acme Club WheeImen, Oakland. A large
attendance of delegates was present, rep
resenting the Ariel Bicycle Club OF Vallejo,
Acme and Reliance whee men of Oakland
Barker, Bay City, Golden Gate. Imperial,
Pathfinder and olympic elubs of San
Francisco, Turn Verein Cyclers of San
Joe, Capital City Wheelmen of Sacra-
mento and East Oakland Wheelmen.
The most important business before the
Getting was the lengthy discussion of the
propos ition TO formulate plan to organ
iZe an association OF Western cyclists
more comprehensive in its character than
the G. A G. &. The general trend Of the
discus ion was to tie effect that the scope
of the California association had so broad
ened, taking in IS 1t does now all the
States OF the Pacific Slope, that the name
'California Associated Cycling Clubs" is
in measure a misnomer.
A committee of five, consisting of
Messrs. Long, Welch, Adams. Coffey and
Wynne. was appointed TO prepare report
on tie best means OF bringing this about
which Will be acted upon at the next meet
ing OF the association.
The fact has b come apparent that with
a broader name and an unlimited field tn e
u n. ". y. Will OeCOluc uCn stronger
than 1T is now, and the leaders of the as
sociation desire this brought about, either
by he formation of a new organ'Zation or
by remod cling the rules of the present
one.
Joseph +. Coffey, chairman of the legal
committee, was instructed to take care of
the interests OF certain mem ers who had
been refused passage on boat from
Stockton recently. Suit is to be brought
against the transportation company.
mt EN- bership, vice Alameda Cyclers, re-
signed.
Delegate Charles Albert Adams pre-
sented the following resolution, which was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we view with pleasure the
effort being made to induce the Congress OF
swift wagon road over the property OF the
United States IN the forest reserve TO and into
the Yosemite Valley, that shall be free of pas
sage by all the people, and that we give such
effort our Endorsement, believing IL 10 be d.
rectly in lins with the good roads sentiment
that 1T is wise for cyclists to encourage.
President Swain made an extended re-
port on his recent visit 10 Portland, Ia.
coma, Seattle and Victoria, which was
enthusiastically received. The results of
his visit have already been given in the
papers.
Delegates Hancock, Sachs, Winslow, II.

SAYS silver ISSUE rs DEAD.
Carnegie, from the Heart of the
Highlands, Rejoices in Americas
Prosperity.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. A special
to the W oTld from London says: Andrew
Carnegie said to your rer resentative, who
called on him yesterday at Cluny Castle,
Invernesshire, North Scotland:
II am satisfied that the American Re-
public has started at last upon a career OF
genuine prosperity, which will drive into
the background the agitation for a re-
duced standard of value, which has been
an lmpediment TO her prosperity. The
recent fall OF silver, and the promise for
an augment supply of gold coming gives
me confidence that the silver issue is dead.
when return l expect to find the
country more prosperous than it has been
since 1890 under McKin ey, the most pop
uIas President since Lincoln. He will soon
be recognized as Lncoln's worthy success
sor, and. like him, the true man of the
people"
1t having been reported that Carnegie
has purchased Skibo Castle and an estate
of 1900 acres in Sutherlandshire, he was
asked Tor the facts. and answered.:
II have not purchased Skibbo yet, L
have only rented it for year. The owner
OF Cluny Castle having recently married
l was forced to look about for another
place in which TO spend the summer hot
days, beside which | have long desired TO
buy place in the driest part of the High
land near this sea, oil which L am passion
ately fond. as it never fails to restore me
to health when rest is necessary.
''My wife and l have now spent ten sue
cessive summers in the Highlands, in
variably en- joying robust health here. My
daughter has grown finely during this, her
first few months in this place, so we have
every inducement to continue to pass the
summers here. The estate of Skibo has
exactly the situation we desire, and is the
driest part of Sc )tland; a narrow strip
with extended along the c>ast line from
north down to the east coast almost 10 In
verness Castle which is one of the most
ancient in the North; was enlarged and
modernized a few years ago.
1.-THE estate extends fourteen miles
along the Dornoch Firth, at the mouth of
which are the IN ost celebrated gold links
in Scotland. There are numerous lochs
and streams on the property for fishing
while its grouse moors rank high. But a
determining factor in our selection OF
Skibo was the salubrity of the climate.
Though we have rented it only for a year,
we hope and believe we have found our
permanent Highland home"

Krebes, agent for ;he Southern Pacific
Company, returned 70 the ate to-day
and testified before the Board of Assess
ment and Valuation, composeJ of Auditor
Stone, Secretary of State Finley and
Treasurer Long. Krebes was accom-
panied by Alexander Humphry of Louis
vile, attorney for the company. Attor-
ney-General Taylor was called in as coun-
sci for the board.
Krebes stated that he was the duly
qualified agent of the Company; that the
company did business on the charter
passed in this State, but owned only about
500 worth of property in this State; that
IL owned stocks and bonds of railr Dads
and other properly ard had a caritaliza-
tion OF $12O 900, 900 but that the stock was
worth only from $12 to $23 on the 500.
He said the company operated no road.
He was then read the statutes of the State
relating to franchises of raj roads and
given a report upOn which be was re.
que ted to file a return Of all kinds of
property owned bv the company. H. re-
Piled on the adv ce of Attorney Hum
phrey that he would make the re port, but
would request that the suit now pending
for $4,000 penalties for failure to report
be Withdrawn.
This request was not granted but Gen
eraI Taylor replied that the matter would
be taken under consideration. Treasurer
Long informed Agent Krebes that South
ern Pacific stocks and bonds would be as
sessed as a franchise tax and that as this
is the legal residence OF the Southern Pc
citic for all such property owned in this
State it would be asked to pay 5216 cents
on each 500, which would net the State
over $4,000 annually since 1898 when the
law was nassed.
