WHEN YOU FIND A MINE
YOU MUST OBSERVE THE NEW
REQUIREMENTS
The State Miners Are Anxious to In
duce the Anti-Debris Men to
Call Halt

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2e.-The new
state mining law affecting locations
went into effect today. Under its pro-
visions locators of mining claims within
this state are given sixty days tfr1e in
which to perfect their locations, subject
to the following requirements: The dis
coverer of any vein or lode shall upon
making discovery erect Immediately
substantial mound or monument over
the point Of discovery and post thereon
a notice which shall contain ~ the
name of the lode or claim; (2) the name
Of the locator; (3) the date of the discov-
cry; a. the number of lineal feet claim
ed along the course of the vein each
way; (5) the width claimed on each
side; (e) the general course of the vein,
"a that this notice is a first or prelim-
mary notice.
This notice must be recorded at the
county recorders Office within twenty
days thereof, and within sixty days
thereof at least $50 worth of work must
have been done, and a certificate filed
with the county recorder to that effect,
in order to perfect location.
HYDRAULICKERS
SAN FRANCISCO, May 26.-The ex-
ecutive committee of the California
Miners Association is earnestly consid-
ering what can be done to prevent the
shutting down of hydraulic mines ana
mines which have been classed as such
by the Antidebris Association at q
meeting held in the rooms of the Union
League Club last evening. Jacob Neff
presided and Julian Sontag acted as
Secretary. ~ r-f. 4,
The report Of the Sacramento Cham
ber of Commerce on certain mines in
Nevada county was read. 1t recon-
mends that the Board of Public Works
make thorough investigation of the
mines, the owners of which they deem
unjustly enjoined by the Anti-debris
Commission.
A committee consisting of Jacob Neff,
T. L. Ford and Andrew Corrigan was
appointed to consult with the Chamber
Of Commerce of Sacramento and con-
slider how the Anti-debris Commission
shall be approached in an effort to in
duce it to desist in its attacks on hy-
draulic miners. ''
The Miners Association decided to
send two delegates to the Transmissis-
sippi Commercial Congress and five to
the Gold Mining Convention to be held
in Denver next month.

from di Liello and worked his way into
the good graces Of the basketmaker
who admitted him to the bosom of his
family and accorded him all the hos
pitality he thought the intimacy de-
inanded. Last week di Liello appeared
before the Second Recorders Court here
and made an affidavit against Fran
cisco, charging him with the abduction
of his three children, claiming that his
friend had. eloped with his wife and had
also taken his little ones, breaking up
his home.- He said Francisco had takei.
his wife to New York and upon the
charge word was sent to New York, ask
ing the arrest of the entire party. The
erring ones were not found in New York
Daily di Liello appeared at the central
police station in this city asking news
Of his lost ones but no news was given
him. Yesterday the body of a man was
discovered in the river. A crushed skull,
rope tied about the neck and grind
stone attached thereto indicated mur-
der, Upon investigation it was. found
that the murdered man was di Liello
and indications point to a crime com
initted; by the. friends of Francisco ir
revenge for fancied or real Sights upon
the name and fame of that individual.
1t is thought in view of the fact that
di Liello was seen upon the river front
during the day and his body was dis
covered before night that he was in
veigled on board lugger and there mur-
dered and his body cast into the water
by the levee. 1t has also transpired that
Francisco and the family Of the dead
man did not go to New York, but are in
New Orleans, and the presumption bas-
cd upon certain facts in possession of
the police is that di Liello was decoyed
on the lugger in the hopes of seeing his
children, and there put to death.

A Durrant Story

STOCKTON. May 2s.--The man who
is said to have told Mrs. DIR. Freeman oe
this city that he was on the car with
Blanche Lamont the day of her disap-
pearance is probably William Meekin.
whose last known address was SIT Hyde
street. San Francisco. His story told
here was that he did not know Blanche
Lamont and was not with her. but he
made the same trip that she is said to
have made that Gay. He resembled.
Durrant closely in personal appearance.
and 1t was so remarked often while he
was hotel clerk here year ago during

THE BRIDGE IS SAVED
BUT Ell PAso HOUSES GO TO
PIECES
No Lives Are Lost by tho Rio Grande
Floods, But the Damage Il Not
Yet Known

Ell PAsO, Tex, May 2e.-The Rio
Grande continues to rise. and an army
of men are strung out on Sixth street,
working on the new levee that was
thrown UP on Monday night when the
old levee broke. This morning at IL
o'clock all the bells in Juarez were rune
to call out the people to check the break
in the Juarez levees, and the Mexican
troops stationed at Juarez were awak-
ened to save the Mexican end of one of
the International street car bridges, the
approaches to which were being wash
ed out by the water. The bridge was
saved.
At noon today the levee in front of
City Recorder c. B. Patterson's resi-
dence broke and the waters rushed into
the house, almost drowning the re-
corder and a friend who was with him.
Several hundred poor Mexican citizens
who resided on the river front have had
their houses washed away and are
camping out on vacant lots. So far as
can be learned no human lives were lost
in the flood.
It is feared that the El Paso street
levee will break tonight. II so q por-
ton of the business part OF the city will
be flooded.
SAN JOAQUIN FLOODS
TRACY, May 26.-The San Joaquin
river, owing to melting snow In the
mountains, is higher than 1t has been for
many years. All the land owners along
the river have forces of men watching
the levees, as a bad break in one will
endanger all island farmers and cause
thousands of dollars damage to crops.
Several small breaks have occurred, but
they were stopped with sacks filled with
earth before the water got the best Of
the watchmen.
A KANSAS STORM

The proposition which Mr.. Lodge has
given notice that he will make when the

Senate, providing for the sale Of the Force

has called forth a letter on this subject
from Trustee Job Barnard and from Com
missioner Ross.
Mr. Lodges proposed amendment was
submitted to the Commissioners, and they
at once forwarded it to Mr.. Job Barnard.
who is the school trustee for the first
school division. in which the Force Scnool Is
situated, for his opinion.
Your committee is aware of the fact"
Commissioner Ross says, in addressing
Mr. Mcmillan. that the proceeds OF the
sale of all property belonging to the Dis
trict is. under the existing law. required to
be deposited In the treasury of the United
States. and 1t will he readily seen that un-
der this provision of law there would be no
funds in the control of the Commissioners
for the purchase OF another site for the erec-
tion of another building to be used in lieu
of the Force building. Should your COM
mittce and Congress deem 1t wise to dis
pcse of this property the Commissioners
would earnestly recommend that the condi-
ton to the sale should be that the price
realized for the building and ground should
be at least the present value OF the proper
land consists Of p ,S2S square feet of
ground.
''At $3 a foot, which is certainly a moder-
ate price for land in that vicinity. the
value of the land woIld be at least $65, ,iS4 !;
add to that the cost OF the building, the
total value would be $101. 600.
Accompanying such provision, empOw-
ering the Commissioners to sell at what is
deemed tho full value of the property for
school purposes to the District there
should be an appropriation Of a sum SUM-
cient to replace the site and the building.
OF course In that event. the sale should rot
be consummated and delivery of possession
given until q new school building shah
have been provided. With the modern i'm
provements now In use In school buildings.
the estimated cost of a twelve-room IuiId-
ing would be $4S.O00."
Trustee Barnards letter on this subject
disapproves Of the proposition. Mr.. Bar
nard says that the Force school building
was erected at a cost Of $36,215. He SAYS
its location Is such that from the first It
has had an excellent class OF pupils and
such good reputation as q school that IL
II always well nlled.
II do not think" Mr.. Barnard says. .ft
would be good policy to sell the ground or
the building at this time. Looking at the
