Pine Ridge. Cal. Gold Field.
FRESNO. Cal, Aug. 29.-Stages running from
the new mining camp OF Pine Ridge no longer
carry gold dust or amalgam. as tho proprietors
fear raids by Outlaw Cliff Regan and his gang of
three hslf-breed Indians and one Mexican. Re-
gan Is a successor to Chris Evans as tho terror
Of the Fresno foot hills. He Is absolutely reck-
less. and knows every trail and hiding place OF
Madeira. Once Regain participated in a robbery
OF a Chinese store in Madeira county. Tho out
law was caught by n half breed named John
Murphy. whom the authorities had employed to
take up the chase. Murphy and ltCgan had a
pitched battle, and the OUTLAW surrendered after
his gun had been shot TO pieces.
BY turning States evidence Regan succeeded
in getting off with a light sentence for robbery.
After serving II he returned to tho Madeira
mountains. where he has been stealing horses
and cattle with impunity ever since. About u
year ago he ran of with a herd OF horses from
Madeira county and crossed. the Summit to
Mono county. whore he sold them. So great Is
the fear of fegan that none OF the mountain
people will make a complaint against him.
Within a few days he has been seen near Pine
Ridge. and 1t is thought that he is, planning a
raid on the mining camp: He and his band are
armed heavily, and as all ofthein are dead shots
they mako n formidable combination, especial lily
as they readily escape pursuit through Regain

GREAT RUSH HOME.
Leaving the Gold Fields in
Great Numbers.

Port Townsend, Wash, Oct. T.
Among the passengers who arrived
here this morning on the steamer
Sailor Boy from st. Michacls was
John Quincy Barnum, of Murray,
Idaho. Barnum was one of the
eighty six passengers on tie steamer
Eliza Anderson. which was forced to
put into Dutch Harbor in disabled
condition, where she now lies. OF
the trip from Dutch Harbor to st.
AIichacls, Barnum says:
"One hundred and seven people
made the trip on the little schooner
Baranotf, on which there was no
comfort but standing room, to say
nothing of having to do the ontro
time without sleep. Although the
distance from Dutch Harbor to st.
Lichaels is only $50 miles, ton days
were consumed in making the trip,
owing TO strong wind that came
up when we were twenty miles from
St Nlichaels, and drove us out so
far that wo could plainly see the ST
berian coast. The schooner shipped
water until everything and every
body was soaked, and it took four
and one-hulf days to get back to
St Michaels. Owing to the crowd
ed condition of the schooner there
was actual suffering on board and
upon reaching St Michaols they
were worn out, and tho sight we
met there only added to our dis.
tress The result was that several
of us took the first opportunity to
get out.
Barnum said there had been no
news direct from Dawson City TO
ceived at st. Michaels for four weeks
previous TO his lenving, and no news
can possibly be brought by river
before next summer, rs ice was al
ready forming in the salt water at
tho mouth OF the river and the fresh
water must certain have been frozen
to considerable thickness ut that
time.
"In a month from now," ho said,
II do not believe there will be 100
persons left in st Michaels, as near
ly everybody is preparing to come
back. A great many left ere this
on the three master schooner Novel
ty, which was discharging cargo at
st. Michaelcs when we left"

But the people who must suffer

Experiments in the Use of Steel

In accordance with the desire of the
secretary of agriculture TO promote
more extended experiments in the
use of steel trackways on wagon roads,
the Office OF road. inquiry has made
arrangements with the Cambria iron
works, of Johnstown, Pa, for rolling
special rails for this purpose, these ar
| rangements to go into effect as soon
as definite orders from responsible par
ties amounting to one mile OF track
are received.
The director of road inquiry and the
engineerg of the iron company, after
much discussion, have agreed upon n
plan of track which promises to meet
all requirements. It uses no wood in
construction and no cross ties for sup
port, but consists of n simple inverted
trough or channel of steel for each
wheel with slightly raised bead on
the inside to guide the wheels, each
channel resting in bed of gravel and
the two tied together occasionally to
prevent Spreading.
Special devices for remounting are
pro, .tded at each joint. The bearings

take its place in our home, as in it

1t is idle to experiment with other

A Modern Journalistic Feat.

The rescue by the New York
journal of Evangclina Cisneros,
the beautiful young Cuban girl
whose prison sull'erings during the
past eighteen months have appeal
cd to the sympathy of all chrsten-
dom, is one of the most daring
achievements OF modern journal
ism, and deserves something more
than ordinary recognition.
Every one is familiar with the
story Of this unfortunate young
girls Imprisonment. Seldom in
the annals of savage warfare has
anything more brutal or atrocous
been recorded, and the fact that
Spain has repeatedly discouraged
all diplomatic efforts to accom-
the prisoners relief only makes
the story more revolving. Had it
not been for the timely work Of
the New York journal tho chapter
of horrors growing out of the inn
prisonment Of this lrail young
Cuban girl would have been com
pleted by her final deportation to
one Of the vile Spanish prisons in
Africa, there to suffer the most
cruel and inhuman tortures.
Seeing that the prisoners re-
lease could be accomplished in no
other way, the New York Journal,
with its characteristic audacity,
dispatched special representa-
tive to Cuba some four weeks ago
with instructions to effect the
young girls release, either by force
or stratcgcm, and to allow no con
sidcratiOn Of cost to stand i'm the
way of her rescue. Acting upon
these instructions the Journals
representative Immediately OH ar
riving in Cuba employed the as
sistance of the shrewdest Cuban al.
lies; and, after patiently arrang.
ing all prcliminaries, succeeded by
dint ofperseverance in accomplish
ing what diplomatic efforts had
utterly failed to bring out, viz,
the release of the young Cuban
prisoner.
Dispatches from the island state
that the escape Of Miss Cisneros
from prison is the greatest sensa-
tion of the year in Havanah, and
that even the recall of General
Weyler has become for the time
being matter Of secondary I'M
p0rtance. The adroit instrume ent
Of her relief is now working his
way back in disguise to the Unit.
cd States, and is expected to reach
home in a few days. The success
full enterprise of The New York
Journal in accomplishing the re.
lease Of the young prisoner whose
suilerings at the hands of the
Spanish authorities in Cuba have
filled the civilized world with hor-
ror, is as noble as it is brilliant.

WILL NOT STARyE.
Moro Encouraging Report from tho
Gold Fields of Alaska.
ssiner Who Nns Been in Yukon Coup-
try Five Years Says More Is to
Dc Feared from Cold
Than Hunger.

Hope for those who have friends in
the Klondikc is held out by Frank Cry
der, who returned to Seattle, Wash, on
the steamer Humboldt, after having
spent five years in the Yukon. He does
not believe there will be any deaths
from starvation, though he admits that
food will be scarce. Cryder says that
lack OF shelter is more serious condi-
tion confronting the miners in the gold
belt than starvation. He states that the
closing of the company stores at Daw-
son WAS n temporary eXpedient merely
10 prevent spectators from corncring
all the provisions in the country and
thereafter holding supplies at fabulous
prices.
at is not proposed to allow this" con-
tinued Cryder. 'rhe miners have de-
termined that any man selling food
must do so at the company's prices.
These arc fixed and will not be allowed
TO go higher. Where so many people
are together and can Interchange, food
goes n long way. An outfit that would
last one man year can be made to hold
out is months by judicious trading. Do
not understand that l am advising any
one 10 go there this winter. / am simply
stating these facts to encourage those
who have friends in the north.
"Lacll of shelter will, in my opinion,
be responsible for more suffering in the
IIlondike than will famine. 1t costs
81 900 for Il fair log cabin already built
and the time and labor in construct.
ing new one would amount to about
the same. There were not over 10C
houses in Dawson when left, while in
the city were 1000 people. In the
gulches are being built huts to shelter
those who labor in the mines. Where
newcomers with light outfits and empty
pockets will lay their heads is an un-
solved problem"
AS to the mining outlook, Cryder de.
clared that So, 900, 900 will be taken this
winter from the claims on Bonanza and
Eldorado creeks, while from the Birch
Miller and Munoolt districts will be
washed about 100000.

In SEVERAL papers l saw the statement
that somebody had seen five fve-gallon

in that country ever heard of such q
