Why the Santa Fe Has Lost Prestige in
 California.
President Ripley Coming to Investigate Recent Com
 plaintS.
Change in Management May Be One Result of His Visit to This
 State.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, March 21.-Within the next two days President Ripley of the Santa Fe system will arrive in Cal- ifornia. He is now at Albuquerque, N. M., and General Manager Nevin of the Santa Fe and Pacific will meet him at Gallup and accompany him on his westward trip.
 The object of President Ripley's visit at this time is given out at the general offices of the company in this city as simply an inspection of the company's property, but it is understood that more significance attaches to his com ing than the officials here will admit. The policy pursued by General Man ager Nevin in handling the Santa Fe system in Southern California has given rise to a great deal of criticism. These strictures have come from indl- viduals, firms and shippers generally, who have in the past been stanch friends of the Santa Fe road, but who are now up in arms against the road. The result has been the creation of a public sentiment in this section of the State which not only has disastrous effect on the compnay's business, but which also has been source of annoy ance to President Ripley.
 A great many who could not oDtaln a satisfactory adjustment from Gen eral Manager Nevin have referred their differences to the presidents office, carrying them over MT. Nevin and ap- pealing directly to the head of the road. President Ripley, while here, will, so it is understood, investigate the causes of complaint that have been made against Nevin and ascertain what foundation really exists for them. The president will also endeavor to place the Santa F'e road in its former position in the esteem of the people Of Southern California, who have always looked upon it as a safeguard against any Southern Pacific eXactions.
 Nevin's friends assert that he will have no difficulty in proving to Presi- dent Ripley that he has acted wisely in handling the shippers in this section. Nevertheless a change in management is looked for as one of the possibilities of his visit.

 QUElLED BY FORCE.
Trouble on the Schooner Morrill, on the Voyage to
 Alaska.

SEATTLE, March 21.-The schooner Boring Sea returned to-day from the Copper River country. Her destination was Disenchantment Bay. but there were too many icebergs there to make navigation safe, so the twentysix pas sengers were landed at Yakutat, small village on the coast. Captain Grotte reports that but little progress has been made by the gold hunters now at Disenchantment Bay. The bay has been frozen over during the win ter, but the ice is beginning to float out on the tide.
 According to the reports brought down by the Boring Sea there has been serious trouble between the skipperand passengers on the schooner Morrill,, now at Yakutat. Before reaching there ad- verse winds were encountered and she was driven some distance out of her course. During this time the passen- gers became mutinous, and the captain quelled a row by a liberal display Of guns in the hands of himself and crew. Further trouble ensued, but without serious result.

STRIKE OF GOLD AT CLOVERDALE Paying Ore Discovered on a SOnOma County
 Ranch.
Specimens Assay Four Hun dred Dollars to the
 Ton.
Vein Uncovered by a Farm Manager While Excavating for New
 Dwelling.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTA ROSA, March 21.-Some two months ago A. NJ. Daly, manager of the Eckert ranch, near Moulton Hill, about half mile beyond Cloverdale, while excavating on a side hill for barn and house, found promising gold ore. He sent some of the ore to San Francisco to be assayed and the report came back Al cents to the ton" This was not re- markable, but was not bad for surface rock Later more ore was sent down and this assayed s Is to the ton. This was encouraging, and more rock, se- cured after considerable labor from the heart of the vein four feet wide, was sent to San Francisco.
 This third report of the assayers has been received and it has set all the tongues in Cloverdale to wagging and caused nine-tenths of the male popula- ton to dream of wondrous riches within their grasp. The last shipment of ore assayed S400 to the ton. This is the best report ever received from Sonoma County gold ore.
 The ranch upon which the find was made is owned by Mrs. Cora E. Eckert, daughter of MT. Daily. MT. Daily was in town Cn Monday and filed mineral claims on the gold-bearing land this being necessary under the law, not withstanding Mrs. Eckert already owns the land on patent right.
 Last Friday blasting with powder was begun, and on Tuesday a ton of rock will be sent to San Francisco to be smelted. If this ore proves as rich as the last lot sent down the latest ma- chinery will be put in and the vein worked in real earnest. The ledge is four feet wide. Its length is not known, but high grade ore has been found in five different places as far as 150 yards apart MT. Daly, who has made two fortunes in California mines, and who is recognized as an authority on min eralogy and geology, says:
 'I know we have found gold ore in paying quality and quantity"
 MT. Daily has arranged to leave about April 10 for Trinity County, where he has valuable mining interests. He has a claim adjoining the famous Graves Bros Blue Jay mine. It is located in the bed of an ancient river and the dirt runs from cents to 50 cents to the pan. His plans are to work this mine in sum- mer and the Sonoma County property in the winter.

CAPTURE OF
 4 WILD MAN Pursued to His Gave and Taken After a Hard
 Fight.
This Most Peculiar Human Freak Frightened Farmers
 of Connecticut.
Hunger Compelled Him to Sally Forth and Finally Led to His
 Pursuit.
Special Dispatch to The Call

BOSTON, March 21.-After an excit- ing chase of three hours through the woods in the vicinity of Beacon Falls, Conn.,, a posse of citizens, headed py Chief Hosford of Naugatuck, late last night captured a wild man who mas been terrorizing residents of Connectl- cut for many months.
 The freak wore only a pair Of trouS- CTS, torn off at the knees, and his face and body were covered with long growth of shagrY hair. He was hunt ed from the outskirts of Naugatucks where he was spied by Dennis Ken- nedy, who gave the alarm, to his cave
 in the hills three miles from haDlta tion When he reached the mouth OF his cave he attempted to bar the way or his pursuers by letting down a door made of young trees. His captors were close on his heels however, ana the barrier was broken down and the queer object was dragged out. He fought like a tiger and it required the com bined efforts of eight men to subdue him.
 Instructions had been given to the pursuers, who were armed with clubs and reVolverS, not to shoot or strike the object of their chase, as it was desired to capture him alive. Once subdued ne was carried to the lookup, securely ironed. He talked in a rambling vein and said no harm could come 10 nm. as he had supernatural assistance.
 After some questioning he said his name was Charles Bradley, but reused to say where he belonged. In his cave were found kitchen utensils and a quantity of food-chickens and Vegeta- bles stolen from nearby farms. The man has been seen frequently of late lodging about farms, where 1t is be- lieved hunger had driven him.

VALPARAISO, March 1.-Chile is con- fronted by another ministerial crisis. The members of the Cabinet have been dis missed, and to Senor Eulojo Altamiraine has been entrusted the work of forming a new Cabinet. The confidence of all the political parties is now sought by the Government in view of the seriousness of internal and foreign affairs. In private circles one hears nothing but war talk. Generally it is believed that a conflict is unavoidable, but I have good reason to believe that Chile will not declare war. Argentina will not do so because she has too much to lose.
