SINALOA PLACER DISTRICT
Mexicans' Rich Annual Cleanup
Crude Mining Methods.

San Antonio Jan. 27-J. r. MarmiOn.
a practical mining man, arrived here
to-day from a remote section Of the
state Of SinaIOa, Mex, where he has
been engaged in mining operations for
the past three years, and said to a cor
respondent:
In my opinion there are one or two
placer districts in SinalOa, Mex, that,
if properly prOSpected, would reveal to
the world a veritable KlOndilxe. My be-
lief is based upon personal experience
and observations while in that region
the past three years, and from the fact
that whole villages of natives turn out
every year during the rainy season
with their wooden pans and ancient
methods of mining and clean up from
SIS, 600 to $780, coo in one season. They
only practice surface workings. A few
months ago native found nugget of
gold near Mazatlan which he sold in the
latter city for S1,210. One of the finest
placer districts in that state is around
Bacubirito. Placers situated about 40
miles northeast of MaZatlan from an
other good district There are few
Americans or foreigners in that whole
region, and the richness of the placer
districts is comparatively unknown to
the outside world. The richest gold
mines in the state are named San Jose
de Gracia, which are owned by a COM
pany. composed of Americans and Mex
leans. The shipment OF gold bullion
from these mines run from $100 900 to
$125,0O0 per month. The Rosario silver
mine, owned by John L. Bradbury, the
California millionaire is situated about
IS miles southeast of Mazatlan. An
offer of s1.500,0O0 for this property was
recently refused

place more than ordinarily attractive.
In all there will be 200 rooms, each SO
arranged that it will be as well lighted
as any other room in the house. There
will be two elevators and a Turkish
bath unexcelled by anything in the city.
The hotel will be run on the European
plan. 1t is expected that a buffet and
cafe will be run in connection with the
place.
E. G. Simmons of the z. G. Simmons
Hardware company is said to be one of
the principal moneyed men who are
backing the project. When seen yester-
day Mr. Simmons said:
Yes, 1 am interested in it, Tt ds

my property at the northwest corner of
TWenty-seventh and Olive streets. Mr.

Wanderings of an Cvercoat.

When A. D. Hubbard was taken over
to the state penitentiary, he borrowed
a fur overcoat of an old man named
Gary. When the coat was sent back to
Topeka it was taken to the police sta
ton. where the officers thought it was
a charity package. Accordingly, it was
turned over to Police Matron Thorpe
The latter found a most needy man
who was in need of an overcoat. It
was a preacher who had but little of
this worlds goods. She gave it to him.
Then Mr.. Gary came after his fur over
coat When he learned what DISPOSE
ton had been made of his garment, he
became indignant and talked about a
damage suit. But he couldn't exactly
locate the blame. The preacher will
be asked to give up the coat, and 1t
will be returned to it's owner.

FRISCO COALFAMINE.
The Scarcity Due to the Pressing of
Barges Into the Alaska Trade.

San Francisco, Jan. 27.-It is all due
to the rush to the Klondike, say the
coal dealers when asked to explain the
cause of the present coal famine, and
then they add with a unanimity that
shows they know whereof they speak,
that the situation will grow worse IN
til the return of warm weather lessons
the demand from household consumers.
There is not a pound of coal in the
market available for the retail trade,
and only one cargo is due to arrive be-
fore Sunday.
The ship Columbia, under charter to
r. d. Chandler, is expected at any time
with $3.50 tons from the East yelling
ton mines, but it will not supply the or
ders already on file.
The big steamer Burmah is due Sum
day with 4,500 tons of coal for John
Rosenfeld's Sons, and the Bristol ought
to arrive Monday with $500 tons for
the Dunsmuir company.
AS an instance of the desperate sit
uation and the scarcity of steam YES
sells, the Southern Pacific company was
obliged to charter the Pacific Mail pas
Senger steamer San Jose and send 1t to
the Puget Sound for a cargo of coal
The San Jose returned last Sunday
with 1,5O0 tons, which she is now dis
charging at Port Costa
Every steam schooner, even, that can
make the voyage to Alaska and can be
secured at any price has been gobbled
up for the KlOndike trade, leaving the
coal and lumber dealers in helpless
position.
A visit to the various wholesale coal
dealers yesterday disclosed condition
that cannot fail to cause anxiety among
all classes, and not one of the mer-
chance for Improvement during the

LOS ANGELES WHEELMEN
 IN FATAL COLLISION

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3.-A fatal col liston occurred between a couple of wheelmen near the corner of Third and Main streets this morning, one of the men dying at the Receiving Hospital about two hours after he was hurt. while the other was taken to his home for medical treatment, as he, too, was quite badly bruised and cut up about the head.
 The accident occurred a few minutes before o'clock. s. w. Page, a sales man in the employ of Charles Gassen, was coming south on Main street at a rapid pace. Just before he reached the corner of Third he suddenly cut across the street and was struck broadside by Herman Glass, young man living at Mo-. 40 Wall street, who was also riding at a rapid rate of speed. The shock was something terrific and Page was thrown violently to the cobble pave ment. striking on the back of his head, while Glass. went flying in the opposite direction, also falling on the pavement en his face and head.
 A number of people at once rushed to the assistance of the men, but 1t was at once apparent that nothing could be done for Page, who was unconscious and bleeding from the ears. indicating that the skull had been fractured.
