SEVERAL STORES BURNED
Fire at Spring and Fifth Streets Last
Night

There was $1,000 fire last night about 10
o'clock in the one-story frame building
owned by John H. Jones at the southeast
corner of Fifth and Spring streets. Prompt
work by the department saved the buildings
from being consumed
The cause of the fire is not positively
Known, but 1t is thought to have been
started by spontaneous combustion in a pile
of oily rags in the secondhand furniture
store of William Goldring at SOC South Spring
street. These rags were used to polish fur
niture, and were very inflammable. The
flames spread rapidly, and the roof of the
adjoining stores was soon on fire. The de-
partment soon had the fire under control.
and prevented the flames from sprea ding
to the other frame buildings. The principal
loser was Mr.. Godrng. He carried a stock
of $1,000, on which there was $500 insurance.
At 504 South Spring street, the establish
ment of the KNAPP Sign company, was en-
tirely burned out, entailing loss of 500. A,
Forman, tailor at 5O21s, lost everything.
amounting to $780, and c. H. Tuerk a bar
Der, at SOP, lost about 500 worth of stuff. s.
Gorticam, the bicycle dealer, lost $500
worth of stuff, of which $i0O was insured.
The roof of the Jones building was burned
off and there was some damage done by
water, this loss being about $500, on which
there Is some insurance.

A Strike in Quicksilver

A couple Of years ago several prominen.
business men of Vallejo became interested
in quicksilver mine in this county, which
seemed to offer more than ordinary in
ducements. The mine is at Corona, and Is
incorporated under the name of the valle-
10 Quicksilver Mining company. Tunnels
were drifted and furnaces and retorts con-
structed at great expense, but the usual
difficulties were met with, and Dame For
tune, that at first appeared too willing to
smile on the project, faded away into thin
air. and for a time the mine was nearly
abandoned, but the indomitable spirit
which is characteristic of our business
men, took on new life, operations were
again begun at considerable outlay, and "a
drift was started in a different direction
with the most brilliant prospect of all par
ties interested becoming residents on the
sunny side of Easy street.
A ledge of fabulous richness has been
struck, and, from samples sent to Vallejo
the mine will soon become noted as the
richest ever uncovered on the coast. Sew
eral tons of ore are now at the furnaces
and, from a test made last week, out of a
retort of 500 pounds 300 pounds of quick
silver were produced.-Calistoga Inde-

Other Workers

In addition to the work in progress at the
Red Cross rooms about fifty or more ladies
of the war board auxiliary and relief
corps were busy at the Hall of Industry on
Main street making abdominal bands. The
prospects are. judging by the busy fingers
engaged, the sewing machines running and
the piles of flannel waiting for the needle
that large proportion of the fifteen hun
bred said to be needed will be sent from
there.
At the Friday Morning club rooms there
were about a dozen ladies busy all day,
out of club membership Of $50. The sewers
worked faithfully, every woman of them.
and number of articles were given out to
be made by persons who called for them. In
various other places church societies, the
relief corps and other organizations were
furnishing their quotas Of articles, and it is
probable that the end of the week will see
large shipment to the soldier boys In San
Francisco.

IN SELF-DEFENSE
E. n. Martin Justified in Shooting
Horse Dealer Coberlv

Justice Owens discharged E. H. Martin
yesterday at his examination on the
charge of assault to kill Jesse B. Coberly
The injured man was shot twice on May
G, and though one of the bullets passed
clear through his body, he recovered in
ten days. The affair occurred in front of
]. Cooks tannery and wool pulling fac
tory on North Main street, just south OF
the old Kuhrts-street bridge.
Coberly and Martin had been in partner
ship for some time previous to the shoot
ing, but Martin became satisfied that Co.
berly was getting the better of him in
their business of horse dealing, SO he dis
solved the partnership. AS Coberly had
made a number of threats against Mar
tin and had given him a beating on one
occasion, Martin, who is partially Grip
Piled, armed himself with a 32-caliber re-
volver. On the. afternoon of the shooting
Martin led an old horse to Cooks tannery
for the purpose of selling the animal.
Coberly and another man were there. and
the former asked Martin what he wished
for the horse. Martin replied $780, but

nothing, having any bearing on the where-
abouts of the father, was developed The
deceased took his life because of III health
and not because of shame over the disgrace
his father had brought upon the family.
Louis e. Charnley, a brother OF the sui
eide, testified regarding the deceased ana
his life in California. They came to this
city about six months ago on account of
the health of Charles. They went to Pasa-
dena and remained there a short while
and then removed to Azusa and worked on
a ranch. 1t did not improve the health Of
Charles, so finally they gave up their po-
sitions, and about three weeks ago re-
turned to Los Angeles, Charles taking
room at Peniel hall while Louis went to
the Watauga block on North Broadway.
The witness stated that his brother had
threatened several times to kill himself on
account of his Ill health, and on last
Saturday morning they held their last
conversation. On that occasion Charles
had appeared very melancholy on account
Of his stomach trouble. Louis heard of
the suicide late that day, and went to
Peniel hall, but was informed that the
body had been removed to the morgue
Rev. Robert w. Clelland of Azusa testi-
fed regarding the young mems having
worked at Azusa for some time and
Charles health not having been benefited
by 1t. c. c. Crawford related the circum-
stance of discovering the body at Pencil
hall. There was a revolver by the side of
the body. which was in chair. and but
one cartridge. which had been exploded,
was in the gun. The jury returned YER
dict of suicide In accordance with the facts.
1t appears that Charles was reasonably
we'll provided with money. He had an ac-
count of 1924 and some odd cents in the
Illinois Savings and Trust company of
Chicago, and about 1910 in the Security
Savings bank Of this city. He had signed
a blank on each of these institutions in
order that his brother could fill them out
and draw whatever balance was due.
The body will be shipped to Chicago to-
morrow for interment. Nothing new has
been found regarding the father. The Of
ficers are inclined to believe that he never
was in this city. but migl1e have been in
the vicinity of Azusa

LACHAUME, SOLDIER
Will Return to France to Do Military
Duty

Monsieur Anne Lacchaume, the distln-
guished pianist and composer, who delight
ed the music-loving public of this city
with his mastery playing, has been APP
prised through the French consul located
in San Francisco, that France has called
on him for military duty, and Lachaume,
who has a loyal spot in his heart for the
land of his birth, will answer the call OF
the country to which he owes allegiance,
and will leave for France shortly after
his arrival from a concert tour in the
southern part of the state.
When Monsieur Lachaume was inter-
viewed by the San Francisco Call in regard
to the course he intended to pursue In the
affair, he said: Yes, 1t is true that
have decided to return to my native coun-
try and serve the regulation year In the
army. 1t is the CONSUMPTION, you know.
According to the law as at present es-
tablished all citizens Of France are liable
to CONSUMPTION at the age OF 20. This is,
as you know, a compulsory enrolment of
individuals for military or naval service.
It was established during the French rev.
olution, before which period the armies of
my country had been recruited by "olun-
tary enlistment just as they are In this
free and glorious United States.
IT left France just before I reached the
age of 20, for 1 was at the critical point of
my musical education at that time, and to
have Joined the army would have been
disastrous to my musical future, for pi-
amos are not part of a soldiers equip
ment. I consequently escaped the con-
scription and came to America. where
pursued my musical studies in an unin-
terrupted manner. But France has lately
been rounding up those Of her subjects
who have eyaded soldiers duty, and unless
one has been made a citizen of the United
States he is legally bound to comply with
her DEGREES. Should 1 ever make a visit
there, they could make 1t very disagree
able for me, so I will go Of my own volition
and have the ordeal over.
my wife, known as Nine. Pillar Norm,
who has achieved great success in high
class pantomime. will be we'll provided for
during my absence. as she has accepted
lucrative engagement with May Irwin in
the latters new play.
IT will leave for France probably at the
end of this month, and the very first thing
that will do when arrive there will be
to give a grand benefit concert, by which
means I hope to make enough money to
keep me in comfort during the period of
my enforced enlistment, for I can assure
you that the life Of a private in the French
army is far from pleasant, and as to the
food-well, your American soldiers can
consider their rations as French dinners
compared to the eatabes furnished to the
French privates."

Low Grade Ore

The Little Butte mill is handling "a ore.
and this would be all waste were It not for
the foresight Of the company in procuring
a mill of this character to treat this class
of ore right at the mine, where the han
ding of 1t is accomplished at the minimum
expense There Is in all the mines of this
section an abundance of low-grade ore
that will not pay to treat when it has to
be shipped away and treated at custom
mills, but which will yield profit when
economically treated at home. In the
Little Butte there is plenty Of ore that viii!
mill, say, IS per ton at a very good profit at
home, but should 1t be necessary to ship
this ore. 1t can very readily be seen that
the profit would be small II, indeed, there
would be any profit at all. 1t is not the
Intention Of the company to mill any but
these low-grade ores in the new MILL but
1t is that when all is in smooth running or
der, that ore running as low as 81 per ton
can be treated at a small profit.-Rands-

A 81, 500, 900 Strike

One of the richest strikes ever recorded
in California was made at the old Gwin
mine, in Calaveras county, and Is another
feather In the cap of Superintendent F. F.
Thomas. whose rehabilitation of the Ken
nedy mine in Amador gave him a world
wide reputation as bonanza mining en-
gineer. The latest ore body Encountered
In the Gwin is large In extent and of high
grade. and is estimated to be worth 81, $780,
900.
The strike was made week ago today
on the 1000-foot level in running south for
connection with the old workings. The
vein is six feet in width and between 300
and 400 feet long and is believed to be the
same as that on the 14O0-fo Level at the
north end of the property which would
give 1t Q depth of 400 feet al the least. This
would mean an ore body of 1000 tons,
AS has been said, the ore body is of high
grade, running from $50 to $50 ton. and,
taking the intermediate figure, represents
value of 1,660 900. AS the cost of mining
and milling at the Gwin does not exceed
$3.50 ton, the profit on this development
alone would amount to $l.440.OO0.
The owner of the mine is the Gwin Mine
Development company, close corporation.
In which M. w. Belshaw of San Fran
cisco, David Mcclure, jr., of Oakland. SEN
ator VOORHEES, of Amador. Superintendent
F. F. Thomas and J. ]. Crawford, former
state mineralogist. hold the large blocks
of the 10000 shares of the capital stock.

Chinese by representing themselves as
United States revenue officers, collecting a
war tax, have not yet been arraigned in the

dozen Chinese have been located who were
done out of 50 each, presumably by the pair
now under arrest. The officers desire, how

Gold in the Colorado

That there is gold in the sands of the
Colorado river of Arizona, and that. too.
in paying quantities, is being demonstrated
in more than one instance. and 1t now looks
as If there would be placer camps at every
bar on the Colorado river that shows gold
in anything like paying quantities.
The latest placer locations made on the
Colorado river we're made near Lees Ferry,
In this county, by syndicate of Pennsyl-

and is the problem it has to solve, and

have found the solution.

Pixies Peak Tunnel Collapse

The Pixies Peak tunnel proposition,
which was to run fifty miles of tunnel
through the range and wander around
under the Cripple Creek district in
more or less bewildering way, according
to the Denver Republican. recently came
to grief In the London stock market The
details Of the transaction which caused
the collapse are not dwelt upon, to any
great extent by the London papers, but
a recent issue Of the Anglo-Colorado Min
ing Guide announces that the scheme IL

the few details that have been received.
1t sppears that the main difficulty in the
way was the capitalization-s50.0O0 900. The
British public like big things, and the pro-
moter, who is New York broker and not
Colorado man at all. gave them a COM
pany with large enough capital to sat-
fsfy the widest ambitions. but when 1t
was found that the greater part of the
immense capital was to be expended on
the mere chance Of finding something, and
