with the tale OF the argonauts the story of gold Its
very mention brings up vision of the days when the
Pacific Coast weeks away from civilization when
long trains aboriously crossed the palms. or ships
came around the Horn bringing loads of brave and
adventurous Americans ready to cast their lots in
new and untried realm.
That the of these bold blazers of the trail of
fortune should have banded is not strange They
have memories to preserve, legends to perpetuate a
pride in the achievements of ancestry The pioneers
were brave lot They faced dangers unknown
They to this eager to partake of the riches
which had told them awaited but ready for
whatever there should be for their hands do They
were not mere SPECTATORS and they did not shrink
from any duty. The realm they found wilderness
they made to blossom They founded here a great
commonwealth. They gave to its upbuildng their
best efforts. Some of them lived to see the result
The sons OF these men this week will meet at San
Jose, and best wishes will be with them They have

consented to give the right-of-way.
After this approval by Agent Rice at

THE SCHOOL OF MINES.

In his report to the board OF regents
Prof. Bleke, director of the school OF
mines of the territorial university
says:
SIN submitting my report of the
work of mining for the month of
January, l inclose for Jour informa-
tion tabular report cf the sums re-
ceived for each month of the year
1897, amounting in the total to 3d.
O64. Is against $368. So in 1895, and
$7l.05 in 1895 / consider this to be
a most satisfactory progress. The
indications.are that this progress viii
be, continued and exceeded in the
current year, the receipts for January
being $207, which you will note is in
strong contrast with the amount ta-
ken in January 1897, viz: $4,000,
before the so cent rate was esta blish-
ed by the legisl ,ture Of April last.
The average rect ipts per month for
the lirst three months of 1897 under
the former rates for assaying, was
$32. SO and for the nine months fol
lowing, or from April to December,
inclusive (fnd including the summer
vacation), the average was SlO3.o0
per month, an increase of over 66 per
cent. We nay sav- that the influence
of the school Of mines and i.s value
to the public have corresIondingiy
increased.
In regard to the so cent rate es-
tabllshed hy the Legislature, am sat !
is6ed that, it has worked well, and
chat to great degree the object of
the legislature to promote prospecting
and mining has been obtained | do
not Think that it hurts the business of
local assayprs. but rather thaG they
are benefited by the greater activity
in mining operations.
The 30 cent rate is not less than
the current rate in several of the
assay laboratories in Denver and other
places. as I have taken pains to. ascer
tain. Some assayers, when large
number of assays are offered together
make a rate AS low as 20 cents aP
assay.
By increasing the business of assay
ing hy legitimate business methods,
by pro,nptitude of returns and the
accuracy of the work, / can probably
double our receipts without 'ncreas
ing our expenses more than 20 per
cent, and so make the assaying rot
only self sustaining and profitable IN
money as we'll as in educational re-
suits"

sixth artesian well now flowing in

stronger fow than the first, measur-

combined flow Of both well Mr.. G..
will will lie able to irrigate twenty
acres of corn, beans and vegetables,

siuk enough wells to lrr1gate his en-
tire acreage. several ranchers are
busy sinking wells, and if all succeed

many miles. The striking of artesian
water has proven loon to the IN
dustrious people mere, and with suffi-
cient wells to irrigate they will be-
independent of the ditch system which

the wells have shown a visible de-
crease in the flow, and if anything

MAY USE DYNAMITE.
A Congregation Declares War
Against Pastor.

Bridgeport, Conn, March lL-Indca-
tions today are that the trouble in ST.
Johns Slavonian Church is fast APP
preaching a crisis. Women of the con-
gregation have taken hand in the fight
against their pastor, the Rev. Father John
Pribyl, warning him to leave the city
within fifteen days if he would escape
with his life.
Police are closely watching Father Pri-
byrs residence, fearing that it will be
blown up the priest having defied his
enemies, announcing that he will remain
in spite of their threats.
The trouble in the church began several
months ago, when the Rev. Father For
manek was assigned to the pastorate by
the Catholic bishop of this diocese. Mem
bers of the congregation objected TO Faith
er Formanek, on the ground that he was
not SlaVonian. They made things as
disagreeable as possible for the new pas
tor. and after only a few weeks he de-
cided to get out To avoid further strife.
His parishioners were jubilant over
what they considered a victory, and VOW
ed that as they were supporting the
church they would have pastor to their
liking. They confidently expected that
their demands would be granted, and
tAtAt HdS great IMMIGRATION. therefore,
when the bishop indicated his displeasure
at the attempt TO dictate TO him by the
appointment of Father Pribyl, German
American.
When the priest came on from Penn
sylvania to take charge of the parish. he
found the doors of the church locked and
bolted. Members of the disturbing ele-
ment had heard OF his coming and had
decided to bar him from the church
Kind words and moral suasion were of
no avail. Being a determined man. the
priest broke open the door. Having es-
tablished himself as pastor under such
dinlculties he thought that the parishion-
ers would be taught lesson and that the
trouble would end. But il had only be-
gun. The disturbers now have won many
women over to their side. A communica-
ton signed by one hundred of the women
was received by the pastor yesterday. In
1t he was given fifteen days to give I'D
his passionate. Dire threats of Conse-
Quences TO follow a refusal were embodied
In the memorial. Father Pribyl only
laughed.
The priest insists that he will still be
pastor of ST. Johns fifteen days, and even
fifteen years hence. unless death or his
ecclesiastical superiors shall remove him.

GROOM-ELECT SEEKS DEATH.
On His Wedding Day He Tries to
End His Life

Southampton, /. l.. March Hired
erick Brotz, a Swiss. thirty years old,
was to have been married yesterday,
but an hour before the time arrived for
the ceremony he attempted to take his
life by cutting his throat. and now he is
in a critical condition.
Brotz came to Southampton from New
a shoe store. He has done a good bus
mess. but his health has been failing
for some time and he has frequently
been heard to say that he would not
live long.
Brotz became acquainted about six
months ago with Margaret Koberger,
and they became engaged to be mar
ried. The ceremony was to have taken
place at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
About / o'clock Mrs. Josiah Foster. a
nefghbor, saw a glass crash through a
window in the upper part of the build
ing where Botz lives.
Mrs. Foster. thinking something un-
usual had happened called to George
Morris, proprietor of a photograph
studio nearby Morris entered BTotz's
store and was shocked to find Brotz
sitting on his bed with gashes in his
throat and wrist Morris ran for as
sistance. Dr. Nugent was quickly at
the side of the injured man. but could
do little for him, giving as his opinion
that Brotz could not live but short
time.
When asked why he wished to end
his life Brotz said he was i'll and did not
think he ought to marry.
Five or six letters lay upon a stand

KILLED BY HER LOVER.
a Woman Stran2led by "A Negro With
Whom She Lived.

New York, March 11.-Kate A. Smith,
twenty-four years old, was strangled
TO death in a room she occupied on the
second floor of No. 327 West Thirty
seventh Street last night. Lou Pallison,
colored. with whom she lived, said that
he had killed her out of jealousy. He
then fled from the house and escaped.
Although many detectives were sent
out close on his heels, he has not been
caught. No sounds of a struggle were
heard in the room, and when the door
was opened even the bed on which the
woman lay was undisturbed. She was
still breathing, but died in a few min
utes without having spoken. Marks on
her throat told how the murder had
been committed.
Miss Smith was a waitress in a res
taurant on West Twenty-fifth Street
Pallison did no work at all. He was at
home all day yesterday. The woman
came home from the restaurant about
$50 o'clock, and went at once to her
Pallison came out and locked the door
behind him.
He went to the door of Mrs. Kate
Lees apartment, in the rear of his own,
and called her into the hall Handing
her the key of his room he told her that
he suspected the woman he called his
wife, and for that reason he had killed
her. Then he ran down the stairs into
the street and toward Eighth Avenue.
He was not seen again.
