Sheriff Holcomb Of San Bernardino coun-
ty was here last evening and made an UNI
successful search for bike thief, who some
days ago rented a wheel from dealer in
that city. since when he has not returned.
The man gave his residence as this city,
but. as he is not known here, it is possible
that this tale Of his was part of a well-laid
plan to get away with the wheel.
J. N. Newman, an old resident of this city,
has son who is one of the crew of the
Baltimore. Young Newman enlisted about
two years ago, since which time he has been
serving on the ship named about all the
time. Newman pere was made happy today
by receiving assurances that his boy was
not one of the men injured during Dewey's
recent fight with the Spanish fleet at Ma
Mia. Young Newman is one of the firemen
Of the Baltimore.
DR.. Ruby of this city is a part owner in
one of the rich placer mines in the Virginia
Dale mining district in San Bernardino
county, and he yesterday received a nice
consignment Of gold from his partners at
the mine.
Several trainloads of sheep have passed
over the Santa Fe line here in the past few
days, and there are more to come. Today
about 40 cattle cars were taken through the
city, southbound, to be used, It Is UNDER
stood, in transporting sheep from the dry
plains of Orange county to the better feed
to be found in the Arizona territory coun-
try at the present time.
The manner of treatment accorded the
volunteers who went from this part 81 the
country to San Francisco, as reported from
headquarters, is not going to make men
over-anxious to go to the front with the
next call. The fact that the men were in
camp for almost week in city like San
Francisco and in a country so rich as this
without blanket being supplied them or
an overcoat to keep them warm in the thick
fogs, is a disgrace. and one that will have
effect.
w. 8. Collins and W. Noble, who are the
owners Of fine mines in the southern part OF
Nevada state have just received word
from their foreman there to the fleet that
he has completed 25-foot drift from the
bottom Of 75-foot shaft, in search Of the
handing wall, and that so far the latter has
not been reached. The ore for the entire
distance of the Is feet prospects about on an
average of SO per ton. With the above news
came word to the effect that the new camp
which is known as Cotton, is greatly excited
over the discovery Of very rich placer dig
gings. One man recently washed an ounce
and quarter of gold out of 80 shovelfuls OF
dirt, and that, too, with dry washer. The
discovery Of such rich prospects in the
placers has caused rush Of quartz miners
to that kind of prospecting, and the news
has also started fresh rush Of miners &c
the camp from adjoining camps.
