Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN DIEGO, June "a. P. Cantlin OF
this city. one of the charterers of the
schooner Thomas S. Negus, has received
J. Allen, dated June II, the day the st.
Denis left San Rogue Bay for this port.
Mr.. Allen wrote just before the St Denis
sailed. He had just returned from
visit to Captain Geronimo Riberra of the
schooner Albina, which had arrived from
Guaymas, Mexico. with $4,000 worth of
merchandise for trading and six passen-
gers.
Captain Riberra brought the report that
a party of thirty Mexicans who had left
San Ignacio landing, on the gulf side,
about forty days before to go overland to
the mines had lost its way. and that the
entire party had persisted of thirst. Their
corpses. according to the report had been
discovered on the desert by another party.
There was a great deal of excitement at
GuaymaS over the reported discoveries at
Sierra Pintada. and parties were being or
ganiZed almost daily to go overland to the
Colorado River. thence down the river TO
mines Three other schooners owned by
the company possessing the Albina were
on the way to the placers from Guaymas,
and 1t is the evident intention of the Mex
leans to make a permanent camp there:
Mr.. Allen wrote that the Negus would
sail as soon as he could make up load
of passengers.
the thirty MeXicans persisted. as there
are no extensive deserts in that part OF
Lower California. There are numerous
small stretches of sand at intervals, how
ever but it seems unlikely that body
of thirty men would be entirely wiped out

SHIPPING FRUIT
BY WELLS-FAR
Fresno Growers Adopt
an Innovation.
RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS
FEASIBILITY OF THE PLAN
DEMONSTRATED.
Necessity of Refrigeration Done Away
With, and the Orchardist Is En-
abled to Select Market
himself.
RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, June 23.-Growers of green
fruit in this county have devised new
method of defeating the cupidity of the
refrigerator car combine. The plan is
to ship their products by express and
thereby do away altogether with the ne
cessity of refrigeration. An agreement
has been entered into with the Wells
Fargo Company by which the growers
have obtained reduced rates on all ship
ments of green fruit.
The plan was devised early in the
season by II. V. Armitage and number
of the local growers. Small consignments
of green fruits were sent to various parts
of the United States as an experiment,
and the returns left no doubt as to the
feasibility of the plan. 1t has been i'm
received during the last few days
The fruit shipped so far has been for
the, most part apricots, peaches, plums
and figs. Some of these have been sent
as far East as Chicago and New Or
leans and were found to be in good con-
ton to send carload consignments of fruit
to Chicago and Minneapolis in competi-
ton with the refrigerator companies.
The chief advantage of the plan accrueS
to the small grower. Heretofore it has
been necessary under the refrigerator sys-
TEN TO send whole carload or none at
all. Under the express plan a few boxes
at a time may be sent The result is
that where the small grower heretofore
has been limited to the local market,
which is often glutted, he now has opened
to him all the cities of the Western
States and even those as far East as
chicago and New Orleans.
