Eight hundred thousand dollars worth of stock was nut on the market to-day and found ready sale at the enormous valuation of $90, ,0Oo,00O for the property. The mine is by far the richest in the world and every dollars worth of it's stock could be sold here at that valuation. An examination of the books of the company discloses the fact that the mine would be great bargain at that sun, and representative of German syndicate is here for the purpose of purchasing every dollars worth of that stock that is put on the market, and it is not question of price at all, apparently. The mine during the past six years has paid net some $39,- 900 900 and there is thirty years ore in sight, according to scientific measure ments."

tEo. ATKINSON, ex-supervisor of Pima county, and prominent Republican of Arizona, in a letter to the Oasis says:
 will help sustain the present administra- tion in maintaining the Amcricane. flag wherever 1t has been planted, but while the government is spending many millions of dollars in endeayoring to improve the con dition of alien races abroad, hope that it will spend few millions in retaining that portion of the public domain known as the Arid West" and in keeping it and It's water supply and distribution for the benefit of the whole people, Including the forty mill lions of producers remaining at home.
 Mir. Atkinson's head is very level on this proposition.

ers at the funeral. Only one figure ap-
peared black and woeful in the spectral
group-that of Miss Altha Stenger, the
young woman TO whom, it now appears,
young Lands was engaged to be mar
ried 1t was inevitable that some would
have thought that love affair inquired
in the mysterious death of Lands, but
such an inference appears to be wholly
unWarranted.
Forgotten circumstances are remem-
bered now since the serious eXplolta-
ton of the suicide theory has be-
gun. It is recalled that before 8 o'clock
of the night Lands met his death some
women customers at the store re-
marked that the young grocer appeared
flushed and excited, and it Is SAID ne
pleaded with one of them that she
would defer her business with him until
another time.
Tonight the mystery of young Lam
dis death is deeper if possible, than on
the Wednesday morning when his pody
was found lying on the floor OF MS
store, his right hand covering ragged
wound next to his heart. 1t appears,
by the way, that young Lands did not
drink LIQUOR in MatZen's saloon, as was
enormously stated in the newspapers
and by individuals. AS matter or
fact. the three glasses of liquor which
he is declared to have taken on the
night of his death were obtained at
another place.

SEATTLE. Aug. 12-Ninety-five Klon-
dikers arrived here to-day on the steamer
Humboldt from Skaguay- They brought
gold dust. the value of which is esti-
mated by Purser Carroll at $3.50 900 The
richest miners aboard were H. c. Ander-
son and Michael Knudson, who own
claims on Ell Dorado Creek. They are
credited with $50 900 between them.
Passengers from Atlin bring report of
quartz discovery on Pine Creek. Lyman
FarweIl of Redlands, Cal, has lot of

Juneau, from Cooks Inlet. They are John
Johnson and E. r. Rowden, the last OF
the Boston expedition which rounded
Cape Nome over a year ago on the
schooner Robert l.. Richardson: Two

BOARDMAN, SHE
SAYS, BEGGED
FOR HER HAND
Mrs. Gladstone Makes
Her Deposition.
WANTS HALF A MILLION
SHE SAYS THE MILLIONAIRE
CRUELTY FoRSOoK HER.
Claims It Was the Defendants De-
ceased Wife That First Proposed
a Union Between Them on
Her Death.
WANTS HALF A MILLION
SHE SAYS THE MILLIONAIRE
CRUELTY FORSOoK HER.

Mrs. Elizabeth Gladstone made her dep
osition yesterday in the offices of Attor
ny Eugene Deuprey to be used in her ac
ton against Millionaire Joseph Bodrdman
of Oakland for breach of promise. For
her wounded feelings loss of companion
ship, love and affection and humiliation
Mrs. Gladstone seeks the modest sum of
$500, 900.
The attorneys first questioned the plain
tiff on the number of times she met
Boardman after the death of his wife.
She answered that they met five or six
times. the meetings usually being for the
purpose of talking over business matters,
but finally Mr.. Boardman talked of other
matters, including love. Hence the suit.
Mr.. BCardman was the next witness and
he added about the same amount of infor-
nation to the store already in the pos
session of the lawyers and an adjourn
ment was taken till Monday.
Mrs. Gladstone, who is the mother Of
thirteen living children, four now rest
ing in the grave beside the bodies of her
man must pay dearly for his actions in
wooing and winning her and then, just
as she was the happiest in the thought of
the life in store for her with a husband
as his wife a Miss Walker, who claims
youth, beauty and accomplishments.
Mrs. Gladstone says that time and again
Mr.. Boardman begged her TO become his
wife, the first time being but three weeks
after his Wife'S death. She finally con-
sented. stating. however, that he must
wait six months. The time had about
elapsed. She was busy preparing her
trousseau when the knowledge. of his ur-
faithfulness came to her. She further
recites a pathetic deathbed scene and her
parting with Mrs. Boardman. Mrs. Board
man, she says, fmplored her to be good to
her husband and said that she would be
| happy to see Mrs Gladstone installed in
her stead in the BOardman home as its
mistress and with that wish in mind
handed her the keys TO the house. Board
man saw this and when the funeral was
over and he had regained his composure
he hurried to Mrs. Gladstone with his
offer of marriage.
Mrs. Gladstone says that she has known
Boardman for twenty years; long
ago, she continues, she leased the house
| in which she now lives from Boardman
for a nominal rent. the agreement being
that she was finally to receive a deed.
/ Now she says BOardman has taken steps
! to nullify the agreement, his object be-
| ing to even up the suit she filed against
/ him for breach of promise.

GET STRENGTH AND HEALTH
FROM FOOD.

One of the surest ways to head off
and stop disease is TO make a complete
change in diet.
Food makes the body, and if your
body is i'll CT becoming so the symp-
toms are sort of signal flags hung up
by nature which plainly say: Give
me better building materials"
Heed the call and change your diet.
With good health a man or woman
can do things in this world. 1t may
be worth a fortune to you to learn of
the kind of food that rebuilds brains
and, in a way, reorganizes the whole
bodily structure.
Make breakfast of a dish of Grape
Nuts and cream, a slice of entire wheat
bread and a small bit of butter, some
fruit and a cup of Postum Cereal Coffee
(well made). For a hot morning the
Postum can be served cold with lemon
juice.
This plain, simple breakfast contains
the most powerful rebuilding elements
and goes to the system in such way
as to be readily assimilated without
needless effort.
In ten days time the person will ex-
perience such a change for the better
that he becomes a convert for life to
the plan of warding off disease by the
skillful selection of food.

the income from which is at present $500,
900 a year. The entire estate properties
are next described, and then Mrs Craven
says that none of the described properties
were disposed of by James G. Fair by Will,
this allegation being based on the defeat
of the trust clause.
she says; the estate is still in process
of administration and no proceedings
have been taken as required by section
1864 of the Code of Civil Procedure Tor
the purpose of determining the heirship
and title to the estate. Hence she makes
the claim that as the widow of the de
ceased she is entitled to an undivided
one-third of all the real property of the
estate and to one-third of the profits, a s
well as the same fraction of the personal
property, after the payment of the lega-
cies debts and expenses of admin1stra-
ton have been deducted, and she prays
judgment accordingly.
In an accompanying petition Mrs.
Craven prays that an order be made, Is
provided by section 1864, requiring all per-
sons interested in the estate to set forth
the nature of their claims on or before
a day to be specified by the court, not
less than sixty days nor more than four
months from the date of the order, ana
that the court ascertain and declare the
rights of all persons to the estate their
interests therein and to whom dlStrlbu-
ton should be made
The petition cf Charles L. Fair. Theresa
A Oelrichs and Virginia Fair for partial
distribution of the personal property of
to and resisted by Mrs. Craven. In her
pleadings in answer to the petition Mrs
Craven denies the allegations therein that
the petitioners are the only heirs 81 of the ne
deceased capitalist and alleges that IN
truth and in fact she, the said Nette X
Craven Fair i the SURVIVING widow yhoN.ad and {!
one of the heirs at law of the deceased.
She denies that they are entitled to all
of the property, and that she. as ct1 such
widow is entitled to one-third as set forth
above. Mrs Craven further contends that
the court has no Jurisdiction, authority or
warrant of law to adjudge or decree the
distribution of the personal property and
hence she prays that the proceedings for
distribution in tituted by Charles l.. Fair,
Theresa A. Oelrichs and Virginia Fair
be finally dismissed.
Another petition in which Mrs. Craven
demands that me findings of fact con-
,clusions of law and decree of partial dls-
tribution of real estate to Charles L. Fair,
Theresa A. Oelrichs and Virginia Fair,
made and rendered April 49,, 1887, be va
Gated and set aside, was filed. As befors
she sets forth that as decedent's widow
she is entitled to one-third thereof and
that the proceedings were without legal
warrant and i violation of the statutes.

THE DISTRIBUTION ORDERS ARE

Through the Defeat of the Trust
Clause an Opening Has Been

cation.
THE DISTRIBUTION ORDERS ARE
CONTESTED.

Judge Slacks decision declaring the
trust clause of the will of the late James
G.. Fair invalid has left an opening for
Mrs. Nettie r. Craven to play her biggest
card in the game for the dead capitalist S
millions. Mrs. Craven has marshaled her
forces around her. and yesterday, through
her attorneys, w. w. Foote, Pence &
Pence, benson, Oatman & benson and A
Ruef, filed a number of pleadings with the
County Clerk their purpose being to es-
tablsh, If possible, her claim that she is
the widow of the late Senator Fair and
entitled to one-third of his entire estate.
The executors of the will, the heirs and
all persons interested in James u. Fair s
estate are named as defendants. The de-
cision rendered by Judge Slack declaring
the trust clause invalid has made this
possible. When the trust clause fell the
estate stood as though Senator Fair had
died intestate, so far as the larger por-
ton of the property was concerned. I'm
mediately the heirs at law made applica-
ton for partial distribution of the real
property. The application was granted,
and then the heirs sought dlstrlouuon OF
the personal property. Upon these dfstr1-
button orders the battle will be made.
Mrs Craven comes into court this time
under section 1864 of the Code of Civil
Procedure, which provides for the proof
of heirship and right of distribution there
under. Florence Blythe f1lHckley made
her fight for the millions of the late
Thomas Blythe and she won. What Mrs.
Craven's success will be remains to be
seen.
The complaint filed by Mrs. Craven in
the matter of aseertaining and declaring
the rights of the heirs and all persons
to the estate of the late Senator Fair, and
all interests therein, and to whom dis
tribution thereof should be made, sets
forth these allega tions:

Lincoln Mystery Grows
Deeper.
INVESTIGATION Is CHECKED
YOUNG MANS LETTERS KEPT
FROM SHERIFF.
Perusal of Them Would, 1t Is
Thought, Supply a Clew in Sup
port of the Theory of
Suicide.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LINCOLN Aug. 12.-Another sensa-
tional feature of the Lands murder-or-
suicide case occurred to-day when John
Lands, the father, accompanied by
lawyer, put a stop to the examination
of the letters of young Lands in the
office of the latters store. This exam
ination was being carried on by Sheriff
Keena and his deputies. The officers
still cling to the suicide theory, and 1t
was evident that they were searching
the effects of the young man for some
thing which would more clearly estab-
lish their theory. 1t is not probable the
Sheriff will strongly oppose the attitude
of the father, who is an aged man and
an honored citizen of Sacramento. The
1yarmest attachment existed between
father and son, and letters passed be-
tween them every day; in fact, the let
ter which young Lands gave TO Night
Watchman Redding to mail half-hour
before his mysterious death was ad-
dressed to his father at Sacramento,
and its contents suggested arrange
ments for trip together to San Fran
cisco later in the week.
The people of Lincoln, who sympathize
with the elder Lands and County Clerk
Lands in their gr1ef, and VINO, IKE
them. cling to the murder theory, are
unwilling to believe that the former
Rod anv desire to balk the officials in
vestigation or to do else than guard
the nureIy personal matters of his son
from public curiosity. However, his
act this afternoon, whatever the mo-
five has had the effect of delaying the
investigation along the lines of self
murder. What step the Sheriff will
talxe i'm the matter of continuing the
examination of Lands papers remains
to be seen.
