SAN ROGUE PLACER MINES.
The New FL Dorado Said to be Very
Rich in Gold.

SAN DIEGO, May PA special to
the Tribune" from Ensenada, received
this morning, confirms the reports of
marvellous richness in the San Rogue
placers, about 300 miles south of En-
senada.
The best evidence of the extent of .he
new Klondike comes from the fact that
the first shipment of gold to Guaynas
merchants, which left Ensenada to-day
was $15S,0O0, all taken out with dry
washers, by which only the coarsest
gold was saved.
The steamer ST. Denis leaving San
Diego last night for Ensenada had
every berth taken, and many more ap-
piled for. The Carlos Pacheco, which
sailed to-day at 3 o'clock for Asuncion
Bay, the point of debarkation for the
placer region, carried over fifty passen-
gers, her full capacity.
Politico Garcial Martinez. with twen-
five rurales, is now at Santa Clara
to keep order.
Water, which is carried twelve miles
inland to the mines, sold at first for s.
bucketful but is now down to $3.50
per bucket. Many of the men there
have commenced digging wells. The
placers are twenty-eight miles long by
fifteen wide, and many are going there
from Ensenada and other points over
land. The Anita sails from this city
for the mines on Monday next

finely carved screen, behind which is
a splendid staircase. Over the mantel
piece in the hall there was curious
representation of the Empire of
Death" In the time of Elizabeth the
hall and estates became vested in three
sisters, ccheiresses, who determined to
have erected for themselves and their
descendants the present mansion, in
stead of the older building.
The youngest of the three sisters,
who had taken a special interest in the
erection of the new house, was brutally
maltreated by some ruffians when pay
ing a visit to Harpham Hail. the resi-
dence of Lady ST. Quentin, and died
very shortly after. Before her death
she made her sisters promise that her
head should be removed from her body
and preserved within the hall, to re-
main there forever. She also left a
weird message to future owners of the
house that if they disobeyed these in
functions she would render the place
uninhabitable.
Her sisters, who had only made the
promise to pacify her, had the body in
TERED in the church without decapita-
ton. A very short time afterward
such terrible disturbances took place
in Boynton Agnes Hall that the SER
wants refused to remain in it, and it
became, in truth, impossible to live
there. The two sisters then consulted
with the vicar of the parish, and had
the coffin brought up from the vault
and, on opening it, found the head
severed from the body, and rapidly
assuming the appearance of a fieshless
skull. The skull was duly brought to
the house and placed on a table in the
hall, where. with the exception of very
short periods, it has remained ever
since.
On one occasion a maid servant Sc
cretly threw it from a window on to a
wagon, which remained immovable un-
til, terrorstricken with what she had
done, the girl, confessed, and the skull
was restored to it's place. At another
time the Boynton of the day, ignoring
or disbelieving his ancestress' power
caused the skull to be buried in the
garden. The result was that dread
full Wailings and numerous unexplained
crashings were heard about the hail.
