HIS SINS FOUND HIM OUT.
Founded . Bogus Diamond
Mine in Arizona.

sprung on the public just 30 years
ago, and remember the excitement 1t
created. The originator Of the scheme
came from New Orleans. He was q
brilliant man, a chemist, geologist and
natural diplomat, but he lacked moral
counterpoise. He and his associates
procured number of uncut stones
from Holland, and sailed canyon
in the mountain south Of the CHA river.
Then followed the discovery and the
organization of company and In Q
few months nearly 100000 worth Of
stock was sold. 1t was several years
before the exact character of the swim
die was developed, and by that time the
affairs of the company were so con-
fused that nobody cared to undertake a
prosecution.

called, at Ogden, Utah, in 1884, and he
described the whole affair with great
glee. Afterward he was mixed up in
two other shady enterprises. One was
q scheme for aging whisky and the
other was device for refining sugar
by electricity. Both were fakes, but
he made a lot of money out of them, and
as usual escaped punishment. It was
the old story, however; he went broke
In the end and died few years ago in
the charity ward of a Chicago hospital.
A good deal of the diamond mine stock
was taken in New Orleans, and dare

Mexico and the Yaquis.

The struggle between the Yaqui In
dams and the Mexican government has
been inevitable ever since the construc-
ton of the Mexican Central railroad
brought civilization within an easy
march OF the Yaqui territory. With
the extension of the area Of gold dis
coveries in Sonora the conflict could not
be longer averted and 1t will have mel
ancholy interest in history as prob
ably the last stand of the red man on
this continent against destiny. The
Yaqui is not as aggressive or as-blood-
thirsty as the Apache, but he is fully
as impervious to civilization and quite
as good a fighter.

while I am not in a position to
state positively that later on in the
season some arrangement regarding
racing dates may not be made with
Tanfaron park or possibly with Ingle-
side. II looks very much as though we
spring.
Il determined two months ago to be-
gin as early as possible this year. he
continued. "Some time since / had a
conference with Mr.. Henry Croker
and urged him TO abandon the con-
struction of the new track at San
Bruno. Offering him half the profits of
a continuous season at Oakland.
told him that If matters were so ar
ranged that Ingleside could be opened
we would exchange dates. He said he
could not see his way clear to accept
ing my offer. Then / decided to go
ahead and race"
The season will open Sept. p at Oak
land.
Work is going ahead at Tanfaron
park the new track at San Bruno and
in view of the announcement OF the
early opening of the Oakland an effort
will be made to get ii into shape for
use sooner than was expected.
