SAN ROGUE PLACERS.
Miners Can Make Wages, but There
is No Bonanza.

SAN DIEGO, June 9.-The steamer
st. Denis arrived this morning from
San Rogue gold placers, having among
her passengers thirteen men who left
for the placers, but only seven of whom
were actually on the ground. E.
Ybarre Mexican, is practically in
control of the mines, and is naturally
averse to an influx of Americans, as he
buys all the dust of the Mexicans at
work at a good profit. The concensus
of opinion of practical miners who saw
the placers is that experienced hard
working miners will probably make
day wages, but no bonanza may be
expected.
Senior Romero, a prominent merchant
of Ensenada, who came up had a let
ter from Ybarre his personal friend,
who stated the above facts in the let
ter to him; also, that the placers were
about twenty-four miles long and only
Mexican rockers will work satisfac-
torily.
All Mexicans who came up on the
steamer will return. Romero says he
has purchased 140 ounces of gold from
these placers. and the Lower Califor-
MIA Development Company has received
nine pounds more of the metal
c.. 1. Ferris of this city, who re-
turned on the steamer, said his party
of Ave worked two and a half days
on the ground, and took out only $3.50
in gold. and that the placers have been
prospected for miles in a crude way.
1t is only about a. foot to bedrock. He
thinks the placers are mostly worked

PLEASURE BOAT SUNK.
The Catamaran, With a Party Of

Passengers on the II-Fated Boat
Safely Landed.
STOCKTON, June 1O.-Death followed
close on the heels of pleasure tonight
at midnight when the Catamaran, on
which party of pleasure-seekers of the
young society people of Stockton, were
taking an outing, overturned in the San
JOAQUIN River. Reports are meagre,
missing. Those in the city who were
anxious for the life or death OF those
who were near and dear to them could
not recollect who were in the party.
The party was made up Of members
of the Club L'Allegria, and the two
chaperones were Mrs. Stella Smith and
Mrs. Carey Neicewonger. The pleas
ure trip had been planned to make the
trip on the Catamaran Flora, which has
its own power, as far up the San Joa-
quin River as Brandt's Ferry and re-
turn. The craft was taken above the
ferry for some distance and was on the
return when the accident occurred.
OF those who were saved there were
none who could tell how the accident
was caused. The craft seemed to turn
partly over and sink almost in an in
start
The members of the pleasure party,
or most Of them, were on deck, though
it is impossible that all Of them were
there. All were in a struggle for life
in the waters in an instant The first
reports We're in the form of telephone
messages from those who were saved
to their families in this city All were
brief messages All those who had
succeeded in getting to the shore were
cared for by the families of Messrs.
Bonoman and Brandt. The young ladies'
were kept comfortable, while the young
men secured dry clothing and started
back for the scene Of the accident, ex-
pecting to find others alive there.
AS near as can be ascertained in the
city the party was made up of the fol-
lowing: Mrs Stella K. Smith, chap
eron; Mrs. Carey Nicewonger, Herbert
Kenyon, Bessie Walsh Marian Walsh,
Bertha Martin, Ethel Martin, Bessie
Smith, Golden Smith, Hazel Klench,
Hattie Nicewonger, Alva Atwood, Ora
Atwood, Abel Shepperd, Ralph Yard
ley, Lloyd Woods, Gertie Lang, Mabel
Agee, Archie Atwood, George Folger,
Rhodes, Harry White.
The telephone messages, which came
about 100, the accident having occur
red shortly after II O'Clock, told of the
safety of Ora Atwood, Adele Sheppard
and Ralph Yardley, Mrs. Stella K.
Smith, Gertie Lang, Marian Walsh.
Mabel Agee, Clarence Hall, Sam
Rhodes, Hardy White and the pilot of
the Catamaran.
Those were the ones accounted for in
the party which first reached the Bach
man residence. The boys who tele-
phoned would tell no more. Their mes
sages to their families were that so
many were all right and that to know
more until they could give definite in
formation would cause sorrow where
possibly there was no need for it,

FlEECEO MERCHANTS.
The Pittsburg Gramophone May Soon q
Untrr ,rrest.

HARRISBURG, July 8.-The Harris
burg police expect to round up in the
next As hours Joseph Hartman, the
Pitts-gramophone man, who is charged
with fleeing local merchants out of
goods amounting to s. 900. He was in
New York city on Saturday and called
at the headquarters of the National
Gramophone company. He was to call
again, but did not make his appearance.
1t is thought the goods which Hart
man shipped away last Friday night
are stored in one of the big auctien
rooms in Philadelphia and efforts are
being made to locate them.
Chief Kautz has learned of other mer-
chants being feeced, and the list is a
big one. The greatest loser it was
thought, was E. L. Rickenbach, but
since Hartmans departure it has been
learned that his house was furnished
with the best silver ware, knives and
forks. Where these were purchased
is not known, but it is thought in
Pittsburg.
Those who are said to be victimized
are Frank Keet, drugs; Forney &
Knouse, drugs Z. l.. Rickenbach.
watches, rings and diamonds; Bow
man & Co., linen and drygoods; Gro
ceryman A. PaXtang, for groceries;

cry; Harrisburg Typewriter company,
typewriters; Weakley & Mumma, fun
lture; Dr. Peters, services; Thomas s..
Peters, rent; janitor, three weeks
wages; clerks, salaries and several
advertising and printing bills.
Mr.. Rlnkenbach has letters showing
that Hartman had sales for watches
and appeared to be all right 1t is
also claimed that Hartman had bought
$16O worth of watches and diamonds
at a Cincinnati house and had given an
order for $1,5O0 worth more on the
strength of his statement that he had
lived in Harrisburg number of years.
The firm had their attorney in this
city look Mr.. Hartman up and stopped
the delivery of the first order. OF course
the second order was cancelled. This
was on Thursday and Hartman dis
appeared Friday night.
