CROSS IS FOUND

Rich Mine.
Special Dispatch to The Gail.

VICTORIA, 3. c., Sept. 16-According
to news which has reached here from
Windemere the cross placed by Father
de Smet on Sinclair Pass in 1854 which has
been the subject Of more than one miners
dream of wealth, has been found by a
trio of prospectors who have been seek
mineral deposits, for some thirteen years
The reverend father, who was engaged
in missionary work in the Kootenais
fOrtytive years ago, after his return to
France in 1855 published a book on his
travels in Northwest America. In this
volume he tells of finding a ledge of rich
mineral in the vicinity Of Sinclair Pass
for some fortunate prospector in some
distant time, as he prophesied that some
day the then sea of untrodden noun
tains would be a great mining country.
A copy of the book was found by some
prospectors about twenty years ago in
the library of st. Mary's mission in East
Kootenai and an expedition was organ
was unsuccessful. Numerous other eXpe-
dittons searched for the lost ledge with
out avail.
None were successful enough to find the
cross until last month, when a rarty of
prospectors-Joe Lassford, Dave Smith
and Frank Marsjean-found the remains
of the cross. which had fallen years ago
to decay among the rocks. For thirteen
years this trio have been searching for
the priests mine and many are the hard
ships they went through before success
crowned their efforts.
Owing to the heavy fall of snow pros

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Sept. 16.-
The Board of State Prison Directors
evidently fears that another attempt is
about to be made to corner the grain
bag output Of the prison jute mill, for
at its monthly meeting held to-day
steps were taken to prevent such pro-
ceeding. On motion of Director Will
kins a. resolution was adopted limiting
sales to lots of 1000, for the specified
reason that the orders now registered
will take all that can be manufactured
to October l. The board also reserves
the right to refuse all orders when the
aggregate will exceed the raw jute out
put
An unexpected zest was added to the
meeting by the appearance of George
King. an agent for a San Francisco oil
firm. who claimed in an address before
the board that the oil used in finishing
grain bags is not whale oil, as called
for in the specifications for bids. but
herring oil, which sells for 10 cents less
per gallon than whale oil. warden
Aguirre furnished the expert opinion OF
two chemists that the oil used is bet

question arose as to where the sam
Dle came from and nobody seemed to
know. King declared that something
was wrong and asked for an investiga-
ti0n. whereupon the board laid the
matter over until the next meeting,
when a representative of the Arctic
Oil Works will be asked to be present
and answer Kings charges, that com
pany furnishing the oil now used.
Two interesting cases Of applications
for restoration of forfeited credits came
before the board One was by William
Manning, the Mendocino stage robber
who escaped from prison in 1884, and,
with John Hanlon, ensconsed himself
in the hills near San Rafael and kept
a, posse Of officers at bay for a week.
Manning admitted to Devlin that an
ex-convict had furnished them arms,
but refused to give his name. The pris-
oner was sent back to his cell to think
1t over.
Joseph f. Ross, serving a long term
from Merced, made a pitiful appeal, his
statements being corroborated by Ex-
Turnkey Jameson. Ross lost his cred
it's for making two attempts to escape.
He said that he left a young and mex
perienced wife in Merced, who was
forced. after many trials, to life of
shame for support. Her letters Of ap-
neal maddened Ross and caused his at
ternpts to escape. Finally the wife
died and since then the prisoner has
proved q model inmate. His credits
will probably be restored, which virtu-
ally amounts to pardon.

TWO WEDDINGS FOR
JULIA DENT GRANT
The Episcopalian Service Preceded by
That of the Greek Church Will
Be Held.

NEWPORT, r. L, Sept. 16.-The
plans for the Cantacuzene-Grant we'd
ding have been changed. 1t was in
tended that the Episcopal service
should take place in All Saints Chapel
on Monday, September 25, followed by
the Greek ceremony in private at Mrs.
Palmers villa. The Prince is q Greek
Catholic and the marriage laws Of his
church, which are very strict, do not
recognize the validity Of the marriage
of a Russian performed by g. clergy
man outside Of that faith.
The head Of the Russian church in
the United States informed the Prince
that the Russian ceremony must take
place first or not at all and that a re-
fusal to comply would place the Prince
in a bad light in his own country and
might cause his public discipline or in
jure his standing in the army, where all
officers are supposed to live up to the
laws of the Greek church.
The advice of the Greek Bishop was
assented to by the Prince, which COM
PEELED a change in the plans. The Greek
ceremony must come first. Therefore,
in private, on Sunday evening. Septem-
Der "a, the Prince and Miss Julia Dent
Grant will be married by Rev. Father
Hotovitsky Of New York, assisted by
two other Russian clergymen of New
York. HOnore Palmer, cousin of the

GOVERNMENT
MAY INVESTIGATE
Fight Of Cowboys and
MexiCanS.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The at
tention Of the State Department has
been drawn to the situation on the
frontier of Arizona, where Mexican
and American troops are confronting
each other and trouble is threatened
as the result Of the killing of some
Mexican soldiers by cowboys.
The Mexican Embassador Senor AS
piros, now at Manchester by the-S Sea,
has received a communication from his
Government on the subject, and this
was deemed Of sufficient Importance to
warrant presentation of the facts
sent out to-day to Acting Secretary
Adee by Senor Santo Banos, the resi-
dent member of the Mexican legation.
Mr.. Adee, in turn, has called on the
Governor Of Arizona for a statement
of the conditions on the border. Extra
dition proceedings can take place di-
rectly between the Governors Of the
States without recourse to the State
Departments of either the United
States or Mexico.
In the present instance some Of the
parties to the killing Of the Mexican
officers have escaped into Arizona, and
serious resistance may be offered to
any effort to secure their arrest and
return. The assistance of the United
States Government may be invoked.
