JACK CLARKs MINE.
Was Under His Hat But the Suckers
Bit
portland Oregonian)

portland Oregouian)
Jack Clark, the notorious mining
fakir, is dead, so his latest victims
report. CIark's mania was to guide
prospectors to an imaginary gold
mine. He always picked out the Texas
Bar district. on the north fork Of the
John Day river, as the place where
the treasure was concealsd. Old
timers remember him when he first
came from Tehema county. Cal. in
1880 He remained along the John
Day for about five years. and than re-
ceived word that his father was dead
in California. His friends heard soon
after that in the division Of the estate
Clark had quarreled with his brother
and killed him. At his trial he was
acquitted on a plea Of lf-defense.
In the latter sos Jack Clark again
appeared at Texas bar, leading a num-
Der Of prospectors- He was pale ema-
ciated and had no physical serngth.
He took the prOspectOrs through the
various defiles of the mountains until
they became disguised with the fruit
less search.
Clark was left stranded among. his
Old-time friends. They gave him food
and started him out again IN search
of new victims
At least once every year he would
come back with another lot Of pros
pectOrs- The experience was always
the same. When the party came to
thorough belief that they rere on
wild goose chase the guide was repu-
dated. and he at once fell back on
his Old-time friends. At each visit
Clark became more of physical
wreck, and it soon leaked out that he
was a morphine hend-
While under the drug he imagined
rich gold mines hidden near Texas bar
As Clark lay at last dying in
cheap lodging house in Butte, he was
ready to trade this precious infOrma-
ton again in exchange for a final in
iustiOn of morphine. The lodging
house proprietor had two intimate
friends ia whom he Conhded that one
of his guests was about TO die. and
wanted to bequeath a gold mine They
visited the dying man. He feebly in
formed than that he had but a few
moments to live. and wanted to tell
them Of a secret gold mine, but first
must have some morphine to revive
him. He obtained the drug and dra-
maticaIIy described the country SUR
rounding the mine and they drew
maps from his description.
Jack Clark's benefciaries lost no
time in getting to Texas Bar. After
they had Travelled around my steri0us-
~ for a while they grew cOmmuni-
cative enough TO ask a few questions.
They soon learned that they belonged
to the numerous class of Clarks
dupes. They sold their entire camp
eqiument for IS cents and started
home
In his day Jack Clark hrg brought
parties from san Francisco. Portland.
Spokane. salt Lake and Denver. He
became a well known character. but
found new victims in every C0mmunl-
~.

HAS NO FEAR OF WAR.
French Consul at New York Explains
Cause of Trouble.

Cause OF Trouble.
New York, Aug. Edward Bru-
wart, the French consul general in this
city, ridiculed the possibility of a war
between his country and Turkey.
The trouble arises" he said, ''over
the WharveS in COnstantinOple. A
French company built wharves there.
They were 70 charge vessels for dock
ing privileges and the Turkish govern
ment guaranteed the income up to
certain fixed sum yearly. If the in
come from the Whsrves did not reach
that amount the Turkish government
was to make up the difference. The
income did not reach the sum fixed and
the company wants Turkey to make
good its guarantee.
There comes in another question.
You know France has a postoffice of
her own in Constantinople. Turkey
does not like that. She says it inter-
feres with her postal service. but
France viii not consent to do away
with her pOstOmce- Then Turkey tries
to force France. She says, Very well.
You keep your postOffce and we viii
keep the money belonging to your
wharf company. When you abolish
the pOstoffice we will pay the wharf
company Now France intends to
have both the pOstofice and the wharf
company's money. She has seen the
success your country has had in col
Letting money from the sultan and she
is going to collect the money due her.
But war. No. This is what you
call a bluff 1t is like two children.
One says I viii not play with you, and
goes home. Then they do not speak IN
til one apologies or a friend makes il
up between them. You may think of
war when France sends Munir Bey,
Turkeys ambassador in Paris, his pass
ports. France will not do that, though
MuTir Bey is not very well liked in
Paris"
Mehmet Webb. the Turkish consul
general in this city, also said that ne
did not think there was possibility
of war between France and Turkey.

Paris, Aug. 22-According 10 the
foreign office officials this afternoon
there is no news and no change in the
situation of the Turkish imbrOglio.
This. however. was nOuceable-the Offl-
Gals were more reticent than yester-
day While reasserting that no naval
demonstration is contemplated they re-
fuse to confirm or deny the truth of the
news contained in special dispatches,
saying that three battleships and a
cruiser which arrived at TaulOn this
morning are taking coal and provisions
on board. They said they had no infor
nation on the subject.
Perhaps it is not lacking in signifi-
canoe that NJ. Deschannel, president of
the chamber of deputies who was at
tending the council general at Char
tres. suddenly went to RambOuillet
this morning to see President LOUbet.
and also that NJ. Deicasse, the minister
Of foreign affairs, leaves the council
general at Ariege and returns to Paris

arrange the programme for the recep-
ton and entertainment of the car.

The coming of the car is causing

foreign policy
The Temps (semi-officiaD, has a note
this afternoon on the lines of the in
terview which the correspondent of
the Associated Press Yesterday had
with a high official of the foreign Of
fee, saying;
The rupture, as yet, is only the per
sOnal act of NJ COnstans and will only
become official and complete if the sui
tan persists in his present attitude, in
which case, as Munir Bey is absent
from France, it will only be necessary
to notify him not to return until dip
lomatic relations are resumed"
The Temps adds that there is no
question at present of naval demon
stration and hints that if il becomes
necessary, France may initiate the ex-
ample of Austria, which once under
similar circumstances seized the Gus
tom houses of certain Ottoman ports.
