Chews Up the Roll Of
a Shasta County
Miner.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDDING, Dec. 4.-John M. Crume, son
Of Jesse Crume of Hatchet Creek Noun
tain fame, has spent the summer in min
ing on Coffee Creek. He decided to return
to Redding by roundabout route and
came over the road by the Government
hatchery at Baird, driving his two loaded
for the night. The donkeys were relieved
of their load and fell to browsing on
blackberry vines and discarded fish nets.
Crume lay down with his carpet satchel
under his head. 1t served as pillow, but
the primary reason the owner kept his
head upon 1t was to guard the chief item
of it's contents, a roll of greenbacks.

night one of the little burroS pulled the

The burro had seized the roll of bills

fiber of the greenbacks. The ends had

specks of value from her teeth. The

ruined greenbacks consisted of one $50,
two $50, one $40, three IS and two 81 bills,

STEAMSHIP is LONG OVERDUE
Fears That the Discovery Has Met
Disaster Off ALASKA.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Dec. 4.-More
than a week overdue on a round trip
which usually takes five or six days, the
steamer Discovery, plying between
Juneau and Valdez, Alaska, is believed
either to be fast in an ice jam or to have
met other disaster. The steamer City Of
Seattle arriving here this evening from
the north, brought the first news of the
supposed loss of the Discovery.
When the Seattle left Juneau on her
wav to Vancouver the Discovery was
more than week overdue, and the
steamer Eilihu Thompson of Seattle had
been two days out in search of her. The
Thompson had come down from Valdez
on her way to Seattle and called into
Juneau with the mails. She had neither
seen nor heard anything Of the Discovery,
and the anxiety that had been previously
felt for the safety of the steamer in
creased until it was decided to charter
the Thompson and send her back over
the same route once more. The Thomp-
son intended to go farther than Valdez
on her trip, and, returning toward
Juneau, leave Valdez for Seattle again
to-day, according to the special schedule
arranged.
while steamboat people in the north
are inclined to believe that the vessel has
come to grief, the owners at Juneau
think she may have been caught in the
ice and will be held until spring or else
crushed between the foes. The steamer
is Of about 200 tons, we'll built, and car
ried twenty persons, crew and passen-

FATE OF THE HIGHLAND LIGHT

VANCOUVER, B. c., Dec. 4-Captain
Gillespie, Of the b6rk Highland Light,
which was abandoned and foundered off
the west coast Of Vancouver Island, ar
rived here to-day. He says that when
the Highland Light left port she had
been leaking slightly, but not enough to
cause fear regarding her safety, as she
was well equipped with pumps. During
the gale the vessel strained so badly that,
although the pumps were kept steadily in
operation day and night, 1t was inpossI-
BILE to keep ahead of the inflow of water.
Three pumps constituted the vessel s
equipment for handling the water. She
depended principally on one rigged to a
windmill, but, early in the gale, this got
out Of order through mismanagement on
the part of one Of the officers and reli-
ance had to be placed on the two smaller
pumps operated by donkey engines. The
crew behaved heroicaliy. AS the gale in
creased in fury the bark's decks were
continually swept by seas.
On November Is the weather cleared
sufficiently for Captain Gillespie to make
the first observation possible for several
days and he found that he was about 130
terry. 1t was while the bark was heading
for the shore Of the west coast Of Van
couVer Island on November 16 that a
small schooner was sighted. Signals of
Light and were seen by the other vessel,
which proved the Arilla of Seattle About
II o'clock on the morning of November 1e
the schooner bore down on the Highland
Light, and she hove to under her lee al
3 O'clock in the afternoon.
Up to the time Of sighting the Arilla 1t
was not known to the crew of the High
land that Capain Gillespie intended to
abandon the vessel and when he gave
the order to clear away the boat wild
rush took place, but no one was hurt.
Nothing was saved except a few instru-
meflts brought off by Captain Gillespie.
The crew did not have time to save even
their blankets.
When the bark was abandoned there
was eight feet of water in the after pump
well and it was steadily gaining depth at
the rate of one foot per hour. The
schooner Arilla did not stand by to wit
ness the final lunge, but, when last seen,
the starboard rail of the Highland Light
was already beneath the waves and she
was rapidly settling.

WOULDN'T PAY DEBTS
Cause of the Estrangement Between
Wilhelmina and Prince Henry.

LONDON, Dec. 5.-The matrimonial
quarrel between Queen Wilhelmina
and Prince Henry, her husband
eXcites great interest here. The
history of the affair, as gath
cred from the various continental
newspapers, charges Prince Henry with
misconduct and neglect, and repeats ru-
mors of his deep drinking and heavy
gambling debts, which Queen Wilhelmina
declined to pay.
Another point of disagreement between
the pair was the Princes unconcealed
antipathy to Holland and ungoverna BILE

his long absences in Germany. 1t is said

ing her back to the coast. She was sight

signals for assistance. Within short
time she struck on the beach. Cole, who
was 60 years of age, was crippled and his
infirmity made it impossible for him to
reach shore.
