CALIFORNIA PEAKS
RUMBLING TERRIFIES
Mount Lassen, Believed to Be an Ex-
tinct Volcano, Gives Signs That Its
Head Is to Be Blown Off.

REDDING, Cal, July 6.-Away to
the southeast, more than fifty miles
from Redding, rugged Mont Lassen is
giving yet stronger evidence that the
biologists were correct when they de-
clared that if there were a time
active volcano in California which was
not dead, but merely slumbering, Las
sen was that one.
From a keen interest in the reports
within a fortnight that new boiling
springs had begun to cloud the noun
tain sides with steam, the more timid
people of Redding have passed to an
actual fear at the news just brought
by courier to the effect that the
steam vents are growing larger, and
that away down in the crater the fire
has set to rumbling. At some spots
even where there are no springs the
ground is so hot as to make walking
upon it painful.
Fred e. Hunter has brought the lat
est news from Lassen. On his journey
to Redding from Fall River Mills he
was intercepted at Pawnee by a lum-
herman fastening from the scene. Thu;
lumberman was with a party of tim
Der cruisers who were working on the
mountain. He declared that the
springs, many of which were cold
formerly, are all throwing out boiling
approach unsafe.
But more ominous than the kissing
steam are the low rumblings which are

toward the Spanish peaks. They man
animals and finally struck the Santa
re trail. The party defeated a band
OF hostile Indians without loss, and a
little further on, meeting a wagon
train which was too strong to be sue
cessfully attacked, some provisions
were secured in exchange for a horse.
Further on the party made their first
strike by attacking a Mexican train,
from which they secured $4,000 in
currency, $4,000 in drafts and $4,000 in
coin.
A quarrel arose over the division of
the money, and fourteen of the party
went back to Texas. The party then
consisted of James Reynolds. John
Reynolds, Jack Robinson, Tom knight,
Owen Singletary, John Babbitt, Jake
Stowe, John Andrews and Tom Halli-
man. They decided to go to Pueblo
and on up, the Arkansas river and
plumber the rich placer mining dis
tricts of the South Park. A large part
of the heavy plumber, such as extra
guns, ammunition and several humid
dred dollars of silver coin, was buried
and the party went up the Arkansas
river to the place where Canyon City
now stands. There they rested for a
few days and it was thought best to
push on to California Gulch, which is
now the city of Leadville
The band entered South Park below
Fairplay and stopped all night at a
place called Guireaud's ranch. It was
learned that the mail coach would stop
at place called McLaughlin's ranch,
about ten miles down Platte Canyon,
and the party decided to commence
operations by robbing the mail coach.
The gang started for McLaughlin's
ranch and on the way met McLaugh-
lin and Mayor Demere, who We're TAX
en- prisoners. Reynolds compelled Nc
I4aughlin to trade horses with him and
the entire party took dinner at the
ranch.
The stage arrived late in the afternoon,
and as 1T stopped Reynolds commanded
the driver, Abe Williamson and Billy
McClelland, the superintendent, to throw
up their hands. They were disarmed by
members of the gang, and although they
swore that they possessed no money the
party obtained from Williamson the sum
of Is cents and from McClelland $500
and a valuable gold watch. In the express
trunks was found $4,000 worth of gold
dust and $4,000 worth of gold amalgam.
From letters several hundred dollars was
secured. Before the gang left the ranch
they told Mclaughlin that they were the
advance guard of 1900 Texas rangers.
and that if anyone followed them they
would be killed.
When the desperadoes left McClelland
announced that he intended to warn all
the mining camps of the proximity of the
gang. He rode through the camps of
Hamilton, Tarryall and Fairplay and run

heard. They are described as sounding
like distant peals of thunder.
What do the people who are IN the
vicinity think about it?" Hunter ask
ed.
'They think that old Lassen is about
to have its head blown off," replied the
lumberman, land those who don't have
to hang around there are doing just
what I'm doing-they are going some
where else for their health"
Many persons from the northern
counties make the rough trip by wagon
or pack horse to Mont Lassen during
the summer to study the strange con-
ditions and sights which it presents,
and there has been belief for years
among those who know the peak that
the internal fires were not by any
means extinct, and might cause fresh
eruption at any time.

NEW YORK, July GA bitter legal
campaign is planned by the attorneys
for beautiful Helen Grantley against a
certain firm of extensive newspaper
advertisers for the alleged unauthoriz-
ed use of her head and shoulders in
the public prints, that has, according
to her lawyers, resulted "in holding
Miss Grantley UP to public ridicule,
scandal, hatred, disgrace and contempt
among her neighbors and all good citi-

Miss Grantley is an Omaha girl Of
superb proportions. Her father was
Henry Grantley, director OF the First
National bank. He bequeathed his
daughter 100000. Last year Miss
Grantley came to New York city and
went on the stage, making her debut in

that any cultured mind might approve.
Imagine her dismay when one day in
a New York newspaper she saw her

costing everything that cultured and

Is What Lack Of Improve

TELLS WHAT CAN BE DONE
BY Breeding Plants to Suit Conditions
Crops Can Be Increased S.
OOo,Ooo,ooO in Ten
Years.

Experiments at the state farm prove
that crops can be increased 10 per cent
in value, by proper breeding, says
Prof Willet M. Hays, agriculturist at
the state agricultural college,
His general proposition is as fol-
lows:
Tho ten leading field crops in the Unit
ed States annually yield nearly 81, 900, 900, :
U0O worth of plant products. By means of
live stock and by manufacturing processes
the value of these is so increased before
they are consumed that it is very nearly
doubled. Experiments have demonstrated
that by breeding alone these crops may
be so improved In their inherited tenden-
cies as to yield per cent more, even
with the cultivation remaining unimprov-
ed. Our scientific institutions and breed
ers have also demonstrated that the ami
mails used to convert large quantities of
these crops into concentrated forms Of
greater worth may also be improved by
breeding as to secure better results from
the foods they eat. AS science, through

value OF raw products, so, by Strict ap-
plication of the laws Of heredity, it prom
ises improved races of plants and animals
Which will produce larger returns.
Remarkable Prophecy
"There is no reason why Americans
may not develop as a remarkable ability in
originating valuable new varieties of
plants and superior new breeds of animals
as they have already displayed in invent
ing machinery and processes of manu-
facture. Those who have earnestly and
intelligently undertaken the Improvement
of any plant for period Of ten or twenty
provement in animal breeding, are unan-
imous in their belief that 10 per cent adj
ditlonal can be secured in twenty years
and animal breeding alone. This would
result in ten years in a total increase
equal to the value of all the crops grown
IN in one me year, representing at least $1,000
600, 600 additional wealth to the world.
All this could be secured at a cost of less
than per cent of its value, or $50, 000, geo,
and the chances are that most of the in
creased values would not cost one tenth
of ! per cent of their worth

Possibilities of Breeding.
Breeders of sugar beets, corn, pouter
pigeons, pointer dogs fiber flax, large
plums, long hbered cotton, trotting horses,
dairy cows, eight-leaved clover, and of
other wonderful productions have proved
that by breeding, profound changes may be
produced In any characteristic or in any
combination OF characteristics. # we
car change the percentage of sugar in
sugar beets, We can breed the lean meat
thicker on the backs and hams of hogs
or steers. If the percentage of protein
and fat can be increased in variety of
corn we can breed sciass of cattle which
VIII excel In combination of lean meat
and butter production,
Instead of the most intelligence being
displayed in breeding ornamental plants
and fancy or pet animals, the highest
science aad art should be extensively en-
ployed in breeding those staple crops and
domestic animals which represent so
much or our wealth production. States

COLORADO's BURIED TREAsURE.
HIDDEN SACK CONTAINING GUERRILLAs
SPOT LOCATED MAP

A hidden treasure of 100000 lies
buried beside a mountain creek in
Platte canyon, not twenty miles from
Denver. Its history is known to all
old-timers of Colorado and there are
yet living men who knew it's location
within half mile, yet no one has ever
been able to unearth 1t and 1t still re-
mains in its original hiding place to
enrich some lucky prospector who
happens to stumble upon it,
81 The story of this treasure is one of
the bloodiest Of frontier life and the
men who planted it for their future
use have long been dead, but are not
forgotten. The memory of the Rey-

the Union had not been proved, will
