property with a Winchester rifle.
He had been in possession tor
two hours. He had driven out
to the claims in a blackboard.
For more than fifteen years
Waterman held a controlling in
terest in the Lee mines, and it
is estimated that during that
time more than $2,0O0,000 in ore
was taken out.
Dark hints were cast in regard
TO Waterman by those who con-
sitered he must have known the
locality. Now the finding of
Lees body clears the air. The
ex Governor has been dead sew

ton of silver bullion the mines
have been idle, but the old story
Of Abner Lee is often repeated
by the desert prospectors.

A TRAGEDY or MINING.
GOnes of n Noted PrOsppctnr
Found in the DEVILS Play
ground.
San Francisco Examiner.

Sdu francisco Examiner.
Alter thirty seven years ot
mystery the strange disappear
ance OF Abner Lee, the notorious
old prospecior who discovered
the famous Lee silver mine. sew.
enty miles northeast of San
Bernardino, Cal, has at last
been solved.
Lee was the most famous pros
pector of his time. In 1865 he
located those claims known as
the Lee mines, which subse-
quently brought fortune OF
$2,000,000 to Governor Il. w.
Waterman, of California. Soon
after discovering these itch silver
properties he disappeared into
the desert and was never seen
again. A great deal of excite
ment was Occasioned by Lee
withdra wal from the world and
1T was suggested more tahn once
that he had been foully done
away with by unscrupulous per.
sons who wished to gain posses
sion of his property. Others
thought the Piute Indians, who
then raided the desert, had killed
aim and burned the remains.
Now the riddle has been solved
and the skeleton of Old Abner
Lee, the bones of his burros, his
"wash pan" and an old mining
pack bearing his name on the
handle have been found in the
Devils Playground by "Jim"
Moran, a desert freighter, plying
; between Fenner, on the Sante
Fe Road and Resting Spring
branch, at the head of Death
Valley. The shifting sands
(which covered Lee have given
back their dead, the miners are
cleared of obloquy and the bones
of the prospector have been given
decent burial on the crystalline
shores of Soda Lake.
According to Lees story at the
time (and this was subsequently
verified there were vast lodges
of surface ore in sight of precise.
ly the same quality as the ore
which from time to time he
brought in on his burros. He
was very secretive about the 10
cation Of his mine and those
whom he took into his confidence
were under strict pledge to re.
veal nothing.
Among these was Il. w. Wat
erman, who afterward became
Governor of California. Mr..
Waterman was at that time a
struggling lawyer. For ten years
after Lees disappearance nothing
was heard of the properties.
Then a big expedition was or

THE FLEET WINS.
Higginson's Fleet silences the Forts
and Anchors In Newport
Harbor.

Newport, r. l., Sept. 6.-Admiral
Higginson's feet of battleships ran the
forts defending Newport harbor at
10 o'clock Friday night, and anchored
off the torpedo station, and the mimic
war is practically at an end. The Sec
ondary feet of smaller vessels fol-
lowed about half an hour later, after
the fight was over. After remaining
at anchor half an hour the feet sud-
denly steamed out of the harbor.
Nearly the entire fleet, under Rear
Admiral Higginson's command, made
a demonstration Friday afternoon
against the army defenses on Nara
gansett bay, but did not attempt to
come into close quarters with any
Of thesforts. A landing was effected,
however, at Prices Neck, where the
searchlight and range station on
which the mortars Mt Fort Adams
are sighted and fired, were put out of
action for an hour. During that time
the oattleships Kearsarge and Ala
bama engaged Fort Wetherill,' the
cruisers Olympia and Brooklyn ham
mered Fort Greble in the west chan
mel, while the battleships Massachu-
sets and Indiana and the monitor
Puritan destroyed a signal station at
the entrance of Seakonet river. After
two hours of fighting the fleet drew
off shore, where it assembled just be-
fore sunset for what at that time
looked Ikea night attack.

QUICKLY PUT DOWN.
Uprising OF Filipinos Under Fanati-
cal Leader Ii Quelled by Ma
tive Constabulary.

Manila, Sept. 6.--Rios, a fanaticaI
leader of the irreconcilable natives in
the province Of Tayabas, Luzon, at
tackled the town of Laguiinanoc, Sep
TENDER 3, at the head, of 30 rifiemen
and $50 men armed with bolos. The
band wantonly killed two women and
one girl and wounded several other
persons. A detachment of the native
constabulary arrived Unexpectedly
at Laguimanoc while Rios men were
still there. They attacked and routed
the bandits, killing several of Rios fol-
lowers, and have rounded up TOO men,
many of whom are suspected of COM
plicity in the attack on Laguimanoc.
The guilty ones among the 700 men
will be picked out and the remainder
set at liberty. One of Rios leuten-
ants, who was captured, said Rios was
direct descendant of God and that
1t was beyond the power of men to
injure him. The constabulary have
also captured one Of Rios mountain
strongholds. Four detachments of
constabulary are now following the
main band Of the outlaws.
Manila, Sept. 6.-Maj. Edward F.
Glenn, of the Fifth infantry, who was

pended for one month and to forfeit
$50 of his pay, has been restored to
duty and ordered to return to his
command at Bayambang, Luzon.

MANY. NEW BANKS.
Some Very Interesting Statistics with
Reference to Financial
Installations.

Washington, Sept. GA statement
prepared by the comptroller of the
currency shows that from March II,
1900, to August 81, 1902, 1,141 nation
al banks with aggregate capital stock
of $65,534,500 were organized. OF
that number 146 associations, with
aggregate capital of $10,5s5, 900, were
conversions of state banks; 351. with
aggregate capital of $20,335, 900, re-
organizations of state and private
banks, and GA, with aggregate cap
ital of $34,614,5O0, primary organiza-
tions. The number of active banks
has increased from 3,617 on March IA,
1900, to 4,616 on August 81, 1902; au-
thorized capital stock from $616,3Os,-
COS to SCOTIA ,696; bonds on deposit
as security for circulation from
s244,611,5 $50 to 1922, $50, and bond
secured circulation from $216,374, 705
to $319, 407,5 $50. Circulation secured by
deposits of lawful money on account
of insolvent and liquidating associa-
tions and by those reducing their
outstanding issues has increased
from S3s,027,935 to $41,s75, los. Dur
ing August AZ national banks were
organized with an aggregate capital
stock of S1,430.000.

A GREAT ALLIANCE.
Gould and Rockefeller Unite Rnii-
way Companies I'm Commu-
nifty of Interest.

New York, Sept. 6.-Gould and Rookie
Teller in a community of interests is
the next great railway combine. The
plans involve close working alli-
ance between the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul and the Missouri Pacific,
involving the possible merger of the
entire Gould system and the ,Rockefel-
Ter railways. Reports of an actual
merger sent the Missouri Pacific and
St. Paul stocks booming skyward on
the stock exchanges of the country,
and at many places it is believed that
more than the offensive and defensive
alliance of the two railway powers
is under way.
George j. Gould, by the alliance with
Rockefeller, gets a better entrance
into Chicago for his western roads,
and Rockefeller secures a southern
outlet for the st. Paul system. The
Missouri Pacific and st. Paul come
together at Omaha and Kansas City,
and the alliance of the systems means
a huge saving in traffic business and
a greater rapidity in handling freight
from the Dakotas to the gulf.

STRONG POLICY ADOPTED.
Taking Vigorous steps to Protect
Commerce I'm Haytien Waters.

Washington, Sept. 6.-The navy de-
partment has received from Com
mander McCrea, of the Machias, a mail
report under date of Cape Haytien,
August IS, setting out in detail the
steps taken by that officer to prevent
interference with the worlds COM
merce as result of the bitter insur-
rectionary struggle now in progress IN
Haytien waters. Commander McCrea
was, from the nature of the case,
obliged to act without opportunity to
consult the navy or the state depart
ment, but it is stated that his vigorous
and effective measures are thoroughly
approved. 1t appears from the COM
mander's report he took under his
charge the commerce of nearly all of
the European countries, in addition to
that of his own. His attitude toward
Admiral Killick, the insurgent COM
mander, as revealed in the report is
significant as indicating the adoption
of a stronger policy than has been pur-
sued heretofore in the treatment OF
South and Central American revolu-
lions, which injuriously affect the coma
merce of the world.

New York, Sept. CIR. G. Dun a
, Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade says:
STEADY progress is reported in trade
and industry. Distribution of mer-
, chandise is heavy and healthy tone
7, is evident. Prices are well maintained
by liberal consumption, which more
than neutralizes the effect of en-
larged facilities for production. Do
nestle conditions continue much bet
ter than those existing abroad, and
home trade received more attention
than foreign commerce. Farm prod
ucts have appreciated in value owing
to less favorable weather, and pro-
ducers will be fully compensated for
any decrease in quantity by the higher
quotations"
Bradstreet's says: "All available
data confirm reports of past good trade
and foreshadow as good and better
yet to come. 1t has been especially
a week Of active buying in distributive
trade, and sellers have occupied an en-
viable position. Reports as to August
trade have been almost uniformly favor
able, and the records of failures show
business mortality to have been con-
fined to a low summer minimum.
Prices show persistent strength de-
spite the fact that agricultural prod
ucts, except corn and prime cattle.
tend lower, owing to the growing
strength of raw textiles and other ma
terials for manufacture. Rather less
disturbance is noted in labor matters,
The anthracite trouble still hangs over
the situation, but the volume of coal
shipments is slowly and steadily in
creasing. Some wage advances are
noted in widely separated lines. Col
lections' in the north and west are
uniformly good, but, while some i'm
provement is noted in the south, room
for betterment still exists"

london, Sept. 6.-The anthracite
coal shipments to the United States
are the result Of orders which have
been coming in for the last fortnight.
There are probably 10000 or 1000 tons
contracted for immediate shipment to
New York, which demands 5000 tons
daily. The dealers. however, regard
the New York market as ephemeral.
They prefer to serve their regular GUS
toners and cannot possibly supply
1000 tons daily. The prices range from
$3.50 to $3.50 per ton free on board at

STRIKE CAN BE ENDED
President Roosevelt Says So In an
Interview.
He Believes Men In Control OF Repub.
lican Party In Pennsylvania Can
Bring About an Amicabie
Settlement.

Philadelphia, Sept. 6.-The Recort
prints an interview on the coal strike
with President Roosevelt, who passed
through this city Friday on his way I,
Washington. The president is quoted
as follows:
Il am grieved beyond measure at
the difficulty in Pennsylvania and
other coal-producing states over tho
wage and kindred questions"
"What remedy is ut hand?" he was
asked.
"There is remedy" said the presi'
dent.
'Do you. mean that the government
of the United States can interfere,
other than as a law-preserving body?''
"No," replied the president, emphat-
ically.
"What can be done? ?" was then asked.
II would refer you to the men Mt the
head of the republican party. who arc
in control of affairs in Pennsylvania.
1 am sure that their conservative opin-
ion of the difficulties rampant will ul-
timately result in an amicable settle
ment9 of this greatquestion. OF course,
politics do not enter into the mining
problem, yet l sincerely hope that tn.
republican principles, which are
framed alike for high and low, will
level the problem to an equity"
Operators Fear Foreign Coal.
The news that shipment of 5000
tons of Welsh coal has been made
and is now on its way to this country
has caused uneasiness among local
anthracite coal operators. The possi-
bilities of foreign coal finding its way
into this market is alarming, and is
a proposition that the operators have
been fighting for several years.
Platt Repeats statement.
New York, Sept. 6.-Senator Platt
said he would stand by his declaration
of last Sunday that the strike would
be settled within two weeks.
SLOW is it going to be settled?" he
was asked.
"All 1 can say is that it will be set
tied in two weeks from the time that
/ made that statement. That state
ment l will stand by"

night from Virginia and held confer
ence with President Mitchell. lie will
return south to-day. Mr.. Mitchell
said Mr.. Lewis visit was with refer
ence to the strike in Virginia. Presi-
dent Mitchell says 700 men are af-
fected by the settlement of the strike
in the Pocahontas region. They were
granteda semi-monthly pay day, which
the chief officer Of the United Mine
Workers thinks is very important
concession. About 10000 miners are
still out in the Kanawha, New River
and Paramount districts.
So far as the anthracite region is
concerned, President Mitchell says
there is no change in the situation.
The district officers continue to re-
port that the strikers are remaining
firm. At the Offices of the coal com.
panies it is claimed that the number
of applicants for work is increasing eN-
cry day. and that the output from the
washeries and mines in operation this
week will be the largest since the
strike.

The horsemen managed to get their

one horse fell dead on the tracks. The
other three powerful grays attached
