Studying the Strange Races of Peo-
pie Found Therc-tiis Mexican
Photographer to BE His Only White
Companion in the Dark Continent.

Chicago, Sept. 19.-Prof. Frederick
Starr, the University of Chicago an
thropologist, has been granted "A leave
of absence of more than year by the
officials of the university, which time
he will spend among the savage tribes
of Central Africa. He will leave Chi
cago tomorrow and expects to sail
from New York next Monday.
AS the region which he expects to
visit is under the control of Belgium
he will go first to Antwerp to make
arrangements with the Belgian auth
critics which will enable him to pene-
trate the region under the Congo pro-
tectorate.
He expects to reach Bona, at the
mouth of the Congo, about October
19, and will go overland to the jun
giles of Ndombi, where he will live with
the natives for a year. His headquar-
ters will be 1000 miles from the sea
and the only white man who will be
with him will be his Mexican photog-
rapher, Manuel Gonzales, a boy
whom Prof. Starr has educated.
The particular purpose of Prof.
Starts visit is to make a thorough
anthropological study of the inhabi-
tants of the land of Ndombi. Civili-
zation has not reached this region and
little is known of the people. Prof
Vernes. an American ethnologist
visited the country two years ago, and
brought specimens of the tribes to the
st. Louis exposition. 1t was here that

cided that they were undoubtedly the

CHARLES SCHWAB HEADS
NEVADA COMPANY.
Nj the GoldrieId District to BE Com
bincd in one Gigantic Corporation
story of the Discovery of the Rich
Mines at Tonopah-All Found by
Poor Men Working on Grub Stakes.

Reno. New. Sept. ia report
comes from Goldfield that syndi-
cate Of capitalists headed by Charles
NJ. Schwab has undertaken to secure
control of the more important mines
of the Godfield district and to
merge them into the control of one
huge corporation. ti-millionaires
are credited at Goldfield with the in
tention of taking the pick of the dis
trict's developed properties. Schwab
and his associates now control several
Of the richer mines in Tonopah, 20
miles north of Goldfield, on the same
stretch Of mountainous desert.
Among the properties that are like
ly to be merged. according to current
report. are the Combination, Jumbo,
Florence, January and Atlanta mines.
These have all produced a heavy ton
mage Of high grade shipping ore. The
group forms the core of the district.
Possession of these properties in one
ownership would illustrate the mod
ern tendency to concentration OF great
Industries in a new field.
Nearly every property involved in
the merger project was at one lthe
owned by poor men. The Tayior
brothers. who located the famous
Jumbo and now own the controlling
interest of the property, were grub
staked with $40 worth Of supplies.
After Locating the Jumbo, Red TOP
and Florence groups which at one
time comprised but one group oi
claims. Charles Taylor returned tc
Tonopah without doing the assessmen'
work on his locations required oJ
law to hold title, and probably woulc
not have done so but for Alva Meyers
one Of the original locators OF th'
Combination mine. who urged MN t'
return and perform the work.
on the trip out from Tonopah Tay
lor offered Meyers his interest in TN
mine for $40, but Meyers was unable
to raise that much money. Now ray
or and associates are reported to -b'
practically millionaires.
When Alva Meyers decided to go ol
prospecting trip. he selected the 10
cality that is now Goldfieiu as the fiel'
of his operations having become con
vinced that prophyry belt EXTENDED
through the country. This conviction
was based upon the varying shade
of light that he had noticed from afa
while standing in front of his cabi
east of Tonopah, where he was devcl
oping a property. Another feature
the general formation was the evider
tilt of Columbia and Knickerbocke
mountains, the two most prominer
uplifts in the district
He also was grub-staked by syr
dicate of 10 friends and came out o

REFUSE To PAY

States Representatives Al
lege That Inferior Ce-
ment Was Used by Builder
specIal Dispatch to rhs eau


PORTLAND, Aug. IA dispute OF -
rious proportions has arisen between tha
California Commissioners to the Lewis
and Clark Fair and the Burreu Construe-
ton Company of Oakland over a bin or
$S2 coo for extras In the construction OF
the California State building This btu
is made up OF comparatively small sums
for additional work on various parts OF
the building.
The chief OF its reasons for disallowin r
the bill as given by the Commission Is
that the effect OF the old Spanish Mis-
sions has not been carried out according
to the plans prepared by the architects.
For instance the specifications called for
SCARED plaster for the interior. The
pIastering used IS not that required It
is alleged that inferior material was
used on the building, including cement
which has no more consistency than dried
clay.
Changes are also said to have been
made in the roof construction OF ons OF
the wings, giving an entirely different ef
feet from tnat desired. and spelling tho
resemblance to the original Mission Dur
ing the week experts on building. plumb
ing and electrical work have gone over
the building. The Commissioners. IL Is
said, not only refuse to pay for the ex-
Iras, but demand a considerable reduction
on the original cost Of the building.
A. T. Burrell, head Of the company, left
Portland Friday, 1t is said. with the In
tention Of laying the matter before Gov
ernor Pardee The Commission here has
employed competent counsel. The Bur
rell company built nearly a dozen build
ings at the fair besides the California

HODGKINS rs FORCED
TO GIVE UP JEWELS
Mrs. Greiner, Mother of Joe
Goldstein, Secures
Gems.

. OAKLAND, Aug. 12.-When Joseph
Goldstein was killed in the famous duel
between David Kiniry and Policeman
Smith, search was made of the room that
was occupied by the two young burglars
and several bits of jewelry found includ-
ing a diamond ring and a diamond stick
pin. These jewels were taken possession
Of by Chief of Police Hodgkins, who kept
them until long after the trial of kiniry,
which took place oversa year after the
killing of Goldstein and Policeman
Smith. Hodgkins refused to give up the
jewelry until Mrs. Kate Greiner, the
mother of Goldstein. secured an order
from District Attorney j. ]. Allen COM
pelIing him to surrender them
Mrs. Greiner made several demands
upon Hodgkins for the stones, but the
Chief always took the ground that they
were probably stolen articles and might
be identified. Mrs. Greiner finally secured
them upon District Attorney Aliens Or
der.
Chief Hodgkins says he was sure the
jewelry was stolen and that he held it
for possible Identification, and he wished
to protect himself and so demanded an
order from some one in authority.
Mrs. Greiner is now living in Los An
geles.

Excess fat is disease. It Is caused
by imperfect assimilation of food. Nu-
triment which should go into muscle,

HER DAUGHTER HAS ELOPED
Sixteen-Year-OId Elyira Perez May
Have GONE With Her Fiance,
Westley Bates.

OAKLAND, Aug. 12-After telling her
mother that she intended to return to
her former place of employment in San
Francisco, sixteen-year- Elvira
Perez, the daughter of Mrs. r. A Ash
ton of 709 Fifth street, left the latter's
home last Thursday evening. and since
that time her mother has found no
trace of her, either in this city or in
San Francisco.
The girl had been employed at the
home of DR.. Lee in San Francisco. but
she did not go there after leaving her
mothers home, nor have any of her
friends on this side of the bay seen her.
The mother of the missing girl is satis-
fed that she has eloped with Westley
Bates, former sweetheart of her
daughter, but nevertheless she has
sought the aid of the police to locate
the girl and bring her home. Mrs. Ash
ton said TO-DAY that about three
months ago, after some trihing dis
agreement at home, the girl disap-
peared, and after search of several
days was found at the Bates home, near
Third and Linden streets. The moth
er's theory of an elopement is borne out
by the fact that young Bates left home
about the same time that the girl dis
appeared and has not been seen in this
city since. Word has been sent to the
authorities of the neighboring cities to
keep a watch for the runaway pair.

LATE TRADING
IS IRREGULAR
Hesitation of London Effects

During the Last Session
THE PEACE CONFERENCE
Wall Street Is Encouraged
by Prospect of Continu-
ance of the Negotiations

NEW YORK, Aug. I2.-The disposition
to sell and take profits which was mani
fest in the late trading of yesterday on
the Stock Exchange continued to-day and
an Irregular market resulted. The hesi-
tation of London contributed to this re-
suit. The movement encountered good
resistance at the decline and was followed
by slight recovery, but realizing made
/ the close irregular. Some of the high
priced railroad stocks which had success
fully weathered the market movements
during the week Jared rather badly dur
ing the realizing process, though their
wide declines were not great compared
with the preceding upshoots. The selling
seemed to be prompted by some uneasi-
ness over the complexion of the bank
statement, judging by the repurchases
which set in after the appearance of that
document 1t showed all of the expected
decrease In cash reserves, but the con-
siderable contraction in the loan item was
total surprise, in view Of the revival
Of the demand for money in speculation
during the week. The demand for loans
has been sufficient, in fact, TO result in
hardening the tone for money to carry
over the end of the year 1t is thought
probable that the trust companies may
have begun taking over loans from the
banks, thus accounting for the reduction
in that item by the banks. The reports
from the peace conferences were also
watched closely, and the fact that the
counter proposition Of the Russians was
taken under consideration by the Jap
anese ENJOYS, which seemed to point to-
day to further negotiations, helped in the
late recovery. The very large buying of
Reading and Ontario and Western kept
up the tone Of the market but this was
offset at the last by the marked pressure

SAME OLD GAME.

A couple of lightning rod shar ks
have been victimizing farmers in the
south part of the county during the
past week. They work the same old
game which has caught thousands
One man would go to the house aud
offer to put up the rods for a small
sum and get contract signed by
the intended victim. Another man
came along and put up the rods and
the contract called for Is cents a
foot. The buildings on the farm
were covered aud the victim was up
against it. The law states that potes
given for lighiug rods, patent
rights or mutual hail insurance are
not negotiable aud must be so writ
ten or printed across the face in red
ink, but these sharks generally man
