Yesterday statements We're sent

that the Wedekind mine belonging to
Governor Sparks had been burned and
was totally destroyed The fire was
also said to have originated from
cigaretts dropped there by Univers-

The Governor was in this city today
and was justly incensed at the exag-
gerated reports Of the fire. He said:
The statement IS false and malic-
ious and there is no sense in such d
story as was published. The fire orig
mated, no one knows how, in the old
workings of the Wedekind and where
it had been t!mbered to keep the

A Pure Fake

Some days ago the Appeal assert
ed that the story telegraphed over
the country from San Francisco about
the raid on the Sub-Treasury, was a
fake
The following from the Sacramento
Militiamen who were stationed in
the vicinity of the Sub-Treasury, San
Francisco, ridicule the recent scare
head story sent out from San Fran
cisco to the effect that four men had
made an attempt to rob the Sub
Treasury last week.
According to the citizen soldiery
who were within a block of the Sub
Treasury, the whole thing partook Of
a fake. ''>--.'-
Several of the militiamen assisted
the regulars in searching for the sup
posed thieves but their efforts were
fruitless, as no sign could be found
of anyone having Deen in the district.
1t would be impossible, say the
militiamen, for two or four men to get
into the Sub-Treasury if they worked
without interruption for week. The
vaults are buried under tons of de-
bris and their exact location could
only be guessed.
