RAISES MONEY ON
BOGUS CHECKS.
George M. Harris, Manhat-
tan Mining Promoter, Vic
tinizes Several People

On Saturday George NJ. Harris of
Manhattan and Tonopah, a prominent
mining promoter, arrived at the ST.
Francis Hotel and was given one of the
choicest rooms in the house. He spent
his money freely. like a miner. touched
the primrose path frequently. and when
his ready cash was exhausted got more
money by producing checkbook and
getting the Endorsement of Bob" Mont
gomery and tother mining men on the
backs of pieces Of paper drawn on the
State Bank and Trust Company Of Man
haitian. He obtained about $3.50 in this
way and spent it seeing the gay things
the fire left untouched in San Fran
cisco.
Last night he gave up his comfort
able room at the ST. Francis for a lone
ly cell at the Bush street police station
His checks had proved worthless and
his bank account at Manhattan merely
at the hotel yesterday afternoon and
will be charged today with obtaining
money under false pretenses
Harris says that everything will be
Strengthened out as soon as he can get
word to his mother at Manhattan. He
claims that she wired him that she had
deposited $1,000 to his credit in the
bank and he says that he supposed his
checks were perfectly good when. he
cashed them. His victims of the past
two days are Robert Montgomery, 5000;
" c. Garvey, merchant of Seattle
$50; Gordon the tailor, $50. He has a
long string of checks floating in and
about Los Angeles, whence he came to
this city.
He made Montgomery and Garvey
his victims in a peculiar way. He ap-
preached Clerk Kline of the st. Fran
els on Sunday and asked him to cash
check. Kline demurred without

gomery sitting in the lobby and went
up to him. Montgomery had met Har-
ris once before in Manhattan and.
thinking the man was honest, indorsed
his check for 5000. That same night
Harris came into the hotel late and
asked Clerk Scott to cash a check for
$50. Scott demurred and Garvey, who
was standing at the counter, asked
Harris who he was.
I'm mining man from Manhattan"
said Harris, and I cashed check this
afternoon that was signed by Bob
IF you're a mining man you're all
right" Garvey said. and Immediately
gave him the money for the check
The hotel officers were suspicious of
Harris actions and telegraphed the
State Bank and Trust Company con-
cerning his finances. The reply came
back that Harris had no account. The
police were notified and Detective
Harry Reynolds took Harris to the
station.
Harris claims to be president of the
Mines Investment Company and the
Jefferson Consolidated Mines Company.
He had check for $3.50 made out when
he was arrested. which he intended to

WORKMEN TO COME
BY THE SANTA FE
Inducement of Low Fare
and High Wages to Bring
Many Thousands Here

One of the most interesting and use
full publications issued as boom litera-
ture is a folder by the Santa Fe rail-
way system, condensing in four pages
pictorial and verbal information con-
corning the present condition OF San
Francisco and It's prospects for The near
future The title cover shows the busf-
ness center at the intersection of Mar
ket and Kearny and Third streets. the
broad thoroughfare of Market street be-
ing almost congested with crowded
street cars and wagons loaded with
building material and merchandise. The
scene, which is a half-tone photograph,
certainly does not convey the impress
sion of a ruined city emerging half
drowned and insensible from the sea of
misfortune On the contrary, all is
life, hustle and energy
The pressing need now is not for
more money" says the circular, nor
more food, but for more workmen.
Won't you pass the word along that
San Francisco offers employment all
winter long at top-notch wages for all
classes of laborers?" That this state
ment is true every workingman and
every employer in the city knows. As
an inducement to Eastern labor to come
to this city. the company offers the
tempting inducement of cheap one-way,
second-class colonist rates TO California
via the Santa Fe (daiIy between Sep
tember Is and October S1), with tour
ist sleeper service at economical rates
In addition to this special offer, the
company gives low frst-class round
trip rates every day in California until
September 15 first-class excursion rates

least, that luxurious travelling home,

.G0ULDS MAY BUILD
TO SAN DIEGO.
Said to Have Joined With
Guggenheims to Build a
Branch From Colorado

Persistent rumor and the actions of
new company called the Denver
Transcontinental Railway tend to con-
firm the rumor that the Goulds will
build from some point on the Denver
and Rio Grande in Colorado southwark
and westward to San Diego, where a
monster terminal will be built near the
land purchased last year by the smell
ter trust. The plan is to extend the
Mineral Wells and Northwestern. Rail
way of Texas-northward and at the
same time to extend the Intermountain
Railroad, running from Denver to
Golden, southwark until the two lines
connect somewhere in New Mexico.
Such a line, it is said, would shorten
the mileage to San Diego and at the
same time open up vast copper min
ing country.
The Denver Transcontinental Rail-
way has filed articles of incorpora-
tion with the Secretaries of State of
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and CAL
ifornia. It's paper stockholders are
William A. l.. Cooper of Denver, Charles
A. Baldwin of Colorado Springs and
r. E. Vidler Of Georgetown. They are
said to be the agents of the Goulds and
the Guggenheims, who are now in close
harmony Surveys have already been
made from Denver to Minturn, Colo.
and a party of engineers is working
north in Texas. A third party is run
ming line southwark from Ros-
well, N. M.
Reports from Denver say that these
men are being hired by the Goulds and
the Guggenheims. The smelter trust
has acquired large properties on the
San Diego water front. With a rail-
road opening UP a large mining region
the smelter could be built and run with
large profit.
The articles of Incorporation filed by
the Denver Vranscontinental Railway
call for the construction of line from
Denver to San Diego, to cost $20.000.000.
