ISRAEL DURHAM is
DYING IN PASADENA
Former Boss of Philadelphia Said 20
Be Near the End.

Philadelphia, Pa. Feb. 2S.-Israel
w. Durham is dying at Pasadena, Cal.
For years his brain directed the band
of public plunderers in this state,
whose deeds are said to have been un-
paralleled in the history of official and
political corruption. In the five years
he was commissioner of insurance Of
Pennsylvania the department over
which he presided was relieved of
S141.000. irrespective of salaries and
fees. a mere trihe however, compared
with the money taken from the public
treasury in many different ways. but
notably by frauds in making and full
filing OF city contracts.
Brights disease. with pulmonary
complications. is responsible for Dur
hams physical condition, and his null
tiplying embarrassments due to the
political upheaval in Pennsylvania
brought about his present nervous
collapse. That he will never return
alive is now accepted, for the end
may come at any time. II cannot be
long delayed, even in the grateful cli-
mate Of southern California. He Is
isolated from everybody, and his
brother. Thomas Durham, serves as
nurse.

Orchard First Tried to Shoot Ex-
Governor and Second Time He
Missed Bomb by Few Inches,

Boise, Idaho, Feb. est has been
definitely decided that the investiga-
ton of the case against Meyer and
his associates for the murder of fo--
mer Governor Frank Steunenberg
shall begin before the grand jury at
Caldwell tomorrow. 1t is not known
whether Harry Orchard, who is said
to have confessed to his part in the
crime, will he taken before the jury.
In the statement made by Governor
Gooding respecting the confession
made by Orchard, 1t was stated that
the prisoner had told of two unsuc-
cessful attempts to slay the former
governor one of these was an effort
to shoot him at his home week or
so before the murder. A favorable
opportunity did not arrive. Prior to
that it seemed a bomb was laid in the
pathway taken by the governor. It
was arranged with a wire stretched
across the path. The intended victim,
however, unconsciously stepped over
the wire and never knew how close
he had been to death. That was the
same bomb afterward used for killing
him. The bomb was like one laid for
Justice Goddard in Denver, having a
bottle Of sulphuric acid so arranged
that the cork would be drawn by a
pull on the wire. When the success

ALLEGED MURDERER GIVES HIS
VERSION OF THE FIGHT

Victor Telles, charged with the kill
ing of Peter Slocum at Kettner last
week arrived in Albuquerque last
night in charge of Joe Padilla, who
will take the prisoner to Los Luna5
this morning. The men arrived on
freight train shortly before midnight.
Padilla besides being an officer is the
owner of the saloon in which the tigGt
took place, as result of which Sl0'
cum died. Padilla said last night that
Telles came to him and surrendered
voluntarily and that he wants moth
ing but fair trial. Padilla evidently
thinks that Telles was justified IN
beating Slocum
Telles gives very different version
of the affair from those previously
published. Last pight he showed a re-
porter for the Morning Journal deep
red scar under the hair on his fore
head. which he said was the result OF
blow delivered by Slocum some
weeks ago, which laid him, Telles,
unconscious for several hours. Dur
ing the time he was unconscious, ac-
cording to Telles, Slocum took $50
whisky and made his escape, Telles
said he was merely trying to collect
the money he says was stolen when
the fight resulted in which Slocum re-
ceived his death wound. Telles ad-
mits striking Slocum on the head with
a gun The alleged murderer is a
little, man, short but with broad
shoulders and powerful neck. He ar-
companied Padilla around the streets
last night, and seemed to be enjoying
himself 1t was suggested to Padillo
that the officers here might let him
have the use of a cell in the county
jail, but he said Telles did not neeH
to be locked up. that he had given
himself up voluntarily and would no.
make any effort to get away. Padillu
says that the Austrian who was shoi
by one ~ his fellows Sunday night
is not dangerously wounded, and WI

after they were taken Oft. The vessel,
which was loaded with lumber, is ex-
pected to be a total loss as the SURF

There may be a rich gold mine in

writes Walden Fawcett Ia Technical
World Magazine In scores Of places
Gathered all ever the country there are
rs and mounds Of black sand out OF
hlch gold, platinum and other pre-
ions minerals may be extracted. The
national government itself is the pro-
Dotor OF this latest mining sensation,
which promises to make as many over
AIght gold kings as fhe discovery OF
Alaska itself
1t had long been known that plati-
mum existed ia marketable quantities
in what are known as the black
sands" Of the Pacific coast, but the
deposits were practically useless be-
cause Of the lack Of an efficient and
economical method of concentration or
treatment IT was to the solution OF
this problem that the government ex-
perts applied themselves. AS first
step 4 general Invitation was extended
to Pacific coast property owners whose
holdings included such deposits to send
to the government samples Of the
wealth bearing sand for free tests.
From the very outset the results
were both gratifying and surprising.
The government Investigators not only
found platinum in quantities that ex-
ceeded their expectations. but they dis
covered that the black sand or sedI-
ment, was rich Ia many other valla-
Bile substances, notably gold la some
instances it was evident that b given
deposit WAS wen worthy Of treatment
merely for the extraction Of one or
two minerals, as, fer instance, large
shipment Of the sand from Humboldt
county. Cal. which showed as assay
value Of $1,000 per ton In gold and
platinum alone

cornplIshed such wonders on the Pa

work, and an experiment station has
been established at Chapel Hill. N CT,
