TEMPORARILY ORGANIZED.
Valley Chamber of Commerce Begins
 Business at 5rawley.

Preliminary organization of the I'm perial Valley Chamber of Commerce was effected at Brawley last Monday by delegates from the commercial bod ies of the valley towns. El Centro was not represented at the meeting because her delegates were on the way to Los Angeles to appear before Judge Wellborn and had neglected to name substitutes.
 J. F. Giles, of Calexico, was made temporary president, and Herman Charles, of Imperial, temporary sec retary.
 The following committees were ap- pointed:
 Committee on Permanent Organiza- tion-George P. Blair, Imperial; Ed E. Boyd, Holtville; Philo Jones, Braw- ley.
 Committee on By-Laws-W P. Mans field, Brawley; Edward Dool, Calexico; J. Stanley Brown, Fl Centro.
 The committees are to report at the next meeting, which is called for Tuesday, March 24, at 10 a. m. at El Centro, when a permanent organiza- tion will be effected.
 The secretary was instructed to draft resolutions to be forwarded to Senator Flint and Congressman Smith and the surveyor general to take such steps as will perpetuate the survey now being made, by the placing of permanent corner stakes. A request will also be made that the field notes be filed in the land office at Los An geles.
 A resolution was passed urging Con- gress to take favorable action regard ing the claim of the Southern Pacific for $1,6O0,000 expended in stopping the break in the Colorado river.

BOOM OR BUBBLE
Arizona Miner Denounees Dulzura
 Mining District As Rank Fake.

Dulzuras mining excitement is treat ed by the San Diego papers as a veritable boom and by the Los Ange- les Times as a crude fake. The San Diego Union asserts that one group of claims has been bonded to San Diego men for s25,OOO; that four claims have been sold to Los Angeles men for sS0,OOO, although final pa pers have not yet passed" that sink ing of shafts is about to begin, and that there is a genSme stampede of miners into the district.
 According to The Times, "the news paper boom at Dulzura thirty-five miles south of San Diego, has gone up, exploded, busted and there is now nothing left to remind one of the might have been but a bad smell which still pervades the neighborhood of a certain newspaper office in this city, which lent itself to the most puerile and palpable fake of the sea- son."
 Felix Mayhew, of Arizona, who owns several claims in the district, has returned from a visit to the camp. Mayhew, says The Times, examined the principal properties, including the Spiritualist and Happy Thought, and took eight average samples of what were pointed out to him as the best surface showings. These were sub- mitted to Baverstock & Staples, the assayers of Los Angeles, with the result that an average of fifty-two the next eleven cents; three went twenty-two cents, one thirty-three cents, another sixty-six cents and the highest $240.
 From the same source it is learned that there are not Lore than fifty men in the districI and that they were men who have lircie money. No men are at work; there IS not stick of giant powder in camp and every foot of the much-heralded district is already covered by agricultural loca- tions.
 Mayhew has been a guest at the Nadeau Hotel for the past few days and his report has been awaited by at least twenty-five reputable miners, who were ready to leave for the camp if his recommendation had been forth

coming. He Is, however, emphatic in his declaration that the whole thing is rank fake and that 1t would be we'll for people to turn their attention elsewhere. It is possible, of course, that something may bv developed in the future, but the surrace showings are anything but what they have been described.

 SHR0UDED IN MYSTERY

Port Townsend, Nov. 20--More or less mystery surrounds the details of the events of the summer season aboard the revenue cutter Thetis, which has just arrived in port from the north. Proceeding the Thetis, arrived stories of officers in irons, incipient mutinies and other troubles requiring firm action by the captain. It was also reported that the depart ment in Washington is blaming an in. vestigation.
 Approached to explain an these re. ports, the officers of the Thetis evinced surprise, and thon denied absolutely that anything of the sort had marred the pleasure of the sum- mer's cruise, The captain of the Thetis declined to talk concerning the subject.

RUFF BELIEVED ID
 HAVE AIDED HAAS
Inquest On Remains Of Man Who Shot Heney Causes
 Officials To Row

San Francisco, Nov. 21-That M. Haas, who after shooting Special Pros ecutor Heney committed suicide in his cell in the city prision, was an agent of Abe Ruef, is the assertion made yesterday afternoon during the inquest upon the Haas death. The inquest was the occasion of a clash between the police department and the prosecuting attorney's office, and from the latter source it was directly charged that the police conspired' to permit of the suicide.
 Shortly after his arrest Haas de- clared that he shot Heney because the latter exposed the fact that Haas had been convict. Heney, when informed of the confession of Haas, and also of death of the latter, ex- pressed doubt as to the truth of the confession, and hinted that Ruef was hehind the shooting.
 To account for the fact that Haas shot himself while in q prison cell and under guard, the rolice say that he smuggled revolver into the cell. Their story is that the revolver was concealed in Haas boot top. The prosecuting attorney, however, be- licves that, dominated by the Ruef influence, the police allowed some- one to pass Haas the revolver.

"Sometimes my cleanup was only 50 cents aud at other times it amounted to s400in one day. carried the gold home in my handkerchief, and washed 1t out in my cabin"
 Reed declares that his theft is inc significant when compared with the stealing that Is going on in the Tan ana country, and he further declares that the mine owners are victims of systematic shake-downs engineered by an organized gang of "piantors.p Five of these "planterso are, accord ing to Reed, now on Barnette's Dome crock property.

VALDEZ MAN IS KILLED
 IN CRIPPLE CREEK MINE

w. R. Hepworth, the man men, toned in the following story, taken from the Cripple Creek, Colo. Times was well known in Valdez, having worked in various mines around the sound. The story says:
 "Crushed beneath falling rock while at work on the 800 foot level of the Golden Cycle mine Sunday night, w. R. Hepworth aged 30, HOO Victor av- enue, received injuries which resulted in his death before he could be extri- cated. The accident occurred about 9 o'clock. According to the story of his fellow miners. Hcpworth was in the act of l0oscning the rock in the upper wall when large boulders, weighing about ton, gave way and fell upon the unfortunate miner before he could reach q place of safety, iiSp"ollil HECK was DTOken DN the falling rock, the greater part of which struck directly upon his head. His skull was fractured and his face was badly bruised and cut. That he was not killed instantly is proven by the fact that his companions heard him call for help several times. As speedily as possible Hepworth was removed from beneath the rocks, and a doctor called. He was dead, how ever, when removed to the outside of the mine.
 "Hepworth had been resident of Goldfleld only about two months. He came here from Mammoth, Utah where he has relatives. He was a practical miner, having worked in Alaska for several years before com ing to Colorado. Hepworth was pre- pairing to return to Alaska when he was killed
 '"The dead man is survived by a wife and relatives in Utah. The couple have no children. Funeral ar. engagements have not been made and the body is at the undertaking estab- lishment of Hall & Thompson await ing burial"
