In describing his experience, Mr..

"When we entered the storm cloud at

was so black we could scarcely see the
swaying bag above US. The feeling of
being carried helplessly toward what
appeared to be certain destruction was

''After we entered the cloud we were
in a cold penetrating mist, which near

although we tried several times to
go above or below the storm, the air
pressure around us held us firm. The
gale whipped the bag from side to SIDE.

WILMINGTON ENDORSES
DECISION OF COUNCIL

WILMINGTON, June 29.-The Will
mington trustees were formally noti-
fled OF the action of the Los Angeles
city council in setting August as
election day for the consolidation issue.
The city attorney was directed to pre-
pare the necessary resolution, which
will be passed tomorrow night and
published at once. One precinct will
be arranged for.
The Pacific Electric company asked
for the franchise around the bay in
accordance with the previous discus
sion on this, and H. c. Wheatley on
behalf of the Consolidated Lumber
company asked for wharf franchise,
which is necessary to permit that COM
pany to do commercial business on its
channel.
Sentiment here warmly indorses the
action of the Los Angeles consolida-
tion committee and every effort will
be made to effect consolidation now
that it is definitely in sight.

1Rx Associated Press.O

. SEATTLE, June ga cable dis
patch from Nome Alaska, describes
bloody outbreak of Russian political
prisoners in the Yakutsk district, 81
IBERIA, and the fight of the mutineers
across the wilderness toward Berlng
strait in an effort to reach Alaska.
The dispatch says:
Advices from Vladimir station of the
Northeast Siberia company, across Ber-
ing strait are to the effect that band
of prisoners in the Yakutsk district
revolted, killed the guards and started
on a retreat westward, 1000 miles, in an
attempt to reach East Cape.
The plan of the prisoners was to
take small boats at East Cape and
make the mainland of Alaska, thirty
six miles away.
Captain Kaiinnikoff, acting governor
of the district, ordered Cossacks to
pursue and take the prisoners. The
fugitives in ambush killed four of the
Cossacks and wounded twelve others,
forcing them to retreat.
Plunder Village
Then the convicts proceeded on their
way, and approaching an Eskimo VII
lage, impressed the residents into their
service, and confiscated food, clothing
and dog teams.
The Eskimos made fight against
the convicts. The latter shot a number
of villagers and left the camp desolate.
Captain Kalinnikoff sent warning
by special messenger to East Cape, and
the place was Immediately garrisoned
against an attack on the part of the
convicts.
The report reaching here is that the
convicts are expected to try to make
Diomedes island, in the center of Ber-
ing sea. A Russian cruiser is expected
daily at Vladimir, and may intercept
the fugitives.

WI ILMINGTON'S election on con-
w solidation with Los Angeles will
be held August 4. as recon-
mended by the Los Angeles consolida-
ton committee. The ordinance desig-
mating the day was passed by the city
council yesterday and published yes
terday afternoon.
Discussion was brief, in the main,
regarding the consolidation elections
at yesterdays council meeting. None
of the San Pedro committee was pres
ent, but several members of the Will
mington committee listened to the pro-
ceedings. The Pacific Electric COM
pany was represented in the audience
by an attorney and a detective.
After the city clerks report on the
petition and the passage of a resolu-
tion determining the sufticiency of the
petition, Chairman Jess-of the Los An
geles consolidation committee addressed
the council, first thanking it for their
patient consideration of the matter.
Outside Influence
1--WE presented our case yesterday"
he said, giving as our reasons our
desire to hold the elections as early as
possible, and our belief that to hold
the Wilmington election first would be
to the best interest of San Pedro, and
that it would more surely bring con-
solidation with both cities.
I'VE regretted the difference of opin-
ion existing with our friends in San
Pedro, but see no reason for changing
our minds. Your committee recognizes
that the inspiration of our friends from
San Pedro was from a source outside
the city of San Pedro, a source we have
never been clearly able to determine
heretofore, whether favorable to con-
solidation or against it.
IT we had had time when this matter
of two elections came up we should
have taken the matter up with the San
Pedro committee, but the short notice
we received made this impossible"
DromgoId Opposes Date
Councilman Dromgold made long
speech against the recommendation of
the Los Angeles consolidation commit
tee, but was the only councilman to.
vote against it. On the passage of the
ordinance he was counted as voting
aye
81 am glad to be able to state" said
Mr. Jess just before the council turned
to consideration of other matters, ''that
advices come from San Pedro this
morning that matters are all right.
There is no question that the fight for
consolidation will be united among the
three cities"
I'VE can assure you that the fight
will be as strong as we know how to
make it in Wilmington" said w. 5.
Moore of the Wilmington delegation to
the council. And after we shall have
carried consolidation in Wilmington we
will do all we can to make 1t successful
in San Pedro"

Stevens Company to go Ahead.

Two of the heavIest stockholders in the Stevens Copper Company arrived in Clifton last night for the purpose of making an examination of the mines, preparatory to the commence ment ot extensive work. It is under- stood that a sum of money has already been advanced and work is to be com menced at once. Charley Stevens, who is looking after the company in terests at the mine, stated early this week that he had already made ar engagements for the miners.
 This property is among some of the best mining claims in the upper Met calf district and as a good supply of ore has already been encountered in several places it is generally predicted that if new life and capital is forth coming this will be a heavy producer. The building of the Shannon railroad into that section no doubt is the cause of the new movement. Upon the ompletion of this road the Stevens company will have a convenient out let for shipping, not only enabling them to increase shipments but also necessitating a big decrease in trans portation charges.
