OFFERS TO SAVE PROPERTY
OF ORANGE BLOSSOM MINE
John Denair Willing to Advance
Money to Guarantee Claims
Against Company

SAN BERNARDINO. Nov. 14-John
Denair, the discoverer of the Orange
Blossom mine near Bagdad, in which
local persons have sunk thousands OF
dollars, has now made an offer through
which the property of the company
may be saved from the creditors.
The claims against the company ag-
gregate nearly $4,000 and the mine has
a number of times been set for sale
by the receiver, but unsatisfactory
bids on each occasion caused a post
ponement. For the power plant and
machinery $4,000 is offered, but the
stockholders and creditors are unwill-
ing to dispose of only a portion of the
property.
Mr.. Denair, who sold to his friends
much of the stock, has now offered, in
the absence of a suitable bid, to HIM
self put up in a bank sufficient money
to guarantee all the claims. He has
been given ten days in which to do
this, and once that the company is
taken out of the hands of the receiver
development work will be started on
the mine.
If the property is shown to contain
valuable ore Denair will be repaid by
the company, but If not he will un-
doubtedly lose the money advanced
He still. retains faith that the mine
has untold riches.

to awaken in the morning. His
asthma had disappeared after he tasted

Col. Nelson was able to rise from his
chair. Now he is able to walk back
and forth across the rooms to his home
several times.
DR.. H. S. Tanner once tasted forty
days, imprisoned in a room under
guard and at another time tasted
thirty-eight days and then walked tif-
teen miles.
Yesterday he received from A. H.

DISCREDITS STORY OF
MT. M'KINLEY CLIMB
DOUBTS FEAT CLAIMED BY DR..
COOK
Wealthy Mining Man Returns from
Trip to Alaska and Talks of
Explorers SeIf-AlIeged
Record
[snecial to The Herald. ]


PASADENA, Nov. 4.-Declaring
that if DR. Frederick A. Cook, the Arc
tic explorer, climbed Mt Mckinley in
the time he claims, he himself could
go up and down Mt Wilson in two
hours, Lane c. Gillian, wealthy min
ing man of Seattle and Pasadena, cast
doubt on the explorers statements of
his achievements on his return from
a summer in Alaska.
Mr.. Gillian was one of the famous
party of five which made the perilous
balloon trip in the America with Capt.
A. e. Mueller which ended on Straw
berry peak in the heart of the noun
tains just as a blizzard was breaking
last spring. In his career he has seen
many rough places, but declares that
if the statements of the Alaskan min
ers are true, the ascent of Mt. Nc
Kinley is an utter impossibility, even
for well-equipped party, taking lots
of time.
Mr. Gillian passed the summer at
Camp Beluga, at the mouth of Beluga
river on Cooks inlet. From this point
he saw the peak daily, standing sharp
and clear 200 miles away. Covered
with ice and snow, the mountain rises
almost perpendicularly.
When the news was received at Be
luga that Cook had discovered the
north pole it was promptly discredited
by the miners, none of whom believed
the previous claims of Cook that he
had gone to the summit of Mt Nc
Kinlev. All the miners of the district
were found by Mr.. Gillian to be bitter
against DR.. Cook. calling him an i'm
poster and a faker. They declared
most emphatically that he could never
have gone to Mt Mckinley in the
short time he was away from his head
quarters.
Mr.. Gillian will pass the winter In
Pasadena. His Alaskan visit extend
ed over eight months. during which he
was dredging for gold along the Be
luga river.
