BIG SYNDICATE TO
BUY TIMBER LANDS
Property Worth S3,OO0,OOO Is
Involved i'm Deal With
Eastern Capitalists

Reports that a big lumber syndicate
involving the control and exploitation
of California timber lands worth $1,000
600 is forming in the east were con-
firmed yesterday by several local men
who have intimate personal knowledge
of the plans of the promoters
Whether the plans for the formati ton
of the new timber company have been
perfected is unknown here, as no word
has been received concerning the re-
suit of conference held by the prin-
cipal hackers of the company in Chi
cago Tuesday. Those most deeply in
terested in the deal are Joseph Hotch-
kiss. owner of large timber tracts in
this state; Roy Pike. well known club
man of this city, and Archibald White.
New York banker.
Hotchkiss left San Francisco several
DAYS ago to attend the Chicago confer
ence, where he was to meet Pike. White
and others who will be interestd in the
deal Pike has been east for some time
with headquarters at the Gregorian in
New York city and is understood to
have engineered the scheme to the ex-
tent of securing strong eastern financial
backing.
Gates plans have not been divulged. 1t
is understood that the company now
being formed is to take over all the
holdings of Hotchkiss, but that he will
retain a large interest in the new con-
cern. The lands which will come under
control of the syndicate include some
of the most valuable timber tracts in
the Sierra, and the plans contemplate
the exploitation of these lands by the
most modern methods.
1t is said that arrangements have
been made in behalf of the new syndi-
cate for the shipment of large quanti-
ties of lumber as soon as mills can be
built and put into operation, and that
the opening up of some Of the tracts
will necessitate the building of many
miles of railroads, Pike, it is stated
will have good deal to do with the
active mana cement of the concern, ana
nossiblv one or two eastern men will
come to the coast to look after the in
terests of the eastern investors
If the formation of the concern was
completed in Chicago this week, as
planned at the time Hotchkiss left San
Francisco. the preliminary formalities
of organization will be rushed through
as speedily as possible and offices will
be opened in this city within short
time.

DAZZLING METEOR
ClFAVES DARK SKY
Wags Brilliant Tail in Face of
Consultations During Its
Plunge Toward Sea

Over the top of San Francisco me-

But the people out in Fillmore street

had a close look at the visitor and he

Story Told by SwindIer

His countenance stamped with the
usual traces of the swindler, and his
furtive manner indicating his voca-
tion, Hawthorn was typical repre-
sentative. Wearing in his coat lapel
an emblem of the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows, to which he iatear ad-
mitted he had never belonged. he was
ready TO ply his trade. his stock plea
being that he was q stranger in the
city. financially embarrassed and re-
duced to the extremity of disposing of
a pawn ticket 70 ra valuable diamond
ring. Because of his straitened cira-
cumstances he was willing to sell the
ticket for 81 cash.
The well known propensity of pawn
brokers TO lend never more than a
small percentage of the value of an
article would raise the natural infer
ence that the ring pledged was worth
at least SIS, and to confirm the infer
ence Hawthorn admitted sorrowfully
that he had originally paid SIS for the
gem.
Doubt as TO the genuineness of the
ticket induced Hawthorn to lead the
reporter directly to the Offices of At
tell, where Aaron Crocker. silent part
ner of the firm, took up his part in the
oa me of "skinning the goat"
