SUICIDE OF N. C. CREEDE The Millionaire Mine- Owner Dies at Los Angeles. TAKES AN OVERDOSE OF MORPHINE. . His Physicians' Statement That It Was Accidental Discredited. WAS WORRIED BY DOMESTIC TROUBLES. Career of the Bonanza King, Who Tcok Millions From Colo- rado Mines. LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 12.—Mill- ionaire Nicholas C. Creede, the miner who became famous as the discoverer of the Colorado bonanza and whose name is im- mortalized by the town of Creede, which he founded, died in this city to-night as the result of taking an overdose of mor- phine. That is what the doctors say, but the Coroner's jury to-morrow will prob- ably call it suicide. About 8 o'clock this evening Mr. Creede was found unconscious in an arbor in the garden of his mansion on Figueroa and Sixth streets. The servant who made the discovery gave the alarm and a doctor was summoned, the unconscious form be- ing in the meantime carried into the house. A second doctor was called and the two made strenuous efforts to restore consciousness, but all to no avail. At 10:30 o'clock Creede was declared dead, and the Coroner was notified, the family and immediate friends having already gathered about the bedside. The attending physicians gave it as their opinion that the millionaire miner had come to his death by taking an overdose of morphine about 5 o'clock, just before his dinner hour. Investigation elicited the information from members of the household that Mr. Creede had been accustomed to the use of morphine, one person being authority for the statement that he had habitually used the drug for the past fourteen years. The millionaire minor has for the past four years lived in a fine mansion known as the "Northam house" on Fieueroa street, having purchased the place about a year after arriving in this city to make his home here. Of late the only relatives he had in the great house were the members of the family of his brother-in-law, Mr. Pfeiffer. An adopted daughter two years of age is now visiting at Elsinore Springs and his wife has been away from him since last December. The movements of his wife may have a significant bearing upon the tragedy in that garden arbor, for she re- turned to the city a few days ago and, it is said, had already given great annoyance to him. Creede and his wife parted last Decem- her, he giving her $20,000 cash as a settle- ment, the agreement being that she should not return to him. It is not known where Mrs. Creede has been during these months, but she reappeared on the scene so recently and to-night her hus- band lies in the morgue. There are no living witnesses to Croede's last deed. Whether he took only his ordinary dose of morphine, but ill- timed so soon before his dinner, or whether he deliberately swallowed a quantity of the drug to bring permanent surcease of sorrow, the Coroner will try to discover. The members of the household will not consent to the suicide story, claiming that both Creede and his wife were habitual users of the drug and his death must have been accidental. Since coming to Los Angeles from Colo- rado, about five years ago, Creede has kept in comparative retirement, livingin luxury at his Figueroa-street house. Last year he and his wife adopted an orpnan girl, then but an infant, but domestic difficulties, the real nature of which is not commonly known, broke up the family, and after she had received a lump sum of money from her husband Mr.--. Creede went away ana the child was tent to Elsinore. CreeJe is supposed to have retained his largo holdings in Colorado mines, deriv- ing therefrom a great income. So far as known he did not make any extensive in- vestments in Los Angeles. His wealth has been computed far up in the mil- lions. CAREER OF CRBEHE. Followed a Miner's Fortunes and at Last Struck It Rich. The career of N. C. Creede was one of hardship and adversity. After the war he drifted West and became a scout. As captain of a band of scouts he fought the Indians for several years on the frontier. In the early seventies he went to Colo- rado and began the life of a prospector. For nearly twenty years he drifted up and down the Rocky Mountains, spending most of his time in this State. He suf- fered all the vicissitudes of his chosen life. Occasionally he struck it rich enough to sell out and obtain a year's grub stake, but 'more often he was broke and was forced to work at whatever he could to get enough money together to once more roam among his beloved mountains. He was always confident, however, that tome day he would strike itrich. The winter of 1890 found him "busted" in the little town of Del Norte. There a kindly butcher grubstaked him at the ex- pense of less than $100, with the result that both were made rich, and thegreat silver camp of Creede was founded. The story of now It was accomplished was best told in his own words in an inter- view published two years ago. Said he: lam an Indlanian by birth. I was born at Fort Wayne, that Slate, in 1843. My parents took me to lowa when 1was ii years old, and I have never been east of the Mississippi since. In 1862, when I was 19, I volunteered in the United States army, aud lor seven years served as a scout with the Pawnees. I re- ceived the nay of a first lieutenant, though I held no rank. I went all through Nebraska, Colorado, Wyo- ing, Montana and the Bad Lands of the Dakotus in the early days. I was in the Black Hills beiore gold was discovered, and when 1 heard of that excitement itset mo to think- ing about my lost opportunities. I began to talk to everybody I met who I thought had any knowledge of minerals, and by this means I picked up sufficient knowledge to tell silver and gold . float when I saw then*.. But I've never bothered .. much with gold— it's too uncertain. 1 left the army in ISO!., and have been climbing over the mountains lv the West ever since. 1 usually took a man along with me, though often I could got no one for love or money to accom- pany me. I have stayed in the mountains as long as the snow would let me, and many times I have gone for months without seeing a human being. My outfit usually consisted of from two to Tour burros, laden with tent equipments and provision* to last four months. The comml-SAry contained flour, meal, lard, butter, sal', pepper, pork and beans. I'm a pretty good shot, and always counted on kill- ing deer and mountain partridges for my fresh meat. The mountain streams afforded me excellent trout fishing. Ever angle for these little devils up here? No? Well you've missed the rarest sport of your life. Whew! but they are game 1 They'll right you till they are utterly exhausted, and then ifyou are not quick they'll take to cover under a log or rock, and cause you to lose both lish and line. Twice I have had pneumonia 'way up in these mountains. Luckily, 1 had a companion each time or I wouldn't be here to tell you about it. My last attack was about eighteen months ago, and it came very near finishing me. We were fourteen miles from the nearest doctor. Tnat's a good long distance in the mountains. Mycompanion had to go for the physician and I was left alone one entire night. God, how I suffered. 1 thought a mil- lion poisoned Indian arrows were piercing my breast at once. .Finally, when the doctor did reach me he had only a shackly oid farm wagon without springs to carry me to Wagon Wheel Gap. If 1 hadn't keenly realized the danger and bymy own efforts pronp^d myself up in tne wagon the ride would have killed me. After two months of close care and attention I pulled through. Yousee what shape I'm in now. If the pneumonia strikes me again I'm a goner. In May, 1890, I struck s me float on the side of Mammoth Mounts I 'ie.i my burro - and began to follow lt. 1 climb.-d the mountain along the trailof the float all day. The sun was beating down on me, nnd the glint of the float under mv feet was binding. Just when tbe western sky was tinged with that gor- geous red we see lice sometimes 1 lifted my head, .and there was, prrjecting out in front of me, in inviting shap?, a huge bowlder of silicate big as a house. Tnat's where the float I had followed all day had come from. Good God! I almost screamed with delight. I knew it was bound to come some day, but the idea of finding it ln such shape was appal, to me. But, to make a long story short, I staked it off, and it was mine. I named it the Mammoth. When 1 went back to my camp that night 1 slept as I hadn't for months before. l knew there must be some of it close around, and I kept at work for a month, until in June I found tne Ethel. As to the Holy- Moses, about which the newspapers have weaved so many fairy tales, I found that on my first trip here in 1881). It was on June 25, and I located it the second day after strik- ing the float. The ( 1 ff is on the same vein. They are both In Campbell Mountain. I give it the name riolyMoses simply because 1 like odd names. SANTA CRUZ'S CITY CF TENTS. Christian Church Delegates Gather for the Annual Convention and Outing. SANTA CRUZ, Cal., July 12.—Garfield Park has the appearance of a village, so many are the tents and cabins erected by the delegates to the Christian church's annual State convention. Nearly 200 have come and the convention does not begin its work until to-morrow night. The ! opening sermon will be preached by Rev. B. J. Haynes. On Wednesday the regu- lar church convention will begin. By that time there will be 600 people pres- ant, including the delegates and their families. There are thirty tents and twenty-four cabins already erected and the attendance will be the largest known in years. The Christian church, in the district represented by this convention, which reaches from Bakersfield to the Oregon line, numbers 19,000 members, hence the large representation here. Rev. R. L. Mcllatton of Santa Rosa is the State evangelist, and bespeaks in most encour- aging terms of the prospective results of the present session, which will occupy two weeks of time, much of which will be spent in recreation. Many of the dele- gates and their families make this onlyan annual outing and vacation. There wi 1 be present during the conven- tion a number of the Christian Endeavor representatives now in San Francisco. Among them the following have already signified their intention of coming: Rev. A. P. Pbilpott, Philadelphia; B. B. Tyler, New York; J. Tyler, Cleveland; U. A. Young, Ann Arbor/Mich.; A. C. Sraitber, Los Angeles; Professor Giltner.Eminence, Ky.; Rev. E. L. Powell, Louisville, Ky.; A. D. Harmon, Bethany, Nebr.; H. E. Harlan, Parsons, Kans. WANTED IN LOS ANGELES. Asrcnaut R chard Earlsion Accused of the Abduction of a 14- Year- Old Gr. LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 12.— An aeronaut who has been making balloon ascens ons for some time in this city and doing the trapeze and parachute act has disappeared. He is Professor Richard Earlston, and his disappearance was not in the clouds, though his going away was under a cloud. It is charged that the balloonist has left the city in company with a girl who is only 14 years old and who was recently reported missing. She was known as Bella Maynard, but site is a daughter of Mrs. .Mi not of San Pedro street. Mrs. Minot has sworn to a complaint against Earlslon, charging him withfelony in hav- ing taken away her daughter on Monday, July 5, though the couple have been out of sight only since last Wednesday. De- tectives are looking over the city for the aeronaut and the girl, under the supposi- tion that they are in hiding here, but it is believed they have gone north. A number of Los Angeles people are anxiously awaiting news of the balloon man's whereabouts. Among them is a woman he has been living with as his wife, and who is breathing vengeance. ROUGH OA WHITTIER HOIS. Hill Ie Heprired of Their Usual Taca- lion This Tear. LOS ANGELES. Cal., July 12.—E ther to punish the cadets for their recent di.-- play of insubordination or. to make a notable departure from the -policy of the previous administration, tho trustees of Whittier State School have decided that the usual summer encampment of the boys on Catalina Island will be omit- ted this year. The boys can get over the whippings they received for their at- tempted uprising, bit to be deprived of the summer vacation on the island will make them "sore." But ths trustees so decreed to-day that the edict "goes." Superintendent Van ' Alstyne says that all the boys at the school are attending to routine except six or eight of the re- bellious leaders, who are kept in confine- ment. The present administration ex- presses tne opinion that tho friction did not arise from the inexperience of the new force of officers and employes, but from the fact that under the previous management the boys were treated too well. The trustees do not fear the threat of prosecution for excessive punishment of the boys who led the recent so-called riot. Jewel* Taken by a Burglar. LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 12.—Some time last night the jewelry-store of 8. Aufrichtig, at 358 South Broadway, was entered by a burglar and robbed of $1000 worth of watches, jewelry and gold mil- lion. When the \u25a0 proprietor entered the place this morning the, trays tnat had contained the valuable goods iav scattered upon the floor, they having been taken from a wooden safe in which they had been placed Saturday night. x jlcter Ralcliffe'.

QUARREL AS THEYPLAY SEVEN-UP. The Horseman Resents an In- sinuation That He Stole Points. THEIR STORIES OF THE AFFAIR DIFFER. Each Claims That the Other WcS tho Aggressor— Adams Will Recover. SAN RAFAEL, Cal., Jnly 12.—James S. McCue, the horseman, fired two shots from a revolver at Jere Adams, the pro- prietor of the Parisian House, this morn- ing at 2 o'clock while the men were quar- reling over a game of seven-ip iv the of- fice of tho hotel. One of the bullets grazed Adams' forehead, while the other entered tho skin under the jaw and, fol- lowing an upward cour-e, passed through the flesh, coming out just below the eye and making an ugly wound. Dr. Jones of San Rafael, who attended the injured man, said that the course of the bullet was peculiar and, had the lead gone a Quarter of an inch to the right or the left, an artery would have been severed and the chance of saving Adams' life rendered doubtful. As it was, the doctor said, without a doubt the wounded man would be brought around all right if blood poisoning did not set in. The stories told by the principals con- cerning the facts leading up to the affray differ somewhat. There were no wit- nesses present. The men were in the office of the Parisian House playing seven- up. McCue, who lives at Corte Madera, had driven over to San Rafael and dropped in to pay Adams a friendly visit. The men have known each other for twenty years. The game was started and the limit was placed at 50 cents. As the evening passed and the excitement grew It was agreed to play for a larger sum, und gradually it was raised to $5. Then \u25a0 dispute arose, an d both men made a grab for the money on the table. Adam"- scooped it toward htm. Blows followed. Up to this point both men agree, but regarding the affair from this point on the participants tell different stories. 7 V. McCue assorts that Adams struck him, and in the quarrel got him down upon the floor and commenced to beat him. When he found himself in this position lie called upon Adams to let him up. Adams would not do it, and McCue drew his revolver from his pocket, and from his position on the floor fired at Adams. Jere Adams is about 41 years old and a native of Switzerland. He has lived in Marin County foi many years. To-day he lay upon a bed in room 21 of the Pari- sian House with his head bound up in cloths. Dr. Jones' orders were not to allow, any one to see the man. but Adams granted an Interview to The Call repre- sentative who visited him. He was hardly able to speak, and what he said was ut- tered in whispers. "We were playing seven-up," said he, and I had found that McCue bad counted one point more than he was entitled to, and I told him go. The boys told me earlier in the evening not to play, as McCue/ would 'do me up'; but 1 "have known him a long time and I did not think he would do what he did. It is dis- graceful. "Well, when I told McCue that he' was counting one point too much he didn't like it and said that he had done no such thing. I made a grab for the money and he did the same, but I got the money, and then be pulled out his pistol and fired at me. I did not feel hurt, but the blood covered ray face." Adams was asked if he had not got Mc- Cue down on the floor and commenced to beat him. This he denied emphatically. When seen McCue said: ' "1 considered that I had fairly and squarely won the money. When Adams got an-;f v 1 started to walk away, saying I had all 1 wanted of the game, us there had been wrangling before. Adams owed me, and I said, "You keep away or you'll get hurt.' "Then he grabbed me by the neck and threw me to; the floor, Hurting my leg horribly. He went for me like a wild beast, tearing ray clothes, and fearing 1 was going to be killed I pulled my gun and fired." Peter O'Brien, a night watchman, went to the Parisian House and placed McCue tinder arrest. District Attorney E. B. Martinelli was summoned and McCue was taken before Justice of the T'-ace .George Rodden, where* O'Brien swore to a war- rani charging him ; with an assault to commit murder. Justice Rodden . fixed McCue's bonds a; |2000, which McCue ob- tained this morning and was released. j His bondsmen were Judge M. C. Dufficy ! and Timothy Day, both of San Rafael. An inspection of the office where the j shooting took place shows two holes made j by bullets in the ceiling, one on the north j and one on the south. James McCue, or "Jim," as he is known to thousands of residents in California, has for years been a prominent figure. He i* GO years old. Only recently he lodged a complaint with the Railroad ' Commissioners t-gafti'-t the fare charged by the North Pacific Coast road to Corte Madera, in Marin County, where he re- ; sid.s, owning a large stretch of country acquired through a Spanish grant years , ago. As a horseman and veterinary sur- geon he is known all over the coast, Jere Admi., the proprietor of the Parisian House, recently came into some notoriety in the Fair will case. Senator Fair stopped at his hostelry while in San j Rafael and, it is asserted, summoned Giili- \ -_an' 3 hack on the day he was supposed to j be in San Francisco with Mrs. Nettie R. j Craven. McCue is confined in bed to-night from his injuries, and his brother is authority for the statement that he dies not see how he managed to make his way from San Rafael to Corte Madera in his condi- tion. The Marin County authorities are i looking up the case. The diy lor Mc- ! Cue's hearing before Justice Rodden has j not yet been set. JAMES McCUE, Who Shot and 'Seriously Wounded Jere Adams at San Rafael Yesterday in a Quarrel Over a Game of Seven-Up. COAST FOREST RESERVES. Ex ens ye Investigations Having in View the Prese-vation of T mber Tnc's. TACOMA, Wash.. July 12. -The ques- tion of Government forestry reserves is to be thoroughly investigated this year, with a view of discovering the best methods of protecting the natural resources of the coast. Frederick V. Colville, at the head of the department of botany in the Agri- cultural Department of the United States, is here en route to Oregon and California : on a special mission tbat will occupy the entire summer. He expects to thoroughly investigate the Cascade Mountain and California reserves and procure data which will enable the department to act intelli- gently in matters connected with them. One question to be determined is how to deal with the sheep men who annually drive their herds into the northern re- serves. Another is how best to preserve !the timber areas, winch arid lands in the j valleys below are dependent upen for sup- I plies of water. The question of obtaining timber for the development of mines also comes up for consideration. The department must regulate the cutting of timber and prevent forest fires. _ 77 Colville believe that when the present investigations are completed it should be possible to preserve the natural forests from depredation and at the same time protect the industries of the country, giv- ing satisfaction to every one. He says the spoliation of forests by the annual spread of fires willdoubtless oe checked by a re- cent act of Convrrs*. which fixes the pen- alty for setting forest fires on any public lands at $5000 or two years' imprisonment, with a maximum penalty of both. FIND A LAKE OF PURE OIL Gigantic Petroleum Bed in Extreme Northern Alaska. • FED BY INNUMERABLE SPRINGS. Prospectors Discover a Body of the Liquid Miles in Length. SUPPLY SEEMS PRACTICALLY INEXHAUSTIBLE. Seattle Capitalists Form a Syndi- cate and File Mineral Claims Upon the Tract. -SEATTLE, Wash., July 12.— What is declared to be the most important and gigantic oil discovery anywhere on the faca of the globe has heen made in Alaska, the country so fabulously rich in gold and other precious metals. Although a single mine (the Treadwell) has yielded more than the $7,000,000 and a little upward that General Grant, then President, gave in the name of the United States some years ago for what was declared to be a wild waste, mountainous, inaccessible and unproductive, this and the Monte Cnsto- like tales of the famed Klondyke pale into significance in comparison with tbe new find. Last November two prospectors, one named Eddy, while scouring extreme Northern Alaska and up very near the j Arctic circle, came across a lake several ' miles wide and in places eight or ten miles in width, and of almost impenetrable depth, of what appeared to be crude coal oil or petroleum. From a hasty examina- tion it appeared to them that the lake was fed by an innumerable number of oil , springs in the sands and mountainous banks forming it. Further search revealed great Veins and ledges of coal. With the characteristic secretiveness of the trained gold-hunter, the two prospect- ors took ample samples both of the oil and coal deposits. They came at once to Seattle and reported the result of their discovery to Charles F. Mundav of the law firm of While <fc Munday. This gen- tleman had had tests made of the petro- leum, which was pronounced productive, first-grade coal oil. He was informed, in short, that the great oil fields of Pennsyl- vania, Ohio and Indiana yielded no better oil; that if be had a sufficient quantity , he needed no other guarantee of a lortune. Munday enlisted a number of friends and citizens of Seattle, among them T. J. Hamilton, who was United States Marshal for the Territory of Washington during the first term of Grover Cleveland. Se- cretly they organized a company and sent five or six men. including three or four of j | the best oil and coal experts of the East, ! to examine the discovery made ty the i ! prospectors. These men returned to : Seattle on the last Alaska steamer, the ' Toneka. Their report, in brief, is that this lake constitutes the greatest body of oil ever discovered. They pronounce it almost pure oil and say that it is fed by an in- numerable number of springs, apparently as lasting as the ages. Their stories are almost incredible, and but for the estab- lished reputations and reliability of the men would not b<. believed. The coal deposits surrounding the lake, according to these authorities, are appar- ently inexhaustible. The coal is of n good grade and of a very shallow depth, and the surface indications are that there is enough of it to supply fuel for the whole of the United States for an indefinite number of years. In the name of the company the ex- perts and agents sent north to examine these properties took up 8800 acres of land, including the coal oil lake. They have complied with ail the mineral laws' requirements and the company will at once proceed to the development of its property. The lake is within two miles of the ocean, a sufficient guarantee of the acces- sibility of the great property. So close it is, in fact, that the experts report that the oil is actually oozing and scaping out into the ocean. It is reported that the Stan- dard Oil Company is already endeavoring to purchase both the oil and coal proper- ties; that while the owners have been in- vestigating they have alio had secret agents at work.

SUICIDE OFN. C. CREEDE
The Millionaire Mine-Owner Dies at Los
Angeles.
TAKES AN OVERDOSE OFMORPHINE. .
His Physicians' StatementThat It Was Accidental
Discredited.
WAS WORRIED BY DOMESTICTROUBLES.
Career of the Bonanza King, Who
Tcok Millions From Colo-rado Mines.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 12.—Mill-ionaire Nicholas C. Creede, the miner who
became famous as the discoverer of theColorado bonanza and whose name is im-
mortalized by the town of Creede, which
he founded, died in this city to-night asthe result of taking an overdose of mor-phine. That is what the doctors say, butthe Coroner's jury to-morrow will prob-ably call it suicide.
About 8 o'clock this evening Mr. Creedewas found unconscious in an arbor in thegarden of his mansion on Figueroa andSixth streets. The servant who made thediscovery gave the alarm and a doctorwas summoned, the unconscious form be-ing in the meantime carried into the
house. A second doctor was called andthe two made strenuous efforts to restoreconsciousness, but all to no avail.
At 10:30 o'clock Creede was declareddead, and the Coroner was notified, thefamily and immediate friends havingalready gathered about the bedside. Theattending physicians gave it as theiropinion that the millionaire miner hadcome to his death by taking an overdoseof morphine about 5 o'clock, just beforehis dinner hour.
Investigation elicited the informationfrom members of the household that Mr.Creede had been accustomed to the use ofmorphine, one person being authority forthe statement that he had habituallyused the drug for the past fourteen years.
The millionaire minor has for the pastfour years lived ina fine mansion knownas the "Northam house" on Fieueroastreet, having purchased the place about ayear after arriving in this city to make hishome here.
Of late the only relatives he had in thegreat house were the members of thefamily of his brother-in-law, Mr. Pfeiffer.An adopted daughter two years of age isnow visiting at Elsinore Springs and hiswife has been away from him since lastDecember. The movements of his wifemay have a significant bearing upon thetragedy in that garden arbor, for she re-turned to the city a few days ago and, it
is said, had already given great annoyanceto him.
Creede and his wife parted last Decem-her, he givingher $20,000 cash as a settle-ment, the agreement being that sheshould not return to him. It is notknown where Mrs. Creede has been during
these months, but she reappeared on thescene so recently and to-night her hus-band lies in the morgue.
There are no living witnesses toCroede's last deed. Whether he took onlyhis ordinary dose of morphine, but ill-timed so soon before his dinner, orwhether he deliberately swallowed aquantity of the drug to bring permanentsurcease of sorrow, the Coroner will tryto discover.
The members of the household willnotconsent to the suicide story, claiming thatboth Creede and his wife were habitualusers of the drug and his death must havebeen accidental.
Since coming to Los Angeles from Colo-rado, about five years ago, Creede haskept in comparative retirement, livinginluxury at his Figueroa-street house.
Last year he and his wife adopted anorpnan girl, then but an infant, butdomestic difficulties, the real nature ofwhich is not commonly known, broke upthe family, and after she had received alump sum of money from her husbandMr.--. Creede went away ana the child wastent to Elsinore.
CreeJe is supposed to have retained hislargo holdings in Colorado mines, deriv-ing therefrom a great income. So far asknown he did not make any extensive in-vestments in Los Angeles. His wealthhas been computed far up in the mil-lions.
CAREER OF CRBEHE.
Followed a Miner's Fortunes and at LastStruck It Rich.
The career of N. C. Creede was one ofhardship and adversity. After the warhe drifted West and became a scout. Ascaptain of a band of scouts he fought theIndians for several years on the frontier.
In the early seventies he went to Colo-rado and began the life of a prospector.
For nearly twenty years he drifted up anddown the Rocky Mountains, spending
most of his time in this State. He suf-fered all the vicissitudes of his chosen life.
Occasionally he struck it rich enough
to sell out and obtain a year's grub stake,
but 'more often he was broke and wasforced to work at whatever he could toget enough money together to once moreroam among his beloved mountains.He was always confident, however, thattome day he would strike itrich.
The winter of 1890 found him "busted"in the little town of Del Norte. There akindly butcher grubstaked him at the ex-pense of less than $100, with the resultthat both were made rich, and thegreatsilver camp of Creede was founded.
The story of now It was accomplishedwas best told in his own words in an inter-view published two years ago. Said he:
lam an Indlanian by birth. Iwas born atFort Wayne, that Slate, in1843. Myparentstook me to lowa when 1was iiyears old, and Ihave never been east of the Mississippi since.In1862, whenIwas 19, Ivolunteered in theUnited States army, aud lor seven yearsserved as a scout with the Pawnees. Ire-ceived the nay of a first lieutenant, thoughIheld no rank.Iwent all through Nebraska, Colorado, Wyo-ing, Montana and the Bad Lands of the
Dakotus in the early days. Iwas inthe BlackHillsbeiore gold was discovered, and when 1heard of that excitement itset mo to think-ing about my lost opportunities. Ibegan totalk to everybody Imet who Ithought hadany knowledge of minerals, and by thismeans Ipicked up sufficient knowledge totell silver and gold. float when Isawthen*.. But I've never bothered ..muchwith gold—it's too uncertain. 1left the army
in ISO!., and have been climbing over themountains lv the West ever since. 1 usuallytook a man along with me, though often Icould got no one for love or money to accom-pany me. Ihave stayed in the mountains aslong as the snow would let me, and manytimes Ihave gone for months without seeinga human being. My outfit usually consistedof from two to Tour burros, laden with tentequipments and provision* to last fourmonths.
The comml-SAry contained flour, meal, lard,butter, sal', pepper, pork and beans. I'm apretty good shot, and always counted on kill-ing deer and mountain partridges for myfresh meat. The mountain streams affordedme excellent trout fishing. Ever angle forthese little devils up here? No? Well you'vemissed the rarest sport of your life. Whew!but they are game 1 They'llright you till theyare utterlyexhausted, and then ifyou are notquick they'll take to cover under a log orrock, and cause you to lose both lish and line.
Twice Ihave had pneumonia 'way up inthese mountains. Luckily,1had a companioneach time orIwouldn't be here to tell youabout it. My last attack was about eighteenmonths ago, and it came very near finishingme. We were fourteen miles from the nearestdoctor. Tnat's a good long distance in themountains. Mycompanion had to go for thephysician and Iwas left alone one entirenight. God, how Isuffered. 1 thought a mil-lion poisoned Indian arrows were piercing mybreast at once.
.Finally,when the doctor did reach me hehad only a shackly oid farm wagon withoutsprings to carry me to Wagon Wheel Gap. If1 hadn't keenly realized the danger and bymyown efforts pronp^d myself up in tne wagonthe ride would have killed me. After twomonths of close care and attention Ipulledthrough. Yousee what shape I'min now. Ifthe pneumonia strikes me again I'm a goner.
In May, 1890, Istruck s me float on the sideof Mammoth Mounts I'ie.i my burro
-and
began to follow lt. 1 climb.-d the mountainalong the trailof the float all day. The sunwas beating down on me, nnd the glintof thefloat under mv feet was binding. Just whentbe western sky was tinged with that gor-geous red we see lice sometimes 1 liftedmyhead, .and there was, prrjecting out in frontof me, in invitingshap?, a huge bowlder ofsilicate big as a house.
Tnat's where the float Ihad followed all dayhad come from. Good God! Ialmost screamedwith delight. Iknew it was bound to comesome day, but the idea of finding it ln suchshape was appal, to me. But, to make along story short,Istaked it off, and it wasmine. Inamed it the Mammoth. When 1went back to my camp that night 1 slept as Ihadn't for months before.l knew there must be some of it close
around, and Ikept at work fora month, untilin June Ifound tne Ethel. As to the Holy-Moses, about which the newspapers haveweaved so many fairy tales, Ifound that onmy first trip here in 1881). Itwas on June25, and Ilocated it the second day after strik-ing the float. The (1 ff is on the same vein.They are both InCampbell Mountain. Igiveit the name riolyMoses simply because 1likeodd names.

ROUGH OA WHITTIER HOIS.
HillIe Heprired of Their Usual Taca-lion This Tear.
LOS ANGELES. Cal., July 12.—E therto punish the cadets for their recent di.--play of insubordination or. to make anotable departure from the -policy of theprevious administration, tho trusteesof Whittier State School have decidedthat the usual summer encampment ofthe boys on Catalina Island willbe omit-ted this year. The boys can get over thewhippings they received for their at-tempted uprising, bit to be deprived ofthe summer vacation on the island willmake them "sore." But ths trustees sodecreed to-day that the edict "goes."
Superintendent Van'Alstyne says that
all the boys at the school are attendingto routine except six or eight of the re-bellious leaders, who are kept in confine-ment. The present administration ex-presses tne opinion that tho friction didnot arise from the inexperience of thenew force of officers and employes, butfrom the fact that under the previousmanagement the boys were treated toowell. The trustees do not fear the threatof prosecution for excessive punishmentof the boys who led the recent so-calledriot.

QUARREL AS THEYPLAYSEVEN-UP.
The Horseman Resents an In-sinuation That He Stole
Points.
THEIR STORIES OF THE AFFAIRDIFFER.
Each Claims That the Other WcStho Aggressor— Adams Will
Recover.
SAN RAFAEL, Cal., Jnly 12.—James S.McCue, the horseman, fired two shotsfrom a revolver at Jere Adams, the pro-prietor of the Parisian House, this morn-ing at 2 o'clock while the men were quar-reling over a game of seven-ip iv the of-
fice of tho hotel. One of the bulletsgrazed Adams' forehead, while the otherentered tho skin under the jaw and, fol-lowing an upward cour-e, passed throughthe flesh, coming out just below the eye
and making an ugly wound. Dr. Jones ofSan Rafael, who attended the injuredman, said that the course of the bulletwas peculiar and, had the lead gone aQuarter of an inch to the right or the left,an artery would have been severed andthe chance of saving Adams' life rendereddoubtful. As it was, the doctor said,without a doubt the wounded man wouldbe brought around all right if bloodpoisoning did not set in.
The stories told by the principals con-cerning the facts leading up to the affraydiffer somewhat. There were no wit-nesses present. The men were in theoffice of the Parisian House playing seven-up. McCue, who lives at Corte Madera,had driven over toSan Rafael and droppedin to pay Adams a friendly visit. Themen have known each other for twentyyears.
The game was started and the limit wasplaced at 50 cents. As the evening passedand the excitement grew Itwas agreed toplay for a larger sum, und gradually itwas raised to $5. Then \u25a0 dispute arose,
an d both men made a grab for the moneyon the table. Adam"- scooped it towardhtm. Blows followed. Up to this pointboth men agree, but regarding the affairfrom this point on the participants telldifferent stories. 7V.
McCue assorts that Adams struck him,and in the quarrel got him down uponthe floor and commenced to beat him.When he found himself in this positionlie called upon Adams to let him up.Adams would not do it, and McCue drewhis revolver from his pocket, and fromhis position on the floor firedat Adams.
Jere Adams is about 41 years old and anative of Switzerland. He has lived inMarin County foi many years. To-dayhe lay upon a bed in room 21 of the Pari-sian House with his head bound up incloths. Dr. Jones' orders were not toallow, any one to see the man. but Adamsgranted an Interview to The Call repre-sentative who visited him. He was hardlyable to speak, and what he said was ut-tered in whispers.
"We were playing seven-up," said he,and Ihad found that McCue bad countedone point more than he was entitled to,and Itold him go. The boys told meearlier in the evening not to play, asMcCue/ would 'do me up'; but 1 "haveknown him a long time and Idid notthink he woulddo what he did. Itis dis-graceful.
"Well, whenItold McCue that he' wascounting one point too much he didn'tlike it and said that he had done no suchthing. Imade a grab for the money andhe did the same, but Igot the money, andthen be pulled out his pistol and fired atme. Idid not feel hurt, but the bloodcovered ray face."
Adams was asked if he had not got Mc-Cue down on the floor and commenced tobeat him. This he denied emphatically.
When seen McCue said:'
"1 considered that Ihad fairly andsquarely won the money. When Adamsgot an-;f v 1 started to walk away, saying Ihad all 1 wanted of the game, us there hadbeen wrangling before. Adams owedme, and Isaid, "You keep away or you'llget hurt.'
"Then he grabbed me by the neck andthrew me to; the floor, Hurting my leghorribly. He went for me like a wildbeast, tearing ray clothes, and fearing 1was going to be killed Ipulled my gunand fired."
Peter O'Brien, a night watchman, wentto the Parisian House and placed McCuetinder arrest. District Attorney E. B.Martinelli was summoned and McCue wastaken before Justice of the T'-ace .GeorgeRodden, where* O'Brien swore to a war-rani charging him ;with an assault to
commit murder. Justice Rodden . fixedMcCue's bonds a; |2000, which McCue ob-tained this morning and was released. jHis bondsmen were Judge M. C. Dufficy!and Timothy Day, both of San Rafael.
An inspection of the office where the jshooting took place shows two holes made jby bullets in the ceiling, one on the north jand one on the south.
James McCue, or "Jim," as he is knownto thousands of residents in California,has for years been a prominent figure.He i* GO years old. Only recently helodged a complaint with the Railroad
'
Commissioners t-gafti'-t the fare chargedby the North Pacific Coast road to CorteMadera, in Marin County, where he re- ;sid.s, owning a large stretch of countryacquired through a Spanish grant years ,ago. As a horseman and veterinary sur-geon he is known all over the coast,

COAST FOREST RESERVES.
Ex ens ye Investigations Having in View
the Prese-vation of T mberTnc's.
TACOMA, Wash.. July 12. -The ques-tion ofGovernment forestry reserves is tobe thoroughly investigated this year, witha view ofdiscovering the best methods ofprotecting the natural resources of thecoast. Frederick V. Colville, at the headof the department of botany in the Agri-
cultural Department of the United States,is here en route to Oregon and California
:on a special mission tbat will occupy theentire summer. He expects to thoroughlyinvestigate the Cascade Mountain andCalifornia reserves and procure data whichwillenable the department to act intelli-gently in matters connected with them.
One question to be determined is howto deal with the sheep men who annuallydrive their herds into the northern re-serves. Another is how best to preserve
!the timber areas, winch arid lands in thejvalleys below are dependent upen for sup-Iplies of water.
The question of obtaining timber for thedevelopment of mines also comes up forconsideration. The department mustregulate the cutting of timber and preventforest fires. _ 77
Colville believe that when the presentinvestigations are completed it should bepossible to preserve the natural forestsfrom depredation and at the same timeprotect the industries of the country, giv-ing satisfaction to every one. He says thespoliation of forests by the annual spreadof fires willdoubtless oe checked by a re-cent act of Convrrs*. which fixes the pen-alty for setting forest fires on any publiclands at $5000 or two years' imprisonment,witha maximum penalty of both.

Seattle Capitalists Form a Syndi-

-SEATTLE, Wash., July 12.— What isdeclared to be the most important andgigantic oil discovery anywhere on thefaca of the globe has heen made inAlaska,
the country so fabulously rich in gold andother precious metals. Although a singlemine (the Treadwell) has yielded morethan the $7,000,000 and a little upwardthat General Grant, then President, gavein the name of the United States someyears ago for what was declared to be awild waste, mountainous, inaccessible andunproductive, this and the Monte Cnsto-like tales of the famed Klondyke pale intosignificance in comparison with tbe newfind.
Last November two prospectors, onenamed Eddy, while scouring extremeNorthern Alaska and up very near the jArctic circle, came across a lake several
'
miles wide and in places eight or tenmiles in width, and ofalmost impenetrabledepth, of what appeared to be crude coaloilorpetroleum. From a hasty examina-tion it appeared to them that the lakewas fed by an innumerable number of oil ,springs in the sands and mountainousbanks forming it. Further search revealedgreat Veins and ledges of coal.
With the characteristic secretiveness ofthe trained gold-hunter, the two prospect-ors took ample samples both of the oiland coal deposits. They came at once toSeattle and reported the result of theirdiscovery to Charles F. Mundav of thelaw firm of While <fc Munday. This gen-tleman had had tests made of the petro-leum, which was pronounced productive,first-grade coal oil. He was informed, inshort, that the great oil fields of Pennsyl-vania, Ohio and Indiana yielded no betteroil; that if be had a sufficient quantity ,he needed no other guarantee ofa lortune.
Munday enlisted a number of friendsand citizens of Seattle, among them T. J.Hamilton, who was United States Marshalfor the Territory of Washington duringthe first term of Grover Cleveland. Se-cretly they organized a company and sentfive or six men. including three or four of j
| the best oil and coal experts of the East,!to examine the discovery made ty the i!prospectors. These men returned to :
Seattle on the last Alaska steamer, the'
Toneka.Their report, in brief, is that this lake
constitutes the greatest body of oil everdiscovered. They pronounce it almostpure oiland say that it is fed by an in-numerable number of springs, apparentlyas lasting as the ages. Their stories arealmost incredible, and but for the estab-lished reputations and reliability of themen would not b<. believed.
The coal deposits surrounding the lake,according to these authorities, are appar-ently inexhaustible. The coal is of ngoodgrade and of a very shallow depth, andthe surface indications are that there isenough of itto supply fuel for the wholeof the United States for an indefinitenumber of years.
In the name of the company the ex-perts and agents sent north to examinethese properties took up 8800 acres ofland, including the coal oil lake. Theyhave complied withail the mineral laws'requirements and the company will atonce proceed to the development of itsproperty.
The lake is within two miles of theocean, a sufficient guarantee of the acces-sibility of the great property. So close itis, in fact, that the experts report that theoilis actually oozing and scaping out intothe ocean. It is reported that the Stan-dard Oil Company is already endeavoringto purchase both the oil and coal proper-ties; that while the owners have been in-vestigating they have alio had secretagents at work.
