Republican: For years a little “shack” at the east end of River street has been the hang-out for some of the most degraded specimens of the human race to be found in ‘Truckee. The place was the house of Kate Simmons, otherwise ‘known as “Truckee Kate,” an old woman who has been in Truckee for over 80 years. She is of good family, and at one time was considered a remarkably handsome woman and possessed of unusual mental endowments. She “fell by the wayside,” however, and led a life of shame. Finally she became a victim to the terrible drug, morphine, and gradually sunk to the lowest-depths. Yesterday, her house was raided by the officers. ent sessiun of the Legislature. There-} With her were found another woman, Report comes from Vancouver, B. G., hydraulic mines, in $100,000 worth couver and Victoria which isto serve its force of 160 men for five months beginning next July. The cost of freighting the goods to the mines alone $49,535 was paid ont, for groceries $15,~ 000, dry goods, shoes, ete., $2,000, hardware $2,000, and miscellaneous mining machinery $11,000. The freighting of these goods by wagon will consume the. time between now and July. They will go over the Ashcroft trail and from Ashcroft to the mines, 200 miles, they will be hauled by wagons. J.B. Hobson, the company’s. general manager, who made the ‘purchases, speaking of the Cariboo district, said: “There is a great country up in Cariboo, You may think we mine on an extensive scale, but there is room for Jots more. All we want-is capital, and were the mining laws favorable there would be no trouble in getting $100,000,000 for investment,” Mayor Phelan Scores the Press. Mayor Phelan does not seem to have many friends among the newspapers of the metropolis, and he has but little chance to be heard except when he gets the peopie together. They had a meeting. the other day to talk over municipal affairs and the Mayor was invited to talk. The Oakland Tribune reports the substance of his speech, and as most men—and women, too— like to see areal live kick back from an attacked party, we quote this much: “In the columns of most of the San Francisco papers you*will see the advertisement of certain lottery lists and drawings. These foreign lotteries drain hundreds of thousands of dollars annually from our State. The papers are loud in denunciations of lotteries in Chinatown, but five papers rof San Francisco receive $50,000 a year for advertising the foreign lotteries, or $10,000 each annuallyin the form of a bribe, While making a great outery against gambling in Ohinatown, our newspapers are some of them domin-— ated by race-track gamblers. You know that no relief could be looked to from the Legislature which was under the influence of the race-track interests which center at Emeryville. You see that the press cannot be relied upon to direct the public from disinterested motives. Where the motives of the press are sordid and selfish the people are quick to discredit it. The people have no confidence in a press that is venal and corrupt.” Death of Samuel A. Mitchell. Rev. Wm. Angwin received a telegram today from Oakland announcing the death of Samuel A. Mitchell at that place. He was-a former resident : f this city and well known to many of our people.When here he followed the occupation of mining and left here abont ten years ago. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias. The funeral will take place at Oakland tomorrow afternoon, Deserved Praise. We take this opportunity of stating that we have followed soméwhat closely the Legislative record made by Senator Tyrrell and Assemblyman Irish, and we are freeto say that, in our opinion, the people of their respective districts have no grounds for complaint.

For explosives alone} with the oil fields of Kern and other oil counties, Mr. Congdon made all the locations in the famous 28-28. In the performance of his duties he became thorougbly familiar with the oil flelds conversation with a Post representative Mr, Congdon was enthusiastic re—} garding the outlook for oil in general, and gave derable inf that will prove of interest to oil men. _ “The oil fields in that section,” he said, : rise a.radins of about 150 miles, and including those. well-known districts, the Kern river, MoKittrick, Midway, Sunset, Ooalinga, Devil’s Den, Temblor, Poso Creek, Rag Gulch and /others not so well known. The belt follows the foothills on either side, from the junction of the Sierra Nevada and Mt. Diablo ranges about-Tehachapi pass up into Contra Costa county. The Mt. Diablo range, passing through Coalinga, Temblor, McKittrick and. Sunset, shows the greatest amount of disturbance, thus indicating the greater accumulation of gases and consequent internal action. : “An evidence of this disturbance ia the curious formation caused by a. severe earthquake some years since. This is a seeming embankment resembling an irrigation levee some four feet wide, running in a straight line for a distance of forty miles from a few miles north of Sunset along the slope of the Mt. Diablo range and disappearing out in the plains not far distant from Brad ley or San Miguel. It passes’ through the McKittrick on the. lower slope of the range and its center is on the eastern edge of San Luis Obispo county, about opposite the Carisa plains. “This dike-like tormation originally was a crevice in the earth four feet wide, caused by the earthquake referred to, and it has since been filled in. So noticeable is it to the casual observer that strangers first seeing it are wont ‘to ask, ‘What is that?’ Not one in a hundred but takes it to be the handiwork of man. And so out of place is it and -so apparently useless that the observer wonders what purpose man had in constructing it. And realizing finally that it was caused by a eonyulsion of nature, the sight becomes awe-inspiring. But the quick eye of the experienced oil expert: who delved in beyond the sentimental to the praetical realized that there was a canse for so queer an antic on the part of mother nature, and knew it must bave been: generated from a deposit of oil, gnd.while the scientific mind was speculating as to the cause of earthquakes ‘the wily man of oil recorded locations of petroleum lands. “But there are many surprises in nature, and while the oil belt was known to follow the line of the Mt.Diablo range, and while it was supposed that certain surface signs indicated the presence of oil below, the oil men went east of the range and across the San Joaquin valley and developed oil in the Kern River field, where there were no signs, and there they found the oil~strata lying flat, comparatively, while in the range it was infolds or steeper inclines. At Kern Riverit is assumed the field is the edge or border of an extinct inland sea, while the McKittrick and other fields along Mt: Diablo were brought to, the surface by the upheaval of the range. The oil belt along this range, from Sunset and by McKittrick to Ooalinga, is about eightyfive miles long, and its continuation north is buta matter. of conjecture, though it has been demonstrated to extend on up into Oontra Oosta county. As to its width at the point where the Astor and Buffaio properties lie, it is fully thirty miles wide. “It was a popular error that the oil belt upon which McKittrick proper is lovated extended to the developments at Sunset. There are, in fact, four of these belts running parallel. The first, upon which Sunset is located, runs northwesterly to the west of McKittrick, and on this the Astor and Buffalo properties lie. The second belt runs to the east of this and to the west of McKittrick proper. This belt as yet is undeveloped. On the third belt are the big producers of McKittrick. “To give a fair idea of its location one may locate the Kern River gusher and the Dabneys and follow down ina Lizzie Murphy, a character of similar. worthy of the confidence reposed in. southeasterly direction, across 6 31-28, habits ; a negro, Andrew Loper, and an Indian, known as Asa Willis or “Indian Dick.” All were intoxicated. The plage was filthy and evil smelling, and the signs of recent carousals were everywhere apparent. Befcre Justice Finnegan the entire party, having pleaded guilty to the charge of disturbing the peace were sentenced to the county jail for thirty days. The house will be destroyed, and the’ vile den, long an eyesore to the citizens of the town will be no more, Constable Long’of Truckee arrived here to-day with Kate Simmons, Andrew Loper and Lizzie Murphy, the trio above referred to, and took them to the County Jail, where they wil serve a term of thirty days each. Will be a Big Party. The April Fool dance to be given at Armory Hall a week from tonight by the Knights of Pythias will be a great success, enough tickets having already been sold to insure a large attendance. This will be one of those parties where spectators as well as dancers can enjoy themselves for there are to be some unfeatures which all usual and amusing Will relish,‘ The following business was -transacted in the Superior Coart (Bday.

From the Four-Corners it is learned that the two dredgers operating above Wheatland are money makers, J ust how much gold is taken out the public may never know. For some time report has been current that two more dredgers will beconstructed. This week we receive almost conclusive evidence that one dredger at least will be ilt at once and put to work near where the two machines are now in operation: Weather Prediction.

The foxrth belt runs east of this,and so far has not been developed. All four of these belts are equally promising.” Having proved to his satisfaction the lay of the land as regards these belts, Mr. Congdon took steps to locate certain lands on them. “There is no question,” he continued, these belts, and it is not necessary to” sink deep to get it. As to transportation, the oil can be easily and economically conveyed to McKittrick by a gravity pipe line, or west to the coast line by a feasible railroad line. The old agitation has: been raised again iu Bakersfield fora line to Port Harford, or rather to San Luis Obispo, a distance of but about, sixty’ miles, and there to connect. with the short line now in operation to Port Harford. Chicago capitalists also have sucha road under consideration, and if they build they will have a line direct to Bakersfield from Port Harford. “Kern river has received earlier attention. 5 “McKittrick has equally as good an outlook, and. great activity may be looked for there from now-on. “The Kern river field is so fully developed that promotion work must go to the other fields. The McKittrick field might ba said to comprise the whole Mount Diablo range, therefore it is long, while the Kern river is wide, and owing to there being more room in. which to operate. in McKittrick, greater results might be looked for in that fleld. “In this district is the heart of the oil belt, and from it there will be the greatest production. Nearly all the big operators are interesting themselves there,” — ; : Your sideboard at home is incomplete if not-stocked with Jesse Moore “AA” whiskey. ‘ capacity he early became acquainted . throughout the southern districts.

FUNNY SPECTACLES. the Streets of Paris, “Did you ever see a street fight in France?” asked an artist who had lately returned from Paris. “They are funny spectacles. I sdw one once while passing the Bal Buillier at midnight. Two little Frenchmen walked along in front of me, engaged in conversation. A third little Frenchman ran up on tiptoe from behind somewhere and kicked the taller of the talkera, between the shoulder blades. He went down with a ery, turned a somersault into the gutter and lay there. . . ° ; , “And instantly—how, I don’t know— that street was full of hundreds of little Frenchmen, fighting and chattering and screeching. They didn’t tse their fists. They slapped, scratched, pulled whiskers and hair and, above all, kicked—kicked in the high French manner, not landing where we Americans land, but getting h on the face and neck and on the back be tween the shoulders. For five minutes there was pandemonium, and then as suddenly as it had begun the brawl was over and the boulevard was still again, “But afterward in all the boulevard cafes you found torn and bleeding Frenchmen, who leaned ba¢k limply in their chairs while their little ladyloves wiped daintily with their skirts the blood stains from thé faces of those herole scrappers. The little ladies wept and murmured sweet, consoling things; the little men seemed in the depth of despair; but it wasn’t long before little drinks were ordered and little cigarettes lighted and everybody was gay and happy again.” — Philadelphia Record. ere . Bad a Good Start, fFwo colored men on a late Long gtreet car were congratulating one another. wedded. “Sam, I understand youse tookin’ unto youseself a new woman?” said Mr. Johnston. “I'll kunfess I’ze guilty,” meekly responded Sam, his countenance covered with a broad grin, “Did you all get.a good start?” Sam was apparently very anxious to answer this question and in a much louder tone said: “Well, I should say I did get a good start. I got an old woman wid eleben little pickaninnies.” Everybody who heard the remark was satisfied Sam. had really a good start.—Columbus (O.)
