Dollars by Signing Contracts
"With the Association.
FRESNO, Auj,'. 31.— The Republican has

Kearney, who' Is now in New York, ap
pealing to the raisin growers to sign the
contracts at once. Af te~r - urging ' the
raisin men to pin their faith to the ability
of the directors, Mr. Kearney says:
Although Terrell has been denounced as
a fraud by the NeTi/Tork World, he has
had a prosperous time.
In" Terrell's possession was found a list
of \ 200 persons in San Francisco from
whom -he had obtained sums of money.
Among these were Alex Greggains the
fighter, and F. S. Skaggs of the St. Nich
olas Hotel.
At the County ; Jail to-day Terrell said
his home -was in Utica, New Tork, and
that he was 28 years of age. He has fol
lowed the profession of a trick btcycle
rider since he was 14 years old, performing
on the streets and passing the hat. On
June 6, 1900, he left the New York World
office for a tour of the United States, but
he says he was not authorized by the
World. He came direct to San Francisco.
This was nine rnonths ago and since then
he has made a trip to New Orleans and
back, and also . to Portland, Oregon.

Ii appears that considerable gold which
has been sold in Tucson and elsewhere
came from these new diggings, which
were discovered months ago by the shep
herd and were worked quietly.
A laree number of claims have been
staked out and half dozen Americans are
taking out from S5 to $15 a day. They re

they get to bedrock. Water is scarce in
the canyon and they are ! compelled to
pack gravel which bears gold to a distant
stream. -"
The discovery was made by a Mexican
shepherd some time ago, but he kept it
secret. A few days ago he was discharged
and went to Dos Cabezas, where he be
came Intoxicated. His money gave out
and a saloon keeper refused to give him
more whisky. The Mexican flashed a bot
tle which was filled with nuggets of gold
and at once efforts were begun .to learn
whence the gold came. The Mexican did
not have to pay for any more whisky
during his stay In camp. He refused to
reveal the location of the gold fields, but
a friend who arrived in camp persuaded
the discoverer to take him out to the dig
gings.

ranges from $5 to SS a cord, depending on
how far it mujt be hauled. There is the
expense of loading- the wood on the boats
and that of firing and wood passing all

"•The saving by the use of petroleum
will be enormous. In the oil fields of

Mr. Morch, "and as soon as the oil ar
rives the first t'.ip with petroleum as fuel
¦will be made. In order to make a thor

used. That quantity would make a full
cargo for a tteamer, as each
weighs 500 pounds. If the experiment
proves a success, oil tanks will be placed
at stations between Dawson and White
Horse, so only a comparatively small
amount need be carried on board the
steamer using it.

BELVEDERE, Aug. 31.— The feud which
has so long" existed between the cliff
dwellers and the Kelpie men of this place
was held In abeyance last night, when
chosen representatives of i both parties
met and contested for honors on the
friendly field of vaudeville. The big room
in the hotel was cleared for the event. A
stage had been erected at one end, while
the balance of the spacewas given over to
seats, which, though accommodating
nearly 200. were altogether too few for the'
number that had congregated to watch
their champions attempt to be as funny
as they are reputed to be. In order to
provide sustenance as well as entertain
ment an admission of 25 cents was
charged. IL.iough of a fund was acquired
to provide af sumptuous supper.
The performance was advertised to
commence at S o'clock. After a delay
which was almost professional In Its
duration,- the flag was dropped and off
they started, with the Corinthian quar
tet In the lead. The quartet was com
posed of Frank Thompson. Edgar F.
Sagar, Walter Howe and "Eddie" Angela.
Then came Joe Rosborough of the High
land Park Coliseum, who sang 'a serious
song in a serious baritone voice. 'Mr.
Rosborough made such a hit that he was
encored several times.
Mrs. Van Horn rendered a recitation*
and applauding listeners compelled her to
repeat it. She was followed by Mrs. F. C.
Youngberg, who has a beautiful voice and
knows how to use it so well that she need
not fear to enter the Iist3 with the best
of professional talent.
Alex Rosborough. the other one of the
brothers, did a number of clever special
ties. Mr. Rosborough explained his ver
satility by saying that he was twins and
consequently It came easy to him to do
several things at once.
Dr. Green did his famous hobo act and
did it so well that the stuffed property
dog was seen to exhibit marked signs of
uneisiness.
The monologue part of the entertain
ment was assigned to "Binky" McKinnon.
"Binky" gave a very clever talk, parody-
Ing life on the arks and pointing out "in
his inimitable manner the fancies and
foibles of the curious persons who are to
be found stranded along the stretches of
these, shores.
| -When Mr. McKinnon had been driven
oft the stage, Oscar Franks reoderetjva
tenor solo, which he was' compelled to
repeat again, and again before his-audi
ence would let him go.
The affair ended with a few selections
by the "Bum Quartet," composed of
"Dud" Dean. "Binky" McKinnon. Alex
.Rosborough and Dr. Green. "Dud" and
his three accessories managed to escape
without any serious casualties.
From start- to- finish the show went
along with remarkable smoothness. There
was but one intermission and tha f . was
charmingly filled In by a violin solo by
Miss Grace Saunderson. | Maurice Kramer
and Miss Elsie Maxwell acted as accom
panists, and not a little of the pleasure
of the evening is to be attributed to the
excellence of their work. The affair was
a success and as every one had something
to' do with it. every one is happy. $
