The reason of James J. Jeffries' sudden'
change of plans regarding training quar
ters has become public. It seems when
he was first approached on the subject of
settling: down at El Campo he thought
favorably of that resort. At that time he
was told there would be but one picnic a
week to disturb him. After- he decided to
train there he found his presence wus be
ing used as an attraction to draw more
picnics to the grounds. To make matters
worse some one announced that Jeffries
and Pltzsimmons would judge and start
all the picnic games. This was too much
for the big boxer, who took the first train
for Harbin. He left Delaney and Eagan
behind to straighten out affairs with the
El Campo people. The new handball
court is ready for any players who may
wish to use. it.

GRIDLEY, June 26.— The Sacramento
Valley Land Company, composed of prom
inent San Francisco business men, has
jtfil purchased through its president, C.
M. Wooster, the Kagan ranch of 1200
acres, situated three miles southeast of
this town. This Is one of the most im
portant land trades made in the north
ern part of the State in many years and
it secures to the land company a most
desirable parcel of land. It is the purpose
of the company to put the land under
ditch and offer it for sale in email tracts
for the planting of vines, oranges and
alfalfa.
Big Land Deal Is Consummated.
Professor Thomas Dare, the scientific
trainer of ex-Champion James J. Cor
bett, is holding a whip hand on the big
boxer these days' to prevent Jim from
doing all of his training at one time. Yes
terday Corbett did no work at all at his
quarters at Croll's Gardens. His pro
gramme on the day previous w'as the
same. Jim now feels as lively as an un
broken mustang and keeps Professor.
Dare wide awake to determine which way
the big fellow will next Jump. Dare be
lieves all work and no rest would make
Jim a dull fighter and he means to have
his noted pupil take things easier. With
him the trainer does not have to say,
"Do this," but on the contrary the usual
command is. "Quit that." Professor Dare
is satisfied to see Jim lounge about In the
open and breathe in his fill of healthy
Alameda ozone. Corbett believes "*rhat
this can be better done if he. goes on
the road, but his trainer comes back -at
him with* the theory that it is not how
fast a man breathes but the manner in
which he breathes that brings the best
results. Dare holds that regular exercise
at deep breathing, holding the breath and
expanding the chest are the better ways
of increasing the staying qualities of one's
lungs. He says greater benefits can be
derived from .this sort of exercise than
tramping on the road.

Kills a Large Mountain Lion.
That Lepley was not killed outright
seemed a miracle. A minute before the
explosion the workman was on the head
of the big steel reservoir intending to
examine the distillate fluid therein when
he started down the ladder. Lepley was
blown off. by the explosion and^a sheet
of flame from the ignited oil shot by him.
The heavy steel tank cover was blown
100 feet Into the air and landed with a
crash. The shock smashed windows
about the works and at Point Richmond.
Employes hastened to the scene. Lepley
was taken in hand by the works' physi
cian and pumps were set to draw off the
oil from the tank. There were 5000 gal
long of distillate in the reservoir, much of
which was saved.
Those in charge at the refinery said
they could not explain the cause of the
explosion. The tank is used in one of the
processes of oil refining and at the stage
when the agitator goes into service acids
are used on the base .fluid. It is sur
mised that water came in contact with
the working oil and caused a gas to form
that proved highly explosive.
The damage was not great, $1800 being
the estimate. The tank will be repaired.
The injured workman was burned on the
head, shoulders and right side and was
bruised badly. lie Is 40 years old, mar
ried, and resides at Point Richmond. The
attending physician says the patient will
recover.
POINT RICHMOND, June 26.— For the
third, time since the works were built
an- agitator tank exploded to-day at the
Standard Oil Company's works, wreck

Lepley, in charge of the tank, who was
badly burned and hurled fifty feet by the

TACOMA, June 26.— Chief Deputy Grain
Inspector King is making a tour of East
ern Washington grain districts with In
spector Arrasmith for the purpose of
forming a correct estimate of the yield
of the coming grain crop. King says the
spring sown grain looks well but is late.
He thinks, however, with the right kind
of weather it will produce a fair crop,
with the yield running probably 15 to 20
per cent below that of last year. The fall
sown wheat seems to be particularly
backward. King visited several fields
where the growth was very thin. Whit
man County, which was always one of
the best wheat centers, will fall at least
20 per cent below the crop of last year.

The Supreme Court also decided yester
day that Justice Lorigan. while Superior
Judge of Santa Clara County, did wrong
in issuing agrainst Myra Wright an injunc

against the Jersey Island Packing Com
pany in the courts of San Francisco. The
question involved was the ancient one 0/
concurrent Jurisdiction.
Constable Beach and other officers af
fected by this decision will serve their re
spective local governments therefore for
less money than they thought.
Beach contended that the title of the
last quoted law was .defective and the
whole statute as amended was not re
enacted. The court holds that the title
was correct and that it was not neces
sary for the law as amended to be re
enacted because the new legislation was
not such a revision as contemplated by
the constitution in the provision quoted.
In the case of the Code of Civil Procedure
the revision was of such character, the
court says. -
"An act to amend an act entitled 'An
act to establish a uniform system of
county and township governments, ap
proved April 1. 19S7.' by amending certain
sections thereof, revising certain other
sections and adding certain sections
thereto."
The legislation of 1901 was entitled

subject, which shall be expressed in its

Constable M. N. Beach of Stockton

The 60-called county government act

piece of legislation would fall flat when

district, in Trinity County, reports as fol
lows regarding the game:
SIERRA CITY MINES.
Some account of the working of the
mines near Sierra City is given by tha
Nevada County Miner, which says:
Th* outlook now Is good and many Improve
ment* are in progress, with every Indication
•if being of a lasting nature. The - .Hi-rra-
Buttes mine has a twenty-stamp mill running
on fair rock and Is pay-Ing small monthly divi
dends to its stockholders. The Keystone has
run a long crosscut and tapped its ledge, run
ning along its course a distance of 300 feet,
and it is believed to be good milling ore. The
Butte Saddle he* been bonded for a term of
five years. The Sierra- Butte Ko. 2, owned by
Mr. Martin and some Ban Francisco men. prob
ably will be worked this eeason. Several thou
sand dollars has been expended on th« prop
erty, but nothing has been done there recently
because of the lack of water for power, it be
ing difficult to get a satisfactory contract for
the water. There are no Idle men about Sierra
City, those not engaged in the larger mines
giving their attention to small placer claims.
The Yreka Journal says -that the Rus
sian Creek mining district, on Salmon
Mountain, just over the summit from
Etna, is becoming one of the richest
quartz mining sections in Slsklyou Coun
ty. Regarding this district it says: • •
The group of claims located by Music &
Tetherow contain several pockets or kidneys,
all of good size, some being at least two feet In
width, with several more claims located by
other parties. This i« a good locality for work
ing ouarti. as there Is an abundance of water
all the year round, sufficient for ample mill
power, and the country affords fln« opportunity
for running tunnels to strike ore and secure
excellent drainage at came time. A small mill
is now In operation at this locality for pros
pecting purposes, and should an extennlvo per
manent ledge be found a large mill will no
doubt be erected.
>!. A. Cardwell. who has bonded the, hydraulic
claims of J. S. Lowden Jr.. at Hamburgh Bar.
as agent for. Eastern capitalists, has gone East
to complete arrangements for their development
on an extensive scale In building a fourteen
mile ditch from Scott Klver. He will also
formulate plans in regard to opening up the
ground bonded in Shasta Valley, near Snowden
station, on the S. P. line for the development
of coal and oil, the ground being adjacent to
the coal mine recently opened by the Hlsklyou
County Development Company.
Much has been written about the new pipe
line of the Standard OH Company, which ex
tends from Kern County through San Joaquin
County to Point Richmond, and some paper*
have made an effort of late to convince the
public that the gigantic scheme is not a suc
cess, but !t now looks as If the system Is
working all right. There was some trouble at
first getting the oil started, as It was cool
weather and the fluid was very thick, but now
everything appears to be working smoothly.
The entire line has been tested with water and
found to be all right. The oil Is being forced
toward Point Richmond and is expected to be
running through San Joaquin County in a few
days.
A circular has been sent out by the San
Joaquin Oil Company to its stockholders
in which the statement is made that the
company has accepted an offer to sell, at
the rate of 30 cents per share, all. the
stock in the Associated Oil Company that
was owned by the San Joaquin Oil Com
pany, and that this offer has been ac
cepted. ' 7 The sum of $34,957 75 has been
paid on this stock, and the balance due,
which amounts to $664,196 75, will be paid
on- November 1 next. Then, President
John Bunting gives notice, the affairs of
the San Joaquin OH and Development
Company will be wound up. In the same
circular the statement is amde that the
consideration received from the Asso
ciated Oil Company when the San Joa
quin property was old to the Associated
Oil Company was gold bonds of the Asso
ciated Oil Company amounting to $196,7ii3
and 2,330,515 shares of stock of the Asso
ciated Oil Company.
Concerning the progres of oil through
the great pipe line of the Standard Oil
Company from the Kern River field to
Point Richmond the Stockton Independent
lays:
BUNTING'S CIRCULAR.
Large transaction* in oil are focusing
public attention. Rumors concerning
what is going on fire current. The par
ties to deals are keeping their own coun
sel. Nevertheless it is announced, on
what would seem to be excellent author
ity, that the Standard Oil Company has
bought practically the entire output of
the corporations known as the Home, and
Chansior & Canfleld companies in the
Coalinga field. This means that 24,0(10
barrels per month have been contracted
for. the full period of euch supply K>
cover five years. Therefore in round
numbers a market has been made certain
for 1,440,000 barrels of Coalinga oil. The
price mentioned in the contracts is stated
to be 65 cents per barrel at the wells for
the first two years and 70 cents per bar
rel for the remainder of the five years'
period. On this basis the selling com
panies will receive $979,200 for their prod
uct now contracted for in the next five
years.
Concerning the recent transactions of
the Associated Oil Company much secrecy
is observed. That some deal has been
made with the Southern Pacific Company
is generally credited. The story told by
the Pacific Oil Reporter is that a com
pany has been formed, of which Julius
Kruttschnitt is the head, the other di
rectors being J. _H. Wallaoe, W. A.
Worthington, J. I*. Wilcutt and J. E.
Foulds. This is the Kern Trading and Oil
Company. The first act was to buy the
stock of the Associated Oil Company held
by the San Joaquin and Reed Crude Oil
companies. The 'San Joaquin Company
held 2,330,515 shares of stock In the Asso
ciated Oil Company and the Reed Crude
held 2.8O0.O00 shares.
Th" Oil Renortrr says that the Southern
Pacific people have bought all the stock
01 trie b«n joaquin ana .n-eea Cruue com
panies and have also obtained the bonds
that were issued by the Associated Oil
Company to the San Joaquin and Reed
Crude companies. The Southern Pacific
Company is assured by this deal, as re
ported, of sufficient oil to meet their
needs.
Failures this week were 273 in the Unit
ed States, against 200 last year, and 19 in
Canada, compared with 20 a year ago.
NEW YORK, June 26.— Brafistreefs to
morrow will say:
Crop and labor conditions still present
some irregularities, but six months' trade
returns point to the fact that business
has been better than a yaar ago and the
situation as a whole shows favorable fea
tures predominating as to the future. The
feeling is that as time passes the latter
will largely outweigh the fewnotable
drawbacks to possible future activity.
Unseasonable weather, cold in the 'East,
rainy in the West, and dull retail trade,
accentuates unusual quietness. in whole
sale trade and retards crop development.
The iron and steel situation on the
whole seems to have improved somewhat.
Large contracts have been made for rails
by leading trunk lines and central West
ern roads. The condition of other fin
ished products is better and, even in
cruder forms, the feeling is fairly firm,
except for foundry pig iron. The railroad
earnings are better than was earlier ex
pected, despite flood interruptions in the
first part of the month, and returns for
the first week of June show a gain of 0
per cent ovor a year ago, while thos« for
the second and third Indicate increases^
10 to 12 per cent in excess of last year.
Wool is firmer, largely in sympathy
with primary markets, the new
clip is being taken freely at advancing
prices. \
Hides are firmer at Bcston. Sugor is
steady and unchanged, the weather hav
ing been against free purchases, but the
small ,world!s crop precludes any weak
ness.
Wheat, including flour, exports for the
week ending June 25 aggregate 3,518,152
bushels, against 3,617,415 last week, 3,382,
701 this week last year and 4,364,171 in 3901.
"Wheat exports since July 1 aggregate 221.
607.6S9 bushels, against 248,688,350 last sea
son and 215,177,724 in 1900.
Business failures In the United States
for the week ending with June 25 number
171, against 165 last week, 153 in the like
week of 1902, 196 In 1901, 185 in 1900 and 158
in 1899. Canada failures were not re
ported.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade to-morrow will say: "
No definitely unfavorable element is ap
parent in the business situation, but
there are several, uncertainties that en
gender conservatism. In regard to distri
bution of merchandise tho long period of
low prices has curtailed trade in dry
goods, clothing and other seasonable
lines. Stocks have accumulated and pros
pects for semi-annual inventories are not
altogether encouraging. Railway 'earn
ings thus far available for June surpass
last Vea'r's by 10.2 per cent and. exceed
those of 1901 by 17.4 per cent.
After further moderate concessions in
prices of iron and steel, especially in pig
iron and partly finished shapes, the mar
ket has steadied and there are Indications
that no additional reductions of conse
quence are probable for the present.
Wool is unchanged and quiet.
BLAZING FLUID
BURNS WORKMEN
Preparations for the funeral, which cost
several thousand dollars,, were- com
menced early yesterday morning. The
scene was one of people hurrying to and
fro and decorations were brought from*
all directions. When the priests and the
band of mourners arrived the street for
nearly a block was jammed and it was
with difficulty that the police kept the
crowd from interfering with the funeral.
Their voices, drowned by the wailing of
the- mourners and the clang of the tom
.toms.the high priests performed the last
rites in the regulation Mongolian fash
ion andUhe Cortege started for the ceme
tery. At the latter place the services for
the dead were repeated and the spirit left
to go its way in peace. Bun was an old
resident Bnd had been .ill about five
months. He had employed in the neigh
borhood of 4000 Chinese yearly 'to go to
the northern fisheries and transacted
most of such business for the large com
mercial companies.
Bun always recognized honesty as be
ing paramount in -the make-up of the
Mongolian and started the system of ad
vancing money to men who sought em
ployment with him. Each year sums
ranging from $20 to $200 were advanced
to thousands of applicants for positions
several months before they sailed for
their places of employment. As a rule
each debtor showed up and went to work,
and when he did all was well, but Bun
was merciless when he detected a breach
of faith and usually punished in a man
ner of his own.
Chew Bun Qoy, better known' as Jue
Bun, the wealthy Alaskan fish dealer,
was burled "yesterday morning .from his
late residence at 711 Commercial street.
The funeral was one of 'the most-elabo
rate and best attended that has beenjheld
for a number of years from the local Chi
nese quarter.
The Sumner case furnished come sensa
tional Incidents in the courts.' John K.
Sumner is a capitalist of Tahiti, aged S4
years. Some years ago upon leaving Hon
olulu he deeded his Hawaiian property to
Bishop Ropert, since deceased, to be held'
in trust. On his return last September
some of his relatives vainly tried to have
him declared insane. Circuit Judge de
Bolt last January, in deciding the case,
ordered 145,000 turned over to Sumner,
and several criticized some of the at
torneys who represented him. They were
paid 91O,0tK) in fees, and the court charac
terized this transaction, as outrageous.
HONOLULU, June 26.— Attorney Gen
eral Andrews to-day filed charges in the
Supreme Court against ex-Circuit Judge
A. S. Humphreys and Attorney Frank E.
Thompson, charging them with profes
sional misconduct and infidelity to their
client in the Sumner case. Citation was
waived, an immediate hearing demanded
and the case was set for Monday.
President Huber announced that as yet
he was not thoroughly conversant with
the situation, but that he would devote
his time during the next week to mak
ing a study of the difficulties which now
beset the carpenters and joiners of this
city. He said this was a peculiar fight,
in that it was union man against union
man. instead of union man against em
ployer. He claimed it was the case of a
local organization trying to coerce unions
to sever their connections with the parent
organization, even at the price of union
ism itself. President Huber promised the
men assistance. He said his belief was
that the difficulties could be solved amic
ably. . .
On the other hand the District Council
of Carpenters, representing three car
penters" unions and the striking millmen.
declares it will stand out for a recogni
tion of the brotherhood stamp- on all
union work, and it demands that the mill
owners deal directly with them and not
with the Building Trades Council.
Between 600 and 700 carpenters and mill
men gathered at Hamilton Hall to-night
to listen to Grand President William D.
Huber of the Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners, who arrived last evening
from Indianapolis, the international head
quarters of the brotherhood. In his ad
dress to the men to-night he said he had
come to stay until the fight now on in
this city is satisfactorily settled. If it
takes all summer. Entrance to the # meet
ing was by card.
Resolved, That in no case will the Building
Trades Council of Alameda. County permit any
member of one of its affiliated unions to delay
or obstruct any bulldinz operations which ar*
carried on in accordnace with the laws of
this council. J- P. BURKE. President.
F. II. PRATT. Recording Secretary.
Wher«*a. It is the aim and desire of this
council to fo«ter and, protect to its best abil
ity the prosperity of all who are engaged In
the building trades: be it. therefore,
Resolwd. That the Buildlnr Trades Coun
cil of Alameda County does not in any way
countenance the action of the Brotherhood of
Carpenters' and Joiners of America In att«mpt
inf? to tie up the building business in Alamed*
County, and wIlL use all fair means to keep
such work in oDeratlon; and. be it further
Whertas. The building Industry In ALamed*
Ccunty is at this time menaced by the 111
ailvi.vd action of certain organizations not
affiliated with this council ; and.
A crisis has be*n reached In the fight
between the Building Trades Council and
the District Council of Carpenters and
Joiners of America, which was precipi
tated by the Mlllmen's Union strike In op
position to the Building Trades Council/
The local situation has assumed a na
tional aspect. On top of the presence In
Oakland to-night of William D. Huber.
grand president of the brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners, the Building Trades
Council of Alameda County took a posi
tive stand denouncing the carpenters.
The council declared that in the event of
an attempt to tie up the building industry
the, contractors would be, protected." The
council adopted resolutions, the sense of
which Is that contractors who may be
compelled to employ non-union car
penters to carry on their work, because of
the refusal of the Carpenters' Union to
handle mlllwork. will be fully protected.
The Building Trades Council has declared
the mlllmen'B strike Illegal and refuses to
support it or the carpenters who have
backed the millmen. The resolutions are
as follows:
