CAPT. WREDE AND THE MAN WHO DISAPPEARED The Captain is Cited by the British Consul to Show Cause Why He Should Not Be Considered an Accomplice—His Reply Capt. Wrede was in from Placentia a few days ago, the warmest man in Orange county. He had just indicted a letter to C. White Mortimer, British Consul resident at Los Angeles, in reply to one received from that gentleman in which aspersions were sought to be placed upon him in such manner that his choler rose to high-choler mark and came near running over. Thereby hangs an interesting tale. The Captain was loath to speak of it, and was only prevailed upon to tell the story on the solemn assurance that it was not for publication. Friends of the Captain will recall a good-looking young Englishman who accompanied him on his trips to town, not so long ago. This young man, whose name is Herbert Whitehead, and who seems to be well connected in the old country, has disappeared, and his family is anxious to learn of his whereabouts. The Captain was the other day waited upon by the ponderous officers of the law, bearing a requisition from the San Francisco police, bidding him to lay before them such information as he had of the case, and accompanied by a letter from the British Consul to the effect that he was suspected of "complicity" in the case. Some months ago the Captain's attention was directed to the advertisement in the Los Angeles papers of a young Englishman who desired a situation upon an orange ranch in the country. Being impressed with the nature of the man's request, he investigated the case and found that Whitehead had rooms at the Van Nuys hotel paying therefor $8 per day—without board. He was attended by a valet, and when the Captain found him his finances were at ebb tide, portending a panicky feeling on the Bourse. To his benefactor he showed a bank-book indicating that he had recently had the comfortable sum of $4200. Most of this had been squandered in San Francisco, where Whitehead put COAL FIELDS OF ORANGE COUNTY A Bulletin Issued by the Geological Survey Dealing With Matters of Interest to Local Residents [CONTRIBUTED TO THE GAZETTE.] Of the three Pacific Coast States, Washington easily ranks first as a coal producer, with California second, although in 1896 and 1897 Oregon's output exceeded that of California. In the San Francisco market the coals of the world compete. Foreign coal enters that port chiefly as ballast in tramp steamers seeking grain cargoes, so that the condition of the wheat export trade has a direct bearing upon the coal imports. The coal supply of California comes from England, Wales, Scotland, Australia and Japan, in addition to British Columbia, always a principal source for imported coal. The imports of coal at the California ports have for many years amounted to about three-fourths of the aggregate coal tonnage imported into the United States. Eastern coals reach the Pacific Coast only in small quantities, and the Rocky Mountain field has not been a source of supply for twenty years. The contribution from the three Pacific States to the San Francisco market is growing greatly. In 1861 it was less than 20,000 tons; in 1900 it was about 830,000 tons out of a total of over 1,800,000 tons. The coal fields of Washington are confined to the western and central parts of the State, as is set forth by George Otis Smith in Part III of the Twenty-second Annual Report of the United States Geological Survey. Four large fields may be mentioned: The northern and the southern Puget Sound coal fields, the Roslyn Basin and the southwestern field in Lewis and Cowlitz counties. The northern Puget Sound coal field includes the coal mines of Skagit and Whatcom counties in the northern part of the State. The southern Puget Sound field lies in King and Pierce counties in that portion of the Puget Sound basin directly east of the cities of Seattle and Tacoma. In production this is the most important field of the white and colored. No machine lying is done in the State, trialling larger mines not proving success. Since 1894 the output of that has shown a steady increase, from 1900 King county alone reaching million-ton mark. The prospect of a steady development. The market for Washington coal is northwest furnish the next market. The third important market is in the local markets of Washington and adjoining States for manufactories and gas works. An example, in Spokane fully 80 percent of the coal supply comes from these mines; the remainder comes from Tacoma and Wyoming, with a few loads from British Columbia and 10 carloads of Pennsylvania cited, shipped via the Great Lakes Duluth. The coal used in Washington is of high grade and is consumed smelters at Tacoma, Everett, Port and in California. The Northern, the Northern Pacific, the Columbia and Puget Sound roads afford transportation to coal, and are interested in the development of the coal industry. The coal product of California from four counties—Alameda, Costa, Amador and Riverside there are now four productive The Mount Diablo field, the oldest about 35 miles north of east of Francisco, on the northern side Mount Diablo of the Coast. The belt is not over 24 miles long Somersville is the principal Corrol Hollow, 50 miles southeast San Francisco on the southern slope of Mount Diablo, lies on sides of the divide between Livermore Valley and San Joaquin valley; for the most part in Alameda County. The third, Ione coal field, is foothills of the Sierra Nevada, miles northeast of San Francisco fourth field lies in the southern State, in Riverside county Elsinore, at the eastern foot Sierra de Santa Ana. The first probably small. The Ione field has an extension to the south Laucha Plana, where coal has mined. Coal veins have been placed elsewhere and Butte Delta. young Englishman who desired a situation upon an orange ranch in the country. Being impressed with the nature of the man's request, he investigated the case and found that Whitehead had rooms at the Van Nuys hotel paying therefor $8 per day—without board. He was attended by a valet, and when the Captain found him his finances were at ebb tide, portending a panicky feeling on the Bourse. To his benefactor he showed a bank-book indicating that he had recently had the comfortable sum of $4200. Most of this had been squandered in San Francisco, where Whitehead put up at high-priced hotels, along with whatever you call his valet. After witnessing the frolicsome gambols of the elephant in all its variety, he blew into Los Angeles, his exchequer registering the $800 mark. Even this magnificent sum could not last forever at a tavern with rates of $8 per, and gradually the coils of Mr. Van Nuys hired men were tightening about the innocent victim, with the inevitable purpose of divesting him of his wherewithal and throwing him down. At this interesting stage of the proceedings the kind-hearted Captain came upon the scene, and generously offered employment and food and shelter to the disconsolate young man. He was brought down to Placentia and comfortably provided for. He accompanied the Captain on numerous trips into town, and was regarded more as a guest than as an employee of the ranch. He remained several weeks with the Captain, and one day received a remittance of $350. To this was added nearly $50, which the Captain paid him for his services. He departed for Los Angeles and had about passed out of mind, when one evening, a week or so later, he returned, in great distress, and penniless, having, he said, paid his last dollar to hire a buggy to be driven to the ranch. The Captain was quite surprised to see him again, and only the gathering darkness and the youth's pitiful tale impelled him to provide shelter again for the young man, who, while not unbalanced, stood evidently in need of a guardian. A day or two thereafter he again departed and had been quite forgotten until officers of the law, requisitioned as above stated, hove in sight in their search for enlightenment in the mysterious affair. The Captain readily consented to tell all he knew concerning the subject, but to Mortimer's letter, bidding him appear before that august gentleman, and charging him with "complicity" in Whitehead's mysterious disappearance he takes strenuous exceptions. Death of Mr. Vinson. John B. Vinson, an old and highly respected resident of this city, died at his home on Thursday morning at 7:30. He had partaken of a light breakfast while in bed, immediately after which, saying it did not taste right and that he was going to die, he fell back and soon expired. Deceased had been ill for many months with a complication of disorders, superinduced by an attack of la grippe. Twenty-second Annual Report of the United States Geological Survey. Four large fields may be mentioned: The northern and the southern Puget Sound coal fields, the Roslyn Basin and the southwestern field in Lewis and Cowltz counties. The northern Puget Sound coal field includes the coal mines of Skagit and Whatcom counties in the northern part of the State. The southern Puget Sound field lies in King and Pierce counties in that portion of the Puget Sound basin directly east of the cities of Seattle and Tacoma. In production this is the most important field of the State, and it includes the Wilkeson-Carbonado district in Pierce county and the Green river, Renton-Cedar river and Newcastle-Issaquah districts of King county. The other field of western Washington lies about 40 miles southwest in Lewis and Cowltz counties. The Roslyn field is in Kittitas county, near the center of the State and on the eastern slope of the Cascade mountains. Extensions of all the coal fields of western Washington will doubtless be discovered. The number of coal beds in the Puget Sound formation is remarkable, and the workable beds in a single district may vary from five to ten in number. At Wilkeson four seams of coal are mined; at Carbonado several seams have been mined. In the Green river district there are three seams, from 3 to 6 feet thick; in the eastern extension of this field eight workable seams are reported. At Renton three seams are known, two about 8 feet thick. At Cedar Mountain two seams, 3½ and 13 feet thick, have been worked. In the Newcastle district four seams from 4 to 15 feet thick have been worked. In the northern field the old Bellingham Bay seam was 14 feet thick. The present Cokedale seam is 20 feet thick in places, and the Blue canyon seam averages 7 feet in thickness. In the Roslyn basin there are three workable beds varying from 4 feet to 19 feet in thickness. The coals of Washington range from lignite to bituminous cooking coal. In the Newcastle-Issaquah and Renton-Cedar river districts the coal is a hard lignite well suited for domestic use; in the Green river district it is a friable bituminous coal, excellent for steam fuel; in the Wilkeson-Carbonado district it is a very soft bituminous coal good for coke making, for gas and for locomotive use. In the Roslyn field the coal is coking bituminous, but in good lumps and well adapted for steam and gas making. The northern field produces an excellent bituminous coking coal containing much slack. Both lignite and bituminous coal are reported from the southwestern field, whose product is little known. The first discovery of coal in the State was made in 1848, lignite of poor quality being found in Cowltz valley at that time. Four years later coal was discovered on Bellingham Bay in Whatcom county, and shipments began from this, the first mine, in 1860, and continued until 1878, when spontaneous combustion caused fire that closed the mine. Two or more northern mines have been active since 1891. In King Twenty-second Annual Report of the United States Geological Survey.

Vinson, an old and highly respected resident of this city, died at his home on Thursday morning at 7:30. He had partaken of a light breakfast while in bed, immediately after which, saying it did not taste right and that he was going to die, he fell back and soon expired. Deceased had been ill for many months with a complication of disorders, superinduced by an attack of la gippe. The immediate cause of death was due to rheumatism of the heart. Mr. Vinson had lived in Anaheim with his family for a number of years, and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. He had some weeks ago made up his mind to return to Indian Territory, where a married daughter resides, and going thence to his old home in Alabama. His effects were packed and he proposed starting on the day of his death. Deceased was a native of Alabama and was aged 57. Interment was in Santa Ana cemetery, the funeral being under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias, of which deceased had been a member. Mr. Vinson leaves a wife and two married daughters to mourn his loss—Mrs. Cayce of Santa Ana and Mrs. King of Indian Territory. They have the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement.

MRS. J. D. VINSON. FRANK PORTER AND THE SIDEWINDERS Had to Carry a Lantern and Walk on Ahead to Keep the Horses from Stepping on Them Frank Porter was in town on Saturday telling about his experiences on a recent trip to the desert. Frank tends the place during the week, and on Saturdays gets the boys to do the chores while he comes to town to talk politics and hear the latest collection of hot air outcroppings. That is, he does so if there is no baseball game in sight on that day. On such occasions the boys take a fall out of him. At the beginning of the season he agreed with the boys that if they would tend the farm on Saturdays when there was no ball, they could play in the games that fell on that day. Since then it has generally come ball right along. "I wouldn't give a dollar an acre for all the land on the desert. Not that there are not good portions, where, if water can be secured, good crops can be marketed. Especially if one gets near the railroad. I made an offer for a piece near the railroad at Indio, but would not buy at the price it was held at, and I wouldn't have much of the rest as a gift. "The heat and dust are stifling, sir, stifling! The dust covered the horses so that it just looked like you'd thrown mud all over them. The sweat just poured off them. You can imagine how hot it was when I tell you both horses were large 1200-pound animals in good condition, the wagon a light one and the load only such camp equippage as was absolutely necessary; and yet at one time I thought we'd never get out alive. "We went in during the daytime and came out at night. We had to tie a lantern to the tongue of the wagon and one of us had to walk along with another ahead." "What was that for?" butted in Fritz, who used to sail on the Flying Dutchman. Sidewinders, sir, sidewinders! The country is full of them. You have to walk on ahead to scare them out of the road, so the horses won't step on them. Then you'll miss many of them, and the light on the tongue is to let the horses see where they are, so as not to GRAVEL DEPOSIT IN RESERVOIR SITE? Mr. Sherwood Makes Excavations which It is Reported Show Defects at 15-foot Level. The directors of the water company went on Saturday to the site of the proposed Yorba reservoir for the purpose of inspecting it further. Mr. Sherwood was in charge of operations, and is said to have made borings in the side of the reservoir which revealed, so it is reported, the existence of a gravel stratum of unknown thickness. Mr. Sheppard brought back a quantity of the gravel, which he exhibited to Mr. Pendleton at Placentia. Mr. Crowther was not of the party, and said on Tuesday that the deposit of gravel, if it was found, could only be of small area, and would be advantageous for making cement. He still regarded the site as a natural one for a reservoir. "There was never a reservoir site which did not have a bit of gravel about it. These borings made by Sherwood, I am told, revealed presence of gravel in the side at the fifteen-foot level. They found the site impervious to water up to that depth. I do not believe sufficient gravel was discovered to affect the value of the site." A prominent stockholder said yesterday the site was undoubtedly one of the best in the country. "A small deposit of gravel on the side is nothing against it. Advantages are all on the side of the reservoir. It ought to be built. I regard Mr. Sherwood as opposed to it. If he knew of any serious defects in it why did he not make them in plain language, instead of waiting until the last minute to do so? I still rely on the accuracy of Schuyler's and Kellogg's reports endorsing the site."

We had to tie a lantern to the tongue of the wagon and one of us had to walk along with another ahead. What was that for? butted in Fritz, who used to sail on the Flying Dutchman. Sidewinders, sir, sidewinders! The country is full of them. You have to walk ahead to scare them out of the road, so the horses won't step on them. Then you'll miss many of them, and the light on the tongue is to let the horses see where they are, so as not to step on them. As we were making the night trip in we were surprised to see ahead of us an outfit approaching us. They had their lanterns out all right. As we drew up to them I raised my lantern to the face of the chap in front, and was surprised to find that he was a youth whom I knew very well. (Naming a Peatland kid.) Hello! I says to him. 'What yer doing here?' 'Oh, me and the old man couldn't agree; so we set out for the mines.' SALT LAKE ROAD HEADED THIS WAY Procuring Rights of Way Through Whittier and the La Habra Valley—Will It Extend Through Placentia? Agents for the Salt Lake railway have for some weeks past been quietly procuring rights of way and options upon property at Whittier. It is announced that the road will extend a branch from its main line three miles north of Whittier to that city, and continue thence through the La Habra valley. In Los Angeles the impression prevails the branch will continue from La Habra south through Fullerton, Anaheim and on to Santa Ana. However, parties hereabouts conversant with the situation, state the line will build from La Habra through Placentia and up the Santa Ana canyon to Riverside. J. Ross Clark said on a recent visit to this city the Salt Lake road would be built through Placentia, as soon as work on the main line had sufficiently progressed to enable it to place a construction force upon it. Information from La Habra yesterday was to the effect that rights of way through that rack are being procured by the railway company. In the opinion of those well informed upon the situation, it is said there is little doubt the road will be built upon its already surveyed route through Placentia and out the canyon eastward. Change of Firm Charles G. McKinley has purchased the business until lately conducted by Richard Zerman and will in future conduct the same.

Mr. McKinley is a business man of well-known ability, having been Secretary of the Orange county fruit exchange for a number of years, and later representative of the Southern California fruit exchange in the northwest. That he will succeed in his venture admits Supervisors Frown Upon the Scheme to Bring Unnecessary Taxation Upon the People The Supervisors yesterday afternoon unanimously rejected the petition for the division of the Anaheim school district, which former Principal Bird of the West.End school has had in incubation for a year. That gross misrepresentation was made in order to procure signatures to the petition is charged by the school trustees. People were told that by having a new district they would be exempted from taxation for the high-school, bonds for the construction of which were issued last year. Also that the two schoolhouses in that portion of the district sought to be segregated would become the property of the new district. The facts of the case are that the secders would not be absolved from taxation for the high school, and so far as the schoolhouses at the West End and Katella are concerned, they would, if the district were divided, become the property of the Anaheim school district. Thus the secders would have had to vote bonds at the outset to build a schoolhouse. Had these facts been laid before those who signed the petition under misprepension of the facts, it is doubted if a single signer could have been secured. A remonstrance against division was presented bearing the names of over 100 taxpayers and patrons of the school. A number of signers to the petition for division, which originally bore the names of twenty-six citizens, revoked their signatures and signed other. Trustee Clabaugh said a day or two ago that Bird was fully conversant of the fact that a new schoolhouse would have to be built by the west enders had the district been divided. This was, however, kept from the knowledge of those who signed the petition. Bird had even gone so far as to inquire into the matter of plans for a new schoolhouse, in which he expected to teach. The Supervisors, after hearing arguments for and against division, dismissed the petition. Turner Show On Sunday evening occurs the entertainment given by the Turner Sister hood, at Turner hall. Frau Nicolas der Oder and other talent from Los Angeles will participate, and the musical program will be under direction of Prof Ludwig Thomas. SMALLPOX PATIENT WELL.
