THE PITTSBUKG- DISPATCH, SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1889.
A TIMELY WAMHG
To Peoplo Who Are Going for' Gold
to Santa Clara, New Mexico
BY A HAH WHO MOWS IT ALL.
r
A Scheme of a Large Land Companj to
Enrich its Stockholders
AT THE EXPENSE OP TIB ' CREDULOUS
V
Mr. Charles A. Ashburner, the eminent
geologist, Jias returned from a trip to Cali
fornia and Mexico, where" he has been for
the last four -weeks. During his trip he
had an opportunity or getting a good man;
facts regarding the supposed new gold fields
thatlVe.' said to haw been discoVeredin
SantaClara, Northern Mexico!
Speaking about these gold fields to a"Dls
patch reporter yesterday, Mr. Ashburner
said:
"I am of the opinion that the whole
scheme has been gotten up by the English
Land Company, for the purpose of specula
tion, and the only result will be that 'the
land company will make a lot of money.
All reports regarding the gold district are
too highly flavored with sensationalism to be
in any way credited.
"Like all -mining enterprises, there .are
three possible foundations for these reports.
One is, that there is absolutely nothing of
commercial Talue in the land, and the gold
found may.have -been put there. Second,
there is a possibility of a small amount of
the precious metal being there, which can
not be profitably mined unless a large
amount of capital can be obtained to do it.
Third, there is a large amount of gold in the
Santa Clara fields, which may be profitably
worked.
TAKE YOUB OTO CHOICE.
"As to which of these three foundations
has caused the excitement in this case, I am'
not able to say. "We know that placer min
ing has been carried on by native Mexicans
for over 30 years in that district in a very
small way with very questionable profits.
Some of the prospectors, attracted by this
fact, may have come and hoped to find the
quartz ledges near the placer gold. But Z
consider that-very doubtful enterprise, since
no paying quartz ledges have ever been
found in the vicinity of some of the richest
placer deposits in the United States.
"As an instance which may serve as .an
illustration oi this fact, I may cite that, in
the vicinity of one placer mine which pro
duced 593,000,000 of gold bullion during the
last 25 years, money was expended by large
mining companies in the hope of finding the
quartz ledge", which contain gold, and
every effort was a signal failure. This,
however, is not an invariable rule, "but it Is
often the case.
"Therefore, the mere fact that the native
Mexicans have mined placer gold at Santa
Clara, is no indication -of quartz ledges be
ing found in the immediate vicinity, which
might pay to be worked with profit
"When T was in Los Angeles, 6,000 people
had come through thereon their way to Santa
Clara, and at present the camp near the
diggings has 3,000 inhabitants. Prof. An
thony, of England, who, by the way, has
given a favorable report of the prospects of
the gold district, is an employe of the En
glish Land Company, and his word is, there
lore, not to be relied" upon.
NO RICHES IK IT.
"It is my opinion that there is not enough
gold to be-found in Santa Clara for a poor
man to get rich in a few days. Living is
enormously dear there, for a sack of flour
costs $15. If gold is there it will take a
long time before the field is sufficiently de
veloped to make its operation profitable.
In the meantime, however, the poor people
who have gone "out there will have almost
starved and died in the hope of finding for
tunes. Then the 'land company, which is
now creating the bubble, will step 'in again
and reap the benefits of -the poor man's
labor.
"A great reason why the gold in Santa
Clara cannot be worked successfully by the
every day prospector is that there is a great
poverty of water in the entire district, and
placer cold mining without water is almost
an impossibility. Therefore, I must say
again that the less credence there is put in
the reports from the gold field the better it
will be for the pocket of the average fortune
hunter, who labors under the delusion that
he can go to Mexico and pick up a fortune
from the sand."

day and said he.was prepared to make as
many millions for this city and for himself
as Mr. Westinghouse had done. It's an
iron telegraph and telephone pole he wants
to substitute .for wooden ones, the largest of
the latter costing at present $14 to (16,
shipped from Canada here, and his being'
just as cheap or cheaper. He wants to
form a stock company to make these and
iron tubular towers tor electric lights, the
latter so arranged that 16 moveable lights
on the ton will play havoe with the sun,

Gottlieb Kotz, who) is believed to be lo

in Switzerland to collect his portion of a

in Kerzers, Caton Freiburg, Switzerland,
and left about- 22 years' ago. He. was last
heard of in New Philadelphia, O., where
he was in the employ of a butcher. He is
an extraordinary tall man, measuring 7 feet
1 inch in his stocking. He has not been
heard of.for about 20 yean, and, according
to the laws of his native country, he can be

and is making a determined 'effort to find

Although the amount is aot fSnore&than
$25,000 it is considered a" big fortune in

An Address by Prohibitionist Detwller, of
'Toptko'.
Hon. J. B. Detwiler, of Topeka, Kan.,
Past Grand Chief Templar of the L O. G. T.
of that State, the father of prohibition there,
spoke in the Trinity M.E.. Church, Twenty
fith street, last night, on the success of pro
hibition where it had been fairly tried. He
said:
As soon as the will of 'the people was ex
pressed by prohibition the politicians flocked
to the temperance ranks. Cities did not take
to the newlaw until it became so popular that
they weie comDelled to do so. Governor Mar
tin, In his last annual message, said nine-tenths
01 the drinking had been abolished. The jails
are thinly populated, and when crime Is re
dnced public expenses become reduced.
There is not a single distillery or brewery in
Kansas. Whisky men out there agree that
prohibition is a success. There is pot an open
saloon in Kansas. Boys cannot get liquor, and
treating is done away with entirely.
There is liquor drank in Kansas, but It mnst
be done in secret. Total destruction of the
traffic is the only remedy for this eTlL

HIS ALLEGHEHI LECTUEB LABI NIGHT
The Hon. John, P. St John, ex-Governor
of Kansas and now foremost pillar of the
Prohibition party in this country, arrived
in the. city yesterday morning and went Im
mediately to .his room in the .Seventh Ave
nue Hotel to get up a lot of letters prior to
his evening lecture in Allegheny.
A DisrATCH representative' called upon
the honorable gentleman yesterday- after
noon, and, during'a conversation regarding
the question of prohibition, Mr. "St John
remarked:
"There is not much new in prohibition at
present The latest and m6st remarkable
thing I have heard of is ,the fact that the
Bepnblicans of BhodeTsland, at a conven
tion which they held lately, declared them
selves to be in favor of resubmitting the
question of prohibition to the people of
that State. My judgment Is that this is
done in order to all in line with the future
policy of the Bepublican party on the
liquor question, which will probably be
high license.
"I think the chances for the success of the
amendment in this State are very good. In
the first place, it is a Bepflblican measure,
submitted by a Bepublican Legislature.
riGUEINO IT ALT. OUT.
"The party has in the State about 50,000
majority. In this contest the Prohibition
ists will ignore all party lines, and add
their entire 25,000 prohibition votes to the
Bepublican party's majority. To this may
be safely added not less than 75,000 Demo
cratic votes. It will therefore necessitate
the yotes of more than 125,000 'Bepnblicans
against their own measure in order to
defeat it A lively canvass is already befng
made; but when such influential and stal
wart Bepnblicans as Governor Beaver, Sen
ators Quay and Cameron take off their coats
and put their shoulders to the wheel in the
fight for the home against the saloon,wemay
safely .expect to see such a Shaking up of
the saloon -element in this State as was
never before witnessed in Pennsylvania."
"How was it that the Prohibition amend
ment was defeated in New Hampshire?"
"Why? Because it was submitted there
for that express purpose. I do not want to
explain that any further. For the same
reason (defeating it) was it submitted in
Oregon, Michigan, Texas, Tennessee and.
West Virginia."
"What do you think of Judge White's
procedure of handling the saloon keepers in
our court nerev '
"I have watched that very carefully, "and
I have followed the- Judge's course of
action very attentively. It seems -to me
that his conduct in connection with the
matter should commend him tothe faVors'of
all good and well-meaning citizens of Pitts
burg and Allegheny county,"
THE EVENING LECTUBE.
The 'Central Reformed Presbyterian
Church in Allegheny was crowded with a
large audience last night, listening to ex
Governor St John in his lecture on 'the
prohibition amendment After some intro
ductory remarks by Pastor Sproull, the
lecturer said, in substance:
People of Allegheny, 1 once heard a story of
a man who didn't know whether to get on
God's or the devil's side of the fence: but I tell
you we will get on God's side, and leave the
results in His almighty hands. I never have
heard so many falsehoods before as are belnir
x at present spread over this State in regard to
nrnhiHttfnn Tfnvthm llnnn.ia. m.h thl.1.
that Pennsylvania men are natural born fools
when they think that the statement will be be
lieved tbat-prohibition lessens taxes. As if the
1 closing of saloons was ever known to lessen
taxes!
In my own Btate. Kansas, I have seen and
know bow prohibition affects taxes. Ve have
built over 4,000 miles of railroads in the last
eight years, have Increased onr population by
700,00(1. It is true- we have lost some ot the
population. Part went to the penitentiary and
another part the saloonkeepers went out of
the State.
WOT GRIEVING OVEE IT.
We are not sorry for it for we are always
ready to trade the saloon for the church and
schoolhouse. I once heard a story about two
"boys who went to a lawyer and one of them
said: "My father is this boy's father and his
father is my father, but our fathers are not the
same." The lawyer hunted all over his books
to solve this curious problem, but was com
pletely mystified. Going down street he met
an Did (Quaker and told him the tale, asking if
he Tcnew what it meanti "Why, it is very
plain," remarked the Quaker; "the boys told a
And so, friends, the saloon-keeper tells a lie
when he makes the above statements.
I have been In Sacremento, a "wet" city,
and there stand eight churches, but only four
of these are going. In my own little town of
4,000 population we have ten churches and all
in- active operation. Subtract and you find the
saloon as the difference. Besides, we have our
asphalt pavements, our libraries, and what is
newer, we nave not a single arnnkard. We
used to have about 25 who spent crest of their
time in the calaboose, lowering the taxes'. So
you see that prohibition, compared with all
ntner systems, comes Ont ahead; but what is
more.it is right and others are wrong.- Here
in Pennsylvania, it matters not nnder what set
of officials you actually have a judicial officer
granting licenses for this awful traffic.
A POINTED QUEST.
Bo you think that the manhood of yourState
will be lowered when prohibition reignsf They
will come to you and say that it can'tbe done,
that prohibition' can never pass. WelL lust
such people said just such things 23 years ago
when we fought against slavery. T6-day you
can't find a single man wb!o will admit that he
was against abolition. I wiU'Srentdre.to say, in
25 years you won't "be able to find a single man
who voted, against the amendment on June 18,
18S9. Laughter. J tell you, we can" pass the'
amendment, we can, and "with God's help we
Willi One great thing we must overcome; that
is ignorance and prejudice. .ThevJare. hard
characters, for I" have known" them both.
They are responsible for the crucifixion
of Christ the r mobbing "of BarruoiCv
tbe hanging of John.Brown. ;You remember
the story of Joshua marching around tbe walls
of Jericho, relying on GocU and trustingly
marching around seven times. So we will
march around the walls until the walls of the
whisky traffic in Pennsylvania crumble before
a shower of freemen's ballots.
There are those who prate of personal liberty.
Ahl my fellow citizens, is personal liberty to be
found in a saloon? Is that the Influence which
makes a man free? There are more prisons
than those constructed of brick and mortar
and iron bars, and self -debasement is the worst
one. It is a pity that we are not as united
against the liquor men as they are against us.
Lately, in Boston, when 72 preachers were
asked as to their standing on the question,
only 85 were In favor of prohibition, ftell yo?
I trembled when I read that, for the Church
should be the first to espouse this cause.
PBEACHBBS X.IXK..TONAH.
The trouble is that they are a little too much
like Jonah, who thought he could fool the
Lord. Bat in the end nice little balance wis
found in favor of tbe Lord, and then Jonah
decided to go to Nineveh and preach. So it
appears some ot these must first see their bal
ance ere they will answer the call ot the Lord.
In Chicago, about a year ago, I saw a poorly
clad, shivering little girl leading a
drunken father by the hand. Preach
to me ot the wickedness of the heathen,
and of all his evil, but pray tell in what heathen
country need I see a sight like this? In what
heathen country is there such an abominable
traffic as tbis ? What use is there ot sending
so many missionaries out .when, right before
our eyes such sights appear f Where legalized
debauchery shows itself like this ?
Liquor lets no one alone. Does Jt let alone

THREE TIMES BURIED.
Dreams Cause a Young Man' Body to be
Taken From His Grave by His Sweet
heart' Mother A Singular Case.
A peculiar case has heeninvestigated by
a reporter, in which a young-man died, was
buried, and a week later the remains were
exhumed by his sweetheart and her mother.
To-day iihe young man's: mother will have
the remains dug-np again to satisfy herself
-that all is as it should he; The facta of the
case are as follows:
George Wallaker, aged 23 years, died on
March 6, and was buried on the 8th in
Allegheny Cemetery from the-hpme of his
mother, 2To. 344 Wylie avenue'. The de
ceased was for two yearsf and at the time of
his death, advance advertising agent for P.
T. Barnum's circus. He had for some years
been paying attention to Miss Emma Cient
ner, who lives with her- parents at Ho.
114 Bin street, and a year before
his death they became engaged to be , mar
ried. .When he'dled of-nnenmonia on the
6th of March, the young girl was of (course
deeply affected. Mrs. Cientner being of a
rather 'superstitious turn of mind became
convinced Irom dreams and other influences,
a few days after tho interment, that the
young man had been buried alive.
She went to Mrs. Wallaker about the
matter and tried to persuade her that her son
had been buried alive, hut. as the body had
been embalmed and showed no signs of life
before its interment. Mrs. Wallaker would
not listen to Mrs. Cientener'r arguments.
The latter, however, persisted in her en
treaties to have the remains-exhumed, day
by day furnishing new reasons, founded on
dreams and other manifestations of occult
science.
Finally Mrs. Wallaker jfelded, and gaye
Mrs. Cientner an order upon Undertaker
Beinhauer to go out to Allegheny Cemetery
and lift the body. Mrs. Cientner and her
daughter went out with the nnrlcrtnlrpr inr
the corpse, and were satisfied then that'
everyining was an ngnt. Airs, wauagi

where the blowers family were cremated
alive a week ago,suspect a man named
John Khowles of the foul deed. It is
known that Snowies had been trying to
persuade Flowers' jife to elope with him
for some time, ana on the Monday before
the burning he heciame verydesperate in his
entreaties, and oflfered to put Flowers out of
the way.
Snowies being a desperate man, and he
and Flowers having had a fight on the sub
ject once befdre, Mrs. Flowers became
alarmed, and told her mother of the state of
affairs. Then foiowles, it is thought, fear
ing trouble would occur, and being in a
frenzy, put aft end to the whole family.
Knowles disappeared the ,dav after the
burning, and? has not been heard from since.

,
TOASTS AND 'SOME -0E THE SPEECHES
Blairsville is noted' for old-time hospital
ity, for its prominence In the early history
of the Western part of the State, for its
culture and scenery. The men who laid
the foundations made, them as solid, in char
acter as the everlasting hills surrounding
the town. Their impress still bears fruit
A large number of the worthy citizens of
'the town and a number from abroad assem
bled at the Central Hotel in Blairsville last
night tagive a- banquet in honor of A. P.
Kirtland, Superintendent of the West
Penn Division of the Pennsylvania Kail
road, whose office is to be moved to Alle
gheny City on April 1. The large dining
hall had a cheerful look, and the menu was
quite tempting. Major T. D. Cunningham,
of the First Kational Bank of the tSWn,
presided with dignity and good cheer. The
Major is prominent on account of his capa
bility, public spirit and benevolence of
character, and stands very high in this com
munity. His father was the first settler in
Blairsville, and possessed such marked
worth of character that his name stands
I prominent in history. During the begin-
uing 01 tue war, wnen mc .uiajur ouu uu-
other son enlisted, their father, Judge Cun
ningham, said: "You are doing right to go.
It is the duty of all who can to go."
The following toasts were responded to in
their order:

Onr Town A. F. Kirtland
A. P. Kirtland, for whom the banquet
was made, graduated at the Polytecnic In
stitute at Troy, N. Y., in 1871, and after a
short experience elsewhere came to the
West Penn Division of the Pennsylvania
Bailroad in 1872 as assistant engineer, and
made the. drawings for most of the bridges
and culverts on this division. He remained
in that position until tl881, when he was.
made Superintendent, which place he has
occupied since. His staff are T. H. Dob
son, Assistant Engineer; M. M. Wilson,
Chief Clerk; W. O. Bichey, Trainmaster,
and W. B-Smith, Superintendent of Tele
graph, all genial gentlemen.
THE LEADING TOASX MAKEE.
Mr. Marshal, who responded to the first
toast, spoke of the high esteem in which
Mr. Kirtland was held in by the; people,
and also of Antes Snyder, the first resident
Superintendent in Blairsville, and for some
years past the right of way engineer for the
western part of the State for the Pennsyl
vania Kaiiroaa, maeing nis nome in Blairs
ville, iu the same line and pronounced them
both cultivated and Christian gentleman,
affable, benevolent and pnblic spirited, and
also spoke of the very pleasant relation be
tween the town and all the officials and em
ployes under them.
Dr. Butlege spoke in a very pleasant way
of Bobert Neilson, now in the same position
at Wiiliamsport of James McCreighton and
K. B. Taylor, now General Superintendent
of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago,
all of whom served as superintendents here,
and others. Antes Snvder gave a verv in
teresting talk on the West Penn Baifway.
The balance of the responses were very inter
esting and enjoyable. Messrs. Innes and
Moorhead gave something to laugh at.
Mr. Stiffey, a fine elocutionist, afforded
much fun. Mr. Dobson. a ready and witty
speaker, did his subject full justice. The
songs by the trio were most enjoyable. Mr.
Kirtland in closing spoke of having lived
here some 16 years. He alluded to the
magnificent scenery surrounding the town
in a most pleasing way. Ol the people he
said:
They are a whole-souled, appreciative and so
ciable people, and the years I have spent
among you have been most agreeable ones. I
think no place in the world produces a class of
women superior to those reared in the classic
shades of Blairsville. tHe then alluded to the
great beneflt,the seminary basbeen to the town.
Your town's natural advantages in location
promises for it a bright future, and with nat
ural gas, manufacturing interests must center
here at once. I cannot express to you my f nil
appreciation of this manifestation of good will
on your part toward us to-night. To us it must
always remain a delightful remembrance. I
came among you a stranger, but the friendly
ties now binding us will never be severed.

after the meeting already called for that day to

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.
The makers of the Ivory Soap have been engaged in the man
ufacture of Soaps for over fifty years, and the "Ivory" is the happy
result of their long experience, and is unquestionably the soap to be
used by all who value the advice (quoted below) of Ellen H. Richards,
Instructor in Chemistry, Woman's Laboratory, Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology, who says, "In the purchase of soap, it is
"safest to choose the make of some well known and long established
"firm who have a reputation to lose if their product is not good.''
