WEEKLY ESTABLISHED 1859. WOODLAND, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1905. DAILY ESTABLISHED 1877. IMPORTANT FIND, Gold-Bearing Cement and Sand Struck in Yolo County, located on the Lovdal Property, in Kiver District, Adjoining the Bandy Holdings. Workmen engaged in throwing up a levee to reclaim the landa In reclamation district No.

637 of Yolo county, three miles west ot this city, and north of the Southern Pacific railroad track, have' mado a discovery of a lead of gold-bearing, cement and sand on property owned by the Lovdal Bros. Company. Assays made for 0. A. Lovdal, president of Uie reclamation district in question, indicate that an extensive and valuable deposit has been uncovered.

The prospect has been examined by an expert mining engineer, who declares his belief that the dredger has cut into what was an ancient lied of the Sacramento river. Assays of the material lifted by the dredger give returns varying from $45 to J32.60 per ton, the greater part ground and the dredger almost came" to a standstill. The material was so hard that the bucket was warped and bent out of shape. It was while the was ttxua delayed that Paul Anson, the steward of the dredger, who had had experience In the mines 'of Alaska, took a look at the new hard dirt that had been brought up by the dredger, and suggested that tho material ought to be tested for gold. Ho declared that It looked good to him, and that it had all the appearance of the sand and cement formation that so often carries gold in the Yukon country.

The suggestion of Mr. Anson was taken, and the result of the assays surprised and delighted all who were interested In the affair. The dredger Yolo now stands In the channel excavated in forming the levee around reclamation district No. 537, Immediately adjoining the railroad track, less than three miles from this city. The dredger Is In full view of passengers traveling between this city and San Francisco, and will be an object of Interest to all who read this account of the new discovery gold in what promises to be paying quantities, and under conditions that are de- cleared to be favorable for sasy devel- MRS, 6.

KINKADE DEAD, Bofty to be Brought to Woodland on Thursday for Interment .1. J. Kinkade received a telegram from Sacramento Tuesday evening, announcing the death of his mother, Mrs. Sarah G. Kinkade.

The sad event occurred at the residence of J. opment Union. and successful of the value being in free gold. In consequence, dredging -for gold in that' vicinity may in a short time take the place of the present opera- tiona that are being prosecuted for the reclamation of the tule lands that are included within tho limits of the reclamation district mentioned. Some have looked over the ground believe that the lead of gold- bearing gravel that has been struck will turn out to be a big thing tor all concerned.

Among the latter may be mentioned C. Bandy of "Woodland, who Is very enthusiastic over the proposition, and all the more eo because he and his father are owners of tule lands adjoining the tract on -which the strike of gold was made. W. T. Shurtleft, who baa had a great of experience in handling such mining propositions, said yesterday that, taking a conservative view of the matter, he regarded the prospect as the biggest thing in this part of the country.

"When the fact is recalled that quartz carrying per ton of free gold can be worked at a profit, provided it may be rained in largo quantities, the magnificence this Yolo county prospect may easily bo figured out," said Mr. Shurtleff. "In the first place, the indications are that a large area Is available for mining purposes, and IE the next place the value of the material per ton is very high, as the assays all prove. Mr. Lovdal and his associates spolce to me about the matter, Baying that they thought they had struck nardpan, but the moment I saw what their dredger was bringing up I knew that it was a mineral deposit of some kind, and not hardpon, that they up against." Taking up a large piece of the material that the.dredger had lifted to the surface, Mr.Shurtleft pointed out what he declared to be the true indications of mineral deposit, saying that it was the usual pipe clay formation so familiar to the dredge miners of California, and added, "Material of this charac- QROWTH OF THE PRUDENTIAL.

The prosperity and progress of the great insurance organizations such as The Prudential, to whose care is committed such a large share ot the nation's savings, is a matter ot financial interest to many millions of the people. As this company alone has nearly 6,000,000 policies in force, covering life insurance exceeding one billion can be seen how the tide of public confidence has flowed In increasing volume towards this institution. The annual statement of the company, just published, brings out some Interesting facts. It shows that the life Insurance Issued and paid for during the year 1904 exceeded $312,000,000, being the largest in the history the company; $13,000,000 was paid to its policy holders, bringing the total since organization to an amount exceeding $92,000,000.

In 1846 they moved to Massachusetts, where they remained until August, 1863, when they came to California, They located on Willow slough, six miles southeast of Woodland, where Mr. Klukadc died March 7, 1898. Mrs.

She was a devout Christian, a da- voted wife, an affectionate mother, a The news ot the marriage ot MSsa Myrtle Guthrle of Winters to J.

C. Bowers, a prominent contractor of St. Louis, has just reached this cjty. Tho wedding occurrred at San Antonio, Texas, on April 26th. The bride is a daughter ot Mr.

and Mrs. T. W. Quthrle, former residents of Winters for many years. Slio Is a sister of Dr.

T. A. Guthrlo of this city. For the past two years she has been touring the middle states, spending tho greater portion of tho time in visiting relatives in Missouri and Texas. She first met Mr.

Bowser last year at St. Louis, where he was engaged in constructing some of tho world's fair buildings. When these buildings were completed Mr. Bowser went to San Antonio to construct some government buildings. Mlsa Guthrie, who was visiting relatives in San Antonio, met Mr.

Bowser again and soon their friendship ripened Into a love affair, which reached its nappy culmination a few days ago. A POST-LENTEN AFFAIB. A pleasant post-Lenten affair was the card party at the B. H. Stephens home Tuesday afternoon.

Mrs. Stephens Is one of Woodland's most charming hostesses, and about thirty-five of her friends, who responded to her invitations, anticipated a happy afternoon, and they were not disappointed Mrs. Stephens had chosen her assistants with tact, Mrs. H. Grant, Mrs J.

ter may cost" be worked at very small Mr. Alexander, who made the assays for Mr. Lovdal, said that at flrat the presence of the silver In the assay put him on inquiry In regard to the prob- afile lasting value of the find, but that he had decided that it was no detriment, since such conditions are not altogether unusual. In quartz mining, for Instance, the presence of gold and silver in the same matrix Is quite common.the most familiar instance on a vast scale being in the world-famed Comstock mines; where gold and silver exist In almost equal value. This silver value now present In the Yolo deposit may be expected to disappear, however, according to Mr.

Alexander's opinion, or may be materially diminished as the operations proceed. Touching the belief that the old bed of the Sacramento river has been penetrated, Mr. Bandy of Woodland yesterday said that his father, J.E.Bandy, who for many years had been a shrewd observer of valley conditions, had frequently declared his belief that the ancient bed of tie Sacramento river ran through the region now being cut by the dredger on the Lovdal ranch, and often warned his son to keep a sharp lookout for a continuation of the lead on tho lands belonging to the Bandy family. In view what he has learned of the discovery made on the Lovdal ranch, young Mr. Bandy Is much encouraged with regard to the future development of the same kind of ground on the Bandy property.

The discovery was made In the most unexpected manner. The dredger was going along through tule ground as rapidly as usual, and throwing up the levee in good shape, when all at once the men ran against the hard illM The company will lurnish any information concerning its policies to those who write to the Home Office, Newark, N.

Merrill of Oroville is temporarily in charge of the local Wells-Pargo office. All Woodland will learn with sincere regret that Agent G. E. Whitney's physical condition is such that he is forced to enter sanitarium. As will be remembered, Mr.

Whitney contracted diphtheria last February. He convalesced far more slowly than his friends had hoped, and then suffered a relapse. Partial paralysis has attacked him and he is a very sick man. Accompanied by his wife he will leave for St. Helena ia a few days and will enter the sanitarium.

The Woodland friends of Mr. and Mrs. Whitney are hoping that the change will soon restore Mr. Whitney's health and that he will then resume his position in the local-express office with a fund of strength that will enable him long to remain In charge. DEATH.

Fernandez, of Tampa, describing his fearful race with death, "as a result of liver trouble nnd heart disease, which had robbed me ot sletp and of all interest in life.

A large rowd assembled' at Evergreen Park Sunday afternoon to witness the Dun- nlgnn-College City baseball game. Wheu the smoke of battle cleared It wag ascertained that the result was the Bryan ratio ot 16 to 1, with Dunnlgan on the long end of the score. Notwithstanding the uneven score the game was Interesting and the crowd enjoyed it Immensely.

Carter twirled a good game for the College City boys and would have tho score down If his support had been better. Little Thad Hlatt pitched an excellent game, allowing his opponents only a few scattered hits. The other- members of the Dunnlgan team were In. their usual good form and the team Is credited with only two erorrs. The College City boys erred more frequently, though they played a fairly good game.

They comprise a nice, Jolly set of boys. There will probably be a game here next Sunday between Dunnlgan and Knights Land- Ing. If the latter team Is unable to come tho Dtinnlgan boys wlH probably go to College City for a return game. Tho following was the line-up of Sunday's game: Dunnlgan. Pos.
