Mexico City, Nov. 27. A special to
th Herald from Guadalajara says:
B. F. lticliardson, a capitalist of
Pennsylvania, and C. W. Johnston, a
lielaware man, have secured from the
Mexican government a comc-ssion for
the recovery of the gold that Jstill re
mains in the hull of the Golden Gate,

carried nearly $1,500,000 in to d coin,
destined fur New York banks. While
heading north toward Manzanillo fire
broke out aboard the vessel, and in an
attempt to save the passengers the ship
was run aidiore. However, ntarly 200
persons were either burned to death or
drowned. Of the amount aboard the
ship, between $800,000 and $900,000Ters are planning to go to the mountains'

Elk Protected by Law.
Salem Overlooking an act of the
special session of the Oregon legislature
in 1903, quite a number of people have
gained the impression that after Janu-
ary 1, 1907, it will be lawful to kill
elk. and it is known that several hunt -
elk hunting arter that date. But the
legislature of 1903 anticipated a lapse
in the law protectin". elk by enacting ;a
law which extends the protection until
September 15, 1907, andafterthat time
elk may be killed only from September
15 to October 15, and only one in a sea-
son by any person.
