After leaving th . courtroom he said that he had been notified that he might be required to go to northern California, but be had a yet received no instruc tions as to tb purpose of th trip. It ia suDooaed that the a-overnment Is plsnning further investigations of" the huge land rauds which were perpetrated in the richly timbered areas of Califor nia's northern counties, and that. Mr. Bristol Is to b sent to aid in this work, possibly with the Idea of establishing a greater degree of co-operation between the district attorneys of th two states. Th recent discoveries of enormous frauds In Oregon school lands have led to the belief, that th full magnitude of th .operations of th Puter-McKlnley ring has not yet been ascertained. Th same is believed to be true of th Hyde- Dlmond-Benson ring,, and It is well known that extensive frauds war perpe trated in Humboldt, Siskiyou and other northern counties of California, which thus far hare escaped investigation. - If District Attorney Bristol should be sent to California It will probably be token renewed activity on the part of me government in running aown tne land frauds tn that state. .
