——— THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 189 THE BAY DISTRICT TRACK, The Acrobatic Performance of Thornhill the Feature of the Day. LAST IN A FIELD OF FIVE. A Day’s Racing Full of Zig-Zags That Flavored Strongly of the Unhealthy. Soledad was backed down from 10to4to 1 in the opening race. The sister to Dolly McCone, Dolly M, was also carded as a good thing in the first event, but finished back in the ruc! Ichi Ban showed up very well for the length of time he has been in “Pop” Weaver's care. P fessor Oscar Gleason, the moted horse- tamer, is evidently as good at picking winners as heis expert at subduing the vicious mem- bers of the equine world. He hit the ring hard yesterday over the wins of Ricardo and Norb- lieh, getting over $5000 ahead on the day When a horse opens in the betting at 9 to 5, is backed down to 7 to 5, and at the last moment recedes in the ring to 2 to 1, with the bookies clambering for the money, it is a sure indication of a hard winter. Had Thomas the owner of Thornhiil, seen his horse terday he would have raded him for & dog and then invited tne luckless mongrel into a sausage factory. It is & well-known fact that Willie Flynn has had notori g favorites, and no doubt ma f not trying to win with Clacquer in_the last race yesterday. But I think hed any of these persons taken & | glance at the boy ce when he pulled up at the judge’s stand this delusion would have been dispelled. It resembled very much the pleased expression of the man’s face that re- ceived a cablegram announcing his mother-in- law’s rescue from the wrecked Elbe. Some months ago Thornhillstarted in a stake race handicapped so that he did not have a ghost of & chance of winning. Ridden by Sul- livan he was never in it, finishing last in a Thornhill and his stable irowrers,were warned good-sized fleld. mates, together with Off the track, not being sble to stay on the course that night. Yesterday, in a five-horse race, he run disgrac 1 after being backed down favorite, even hind the rank outsider Arctic. Yet the run was entirely over- looked by the judges. indeed a jewel.” Hail held Royal Flusi.out in his book ved him on the outside. “Consistency, thou art and p Ed Purser backed Soledad and Faro very strongly. Had Faro got ten instead of three Jengths the best of the start he might have won. Charley Quinn helped make the cut on Royal Flush. He has been lucky ot late and quitea delegation followed him. Colonel Dan Burns backed Thornhill and after the race occupied a guesser’s seat on the clubk It probably would have taken & ton half of coal to have made Colonel Dan back another “hot thing” about that time. The attendance at the track yesterday was very fair, and the music was also a few notes better than on the preceding day. The track was heavy, with about as much spring in it as a feather bed in a 15- cent lodging-house. In fact, it could be called dea But it was not the only thing about the grounds that was dead. The races were dead hard to pick, and if some of the horses that run were not dead their lease of life is only a question of time. Downing favorites is getting to be such a popular amusement that when one does accidentally win a smile is immeaiatel passed around the ring. Tenderfeet still play them a bit, but the chosen talent never. A six-furlong selling race served asan illustration of what science and brains have accomplished on the turf. Royal Flush and Thornhill were supposed to be the contending horses. and a ton of money went in on them. Thornhill was backed down to 7 to 5 after he had warmed up like a wild horse, but later went back to twos, and all you wanted of it. Then a rush was made to get aboard Royal Flush, and he closed post favorite. But science still has much to discover, for Realization jumped to the front when the flag fell and won with ridiculous ease from Royal Flush. May Day at 15 to 1 was third, Arctic fourth and the mud lark, Thornhill, last. Tt is said the latter sulked. If he did he ac- quired the babit very suddenly. But his jockey does not substantiate thi The first race, a five-furlong maiden race, was taken by W. O’B. Macdonough’s black Hanover filly. Sloe, second choice in the betting, in a drive from Ichi Ban, an out- gider. Halifax was a fair third. The second that went on the card, a short six-furiong selling affair, ended in an easy win for Ricardo, who went to the post 10 to 5. Faro, the favorite, who led for a quarter, finished second, and Road Runner third. Favorite players were dumped again in the next race. Del Norte was made favor- ite at 2 to 1, with Centurein second choice at threes. Neither got a chalkmark. Norblieh, a 12 to 1 chance, led all the way, winning by a bhead from Bellringer, a 20 to 1 shot. Hy Dy was a close third. The short-course steeplechase was a mere gallop for the favorite North, who went to the post 11 to 10 and was the only successful first choice of the day. \Muti- neer was a poor second and Wag a bad third. Lonnie B and Warrago fell at the second jump, their riders escaping without injury. Clacguer ran a rattling race on Tuesday, but yesterday he could not have won a fixed race. Backed from 314 to 2to1 he failed to get within a block of the money. Red Bird, Banjo and Sligo of the balance, received the most backing. Middleton led nearly the whole distance and well into the stretch, ®here Banjo came along on the outside and won handily by two lengths. Middleton was fully three lengths in front of Sligo.

DI UP THE CELLAR, A Search for More Treasure in the Radstone House Basement. The Aged Owner Believed to Have Secreted There Some $12,000. The discovery of nearly $3000 in gold among some old junk in a cellar at 226 Turk street has stimulated the heirs of the Radstone estate to fresh efforts. That i(‘eilar with its accumulations of yearsis | being turned topsy-turvy. The beirs have reason to believe that more treasure may be unearthed. Jacob | Radstone, the owner of the estate, col- lected rents to the amount of about $600 a month and always deposited $500 a month {in bank until within the last three years deposited nothing in bank. During all that time he would pay con- stant visits to the cellar, going down sometimes twice a day. He jealously guarded the key and would allow no one to enter, although his family could not understand his paying so much attention they thought was a lot of old He had always been a very secretive man, allowing no interference with his business. He had a_mechanical turn and invented the street lamps now in use, for which he might have claimed a royalty, but accepted instead the position of fore- man of the San Francisco Gaslight Com- pany at a salary of $250 a month. While | naturally thrifty he would lend money on | notes, but his main income was from his | rents. After his death the executrix and widow, Mrs, Jane Radstone, found a short- age of $15,000, for which there was no accounting. Every attempt to explain it failed, for the old man had simple habits |and his every movement was known ex- cept those daily visits to the cellar of the Turk-street house, where he resided. Mrs. | Radstone at once suspected that her hus- { band had been secreting money there and | instituted a search, but without avail. That she was upon_ the right scent was shown in the admission of Messrs. Fan- ning and Bridges in Judge Slack’s court yesterday, in which they told how they had found $2720 among a lot of junk pur- chased from the cellar for $25. The heirs now hope not only to recover some of that treasure, but also to_trace more of the $12,000 which is still missing. WAS DETERMINED TO DIE. An Unknown Suicide Picked Up Off the Ocean Beach. The body of an unknown man was found on the ocean beach yesterday. The head, arms and feet were gone and the remains must have been in the water at leasta month. The news of the “floater” having come ashore was telegraphed from the Cliff House and a Coroner’s deputy at once started for the ocean beach. It was at first supposed that the suicide was that of Char- Smith of McGlauflin & Co., but an investigation showed that it could not pos- sibly be the missing bookkeeper. Smith disappeared last Sunday and the corpse now in the Morgue must have been in the water at least a month. Weights were fastened to the body around the arms, and suicide must have been premeditated. OREMATION. Its Relative Popularity With People of Various Nationalities. Since the establishment of the crema- tory in Cypress Lawn Cemetery on the 12th of November, 1893, two hundred bodies have been disposed of in it, the two-century mark having been reached on the 30th of April. Some interesting figures are here- with given as showing the relative merit in which cremation is_held by people of different nativities. Native-born Ameri- cans are far in the lead, with 130; Ger- many comesa good second, with 46; and then follows England, with 7; France, 3; Denmark, 3; Austria, 3; Canada, 2: an Ireland, Scotland, Sweden and Switzer- land each 1. Two were of unknown na- tivity. The list included 112 males and 88 females. e e The Pacific Kennel Club. The Pacific Kennel Club met Wednesday evening at 21 Kearny street, and the business was in relation to the coming bench show, which has a prosperous future judging from the present interest manifested by sportsmen in its success. Herman Oelrichswas elected an honorary member and Sam Hughes, Captain C. B. Knocker end Milton D. Garrett were elected to membership. el L Probate Proceedings. Jeanne M.

DECISIONS THAT CONFLICT. Why Customs Officers Must Keep on the Alert for New Rulings. The question whether or not a bicycle is entitled to entry free of duty as part of the personal effects of an immigrant or pas- senger is just now troubling the local cus- toms ofticials. This question has been a bone of contention between the Treasury Department and the Board of United States General Appraisers ever since the latter was created by the customs admin- istrative act of June 18, 1890. The tariff acts for many years have made provision for entry free of duty of ‘“‘wear- ing apparel and other personal effects (not merchandise) of persons arriving in the United States”; but the tariff acts of 1890 and 1894 contain also the following pro- viso: “But this exemption shall not be held to include articles not actually in use and necessary and appropriate for the use of such persons for the purposes of their journey and present comfort and con- venience, or which are intended for any other person or persons, or for sale.”” The various tariff laws have also pro- vided for the free entrv of *‘books. house- hold effects or libraries of persons from foreign countries if used abroad by them vear,” with slight changes of phraseology, until the last tariff act (1894), which reads as follows: “Books, libraries, usual furniture and similar household effects,’” etc. | On December 22, 1884, the United States Supreme Court decided that a carriage used abroad over one year was entitled to free entry as ““household effects.” On April 4, 1884, the Treasury Depart- ment, acting under an opinion from Attor- ney-General Brewster that a bicycle is a personal effect, instructed customs officers to admit the same free of duty as personal effects when brought by a passenger. On November 3, 1890, the Board of Gen- eral Appraisers decided that ‘‘bicycles not being in the nature of wearing apparel, or intended for analogous purposes, in our judgment do not come within the inten- tion of the lawmakers and cannot be re- garded as ‘personal effects’ as to the term used in the tariff act of 1883.” In view of the conflict of opinion be- General and the board of general appraisers, the Secretary of the Treasury again in 1893 referred the matter to the Attorney-General for an expression of opinion as to whether or not the Treas- ury Department would be justified in fol- lowing the opinion of Attorney-General Brewster, notwithstanding the contrary ruling of the board of general appraisers. The Attorney-General says he concurs entirely in the opinion of the Treasury De- partment “That the Secretary may accept such decisions as a rule of action to be fol- lowed in the classification of other impor- tations, but is not compelled by law to do 0. On the other hand, while the Attor- renerals have never claimed for their ofticial opinion the force of law, it has al- ways been rezarded as the proper practice to follow their guidance, and Congress, while never directly legislating on this point, seems to contemplate that they are 10 be given practical effect.” The Attorney-General, after comment- ing on the change of phraseology in the tariff act regarding wearing apparel, con- cludes his opinion as follows: “After careful consideration, in my opin- ion, pbicycles are exempt from duty in like cases with other personal effects.” i Inaccordance with this last opinion of the Attorney-General, the Secretary of the | Treasury issued a circular Septernber 26, | 1893, instructing customs officers to admit bicycles free o% duty as personal effects when accompanying the passenger. This instruction has been adhered to by | customs officers until recently, when the | Collector of Customs at Duluth assessed duty on a bicycle brought by a passenger 'fmm Canada. The passenger, of course, | protested, and the board of general ap- | praisers has just rendered a decision sus- taining the Collector. _The general n{pmisers quote a de- cision of the United States Supreme Court where the court constructed the porase ‘“other personal effects” to refer only to cther articles of “‘personal baggage | not used as clothing”’; and as this view 1s in accordance with that uniformly adopted by the general appraisers they say that a bicycle is not ‘‘personal baggage,” and therefore not entitled to free entry. | Except for the change in phraseology in the paragraph of the troe Tist relating to “household effects’”” a bicycle might be ene! titled to free entry the same as a carriage if used abroad over one year. It certainly seems that a bicycle 1s an article for “present comfort and convenience” of a passenger after he lands, and as such might therefore be admitted free of duty. Just such conflicting opinions as ‘the above are rendered frequently, and the customs officials are required to be con- stantly on the alert to keep posted. NEWMARKET. Russell’s Colt Whittier Wins the March Stales. NEWMARKET, ExcLAND, May 2.—The March stakes were expected to be the event of the day here for Americans, but although Michael F. Dwyer’s Stonnell started, he was not placed. Mr. Russell’s brown colt, Whittier, 3 yearsold, was first; ‘Wallace Johnston’s bay colt, Best Man, 5 years old, second; T. Tuscomb’s chestnut colt, Marco, 3 years ola, third. Five horses, including Dwyer’s Stonnell, started. Stonnell had Simms up, carried 9 stone 3 pounds, Whittier carried 8 stone 3 pounds, Best Man 10 stone 3 pounds, Marco 8 stone 3 pounds. Betting at the post was 20 to 1 against Stonnell. The Peel handicap was won by Lord Londonderry’s 3-year-old colt, Besom. Dwyer’s Harry Reed, ridden by Simms, carrying 9 stone, was one of the nine horses that ran. The betting was 100 to 12 against Harry Reed. Foxhall Keene's filly by Barcaldine, out of Stephanoti, started with i3 others in the selling plate of 103 sovereigns for two-year-olds, seven stone, and for three- year-olds nine stone one pound, the win- ner to be sold at auction for 100 sovereigns, entrance fee 3 sovereigns, Rouse course (five furlongs), eight entries or no race; Sauteuse, a chestnut flly, by Sarabund, out of Feroosa, two-year-old, belonging to Captain F. Cookson, won. The Keene filly was fourth. The Newmarket two-year-old plate was won by E. J. Keylock’s Watchful, a chest- nut colt, by Thurio, out of Mizpah; Mr. J. H. Houldsworth’s chestnut filly, Laur- ito, by Springfield, out of Zaramua, sec- ond; Richard Croker’s Montauk, a chestnut colt, by Strathmore, out of Spin- away, third. Montauk carried 8 stone 10 pounds, Watchful 8 stone 10 pounds, and Laurita 8 stone 8 pounds. There were eight starters. Watchful made the whole running and won easily by three lengths. The conditions were as follows: The Newmarket two-year-old plate of 200 sov- ereigns added to a sweepstake of ten sov- ereigns each for starters; colts to carry 8 stone 8 pounds and fillies to carry 8 stone 7pounds. A winner to carry 5 pounds twice, or of a race value of 400 .sovereigns, ten pounds extra; entrance fee, 3 sover- eigns. Rouse course, distance five furlongs. The betting at the post was even money against Montauk, 5 to 2 against Lauriota and 10 to 1 against Watchful. ON THE EASTERN TURF. Halma Lowers the Track Record at Lex- ington. LEXINGTON, Ky., May 2.—This was the sixth day of the Kentucky Associa- tion’s spring meeting, at which there was a good crowd, while the weather was fine. The track was fast and the sport good. The feature of the day was the Pheenix Hotel stakes, in which Halma lowered the track record for a mile and an eighth one second, doing the distance in 1:5214, which is about a quarter of a second slower than the fastest time for the distance on a 'cycle track, the record being held by King Lee, who won the Merchants’ stakes at Latonia June 12, 1894, in 1:52}4. Halma and The Commoner were even money favorites. Halma was away in third position, took the lead at the quarter and held it all the way through. The Commoner forced him at the three-quarters and turned in the stretch a nose behind him. In the streich the pace was too hot for The Commoner, and he quit like a goat at the wire. Prince Imperial in the second race lowered the track record for fifteen-sixteenths of a mile. Carrie H, in the last race, ran away three miles with Jockey Houston pulling like a demon on the reins. Selling, for three-year-olds and upward, six furlongs, Royal Prince won, May Rose second, Peabody third. Time, 1:16. Selling, for three-year-olds and upward, fifteen-sixteenths of & mile, Prince Imperial won, La Joya second, Greenwich third. Time, 1:34Y4.

Seven furlongs, El Reno won, Glenoid sec- ond, Spendoline third. Time 1:32%. CHICAGO, IrL., May 2.—A rather light card at Hawthorne to-day furnished a good quality of sport. The track was still on the finest edge, and the horses ran close to record time. The outsiders succeeded only in making the right ones favcrites in two races out of the five. For maiden two-year-olds, allowances, half a mile, Clande Hill won,Scimitar second, Lady Maud third. Time, :49}4.

His condition is serious. THE ROSENTHAL STORE. Proceedings Between the Federal and State Courts Drawing to & Close. Collector of Internal Revenue Welburn and Chief Deputy Agent of Internal Revenue Thomas are determined not to put in an appearance in the Superior Court to answer to a charge of contempt. They hold that as United States officers they are not amenable to the laws govern- ing the State of California when it comes directly to an infringement of a United States law. A few days ago an officer of the Internal Revenue Department_seized the store of Mrs. Rosenthal on Market street. The charge was one of selling cigars out of boxes that had not paid the internal revenue tax, but as a receiver appointed by Judge Hebbard was in control of the es- tablishment there was some delicacy in seizing the store and manufactory. When the United States Marshal, actin, under instructions from Collector Wel- burn, took action Judge Hebbard got an%:ey and at once summoned them to appear be- fore him and answer for contempt of court. The United States officials apvealed to the Circuit Court for protection and Judge McKenna has decides to settle the difficuity to-day. Should his Honor order the records of the Superior Court sent to the clerk of the United States Circuit Court that will take the case out ot the hands of the State authorities and will leave the creditors completely out in the cold. A nice filestion of law is at issue, and Judge McKenna's decision is awail d with considerable interest. ¥ ——————— Prices Still Breaking. Crockery and chinaware are no exception to the rule. The Great American Import- ing Tea Company advertise dinner sets at exceptionally low prices. This company control their own designs in semi-porcelain ‘ware, and as a further inducement to pur- chasers they will sell half sets or single pieces at proportional prices. In case any piece of any set is lost or broken the firm agrees to duplicate it at the original cost. Customers can secure complete sets by pur- chasing one or two pieces at a time.. A perusal of their advertisement will show the addresses of their stores, seventeen in number, located in all portions of the City, and in Oakland and Alameda. Sl g SN Imprisoned the Boy. - W.J.

GOLD PROPERTIES DEVELOPED. Notes of Industry From Various Mining Centers In the West. Coal has been found near Bolinas by Morton Jones, formerly of San Rafael, and acompany will be formed to prospect the deposit. The latest machine for working the black sands of the ocean beaches has been per- fected by Samuel and Emery Gates of Modesto. Condic Brothers of Martinez have found a vein of copper ore in Mitchell canyon. James Baker, the Minister of Mines, British Columbia, writes that a report which is current that aliens are prohibited from acquiring mining claims in British Columbia except by purchase is incorrect. The law has not been altered in that respect. Miners around Orleans Bar, Humboldt County, anticipate a very good; mining season. In the vicinity of Redding there are about thirty quartz mines now being worked and paying well. Several pros- pected mines have been latelybonded, and will be thoroughly tested. > The mines of Trinity County are yield- ing rich returns this year. Many new quartz mines are being opened and the | yield of gold from that county bids fair to exceed the largest amount taken from that county in recent years. Several new creeks, or, rather, gulches, discovered in the Yukon River country, Alaska, last summer, are expected to turn out very well this year. Glacier Creek is surprisingly rich, some of the claims pros- gcting as high as $1 25 to theJJnn, though cents to the pan is considered an av- erage. The most extensive and promising lace is Birch Creek. It is believed that it is a great discovery and will equal in rich- ness the famous Caribou and Cassiar sec- tions. One gulch there, the Frying-pan, bids fair to be the richest yet discovere | the Yukon. A letter written in February from Forty Mile, on the Yukon River, says: All tray- eling is done here with dogs and sleds, and consequently dogs are valuable, some | bringing as high as $140. The commonest ones are worth from $25 to $30, though one can get a_very good dog, broke into har- ness, for from $75 to $80. A mining district called the Amalia has been formed in Kern County, to cover the same territory as the Agua Caliente school district. About a carload of antimony ore per month is being shipped from Miller's mine, near Havilah, Kern County. The United Verde Copper Company gives employment_to 300 men at their mines at Jerome. Nearly half that num- ber are employed on other claims adjacent to the property of the United Verde Com- pany, which makes the town of Jerome one of the liveliest mining camps in Arizona. One of the most important features of the Yukon district, Alaska, is the facility | which the various large rivers convergin, to form the main stream offer for trave and intercommunication. These afford the means for prospecting and exploring the country, and the distances to which they may respectively be ascended by boat or canoe has not yet, in most cases, been determined. There is considerable activity in the min- ing rezions of Sonora, Mexico. The Altar district presents a lively appearance. New | miners are arriving every day, and a good camp is bound to result. At Lampazas a large force of men are employed, most of whom are Mexicans. The Americans num- ber between 75 and 100. Many Americans are also doing well in working their own claims, and a general air of prosperity is everywhere to be seen. At the rich placer diggings water is scarce and many of the prospectors have left for this season. The Pheenix mine in Robinsonville dis- trict, Baker County, Or., has been sold for $40,000 to C, W. and C. H. Jackson of New York and Alliene Case of Boise City, Idabo. _ The gold-finding industry goes on with- out ostentation and fuss in Josephine County, Or., says the Rogue River Courier, while the world is busying itseli over financial depression. Every day new nug- gets are finding their way into town from some of the many placer mines tributary | to Grants Pass. Thomas James,who returned to Ashland, Or., from a tour of the mining country in the Foots Creek, Galls Creek and Gold Hill sections, reports that it is astonishing NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS. “BARGAIN-DAY” SPECIALS S e NEW PARASOLS, RIBBONS AND HANDKERCHI this special occasion To me-t the expectations of our Bargain-day patrons who have learned to look for EXTRA VALUES at the close of each week, we have selected the following seasonable lines and offer them for AT HALF PRICE AND LESS! will be placed on sale at 15¢ each.

It takes that Iength of time to recover from a boom and get down to solid foundation. There is talk of a Colorado syndicate utting up sampling works, in Spokane, Wash., this summer. Five Seattle miners are fitting a 15-ton schooner for the purpose of exploring the inlets and rivers of the Alaska coast. Be- sides a year’s supply of provisions they carry a small steam engine and boiler, a gold concentrator and several thousand feet of lumber for the construction of sluice boxes and cabins, and all the necessary tools for working either quartz or placer mines. Mr. James Gray says that he has been prospecting in Kern and Inyo for the past jourteen years and that there is plenty of ore assaying from $8 to $10 per ton to be found almost anywhere on the hills about Havilah. With present facilities it gen- erally costs about $20 per ton to work ore. There is no water power. Wood is scarce. Mines are in the hands of poor men who cannot build tramways or cable lines to reduce cost of carrying ore. Only four miles from the town as the crow flies is Kern River, with unlimited facilities for MONITORS the number of prospectors and pocket hunters who are swarming in the hills of Southern Oregon these days. He visited the scene of the recent rich strike by Law- rence on Galls Creek, where was taken out of six tons of rock. A tunnel was run in on_ this claim at a’depth of seventy feet, but the ore uncovered is low grade. The mines of the Crocker Creek Gold Mining Company, Oregon, were sold at Sherift's sale last week for $55,000, the urchaser being Alexander Ba ni of ndon, one of the original syndicate whic! purchased the minessome years agoand {mt up a fine plant. After runn‘mg an 800-foot tunnel the stockholders refused to pzt up any more money for develop- men! Lynx Creek District, Arizona, is quite active and promising. Under a law passed by the last Legisla- ture of Arizona a heavy penalty isattached to the “‘salting” of a mine for the purpose of deceiving any one as to the value of the ore it contains. There is talk again of the starting of a smelter in Prescott, Ariz. This has been talged of offand on for years, but the pres- ent talk has a business ring about it, for the reason that those connected with the proposition are practical men, and have the means to carry it out. Prescott isin the center of :,5““ mining region, and it leelllljs as if uction works would pay wel | The Prospector announces renewed ac- AT WOREK. deyeloping water power. By electric trans- | mission a great deal of this could be used in working these mines. The prospective value of the Yukon dis- triet, Xllskn, and the northern part gi British Columbia as a mining district is great. This region includes a length of aver 500 miles of the Cordillerd belt of the west, which, wherever it has been exam- ined, has been found rich in minerals, and particularly so in deposits of precious metals, The width of this particular part of the Cordillera belt is also great, as it appears to extend from the coast to the eastern ranges of the Rocky Mountains in the y)clmt'y of the Mackenzie River. This portion of the Cordillera region, together with that of the more southern part of British Columbia, gives an aggregate length of between 1200 and 1300 miles, almost exactly equal to the length of the same metalliferous belt contained in the United States, and susceptgle of an event- ual mining development equally as great. The'Cook’s Inlet country wi ive i L Ty will receive its ull;:_are of the rush of prospectors to Alaska this season, but nothing like the crowds that are now rushing pellmell into the Yukon. While the Yulton placers. are a nown quantity, those of Cook’s Inletyet rel:n in to be proven, and this is the reason why so many old-time prospectors prefer going to the former section notwithstand- ing all hardships and privations to going to the latter place, with no hardships what- ever to encounter in reachingit. And not | before next fall will the richness and ex- -2 tent of the Cook’s Inlet placers be proven. Gravel Mines in Siskiyou and Trinity. Hydraulicking is not interfered with in Trinity or Siskiyou counties, as there are no navigable streams in that section of the State. All of the smaller rivers, creeks and streams finally empty into the Klam- ath River, which has been officially de- clared a non-navigable stream. For this reason the provisions of the Caminetti law do not apply to that section of the State. The California Debris Commission has no jurisdiction over hydraulic mining up there, and impounding dams are not re- quired for the debris. The Caminetti law, prescnhing impounding barriers, dams, etc., at hydraulic mines, applies only to mines located in the greatdrainage in of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, but it thus covers the largest oT= tions of the hydraulic mining region of the State. By reason of the fact that Siskiyou and Trinity counties are exempt from the rovisions of this law, there have been of late many investments in hydraulic min- ing properties. The auriferous gravel deposits of both these counties are very extensive and there yet remain large tracts of virgin ground. These counties never had the extensive reservoir and ditch systems built up in the central northern counties, and most of the mines have their private water supply systems. A great deal of money will have to be invested in ditches, pipe lines, reser- voirs, flumes, etc., before much of the ground now idle can be developed. In some parts of Siskiyou there are extensive tracts of cemented gravel, which they are only now commencing to drift, the gravel being crushed in small cement-mills. As yet there are few of these mills, but should those now built prove successful many others will doubtless follow. But of gravel- banks fit to hydraulic there are many thousand acres yet unopened for lack of capital to furnish’equipment and plant. During the most peaceful years the world has 3,700,000 soldiers, who ‘are withdrawn from productive occupations to pose as soldiers. The pay, equipments. food and clothing of these men cost the world’s tax- payers nearly $8,000,000 a day. 5 T iy v———-"'(4 The San Francisco Laundry. 33 Geary Street.
