THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1895. T LATEST OAKLAND NEWS, Trial of Michael Collins for Killing Philip Boogar Begun. REPROVED BY THE COURT. Second Regatta of the California Yacht Club—Robbed a Restaurant. In the trial of Michael Collins for the kiiling of Philip Boogar in Oakland last January the most sensational occurence sterday was developed when Mr. Wright, ex-manager of the Hotel Galindo, came back on the witness-stand and rather flatly contradicted the testimony he had just given. In the afternoon he testified as to disrob- ing the wounded man and handing the garments to Marks, a friend of Boogar, as he took them off. So the evidence stood when a recess of five minutes was taken. At its conclusion District Attorney Snook recalled Wright, whereupon the witness said he laid the garments of Boogar on the foot of the bed when he took them off, and that Marks did not handle them. The point was to make it quite plain that Boogar was not armed on the night of the murder. Attorney George A. Knight, who ap- pears for the defendant, confronted the witness with the discrepancies in his testi- mony, wherenpon Wright grew uncertain. He said be did not know even that Boo- gar's residence was at Bighth and Frank- lin streets. Dr. J. A, Miller, who was first called to attend Boogar, said that morphine does affect the brain, and that the morphine he gave to Boogar to ease his pain must have atfected his brain. All this was an effort on the part of Knight to make the people’s witness admit that Boogar was not of sound mind when he made his ante-mor- tem statement accusing Michael Collins of his murder. W. T. Alcom was the first witness called in the case. He had seen the shooting, he said. He saw a scuffle in front of the Ga- 1indo Hotel, then nheard the shots. He fol- lowed Collins to his home and was there when the policeman arrived. He did not hear Collins say, “‘I did it,” or anything of the kind. A. A. Schlueter said he saw Collins fire the shot. “The men were engaged ina combat,” he said, ‘‘and after the first shot was firea the men were scuffling about for thirty seconds. I thought neither hada weapon in his hand. I did not see a pistol in Boogar's hand. Captain Hunt, the watchman, detailed | the circumstances of the meeting between Boogarand Collins. He said there was no appreciable time between the two shots. He did not see Collins flourish his re- volver. james A. Insfer, Policemen Banks and ®ikes also testified. The case goes on to-morrow.

Miss Carrie Lockyer of Berkel asked the Superior Court of u'.’mfa‘: County to make Mlgar John F. Hayes pay her $10,000 for breach of promise. Syhe says all the arrangements were made for the wedding, and even the ggnesta invited, when the major declared the match off. On the other hand, in 2n interview yes. terday Major Hayes said he was ready and willing to make gcod his promise tothe Berkeley lady whenever she was ready. He says the match was broken off because his father was ill. Robbed a Restaurant. The latest crime by the housebreakers was the robbing of the restaurant at the Trestle Glen picnic grounds. Some time during Wednesday night the thieves broke in one of the doors of the structure and carried off almost everything in sight. All the tableware and linen, a quantity of liquors and other articles were taken, and from the bulk of the plunder it is be- lieved that the robbers must bave had a ‘wagon to carry away their spoils. Detectives Shorey and Williams are working on the case, but as yet no trace of the thieves has been discovered. Held for Attempted Burglary. Thomas Brown, the young man who was arrested by Policeman Quigley on Seventh street, on the suspicion that he was going to commit burglary, was examined before Police Judge \5003' yesterday, and held in $2000 bonds to appear before the Superior Court on a charge of attempted burglary. He failed to satisfactorily exglam the pos- session of a kit of tools which resemble those used by burglars, and told a rambling story of how he came to “e on the streets during the smell hours of the morning. Still at Large. Thm;fih Sheriff White and his deputies searched diligently all during Wednesday night and yesterday for some trace of the gnsoners who escaped from the County ail, no clew to them was found. Harris, the trusty, who concocted the scheme and enabled the desperate men to gain their libert{, was seen near San Pablo yesterday morning by a man who knew him person- ally, but he had disappeared by the time thp“Sherifi learned of it and went in pur- sull No Gardener for the Mayor. The Auditln% and Finance Committee of Oakland’s Council has decided that Mayor Davie must set out the plants him- self in front of the courthouse, or pay for the work out of his own pocket, or else let the work go. The Mayor’s recommendation to bond the city for public improyements was laid over. Lambert, the ex-Police Court clerk, has made a statement positively denying that there is any Chinese bail money due. Another Ysaye Concert. Encouraged by the success of the recent Ysaye concert” at the Macdonough the local managers have engaged the gmous violinist for a second performance, which will be gliven on Thursday night next.

The eighteenth annual reunion and picnic of the State of Maine Association will be held to-morrow at San Lorenzo Grove, on the line of the Haywards elec- tric line. ALAMEDA. The recently purchased arc-light plant Was put to a severe test Wednesday night and yesterday morning, and toall accounts itstood it well. The test was a continuous one of fourteen hours under the operation of the expert of the company. It was ad- mitted that there was no flashing, con- cerning which there has been so much criticism. When the plant was first in- stalled carbons of half an inch diameter were used. During the past week carbons with a diameter of five-eighths of an inch were substituted, new commutators and brushes wemfl)ut in, and since then the lights have shown a remarkable improve- ment. Succeeded by the Alameda Banks. The Alameda Savings Bank and the Bank of Alameda will succeed to the busi- ness of the Encinal Savings ‘Bank and Encinal Bank respectively when the latter two institutions go out of business on the 380th of next month. The Alameda banks will remove the two big vaults to their building at the corner of Central avenue and Park street. Ceremony Not Valid. J. 8. Somps, who was married on Satur- day by a clergyman in San Francisco, after which a question arose as to the validity of the ceremony, because per- form®d in a county other than the one authorized in the license, had his mistake rectified by being married here again to his bride yesterday. The latter ceremony was before the Recorder. Levied on the Wrong Horse. Schroeder & Holsinger brought suit yes- terday against Smith & Higginbotham of the speed track traiuing stables to recover $23 for feed furnished.

BERKELEY. The Berkeley Electric Railway Company has commenced the construction of an electric road to extend from the lowerlimit of West Berkeley to College avenue, near the eastern line of the town. Cars have already been ordered and are now under course of construction, and when the line is completed it is expected that the trip from the center of town to the western termicus will be made in about five minutes. The company is arranging for a system of transfers to the lines operated b‘i' the Ozkiand Consolidated Comfiany and the Telegraph-avenue line, which if ‘successful will admit of West Berkeley people reach- ing Oakland and San Francisco in much shorter time than heretofore.

SYNAGOGUE SITE BOUGHT. Congregation Ohabai Shalome to Have Its Own Tem- ple Again. WORK TO BEGIN ON MONDAY. The New Edifice Will Be on Bush Street, Between Octavia and Laguna. After being without a place of worship of its own for more than a year the Con- gregation Ohabai Shalome is now in a position to announce that it will once more hold services under the roof of its own temple during the great holiday season which begins about four months hence. About a year ago the congregation sold William G. Loewe, dq:rgman. $500; T. A. Burns, produce and fruit dealer, $500; Lutz, baker, $1600; Brigham Hoppe, provision- dealer, $500; James M. Furrer, dairyman, $1000. There is also about $500 owing for wages. ————— JOHN ROSENFELD ON COAL. The Merchant Expresses His Views of the Present Xituation. John Rosenfeld was discussing on ’Change yesterday afternoon an editorial which had appeared in a morning paper on the coal question. The article advised the consumers to combine, charter ships, load their own coal from the mines, and thus bring that necessary mineral down to an economical standard. The coal merchant seemed much amused and good-humoredly reviewed the situa- tion, “Why,” said he, “not a man in the coal business has made money in the last three vears. The retailers arefailing all around. hey eannot pay the wholesalers, and, consequently, the latter are suffering. Coal cargoes could not be s0ld to outside parties at the mine. Even if they could it would make no difference in the price of that commodity. We were losing thou- sands of dollars when we reduced the price of coal, and we were compelled to bring it back to the old standard or go under. 4Tt is a mistake to suppose that there is THE NEW SYNAGOGUE. its synagogue site on Mason street, near Geary, and the structure thereon to the Native Sons of the Golden West Hall Association, where the latter is now putting up a handsome structure. Bince then services have been held in Golden Gate Hall, but measures were set on foot at once to secure another site further up- town. Nothing suitable, however, offered until a week or two ago, when a lot was purchased on the south side of Bush street, east of Laguna, measuring 60x137:6 feet. It was bought from James P. Healy,J. H. and Margaret E. Gallivan for $11,500. ork on the synagogue will be begun on Monday, the contract iavin already been let for the excavating and foundation work. It is estimated that the cost of the temple will be about $16,000. Plans have been completed for some t{ime, and from now on the work will be pushed with all possible speed. While it is not expected to have it finished in time for the approach- ing holidays, it will be in such condition as to allow of services being held therein. There are now sufficient funds on hand to defray much the larger part of the cost of the site and of the building, $7000 having | been subscribed within the past few months by private individuals, while con- siderable additions have been made to the treasury through the efforts of the aunxil- iary association of the congregation, which has turned over the revenues de- rived from the various entertainments given under its auspices. In order, how- ever, that there maYl no lack of funds on as hand, application been made to the Buperior Court for permission to mortgage the newly purchased site to the Hibernia Bank for . The structure will coveran area of 60x120 feet and the front will be of stone and brick and the roof of tile. From the side- walk to the top of the spires the distance will be 100 feet. The -auditorium with a 5&Uery will have a seating capacity of 800, bove and to the rear of the pulpit will be the choir and organ loft, instead of op- posite the pulpit, as was the case in the old synago lobby, will be a classroom with a seating c;facity of 100, the secretary’s room and a ladies’ parlor. On one side of the pulpit will be the rabbi’s study and on the other the cantor’s room. There will be a_stair- case on each side of the lobby leading to the gallery. In the front of the edifice and on a level with the gallery will be an auxiliary hall with a capacity for an audience of 250 people. This will be used by the auxiliary association of the congregation for holding its entertainments. Itis provided with a stage, dressing-room, parlors and all the necessary appurtenances for giving dra- matic performances. Cathedral glass will be used for the win- dows and the main augditorium will have a groined ceilin; INSOLVENT CATERER. Louis Meyer Sunk a Small Fortune in Business During the Past Two Yenrs. Louis Meyer, proprietor of Meyer’s din- ing-rooms at 14 and 16 Eddy street, has been forced into insolvency. He at- tributes his misfortune to the wide and keen competition that has re- cently developed in his line of business in his immediate neighborhood. He estimates his liabilities at about $13,000, while his assets consist of the fixtures and goodwill of his place of business. This was fitted uj about two years ago at an expense of aboul $11,000. Tge business began to fall short of returning expenses about eight months ago.

A book agent once atonsed at a house in the country, where he told the owner that he had been recommended to her because she already had so many books. “I should think that was a curious reason,” she said. “Now, there is my next neighbor. You should have gone to her, instead, for she has no_books at all.” The wily agent shook his head. ‘‘Ah, weknow better than that,” he answered. “Those who have no books never buy any.

Sampling Werks of Great Capacity to Be Opened at Butte, Mont. The McHaney Bros.’ mine out on the desert near Indio, having turned out $10,000 with a two-stamp mill, is held ata valuation of $2,000,000 by its owners, so they will probably hold it themselves. Very fully developed, equipped and steadily paying gold mines can be pur- chased a long way below such figures. The deepest shaft is only thirty feet deep. so the mine is really only a prospect, though a rich ome, and prospects, even rich, never bring any such extravagant prices. A mine in Riverside County being for sale is being examined by some San Fran- cisco men, and the Southern California paper which refers to it hails with satisfac- tion what it calls the advent of ‘‘foreign capital.” The Stewart mill at Brigham, Utah, has been destroyed by fire. It, with the other buildings and plant, was valued at $30,000. The new cyanide plant of the Mercur mill (Utah) has been started up. The Copper Queen mine at Bisbee, Ariz., produced 12,968,372 pounds of copper last ‘ear. 4 A good deposit of roofing slate is on John Muller’s ranch, between Merced and Hornitos. The Gillis pocket claims on Jackass Hill, Tuolumne County, are turning out con- siderable gold. The New Idria mines have been sold and the new company will put on a larger force. x & At the new Pierce group of mines, in the Dragoon Mountains, Ariz., there are many ‘prospectors. A mortgage of $100,000 has been fore- closed by ilnssachusetts men on the Good Hope mine, Perris, Riverside County. The Los Angeles Times says the price paid for the mine was$750,000, ana the buyers think they paid too much. This, however, they should have found out before paying the money. Negotiations are in progress for the sale of the Bellwether mine, Amador County. The Farrell mine, Middle Bar, Amador County, will shortly be started up by Mr. Rosenburg of Oakland, who talks of add- ing five more stamps to the mill. 'fihe Wildman and Mahoney mines at Sutter Creek, Amador County, both operat- ing under the same management, have about ninety men on the payroll. Work on the Golden Feather riverbed mine, Butte County, will begin early in July. The mine is owned by English capitalists, with Major Frank McLaughlin of Oroville as manager, ) It is expected that operations on the Pheenix mine at Hasleton, Butte County, will shortly be resumed. Near the depot in Oroville two men ==s making a fair living hoisting gravel from a 30-foot shaft and washing it in a rocker. Thomas Couch has come down from Butte, Montana, and has charge of the Merced Mining Company’s property at Coulterville, Mariposa Couut{{. iver, Kern Gold mining at White County, is quite active. The Heal dsburg Tribune announces a new sirike in the Cinnabar King quick- silver mine. A number of Red Bluff people have organized a company to operate the Trinity Consolidated mine, embracing five locations on Dog Creek, six miles north- west of Delta, Shasta County. The claims are Trinity, Tehama, Sitting Bull, Last Chance and Stonewall. Thers is a 10- stamp mill on the property. Placer is doing more than the other inte- rior counties of g]:.e State towara financially assisting the State Miners’ Association. Capitalists in Napa have put up $10,000 to develop the Taber mine, near Gibson- ville, Plumas County. By meansof a tun- net, already in 3000 feet,it is proposed to tap the channel in Gibsonville ridge, part of which is now being worked by the This- tle Shaft Company with great success. Mr. Taber’s property lies above and next to that owned by the company just named. The Russell process, which has long been in use at the Marsac mill, Utah, and else- where, is to be adopted for working gold- silver-lead ores at the Golden Reward mine, South Dakota. The properties of the Mayfield Mining Company, Big Cottonwood, Utah, are to be equipped with new machinery. @ood strikes are reported in the lower levels of the Mammoth mine, Utah. E. H. Russell, patentee of the Russell rocess of working ores, has come to Cali- ornia on a visit. The old Jordan mill at Bingham, Utah, has resumed operations, ‘White Bros. are building a motor power arastra on their mine in Bohemia district, Oregon. Rich placer diggings have been discov- ered in Granite Creek, near the point where The Dalles military wagon road crosses Little Malheur Creak, Oregon. A cyanide mill to cost $5000 is to be erected at Seymour to work the tailings of the Vulture mine, Arizona, of which there are 25,000 tons, and will take years {o work them. A 200-foot well has been sunk to replace the one that caved in during last rise of the Hassayampa. 5 The Aravaipa mines, after continuous working for five years, closed down last Saturday evening, says the Tucson Star. The low_ price of lead and silver is the cause assigned, but assoon as pricesdjustify the reopening, work will be resumed. The Yuma Sentinel says the Harqua Hala Bonanza mill has been shut down, and that the mine is now a thing of the past. Sixty men were discharged, the re- mainder of the force being retained to work over the tailings by the cyanide process. A company has been formed, says the Kingsman (Ariz.) Miner, to tunnel Stock- ton Hill, whieh, it adds, has produced more ore than all the other mines of Mo- jave County, Ariz. The tunnel will tap the ledges from 500 to 1000 feet below the present deefiest workings._ The new Huntington will at Montgom- ery, in the Vanderbilt district, is com- pleted and the old one repaired. Both are running to their full capacity on ore from the Johnnie mine. s The West Harmony Mining Company of Nevada County have elected the following board_of directors: A. (soard, B.J. Wat- son, Vanderlyn Stow, H. P. Stow and R. C. Walrath. "The board elected R. C. Wal- rath president, Max Isoard secretary and Vanderlyn Stow treasurer. P.R. iobem has been appointed super- intendent of the North Star mine at Grass Valley. = : The W.Y.O.L. mine, Grass Valley, is to haveten stamps added to its mill. John Spaulding, owner of the Polar Star mine, Placer County, failed to get a permit from the California Debris Commission to mine by the hydraulic process. The Oalifornia Debris Commission has refused to grant permission to mine by the hydraulic process to the Liberty Hill mine, Little York Township, Nevada County. The Calumet and Hecla, Michigan, cop- er mine has paid altogether in dividends $41.850,000, Forty - six companies mining on tue ‘Witwatersrand, South Africa, employ 2645 stamps to mill on an average 262,897 tons of “‘blanket” per month. The average ggmnmy of stone crushed per stamp per iem is stated to be 4.23 tons, and the gold yield 8.91 dwt. per ton, valued at £112s 1d. At the Eureka and Excelsior mine, Cracker Creek district, Baker County, Or., in addition to the 20-stamp mill a 10-stamp mill is running on ores on which the cyanide process is being successfully worked, this being the first instance of the successful working of the cyanide process in the treatment of Oregon ores. The cost of production by this process will enable the working of low-grade ores heretofore considered worthless. A great deal of money has been spent in experimenting with the ores from the E. and E. mines, and carload shipments haye been sent to Denver, Butte, Kastern and even European cities to be experimented with in an en- deavor to find a successful method of treat- | ing the lower-grade ores without too great loss. The cyanide process as now used seems to have solved the problem, and the mines are now making profitable returns. Butte will have a sampling works capa- ble of treating from 200 to 300 tons of ore in operation inside of a month. Ground was broken last week at the corner of Maryland avenue and the Butte, Anaconda and Pa- cific tracks, and the grading is now almost completed, says the Inter-Mountain. The copper output of the United States in 1894 exceeded that in any previous year in the history of this or any other country, notwithstanding the fact that the price of copper (9.488 cents per pound for lake) was lower than ever before known and much below the actual average cost of production only a few years ago. In addi- tion the home market was greatly de- pressed and consumption curtailed in many important departments. This mar- velous result was due to the great improve- ments introduced within a few years in copper metallurgy and to a less extent in mining, and to the vast size and richness of our copper deposits. California Mineral Lands. A list of railroad lands, comprising areas in Southern Oregon and Northern Cali- fornia, has gone for patents as faras the Oregon lands are concerned, but for the present the California lands are withheld. This shows that the Land Office, or the Interior Department, is mindful of the visit and inquiry of President Cleveland aiter his recent interview with Mr. Rick-~ etts, who called on him in behalf of the California Miners’ Association. Itis evi- dent that the patents to California lands as yet unclassified asto their mineral char- acter will not be so readily obtained by the railroad company in the future. The influence of the California Miners’ Asso- ciation is being felt in Washington, as it is seen that the miners are in earnest fight- ing for their rights. The Government never intended to give the railroads any mineral in their grants, as such lands were expressly excepted from the grants. But they take them, mineral or no mineral, unless thereis a contest. The California Miners’ Association wants the lands to be classified before passing to patents, as they should be in all justice, and the rail- road company is rushing through its lists, for fear that such a classification will take place. A clear statement of the miners’ side of the case was left in writing with the President by Mr. Ricketts, and the ex- ecutive has promised if he is convinced of the justice of the miners’ side to take such steps as will prevent the further patenting of mineral lands by railroads in California. Itisa good sign that the Cali- fornia lands in the instance cited were omitted, as it is evident the matter is being more carefully looked into than formerly. Trinity Miners and the Railroad, The Weaverville (Trinity County) Jour- nal, in speaking of the fact that the South- ern Pacific Company is going ahead pat- enting the lands in that county, whether mineral or not, and that the miners are strenuously objecting, says: “As will be seen, the railroad is going ahead to patent land claimed by it in this county. Rumors of what the Seeretary of the Interior in- tends to do when he gets good and ready or what Mr. Cleveland may do affect the company but little and soothe the holder of a possessory right to a mining claim to a sense of false security. In our opinion the mining land of Trinity County can be saved to the prospector ouly by a steady effort on the part of the people of the county. Outside associations may help us a good deal or not at all, and if we wait for n&:ers to do our work for us we are liable to be leit in the lurch. Active measures will at once be taken to collect money and appoint competent men to attend to the matter before it is too late.” In explanation of this it may be stated that the State Miners’ Association are en- ing i ible to save rnia from the grasp of the railroad companies and the different counties were warned months ago that they must take active steps to as- sist in the contest. Many of them, how- ever, have done little or nothing one way or the other to help the State association carry on thbe fight. 1f, however, each county were to carry on a separate contest, as the Journal suggests, there would be so much ‘“scattering’ that little could be ac- complished. If all the mining counties combine vigorously to help the State asso- ciation, and take an active interest in its efforts, the concert of action would achieve beneficial results. More has already been accomplished in the last two months by the committee on protection of mineral lands of the State Miners’ Association than has been done in ten years by individual efforts. The Trinity County Miners’ As- sociation may be able to carry on this fight by itself, but it will be apt to do much better by working in the common cause with all'the other mining associations of the State.
