The people of Angels are improying the | occasion and taking a general holiday. Crowds leave every day the mountains. C: D.

A party of the Utica Company’s men have just returned from Alaska, where they have been putting up a stamp mill for the Juneau Mining (Lane and Hayward). From conversations with the returned men I learn that this company has in its Silver Bow properties, comprising twenty-two claims, about four miles from Juneau— probable the greatest gold mine in the world. From the description, it is a mountain of quartz, 3000 feet high, mil- lions of tons being in sight above the sur- face, which can be quarried and worked for less than $2 per ton. Mr. Lane tells me that it is of higher grade than the Ttica, ranging up to $12 or $i4 per ton. he only drawback is the fact that the mine and mill have to be shut down for five months in the winter. A force of fifty men is employed at present, to be increased indefinitely in the future. In my next letter 1 hope to give you | some interesting facts about new develop- ments and enterprises on the veins lying parallel to the Utica, both east and west. J.

It is an advantage to Angels to have the truth brought home as only a shut-down could bring it. Another advantage, and a at one, is the interest awakened regard- the camp and the information dissem- inated through the agency of the fire. The e and re possibilities of this belt a ppreciated by but few t home, and are not dreamed of by the world at large. How few, even among mining men, know that the Utica vein is a veritable Comstock, with stopes 100 feet wide and pay-ore from wall to wall? And the vein is hardly prospected. It was gouged out on the surface in early days for a distance of 4000 feet, but the eepest level to-day is 1000 feet in the Utica, and two-thirds of the lode is virgin und, so far as deep working is con- cerned. The vein is a great fissure ranging from 20 1o 100 feet wide, in a coungry-rock loca called slate and green stone, but which mostly ahard diabase. chutes of varying lengths, from 50 to 800 . 1t is in the form of bunches, veins nd stringers of quartz, and often large of auriferous talcase schists.

Such is far from being the case. By reference to the accompanying sketch map it will be seen that between Angels Creek and the north- 3 mity of the Fritz mine, which is the last mine on the lode proper. at the end of town, the Utica Company owns 1300 feet, or considerably les: than one-third of the ground. The de estshaft on any of the other claims (650 feet) is on the Angels mine, which is nearly as large as the consolidated claims of the Utica. There is no work Being done on any of these northern mines the Fritz, where J. G. Maltman is sinking and drifting under a lease. The lowest workings on this mine are only sixty feet, and in the crosscut being run from the prospect shaft the vein matter is ninety feet wide and prospects well.

Virginia or any of “the other bonanzas of the Comstock, with hardly a pick stuck into it for fifteen or twenty years! Yet here, on a vein which alfost rivals the Comstock in mag- nitude, which paid on the surface from one end to the other, with the evidence of uni- form increase of richness in depth afforded by the Utica, nothing has been done but ‘“‘waiting for capital”! There are evidences of awakening in Angels. The town needs an explosion! I cannot find or hear of any map of this mining district, or even of the Utica lode. From information furnished by Mr. Lane, superintendent of the Utica: J. G. Malt- man, who has lived here all his life, and is one of the best-posted men on mining in the county; Mr. Adams, the enterprising oung agent of THE CaLL, and others, I Yave wathered ‘these nofés and made a rough sketch of the Angels mines. It isap- proximately correct, but does not profess 10 be absolutely so. A map of this district, showing the pdrallel veins of the mother lode. and their concentration in the great mountain of quartz at Carson Hill, would be extremely interesting and valuable. It may rremain for THe CALL to furnish such & map at some future time. TPhere is nothing new of importance at the Utica.

BlG: DEMOCRATS COMING. | Speaker Crisp Will Head a | Party of Statesmen to This City. | Evidently Feel the Need of Playing an Aggressive Game Next Campaign. That the National leaders of the Demo cratic party entertain grave apprehensions | concerning tlie prospects of party success | in the West in the next Presidential cam- paign, and that they have arrived at the conclusion that the most strenuous efforts will be required to regain the ground that has been lost during the Cleveland ad- ministration, or to even maintain tne present prestige of the party, is evidenced by a piece of news received in this Cit; pper levels would keep their mills | yesterday. It was to the effect that a | grand effort will be made the coming fall to rehabilitate the party throughout all | the Northwestern, the Pacific and South- western States by sending a part¥ of dis- | tinguished Democratic leaders on a tour of | the sections named, to speak in all the | principal cities. The news came in the form of a letterto Fran 1 iin K. Lane, of the law firm of Lane ne, from the secretary of the National jety of Democratic Clubs at Washing- ton. It stated that a party composed of | ator Morgan of Alabama,. “Private” | John Allen, Con.ressman from Missis- | sippi; Chauncey F. Black of Pennsylvania, | president of the National Society of Demo- | cratic Clubs; Speaker Crisp of the House | of Representatives ana perhaps one or two | more prominent Democrats, would start | | on a tour of the West early Septembe: T, and that beginning at St. Paul they would | speak in all the leading cities of Minne.- sota, Dakota, Montana, Washington, Ore- gon and California, returning East by way of the Southern or Central Pacific rail- roads. tour would not be made in the interest of | any particular Democratic candidate for the Presidency, nor especially in the inter- est of any particular feature of Democrati policy,butrather for the purpose of arousin, the interest and enthusiasm of Democrats generally in an endeavor to effect a stronger organization of the party, that it may be the better prepared for the cam- paign next year. No announcement of the projected tour has yet been made in the East, nor is the itinerary definitely arranged, but the letter to Mr. Lane comes | from a source which furnishes assurance that it will be undertaken. The party will speak in San Francisco under the auspices | of the various Democratic organizations and will visit several other cities of the State. | Mr. Lane has an excellent standing | | among Eastern party leaders, and has | been for some years a counselor of the Washington State Democracy whose | opinions were much vaiued. He has only recently returned to California after a long | absence, and why he should have been selected to receive the first apprisal of a | move which means so much to the De- | mocracy is a matter that is causing many | oi the faithful, who have been accustomed to being among the first to receive such at- tentions in the past, to scratch their heads | and think. Among some of the latter it | seems to be the opinion that the heads of the party in the East will make an effort to get out of the old rut and place the Cali- | fornia end of the National campaign in | ew hands. This phase of the situation will cause the old line Democrats of the State to await further developements in | the matter and the arrival of the Eastern | celebrities with a great deal of interest. ————— Saturnine is an astrological term.

There was some fault found with Piggott's riding of Bloomsbury. The latter horse but recently won & maiden race, and as Lucrezia Bo:gia looked to be handled with kid gloves by the handicepper on her recent periormances, the colt was undoubtedly beaten bya better horse at the weights, Crawford, winner of the fifth re be sold fo 100, was ‘“boosted”” maker B Beverly, who had him on the list. Charles Boots, owner of Bobolink, the second horse, return his portion of the run-up money to the owner of Crawford. Carniel’s run was little short of remarkable, and only demonstrates what a very fast horse the chestnut sulker is when he takes a notion torun. He got about fiity yards the worst of the start, but as the field took the first hurdle he was well up in front. That mile work-out of his in 1:39)5at Sacramento some months ago was evidently no myth The brown horse Del Norte and Jockey Piggott carried off the honors yesterday. The son of imp. Greenback won the mile and a quarter handicap in the fast time of 12:073{, and on returning to the stand both | horse and rider were the recipient of au ovation. Del Norte was second choice in the betting, the bookmakers laying as good as 3 to 1 inst him at post time. Mr. Jingle had first call in the betting, backed from 3 to 2 to 1. Thornhill pressed Del | Norte hard for second-choice honors, and the other starters, Arnette, Claudius and | Flirtiila, did not lack support. | Joneson Arnette again tried runaway tactics, and as she turned into the stretch | for home with a gap of fully three lengths separating her and Del Norte, who had moved up from fourth position, it looked as though _they might prove successful, | The merry clip bad told on her, however, | and when Piggott let out a link on Del Norte, the brown horse passed her like a shot, and stalling off the rush of Mr. Jingle on which Weber now made his run, won cleverly by a length and a | half. Thornhill took third place in a drive. | It was a very popular victory and owner Mat Storn was congratulated on all sides. | Bloomsbury, who recently graduated from the maiden class, was the “hot one” |in the two-year®ld bandicap, going to the post a to 1 favorite. He looked very much in evidence at one stage of the journey, but succumbed at the end to Lucrezia Borgia, formerly the Ledette | filly, second choice in the betting, who won rather handily by a length, running the | five and a half furlongs 1 1:081. Joe K was a fair third, with the others beaten off. Charles A came out in the opening race of the day, a five and a half furlong dash, | after a long rest, and thetalent wished he had prolonged his vacation at the conclu- | sion of the race. _The ‘‘black wonder” was a hot 13 to 10 choice, and he finished such | a bad third that a telescope Wwas necessary In a breath-suspending | finish Hyman, the third choice, nosed out P, who had made | to place him. | the second choice, Abi all of the running. 0ld Tim Murphy struck a rare soft_spot in the second race at five furlongs. There | was *‘nothing in it,”” and the roan sprinter, a 2tobchance, shook them off like so many fleas and won galloping from Nervosa, with Greenback Jr. 1n third place. The fifth race on the card, a cheap mile | selling dash, contained a number of un- & | known quantities, and betting on the race was_brisk. Little Bob certainly looked | the best of the lot, and he ruled a slight | favorite, going to the post with threes | about him. OF the rest Bobolink, Rose | Clark, Crawiord and Miss Ruth received § the bulk of the support. | Bobolink led the greater part of the jour- | ney until a hundred yards from the wire, | when Crawford came on and through Piggott’s superior riding won by a head. Bellringer was a good third, |, Themile and a half hurdle race was taken by Carmel, who went to the post at | 4to 1 and ran a wonderful race, after get- | ting -off away behind his field when the flag fell. A view of the entire race could not be obtained on account of the fog, but as the horses swung into the stretch Car- mel was leading,and he won bhandily in the excellent time of 2:48. The favorite, Mes- tor, was second, six lengths in front of The Lark. MULHOLLAND. SUMMARY.

Lewis, One of the “Days of Yorty-Nine,” Died in This City Yesterday. Henry M. Lewis, an old resident of this City since May 6, 1849, died yesterday noon | at 653 Clay street of fatty degeneration of the heart. " He left New Orleans for the Pacific Coast in the latter part of 48 and after a perilous trip across the isthmus reached Panama. Here he fell in with Captain A. W.von Schmidt, who, like himself, was bouna for the mew FEldorado. They, with about forty others, purchased an old schooner named the nofphin and put to sea. Meet- ing with light winds, the voyage was lengthened out until theirgfood was gone, starvation stared them in the face. In their extremity they cast lots to see who | would offer himself a meal for his perish- | ing shipmates. Before the sacrifice was made, however, another vessel picked them up and supplying them with provisions, they were enabled to make Mazatlan. There they left and their old worn-out craft and took passage | in the bark Matilda, reaching San Fran- cisco without any more mishaps. Lewis, who was a practical jeweler lo- | cated at the place where his body now | and _ worl at his trade. He an industrious, peaceable citizen, was THE IMPROVED BICY]ILE.I Architect O’Connor Thinks He Has Overcome All the Difficulties. FRICTION NEARLY DESTROYED. The New Machine Sald to Be Capa- ble of Climbing the Steepest Hill With Ease. Bicycles in bewildering variety are con- tinually appearing on the market these days. There are over 300 makes of cycles, differing only in style, cost and name. Fully 90 per cent of thése machines use the chain and sprocket as a means of transmitting the applied power, but owing to the limited leverage and enormous fric- tion it has hitherto been impossible to utilize more than 30 per cent of this force. P. J. 0’Connor claims to have overcome all these difficulties in a bicycle which he has just had patented. He has been ex- perimenting in this direction for several months, and has at last perfected a ma- chine that does away with sprocket-wheels and chains, makes hill-climbing an easy matter and attains a rate of speed that is only limited to the exertion of the rider. Instead of sprocket-wheels and chain Mr. 0’Connor employs a system of cogs, which destroys all friction except at one point of The force is applied by means of contact. 4 L a swinging lever, with an adjustable foot- rest, which equally distributes the exertion that must be applied by the rider. The inventor thus describes his cycle: The accompanying diagram represents my idea for a bicycle that will give the best re- cults for the power employed. In my machine 1 propose to substitute & swinging lever for the chain and sprocket wheel of the bicycle | now used. The rise and fall of the lever does not exceed 10 inches, though if %ren! speed is desired this can be given a fall of 11}4 inches. The ankle of the rider E“ses through a flat segment of a circle 20 inches, and it gives as a result a stroke of nine-sixteenths of the diam- eter of the driving wheel. This result eannot be accomplished by a stiff leyer, fo- the reason thatits motion does not give half a revolution, and consequently it does not pass the dead center. A stiff lever also requires the momen- tum of the wheel to carry it around. The foot of the rider rests upon a pivoted plate made to the shape of the foot, so that at the commencement of the motion the full leverage or power is present and so continues for three-fifths of the down stroke. The other two-fifths, which is the full depth, is four inches less. The levers work in double slots to prevent eide action, so that there is an alter- nate rise and fall, thus giving them full play and receiving the entire weight of the body. My driving levers have & rise and fall of twenty inches, while by the present chain bk’f'cle the rider’s foot’ travels from thirty- eight to forty-two inches. The levers being nearly double the length of the present pedal cranks, 1 am able to obtaiy about 80 per cent of the applied power, and consequently & higher rate of speed. Mr. O’Connor has exhibited his model to a number of bicycle experts, and they are of the opinion that he has solved the problem of securing the greatest amount of force from the power employed. The ARCHITEOT O’CONNOR’S NEW BICYCLE. and as a member of the Vigilance Commit- tee took par® in the stirring scenes of that early day. His age at the time of his death was about 70 years, and he was a native of Tvswich, England. He will be buried from Pioneer Hall to-morrow at 1 o'clock the funeral being conducted by the Society of California Pioneers and Exempt Fire- men, of which he was a member. He leavesa widow and daughter. A. N. TOWNE'S SUCCESSOR. No One Has Been Appointed Either to Fill His Place or Temporarily Assume His Dutfes. J. A. Fillmore, general superintendent of the Southern Pacific Company, denied yes- terday that he had been appointed gen- eral manager of that corporation as a suc- cessor to Mr. Towne. In fact he had not been directed to even temporarily assume the duties of the office recently made va- cant by Towne’s death. “I have heard nothing about my ap- pointment to succeed Mr. Towne,” he said. “I know nothing about it—except that I have not succeeded him and am not general manager.” ? H. E. Huntington said that no general manager had been selected, much Jess ap- pointed, and the whole matter remained® exactly as it was on the day that Mr: Towne died. It was doubtful whether there would be any successor, and cer- tainly there would be none until next month. The extraordinary narrative in a morn- ing paper stating in the same column that Mr. Fillmore “*has been chosen to fill the vacancy in the Southern Pacific Company caused by the death of A.N.Towne” and Imore is recognized by the leaders here he only logical candidate on the coast,”’ lacked one essential—truth. HOLDEN'S NEW THEATER. Will Be Erected at Howard and Sixth Streets. E.J. Holden, manager of the Grove- street Theater, secured a lease yesterday of a lot100 by 160 feet at the corner of Howard and Sixth streets for the purpose of erectinf a new theater. The building will be of brick and will have a seating capacity of 2800, and W Gost $50: 0. Mr. Holden ex- pects to begin work on the new building in about two weeks, and hopes to have the theater ready for open- ing the middle of Se%'l&m ber. n the new house Mr. Holden will run a stock company at popular prices, the same as in the Grove-street, and will play stars. He promises some excellent attractions, e R PR R Found In the Ocean. .

United States Government has its experts at work endeavoring to overcome the force lost by friction, but so far they have thought of nothing better than the chain and sorocket wheel.

Folsom-Street Property-Owners Will Continue the Agitation. The Folsom-street property-owners and others intercsted in the paving of this thoroughfare with bitumen from Nine- teenth street to the water front, are not disposed to give up the fight, and a general move is on foot.among the several improvement clubs for renewed agitation in the matter, with the possibi- lity of a mass-meeting at Metropolitan Hall in the near future. Dr. T. A. Rottanzi, president of the South Side Improvement Club, says that his organization is in the fight to stay. A. B. Maguire and other leaders in the move- ment express like sentiments.
