THE SAN FREANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1895. THE MINERS' BIG FIGHT, Funds Are Needed to Enable | the Association to Carry It Cn. PECULIAR LAND PRACTICES | Protests Against the Raliroad Grabs Go to Secretary Smith on Appeal. When the executive committee of the California Miners’ Association holds its next meeting, which will be at the Palace Hotel Friday evening, the question of | raising funds, it is hoped, will begin to as- sume a more encouraging aspect. At the last meeting of the committee | some pretty plainly worded resolutions | were adopted, criticizing the cc s- | sociations for their lack of fina port.

The most )f those promises now apparent is ts have been issued to the rail: s for lands which have bee of protest by the association all protestants are now given f'the particular action of the Land rtment in their cases, whether the same ot not—something quite contrary ctice previous to the President’s es of the Land Department have been rary, and in their practical worki more favorable to the railroad co es than to the miners, in t respect that at all lands company, upon_its filing a 1 tions embracing such lands, without p tion or notice to those having possessory They also provide that in verse claims. case of lands lying inside such radius t d be deemed agricuitural ar ented railroad_companies unie ty days’ period of nmewspaper p est or protest proceedings be in e Jocal land office to prove the luable for mineral than agricultur J08es P Sf course there 1s no protection in_this prac- tice against large areasof the public domain falling into the hands of the corporations, not- withstanding they were expressly excluded by acts of Congress from their grants. One of the most objectionable features of these rules is the fact that the determination | of the charscter of these lands is largely left %o the hearsay affidavits of the railroad com- Jany’s 1and agents, who are not called upon to {m\'b any knowledge of the facts embraced in such afidavits, nor to have any belief on their | part as to the statements contained. : The practice of the Lend Department in shifting the responsibility of the classification | of these lands on to the railroad company is | purely illegal, and serves to divest the Govern- ueit of its title to valuable mineral deposits. 1f this method is continued it will involve 7,000,000 acres of land in this State alone, taking the estimate of the Land Department itself, and wiil prevent the exploitatiogsof this land by the prospector and miner, and thereby Qiminish the chances of discovering new and rich mines. S u see the question does not affect the | miner alope. It is of vital concern to the whole people of the State, for the more miners are restricted the less chanceis there of discov- ering new mines, and thus the possible produe- tion of precious metals is kept down. The interests of the entire State are at stake. The gold belt of California embraces about 17,000 square miles. The 200,000 acres patented to the railroad | mighty form of Mount Shasta as it in the far distance through the little valley | This protest was dismissed by the Com- missioner on the ground that “it is not be- lieved that the instructions of July 9, 1894, provided for hearings where large number of tracts, as in this case, were alleged 1o be mineral land,” and *“‘while the mineral aflidavit of the petitioner fully meets the non-mineral affidavit of the tlie company’s agent filed with the list of selections, vet in view of the fact that publication has been regularly madé and no cific pro- test filed, the protest herein, in its present form, is not considered sufficient to war- rant an order for a hearing as prayed for.” In summing up his argument to Secre- tary Smith on behalf of the association Mr. Rieketts contends: 1. That the rules and regulations of July 9, 1894, are free from ambiguity in so far as they | concern the duties of the Commissioner of the General Land Oftice, and therefore are not sub- ject to construction by him. 2. That the ordering of & hearing, being of the essence of the thing to be done, is man- datory and not directory. _ 3. That the “uniform practice of the office” in other cases has no controlling effect in the matter of ordering or denying a hearing herein, as it is governed by special rules. Further, that the rules and regulations Ol] July 9, 1894, are void in that: 1. They conflict with the sets of Congress, excluding the mineral lands from railroad grants, and enlarge and extend such grants by arbitrarily determining the character of the lands selected by a railroad company lying without a radius of six miles from any mineral entry, claim or location, to be agricultural land, notwithstanding such lands may in fact be mineral lands. 2. They arbitrarily determine the character s lying within a radius of six miles from any mineral entry, claim or location which are not made the subject of & contest, or a protest, or concerning which no sugges- | tion 1s made, information given or report had 85 to their mineral character. 3. They provide a mode of proceeding to divest the Government of investigation and consideration which the law and public interest requires. KEITH PAINTS CRAGS. Artist Returns With a Load of Studies of Castle Crags and Shasta. William Keith is one of the first of the noted San Francisco artists who has gone afield during the summer to return with ketchy spoils of nature’s forms and hues. Yesterday he drove several weeks’ dusi from the easels in his studio and went right to w outlining on canvas the seen The its title without the | company during the two past months were either of lists long pending or of which the committee had obtained no information, or which were approved without publication hav- ing been made. The association is informed that these patents were not directly involved Inany of iis proceedings. The 600,000 acres embraced in the protests of the association are still in statu quo. Ten protests have been made by the as- sociation, the name of Edward H. Benja- min being used, and such as have been dismissed by the Commissioner of the General Land Office are now before the De- partment of the Interior on appeal. Mr. Ricketts, who is the attorney for'the asso- ciation, sent on his brief to Washington a few days ago in the appeal of Mr. Benja- min from the Commissioner’s disposition test against the Central Pacific 338 acres of land in the Sacra- CHICAGO BUYERS DEFIANT A Plain Statement That They Want California Fruits Cheap. HATCH SAYS THE FIGHT IS ON. Eastern Dealers Hold Closed Auc- tions In Spite of the Wishes of the Producers. A.T. Hatch, who is one of the largest fruit-growers in California and the most active in the fight against closed auctions in Eastern cities, declares that the fight for open bidding for California fruit ship- ments is still on, and that while those who oppose closed auctions are taking a we’ll- fight-it-out-on-this-line-if - it-takes-all-sum- mer course, they will eventually win. Said Mr. Hatch yesterday: The only thing left to do is to stick to- gether and gain converts to our way of think- ing b very possible means.

At Coloma, El Dorado County, | the other day he held an open debate with Russ Stevens, who is an advocate of closed | auctions, and 'a vote was taken at the end of the talk. Stevens only got three votes out of twenty-eight cast. These Eastern concerns that thrive and grow | fat at the expense of the California fruit-pro- ducers have been showing their hands too plainly lately and are unconseiously working against themselves. Here is a letter that car- ries out what I have always said about them. EpGeoMB COMPANY. General Commission } and Brokerage, 53 River st., Chicago, July 24. 1895, The fight is on. The wholesale frut-deaiers of Chicago are determined upon a closed auction. The shippers of sruit are determined upon an open suction. The closed auction opened their business this morning in the Illinois Central sheds. The open auction will conduct its business as formerly in the Northwestern. Who isright?

Keith hasstudied them brush in hand as the clear mornings light them and as evening softens them with deepening shadows which finally leave them a towering silhouette against a wes ern sky, while bestowing a bluish black- ness on what the rising sun made brown and gray and gleaming. Keith’s studies of the Crags are all made from a point below the tavern, across the Sacramento River, and the picturesquely tumbling stream flows through the fore- grounds. Keith’s Mount Shastas will be painted | distance of twenty or thirty miles. He has preferred the points of view at Castle Crags to that about Sisson. This artist wasted no time in trout or ham- mocks. He worked like a beaver through long hours every day. Two studies a day was his rate of work, and thirty-two color sketches made about Castle Crags and elsewhere are among the results. DR. MACKENZIE'S LECTURE Greeted by a Full House at the Young Men’s Christian Association. Dr. Robert J. Macenzie delivered the first of his series of four lectures on “The Acts of the Apostles” last night in the . M ouilding. The auditorium well filied. Tne doctor introduced his subject saying he desired his hearers to understand how he stood. He spoke not as a Presbyterian, as one interpreting the word of Go The Acts of the Apostles” were wrongly named; the author designated them as a treat This book soon came to be called by the church the great ‘Praxis,”’ mean- ‘‘practice.”” Men and women were rgely mentioned in this book, but the les rarely—in fact, in but_two places. book was but the continuation of the Gospels.

Mrs. Ewen, a waitress in the Coliseum dive on Kearny street, was taken to the Receiving Hospital vesterday morning to have a lacer- ated wound in her scalp dressed. She said when she went to her home, 432 Green street, at an early hour yesterday morning and en- tezed her bedroom she was attacked by & man, who struck her over the head with some in- strument and robbed her of a pursz containing $1 instrument was found in her room, | 8nd proved to be two ink bottles tied up in a stocking. The police are working on the case. e To Remove the Evil Spirit. The atmosphere in Chinatown was heavily laden with the scent of burning punks and tinsel paper last night, and the reason assigned for this demonstration was that the priests of the Wong Cong Wah josshouse were confident that an evil spirit was in hiding in some of the dark recesses of their portion of the City and that the spirit was causing all the trouble.

HENLEY’S CELERY, BEEF 4nb IRON Will Cure these Disea -AND-Bring all these Bleulng: Warfare Will Again Be Waged at the | First Congregational Church Prayer Meeting. A large number of the anti-Brown forces assembled at the home of Mrs. Frank J. French last evening to further outline their plans of campaign. There will be a battle at the First Congregational Church | this evening between the supporters of | Meyer Strauss and those who ¥avor Dr. | Brown’s course in expelling him from the | church. | "'Since the meeting held at Mrs. French’s | home on Saturday evening the adherents of Mr. Strauss have been circulating a pe- tition to which a hundred signatures have | been secured protesting against Strauss’ expulsion. A motion will be made that the refer- ence to Mr. Strauss’ expulsion be expunged from the records, and it will be defended on the ground that the action which led to the record is illegal. As at the previous meeting, Dr. Mec- Donald was the presiding officer. Miss Myrtle Simpson was present and explained that when she consented to giving Mr. Strauss’ letter containing the alleged abuse for publication, she understood that his permission would be asked before the letter was published, and she was sure he would never give it. OF INTEREST TO LABOR. Cigar-Makers to Hold Street Meetings. Wageworkers Complain of Chi- nese Being Employed. The Cigar-makers’ Union decided last night to start holding street meetings next Saturday evening toagitate for the patron- age of home-made cigars. There will be three meetings that night, the first to be at the corner of Market and Third streets; that to be followed by oneat Market and Fifth streets, and the last one to be at Market street and Golden Gate avenue. The idea of having a transparency wagon kept in the streets all the time was dis- cussed, but action was deferred until the next regular mesting. President T. F. Burns says the canvass of the various labor organizations is meeting with promises of all to co-operate with the cigar-makers in their movement. At the meeting of the Wageworkers’ Union at 1159 Market street, last night, complaint was made about the employ- ment of Chinese by Code, Eifelt & Co. in their cannery. It was said there were plenty of idle white men to be obtained at | reasonable wages. The matter is to be brought to the attention of the Manufac- turers’ Association by President Walter Joyce. | SEEThE s TURNED ON THE GAS. An Unknown Man Found Uncons in a Lodging-House. A well-dressed man called at 203 Powell street about 10 o’clock Monday night and engaged a room. Yesterday morning about 8 o’clock a strong smell of gas was dis- covered coming from his room. The door was locked. but it was forced open, and the stranger was found unconscious in bed with the gas turned on full. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital, and it is not expected that he will recover. There was nothing in the pockets of the man’s clothing to give a clew to his iden- tity. No one at the house had secn him before Monday night. The police are in- vestigating the case. Detective Ross Whittaker and Sergeant Moffitt last night searched the man’s clothing carefully and in an inside pocket | of his vest found a receipt in the name of William Gregory, dated May 3, for dues in Eureka Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of San Francisco. There was also a letter from bis daughter Sophia, dated March 21, from Tacoma, Wash., and another to King & Ward of the International Hotel, to the effect that Gregory was a good man to get assengers for the steamers of the Pacific oast Steamship Company. The police are satisfied it is a case of at- tempted suicide, e The Origin of Billiards. In a letter dated 1750, which has been resented to the Bibliotheque Nationale in gnris. a highly ingenious account is given of the origin of billiards. The writer de- clares that billiards were invented in England about the middle of the sixteenth century by a pawnbroker named Bill Kew. This man, it is alleged, used in his leisure moments to play on his counter with the three brass balls which he hung up as a sign. For a cue he had a yard measure, whence the term Bill-yard, or Bill's yard, corrupted into biliia © This etymology will hardly satisfy Mr. Skeat, but it at least curious, as showing to what length the speculative etymologist is apt to go. The most astonishing thing about it, how- ever, is the fact that it is a Frenchman, who might have seen at a glance that bil- liards is merely a corruption of his own word “‘billiard,” from ‘‘bille,” a ball, the | But I can say that we should all admire | ious | termination ‘‘ard” being perfectly regu- lar and natural in the comgosmon of a word intended to designate the table upon which the balls are used.—London 'I{Ie- graph. MR. ROBERT3ON'S POEM. Read by the Author Before the Cali- tornia Academy of Bciences. At the meeting of the California Acad- emy of Sciences Monday evening Louis A. Robertson read an original poem entitled “Evolution,” which was highly praised and warmly applauded. The theme of the verses is as broad as the solar system itself and the meter is stirring and musical. Thoulgh of considerable length the poem is well worth publishing in its entirety. EVOLUTION. Mystical dream of creation, Problem of dark evolution, Tell us the world’s early story, Life’s hidden secret unfold; Vain is each wild speculation, Groping in gloom for solution, ‘Enough that from darkness sprang glory, Sunrise in crimson and gold. FOR HOME INDUSTRIES tion May Soon Be Incor- porated. FOR THE COAST'S DEVELOPMENT Greatly Interested In the Trans- mission of Electric Power From Clear Lake. The board of directors of the Manufac- turers’ and Producers’ Association met last evening and discussed many matters of interest to those interested in the patronage of home industries. A letter from F. W. Flint, R. H. Herron and John Burns of the Los Angeles Oil Exchange was read requesting the association to in- terest itself in putting Los Angeles oil on the San Francisco market as a fuel. The letter said that the oil is a safe and eco- nomical fuel; thatit burns well and that there is plenty of it already in barrels and an unlimited supply underground. The letter was referred to the fuel committee with a view of learning the relative merits of this oil and other fuels. The secretary was directed to ascertain from the proper authorities the law upon the storage of oil in this City. Julian Sonntag, the chairman, called the attention of the board to an article pub- lished in yesterday's CALL relative to the Clear Lake Electric Company’s scheme to transmit electric power from a large power plant near the lake to San Francisco for power and lighting purposes. He said he was informed that local capitalists are backing the undertaking and that the company proposed to reduce the cost of horsepower in this City from $24 to $4 per horsepower per twenty-four hours. he matter of power was of the greatestinterest to the manufacturers of this City, where the cost thereof is so expensive. The company’s proposition_as outlined in THE CaLwL should be looked into, as the prom- ised reduction will greatly affect the man- ufacturing interests of San Francisco. Upon Mr. Sonntae's suggestion the fuel committee was instructed to obtain de- tailed information concerning the under- taking. A committee consisting of Messrs. Tevis, Currier and Spinole was appointed to meet the directors of the State Board of Trade with a view of co-operating in mak- ing the California exhibit at Atlanta a suc- cess.

Blind to the light In the distance, Deat to the song in the gale. me time ago a committee was ap- goinled to secure information as to the est way of proceeding in the matter of in- corporating the association and reducing the board of directors from fifteen to eleven. Thecommittee reported that they were advised that more can be accom- plished by incorporating. The report con- cluded by saying: Your committee was further advised that the association in incorporating must incor- porate with a capital stock, and that stock may be unlimited, and that one share may be issued to each member of the association. Payment of the same may be at a certain rate per year in lieu of dues, and that the present association may transfer its assets to the in- corporate association in consideration of the issuance to each member of the present associ- ation one share of stock. A letter was received from the Coast Carriage and Wagon Company of Cor- vallis, Or., inquiring what inducements can be offered in this locality if the plant is moved to this part of the State. Better banking and shipping facilities are wanted than can be had in Oregon. Between 100 and 200 men are constantly employed. The desired information will be given. Chairman Sonntag xe{mrled that the legislation committee will meet the State Prison Directors on the 10th inst. and dis- cuss the complaint and protest of the cotton-mills company of Oakland against the manufacture of other than jute bags by convict labor. TO FIGHT AT COLMA. Billy Gallagher and Charley Turner of Stockton Were Signed Last Evening. The Colma Athletic Club managers have signed Charley Turner, the colored cham- pion middle-weight pugilist of Stockton, to fight Billy Gallagher on the evening of the 29th inst. The pugilists must weigh in at 154 pounds at 3 p. M. on "the evening of the contest. Gallagher is now on his journey from New York to this coast, after having easily disposed of a fighter named Harmon a few evenings ago at the Manhattan Athletic Club of New York. The “Black Pearl’” wiil train Turner, and George Green will look after Gal- lagher’s interests upon the arrival of the latter. It was stated last evening that Sharkey, the champion heavy-weight pugilist of the English and American navies, refused to meet Joe McAuliffe after he had “‘sized up”’ the big fellow. Sharkey’s friends state, however, that their champion has never shown the white feather and that it is not by any means likely he will retreat from a meeting with McAuliffe after hav- ing announced that of all men the man he would prefer to fight was the Mission Giant.
