DELVING FOR HIDDEN WEALTH. A Vast Area That Supplies Its Por- tlon to the Mints of Uncle Sam. JACKSON, CaL., Aug. 21.—The mother. lode in and about Jackson, the county peat of Amador, is from one to five miles wide, tnough the Government describes it as having a width of forty feet. It con- tains two very prominent fissures, with many smaller ones intervening. Situated upon this lode are numerous properties which are destined ere long to become an important factor in the gold-mining in- dustry of the State. Taking the form almast of two elograms, starting with nedy and Ziela, run- ning for miles are claims within this range destined to become of prominence. The Ziela is crushing 140 tons a day and uses sixteen concentrators. The Kenedy i g 100 tons a day and using four concentrators. George G.

M, ~Agricultural 30, Gwin month for slimes, and with his patented process of a sulphuret plant is reaping a ;good harvest from the tailings after travel- ing through the twenty-four concentrators. The properties, following in lineal descent from the two parent-like stems, are enum- erated in the accompanying diagram. The Anita Company, composed mostly of Kenedy people, is working in these new grounds, and in their abiding faith began sinking a prospect shaft. A few days ago at a depth of less than 200 feet they struck very good ore, not low grade by any means. Messrs. L. F. Riechling and J. Taylor of San Francisco, and J. F. Parks, superintendent of the Kenedy, interested in the Anita, are greatly encouraged over the new find. The Oneida is owned by the Seligmans of New York; but the property lies idle, though it is known to possess high-grade ore. The Argonaut, adjoining the Kenedy, is s new plant just being opened. I_t pas provably the finest equipment of hoisting works in the State. Mr. Detert, superin- tendent of the Ziela, is president of this company. 'Thp:Myuldoon, situated in a southerly di- rection from the Argonaut, has two shafts, and at a depth of 100 feet high-grade ore similar to that of the Kenedy was found in Jarge quantities. There are twenty tons of ore on the dump. This property isopen to investigation. It comprises sixty-four acres. The Hoffman, a south extension of the Argonaut, is reopened. The Alma, encouraged by the success of the Anifa, is running crosscuts east and west. [ The Mammoth is the property of Sen- ator.J. P. Jones, W. A. Neville and Flem- ing Brothers of Detroit. These parties own the Moore mine also. Both are idle through some misunderstanding. They * contain very rich deposits of arsenical ore, and out of the Mammoth alone $300,000 were taken in less than eight months. The St. Julian, Sargent and Farrell, “Agricultural | bordering off the-’Mokulumne River, are of the same arsenical -ore formation. None of these properties have reached river depth, but in early days, though no great depth had been attained. the ore was a rich-paying deposit. The supposi- tion among those who understand these formetions is that the Gwin mine unites the same formation of ledge as the mother lode, which sometimes runs in straight lines ana again deviates into a wave-like movement. The general belief is that when depth 1s reached these properties will prove very lucrative. This arsenical ore is found also on the west ledges of the mother lode. Ex-Congressman Caminetti is interested in these properties. The Bellwether, within the townsite, has 2700 linear feet of ground. It has five shafts. Itisonly 2000 feet from the Ziela. Ata depth of 100 to 180 feet the ledge measures from forty to seventy-five feet. The croppings for 2000 feet show ore that averages §1 50. The property belongs to 8. W. Wright and is bonded for a short period to Chicago parties. The Brown & Thomas, patent apphed for, has two east and west ledges, which at 70 feet measure 7 feet, and are expected to meet at a depth of 300 feet. There are 100 tons on the dump that will average $8 per ton. Late assays of the sulphurets show nearly $2000 per ton. The Massa, a north extension of the Bellwether and Australian, supposed to be the same ledge as the Ziela, will be opened by San Francisco people within the next twenty days. The Vulture and McNamara are owned by Newman Brothers. A tunnel of 155 feet is part of the work done. Eastern people are investigating this, and if pend- ing negotiations fail this, like many other properties named in this article, is for sale. The Mineral Point and Valparaiso, ad- joining the Mammoth, has a 1500-foot tunnel and a Huntington mill. A cave in the tunnel caused cessation of work. The property belongs to Ginnochio Bros. The Good Hope, owned by the Good Hope Mining Company (incorporated), has a shaft 125 feet deep. Though idle for twenty-five years, it is how being pumped, preparatory to developing and placing it upon the market. The Amador Queen No. 1 is erecting large hoisting works and will operate the plant quite extensively. This mine, though in litigation between English and Ameri- can companies, is being combined with the Amador Queen No. 2, and the Amador gold mine, and all are to be known as the Amadeor gold fields, under an English syn- dicate. In the accompanying diagram, a string of properties is presented that promisea rich future to Amador County and the State of California. Being, as they no doubt are, a continuation of the Kenedy and Ziela, the importance of this outflow presents its own merits, yet capital must come to the rescue. Much outside interest is being awakened in this locality. The search for gold prop- erties is pointing in this direction, and in- vestments will naturally follow. Hon. Paul M. Austin, Mayor of San Jose, was in town last weck, with a view to establishing a bank in Jackson. SIDEWALK OBSTRUCTIONS, The Grand Jury Sends a Com- munication to the Chief of Police. Steps to Be Taken at Once to Insist Upon the Ordinance Being Obeyed. Chief Crowley has received the following communication from the Grand Jury, signed by Oliver Eldridge, foreman, and J. J. Groom, secretary : At the request of the Grand Jury, which is now in session, the Board of Supervisors at its meeting on August 5 inst. revoked all permits heretofore granted by any Board of Supervisors to maintain any bulletin board, sign, advertis- ing post, etc., either on or projecting over the sidewalk or street; and also all advertising privileges of whatsoever kind, character or description which obstruct in any yaanner the sidewalks or streets. Under the same resolu- tion the Chief of Police is requested to aid in the enforcement of this order of the board. We desire to call your attention to this order of the Board of Supervisors and to request the strict enforcement of the same at once without fear or favor. It is surprising to this Grand Jury, like to any observing citizen or vi the wanton manner in which the sidewa this City are blockaded be’ signs of v kinds, open doors of sidewalk elevators, empty cas mall buildings, unused wooden hitch- ing-posts, fruit and bootblack stands, and by goods not in transitu, which, instead of being placed in warehouses, are piled up for months and even vears on such sidewalks to the great inconvenience of the ople. The sidewalks are public property and any attempt to &ppro- priate the same to private use should be re- sisted. San Francisco is no longer a provincial city, and in the exercise of your duties to clear the sidewalks of obstructions you will receive the moral support of all good "citizens who de- sire to see this City beautified and made more attractive. Please acknowledge the receipt of this com- munication and inform this Grand Jury when yon will proceed to enforce the law, as it now stands, pertaining to the matter above re- ferred to. Chief Crowlev said yesterday that he would enforce the law and would detail an officer specially for that purpose until the sidewalks were cleared of all obstruc- tions. He will print about 2000 circulars containing the ordinance, the resolution of the Board of Supervisors and the letter from the Grand Jury, which will be dis- tributed among those interested. If the circular has no effect in having the ob- structions removed, then those violating the ordinance will be arrested. “I think,” said the Chief, ‘that the bul- letin boards outside the offices of the news- Enpers and outside of the theaters should e excepted from the order, and I will not remove them unless, of course, I am com- pelled to do so.” 5 MR. WOODWARD'S DEFENSE. The OCapitalist Answers His Charges and Files a Cross- Complaint. Frank G. Woodward, the. capitalist, filed an answer yesterday in the divorce proceed- ing begun by his wife, Mrs. Melinde Wood- ward. The general allegations of cruelty are denied and a cross-complaint is pre- sented. In his cross-complaint, Mr. Woodward declares that his wife has at times called him vile names, screamed as if some one was trying to murder her, accused him of robbing her and declared he ought to be in San Quentin. She disturbed the whole neighborhood. On July 3, 1895, at their home, 2211 Webster street, she broke down a door with a poker and screamed that he was trying to murder her. : Last June, at Saratoga Springs, he says, she took a candle and chased him aroun the room for an hour, threatening to burn his chin whiskers off. At Gilroy Springs in 1893 he tried to quiet and calm herin bed onceand she screamed until the guests of the hotel came running in and found his face scratched and covered with blood. He declares that the lot on Webster street was once her separate estate, but is no longer. The community property consists of a lot on Turk street, near Taylor, a lot in 8an Diego, household furniture, about $6000 worth of personal property ana a 13,500 mortgage in her name. In Septem- Zor, 1893, he took a mortgage on a lot at Oak and Buchanan streets, owned by William 7. Wenzell, for §13,500. It was agreed that it should stand in her name, but the husband claims a community interest. Wife’s THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, The Talent Suffered Some Se~ vere Reverses at the Track Yesterday. THE FAVORITES ALL BEATEN. Road Runner Finished In Front of a Fast Bunch of Sprinters In . a Handicap. The Flambeau youngster, Benham, was a strongly backed second choice in the two-year- old handicap, but ran disappointingly. He showed speed at the beginning, but fizzled out badly at the end. 01d Toano was well played in the third race, butgotso much the worst of the decidedly ragged start that butlittle line could be had of his present capabilities. Little Pete was a member of the delegation that were in on the ‘shoo” in the third race. He had several commissioners placing his coin on Model. If the race was to have been a 4‘shoo-in” for Model, there must have been one Or two owners that were not in on the deal. Sport MeAllister showed himself to be a sprinter above the ordinary. He ran the five furlongs under restraint in 1:01% and could undoubtedly have bettered that time a fall second. His former owner clafmed the Sport capable of running the distance in a minute flat, and it is just possible than he can. Some time ago Owner Mat Storn remarked that when Easel became accustomed to the colors she would show her heels to some of the youngsters that were kicking Qust in her face at that time, and yesterday the speedy daughter of Ben Ali fulfilled the prophecy. She reeled off the first three-eighths of & mile in 35 seconds. Mat bids fair to again have as good & stable of bread-winners as he did some years ago when he “went down the line” in Montana. In the string of Zeke Abrahams isa young- ster by St. Savior, dam Glen Queen, that is sure to be heard of when he sports silk. His owner purchased him for a nominal figure at the Geb- hard sale of yearlings, when he looked more like a piece of framework than a horse. Turned out at pasturage he has developed into a racy- looking chap, with clean-cut legs and good shoulders and is pronounced by Wilbur Smith to be a counterpart of that good performer, Zobair, as a two-year-old. Zeke thinks he has a coming stake horse and his opinion is shared by many. Some weeks ago Bookmaker “Billy” Beverly gave Venus, who won a selling race, a “boost,” and her irate owner, Dow Williams, attempted to annihilate the penciler, i for which little pleasantry he was fined $250; considered by all turfmen & very light reprimand, as it would have meant ruling off on any other reputable racecourse in America. When Sport McAllister, who is now owned by Williams, won yesterday, the bookmeker went down and bid the horse up | $300 over his selling price of $400, his_owner Tetaining nim with the usual $5 bid. No casu- alities. The bookmakers had a day at the track yesterday. A heavy frost enshrouded | the first choices. Beginning with the Lady Leinster filly, who went to the post a slight favorite over the field in the opening race, the favored ones in the betting suffered de- feat in every race. | ‘When the nine maiden two-year-olds came out to fry conclusions in the opening event at half a mile, the Lady Lienster filly with threes about her ruled a slight | favorite, but second place was the best she could get, for when the flag fell, Piggptt rushed Easel to the front after breaking away last, and the others never got near her. She finished two lengths in front of the favorite with Ollie M a good third, cov- ering the distance in 50 seconds flat. The two-year-old handicap at five and a half furlongs was considered such a good thing for Gratify that 3 to 5 was eagerly sought. He led Grady, whom he beat on Saturday, until well into the stretch, when the Jatter passed him and won easily by a length and a half in 1:08),. Perhaps, quoted at 100 to 1, was third, six lengths away. The wise ones received an awful jolt in the third race, a five-furlong spin. "They backed Model down from 214 10 1 to evens, and they are still wondering how it hap- pened. When the flag sent the nine starters away to a miserable start, Sport McAllister at 18 to 5 in the betting shot to the front and was never headed, winning by a length from Red Dick, who wasa head before Model. In the next race, a five and a half fur- long handicap, the California stable fur- nished another decidedly warm favorite in Realization, who went to the post 7to 5, and he also was beaten. After running second to Red Bird to the stretch, he took the lead, but was unable to stall off Road Runner, on which Piggott.came with a rush, and was beaten out cleverly by a length in 1:08. Silver State was third, but a head away. The winner went to the post 4 to 1. ‘Wheel of Fortune finally had her colors lowered in a seven-furlong handicap, after f{oing to the post a 6to 5 choice. Miss uth carried her at a fast clip for three-eighths of a mile, when she shook her off and appeared to have the race well in hand, but when challenged in the stretch by Flirtilla, the well-backed second choice, proved unequal to the occasion and was beaten out handily by half a length in 1:273{.

The Burlingame, Baldwin, and Hobart and other coaches and an number of other rigs and animals wiil belp make the display of fine horseflesh one of the most notable ever seen in Cali- rnia. The Country Club’s sport on the 30th will, as usual, be a grand affair, and the added attraction of polo and racing will draw a larger crowd than ever. — OIPRICO'S TRIAL BEGINS. A Jury Secured and Evidence Will Be . Offered To-Day. The trial of Ferdinand D. Ciprico for is- suing forged Chinese certificates will begin before Judge Morrow in the United States District Court this morning. A jury was secured in shortorder yester- day for the process did not last more than an hour. Carfoil Cook is the attorney who will do his_best to keep Ciprico out of prison, but District Attorney Foote relies on a strong case. Ciprico is charged with “conspiracy against the United States” and *“falsely making certificates of resi- dence,” etc.”Those indicted with him were H. L. Foss, D.J. Sullivan and Max Katz- auer. Foss pleaded guilty some time !(53 and was sentenced to pay a fine of $1 and to be imprisoned for fourteen months. All the other defendantsdemanded and received separate trials. e The Trial of Winthrop. Several additional witnesses were heard in the trial of Oliver W. Winthrop yesterday, but : the evidence was merely what had been pro- duced in the Police Court. Mabel Brown and Hettie Burton told of -eeu}; Winthro] Mrs. Mathews at the cemetery on the day of the poln‘minrfi Captain Lees told of his inter- view with Winthrop. THE FOOTBALL. CAPTAINS. Men Who Will Control the Three Big Teams of the West This Fall. IN A COMPARATIVE SKETCH. Berkeley and Stanford Lose Vete- rans Through Graduation—Re- llance Stronger. §The football season will begin the first of next month. Then the Reliance Ath- letic Club and the University of California teams will put on their padded suits and train for the contests of October and No- vember, and the Stanford men will -be at work a week after college opens, Septem- ber 5. ! The Reliance team, champions of the coast for '94, the Stanford team, inter- collegiate champions of ‘the coast for the last four years, and the University of Cali- and George Smith. Itsnew men are Percy Benson, last year's Berkeley captain, who will play quarter back; Clemans, the old 8tanford half, who will play left half, and A. H. Baker, who played on the Reliance team two years ago. Harrelson, quarter- back for Stanford last year, has graduated, and is engaged in engineering in this City. He has promised to play with the Reliance team if the practice does not interfere with his work. In case he can play he will be Eutkat quarter-back and Benson at full- acK. The Berkeley team has lost Center Pierce, Left Guard Tuft, Left Tackle Hunt ahd %unrxer»back Benson, whose places must be filled. The Stanford team has lost a center, a right tackle, a quarter-back and a fullback, azzard, Downing, Harrelson and Ken- nedy. It will be hard to fill their plates, but in this respect neither university has much advahitage to begin with. FIGHTING THE STEAMERS. The Southern Pacific Rates on Oats From Parts of Oregon Cut in Half. A tariff on oats in carload lots from Ore- gon to Ban Francisco, Oakland wharf, Port Costa and Sacramento was issued yester- day by the Southern Pacific freight depart- ment. It reduced the rate from something like §6 to $3 a ton, with the minimum carload weight of 40,000 pounds. The rea- son for such a wholesale reduction in rates AN\ L. Eddie, Shermar., THIS YEAR’S FOOTBALL CAPTAINS, fornia team, representing the State itself, stand for the three mdst powerful football elevens on this half of the continent. The prospects are that the Reliance Club will have a stronger® eleven than ever before, while the two University teams at first will both be weaker than they were last year, Stanford being a little the heavier loser in veteran players. The three big teams of the West are par- ticularly fortunate this year in having men in command whose personality and ex- ample will go a long way in securing that general morale that counts for much more than greater physical strength and agility without it. George W. McMillan, captain of the Re- liance team, is undoubtedly the best guard that this coast has ever produced. e is large, powerful and active, and a remark- able line-bucker. Lacking only a guarter of an inch of six feet in height, he weighs about 187 pounds. McMillan was born twenty-three years ago in Kingston, Mo., and there he received his early schooling, being graduated from the High School in the summer of 1890. A year later he received the appoint- ment and was admitted to West Point; but in December of that year be was re- tired because of a physical disqualifica- tion caused by an injury which did not prove to be permanent. Later he entered the Kansas City High School, and in April, 1893, was graduated with a class of over a_nundred, of which he was presi- dent. While at Kingston and Kansas City high schools he carried off the champion- ships in sprinting and broad jumping and was always considered a good wrestler and boxer. At the Reliance Club’s field day last fall he made the 100 yards in 10} seconds. In the baseball season of '92 he played catcher and centerfield for the Kingston Acmes, that year the amateur champions of Missouri. McMillan entered Stanforn University in the fall of 93 as a freshman. Beforea month had passed he was on the gridiron field as a novice and developed so rapidly that when the makeup of the varsity was announced there was no surprise when one freshman and only one made the team. McMillan played left guard. Last fe" he was not in’ college, but he played eft guard and tackle for the team he now captains,” Those who saw the Reliance victories over the Berkeley and Stanford varsities, over teams of the Portland, Tacoma and Seattle athletic clubs an over the University of Chicago know that the big guard was the mainstay of the Re- liance line. Since January of this year McMillan has been librarian of the Ala- meda Cpunty Law Library in the Oakland Courthouse. His spare time is spent in reading law, for he hopes to be admitted to the bar during the next year., Guy H. Cochran, captain of the Stanford team, isa veteran football player. He got his first experience in 1892 as left tackle on the eleven. of the Lawrenceville School near Princeton, and was on the team that defeated the Princeton freshmen that vear. After that one year’s tnimniY in Eastern methods he entered Stanford University as a freshman in the fall of ’93 and easily made the varsity and secured his accus- tomed position, which he has filled regu- larly for the last three seasons. Cochran is practically a Los Angeles boy, although he was born in Illinois, As a football player he is not sensational, although the greatest excitement of last Thanksgiving day’s intercollegiate match was occasioned by Cochran’s opportune dash that re- sulted in the only touchdown of the game, a score that broke the tie of two years with the University of California. But Cochran is strong_and reliable and he knows the ame. Heis a trfle larger than McMii- an, for he is exactly six feet in height and weighs 188 pounds. He is 22 years old. Cochran is the ideal of an all-round college man and heavy athlete. . Edward J. Sherman, the Berkeley cap- tain, is 20 years ola, and was born in Oak- land, where he received his preparatory schooling. ‘‘Eddie” Sherman, as he is familiarly called in Berkeley, is a little fellow, for he is but five feet six and three- quarter inches tall, and weighs only 150 unds, bui he is a quick, fearless and s:shing player, and ‘is_always cool and calculating in a game. He, too, is popular with both students and professors. As a student he stands _considerably above the average. At the Oakland High School he was president of -his class, and last year, his sophomore year, he was.president of the big class 01°97. For tne last five years he has played football. In_his first year in the High School he was in the second eleven, but the next two years he was in the regular team; the last year as half- back, although before that he played end, a position he has held for two years on the varsity, having made the team as a freshman. Sherman played in the Reli- ance leam last winter when it defeated the University of Chicago. In_ addition to his long experience he has had the advantage of the coaching of two of Yale's greatest plavers—Hefle flnfier and Gill. The Reliance Club has decided to send its team East about the middle of October. Games will be played with the Denver Athletic Club, the Omaha Athletic Club, the Chicago Athletic Association and_tne University of Chica, and, if possible, wil:fii?h){n{ll Unlvcfll"g;" the University of The Gmgo Athletic Association’s team 'may come to this coast in November, and if it does it wishes to shy & return game with the Reliance and it wants to meet the Berkeley and Palo Alto teams. i The Reliance team will ‘lose only Racine on this one commodity was an unprece- dentedly large crop of oats in Oregon and competition this year by water from Port- land and Yaquina Bay to California. The territory in Oregon that has been given the benefit of a reduced tariff lies between Portland and Eugene City, and includes Oregon City, Salem, Albany and intermediate towns. = From each and every one of the stations in that district a rate of $3 a ton has been given, but it was made to apply only to points around the bay of S8an Francisco, and also to Sacramento City. THE DOG WAS AT FAULT. A Jury Acquits a Bartender of Cruelty to Animals. The case of Paul B. Frohberg, charged with cruelty to animals, was heard before ajury in Judge Conlan’s court Tuesday afternoon. Frohberg is a bartender in the saloon, 110 Powell street. On the night of August 4 J. W. Plumpke and two or three friends entered the saloon accompanied by Plumpke’s Newfoundland dog. They had not been long there when the dog did som ething that angered Fronberg, and he struck it on the head with a broomhandle. The dog was sent to Dr. Creeley’s, on Golden Gate avenue, and died. Several witnesses testified for the prose- cution and defense, and the jury at about 10 minutes past 4 o’clock retired to con- sider their verdict. It was after 6 o’clock before they returned into court with a ver- dict of acquittal. b s SR Elenora Duse has been obliged to cancel her American engagement on account of the state of her health.
