The law has not been changed in any way, although a bill has been in- oduced in Congress making October 1 theday. As this was not passed the date is still January 1. Another party of prospectors who have been hunting the lost ““Blue Bucket” mine in Southeastern Oregon have returned dis- appointed. Still, that and the Peg Leg in this State will keep prospectors busy mary seasons to come. Some people t cHaney or Desert Queen mine The reason of thinking rich ore is_being taken out ) is.in the same section of country. A new gold district has been found in Idaho on the south side of the Payette, six miles northeast oi Pearl City. The whole country near by has been staked off, but no development work has been done outside of a couple of claims. The West View or Willow Creek mines, Idaho, continue to show up good bodies of ore, and the future of the camp is quite bright. A-Chicago man has a process of working ores by which the full assay value may be attained “at a cost of 8 cents a ton. too good a thing to be kept in Chicago, where-they have no gold or silver ore. It ought to be brought out to this coast, for that sort of a process is just what all the miners have been waiting for, and they W btless continue to wait. eral of the interior papers are urging miners to stand in and help out the Miners' Association in its fight against the railroad for the preservation of niineral lands of California. But then 1y more of the interior papers keep a X reet silence on the subject, and many of these published in the midst of mining districts directly interested. William Doyle has bonded his mine at Hunts Guich, Amador County,to W. B. Moore of Sonoia and J. B. Doe of San rancisco, for two years, for the sum of . Wo e United States Geological Survey;de- termines that the quartz veins of the mother lode may be divided into three classes—those occurring in the black-clay siates of the Mariposa beds, those oc- carring mlong the contact of the black slates with rocks of the Ciabase series, and those ' in amphibolite-schist. The Ply- mouth Consolidated, the New London and the Gwin mines are examples of the first; the Keystone, South Sperry Hall and Ken- nedy. of-the second, and the Union, three 1iriles south of San Andreas, and the mines at Angels are examples of the third class. Telegraph City, Gopher mining district, is'a rather neglected portion of Calaveras Qounty, but there are several good claims there needing only capital to make them ‘productive. It is said money has been provided to begin operations in the Imperial mill at Kennedy, Nev., so that a plant to work by electric process will be soon in operation working ores at $9 per ton from the differ- ent munes in its district. ¥ Two ten-stamp mills are going into the Bohemia district, Oregon, this fall, in the Star and Champion mines. This is a very promising gold district which has thus far been very little developed. : Fisher & Martin’s Last Chance mine at 1ron Springs, seven miles from Prescott, Ariz., 1s to be again worked and havea new mill, There is a vigorous contest over the ownership of the new coal deposit near Skykomish, Wash. The coal is of a very superior character and there are two sets of lecators. Pierce City, Idaho, had its palmy days of gold production in 1861-22, and over 10,000 people were there in_the placers. Now Ame is quite an excitement over - quartz-and some mills are being put up, Messrs. Preston &jThompson are trying a Gold King amaigamator on the sand de- Dosits along the banks of the river near Fol- ‘som, . The Telegraph of that place says: “The machine is hand power, requiring only two men to_run it. If this venture proves a success it will open up a new field of émployment to the dozens of old min- ers ‘at present about here, as there' is .enoligh sand in this locnlny to keep them all at work for many years.” ‘W. H. Mills of the Southern Pacific Com- pany -states in the Placer Herald that where chrome iron ore is found on railfoad lands 50 cents per ton will be the royaity charged for working the deposits. The Virginia Enterprise states that there ‘ate more men engaged in mining in Ne- ‘vadg at present than at any time since the drop in the price of silver occurred. The low price of silver has been the cause of the zbandonment of numberless mines, but the smaller properties, the ore from which is mainly gold, are being worked with in- creased vigor.

Near Mohawk, Plumas County,a com- pany have taken up 160 acres of land on which a deposit of lignite is fourd. This is gradually being developed. There is great activity in mining in Plumas County in these days. _Denver parties have bonded an exten- | sion of the Golden Cross mine, San Diego County, for $36,000. The Oriental mine, weil known in the early history of West Point, Calaveras County, is about to be opened after fifteen | years of ialeness. | A correspondent of the Stockton Record | writing from Wallace, Calaveras County, says: “We want and have plenty of room for 1000 gravel miners in_and around the | vicinity of Wallace and Camanche. Most of the people can be satisfied these times making $1 50 per day, your own boss, with a chance of striking rich pockets.” The Georgetown (El Dorado County) Gazette says that the Channel Bend Min- ing Company, near Volcanoville, has now eighty men at work, forty whites and forty Chinese, engaged in running a drift tun nel for hundreds of feet in length into their immense bed of gravel, building roads, flumes and other improvements prepara- tory to working the mine on a large scale. El Dorado County hasdeposits of chrome ore near Salmon Falls and Negro Hill. Also on the road to Clarksville, west of the Stone house, and in the vicinity of the Stegeman ranch, below Salmon ¥ The deposits may be worked on aroyalty but at present nothing is being done with them. A correspondent of the San Diego World says the American Tub gold mine at Cargo Muchacho has been sold to an English company for $120,000. Thereis no water to work the gravel mines at La Panza, San Luis Obispo County, but the miners are prospecting for | quartz. A rich strike has been made by C. A. Burcham of San Bernardino in Summit district, eight miles from Goler, Kern ens of Hollister and Salinas have organized the Yreka Gold Mining Com- pany to mine in Siskiyou County. A% Yreka, Siskiyou County, ail kinds of ining are being carried on, from the old- fashioned rocker to hydraulic and quartz minirg. Old mines are being developed and new ones located and prospectors are plentiful. Silver Peak district, Nevada, is happy over a new rock-crusher, which weighs eight and a half tons and will crush from 150 to 200 tons of ore every ten hours. The miners want to begin crushing so they may receive coin instead of checks, Some new gold mines are being opened on Hemlock Creek, a branch of the Mar- shall River, Pierce County, Wash., which are quite promising. They are 58 miles from Tacoma and eight miles up the Mar- shall River from Eatonville. The ledges are large, but of low grade. The Sterling Company ‘of Utah, having spent large sums of money :n opening their coal mines, are now_able to furnish coal in great quantity. Tt is said to be su- perior to Pleasant Valley and equal to Castle Gate and Rock Springs coal. Chicago dealers are said to have offered $1 }ncr pound for the mica produced by the Palouse Mica Company, in Voodoo district, near the boundaries of Washington and Idaho. About 350 miners are now at work in and around Wardner, Idaho. Neither the Kansas City nor the Omaha and GrantSmelting Company will putupa smelter on the shore of Kootenay Lake, B. C., as it was expected they would. The Thistle shaft drift mine, Sierra County, in order not to have to reduce its force this winter, has prepared a large dump yard to store the gravel mined, which will be washed when there is an abundant water supply in the spring. The Planet and Saturn mines in Fools Gulch, Ariz., between the Congress and | Yameils mines, have been soid to Boston | parties for $40,000. | The McSorley Bros. have given a three years’ working bond of the Gwin mine ex- | tensions 1 and 2 to M.

Natural gas in strong tlow has been dis- covered on Marys Island in the Sacra- mento River, two miles below Knights Landing. A Southern Utah man finds a good way to destroy the various vapors from powder smoke in his tunnel is to slack some lime in a bucket of water and then with a com- | mon fruit tree spray-pump blow the lime- water into the hanging smoke and gases, which are thus neutralized. —— BOCIALISTS OBJECT. Meeting to Protest Against the Celebra- tion of the Victory at Sedan. American, French and German socialists will join in a protest against the celebra- tion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the battle of Sedan by the Germans. A meeting will be held at the Turk-street Temple for that purpose on Sunday evening, the 1st rox. M. M. Leiss will give an address in jerman, Reyv. E. J. Dupuy in French and Austin Lewis in English. 1t is easily understood why a Frenchman would regard a celebration of the Prussian victory over Napoleon III as obnoxious. That the same view is entertained by Ger- mans and Americans is accounted for by reason of their adherence to socialistic doctrines. ‘“‘True socialism is opposed to warfare,” said one of the proposed speak- ers, “and we intend to voice our objection to the celebration of any time of carnage. The jubilee of the Franco-German war which the Emperor of Germany is urging will culminate on Se‘ptember 2, the twenty- fifth anniversary of the surrender of Se- dan. We propose to raise our voices against so barbaric a custom and will goon record in the socialist organs of this and other lands to that effect.” y Martin Jones of this’ A VETERAN ACTOR GONE Death of Stephen W. Leach, an Old-Time Favorite of the Stage. EVENTS OF A LONG CAREER. He Belonged to the Famous Old California Theater Com= pany. Stephen W. Leach, a time-honored actor and musician, died at the Fabiola Hospital, Oakland, yesterday morning. Mr. Leach was born in England seventy-nine years ago. Brown’s “History of the American Stage’’ makes this reference to the actor who has just passed away: LEACH, STEPHEN W., Was the barytone with Mme. Anna Thillon’s Opera Troupe. In July, 1858, he married Geor- gianna Stuart, First appeared in Philadelphia April 23,1849, as the Duke in the “Enchan- tress,” at the Walnut-street Theater. After leaving Philadelphia Mr. Leach went to England. William Greer Harri- son calls to mind that he first saw Mr. | Leach in London with the Louisa Pyne Harrison Opera Troupe in 1852. Some two years later Mr. Leach came to | San Francisco with the Anna Bishop Opera | Company and had & part in the “*Crown | or exposes for sale anz pln[ the duty thereon has been full; i shall be subject to & penalty ofM He contended that the statute provided for no criminal proceedings, and that the only way to recover the penalty was by a civil suit. Now the section quoted which alone imposes a penalty for vio- lating the law refers only to *‘every maker or manufacturer.” Of course Ah Chow was not in fuct a manufacturer of cards. But section 46 of this law says, “every per- son who offers or exposes for sa]efp ay- ing-cards, whether the articles so offered or exposed are of foreign manufacture and imported or are of domestic manufacture, shall be deemed the manufacturer thereof.” Riordan did not dispute that Ah Chow exposed unstamped cards on his shelyes for sale, but made the further objection that the defendant could not legally be held to be the manufacturer and that the law applied to manufacturers only. United States District Attorney Foote also expended a great deal of thought and rEsenrcL on this interesting and important little Chinatown case and offered his array of arguments and decisions. It appears peculiar that no parallel cases concerning the old internal revenue taxes on matches or anything else were found. All the other “existing revenue laws concerning liquor and tobacco contain the words “‘public offense’” or other terms declaring a violation of the Jaw to be a crime. Commissioner Heacock yesterday held Ah Chow for trial before the District Court. He held that the ‘‘defendant was & manufacturer’” according to the plain reading of the law, which makes him one anyhow, and as _to the sufficiency of criminal proceedings he relied on a _de- cision by Judge Deady in the United States Circnit Court of Oregon given in 1883, in which it was held thag The rule is well settled that when a statute prohibits an act theretofore lawful and im- oses & penalty UpOR & party committing it, ut prescribes no mode of proceeding to ing-cards before a * % STEPHEN W. [Drawn by a “Call” a LEACH. rtist from a painting.] Diamonds.” Raphael Weill's recollection of the veteran singer and actor dates back to that period. Subsequently Stephen Leach became connected with the famous dramatic com- pany which for many years imparted re- nown to the produc tions of the Californa Theater. His associates were John Mec- Cullough, Henry Edwards, Barton Hill, Tom Keene, William Mestayer, Walter Leman, Bella Pateman, Ellie Wilton, Mrs. Judah, Mrs. Saunders, and many others whose names and faces were familiar to playgoers of San Francisco for many vears. In Walter Leman’s book, entitled ““Memories of an Old Actor,” Mr. Leach is only mentioned as a member of the com- pany. No incidents concerning his career are given. Mr. Leach was one of the founders or early members of the Bohemian Club, and was an honorary member of that .nstitu- tion when he died. He was also a member of the Athenian Club_of Oakland. For quite a while after the disbandment of the old California Theater Company he was employed as librarian of the Bohemian Club, receiving the small compensation of $50 per month. When the position was de- clared vacant many of the actor’s friends in the club contributed to his support and continued the contributions until his life ended. Much of the music for the orchestra of the old California Theater was arranged by Mr. Leach. He was a musician of more than ordinary attainments. He was educated in the pure style of English com- position, and attained a proficiency that challenged the admiration of Alfred Cel- lier. The latter told Joseph D. Redding that Leach’s compositions deserved to rank with the work of Locke, Bishop and Sir Julian Benedict. For the opera of “‘Maritana” Mr. Leach wrote a basso song which is sung wherever the opera is given. He and Joseph E. Tippett and Benjamin_Clark frequently sang “Willie Brewed a Peck o’ Malt'’ at the high jinks of the Bohemian Club. One of the old- time sketches in the club represents a scene wherein a bluff English guest and Stephen W. Leach dispute at low jinks as to the authorship of *‘Maritana.” The subject of the sketch is, ‘“Who Wrote ‘Maritana? »’ The controversy was wholly unexpected. Neither contestant knew the other, but, as both were British and each obstinately contended that he was right and the other wrong, a pugilistic scene seemed imminent. Leach, in his reminiscences, related that in London in 1836 he heard Malibran sing in “La Sonnambula,” and subsequently listened to the voice of Mario. In his long career on tue stage he supported many of the most eminent Enghsg and American actors of the century. One of his greatest parts was Touchstone in “As You Like It.” GRAVE CASE OF AH CHOW. 1t Involves Very Important Legal Points in the Revenue Law Concerning Playing-Cards. United States Commissioner Heacock yesterday decided two important legal points involving a construction of the new internal revenue law imposing a tax of 2 cents on each pack of playing-cards sold within the jurisdiction of Uncle Bam. It appeared from the proceedings that this particular law differs from most other Fed- eral statutes imposing internal revenue taxes in that it does not specifically declare a violation of it to be a *‘public offense,” a “felony” or anything else which would directly make an evasion or violation of the law a crime. All this legal importance was attached to the case of Ah Chow, a small Chinatown merchant. Ed Lanigan discovered some unstamped cards on Ah Chow’s shelves not long ago. Of course Ah Chow was bronghtinto the United States courts on a criminal proceeding. Riordan ap- peared for the defendant. \ Mr. Riordon read section 45 of the new law as follows: enforce it, such perty may be prosecuted by indictment or information. Mr. Riordan will probably now press his important legal points before Judge Morrow. HIS LEFT ARM AMPUTATED Frank Sullivan the Victim of an Accident at a Rail- road Crossing. A Southern Pacific Train Crashes Into a Buggy With Unfor- tunate Results. Another of the many accidents that have occurred at the crossings of the Southern Paciflc Raiiroad took place yes- terday morning, the victim being Frank Sullivan, a bookkeeper for Le Count Brothers. Sullivan was driving a buggy over the crossing at Harrison and Twenty-first streets, when the incoming train, due at 10:30 A. M., struck the buggy and carried it along nearly a block before it could be stopped. The buggy was smashed to pieces and Sullivan was thrown out and rendered un- conscious. The horse escaped withont in- jury by the harness giving way. Sullivan was taken to the City and County Hospital in the Seventeenth-street station patrol wagon, where it was found necessary to amputate his left arm. He had also received severe injuries about the head. There are no gates at the scene of the accident, and for some unexplained reason the signal bell did not ring. The only warning that Sullivan had was the whistle of the engine. Bys-tanders state that when Sullivan heard the whistle he whipped up his lorse, intending to clear the track ahead of the approaching train, but the horse be- came frightened and refused to go forward. The train came on so %uickly that Sullivan had no chance to make his escape before the engine crashed into the buggy. Sullivan is 22 years of age and [ives with his family av 1338 Alabama street. Al- though suffering severely from the shock and his injuries, it is expected that he will recover. ——————— THE EIGHT-EOUR LAW, An Interesting Opinion in Relation to Municipal Corporations, Several weeks ago Labor Commissioner E. L. Fitzgerald received a complaint from a labor organization in Oakland with reference to one of the Supervisors of Alameda County. The principal charge wis that the Supervisor in question was working men on the county roads in violation of the eight-hour law. The Labor Commissioner, after venlyiné some of the charges, wrote to Attorney-General Fitzgerald for an opinion upon the eight- hour law. The latter has sent the follow- ing seli-explanatory opinion: In reply to your favor of the 6th inst., and to your question as to whether section 3245 of the Penal Code, provldlnf that eight hours’ labor constitutes & legal day’s work, and directing that a stipulation to that effect must be made a part of all contracts “to which the State or any municipal corporation thereof is & party,” applies to & county, I am of the opinion that the said section was intended by the Legislature to apply toall governmental subdivisions of the State, and that the term “municipal corporation’” as used in this sec- tion inciudes a county. In the case of Bab- cock vs. Goodrich, 47 California, at page 509, the Supreme Court treated this section as ap- Pplying to a county. Held for Murder.

THE MACDONOUGH ESTATE An Inventory Shows Property That Is Valued at $1,389,296 38. ONE-HALF IN LOCAL LANDS. The Appraisal Somewhat Lower Than the Estimates at the Millionalre’s Death. J oseph Macdonough was a millionaire, but his estate is not so large as it was sup- posed to be. At the time of Mr. Macdon- ough’s death the estimates were placed at from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000, but the return made by the appraisers is much lower.

FOR THE ATLANTA FAIR. California Exhibit Fund Much Smaller Than Was Anticipated. Secretary J. A. Filcher of the State Board of Trade departed last evening for the At- lanta Exposition, which will open next month, in order to prepare for the recep- tion of the California exhibit, which will The be shipped on Saturday. ' Mr. Filcher was somewhat disappointed that he did not secure the $6000 asked of the counties be- fore he left. So far $5150 has been received. He said: 1t is too bad that the Beard of Trade is thus hampered for money and time. It means that the reputation of the State of California is at stake, and we are handicapped in upholding the honor and reputation not of the soard of Trade, but of the State. If the State had un- dertaken to send on such an exhibit as we are to display it would cost all of $100,000, vet we ask for only $6000. Our glassware would cost $30,000, the eight redwood stands $300, Ven- tura’s bean pagoda $1000, the Ferris wheel $3000 and the collection of preserved fruits 0,000. We get $5000 worth of space free and the free transportation of about ten carloads of exhibits, that taken as freight would cost fully $400 per carload. Now, when the board has contributed these things free and obtained so much in the interests of the State it seems strange that there is so little public spirit shown in this matter that we are short of funds and only ask for I received word to- day that the Fresno Chamber of Commerce is going to make a subscription although the county declined to help. However, we will do the best we can wich the materials and means that we have at hand. The Board of Trade has given up its rooms at 575 Market street and as soon as the exhibit is shipped to Atlanta the rem- nant will be removed to the basement of the Crocker building, on Market and Post streets. There the packing of late exhibits to the exposition will be carried on for a month or so. The business of the board will be transacted in an office on the fifth or sixth floor of the building. This otfice will be kept open until the exhibit is re- turned from Atlanta and then new and larger quarters will be selected. MASS-MEETING OOMMITTEES, They Are Duly Notified of Their Ap- pointment by Chairman Fergusson. Chairman Fergusson of the mass-meet- ing held at Metropolitan Hall last Satur- day evening yesterday notified the mem- bers of the two committees named on th: occasion of their appointment. The duty of the committee of five, of which Barclay Henley is chairman, is to arrange for the prosecution of C. P.

Monteith is chairman of the committee of fifteen whose duty it is to devise ways and means for holding a State anti-railroad convention in this City for the purpose of securing the election of an anti-railroad Legislature next year. This committee will hold its first meeting next Saturday evening at Mayor Sutro's office.
