8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1895. THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, First Choices Were Successful in Four of the Five Events. SELLING PLATERS BID TUP. B. C. Holly Agaln Took a Hand!at Estimating the Value of Horseflesh. Not over 700 or 800 persons paid admis- sion to the Bay District track yesterday, and possibly in a pinch that estimate was excessive. Good horses draw good crowds, and the card yesterday was not one to ex- ultover. ' Inaeed, had it not been for the little bit of life infused into the game by the bidding up of several horses entered in selling races, it might be called a tedious, tiresome day’s sport. To be sure, four of the five favorites won, and there praise ends. B. C. Holly, the Flosden ;horseman, thought some of the horses were entered in selling dashes to be sold, too cheap, and he let their owners know na way that was sforcible, even if a bit expensive. He began with boosting Red Will, the winner of the opening race, owned by smiling Denny Lynch of the Arizona stable; but he did not stop there. Long Lady, winner of the second race, owned by the wealthy firm of Burns & Waterhouse, won so im- posingly that she received a *1ift,’ and the same firm’s mare Rosebud, which cap- tured the third race, was hoisted afew hundred dollars. The aged mare, Corinne Buckingham, was made a 2 to 1 favorite for the opening five-furlong dash, and it was a bad pick, for she never got within hailing distance of the money. Rea Will, with 315 to 1 against him, led all the way and won gal- loping, four lengths in front of Tamaipai a0 to 1 outsider. Gondola was thi The winner was bid ng price of $100. v had Long Lady for a cinch cear-old five and a half furlong dash, and from 7to 5 her price was soon cut to 4 to 5. She was not prominent the first part of the journey, but came witha eyclonic rush through the stretch and won cleverly, three parts of a length be- fore Tiberius. Cardwell, who made all the running, was a tired third. The ran was made in the excellent time of Entered to be sold for $500, the filly was bid up to $1000, the usual $5 retaining her for her owners. The next race was a tive-furlong spin for maidens, with maiden jockeys in the sad- dle. There were seven starters,with Rose- bud a prohibitive 1 to 4 favorite. Jefferson and Bob Tucker received the most support for the “platz.”” The boys were all so anxious to get out of the maiden class that they gave the starter all sorts of trouble at the post, causing him to first remove his coat and then to expostulate with them, but without av: Then, throwing both arms in the air, he burst forth in a passionate appeal, which proved successful, and the bunch was sent away in good order. Jefferson led to the stretch, when the favorite walked past him and won by two lengths in 1:013{. The win- ner, entered to be sold for $300, received a raise of $400, her owners bidding her in. There were but three starters in the fourth event at six and a half furiongs— | Mainstay, Captain Rees and Adam. The first two horses opened at even money, but the bookies reinsed Mainstay money. They finally took it at 3 to 5, the big Mari- ner colt ngto the post2 to5. He led all the w winni ridden out a length ahead of the Captain, who receded in the betting to 314 to 1. Backed from even money to 1 fto 2 the favorite, Candor, took the last race of the day very bandily, running the milefin 1:42. Hanford, who led the first choice if of the distance, was a good second, S third.

Miss Bertha Monroe Rickoff read a pa- per yesterday at the Occidental Hotel be- fore members of the Century Club and the State Suffrage Association on ‘“New Possi- bilities.” In the course of her remarks she said: “The new woman is not merely the result FIFTH RACE—One mile; selling: purse | of her own efforts. She is what she could not help but be—the outgrowth of fore- going conditions. But man is startled by what he deems to be a willful departure on { her part from past and correct standards. | He fears she is desirous of usurping the Erovince of man, while her only wish is to e more truly a woman. It grieves him most to be told that she suggests being self-supporting. He regards it as a reflec- tion on his credit. *‘He only needs to have it carefully ex- plained to him that the true woman has always been self-supporting. The grand- mother, who raised the flax, spun, wove and made the clothing of her household, whose dainty Puritan fingers preserved the fruit and washed the linen, did she not earn her support, or was ita free gift, for which she offered no compensation? Her unselfish sacrifices are all made, her tasks of spinning and weaving are all done, her wrinkled hands are folded and laid away, i and she is gone, leaving the fragrance of a life that was perfect unto the day in which it was lived. The growth of her own na- ture was offered up to the necessities of her time and the larger spiritual life, the fuller intellectual freedom she was never to know. *“Where woman used to mold the candle | she now turns on the electric light; where | she used to weave the flax she buys the | garment complete, and as the ease of mod- jern manufacture and purchase increase, | the duties heretofore supposed to be pe- culsarly a woman'’s decrease. ard she finds herself in new conditions, to which she | must adapt herself or become unworthy of | her heritage.” | — WONTREALS EXPOSTON Wendell Easton Talks in Favor of a Grand California Display. | He Suggests That Each County Have a Regular Representative on the Ground. | The Canadian Internauonal Exposition, { which will be held at Montreal in 1396, | already attracting the attention of wide- | awake San Franciscans.

[Special Corresponderice 0f THE CALL.] HORNITOS, CAL., Sept. 20, 1895.—Mari- posa County isexperiencing a revivalin the mining industry, which is now and has ever been the main factor of its prosperity. Quartz mining has slumbered in this re- gior. for a period of nearly twenty-five vears; not from any lack of resources, but for other reasons hardly necessary to give in detail, merely mentioning bad manage- ment, lack of capital and properappliances, mistaken notions of geographical locality and area, and that curse of all legitimate mining enterprises a ‘boom,’” the name given to the vicious humbug of inflated values. About three years ago a general move- disbursement of a large amount of work- ing capital, the prospecting of mines to a depth not heretofore attempted, the intro- duction of a8 new water supply from the Tuolumne River through the old ‘‘Golden Rock ditch,” which formerly had its term- inal point at Big Oak Flat, and the appli- cation of electricity as a motive power. The comfilny already disburses over $20,- 000 monthly in wages of employes, wood, timber and mining supplies. They are sinking two new three-compartment shafts, which have already reached a depth of over 400 feet. They are using Burleigh drills and_their progress is very rapid. From the Nelson shaft the “Louisa” and “‘Marguerite” will be worked, while the Bit.'%low shaft commands the approaches to the are bodies of the *‘Alvina No. 1" and “No. 2,” and_the “Potosi.” The old shaft of the Mary Harrison mine is being cleaned ourand retimbered. The new shafts are expected to strike the ore bodies at a depth of 800 feet. The machinery for the big hoist- ing works is now coming in and is being rapidly put in place. I,Fpon the authority of men whose observation and practical experience qualify them to form a cor- rect judgment these new hoisiting works will be the finest in the State. ‘ A HUNDRED-STAMP MILL. On Black Creek, about half a mile from town, they are constructing a dam and reservoir with a storage capacity sufficient for milling purposes. This is near the | Potosi, where the millsite is located. The mill will be temporarily run by steam power for prospecting purposes with forty stamps, but the frame is adapted for placing in operation, when completed and the electric power applied, sixty addi- tional stamps, or a hundred altogether. The company has a force of men at work on the head of the Golden Rock ditch, which carries the water toa point near Hamiltons.

The California Volunteers Present Him With a Handsome Badge. The Society of California ~Volunteers | gave a surprise to Major Hooper of the | Occidental Hotel last Monday at that caravansary. A special meeting of the | society was called for the purpose of pre- senting to Major Hooper a badge before | his departure Eastward, as a token of the | esteem and honor in which the society { holds him. The meeting was called to or- der by Captain Lysander Washburn, presi- |dent of the society. A committee was | then appointed to conduct Major Hooper into the presence of the friends and com- | rades assemblzd. Maior Sweasey, who made the presenta- | tion speech, said: | We are gathered here this evening on the eve | of yourdeparture on a visit to the Eastern | States for the purrose of giving expression to | the sentiments o rsonal regard that ani- | mate the hearts of all your comrades. In doin; | s0 1t is proper to revert briefly to the past an i let our memories recall for ‘a moment those days fraught with such iremendous import to | the destimes of our coun!r? when you, com- rade, then in the full vigorof a splendid young manhood, promptly and patriotically volun- teered your services to our beloved country in her hours of anguish and direst peril. As our minds review how nobly and zealously those services were rendered a feeling of pride man- tles our cheek at the thought that we can call you comrade. Tam also deputed, by our associates, to ‘r(n this beautiful jewel upon your breast, and to ss the fervent wish that its lasing, un- ing sheen may prove emblematical of our intransmutable affectionate regards; regards that can only be surpassed by ties of con- sanguinity. May your journeyings be safe and pleasant and your return speedy. Wherever ou may go, wherever you may dwell, you may e assured that you bear with you our fervent invocations for the future health, happiness and gwsperity of you and yours. And now, on behalf of myself and comrades, I take your hand and bld you hail and farewell, with God speed. Major Hooper responded briefly, but with “feeling, after which Rev. G. E. Walk of Trinity Episcopal gave an address. He was followed by Major Egan, U.S. A,; Captain H. A. Gorley, Captain Albert Brown, C. W. Kyle, P. Kearney and Colonel C. Mason Kinne.

Mariposa, from force of habit, was in the rear of the procession, but eventu- ally fell into line and, like the wingless insect, ‘‘got there all the same.” From this “turn of the tide’’ up to date the hills have been alive with prospectors and the agents, experts and capitalists seecking mining investments have been frequent visitors. Most of them mean business and some have come to stay. The legitimate mining, more permanent in- vestments and more actual developments in quartz mines within the space of two years than for the thirty years preceding the new era; and it may be added, more legitimate sales of mining properties. As a promising field for mining ven- tures—taking into account area, former production by crude and superficial methods, and the depth_and continuity of ore bodies already demonstrated, no county in the State offers better induce- ments. To this may be added an ebun- dant timber supply and unlimited water power, if properly utilized. The mineral belt 1s nearly or quite forty miles in width, extending from a point near the westerly boundary of Yosemite Valley proper (not the United States ‘‘park” so called) down nearly to the line of Merced County. The entire territory within this range of | the gold beltis traversed and checkered | with'quartz veins, mottled with the debris of primitive gold diggings and dotted with the remnants of camps, cabins and towns in various stages of decay. Reoccupation and a renewed lease of life are lifting the shadow of abandonment from these old landmarks. The prospectors are in the field, and * the woods are full of ’em.” So are the books of the County Recorder, with locations, relocations and notices thereunto appertaining. Such is the general complexion of the mining industry of Mariposa as seen from net result is that there has been more | with a fall of 1500 feet. They have laid in an abundance of wood and timper and work is going along rapidly and systemati- cally without delay or those waits between the acts which too frequently hamper rogress and create distrust with the pub- ic. The north side of the Merced just now is working in the lead. TYRO, RED BANK AND OTHER MINES. The Tyro, located about a mile and a half southwest of town, is again on deck with a fair prospect after a temporary suspension | of several months. At the 500-foot level the ore body appeared to have given out and a gauge took its place which con- tinued for about 100 feet when the ore | body came in again richer than ever. They will continue the shaft to the 700 level when stoping will be resumed. The owners of the Red Bank (Werten- wieler & Sahlinger), are steadily develop- ing their property. Their mine was formerly owned by the Cathey brothers, and is located about eight miles from Coulterville, on the north side of the river, about two miles below the Benton mill- site. They are putting in a dam across the Merced, and have lumber out for a forty- stamp mill. Captain A. H. Ward, who has been ab- sent, looking after his interests at Whit- lock’s, has returned and resumed opera- tions on the Pinon Blanco mine. Some too-too fresh newspaper reporter recently tried his hand at removing this mine into Tuolumne County and got things fearfully | and wonderiully mixed. H. H. Clark and M. H. MacLaymoth are i continuing work on the Alice Clark,a mile north of Coulterville. New discoveries have been recently made in the North Fork range, near the Bon- durant and Banderjta mines. Among the latest and most promising prospects are ]thz Riverside, Hartman and Younger odes. THAT FREMONT GRANT. A reckless correspondent of a mining journal not long since aroused the ire of R the standpoint of an old resident. Within this general view are comprised the Hites Cove, Sweetwater, Whitlocks, Sherlocks, Colorado, Couiterville, Quartzburg and Hornitos districts and their surround- ings. 4 IN THE FRONT RANK. Measured by the cal;;iml invested, the scale of ogerations. the number of em- ployes on the payroll and the plans formu- lated for the very near future, the front and central figures in line are the Whitlock and Couiteryille mines. The Whitlock group is located about six miles northerly from the town of Mariposa, and, with its twin mining camp, Sherlocks, was the most noted and productive mining district in the flush times of this primeval industry. The Whitlock mine, which, after years of abandonment, was purchased and rehabilitated about five years ago by Captein A. H. Ward is now owned and operated by the Sierra Buttes Company. A flourishing town has taken the place of the few dilapidated shanties which latterly signalized the decadence of an oid-time *lively camp,” and the owners of the Ylunt feel secure in the control of a valuable property. An unfortunate fire which destroyed the hoisting works and seriously damaged the timbering in the main shaft took place on Sunday, the 8th inst. It was a setback not only in the material destruction in- volved but in temporarily throwing out of employment a percentage of the working force. The damage is now in process of repair and in a few weeks operations will be resumed on the original scale as if nothing had happened. Several adjacent mines owned by Captain Ward and other Emeu are in process of development. hlpox—u from adjacent localities are favor- able. THE COULTERVILLE MINES. From a dull sort of “sleepy hollow” the town of Coulterville has recently assumed the characteristics of a thriving and perous village. The change has wrought by the sale of the group of mines included in the Seth Cook property, pur- chased about two years ago by a Boston and Montana syndicate. since incorporated as the “Merced Gold Mining Company.”’ Their plan of operations will involve the lacer | Reen . TOWNSITE OF QUARTZBURG, NOW THE FARM OF L. ROGERS, [From a photograph.] its local readers by intimating that all the mining territory in this county south of the Merced is included within the bounda- ries of the historical “Fremont grant,” now the Fro_perty of the Mariposa Com- mercial Mining Company. “In the days of old and the days of gold” it was desig- nated as ““Las Mariposas,” and bequeathed its name to the original county. To cor- | rect the error which has thrown several | kindergarten journalists into spasms, it may be noted, as a geographical fact, that the county inits present shrunken condi- tion still comprises about 900,000 acres, three-fourths of which is mineral in char- acter, while the domain of the ‘“grant”’ only covers 44,000 acres. Still it has taken vears to correct this discrepancy, and the mischievous error is even now not entirely effaced. For further general information of non- residents it may be stated that this 44,000- acre tract (which is no little garden patch) is located in the heart of the mineral belt. Its northwestern line is the Merced River; thence it zig-zags in a general southeast- eg]y direction, taking in the towns of Bear Valley, Princeton and Mariposa and the relics of the once lively camps and preten- tious villages designated as Mount Ophir, Upper and Lower Agua Frio, Mormon Bar, Mariposita and Bridgeport. The Freag mother lode and its nearest of paral- el kin traverse its extreme length, about fifteen miles. Not less than $6,000,000 in gold has been extracted from the Pine Tree, Josephine, Mount Ophir, Princeton, Guadaloupe and Mariposa workings, that we know of. How much has been irregularly pocketed in a qmet'v;vny is an unknown quantity. “The grant’’ has been the theater of many and varied dramatic events, a fruitful subject for local newspaper :-.mm:'nenta and a source of vexatious litigation, down to its latest change of ownership in 1887, Wwhen it was purchased by John P. Jones, Flood, Mackay and Hobart & Hayward. 1t was incorporated under the name of the Mariposa Commercial and Mining Com- flmy. the stockholders at present being ayward and the Hobart estate, John P. Jones, Sam Jones and Muchy—j ones and Mackay holding two-thirds of the stock. As they have the controlling interest and at last accounts were both in San Francisco the people are hopeful mn ex- pectancy of some practical business propo- sition being evolved from a conference be- tween these bonanza men. It may be mentioned that under the superintendence of James Cross, who was business manager for about five yvears, dating from the purchase in 1887, some systematic prospecting of the Pine Tree, Josephine and adjacent mines near Bear Valley was commenced, but work was sus- pended and Cross quit in 1892. With this exception this valuable property has been lying idle and unproductive for nearly a quarter of a century. But all this time the air has been loaded with rumors of what is going to happen “when the grant starts up,” or phrases of kindred meaning, till these references to the future are re- ceived as harmless jokes. ANG YU GIVES TEN DAYS See Yups Express Scorn for Their Minister’s Proc- lamation. Government Will Probably Be Urged to Deport the Heads of the Four Companles. Great indignation prevailed among the See Yups yesterday, at the hand the Chi- nese Minister at Washington has taken in trying to end their bovcott against the Sam Yups. People well versed in the affairs of Chinatpwn consider that his proclamation has added to the complica- tions, and the most optimistic can see nothing but trouble ahead. Yang Yu's proclamation does not at- temnpt to strike directly at anything so in- tangible as the new organization of the See Yups, which has its headquarters at the corner of Clay street and Waverley place. It strikes at the four companies that are supporting the new organization. “If within ten days,’” says the proclama- tion, “the chiefs of the Wing Yungs, Shue Hings, Hop Wahs and Kong Chous do not come to the Consulate and pledge them- selves to do all in their power to suppress the boycott, those chiefs will be held re- sponsible for the unlawiul proceedings of tge See Yups and will be deported to China.” To judge from the indignation expressed by the See Yups yesterday there is little probability that the end of the ten days will find the four comf}anies kow-towing at the feet of. the Consul-General. They are known to be morally responsible for the new organization that is conducting the boycott, but they know that the truth can- not be brought home to them. Speaking of{]his organization yesterday Dr. Masters said: “I can only compare it to the case of Adullum, to ‘which every one that was in distress, every one that was in debt and every one that was discontented gathered themselves.” The Oonsul-General told me only a few days ago that it had become a rallying point for fifteen highbinder so- cieties that the police disbanded some years ago. “The headquarters are at the corner of Clay and Waveriey, and_that is the tri- bunal to which the See Yups who are ar- rested for buying at Sam Yup stores are taken. The tines inflicted vary from $1 to $100, but the men arrested pay in silence and never tell who are their judges—they would expect to be killed if they did. *‘Lately they have taken to molesting our Christians on the streets. The other day five of our See Yup men were taken up and fined a dollar for buying 5 cents’ worth of peppermint oil at the Sam Yup store. Nothing could induce him to swear out a warrant, because he said he had a wife and child and wanted to live, and that is the way with all of them, they have no courage to complain. If oneman could be found willing to swear out a warrant the police could _break up the whole thing in twenty-four hours. *‘As the boycotting tribunal was molest- ing our Christians the other day Rev. Dr. Conditt of the Presbyterian Mission, Dr. Morris of the Baptist Mission and I went to the headquarters on Clay street and Waverley place. We asked who were the head men there and the men we saw said they did not know. ‘You tell us what you have to say and we will tell them.’ ‘How can you, if you do not know them ?’ we asked, and all the satisfaction we could obtain was that they knew people who did know them. That is how the organization is managed. It is impossible to discover the responsible parties. We left word that our Christians were not to be molested, and so far the request has been respected.” When asked whether it was_ probable that the four companies would come to terms within the ten days Dr. Masters said: “If the Consul-General or Yang Yu had the power to cut off their heads the four companies would be on their knees before them, but as it is they will only snap their fingers at the proclamation.” There are other people in Chinatown who are not of this opinion, but think that the chiefs of the four companies will be bmufht to terms by threats against their families in China, or that the Minister will use all the influence he possesses at Wash- ington to induce the American Govern- ment to deport them. SANTA FE PATRONS ANGRY Has the Southern Pacific Or- dered a Systematic Boycott? Tradesmen Object to Be Given the Go-By by the Southern Pacific Employes. Has the Southern Pacific management ordered a systematic boycott of Santa Fe patrons? It seems too silly to believe such a story. It would be absurd and puerile and all the rest, 1n the judgment of all level-headed men. Yet it is more than a story—that's certain. Proof—absolute, impregnable—is diffi- cult to get hold of in a matter of this sort. The hand that plays such a trick does 1t in the dark of the moon. During the past few weeks complaint after complaint, some merely growls, others bitter protests, have come to officials of the Santa Fe sys- tem, not only here, but in different parts of the State. The tone and deduction from them all was that Southern Pacific em- ployes, from section-hands and ‘‘hostlers’ up, have been ordered, emphatically, to give no patronage of any sortto known patrons of the Santa Fe system. In other words, if a Los Angeles shoemaker rides regularly to Riversiage over the Santa Fe instead of the Southern Pacific, the South- ern Pacific employes wherever found are to buy no more shoes from him. It’s the same with a saloon man, grocer or any other calling. The idea is so absurd_that the Santa Fe officials in this City will not believe any such tale. But complaints from the shoe- makers and grocers and liquor-dealers come flying in every little while, asking what it all meaps, and what have they done? If it wasinonly one case it might be dismissed as an absurd hallucination, but the complaint has been voiced in a dozen or more cases from as many points where Southern Pacific and Santa Fe in- terests happen to be in competition. *This is carrying rnilwng warfare_into the home with a ven said a Santa Fe man yesterday. ‘It has already,as I know, worked considerable hardships. It muy be purely imaginative, and it scems to me must be so, yet the impression and the actual practice are certainly abroad, t.l?'d I _t,hink somebody ought to say some- ing.’ NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS.
