THE SAN FRANC. ISCO CALL, MONDAY, MARCH 16, 1896, 4 : 3 ———_—e NEVADA CITY T0 THE FRONT, The Famous Mining Camp Arouses From Its Slumber. N ACTIVITY EVERYWHERE 0ld and New Properties Being Worked With Surprising Results. NOT A VACANT HOUSE IN TOWN The People a Unit on Home Interests. Good- Schools and Honest Government. NEVADA CITY, Cin, March 15— Nevada City, the county seat of Nevada County, is the second city of importance in the mining district, and it has been en- joying an era of renewed prosperity of late years. This place is situated on hills, without a level street, yet being so located possesses a picturesqueness that is notice- able by all visitors and gives many oppor- tunities for sight-seeing. Nevada City was first located in 1849, but did not take its present name until 1850, when the first election was held. It was a most important city in early days, at one time ranking third in the State of California as to population. It has passed through many vicissitudes, having been wiped out by fire on several occasions. Tts interests are, like those of its sister’ city, Grass Valley, centered in the pursuit of gold mining, and some of the best paying and deepest gold mines in California are here situated. The most notable mine is | probably the Providence, which has been reopened lately and pays handsomely. The Champion is also a good example of what persistency ‘will accomplish. After having been worked by assessments for twenty-six years it is now on the road to success and its stockholders are reaping the reward of untiring energy. It was re- cently bonded to a French syndicate for $1,250,000. owners were sorry for their action, and it After the bond was signed the | was their earnest wish that the bond | would not be taken. 1Itis to-day erecting & new mill and its prospects are bright for years to come. The Mayflower is another mine that is coming to the front, having been in a stage of development for years, but now it will enrich its owners rapidly. Among other promising properties are the Mountaineer, Mount George, North Banner, Spanish, Home, Cadmus, Reward and Federal Loan, in a number of which San Francisco capitalists are interested. Gravel mining aiso receives attention in Nevada City, although quartz mining is paramount. Among the important gravel mines are the Manzanita, Odin and Har- mony. Nevada City is the terminus of the Ne- vada County Narrow-zauge Railroad, about twenty-two miles from Colfax. Itis the distributing center for the Ridge dis- trict, where formerly hydraulic mining was running full blast, and at which time Nevada City was full of bustle and excite- ment. Sierra County travel and freight also go by way of Nevada City, and all the stage companies have their headquar- ters here. To-day the city numbers about 6000 in- habitants, and not a vacant residence can be seen. The people are prosperous and confine their trade 1o the home merchants, and it can truly be said, without fear of contradiction, there isno more loyal citi- zens to home interests to be found any- where. The people always present a united front on matters of public interest. At a recent election the citizens voted to bond the city for $60,000 to secure water- works, and in a short time the munici- pality will own its water system. Taxes are reasonable and the affairs of the city are economically managed by the board of five Trustees. Its schools are up to the standard re- quired by the State University to be ac- credited schools, and its corps of teachers are efficent and attentive to their duties. The city is well provided with electricity and gas, two separate electric light com- panies being in thefield. The streets are well kept, and the appearance of the city always strikes a visitor as healthful and clean, One fact of which Nevada City is proud is the excellence of its hotels and the substantial manner in which its busi- ness streets are built. Of course a great deal of this depends on the public spirit displayed by the citizens. Of these Hon. E. M. Preston is of the iront rank. He holds the position of presi- dent of the Citizens’ Bank, a solid institu- tion, and has been honored by being elected to the State Senate, and was anthor of the bill creating the Preston School of Industry at Ione. He is at present grand master of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Califor- nia and a citizen whose integrity is never | | always cheerful and agreeable. | servin, questioned, a gentleman whom it is a pleasure to meet. Young men are here accorded every op- portunity to display their talents, and in tuat regard Leonard S. Calkins, the refir- ing Postmaster, is a bright example. Be- ing bred and reared 1n journalism, he is a close student of human nature and is He is prominently mentioned as a candidate on the-Republican ticket for State Senator at the coming fall election. 2 Nevada City being the county seat, it is here where most of the officials reside. The present Sheriff, David F. Douglass, is 2 young man who has fully sustained the trust placed in him bv the people, and is to-day more popular than ever. John J. Greany, the County Clerk, is his third_ term. He hails from Grass Valley, but Nevada County in gen- eral claims him, and a more courteous and capable official it would be hard to find. William J. Rogers is the efficient super- diana the board of officers found it unsafe to fire over the 13-inch turrets, or to train the 8-inch guns nearer than ten degrees to the turrets. An officer in the turrets dis- tinctly noticed the powerful increase of the blast as the trainings came close to the ten-degree limit. - x The turrets of the Indiana worked smoothly and with precision. The 13- inch guns are not more than six feet above the deck, but they were fired on the keel- line without injury to the deck. The Indiana made a circle within three lengths of the ship.. The same test will be applied to the Oregon during %h. trial ex- eriments, which may take place early in ay. : There has been a vast deal of Eastern newspaper and magazine illustration of the Indiana and Iowa recently; yet the fact is that the Oregon is the equal in size, equipment, armor and armament of either. The record of the Oregon for speed and sea- going Tmliues will be awaited with keen interest. The Bureau of Ordnance at Washington has directed the California Powder Works and the Dupont Powder Company to sup- ly smokeléss powder for the 13-inch guns or the new battle-ships. Recent experi- ments made with California powder at Fort Point must have been successful in securing the initial velocity of 2100 feet per second within the prescribed pressure of recoil.

They Charge That Governor Budd Is Interfering in San Francisco Politics. The talk in political circles yesterday was the temporary victory of the Junta. Gavin McNab and his followers were elated and on the curbstones and the street éor- ners prophesied loudly that the opposition bad fallen to pieces, and that an era of desertions from the regulars would speed- ily begin. Mr. McNab talked freely about the out- come of Baturday’s meeting, and said that the effect of the adoption of his resolution would be to place the Junta’s 161 delegates from San Francisco on the roll of the State convention. They would then be entitled to vote on the election of temporary offi- cers of the convention, and the chairman pro tem. would be bound to appoint a committee on credentials favorable to the Junta’s delegates. “The election of temporary chairman will settle the whole business,” said Mr. McNab yesterday. *It does not happen once 1n a thousand times-that the tem- porary chairman is defeated for the per- manent chairmanship. The Buckley crowd won't have the slightest show of getting in. They have no strength whatever from . E.M Presfon, intendent of schools. He is a polished gentleman, well versed in educational work. He is a member of many fraternal societies and is a Knight Templar of high standing. Nevada City’s early history is early State history.” Many of her citizens have received honors from the people of the State and Nation, and they have always _reflected credit on the State. Her past history will always be recalled as long as pioneers of this Golden State survive, and then their children will retell events and occurrences that have made the place famous. Present prospects are bright, the future wiil bring forth much more to be recorded in history, and her mines will still keep replenisking the treasure vaults of this State. Nevada City to-day stands as an ex- ample of an early settlement changed toa modern city. JANY 1D ARY HOTES Battle-Ship Oregon to Dock at Hunters Point the 26th of April. Building of Quartermaster Stables at the Presidio Authorized—Practice ., Marches Contemplated. The battery of the battle:ship Oregon is practically in position. The 13-inch guns of the after turret were swung into place a few daye ago, and workmen are now busy in completing interior equipment and ad- justment. On April 26 the ship will go to Hunters Point dock and| remain there perhaps a week to make preparations for the trial trip on the Santa Barbara chan- nel course. As the Oregon and the Indiana are sis- ter ships, each carrying guns the same number and caliber, and similarly mounted, the gun trials which have re. cently taken place on the Indiana will be studied with special interest in like experi- ments with the battery of the Oregon. on duty at Fort Point, were examined by the board for promotion. B. B. Smalley and party from Burling- ton, Vt., were the guests of General For- syth last. Wednesday on a trip around the bay. Alcatraz and Angel Island were vis- ited. At the latter post the First Infantry Band gave a concert. At the Presidio the dynamite and mortar batteries were in- spected. The Fifth Artillery Band dis- coursed music. The party was enter- tained at the home of General Graham, the post commander. Among the guests on the trip were Colonel John P. Irish, Captain Guy Howard, son of General O. O. Howard, and Lieutenant J. F. R. Lan- is. Among officers that have recently ar- rived and reported to the examining board at the Presidio for promotion are Lienten- ant Lyon, Fort Wingate, formerly aid-de- camp on General Ruger's staff; Lieuten- ant McGrath, Fourth Cavalry, Walla Walla, and Lieutenant E. H. Brown, Fourth Infantry. Colonel A. 8. Kimball, chief quartermas- ter Department of California, has just re- ceived an authorization from Washington to construct quartermaster stables at the Presidio. An expenditure of $14,000 is authorized. Friday last Lieutenant and Mrs. Treat and Lieutenant and Mrs. Newcomb of An- gel Island returned on the steamship Ala- meda from a trip to Hawaii. The voyage was agreeable and the sojourn at the islands delightful. The leave of absence will permit the officers to visit Southern California before joining their regiment— the First Infantry. 3 Becond Lieutenant Adrian 8. Fleming, Fourth Artille: who was recently pro- moted from additional second lieuten- ant Fifth Artillery, has been ordered to re- port for duty at Washington Barracks at the National capital. Important Information by Telephone. A messenger-boy called up the Central telephone office yesterday and asked the operator if she knew what love was. “No,” she replied. *‘Say, if you tind out let me know, will you!” “All right,” said the boy. In a little while he called her up a and said: “Say, I found that out. Al love, you know.” = “What is it?"” asked Central. “An itching of the heart that one can’t scratch,” said the boy,and he ran off.— in out In the firing of the 8-inch guns of the In- | Syracuse Courier. 1% L.S.Calkins . the country, and this fact was proved by the vote in yesterday’s committee meet- ing, only six ‘country members voting for the Buckleyites.”” Mr. McNab grew facetious at the ex- pense of M. J. Donovan. “‘His sickness was caused by indigestion and pickles. The biggest contract he ever had in his life was the one he took to paint Buckley’s reputation white."” Mr. McNab was asked whether it was usual for the State Central Committee to interfere with the local organizations, and whetber that committee had any author- ity to do so. He replied that such was the fact and that the State Central Committee had exercised that prerogative four years ago. The committee had a right to recoe- nize what it believed to be the legal Demo- cratic organization of the City and County of 8an Francisco. The State Convention would admit 161 delegates of the Junta who would vote for the officers pro tem., and bhaving thus aided in the secction of those officers no power conld put them out because the Buckley representatives would have neither voice nor vote in the convention. The question was put as to whether the Junta would have open primaries or whether only those on the club rolls of the BIRDSEYE VIEW OF NEVADA CITY LOOKING TOWARD THE NORTHWEST. =is 2 i, = A omipigeend ilag ARSI AIN e ~TY £ .’.’)&.’r\-‘.v- fer b ==& -~ ‘Dr. J.

He made & reply of similar imlport to the question as to whether the club roils would be re- opened for additional members. Isador Alexander of the S8acramento del- egation said that he and his colleagues voted with the Junta because they saw that the Junta had the usper hand. The Sacramentans were chiefly interested in getting the State convention in their city, and they therefore voted with the bizger crowd. . *‘The names of the Junta’s 161 delegates will be placed on the roll of the State con- vention and they will be entitled to vote for the temporary officers of the conven- tion,” added Mr. Alexander. Mr. Alexander was asked as to whether the State Central Committee interfered in the faction fight between the rival Demo- cratic organizations of Sacramento County, the reorganized and the regulars, and he replied that the State Central Committee bad referred the matter to the State con- vention. Both delegations were kept off the roll, but the: committee on credentials by a vote of 14 to 1 recognized the reor- ganized wing, notwithstanding the fact %at it had nominated a Republican for ayor. . Mr. Alexanaer is an appointee of Goy- ernor Budd and holds down a fat berth in one of the fat State commissions. The regular Democracy ascribe their de- feat to the machinations of ~Governor Budd. They say that he has been doing and attempting to do politics in San Fran- cisco ever since his inauguration and they speak of him with' the most breezy disre- spect. They insisi that he stands behind Gavin McNab and pats that braw Scot on the back, the Governor}s intention being, they say, to obtain control of the Demo- cratic organizations throughout the State in furtherance of his political ambition. ‘They point in proof of their statements to the proxies held by the Junta at Satur- day’s meeting. The proxies held by Mr. McNab were eight in numper, namely: R. P. Troy, at iarge; A. F. Nelson of Humboldt, J. E. Parker of Modoc, A. L. Shinn of Lassen, G. J. Carpenter of Kl Dorado, T. C. Hogan of Santa Clara, F. J. Cross of Tuolumne and A. E. Cochran of San Diego. P. J. Shields of Sacramento, a deputy in the State Librarian’s office, held three proxies and voted them. He is a partisan of Governor Budd. John Markley, who owes hufposition as Secretary of the State Board of Examiners, is an appointee of Governor Bodd and voted three proxies. The other proxy-holders were: C. L. La Rue, 1; John W. Mitchell, 1; J. A, Fenton, 1; J. W. Ferguson, 1; C. B. Stone, 1; J. D. Coughlin, 1; R. B. Terry, 1; G. R. B. Hayes, 1;J. H, O’Brien, 1; Joseph Rothschild, 1¢ M.'J. Donovan, 1; F. H. Gould, 2; W. W. Foote, 1; M. 1 Laymance, 1, and W. A. Mwhy, 1; W. R. Prather, 1; J. W. Oates, 1: W. M. Gibson, 1. . The Occidental Club was in a state of indignation yesterday. The two promi- nent events of the meeting were what they termed the bulldozing tactics of Chairman Gould and the McNab resolu- tion. The opinion was generally ex- pressed that the regulars should have left the ball as soon as Chairman Gould had violated parliamentary law by cutting off Joseph Rothschild while he was yet oc- cupying the floor. They said- that 'if this bad been done the effect upon the country delegates in the State convention would haye been better. ‘W. H. Harrison, Chris Buckley’s nephew, was as non-committal regarding the future tactics of the regulars as he was out- spoken in his denunciations of McNab, Governor Budd and the Junta. “3hat is Jim Budd after?” he inquired fiercely. “‘Does he want to be United States Senator?”’ Mr. Harrison expressed the opinion ve forcibly to the effcct that Judge J. F. Sul- livan and M. C. Hassett were being used by the Junta as figureheads for the cap- ture or their following. ‘‘Hassett lied when he denied that he went over to Livermore to see Chris Buck- ley. He did go there to get Chris for Hin- ton. Hassett was to be Hinton’s attorney. Jim Budd 1s no good and Gould is no better.” Mr. Harrison added that the regular Democracy would pursue tne even tenor of their way and would send delegates to the State convention. He insisted that the gountrg would give the regulars hearing in the State convention, andghe added that twenty-three country delegates had walkea out of the hall disgusted with the bulldoz- ing methods of Chairman Gould. A LIBERALIST'S VIEWS. s Open Questions and the Soul of Things. Dr. J. L. York, the liberal orator, deliv- ered an interesting address to a large audi- ence in Scottish Hall. His subject was *Open Questions” and “The Soul of Things.” In speaking upon the first prop- osition he defined the attitude of the true liberal to all beliefs, saying that he does not place any limit upon vossibilities in nature. ‘The liberal analyzes all beliefs and dis- cards those that science proves to be with- out foundation. Spiritualism, theosophy, reincarnation or resurrection are all open functions that sre not to be lightly laid aside as nonsense until they are proved to be such. The law of evolution proves that man has progressed upward through many forms and changes, and it stands to reason that he has not yet reached his perfection, but will continue to live after the change called death in a condition one or more rounds up on the ladaer of progress. In explaining the process of evolution in natural and living things, Dr. York brought out the point in the second part of his subject, ‘The Soul of Things,” holding that all matter has life, and said, “If we search for death in matter, we find only change and resurrection in another form of life. If we search for life in matter, we only find change, modification and trans- formation, and life and death are one, and simply means change.”” In conclusion Dr. York spoke of the mission of liberalism. 1t is to produce rational views of human life, liberty and happiness; to war against religious super- stition in all forms and to teach the gospel of science, nature and true reforms; to keep the church and state separate and keep religion out of politics and out of our schools; tokeep the national flag floating over the schoolhouses and to promote good government, honesty, liberty, justice, trne{mty and a true moral life among the people. GRANT AND BUOKNER. A Memorable Incident of Lee's Ca- pitulation. It is one of the remarkable matters about Grant that many of the men who were his most tireless and intrepid foemen during the war were his best friends after. There were Mosby, Longstreet, old Simon Buck- ner and scores of others. Grant captured Buckner twice, once at Donelson and again at Appomattox, after battles which in no sense resembled the play.of children; and yet no sadder heart attended to bear the pall of the great soldier of the North, no tears fell faster above him as he went to his long rest than General Buckner’s. Probably the most sincerely American incident of the whole bad bungle of a war occurred at Lee’s surrender; or within a few minutes next following it. No sooner were the formalities of Lee's capitulation over than Grant in his ingenuous, single- hearted wnf—tho‘{ had known each other since an olden day at West Point—took Buckner one side and inquired into his finances and money needs. Grant wanted to lend him whatever his exigencies called for. That was a spectacle essentially American, and Grant was never greater than when utterly forgetting what might be called “‘the set of the stage,” he was trying to lend an old comrade—in arms against the day before, surrendered to him only ten minutes before—money enough to put him out of care and take him bome. And the best part of it was that Buckner borrowed like a true American and repaid every stiver like an hondst man.—Washing- ton Post. ————————— 1y TROUBLED WITH BEONCHITIS OB ASTHMA try at once Dr. D.

Father Crowley Tells of the Chari- table Enterprises Which the Monsignor Manages. “Monsignor Nugent is one of the best known as well as one of the most popular men in all England.” The speaker was Rev. Father Crowley, director of the Youths’ Directory at 2030 Howard street. He was telling of the great charitable work which the monsignor, now at Los Angeles dand soon to visit San Francisco; has for years carried on in Liverpool. “When the Archbishop and I were in England last year,” continued Father Crowley, “We visited Monsignor Nugent at Liverpool. And really he is a wonder- ful little man. Though 75 years of age, he is still very active and attends personally to the management of the large charitable enterprises which he carries on in Eng- nt to inquire if I could go without fiaia"l”flte .nlwqend that he meast exactly that. I remarked that starving did not appear to be a part of the business. He had before him right then a steaming hot break ast. 2 “ My bey, I hnvedgone fo: ulxl nmli;h'l’r:ry hours without food, except a turnip, . haps, which I found in a field by the road. Could you do that?’ 3 “That was true, too, about his starving in his younger days. Itis told of him that there was one theater on one of the coun- iry circuits where he occasionally glayed and always to large audiences after he had made his repuration. Kean would never speak to the manager of th’e house. The manager would take the star’s share of the receipts to him every night and when the well-known rap came on the door, Kean would say to his servant, ‘See what that man wants.’ Time passed and the once flour- ishing manager lost his house and became extremely poor. In another town Kean was playing once when the old manager applied to him for a benefit. Kean con- sented and _the nieht was fixed. Some nights Frevious to its occurrence, he, with some of the actors of the company, met at atavern in the town. The room wasa public one, where the’comediansand many of the patrons of the theater occasionally assembled. There, on- the oceasion in question, was the old manager. The jest went round not unaccompanied v the bowl, of course; an the * ei-devant manager, thinking all‘ former ill feeling buried, rose, made & speech alluding to Kean's generosity and acquainted the company that Kean hav- ing known him in his prosperity had con- sented to play gratuitously for his benefit. This was received with loud acclamations, amid which Kean rose (and fhose who were present were as little likely to forzet the expression of his countenance at that moment as in any of his dramatic D ‘,‘""2”“1 e TR i Monsignor Nugent, Whose Work Among the Street Urchins of England Has Given Him a World-Wide Fame. [Reproduced from a London. publication.] land. He has been engaged in this work for many years and his name is known throughout the world. He built and has for years maintained a home for newsboys, waifs and strays in_the city of Liverpool. Tt is not unlike our Youths” Directory, but, of course,on a larger and more magniti+ cent scale, He is now building a home for unfortunate women in Liverpool. ~His charitable enterprise is simply boundless. “‘Monsignor Nugent was for many years chaplain to the penitentiary, but is now retired. In recognition oi his splendid services he was given a pension for life by the British Government. He isa strong believer in temperance, especially because his long years of labor among thedpogr, distressed and fallen bave impressed him with the truth that drink has caused the greater part of all the poverty and ruin.” Daring his stay in San Francisco Mon- signor Nugent will be the guest of the Arch- bishop. He is now on a visit to the Bishop of Los Angeles. This is not his first visit to the United States, though be has never been in California before. He crossed the Atlantic some twenty years ago and made a tour of the Eastern States. Father Crowley received a letter from Monsignor Nugent a few days ago. It was in response to an invitation to deliver a lecture on his fayored theme, ‘‘The Waifs and Strays, or Pictures of Street Life in England,” while in San Francisco. The monsignor will probablv accept the invitation. In speaking of his lecture an English publication says: 2 “Few living men have had more experi- ence among the struggling classes. A long, active and sympathetic life has been spent among the poor, and one' of his cEief aims has been to rescue youth of both sexes from the dangers of street life by giving them industrial training. The story of the ‘Waifs and Strays, or No- body’s Children,” is not the usual dry lecture, but a masterly picture of the struggles of those who pick up their bread on the streets as best they can, drawn to lite and told so true to nature, in speech and manner, that you imagine these gam- ins before you exercising their various callings. characters of the London bootblack, infant acrobat and trapeze per- former, child ballad singer, sidewalk artist, dramatic troupe and outdoor vocal and instrumental company, are so real- istic that you almost see before you the living pictures. This story of the ‘Waifs and Strays’ is equal in language and dramatic pathos to some of Dickens’ best sketches of London life among the poor.” OLDEST AOTOR ON THE STAGE. Mr. Howe of Irving’s Company Tells a Story of Kean. “Yeg, it is true I am the oldest actor on the stage,” said Henry H. Howe of Sir Henry Irving’s company. One can readily believe it, for Mr. Howe's hair is snowy, but it is luxuriant, notwithstanding his years. X A fine old gentleman he is—full of life and spirit and fire, notwithstanding his seventy-six winters and more than half a century on the stage. And what reminiscences! The great Kean, Edmund, advised him not to think of going on the'stage. This old gentieman was in the original produc- tion of *Richelien’” and “London Assur. ance” and oh, so many more. He hag played every male part in probabiy ten lays, among them ‘‘The Merchant of enice,”’ “Richelieu” and “London As- surance.”” He was twenty-seven years at the Haymarket and was for a long time at Covent Garden. I went to see great Edmund Kean once, seeking a place in his company,” he said. “It was about9 o'clock in the mornin, when I called the first time to see him. § was informed that he would not be up for hours. 8o I went back the next day at 11 o’clock. He was not up then, nor the next day at_12, but finally, about the fourth day, I did get to see him. : “Turning to his manager when I entered Mr. Kean exclaimed, ‘So this Quaker cockey wants to be an actor? He had seen in a moment that I wasa Quaker. All my people were, but, perhaps, I was understand’ one another. I am bound to you by no ties of former ac- quaintance. I don’t play for vou because you were once my manager or a manager. If ever a man deserved his des- tiny it.is yow If ever there wasa family of tyrants it is yours. I do mot play for you from former friendship, but I play: you because you area fallen man.” The effect was electrical, but the person to whom it_was addressed pocketed the af- front and the receipts of the night in gues- tion, which were very great. Kean ex- plained his conduct thus—I believe I may say in exactly these words: ‘I am sorry that I forgot myself, but when me and mine were starving that fellow refused to let a subscription for me be entertained in his theater.” "—Atlanta Constitution. ————— FEach instrument excels in some partic- lar passage, the piano in scale passages, the harp in arpeggio, the mandolin in the rapid repetition o one note, the banjo in the rapid playing of broken chords, and so with other instruments, but the violin can beat them all on their own ground, while there is much violin music that can be played on no other instrument.
