The well was bored to a depth 0 feet; the rancher went broke in it | st, and he got neither oil, gas nor Some speculations turn out just “In San Mateo County,” said Mr. Hoag- land, “I drilled a well over 1000 feet in depth. and struck salt water.

He was born and brought up in Bradford County, Pa., but for twenty years past he has been engaged in his occupation on this coast. It was he who drilled the Moody Gulch oil wells, near Los Gatos, in | Sauta Clara County, and from them several | thousand gallons o rior quality have company in S all the petroleum of a supe- | been vumped.

But capital may well ponder | over tie idea of boring for oil or of boring down to see what can be goi. The earth is chockfull of precious things, and gold is only a small fraction of the value of the | contents of the interior of this mundane | sphere. This advice to the rich is quite | lar to the advice which has oftentimes 1 given to the poor to *“‘get in and dig.” | But there is something more to this sub- | ject of well-boring. One of the great mo- tive powers of the world of industry is steam, which “scorns the sirength of our puny hands as the tempest scorns a chain.” Now, the cost of the production of steam, the fuel, machinery, etc., is a most important item.

Why may not some well-boring genius of the future convert to industrial use the steam that is imprisoned in the bowels of the earth and that is now and then finding vent through the craters of volcanoes? Old Mount Diablo, at our very door, is an_extinct volcano, and it 1s not impossible that the upward expansion of vapors from below may some time blow the cover of his chimney off again. The Pacific Ocean is girdled with volcanoes. Some geologists connect volcanic phe- nomena with internal lakes of liquid mat- ter or a central ocean of molten rock. The floor of the sea, the beds of rivers and lakes, are all leaky, and the subterranean water percolates down cracks and joints in vast quantities. Many believe that it is to | chimney are unable to withstand the up- ward expansion of this imprisoned vapor and water, so that, after some premonitory rumblings, the whole opposing mass is | blown out, and the vapor rushes up in the well-known masses of cloud. Meanwhile, the removal of the overlying column re- lieves some of the pressure from the water- charged lava, which therefore begins to rise in the funnel until it forces its way through some weak part of the cone or pours over the top of the crater. Aftera time the vapor is exoended, the energy of the volcano ceases and tbere comes a vari- able period of revose, until a renewal of the same phenomena brings on another eruption. Now if the well-boring genius shall sink a pipe down to a point that will tap of checking volcanic eruptions and put- ting the expansive power to use in our | cities and towns? If the steam could be | | piped from the subterranean caverns one | | of the cguses of volcanic eruptions would thus be removed, Then, of course, the well-borer would be | sure to strike oil and gas during his ex- ploitation for the roots of volcanoes, and | those necessary adjuncts to civil i could be made cheaper than S; | ley water. The world is destined to wit- | ness many wonders that not even the in- tellectual prophets of this fin de siecle siage of history have ventured to predict. Why may not some well-borer startle man- kind with an achievement undreamed of now, as the result of boring down into depths hitherto unreached, and only al- luded to in vagan myth and Curistian | fable? WRECK OFTHE BLAIRMORE A Court of Inquiry to Meet‘ Thursday at the British Consulate. Bids for the Raising of the Sunken | Ship Will Be Opened To-Morrow at Noon. The capsizing of the British ship Blair- more was the one absorbing topic of con- versation on the water front vesterday. Men speculated as to the why and the wherefore, and the women pitied the wives and children and relatives of the dead sailors. All expressed their opinion about the catastrophe, and while some blamed Ceptain Caw others thought he was biameless, inasmuch as he was only fol- lowing the rules laid down by his owners, The only manner in which the facts can be arrived at is by a board of inquiry. This the British Consul has ordered, and it will sit next Thursday at 10 A. . It will be composed of Wellesley Moore, British Consul; Captain Harvey, a retired British master, and Captain England of the British ship Thistle, now in port. All the survivors of the disaster will be called as witnesses, and the officers and crew on the British Yeoman will also be heard from, and their evidence will determine the verdic % The guestion of raising the sunken ship is now under discussion. Bids have been called for and will be opened to-morrow. It is a question of no success no pay, and if the Blairmore is not raised the contrac- tor will be outand injured on the proposi- tion. The chances are that Whitelaw, the wrecker, will secure the job, and if hie does the manner in which he will go to work will be very simple. The hole cut in the side of the sunken vessel, by the vwork- men of the Union Iron Works will be patched up and then divers will cut away the masts and batten down the hatches. The hull will then be pumped out and afterward filled with air. Then if expecta- tions are realized the vessel will come to the surface of her own volition. This was the course pursued in the case of the Earl ot Dalhousie, and as 1t proved a success the chances are that it will be followea again. The bids will be opened to-mor- row and it remains to be seen who will do the work. In spite of the fact that very little of the unfortunate ship can be seen except at dead low water tflmte a number of excur- sion steamers will run out to her to-day. The Caroline will make hourly trips from Mission-street wharf and the Ethel and Marion and the Millie will run from Clay street. All three are sure to carry crowds, as the cbance of seeing the tomb of the six imprisoned sailors will be a drawing cara. As soon as the bodies are recovered the British shipmusters will take charge of the enormous expansive force of perhaps the internal steam forces, why should he not periorm the magnificent dual service them and the funeral will be under tneir auspices. | present time is about $1,500,000. THE JOOST ROAD SOLD, The San Francisco and San Mateo Electric Line Changes Hands. BUCK AND OHLANDT GET IT. Nct a Gocd Show for the hoiders to Recover Their Money. Bond- San Francisco’s first electric railroad, built by Bebrend Joost about six years ago, and known as the San Francisco and San Mateo Railroad, changed hands yes- terday at noon. It was sold at the instance of a judg- ment creditor, and was purchased by John A. Buck and Nicholas Ohlandt for $300,- 000, The sale took place at the Larkin-street entrance of the City Hail by Receiver Sanford Bennett, in virtue of a judement rendered by Superior Judge Seawell, Feb- ruary 6 last, on a foreclosure of mortzage for the unpaid interest of borrowed capital amounting to $1,100,000, the bonds of which were held in trust by the California Title Insurance and Trust Company. At precisely 12 o’clock, Receiver Bennett proceeded to read his authority for offer- ing the road, plant and rolling stock for sale, after which he called for bids. he first offer came from A. F. Morri- son, representing Buck & Ohlandt, and the sum named was $200,000. “Two hundred and five,” said C. C. But- ler, and the bids ran up $5000 at a time till Morrison bid 000, Mr. Butler raised it §1000 and it went $100 at a bid till $296,000 was reached. Butler then raised it $500 and it went up at that rate till Morrison bid $300,000. “Take Mr. Morrison’s check,” said But- 1 er. Bennett tried in vain to get another bid, but it was finally knocked down to Mr. Morrison for $300,000. He announced that Buck & Ohlandt were the purchasers. This road, notwithstanding the difficul- ties it had to contend with in the shape of bad management, has beena paying line. It cleared on an average $4000 a month after paying sll the runningex- penses. Its total indebtedness up to the This is the amount which would be necessary to redeem the bonds upon their face value, but from the manner in which the bonds were issued to the S. 8. Construction Com- pany at the time that C. C. Butler came to the rescue of Joost with coin for the com- pletion of the road after the construction had progressed to a certain point from where Joost could not extricate himself the amount of ready cash was about one- half of the face value ef the{bonds. Henceit is thought that the losses to the bondholders will not be quite so great as if the bonds had been purchased at their face value, which was $1,306,693. Attorney E. P. Cole will resist the con- firmation "of the sale on behalf of his client, A. C. Spreckels. Michael Mullaney, the attorney for Behrend Joost, announced that his client claimed the {ranchise on Sunnyside avenue, and gave notice that certain parts of the road passed over private property beloneing to him (Joost). Mullaney asked jwhether the purchaser would take the road subject to certiin claims that were being litigated, at the same time stating that he had a suit pending against the company for §6000, and also whether the purchaser would assume all such lia- bilities up to the date of the judgment, February 6, 1596. The franchise for street railway purposes on Sunnyside avenue from san Jose avenue westward to power-house is owned by Behrent Joost or his assigns as private property, all of which he claims as his in- dividual private property. To these questions Receiver Bennett made no reply, but proceeded with the sale, and after knocking the road and all its spurs, branches, rolling-stock and real- ty to the purchaser, retired to the City all to receive his check for $30,000. on the basis of 10 per cent purchase money. NEW ATHEBTIC GROUNDS. Work on the Presidio Recreation Park to Be Commenced Monday. Work on the new athletic park, com- prising what was formerly two squares fronting on Baker street, between Fran- cisco and North Point, is to be commenced to-morrow. The grounds have been leased for five years from the Fair estate by the Presidio and Ferries Company, and ar- rangements have been made for an ideal place for all outdoor sports. In further- ance of this design William E. Rockweil, late manager of the Haight-street recrea- tion grounds, has been appointed manager. The park will contain a first-class bicycle track, a cinder path, an immense grand stand with special provision for training quarters and all similar requisi As soon as the grounds are in condition, which will be about the first of June, it is understood the Olymvic Club will use it as its regular training grounds in lieu of its present grounds at the old Haight- street park. The footbail teams are also taking an interest in the grounds, and they will be constructed with a view to their needs. William Kennedy of the Olympic Club has been lending valuable assistance in lielping the directors of the road to plan a park that will meet the favor of athletes. B Big Attractions at Haight Street. If the weather is propitious this afternoon and evening, the log-rolling contest and exhi- bitions announced for last Sunday will be given at the chutes. The entertainments offered are a distinct novelty to San Francisco and the lumbermen, Morris Hernz and Daniel Kirby, who will manipulate the piles, are ex- perts in their business. Just after the band |§e!s through playing in the park, patrons of that big breufiing-plsce may drop in at the chutes and see the big balloon inflated, if the wind is not too high, and the ascension and parachute drop by Emil Markeberg. ———-— The Supreme Court of New York has decided that a surgeon making an autopsy without the permission of the relatives of the deceased is liable to be sued for dnmages: HE CAN HANDLETHEBOW, Frederick Helms Claims He Is the Oldest Fiddler in the Country. He Is 86 Years of Age, and Has Been Compelled to Seek Shelter in the Almshouse. Frederick Helms, who claims he is the oldest violin player in the United States, is in the City Prison waiting his transpor- tation to the Almshouse to-morrow. He and his wife had been living in a lodging-house on Washington and Drumm streets, but as they were in arrears for the rent of their room thelandlord made them leave yesterday afternoon. They got an expressman and with their little belong- ings they drove out to the City Hall to take the van to the Almshouse. but it had gone, so they went to the City Prison. While the old man was in the prison his wife made an excuse that she wanted to see the expressman, and when she got outside she ran westward on McAllister street and that was the last seen of her. Helms says he is 86 vears of age next September. He was born in Hanover, Germany, and came to this country 68 years ago. He went into the show busi- ness and traveled throughout the country with the ‘“‘Pepper’s Ghost,” *Missing Link” and other illusions. He made money but lost it all and blames his two surviving daughters by his first wife for all his troubles. Both are married and one of them is living in Bakersfield and the other somewhere in Oregon. On being asked if his daughters would not support him in his old age he shook his head and said, “they areno good; L needn’t expect any help from them.” For some years the old man has sup- ported himseli and wife by playing the violin in saloons and dives on the Barbary Coast. Business became so dull that he could not make enough to pay his rent and procure food for himself and wife, and the Almshouse was their only hope. One of his precious possessions is his violin, and he was never tired last night of showing how cleverly he could handle the bow, although close on 90 yearsof age. He does not think his wife has deserted him, but believes she will turn up at the prison all right. She was his second wife and they were married sixteen years ago. She is 60 years of age.
