8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 24, 1896 GOLD MINE ON NORTH BEACH, Cradle, Arastra, Pick and Shovel Busy on the Bay Shore. ENRICHING THREE MEN. They Are Separating Platinum, Silver and Gold From Refuse Dumps. WEALTH UNDER AN OLD WHARF Mining the Black Dross and Accre. tions of Smelters at the Abandoned Works. For the last month or two a gold and silver mine has been in full operation on North Beach. From the black dross on the shore valuable metals have been dug, and what was regarded as so much refuse has been found to contain wealth beyond the miners’ expectations. How much of this weasth lies there is purely a matter of conjecture, though experts look forwara to a rich harvest that may take some years to gather in. The strangest part of it all is, nature never placed the precious metals there. They were taken thither some years ago from the Sierras and other mining dis- tricts, and represent a.very slight propor- tion of loss in the refinement of ores and bullion by the Selby Smelting Company. The mine, for such it really is, lies in the dump-beaps of the abandoned Selby Smelting Works on thet shore, between Hyde and Leavenworth streets. Nobody ever dreamed that precious de- posits lay in these refuse heaps, until about two rs ago & young man named | Watkin 3 isiderable skill and knowl refining ores and of mining varion: in it toW.B.C tottering works and the real estate upon which they stood. “I want the privilege of mining over these old smelting works,” he explained. The men spoke of term “That part of it is al enterprising young it on shares or pay 1 aspects, introduced himsel? ,"" replied the “I'll work privilege.” his word and a con- igned. Then Watkins with two experienced min went to work in the ruins. They labored with evident enthusiasm. ip arrangement, and ed with the other in producing ore of rent kinas. Watkins knew many bout abandoned smelting wor , too, was the secret of his pe: nomenal success. One day he got permis- sion from Cluff to take a felt covering off the roof of a shed. ing and refined the ashes, and in it alone got a snug little fortune in gold dust, sil- ver and piatinum. Shortly after this incident he called on Cluff in ore on Sixth street. 50 one the latter’s s “‘Good-by,"” was his laconic greeting. “What's this for? “Well, I've got all_there's in it; I've made enough o are satistied also. He left San Francisco to try his fortune on an old smelter in Idaho, or somewhere in that part oi the country. *‘He made many thousand dollars, but he only raked over the place,” said Mr. Cluff’s manager, Benjamin Duncan. *The men who have gone into the work now are in earnest. They have discovered a mine that was never dreamed of. They lake out gold, silver and platinum in large quantities and are making money fast. The ore or products averages $250 a ton, and there is a tremendous heap to draw from.” The miners who are now delvidg in the refuse came here from Siskiyou recently and undertook to operate on shares with the owners, Messrs. Ciuff & Harris. After making a careful prospect of the premises, one of them went underneath the old wharf to further investigate. The wharf projects into the water about 150 feet and it is wider than it is long. At high tide the waves wash under this structure almost to the fence on the south side of the works at one end. When the tide is out, Lowever, there is a black hump on the strand at this point. Ashes, debris and the recremert of metals dumped from above had accumulated by degrees into quite a respectable headland.” During this slow process the sea washed over the heap at each tide. Thus did nature wash the metais from the light dross, leaving nothing but the vitreous stuff and free minerals to sink in the sandy beach. One may go there and pick up a vitretied cinder containing a chunk of pure silver or, perhaps, the ‘“color” of gold. Any- how, the attrition of the waves left little else than a solid mass of material which has assayed $250 a ton. At low tide this is mined and hoisted to the wharf in buckets and in wheelbarrows. ‘Then, when the rising water prevents fur- ther work, the miners transfer operations to their washing trougzhs and arastras, There is a big pampon the outer edge of the wharf. From it a wooden trough is laid at a slight incline to a cradie. The “dirt” is Pur. into the trough nearest the pump. Water is then pumped upon it and the lighter part washes into the bay. The residue is treated in the cradle and arastra repeatedly, so that little but free metal remains. This is packed and sent to the smelting works 1o Contra Costa County to be melted and refined. To get at the ore the men have to go beneath the wharf and dig as if they were in a natural mine. They have found that the metallii- erous dump heap sank below the level of the sand, its greater weight no doubt hav- #ng pressed the sand and mud away on all sides. A week ago the miners turned their attention to the flues. These lead from where the various smelters stood, and below the surface, to the tall chimney shaft. The interstices of the bricks form- ing those conduits were found to be reek- ing with gold dust and xilver and’ plati- num, and the furnacss and soil around them are also saturated with the precious metals. “They have been talking of puiling down the chimney,” said Mr. Duncan. “They said it contains thousands of dol- lars’ worth of gola in the crevasses and it would pay to tear down the bricks and treat them. 1 understand that the flues are supposed to be quite as rich. The men at work there are taking out some hun- dreds of dollarsa week and have made geveral thourand dollars clear so far. ‘**One would hardlv think that =0 much valuable material should have been over- looked by the smeiting company. But that was how they refined ores in the earlier days. Times have changed since then. Th-old methods were crude in com- parison with the new, and nowadays the abandoned refuse-dump is treated on mod- ern principles and made to yield consider- able gold and silver.” The miners were quite enthusiastic over the work last week. They were digging around the arches at the base of the smoke- stack and cleaning up the “pay dirt” in wheeloarrows. They were constantly add- ing to the supply of minerals stored in a shed to await shipment to Port Costa. It was better than mining in mountains, and ut of it, and my partners f, one of the owners of the | He burned the cover- | i | | cases, from 1861 | the “dirt” paid them more liberally than natural ore would. A watchman armed to the teeth sits in the storage-st.ed night after night with the unrefined treasure, so the mine has its ‘“night shift,”” as all well-regulated mines should have.

The proposition that it is just, right and expedient that women, being human beings, a part of the people, of the taxed and of the governed, should share equally with men in the privileges of self-govern- ment, is by no means a novelty in & con- siderable part of the civilized world. In England and her colonies, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, France, Russia, Siberia, Cape Colony and India, in whole or in part, woman suffrage prevails. Many people do not realize that in twenty-three States of the Union also Kansas, with municipal ge, and three other States with full suff; suffrage all bear testimony that good re- | suits and not evil, to the woman herself, to the home and to the community, follow upon the consistent and equitable applica- tion of the principles of our democratic form of government. Thus it is in no wise an experiment that | California proposes to try in the adoption It was | | i | dates”; “‘both of amendment 11. Yet to the greater number of voters the matter, but recently | presented in this State to publicattention, has come as an ianovation. To the scruples and objections of the conserva- tive the best answer and strongest argu- ment seems to be in the ungualified com- mendation of Governors, Senators, Judges editors, ministers, presidents of political and educational societies, Secretaries of ate and other public officials who have experienced the working of the extended franchise. “Our women consider more carefully than our men the character of candi- olitical parties have found themselves obliged to nominate their best { men in order to obtain the support of the | women’’; “under it we have better laws, better officers, better institutions, better morals and a higher social condition in general” ; “‘not one of the predicted evils, such as loss of native delicacy and disturh: ance of home relations, bas follow i train”; “I Lad the Strongest proju... vossible against it, but what [ have seen has completely changed my opinion. It has worked well and is productive of much g00d”; *our best and most cultivated women vote understandingly and inde- pendently’”’; ‘‘we have hed no_trouble from bad women at the polls. We feared that cultured women would shrink away and the bold and indelicate come to the front in public affairs, but no such thing has happened”; *it does notcause women to neglect their domestic a SR never heard a man complain that his wife was less interested in domestic eeonomy because she had the right to vote and took an interest in making the community re- spectable’”; ‘‘the women have suffered no loss of respect and consideration’;} “my wife voted and now takes a greater interest in public affairs, but her other duties have been just as well performed, she is just as good a wife,” “the women of the best home, of the most social influence and already expe- rienced in systematic charity were the leaders. They uimrly applied their power as good women to the heip of good govern- ment just as they apply it in church and charity work’; “tne presence of women at the polls in their own right as citizens is a benefit to the polls, to the community and has not changed the women any unless for the better’’; ‘‘no unpleasantness is caused in families, the women are as good wives and daughters as before”; *‘the women are as modest as ever and the men have not degenerated.’” Such are the reassuring comments of the most intelligent observers. It is possibly true that there were people in Paris all through the tremendous events of the Revolution who yet remained in ignorance | of that mighty movement toward freedom | and equality. But there is no need tnat any voter in California remain unenlight- ened as to the progress and standing in tbe world of equality for women. The justice of it may not be gainsaid and there 1s not a single sound argument against its expediency. There is not a class of men in existence who would con- sent to occupy the position of political wards and proteges; nor who could resist degeneration and the loss of respect, pub- Jic and private, s.ouid they so consent. It is not strange then that in" the fullness of time the world has moved on into the re- cognition of the necessity for the exten- sion to woman also of all human rights and opportunities. It is as inevitable as the march of the seasons. Centuries ago the seed was planted; silently and unrecognized has it been growing; to-day it is buisting into blossom in the sieht of ali men. A few years more and the wonder be that solely on acconnt of sex invidious distine- tions and artifical disabilities were ever made between human beings. It is in accordance with the trend ol the world’s thought and intelligence to-day, that the different political parties in California are, one after the other, indorsing freedom, justice and equality for women. This in- dorsement has been sincere. There have been certain persons to claim the contrary. But the women who went up to Sacra- mento know the difference between idle compliment and sincere pledged and heartfeit conviction and indorsement. They knew their friends. In the words of one of them: *If you had been there you would know as I do that no insincere flattery prompied those party planks. Deny that every time and everywhere,’’ M. L.

A ROUGH DAY FOR FAVORITES The Win of Peru a Startling Reversal of Form—Hymn Downed His Field Like Breaking Sticks. Razors were temporarily laid away on | the shelf, and the Darktown Derby run at the Bay District Track yesterday. Nine husky colored gem’men whose average weights ranged from 145 to 151 pounds, mounted cn good and bad nags, gave an exhibition. Some few of the riders in the years gone by were shining lights of the saddle, but were compelled by increasing avoirdupois to follow other vocations, such as “‘rubbers,” ‘‘cooks”” and *crap-shoot- | ers.”” The distance was a mile and a six- | teenth over the inside course. Flashlight, | with T. Jackson up, opened a warm 6-to-5 favorite in the betting, but the colored aristocracy considered that he was just a | trifle too warm, and the order was given to unload on C. Brown’s mount, Candor, who was straightaway backed down from 4to 2. Monroe Johnson said he would upset the ‘zood thing"” with Huntsman, and al- though Monroe rode a good race, he had to be content with third place. ‘When sent away, Brown on Candor sent his mount ovt in iront and tried to lose his field. Atone time eight lengths in the lead, the black mare finally won by a neck from Flashlight, who might have won had the reins been rubber instead of leather. There were one or two slight casualties a tendant on the affair. In a false breaka- way, “Cabin Jack” Wilkins, who had the mount on Malo Diablo, was thrown, but alighting on his heud suffered no injury. | Adter pulling up, Mr. Spencer discovered that the legs of his riding pants had | agreed to separate, and was obhiged to lin- | ger in the weighing-room under the judges’ stand until his valet brought him | a flour barrel. The attendance was good and the | slaughter of the favorites awful and com- | plete. Hymn was the solitary winning | one, and he wa3 of the unpronounced | order. Cadenza, imp. Fullerton Lass, | Peru and Veragua ail won at lengthy | prices, fairly well backed. This is espe-| cially true in the case of Peru, who was pounded down from 15 to 6 to 1.

The second race vver a mile, decided un- der selling conditions, saw another favorite bowled over. Scimetar opened an 8to 5 | choice, but receded to 11 to 5, while Little Cripple was hammered down from threes | 10810 5. Hermanita went back in the bet- | ting a point or two. Scimetar, Hermanita and Little Cripple went out in the lead and down the back stretch and around the back turn the trio raced with little advantage | on either side.

The fast sprinter Hymn, who has been rusticaring and enjoying himself among the rollers out at the ocean beach for some Wweeks, made his reappearance as a starter in the race that followed, a five and half a furlong seramble, with eleven going to the Post, and made a show of his company. As good as 214 to 1 was always obtainable about himin the ring, and after leading at one stage of the running by six lengths he nnalli); Ea:sed the stand, eased up two lengths before Road Warmer, a12 to 1 shot TRACK AND PADDOCK ITEMS. Sweet Briar was strongly backed to win the fourth eventon her previous good runs, but made a most disappeinting showing. Road Warmer, the horse that is accred- ited with being a quitter, was coming like a streak at the finish of the race taken by Hymn. He nipped the place from Doubt- ful by a scant head. Elie Perles could not see where Pern figured to havea chance and took a $200 bet from Purser at odds of 12 to 1. Owner Naglee Burk hod a small bet down on his filly Cadenza. 5 It was rumored around that Little Crip- ple was to be ‘‘shoo’ed” in. It was close, Ed Purser had a :ard-luck yarn to relate of the fourth race. Ed gave a French gen- tleman friend of his §10J, with instructions to place the money on Veragua. Thecom- missioner misunderstood the name and placed the amount on Warrago, a7 to 1 chance. Veragua, at 20 to 1, won easily, and the tall plunger was out just $2000. —_— VETERANS IN ST, MARY'S Local Posts of the Grand Army Will Attend Service There. The Line of Procession for Memorial Day Parade Is Decided Upon. A meeting of the committee of the Grand | Army of the Republic having in charge the arrangements for divine service to- night and also for the procession and the exercises at Odd Fellows' Cemetery on next Saturday held a meeting at the head- quarters of the Veterans' Association, on Sansome street, last night. The principal business transacted wasin making final preparations for the mem- bers of the posts and corps of the Women's to attend divine worship at St. | Church, at California and Dupont streets, to-night. | The followiyg posts and corps, through | their rafineclh‘e committees, signified their | intention of being present and taking part | 1n the service: | Lincoln Post, H, W. Mortimer, P. C.; Gar-| field, R. R. Kilgore, P. C.; Colonel Cass, John O'Neill, P. C.; General Meade, J. i P. C.: Liberty, W. M. Park, P. C. W. R Lincoln, Lille’ C. Milne, president; Garfie Addie L. Ballou, president; Meade, Bessie Johnson, president; Fair Oaks Camp, 8. 0f V., | Captain C. S. Howard; Seven Pines Circle, Ladies G. A. R., Pauline Willis, California Gar- and Navy Union. | It was decided that the bodies should assemble in Union-s re Hall, between Gea at 7:30 o’clock | sharp and march in a body to the church | headed by the drum corps of the League | of the Cross cadets with flags and banners of the posts and corps. The line of march for Saturday’s pro- cession has been designated by the grand | marsnal as follows: Starting from Bat- | tery and Market streets, up Market to Golden Gate avenue to Van Ness, thenca one block south to Turk street past the | reviewing stand and from that point to | tue Odd Fellows’' Cemetery, where the | services will be beld. Secretary Lyons read a communication from Colonel C. Mason Kinne, the pur- port of which was that the posts should attend divine service at Plymouth Church, where Comrade J. A. Cruzan would con- duct the service and where the American flag, he said, would give no offense nor the ritual of the G. A. R. be objectionable. He condemn:d the post as a body going to a Catholic church on Memorial day, say- ing that that church had never shown its sympathy for the cause which the G. A. R. held dear. A motion was made and carried by nine ayes against ¢wo noes to lay the communi- cation on the table. “THE CALD" C day, May 23, 1896. Weather fine.

PROMISING MATERIAL.| | A Very Good Showing Consider- | ing Their Limited : Training. STRONG INTERCLASS RIVALRY Middlers Are Finally Victorious After a Spirited and Stubborn Contest. The first annual field-day of the Poly-| technic High School was held yesterday at the Olympic Club grounds. A slim bu enthusiastic crowd witnessed the events from the bleachers. | Although league records were impos- sible owing to the stiff wind the sprinters | had to face on the last stretch, yesterday’s | performances strongly indicated thatthere | was much athletic ability in the school. Many of the contestants yesterday had | trained scarcely any, and many had never | taken part in athletics of any kind what- ever up to within the last few months. | There were severai embryo pole-vaulter: and distance-runners, who, with prope: training, ought to become record-breakers. | However, the winners in every event of yesterday’s contest have the satisfaction | of knowing that they have established a record, for, this being the first field day of the school, the best time or distance made in each event stands as the school record. | Each winner was also presented with a neat silver medal. | The middle class was easily victorious, | having twice as many points as its nearest | competitor, the junior class. The seniors had few men entered, but those few did | good work, the work of W. Healev, athletic captain of the class, being especially | worthy of mention. | The close finish in the mile run was | warched with interest by the crowd on the | bleachers. After a_beautiful spurt on the last lap Kroenke beat Duden by a small distance. The pluck shown by little Healey, a budding athlete of pigmy size, in running out the mile, was loudly ap- pluuded. The 830-yard run was made by ! Pitchford in 2:16 1-5. This time, which is thin four seconds of the Amateur Ath- letic League record, was very good, consid- | ering the wino. Mau showed great ability in the pole- vaalt, easily clearing the roa at heights | where all others failed. Like many of the | athletes, he was entered in a great many | events, otherwise his performance would | have unaoubtedly been much better. and a list of the officials of yesterday’s | tield day—the letters 8, M and J after each | name standing for senior, middle and junior, respectively: 3 100-yard dash, trial heats. i First heat—W. | | tance, 5 feet 1 inch.
