On the night of July A. Boysen, who | lives at Lorin station, Alameda County, and has a store at 223 Eighth street, Oak- land, was in a saloon in the neighborhood of Sacramento and Kearny streets. Two men, one tall and the other short, took him into a rear room, knocked him down and robbed him of a very valuable gold watch and all the money he had in his pockets. They beat and kicked him so 3 | brutally thathe is still confined to his About 2000 Miners and 7oo’bu Stamps Busy on the Lode | in Amador Alone. | | THE WORK ON THE GWIN MINE | Arrangements for a Forty-Stamp Mil'.

He answers the description ot the short man of the two, and Gibson and Wren say they will be able to connect him with the rob- bery. They are now looking for his com- panion. POLK PAID THE BILL. The Architect Settled the Del Monte Claim and Did Not Produce His Books. Willis Polk, the architect, appeared in Justice Groezinger’s Court yesterday in Senator E. C. Voorhes, Who Telis of Mother the Increased Work om the Great Lode. [Sketched from life by a “Call” artist.] been visiting Cripple Creek and other mining centers, and has returned home to renew operations with greater energy and with increased forces of men. He thinks Amador and Calaveras coun- ties bave mining resources that are in every way striking and little short of phenomenal. One enormous advantage over many other regions, he poirits out, is that mining may be carried on every day in the year. He says there is unusnal ac- tivity on the mother lode not only in the vicinity of Sutter Creek, but elsewhere along the lode. “There is almost double the nctivityI that I have seen in many years,” he said | last night. ‘I estimate that tlereare now fully 2000 miners at work in Amador | County. This isa good many fora small | county like Amador. There is more in- quiry, 100, for claims than for years. ‘‘Any amount of prospecting is going on. Many small properties are being | worked, and the mines are in a general way opening out well. The Expioration Company of London is doing a good deal of work. It will take the company three years to sink their shaft. The county is { ever issned by a weekly journal. be a pictorial history of San Francisco, the suit of J. J.
