They Fitted Out an Expedition Last April, but Cooks Inlet Fooled Them. RETURN OF THE PROSPER. Disgruntlel Miners Who Are Not Chary of Murmurs Against Their Recent Chief, The eighteen men who purchased shares in the little schooner Prosper and went on a rold-hunting expedition last April got back home yesterday. They are very biiter againgt the man who induced them to mortgage their homes and use other means of raising money in order to reach the new El Dorado, and should they lay hands on him there will be trouble. The statement of the returned gold-miners is as follows: Last winter & man named F. C. Bender of Berkeley advertised for a party of men to go to the Alaskan goldfields. In answer to in- quiries he informed applicants that he would take them to a claim in Alaska that would pay good-dividends, if not a smail fortupe. Eighteen of us paid him $100 apiece each for & share in his schooner Prosper, in addition to paying for the provisions and ou'fit. We sailed from San Francisco April 6, but stress o _weather compelled us to put into Drukes Bay twice. Owing to dissatisfaciion we returned to San Francisco April 19 and engaged Captain Robert Quinton 1n liem of Captain Holm and sailed again on April 26. We encountered nearly all head windsand gales until May 27, when we anchored near Point Steele, Alaska, and prospecied for two days and found nothing. Bender then in- formed us that his great secret place was Resurrection Bay, to which place we pro- ceeded, arnving June 1. We prospected all around and found nothing. Bender then coolly informed us that there was mothing there. We then deposed him from the man- agement of the business and elected F. E. Corder manager. We then proceeded to Turn- again Arm, Cooks Inlet, and landed after & protracted and desperate battle with the mos- quitoes. We found the whole country locateda, but there were plenty of ciaims to be leased or purchased. We also found hundredsof idle melg and millions of busy mosquitoes, but no gold. Bender had tried secretly to divide the party and abandon the others and start out with two or three of the men on his own account; his scheme did not work, whereupon he abandoned us altogeLher. After prospecting all around the country we finally leased a claim of Martin Chester, on Resurrection “Creek, where we turned the stream and worked the river bed forone week, sluicing, but we found practically nothing. Discouraged and disgusted we then deter- mined to return home. We left Hope City ou August 8 with & number of passengers for Sitka. We encountered head winds and a succession of southeast gales, the most of which occurred on August 29 and 30. We rigged out a sea drag and hove to under bare poles for twenty hours. For the first six nours the wind blew with hurricane force. Captain Quinton, who had weathered many hurricanes, says he never experienced such & gale. But our schooner acted splendidly and single sea broke on board. e reached Sitka on September 6 and left for San Francisco September 11 with fine weather but head winds ali the time, and ar- rived in due time safe and sound. We owe our most grateful thanks to Captain Quinton, who brought us through all right. Corder, H. C. Shock, C. R. Olsen, John . Vorler, C, Christensen, A, F. Flatner, A, E. Corder. * F. C. Bender, a prosperous carpenter, living on University avenue, near Sacra- mento street, conceived the idea of the expedition and succeedea in getting seven otherc ns of Qakland and Berkeley interested in the scheme. These ssven men were F. E. Corder, a foreman in the empioy of the Judson Company; H.C. Shock, an Oakland route-agent for a San Francisco newspaper; Charles Olsen, an employe of the Judson Company; John F. Voyler, an Oakiander; O. Christensen, e San Francisco wharfinger; A.F. Plat- ner, another Oakland man, and A. E. Corder, also of the Judson Company. There were eleven others who became co- partners in the scheme. After prospecting for a while they be- came discouraged and disgusted, and finaily set sail for home, leaving Hope City on August 8. They reached Sitka on September 6, and left for San Francisco on the 11th, arriving Lere last night. Bender has been in the City for nearly two months. On one occasion the miners held a meeting and threatened to lynch him, so he made his escape and came to San Francisco. There is now_sure to be litigation, as the miners hold tne con- trolling interest, and Bender, es tihe holder of a one-third interest, is listed as managing owner. FATHER MATHEW’S DAY. League of the Cross Will Celabrate His Nativity. The League of the Cross will give a grand celebration in honor of Father Mathew, the apostle of temperance, on Fri- day evening, October 9, in Metropolitan Hall. Father Mathew was the father of all modern tem perance movements. Start- ing out in 1838 he preached a crusade against drunkenness throughout Ireland, England and America. On his arrival in this country he was signally honorea by Congress for his great philanthropic work. His birthday w:ll occar on October 10, and the league annually celebratesit. An excellent programme has been prepared. The Very Rev. Father Prendergast will deliver an address on vemperance and the Hon. F. J. Muraskey will deliver a eulocy of Pather Mathew. A chorus of 160 voices of the cadets will sing appropriate hymns. All adult members of the league and friends are invited and admission will be free. On Sunday, October 11, the regiment of the League of the Cross cadets will be vresent at a flag-raising ceremony in St. Francis de Sales schools, Oakland. An outdoor meeting will be held and the cadets will saluts the flag as it ascends. MRS. HEARST SUED. Litigation Over a Needle-Shaped Gore on Lake Stree Old-timers will find a reminiscence of days goue by in the ejectment suit of Wil- liam Hale, administrator of the estate of Mrs. E. W. Moody, deceased, against Mrs. Phoebe Hearst and J. H. Meredith, com- menced yesterday. The property fn dis- ute is a peedle-shaped gore, seventeen eet wide at ics frontage on Lake street and tapering to a point 330 feet to the morth, adjoining the Presidio line. The title to the sc-called *‘outside lands,” of which the property in dispute was once 8 pa!"t, was by Congress con- veyed io the City in trust for whoever might be the occupant or occupants of such lands on Mareh 1, 1866. Mrs. Moody and a man nemed Daniel Ryan are each claimed to have been the lezal occnpants of the land in question. Mrs. Hearst’s claim to the property is based on a deed from Ryan to the late Senator Hearst. Meredith’s claim arises out of the convey- ance to him of a part _interest in the land from Mrs. Hearst. When tue streets were laid out through the outside lands numer- qus gores and angles were formed, of which this is ome. The present money value of the piece of Iand is small “the bay. AV :’?:““:; et < OCTOBER 4, 1896. ~— The American Ship Centennial, That Had to Come Around the Cape of Good Hope in Order to Reach San Francisco, and the Schooner Prosper, That Brought Back Eighteen Disgruntled Gold- Hunters From Alaska. Both Vessels Got in Yesterday. NEARLY MADE A NEW RECORD The Centennial Was Two Hundred Days From New York. Captain Colcord Had to Take His Vessel Around the Cape of Good Hope. MORE MINERS RETURN. Arrival of Two Schooners From Pros- per—One From the Alaskam Fisheries—Varying Luck The American chip Centennial got in from New York yesterday. On one occa- sion she was in desperate straits, and the cargo shifted. The captain put into Montevideo and repaireda damages. revort of the voyage is as follows: Sailed from New York March 17. On March 29, in_iatitude 39 deg. 40 min. nocth, longi- tude 70 deg. west, had several fresh gal Took east trade winds in latitude 24 dey north and carried them to the equat Crossed the equator on April 17. Had fresh southesst trades thence to latitude 20 deg. south. Had light variable winds to latitude 37 deg. south. Had a heavy west- southwest gale, with & hizh cross-sea. Ship laboring heavily, filling decks to the rail and getting waler in the main tanks, and shifted cargo. < Had to run the ship before the wind 250 miles to trim cargo. Put into Montevideo on May 21 and sailed on the 31st. Had the usual weather in the South Atlan- tic. Prssed Capeof Good Hope on June 23. Crossed the Indian Ocean in latitude 38 to 39 south with cloudy weatber and westerly gales. On August 3 passed through Bass Straits in South Paclfic; had moderate south winds. Passed to the northwerd of New Zealand and 1o the eastward of the Friendly Islands. Auguest - 10 took southeast trades, which were very light and well to the eastward. Crossed the equator on Auzust 28 in longitude 160 west. Had light northeast trades from 1atitude 2 north to latitude 32 north. On Sep- tember 7 passed four miles 10 the westward of Nuhau Islands. In the North Pacific had very light winds. Considering that the vessel wentaround the Cape of Good Hope, she made a smart passage. rhere is the usual amount of grumbling- aboard and Captain Colcord had to putsome of the men in irons in order to maintain discipline. The trip around the Cape of Good Hope was a long one, but the ship has made better time than some of the vessels that left before her, considering the distance covered. The Centennial is now an old timer and the chances are that she will never make another trip around the Horn. When her cargo is discharged she will probably be sold to the highest bidder. There are two schooners Prosper in port. One is from the Alaskan fisheries and the other is from the Alaskan gold mines. The men on the former made over §$100 bonus, while those on the latter are $100 and more out of pocket. The Centennial was lying at anchor in the stream when the gold-hunters passed up the bay in the Prosper. The gasoline schooner Monterey, which gotin from Bowens Landing yesterday, went on the Presidio shoal on her way up It was during the fog and’ the captain did not consider the matter of sufficient importance to hire a tug. The vessel was light and on the next tide she driited off and went to her dock. The steamer Mariposa is one of the bandsomest steamers on the water front. Yesterday she was in holiday attire and looked as spick and span as a_yacht. She had been newly painted and the brass- work around her deadlights flashed in the sun like burnished bronze. Asthe Zea- Jandia is to go out of commission, Captain Hart, who was her commander, will go out as chief officer of the Mariposa. The passengers who were on the Uma- tilla when she went on the rocks in Puget Sound bave sent the following letter to The | C. Love, Riverside, Cal.; Walter Taylor, Berkeley, Cal.; C. Axten, N. E. Leale; C.J. L. Helvenson, chief officer steamship Transit; Andrew Myer, D. Baulet, H. D. Chantrell, M. J. C. Tomlinson, Miss M. Miller, Tacoma ; Mrs. C. H. Btevens, Douglas Island, Alaska; Gus Schlehman, A. W. Nixon, Mrs. A, W. Nixon, Mrs. J. A. Wall, Mrs. H. T. Mayo, Miss L. B. Thompson, Mrs. B, Mason, Dan Lnbliner, C. P, Melntyre, L.W. Selber, Miss Blanch Cheesman, Miss Edith Boyle. The bark Leon, formerly the Nicaraguan bark Don Carios, is now loadea with lum- ber and anchored in the stream, bound for Fremantle, Australia. The lumber is for the Coolgardie gold mines, and should bring good prices there. The Leon was purchased from the estate of Nick Bichard some time ago by Joseph Hume. The .latter sold her to J. J. Moore.& Co., ana it is the latter firm that bas loaded her for Australia, The Don Nicholas, a sister ship to the Leon, isnow an ark at Tiburon, and the widow of the deceased Nick Bichard is using it asa residence. A private letter from the bark Gayhead shows that Captain Foley has done well so far. By the last steamer the whaler sent down 2293 pounds of bone, and there is now over 1300 pounds more on the way. After her first shipment from Dutch Har- bor, the Gayhéad could not set out again on account of calm weather. The revenue cutter Rush towed her twenty-five miles out to sea, and almost as soon as the lines were cast off a whale was sighted. Boats were lowered from the. Gayhead, and the mammal was captured. The bone was sent ashore on the revenume outter, and Captain Foley headed for the Arctic. ccording to the letter, the steam whaler William Bayliss had riot been hav- ing a good time. The crew had mutinied, and the captain had had to make the best of the situation. One whale was taken, but the prospects for a successful season were not good. James Milder, mate of the steam schooner Crescent City,does not wantany more bicycle riding. Last trip he took a “bike’’ along with him and on his arrival at Crescent City went out to astonish the natives. According to him he col- lided with a bear but others say it was a caif. In any event the bicycle is ruined and Milder says he will never ride again. STILL TWO ACHING VOIDS The Citizens’ Non - Partisan Ticket Has a Couple of Blanks. H:adquarters in the Nuc'eus Build- ing Have Been Secured by the County Committee. The Non-Partisan Connty Committee, appointed on Friday night by .Georga K. Fitch, chairman of the Non-Partisan Con- vention, held its first meeting yesterday morning in ex-Mayor Ellert’s office. The first business undertaken was the election of officers. Mr. Fitch was unanimously chosen chairman of the committee, with A. 8. Hallidie as vice-chairman and L™ Milliken 'as secretary. The two blanks on the ticket were al- lowed to remain, the committee not being able to agree regarding nominees to the Assembly from the Thirty-sixth and Forty- third districts. McGrath, the proposed candidate from the Thirty-sixth, was not indorsed because he refused ¢o sign the pledge exacted by the convention, while Dennery, the man suggested for nomina- tion from the Forty-third, was dropped from the list on motion of E. J. Le Breton, who said in ganeral terms that he was most objectionable for a number of reasons. . The committee is making preparations for a_vigorous campaign. A candidates’ meeting is to be held in the near future, whereat routes will be prepared for speak- ers and otber plans for campaign work formulated, Commodions headquarters for the com- mittee have been secured in the Nucleus building, at the junction of Third and Market streets, east of Tue CALL'S new building.

DOWN ON ELECTORAL COLLEGE An Hour of Anecdotes and a Plea for the Wandering Candidaté From the Platte. There was a Democratic gathering at Metropolitan Temple last night which was largely permeated witk Republican sentiment, judging by the coldness with which some of the attacks on McKinley and protection were received. Franklin K. Lane called the meeting to order, and he was followed in a brief ad- dress by Charles 8. Peery, candidate for Assembly in the Thirty-eighth District, though Robert Ferral was the princi- pal speaker of tne evening. Mr. Eane held that the election of Me- Kinley would be *not for the Nation’s honor, but for its destruction; not for the glory of our flag, but for its disgrace.” Continuing in that line of illustration the speaker said: “The corporations, trusts and monopolies are opposed to Bryan, so that he now becomes a hero, the champion not of free silver alone, but of the free ballot.” Candidate Peery followed in a brief but pleasing address, wherein he held that he was of the opinion that partisanship had happily been forgotten this yearin the wider realm of citizenship. “We have broken away from the old lines,” he said, “‘and the grand old party was proad and courageous enough at Chi- cago to break away from the evil influ- ences that controlied it as they had in- fested the Republican party.” The senti- ment was cheered and the speaker con- ciuded with an appeal for “‘Bryan and liberty. When ex-Judge Ferral was presented there were three cheers for him. The veteran of bourbonism gracefnlly bowed his acknowledgment to the acclamations of the galleries and proceeded to entertain the andience with a number of his cam- paign anecdotes, revised to date, The apeaker saia he was in bad voice, and he begged the audience to excuse him from discuasing the silver question seriously. “‘Now they are bolding my poor friend Barnes responsible for his silyer speeches, put they are wrong. Barnes came out for silver on St. Patrick’s day, and any man who holds another responsible for St. Pat- rick’s day utterances is unfair. [Laugh- ter.] But people are changing the other way. I pledge you my word that in thirty ears I have never seen so many changes. %ha country is alive with silver Demo- crate, men who would die for Bryan, In Los Angeles alone there are 2500 Re-. publicans in one Bryan club, and that shows how the State will go. Iwud yells and great cheering.] “Now tnere are Republicans in Maine and Vermont; Vermont, the Green Moun- tain State. I think it isthe greenest State in the Union [laughter], but if you put up the Maine and Verment majorities against those of Arkansasand Alabama you will be snowed under by 20,000, and nearly two to one in the Electoral Uohege." The speaker then explained that the Chicazo platform was too tame for him. ©I wanted it to be a wild outburst of radicalism,”” he said, “so that it would/ stand forth beyond question. I wanted it to do away with the two-thirds rule and ask for the abolishment of the Electoral College, a thing that throttles freedom in this counu-{.” The speaker answered the objection that Bryan was a young man, by naming Clay, Jsr&erwn. Patrick Henry, Willlam Pitt, Robert Emmet and others who become great ere they grew old. He dwelt on the benetits of the income tax, touched gin- gerly on free trade, denying that the Wil- son bill was such a measure, and then pleaded for everybody to give Bryan a fair chance because *‘he is brave and manly.” He believed Lincoln was right in fear that this country wonld into the bands of the very wealthy and that the poor would be enthralled. In conclusion the ex-Judge pleaded for an American financial system and prophe- sied that any other scheme would result in utter subjection to f nations. He ke of the Populist convention as‘‘a glorious and independent body of states- men” and concluded with an extravagant hands. when Dr, Mustbe is in reach. it.
