The Androsa Beat the Italian Bark Into Port by Twenty-four Hours. OCEAN GREYHOUNDS ARE NOW RACING The Androsa Beat the Emilie Ciampa Into Port Easily. Captain Potter of the Alden Besse Says He Will Beat the Archer Into Honolulu. OTHER MATCHES IN PROSPECT. Captain Murphy of the Shenandoah Beaten Into Port From the Horn by the Jabez Howes. The British ship Androsa and the [talian bark Emilie! Ciampa had an excit- ing race of it from latitude 16 north to San Francisco. On that occasion they were in company and exchanged signals. Cap- tain Maresta said his vessel was from Ant- werp and bound for San Francisco, while Captain Morgan responded that he was from Caieta Buena, and also bound for San Francisco. The result of the run up the coast was that the Androsa beat the Ciampa twenty-four hours into port. When the two vessels were in company it was only blowing about six miles an hour and there was just enough wind to keep the sails filled. During the night a breeze sprang up and the vessels parted cpmpany to meet again in this port. The Androsa brought up a cargo of ni- trate, and 1t turned out in perfect order. In fact, Herman & Mills, the stevedores, say they never saw a nitrate cargo that turned out as well. she has just come off the drydock should make a quick run. The Androsa has been all around the world during the last eigh- teen months. From Antwerp s.e went to Sundswall, Sweden, in ballast, and from there took a load of lumber to Delagoa Bay. From the latter point she went to Newecastle, N. 8. W., in ballast, and there loaded coal for Vaiparaiso. KFrom Valpa- raiso she went to Pisagua in ballast, and from the latter point was ordered to Caleta Bunea, where she loaded nitrate for San Francisco. A new patent anti-fouling paint was put on her before sha sailed on er eighteen months’ voyage, and it proved so effective that when she went on the Union Iron Works drydock there was bardly a barnacle found on herbottom. Captain Morgan of the Androsa is well known in S8an Francisco. He was here as chief officer of the Somali when Cap- tain Hanney brought her in after Ler lung passage around the Cape of Good Hope. While here the captain of the Androsa died, and Oaptain Morgan was at once offered the vosition. He accepted it and has been in the vessel ever since. Heisa ciever navigator, a thorough gentleman, and, like every true sailor, very proud of his skip. The men on the Alaska Packers’ Asso- ciation’s tender Afognak brm% down the best fisu story on record. hey assert that while they were in Alaskan waters “gne net at one haul’’ took 1n 75,000 sal- mon; that the average weight of each fish was eleven pounds and that the total weight of the silvery mass was 412 tons. Nota bad take for one net, so it is no wonder that the salmon pack is a very heavy one this year. 4 The steamer Zealandia of the Oceanic Steamship Company’s line was towed to Martinez by the tug Fearless yesterday. She has been laid up for some time, but lately made a trip to Central America under charter to the Pacific Mail. A thorough overhauling has been given her at Pacific street, but now that the Aus- trelia is due she had to make way for her, 50 the transfer to Martincz was made. Captain Deering will be in charge of the vessel while she is laid up and be took his wife and family along to keep him com- pany. They will live aboard until the Zealandia again goes into commission. The bark Alden Besse and the barken- tine Archer sailed for Honolulu yesterday. Both vessels are fully loaded and have several passengers each. The captainsare confident that they will make good time ana Captain Potter asserts that he will beat the Archer by twenty-four hours at Jeast. A number of Honolulu people went away on the Archer, and the mem- bers of the Hawaiian band were down to see them off. They played several musi- cal selections and sang a number of native songs, much to the edification of a crowd of about 300 people who gathered to hear the music. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s Mexico will sail for Puget Sound ports tu- morrow, in command of Captain Jepsen. She takes the place of the wrecked steamer Umatilla and will remain on the route until that vessel is launched and repaired. Captain Jepsen is known from San Diego to Flattery as a careful and skiliful navi- gator and” his friends are still congratu- lating him on his promotion. Captain Murphy of the Shenandoah and Captain Clapp of the Jabez Howes poked a good deal of quiet fun at each other yes- terday when they met. Both vessels were in company off the Horn, but the Howes i beat the Bhenandosh into port by ten days, and as an acknowledgment of his uick work John Rosenfeid presented Captain Clapp with $100. After twitting She will take in 3100 | tons of general cargo for Liverpool, and as | Murphy on his long run from the cape Clapp finally evened up things by divid- ing the purse with Murphy. 'he two are brothers-in-law. Captain Murphy bas his wife and daughter with him, and his eldest son is third mate of the ship. Miss Murphy graduated a few weeks before the Shenan- doah left New York, and this is the first trip that she and her mother have made around the Horn in years. The genial skipper has not changed a hair since he was here last, and does not look much older than his son. When the big ship left here on her last trip she took away a number of San Fran- cisco boys as apprentices, In speaking about the matter yesterday Captain Mur- pby said: “Felix Humboldt is now a cadet on the steamer St. Paul, Harry Norris tired of the sea and went into busi- ness with his father in New York, Ross Perkins is now third officer on the s ip Solitaire, Generaux went out in the ship L. Schepp to Japan and may now be back in San Francisco, and Spires is captain of a steamer. Before his appointment he had been promoted to the vposition of third officer of the Shenandoah, so you see the apprentices all did well.” It will be some days before the Shenandoah will be able to deock as it is hard work finding a berth suitable for the big ship. The Monadnock goes to the navy-yard to-day and after a thorough overhauling she will be turned over to the naval batl- talion for a 48-hour drill. The monitor will not go ont of the bay and the men will be specially insiructed in tbe hand- ling of the second batteries and in boat drill. The officers of the battalion will remain aboard the Monadnock about ten days and will receive special instructions in the handling of men and munitions of war. The members of the battalion are tire of the Camanche. 8he is a white ele- phant on their hands and thev don’t know what to do with her. All sheis good for is asa place in which to store their gans, but as a practice boatshe is useless. The members of toe battalion want the Adams or if they can’t get her _they want an efficient crew put aboard the monitor in order to take good care of her, The matter is now being pressed in navy circles and Lieutenani-Commander Tur- ner isin hopes of securing the Adams. The Harbor Commissioners held a short session yesterday. The new ferry depot will be floored with a mosaic similar to that in the Crocker building. Chief Engi- neer Holmes reported that the changesin the thickness of stone and brick in the walls would entail an expenditure of $937. The matter was taken under advisement. Galloway, Townley & Co., who failed in their contract on Main-street wharf and caused the commission an exvenditure of $400 over the contract price, are to be held liable, Their bondsmen have been notified and the shortage will be _collected. Frank Johnson, alias John Wilson, and Nels Johnson, alias Thomas Gill, were caught trying to bunko an old farmer by Detective Graham yesterday. They were locked up in the Harbor police station and will have to stand trial. NEW GAS COMPANY. Articles of other Incorporation of Light Supply Com- pany Filed. Articles of incorporation of a new gas company were filed yesterday. The object of the new concern, from the prospectus filed, is evidently to oppose the San Fran- cisco Gaslight Company. The capital stock of the new venture is $500,000, of which $600 has been subscribed by F. R. Bell, J. H. Lounge and R. C. Semler of San Francisco, Eimer Reed of Oakland, and W. C. Wolie of Los Angeles County, who are also namad as directors for the ensuing vear, sl 12 bl B G EL MISS ASHLEY’S DAMAGES. The Amount She Will Receive, if Any, Now Depends on Judge Slack. All of yesterday was consumed in the closing arguments in the Ashley-Baldwin case in Judge Slack’s court. H. E. High- ton, for the defendant, went over the story told by his confrere, Reuben H. Lioyd, on Thursday. James L. Crittenden, who closed for the plaintiff, quoted the law in the case, and brought to bear all the strong points in favor of his client. The matter is now in the hands of Judge Slack, who will, in the absence of a jury, decide what, if anything, is due Miss Ash- ley from her whilom millionaire admirer. —————— This Week’s Town T: True to its Democratic principles, this week’s issue of Town Talk wages war upon what it believes to be the unserupulous and mistaken methods of its contemporaries in journalism who are working in ihe interesisof other {;almul paries.

[T WANTS THE MARIPOSA GRANT The Exploration Company of London Is Look- ing This Way. Hamilton Smith Coming to Cali- fornia to Buy the Property. MANY MILLIONS IN THE DEAL. Mining Men Are Deeply Interested in It, as It Means a Great Boom for California. Mining circles are all in a flurry over the prospective visit to San Francisco of Hamilton Smith, the celebrated mining engineer and manager. The coming of Mr. Smith involves a deal which may reach $20,000,000, and that is the chief rea- son for the unusual interest evinced in his present movements. He is expected to arrive in this City about November 1, coming direct from London to investigate the Mariposa min- ing grant of 44,000 acres, with a view to purchasing it for the Exploration Com- pany of London, Eng., of which he is the head managing director. The Exploration Company is by far the wealithiest and greatest syndicate engaged in mining in apy part of the world. It is known to be backed by the Rothsehilds, with unlimited resources, and its opera- tions are conducted on such a colossal scale that even princes of finance are astounded at its magnitude. It has many millions of pounds sterling invested in South Africa, where 1ts business far ex- ceeds that of any similar concern. Be- sides, the company has heavy invest- ments in West Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Coast. Quite recently it bought mines in Montana for $34,000,000, The company owns the Alaska Treadwell mine, with 240 stamps; the Alaska Mexi- can, with 120 stamps, and the Alaska Unite;d also the Oneida mine in Amador County and the Lucky Boy in Oregon. Quite recently the well-known California mining man, Thomas Mein, who has as- sociated himself with the Exploration Company, returned to California. He came here und r instructions to hunt for mining interests and to examine the syndicate’s properties. 1t is believed that he investigated the Mariposa grant, and h's advice to the home office in London has resulted in a favorable consideration of the proposition, since Hamilton Smith has been directed to come out here for a personal inspection. The Mariposa grant comprises 44,000 acres in the heart of Mlfl&au County, It came originaily from the Mexican Govern- ment in the form ofa grant to General Fremont, and subsequently it has come into possession of Senator Jones, Alvinza Hayward, the Hobart estate and J. W. Mackay, who paid something like $5,000,- 000 for the property. A large number of mines werg worked on it once, but they have been shut down while still ‘Flylng handsomely. And now these broad acres of goid and silver ores are about to pass into the hands of the English syndicate. The fact that the company intends pur- chasing the property has been admitted to mining men by a co-worker of Mr. Smith. It is regarded of so much significance, the Mining and Scientific Press will say in its issue appearing to-day: The absorbing news of the week is the well- authenticated refon that the Mnli;pou grant has been definitely offered to the Exploration Company (Limited) of London. This is the cor- xfl.nion that fathered the South African gold elds, the Coolgardie mines of West Australia and the g;eat dividend-paying properties of Charters Towers in_Queensland and intro- duced them to the British investiug public. Senator John P. Jones is now on his way from the East to meet Hamilton Smith, the English expert, at San Francisco and escort him oven the grant. During the past year many mining experts have visited the grant and made re- ports, but it is reserved for Hamilton Smith, the highest salaried official of the Exploration Company, to make the final report. The Las Mariposas graut comprises about 44,000 acres on ine direct line of the mother lode, and right in the heart of the mineral belt. The title to the property is derived un- der an old Spanish grant, and was scquired by Colonel Fremont for a wns. After floating around the plains in the San Joaquin, Colonel Fremont finally located his grant in the Sier- ras and cast anchor at Bear Valley. After spasmodic speculation, during which, as a sort of variety show, many actors made their bow, the grant settled down to a policy of mlnlefl; inactivity. The Princeton, Mount Ophir, Pine Tree, Josephine and numerous 'INFANT HEALTH SENT FREE ‘book that should be in every Ao faaciod by the manufacturers g Gail Borden Eagle Brand Condensed Milk N. Y. Condensed Milk Co. Hudson Tew Y TN S 7 other mines were all shut down—shut down at a time when they wnmg-ylng well, because stock speculation in New York had collapsed. The greatest depth attained was at Prince- ton, and that wasonly a trifie over 600 feet. Between Mount Ophir and Bear Valley, some six miles of the mother lode, there has not been a pick stuck in the ground. If the London Exploration Company takes hold of the prop- erty it is probabie that it will make another Witwatersrand of it. The officials of the Ex- ploration Company are nelrl{ all Californians and after trying their wings in foreign climes and acquiring experience they sre getting down to the fact that their native State, along the mother lode, offers greater attractions to the goldxeeker than anything that can be found outside of it. SENT TO STATE PRISON. Criminals Pay the Penalty for Break- ing the Laws. Judge Wallace yesterday sentenced Wil- liam Linehan to imprisonment for life in San Quentin for robbing John Welcome. Linehan pleaded in extenuation that while he was present at the time the crime was committed be took no part in it. Thomas McDonough was given two years in San Quentin for burglary. His attorney pleaded that his client might be allowed to go to sea instead of being sent to the penitentiary, this being his first offence. Judge Wallace, however, said that he does not approve of permitting criminals to escape, and accordingly sen- tenced him, Henry Lindley was given ten yearsin the State prison for burglary. It was his second offense. Norman Schuller, the young man about town who swindled his friends out of thousands of dollars by means of forged notes, pleaded guilty of forgery. He will be sentenced on Monday. LINCOLN CITIZENS ANGRY Marshal Hill Alleges That G. B, Bates of This City Is a Swindler. Detective E. A, Lucas received a letter from Ed Lewis, City Marshal of Lincoln, Placer County, a few days ago, inquiring as to the whereabouts and business stand- ing of one G. E. Bates, formeriy the head of the American Tailoring Company, located at 30 Montgomery street. Hill stated in his communication that Bates had been in Lincoln some time ago, and had there secured orders for suits of clothes from eight citizens, who had made a deposit with Bates and been given receipts therefor signed ‘‘The American Tailoring Company.”” Rince that time none of these men had been able to hear from Bates, and no thread of a single suit had been discovered. Hill further said in his letter that he had been informed that Bates was in Red- ding September 22, and was now headed northward, He was said to have pursued the same business tactics in Redding and other cities as in Lincoln. “On_investigation,”’ said Detective Lu- cas, “'I find that the firm of which Bates was said to be the head broke up about two months ago. The clothing houses in the vicinity, however, say that every day a large pack of mail comes to 30 Mont- gomery street. It is doubtless from per- sons inquiring about suits that never ma- terialized. Marshal Hill says he will have a warrant sworn out and-sent to me at once,” * Bates' description is that of a man about 5 feet 9 or 10 inches tall, 40 years of age or thereabout, dark-brown hair and heavy dark-brown mustache, both shot with gray, and he will weigh about 160 pounds and dre neatly. The men from whom he d to have secured deposits on suits at Lincoln are: Messrs, Babb, Shelley, fuller, Wiles, Wisswell, Hughes, Reese and Vosbure. INOTHER LESSEPS IN CALIFORNIA Prefessor J. Rigaed and His Investments in Placer County. He Was Formerly Director of the Celebrated Mining School at Alais. COMMENDS THE GOLD MINES. He Says in Placer and Elsewhere They Are Rich—May Bring Much Money Here. Professor J. Rigaed, a noted mining en- gineer of France, who is president of the lately organized Ralstons Divide Mining Company of Placer County, is among the arrivals at the Grand. Heis accompanied by M. Trancha of Paris, who is also inter- ested in the company. The gentlemen have for several months been in Placer County, where they have been looking after their mining interests. “Qur property is on Ralston Ridge, near Forest Hill, and between Long Canyon and the middle fork of the American River,”” said Mr. Rigaed. It is placer property, and while we have not bought it outright, we have bonded it and gotit in shape s0 we can do so. “I have had a large experience hitherto in the mines of Europe, but till now have not mined in America. Iam well pleased with what I havo seen of Placer County ana of Ralston Ridge. Of course a good deal of gold was taken out in the early times, but it appears to me there is much there yet. It is in this belief that we are working there now. We onily have ten men em- ployed at present, but this is because we Professor J. Rigaed, Now Here, Formerly Director of the Mining School at Alais, France. are merely getting ready to work. Next year we wilf have a large force. “California, I have found, has won- derful gold resources, and remarkable wealth, too, in its other mineral resources. I am much pleased with the State. It is not presuming too much, I think, to say that the gold resources here are such as to commend the attention of investors gener- ally. Mr. Trancha and myself leave beiore long for Paris.” Mr. Rigaed was for some time director of the famous mining school at Alais, France, and for many years he has been a contributor to the scientific press of the world. It isnot improbable that he will be the means of bringing large amounts of ¥rench capital to California for invest- ment in the mines. DRIVING ASSOCIATION.
