THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1896 THEL AL WANT £ GOLD PROPERTIES s Bfitish Mining Men Believe We Will Soon Have a Boom. All the Properties on the Mother Lode Are Now Bonded. LOOKING FOR HAMILTON SMITH J. B. Irving of Englani oa the Mining Situation—California Develop- ment Company. J. B. Irving, a mining engineer of Lon- don, who for some months has been ex- amining into the gold mines in ontlying districts of Cahfornia with the view of making investments, is at the Grand. Mr. Irving has spent a great deal of time on the mother lode, especially in Mariposa, Calayeras and Tuolumne counties. He says that British mining men are looking with interest to the goid mines of California. They believe we are on the edge of a great mining boom, and if there vas at the present time one or two great strikes, the interest wou:d become extra- ordinary. The set:lement of the financial question in the United States, he recounts also, will greatly help this country, especially as to the price of railway :tocks and other se- curities. In miniug, too, it will be rather an aid than otherwise. “'1 have been over the mother lode a Tzqfl deal since my arrival,” said Mr. rving, ‘‘and have pretty generaily in- formed myself as, 10 the properties there. There has been a good deal of interest in mining claims for some time there, and it has taken a practical form in that nearly everything on the lode has been bonded. “Those who got the bonds anticipated that there would be lively times and got *in ahead and secured the property. You can hardly drive along anywhere now on the lode that you won’t find the property taken in this way. *‘You won’t find much of it sold. There is little of that, but there has becn an en- ormous amount of bonding. I should say * things were in good shape for 8 boom in California gold mining. “If the London Exploration Company closes in full the contract for the great Mariposa grant, as is expected when Hamilton Smith arrives here, it will do more tban any other one thing, I think, to enlist the interest of British mining mep in California. On the Mariposa grant there are probably a dozen mines, and each one of these will be capitalized .seperately and the stozk sold in &:ondon. These mines will all be worked, and one WEy and another great good ought to re- sult to California from them. “It is the policy of the Exploration Company to organize smalier comnpanies in this way. The California Development Company, which was lately organized and which is understood to belong to the Ex- ploration Company, has a great deal of property in Tuolumne County. Driving along there you see their white stakes in meany places. “I'am of the impression that gold mining here will during the next year or two be quite active. By the end of tnat time there may be such discoveries as will cause a rush to the goid regions here wh ch will be something like the rush to South Africa and Australia. It is certain thata great deal of bonding has been done on the strength of a belief in a boom in mining.” Mr. Irving is somewhat reticent as to just what he is doing in mining. He has - lately been in the vicinity of San Andreas. It is expected that when Hamilton Smith gets here, as he will do now in a few days, all the mines on the whoie 43,000 acres of the Mariposa grant will be started up. This will give employment to hun- dreds of men, THEIR FEES CUT DOWN, Judge Coffey Allowed Attorneys Moore and Barry but $15,000. 4 J{ They Originally Asked $37,500 for Services to the Pearsons .Estate. From $37,500 to $3010 is the reduction Judge Coffey yesterday made in the fees asked for by the attorneys engaged in the litigation over the estate of Hiram A. Pearsons. J. H. Moore, the legzal adviser of the executor of the estate, and Colonel Barry, representing the absent heirs, some time ago put in ciaims, the former for $25,000 and the latter for $12,500. His Honor, however, decided that Barry was entitled to but$5000, and as he has already received that amount that he may now sider that the estate owes him nothing. Mr. Moore stands charged with $6690, so that be will have to content himself with an additional $3010. There was & large attendance of attor- neys in Juage Coffey’s courtroom yester- day afternoon when the Pearsons case was taken up and they spent ar anxious hour awaiting the decision of the court. His Honor held that most of the services for which Mr. Moore asked for remuner- ation were duties which should have been verformed by the executor of the estate, and that while he did not doubt their value he conid not under the law ses the way clear to making the estate pay Mr. Moore for them. He said the attorney should look to the executor for his pay. With reference to Colonel Barry’s claim, it was remarked on going over the ac- count, that he had performed duties which should have b en delegated to the attoroeys representing other interests than those which he was appointed to defend. Judge Coffey proposed, bowever, that the various orphan asylums the duties of whose lawyers had been performed by Colonel Barry should present to him a statement of the amounts they were to have paid to their !awyers, and that he would allow to Colone! Barry that amount out of the estate. The lawyers whose fees were thus to be wrested from' them were Joseph Hatchinson, represeniing the San Francisco Ladies’ Protective and Relief Soctety; G. W. Haight, representing the San Francisco Protestant Orphan Asylum; Joseph Naphtaly, representing the He- brew Orphan Asylum; A. M. Drown, rep- resenting the Maria Kip Orpbanage; and A. H. Loughborouzh and M. C. Hasslett, ¢ {ue!entiflg the Gatholic Orphan Asylum. W hen Judge Coffey made the announce- nt just stated Colonel Barry imme- lely disclaimed that the services he haBrendered should have been performed by his confreres and disclaimed putting any such light on the matter, but quickly subsided when it became apparent to_him that the court -was indulging in a littie quiet fun at his expense. Garret McEnerney objected on behalf | T / of his clients to the seitlement of the ac- count of the executor, including the items of §75,000 distributed to the different orpban asylums under the order of court, which order was subsequentiy overruled by the Supreme Court. {1 was decided to 80 arrange that partiai distribution may be nad on Tuesday next, when two-thirds of the estate will be turned over to the beirs, a sufficient amount, however, being retained in the hands of the executor to meet the charity legacies and possible future expenditures. The question of the setilement of the executor's account will come up on November 17. e TEACHERS AND TALK. Dissatisfied About Lecturers and Pen- slons—A Principal’s Beard. Yesterday afternoon’s session of the Teachers’ Institute was taken up by an ad- Cress delivered by Professor Raymond, formerly of Illinois. The subject chosen was: “Drill and Conquest; a Comparison of Military Methods and toe Progress of Education.” Professor Raymond was introduced by Superintendent Babcock, who prefaced his remarks by saying that the teachers had better take a zood look at Joe O'Con- nor, principal of tne Horace Mann School, who having lost an election bet will sacri- fice his beard. Fvery cne who has seen his sweeping hirsute appendage will know that the carrying out of the bet will in- volve considerable sacrifice and devotion to_principle on the part of Mr. O'Connor, There is much complaint among the teachers about the speakers, or “half- broken-down educators,” as they prefer to atlude to them, hat are chosen to address the institute. In other counties the schools are given a vacation during the sessions of institutes, which last three days, but in this City it is quite different. The pupils are dssmissed at the noon hour and a certain n' mver of afternoons are taken to make up the requisite times The teachers com plain that ‘he speaker. chosen are not practical and generally what they have to say has no reference to school life. They would much prefer that the speaker should be chosen ifrom their own schools, and considerii a pity to be calling on ouiside speakers, who ‘‘talk with a snuffle and can’t break away from their notes.” Tue Superintendent of Schools is, they say, not to biame in the matier, as the men chosen to speak come to him with strong letters of indorsement and beg the privilege ot addressing the teachers. Although the great body of teachers attend the se-sions, they feel ihat littie benefit is derived, and generally come armned with tue newspapers and a baich of yarn, After the adjournment of yesterday’s session there was a meeting of teachers interested in the pension bill passed by the last Legislature. They were there for the purpose of introducing an amendment to the bill and to form a committee to meet with the Board of Education and de- cide as 10 the capacity or incapacity of the teachers applying for pensions. 7The amendment was suggested by the fact that manv principals urge teachers to ac- cepl u pension so as to make a vacancy in the School Department, and it was hinted at that many are drawing pensions.not really entitied to th m. BOWEN MUST ANSWER, The Murderer of Frank Jones Will Stand Trial in the District Court. Defense Offers No Evidence, but Con. fident of Acquittal in the Higher Tr bunal. The preliminary hearing of Henry P. Bowen, who killed Frank Jones, second officer of the sealing vessel Baleana, at Herschel Island on September 1 iast, oc- curred before United States Commissioner Heacock yesterday. The accused was hela to answer before the District Court to the charge of murder. Assistant United States Attorney Bert Schlessinger conducted the case for the Government, though little il any evidence other than what has already been pub- ished wasintroduced. It was shown that Jones had provoked the quarrel, though just preceding the shooting he had ex- pressed a willingness to let the whole affair drop. Captain Williams of the Balaena was probably the strongest witness offered by the Government. He swore that on July i5 Bowen had threatened to kill Jones, which threat the captain thought of suffi- cient importanca to enter in the logbook. On cross-examination it was developed that on the day in question Jones had choked Bowen, but the captain had not made a note of it, because ‘it would take up a page.” 1t was also brought out that Bowen had told Captain Williams that he (Bowen) was willing to let the matter drop if Jones was willing. The remaining jwitnesses examined by the Government were John Mapes, An- tone Lopes and Arthur Huntley, all offi- cers of the Balaena. They swore to the fact of the killing, and as to the frequent quarrels between the two men. Lopes said that just after the shooting Bowen had given I'im a package of papers and books (o throw overboard, and that he had done as requested. The witness could give no information as to what the papers contained. The Governmentat this point announced its case as closed, whereupon Atiorney ‘Wilson, representing the ae‘endant, said be had no evidence to offer in rebu'tal at that time. Commissioner Heacock then ordered the prisoner into the custody ot the Marshal, pending the hearing of his case in the United States District Court. ————— Mason Given Eighteen Months. Edward Mason, who last week was convicted in the United States District Court of using the mails for fraudulent purposes, must serve a term of eighteen months in San Quentin and pay & fine of $500. This is the sentence im- posed by Judge Morrow yesterdsy. Some months ago Mason wrote to Mrs. Caroline Christie of Warren, Mass., to the effect her son, Everett Christie, had been injure: & railroad accident and was suffering for life’s necessaries, 7The writer thought that $100 would about fill the biil, and this sum was accordingly forwarded. Mrs. Christie’s confl- dence in on was considerably strength- ened by the fact that he signed himself ‘Speriff of Truckee County.” Mason attempted to play the same game on Miss Christie, but that lady was not to be so easily caught. She wrote to the Postmaster at Truckee and then the whole fraud came to light. Mason had never met young Christie, but knew that his arents were” wealthy. Acting on this in- lormation he played on the sympathies of the mother to the tune of $100. ———————— The Jave Gray Case. The case of the United States againstthe sealing schooner Jane Gray was submitted to Juage Morrow yesterday for decision, the arguments on both sides having been con- cludéd. Assistant United States Attorney Sam Kuight closed for the Government. He feels confident of winning the case. The suit for the forfeiture of the vessel and cargo is sur- rounded with many intricate legal detailsand, in a way, Is of Internationsi importance. Hence Judge Morrow’s opinion will be eagerl; watched for by those interested in suc matters. e Clever and Clean. Town Talk makes its appearance this week with its customary excellent table of contents, clever and clean. The evenis of the past few deys have been unusually exciting, and they are discussed ‘editorizlly in a logical and dis. assionate manner.

This Will Bz the Main Object of His Admimstra- tion. THE DECK5 ARE ALL CLEARED. Adoption of Constitutional Amend- ments Will Give the Citizens a Chance to Act. James D. Phelan, the newly elected Mayor of San Francisco, was busy receiv- ing guests yesterday. He acknowledged the congratuiations of his friends and supporters with becoming modesty and ments referring to the government of the City and County of San Francisco have been adopt«d, for this action by the people clears the deck for action in such a way that a new charter may be adopted within two vears. Such is my opinion. I notice that City Attorney Creswell holds to the opinion that a special election cannot be called 1o choose a Board of ¥reeholders to irame a charter, but can be calted only to fill a vacancy, but I think he ismistaken. Tha! quesiivn will be investigated fullv and the courts wili probabiy be cailed upon to pass upon the maiter, provided other arrangements are completed for proceeding with the framing of the proposed charter. “Everybody knows what a lamentable condition our City Government is in at the present time owing to the frequent and conflicting amendments to the coa- solidation aer, under which we are trying lo conduct our municipal business, sup- plemented by the almost innumerable decisions of the courts in regard to dis- puted points. I do not believe it is possible forany oneto deciie intelligently just what the present system of municipai law pro- vides. Thisisshown by the frequenev of the appeals made to the courts for interpreta- tions of provisions that ought to be clear to every citizn. “There are other things that are worthy of atiention by the Mayor, and to them 1 shall bring whatever ability I may possess. “I have made a campaign against the waste and extravagance which is the cause of high taxation existing now in our City government, and I have not hesitated to point out tie betrayal of the City’s inter- ests by the Board of Supervisors. I be- lieve that the public on Tuesday elected good men to the Board of Supervisors. I think it is the best board that has been chosen for a long tume. T am well satisfied with the personnel of the incoming Board of Supervisors. ; “l have made a campaign against the i HON. JAMES D. PHELAN, Mayor-Elect of San Francisco, Who Wants a New Charter. £aid he hoped to prove worthy of the con- fidence that the people have reposed in him. The quiet habits of Mr. Phelan are well known. He dresses in a style becoming a man of wealth, wears a well-fitting busi- ness suit of dark material, with a carna- tion pink in the buttonhole of his sack coat. He adopts the regulation standing collar, but is not extravagant in the mat- ter of neck-scarfs, though they are always hand-tied and of solid colors. He smokes good cigars and lives well. Mr. Fhelan said it was his earnest desire and purpose to be an acceptable Mayor to all the people, Democrats, Republicans, Populists, and members of other parties alike, for the vote he received made it manifest to him that party lines had not been drawn in the balloting for Mayor. There is a cozy, comfortabie air about Mr. Phelan’s office on the fifth floor of the Phelan buiiding, and every politician in the City will know in a week that the number of his room is 301 As a gentleman of taste who is able to gratify ali of his reasonable wishes Mr. Phelan has surrounded himself with many admirable objects of art. The most important work is a landscape by William Keith, showing a vista under the dark overhanging trees that Keith loves so well to shadow forth on his rich canvas. In a prominent position is a bust of the late James Phelan, father of the newly elected Mayor. It is of pure marble, is the work of an eminent scniptor, and stands on a graceful base of lapis lazuli beneath a portrait of the same gentleman, Other tokens of the future Mayor’s filial devotion are to be seen 1n different parts of his office. Amonz the art treasures are fully a dozen oil paintings and sketches in crayon and water colors by teachers and students of the Hopkins Art Institute, while a place of honor is accorded to a pen and ink cartoon by Frank A. Nankivel, for- merly of THE CALL’S art staff, represent- ing the untimely cutting down of a prom- ising Cupid by a staiwart voung Amazon wearing a modern bloomer costume, Mr. Phelan is an eligible bach elor, and his choice of this suggestive theme may be noted with advantage by the young ladies who have the pleasure of his ac- quaintance. Above a carved bookcase is perched a bronze bust. ‘1 bought that for a Na- poleon,” said Mr. Phelan, “but I have seen better. From this distance it looks more like Major McKinley or General de Ypuflz than it does like the great Corsi- can. In a nook slightly withdrawn from pub- | lic gaze is a beautifully mounted terres- trial globe, which may or may not indi- cal the scope of Mr. Phelan’s prospective bitions. Certainly i he had been king for the earth” in the recent cam- paign his fellow-citizens by a larze major- ity manifested thewr willingness to grant his request. When asked what special objects would receive his attention during his adminis- tration Mr. Phelan said that if there is one thing he would like to accomplish it would be the framing and adoption of a suitable and acceptable charter for the City of Ban Francisco. “This proposed charter could not be put in force during my term of ofllu‘ and therefore I am free toadvocate it,’’ said Mr. Phelan. *If we can get the Uity on the ri ht road for self-government it will be the greatest accomplishment for gobd that can be sug-ested so far as municipal affairs are concerned. “Ire ard the adoption of & new charter of paramount im runoe’ and h the lesson taught by Tuesd 1y’s eiection an in- strument ought 1o be framed, 1 think, that would be acceptable to the majoriy of the people. By el minating some of the ob- jectionable provisions of the char er just feated and remodeling other pa in order 10 better subserve the public w the work ought to be accomplished. “I regard it as a fortunate thing for this comimunity that the constitutional amend- qulsi—ll;uhlic corporations, not because Ido not believe they have rights, but because I know they bave duties toward the public which they have not performed. They should keep their hands off the Board of Supervisors; they should pay their just share of taxation; they should char e only reasonable rates for their service, and now, having been elected by the public, without any assistance :rom this source whatever, Iam iree to deal with them as the repre- sentative of the City. ‘“*Actuated no less by a sense of duty than a sense of the deepest and most pro- found gratitude to the people who have expressed their confidence in my candi- dacy I shall endeavor torepresent the City faithfully upon all occasious. “Under the power of supervision of the several offices conferred by the consolida- tion act I will see that the municipal of- fices are conducted without extravagance, waste, favoritism or corruption; that the taxation be placed where it belongs, and that the revenue of the City be expended for the economicsl maintenance of the municipal establishments and for the general progress and welfare of our great City."” Mr. Phelan says that his plan will be during his term of office to keep the citi- zens informed on all matters pertaining to their public interests, and by thus taking the people into his confidence he expects to induce them to co-operate wit him in advancing the welfare of the community. COURSING. Postponement of the Ocean View Meeting—Two Stakes for Ingle~ side To-Morrow. Owing to the action of some malicious person in cutting the fences surrounding Ocean View Coursing Park on Wednesday night and permitting all but a few of the bares to escape, there will be no runnin at that popular resort to-morrow. Al preparations had been made for a fine meeting, which was assured by the pre- vailing pleasant weather, but as time pre- cluded the importation of a new lot of jacks the management was reluctantly compelled to send out notices to those who were training dogs for the event that the meeting was postponed. It was the original intention to close on Sunday, the 15th inst., out of courtesy to the Interstate Club, which goes to Mer- ced on the day previons, but most of those who had hounds in training have earnest- Iv requesied that the postponed meeting be held on that du;} and their demand has been acceded to. The meeting is also in- tended to accommodate the large number of leashmen who cannot afford the expen- sive trip to Merced.

Mayor-elect James D. Phelan will act as referee, assisted by Charles G. Yale, who has acted as referee in 80 many boat races of the past. The races will be rowed in Oakland Creek, probably the best course on the coast. The start will be from a point about a quarter of a mile from the foot of Broadway, and will be a mile and a bhaif long with a turn, except in the old-timers’ race, which will be three-quarters of a mile straight away.

Presidefic Burns was back again in the chair. A notification was received that the American Federation of Labor will hold its sixteenth annual convention at Cincin- nati December 14. It was placed on file and the question of sending delegates re- mains undetermined, The Sailors’ Union reported that the threat of the shipowners to reduce wages has been carr.ed into execution, inasmuch as an order to that effect has been issued and will go into effect in the near future. Printers and theatrical stage employes reported that business in their line was fair. The ironworkers gave an adverse report. The 8. D. Worden committee reported that Congressman James G. Maguire and Editor James H. Barry bad consented to visit Governor Budd in his behalf, and advised that A. Furuseth, secretary of the Sailors’ Union, be sent with them as a direct represeniative of the Labor Coun- cil. The report was concurred in and made progressive. The resolution committee of the State Labor Convention will meet Weanesday night at 9153 Market street to draw upa call to the unions of this City with a view of solidifying the labor movement. ———————————— SEEKING AN ACCOUNTING. J. H. Smith and the Financing of the Ferries and CLiff House Road. The case of J. Howard Smith against the Ferries and Cliff Railway wa« argued orally in the Supreme Court yesterday. The case was submitted once before and was ordered resubmitted. Mr. Smith seeks an accounting for the purpose of de- termining how much the road actually cost, how it was paid for, under what cir- cumstances, and to what amounts stocks and bonds were issued and how they have been disposed of, and all other facts con- cerning the financing of the road. The arzuments occupied the entire day, P. J. Galpin, Mr. Smith, Robert Y. Hayne, E. F. Preston and C. P. Eells, the last three named representing the railway company, being in court. This litigation has been in progress five years. The present phase is a demurrer which Mr. Smith asks the Supreme Court to overrule. The railway company's at- torneys argued in opposition to Mr. Smith the statute of limitations, and also that M. Smith, having receive. some of the stock after a certain date, was not qualified to bring suit against the directors. The case was submit ed.

Which Was, He Says, in Keeping With the Dirty Work by Which He Was Defeated. Cord J. Wetjen has written a communi- cation for the information of tis friends and the public generally, which is as follows: Editor Call: 1 am informed that some un- scrupulous rascal or rascals circulated a report that I had committed suicide. The rumor was first circulated Thursday morning, and notwithstanaing that every effort was made by my friends to deny it, it was persisted in all that day and the next, thereby proving that it was something more than a hoax. Myse.f and nuwmerous friends are endeavoring 10 trace up the source of this detestable “‘joke,”” and I desire to say to my friends and (he pub.ic that I expeet to have sufficient evidence in a short time to make things interesting for those who ure guilty of this dasiardly attempt to irighten iy 1amily and {njure my reputation as & man. 1 desire to say to my {riends, ough your valuable paper, that I have not committed suicide and do not intend to do anything so cowardly. Ii the party or parties who are responsible for this had, met with defeat, they, being cowards, would in all likelitood have done what they attribute to me, All that I can say is that this i in keeping with the dirty work used to deleat me, and I firmly believe emanates irom the same source. When I say dirty work was used tobring about my defeat, 1 ao 8o advisedly. Ihave evidence in my possession that trickery was resorted to before und after the election. 1nope, Mr. Editor, that you will give this letter pubiicity, so that my friends end the fmmu may know the true state of affairs, and further desire to thank my frieuds for the valuable anhance given me, and beg of them to take nostooR in any rumor they may hear concerning me. e el XA THE PISTOL UNLOADED.
