THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11. 1896 DR, McLEAN TO ~MISS OVERMAN Recent Letters That Did Not Produce the De- sired Effect. Dr. Brown's Nemesis Will Not ‘Swear to Her Confession Before a Notary. " MRS, TUNNELL SUSTAINS IT. :The Committee of Three Will Force the Dubuqu: Association to Discard Brown. OsxLAND OrFice SAN FrANciSco CALy, 908 Broadway, Nov. 10. } A very interesting correspondence be- tween Rev. J. K. McLean, D.D., and Miss Mattie Overman has just closed and will play an important part in the future of Rev. C. 0. Brown, now of the Dubuque conference. It will depend solely on Dr. Brown whether or not the commitcee ap- ( vointed a week ago make public the con- 4 Jession of Miss Overman mailed by her to Dr. McLean three months ago. The Bay Conference decided that it was absolutely necessary that the confession * of Miss Overman should be sworn to be- . ‘fore & notary. S. W. Condon, an attor- ney, and who is president of the Alameda County Christian Endeavor Union, was engaged to prepare an affidavit embody- ing the points in Miss Overman’s written confession. The document when pre- pared was sent to Miss Overman by Dr. . McLean, with a request that she take it . - before a notary and swear to it. ..+ Dr. McLean received a reply in which Miss Overman refused to swear to it. It " . wasvery evidert that she did not intend to willfully commit verjury. She replied that she would not swear to her con- fession and referred to the fact that she had once taken an oath and had imme- diately afterward told a multitude of false- hoods. Bhe concluded by saying that she did not intend to take any more oaths. - In this letter she told Dr. McLeun that *. she had only done her duty and had writ- | ten nothing but the truth. She had for- given Dr. Brown and did not cherish any grudge against him and tad no desire to enter into any spite work against the best intere of Dr. Brown. She concluded by saying that the matter was now in the hands of the Lord and that ke wasat- tending to Dr. Brown and would not let bim remain in any pulpit or do anything ‘that would hurt the cause of Christ on earth. “I wrote back,” said Dr. McLean to-day, “‘telling Miss Overman that it was all very well to say that the matter was in the hands of the Lord, but that we also in- ° tended to take a hand in the matter. Brown is back in the field at present and is telling falsehoods by wholesale, and the Bay Association will be heid responsible "if he does in another chnrch as he did in . Ban Francisco. I told necessary for us to have sworn statements only for use in case we needed tkem in . the future.” . Tnis letter of Dr. McLean was un- answered for two weeks, and then the - affidavit came back. It was not sworn to before a notary, but was signed by Miss Overman, who reiterated her statement that it was true. Accompanying it was a short note, in which Miss Overman prac- tically said that she would not take any more trouble to please the ministers. Attorney Condon then procured an affi- ‘davit irom Mrs. Tunnell supporting the statements of Mattie Overman. These decuments are now held by the committee appointed a couple of weeks ago, and will probably remain secret. © “it I had my way,” said Dr. McLean to-night, “I would eliminate one para- graph in Miss Overman’s statement and would give the whole thing out for publi- cation. My reason for leaving out that one paragraph is that it contains a refer- ence to an innocent party and would work 4 hardship on one who had no part in the scandal. I am guided, however, by the will of the majority, and the affidavits just obtained will be held against Brown jor all time. “The Dubuque conference, which re- . -cently took Brown in fellowship, did not fully understand the situation, and I have every confidence that it will rescind its former action. The vote to admit Brown was only 22 to 17, and & majority of the majority were votes of the church that wanted him anda of the church where his son ie pastor. “‘Dr. Brown is now deliberately lying in the East, but it will not be for long, I her that it was | am more convinced to-day than ever of the justness of the manner in which he was treated and our duty in the matter is very plain. The committee that now has the matter in hand is working hard and will push the matter vigorously. They | will not lay their affidavits before the Dubugque conference unless the conference refuses to accede to the request and acqui- | esce in the judgment of the Bay Associa- tion. If not, then we shall be forced to send those affidavits East and use them as evidence. Brown is now without stand- ing in the Christian ministry and must be kept out of the pulpit. If it should be- come necessary to make these things pub- tic I wouid like to see them telegraphed all over the country. We do not wish to do anything except what is necessary to | preserve the dignity and sanctity of the ministry, but I cannot tell what the com- mittee may yet be compelled to do.” Miss Overman’s refusal to swear to tes- timony which is so wiaely different from what she swore to at the trial is regarded as a very shrewd action on her part. To have sworn twice would, it is stated, ren- der her amenable to the courts. It is understood that Mrs Davidson, one of the principals in the celebrated scandal, has left San Francisco.

Payne, examining surgeon to the devart- ments of physical culture and military science at the State University, and one of the best-known physicians on this side of the bay, was thrown from a horse at about 1 o’clock this afternoon, and re- ceived such injuries that grave doubts are expressed as to his recovery. He was picked up in an unconscious condition sufficient to compliete the entire work the two cities urge the appropriation of a suf- ficient fund to do the work. The meeting was attended by only thirty-five citizens of the whole territory interested. Dr, Mc- Lean read a lengthy statement of the work done and the cause of the commit- tee's withdrawal from their agreement. He occupied twenty-five minutes, after which M. J. Kelier of Oakland spoke for ten. He answered all of the arguments pre- sented and corrected some false statements made. The Alameda citizens then got into a wrangle among themselves as to what they did want. Green Majors, A. W. Pattianiana L. N. Chiapman urged that Oaklard be allowed to have work done if Alameda got notbing at present. Aftera two hours’ taik the action of the commit- | tee was indorsed with the amendment noted.

PAYNE and up till a late hour to-night he had not regained his normal state. The most dan- gerous of all the wounds he sustained is a deep cut on the forehead, about two inches in length. His face was also lacerated in a frightful manner. On account of his comatose condition it has been impossible to make a complete and thorough examination as to all his wounds, and fears are expressed by the surgeons in attendance that his skull is fractured and that he has been injured internally along the region of the spine. At about 1 o’clock the doctor left North Hall at the university, on horseback, and as he started out hiy horse gave a lunge and broke the martingale. gIhe animal tecame unmanageable and ran down the hill, through the south entrance to the grounds, down Allston way, and was ahout to turn up Oxford street, when he slipped and fell over the stone sidewalk, carrying the doctor with him. 1In ialling Dr. Payne is supposed tn have struck on a huge bowlder lying near, at the same time receiving the whole weight of the horse upon him.

Charles Jones '99 and J. A. Mc- Gee of the same class bet on the election, the {)en‘hy of the loser being that he should be shorn in whatsoever style the other chose, within sight of the whole university.

Coapman Declares It Is Right's Fight With Might. Learned and Intellizen' Women Dis. franchised by Ignorant, Low and Vicious Men. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Nov. 10. } The question of suffrage for women is attracting more attention now than it did before election. The Rev. E. 8. Chapman, D.D., pastor of the Market-street Congre- gational Church, has the following to say on the subject: The men of our State have voted that the | women of the State shall not be permitied to | vote. In the exercise of this most exalted and sacred right of an American citizen, the men have deliberately and purposely declafed that | the women should not exercise that right to men, and they have had no voice in granting this right 10 men, and they have hed no voice in deciding whether they should themselves be invested with the right of suffrage. The men have themseives decided that they will vote and that the women shall not. No one granted them this privilege, no one was asked to grant it, tiey simply seized upon 1t, and by mere brute force they prevent the women from securing and exercising this priceless preroga- tive. ‘The most ignorant men have voted to dis- franchise the most learned and intelligent women; indolent and worthless men have voted (0 disiranchise women who are among our largest taxpavers; low, vicious men nave voted to deny suffrage to our most exalted and noble women. It is a shamethat such things sre possible; it is a greater shame that they are realities. Many noble men from worthy motives cast their votes against this enfran- chisement of women, otherwise the sixth amendment would have been adopted. The interesis of home and family areina peculiar_sense involved in this struggle for equal suffrage. We may fittingly adopt the words of Nehemah, “Fight for your sons and *our daughters, your wives and your houses.” he Lord has provided that in the course of Dature there sball be two mature minds be- side every little babe. The cradle is guarded on either side by a full-grown person, that the precious life and priceless interests it contains may be secure nst the assauits of evil. Let us continue this struggle with increased earnestness and vigor. To cease our efforts now would be to lose sll that we have gained by the toiis and sacrifices of the past. We have made great grogreu, fully as much as could be reasonably expected. Many have risen up to help us, ana they will remain true to the eause they have espoused, while new recruits will be_added to our hosts as the months go by. The solid ranks of vice and crime are massed against us, thelr mani- fest hostility will cause the frienas of good and pure government to see the rignteousness of our cause and to aid us to achieve tho glorious victory which under God will surely and speedily come. g ‘Will Banquet Irish, , OAKLAND, Can, Nov. 10.—A compli- mentary banquet will be tendered by the Oakland Business Men’s Sound Money League on Wednesday evening at the Masonic Temple to John P.

OAKLAND, CaL, Nov. 10.—The occu- nts of a Chinese lodging-house on inth street, near kranklin, were evictea by the Sheriff this evening. fair created much excitement as many of the 3 al Chinese did not understand the nature of the circumstance. The proprietor who leased the house is considerably in ar- rears in his rent, but the many occupants have all paid in advance and to them the eviction was a hardship. The proprietor was not on hand and the deputy Sheriff could not make the lodgers understand why their chattels were put on the side- walk. Many of them were poor laborers. This is the first Chinese eviction in this city as they are generally regarded as good tenants. Stood off the Officer. OAKLAND, CAL., Nov. 10.—Two young men, giving the namss James Carlin and William Hawley, are in the County Jail on a charge of burglary. They came in on the overland, which was Iate, last even- ing and were industriously at work taking overcoats and grips belonging to fellow passengers. Deputy Sheriff Adam Kell- ner was notitied on the arrival of the train at the mole and attempted to arrest them, but one presented a big revolver at his head with orders to release the other and tnen both made for the boat. Kellner fol- lowed and with the assistance of the boat crew placed both under arrest and kept them at the Harbor Police Station until this morning, when they were brought over to.this side.

THE BIG MINES OF RICH AMADOR Great Activity and Many Miners Employed on the North Side. Nearly 375 Stamps Are New Running and the Number ‘Will Soon Be Doubled. D. Gutmann of this Oity, who is en- gaged in mining in Amador County, has reiurned here aftera visit to various prop- erties there. He said yesterday: “There 1is great activity in miningin Amaaor County. The following mills are now running: Pionee:, Plymouth, 20 stamps; Bay State, Plymouth, 10 stamps; Keystone, Amador, 40 stamps; BSouth Spring Hill, Amador, 40 stamps; Gover, Drytown, 20 stamps; Wildman-Mahoney, Sutter, 70 stamps; South Eureka, Jack- son, 20 stamps; Kennedy, Jackson, 10 stamps; Zeila, Jackson, 40 stamps; Union Consolidated Gold Mining Company, ‘Wieland, 30 stamps; Reward mine, Pine Grove, 10 stamps; Gracy (Bryant mill), 10 stamps; Macy, Pioneer, 6 stamps; James, Pioneer, 5 stamps; Treadwell, Sutter Creek, 6 stamps; Wheeler, Plymouth, 5 stamps; Tripp, 10 stamps; Ferrall mine, 10 stamps, making a total of 372 stamps. ‘A great deal of prospecting is now be- ing done in the eastvein of the mother lode, on which tiie Zeila is located. The Zeiia is one of the oidest in the lode and could if the same had a good shaft keep 120 stamps running. At present this mine is being shut down again on account of re- pairs to the ehaft, which was sunk in the ledge and nearly impossible to keep in re- pair. The management has secured a strip of land east of its shaft and will be- fore long sink a perpendicular shaft to a depth of 1200 feet—when this mine will rank as one of the large goid producers of the county. It is safe to say that fully 1,000,000 tons of rock have been mined in this mine the last eighteen years and that the Zeile, always considered a low-grade proposition, has produced fully $5,000,000 in that period, and there is hardiy any doubt that with a good shaft 100,000 tons of rock can be mined annually for the fifty years to come, as the ledge averages thirty feet and the ore chute is over 800 feet in length. “The Bellwether mine, about one mile north of the Zeila, is being opened up by a Chicago company. 'heir mew three- compartment shait is now down 280 feet, | and itis only a matter of time when this mine will be as big as the Zeila. “The Jackson Gate adjoins the Bell- wether, There some of the largest crop- pings in the State mark the lode. Their shait is down 350 feet, and at their 300 level, where driits are now being run, the ledge is over 100 feet wide; the rock is Jow grade, but still will pay to mitl. All that 13 needed there is lots of stamps. The owners are so well satisfied that tbey are now commencing the sinking of a three-compartment working shaft, which they intend to sink to a depth of 600 feet beiore crosseutting. “‘The managers of both the Bellwether and Jackson Gate mines have profited by the experience of the Zeila, and they are sinking their shafts in the country rock about 50 feet from the vein. *‘At the Argonaut mine stations have been cut on the 1150, 1250 and 1350 levels, and in the 1250 level, going south, there is 12 feet of rock which will mill better than $50 per ton. Grading for a mill south of the hoisting works isnow being done. The company has not decided as yet if they will putup a 40 or a 60 stamp mill. In the Allen Maximilian property at Sutter Creek a contract has been let for a 40- stamp mill costing $31,000, which is to be finisbed within ninety days. “The Alma Gold Mining Company is much encouraged, and has good reasons for- being so, after their diamond drill went throuch a ledge 34 feet thick, 890 feet in their shaft, the core from the drilling averaging $10 45 3-7. The Alma is situ- ated within the town limits of Jackson, and is a continuation of the Kennedy and Argonaut, only one claim being between the Alma and the Argonaut. The com- pany owns 140 acres of land and has nearly one-half mile on the lode line. The shaft has now reached a depth of 910 feet, has three compartments, and is one of the best in the county; the shaft is 850 fee: in solid greenstone; for 400 feet the shaft is perpendicular, and was then turned to an incline of 63 degrees, this being about the dip of the vein. “The company will sink to 1050 feet and then commence cutting out stations on the 1000, 900 and 800 levels, and drift on the vein for four months on each level, when the mine will be opened up sufficiently to erect a 40-stamp mill in the early spring. The machinery at the Alma consists of a double holst with a pair of 14x16 engines, a three-arill air comgreusor and all neces- sary appliances. All work done at the mine has been done with & view to perma- nency, and from present indications it promises o be a second Kennedy. Nearly all of the stock of the company is owned in San Francisco. There has been over $90.000 invested in opening up this mine, and by the time the mine is opened up and a mill erected $140,000 shall have been ex- pended. " *'The Anita mine isrunning & crosscut from the 500 level to strike the ledge, wnich is expected to be encountered within the next 20 feet. ““The Oneida mine is operated by the London Exploration Company, of which the great thschilds are at the head. Ross E. Brown, the eminent mining en- gineer, is 1n charge of the work, and no expense is being spared in opening up this property.

A 500-horsepower direct action steam hoist is now being put up at the mine. The cylinders are 20x60 inches and the hoist has all modern appliances and attachments. An 80-foot gallow frame has also been erected. They are sinking aogerpendiculnr three-compartment shait 800 feet west of the ledge. This shaft has now reached a depth of 525 feet, and will intersect the ledge at between 1700 and 1800 feet, when work on the mine will be commenced. The Oneida mine is one of the old locations of the mother lode and haas been worked to a depth of 1150 feet, kept a 60-stamp mill going for years, and produced $8,000,000 to $4,000,000. The mine is located between the Kennedy and the South Eureka. ‘At the South Eureka the mill has been shut down temporarily, the rock in the upper levels not being high grade enough to pay. A crosscut is now being run from the shaft at the 1100 level to strike the ledge, which will take about ten weeks. After that time the mill will start up again in rock, which will mill better than $10 per ton. “The Wildman-Mahoney mine is run- ning seventy stamps on an average simi- lar to the Zeila and is crushing between 7000 and 8000 tons monthly at a cost of not more than $225 per ton for milling and mining. This shows what can be done in the motner lode under good man- agement. The Wildman has only one compartment for hoisting. Their shaft is down 1200 feet and not one of the best. If they had a shaft like the Oneida, Argo- nout or Alma mining and milling then would not cost more than $2 a ton. “The Keystone is running forty stamps on better rock than the last eighteen months. The South Spring Hill Consoli- dated is again, with its forty-stamp mill, on a dividend-paying basis, The Poca- hontas and Loyal lead on being opened up by an Eastern company. The Central Eureka has cleaned out the old shaftto the bottom, 700 feet, and will commence sinking to 1000 feet. The Mechanics mine near Sutter Creek has erected hoisting works and is now taking out the water from the old shaft prior to going deeper. “At the Bay State; on the 600 level, a very good ledge has been opened up. The Union Consolidated Gold Mining Company is starting up its 80-stamp mill in good rock. They have reached the 400 level acrd are now cutting out a station in sinking a winze from the 300 to the 400 level. Rock has been encoun- tered which will mill from $30 to $40 a ton. There are immense fissures in this mine raneing from ten to fiilg feet. Some of the rock is low grade, but by mixing with the good rock sixty stamps can be kept running in $6 rock. Ths Union Consolidated Gold Mining Com- pany’s possessions are in extent equal to the Jackson district. This fart of the county is now looked to with greatin- terest. In the Pioneer district five or six mines are being run on a small scale. The rock there is ricn, but still Pioneer is the district for the poor men aund pros- pectors. The Reward mine, near Pine Grove, is running its 8-stamp mill in $8, and they bave graded out for ten more stamps. At Volcano the Tunnel claim cleaned up $42,009, and Chinamen and other small claims from $35,000 to $50,000 more.” e LATES1 BHIPPING INTSLLIGENON, Arrivea. TUESDAY, November 10.
