F Halloran, | 7 “t0 See That the Great Sources of National Wealth Are Not Wasted.” J. F. Halloran, general manager of the Mining and Scientific Press of this City, the original advocate of the idea. when seen yesterday alternoon said: “For several years the Mining and Scientific Press has favored the rrel_:tion ofa new department in the Cabinet, a Secretary of Mines and Mining, and the increased interest in the mining industry throughout this west half of the Nation in the past three years has aroused renewed realization of miners’ requirements. The hard deal that the miners had been getting at the hands of arrogant and ignorant department heads is of itself sufficient reason for the establishment of a bureau of mines,_lhe crea- tion of a Cabinet oflicer whose sole businesfit shall be to attend to that great industry. “With no more thau passing reference to the dignity of the mining profession or to the fact that upon the prosperity of the n:linernl industry primarily rests the pros- perity of any country, it is but necessary to cite the present value and extent of the mining industries of this Nation and the evident ingrease. The total v“l,“e ‘of qt_h? mineral and metal produstion of the United States for the year 1894 was $381,211,235; for 1395 it aggregated $675,001,934; for this year I believe it will be $T.3.0N,000- An industry that represents an annual output of the value shown by these figures :m}d(an investment of nearly four times that amount can justly demand the recognition | asked. 5 It has been said that we as a nation have too many departments and Secrelnr'les now. Idonotthink so. Anyway,asour Government is constituted it is necessarily a part of governmental functions that the affairs of the country shall be administered by a Presidential Cabinet, and it is in order for the miners of California, of the co,sl. and of the entire nation, to recognize this fact and unite in & manful request for just recognition. by end through Cabinet officers that justice is secured and interests fostered, and it is the way those things will be done. The creation of a Cabinet officer to be known as the Secretary of Mines and Mining isin direct line with the policy and outgrowth that has made the Cabinet. At first the Cabinet of the President of the ! United States was composed only of a Secretary of State, a Secretary of War and a ! Secretary of the Navy. In this century have been added, successively, & Secret:r_y of the Interior, an Atorney-General, a Postmaster-General and a Secretary of A]zslcul- ture. In the order of evolution or development the time has now arrived for a Secre- tary of Mines and Mining. intelligent man in or out of the mining business who will note the trend of fairs during the pasi decade will be likely to give aflirmative echo to the statement that the creation of a Cabinet officer to have charge of the country’s mining industries is not only of im mediate necessity to the miner but of pressing irp)vortam:e to the interests of the Nation in its entirety. This great mining industry is, so _fnr as Gov- ernment charge is concerned, a little dump in the corner of the office of the Secret'n.ry of the Interior. The ignorance displayed by that department is lamen!able.. .“, ith no disposition to find fault or to blame, with the most merciful fmndnrd of criticism, lcan only say that, asat present constituted, the only Cabinet c_onnecuon this Government has with its greatest basic industry is a prejudiced subordinate official in the Land Department, who, left to his own devices and guestions of personal privilege, ailows unworthy influence o govern his actions, and who makes absurd an}i injurions rulings in ignorance or defiance of the plainest requirements of the mining public. This man and his attendant satellites know nothing of mining. It is not their fault, but it is our misfortune. i “Take a common experience. Every day comes up a point involving interpreta- tion of that maze of modern mystery, the mining laws of the United States. A letter | to the Secretary of the Interior will bring a construction or ruling on a disputad point, and a letter to the Commissioner of thesGeneral Land Office will bring a ruling or de- cision on the same point exactly opposite to that of his superior. If the matter is pushed or the divergance of opinion pointed out, the impression is conveyed in sub- sequent 1 correspondence that the miner is a nuisance, always®bothering and disturbing official ease. “We need a new department of the Federal Government—the Department of | Mines d Mining—with a competent man in charge as a Cabinet officer of equal standing with the other members of the Cabinet. I don’t care whether he hails from California or Colorado, or North Carolina, so he has sufficient knowledge and author- ity to correctly conserve the mining interests and admirister the great affairs with which his office would be charged. There are a great many things in the mining hat need straightening out, and they never will receive due attention or proper n till there 1s a Cabinet officer of mines and mining, It is hard enough at best for the miners of this country without baving things.made harder still. Between the It i tle show for justice. If the miners of this country (and that term is meant to in-| clude every one directly connected with the mining industry) will work together in a united demand for such recognition as that onginally suggested by the Mining and | sific Press—a Cabinent department for the Government and fostering of the | mining industry—it will be fortbcoming,” | Continuing Mr. Halloran said: “The United States Government has done less for mining than for any other in- | NOW on an even keel. dustry. There is not to-day to be found in Washington a singie clerk to represent | that great industry. The miners do not ask that the Government in this matter ren- | der any assistance to mining; only that it awaken to present requirements and assist itself. All the miners ask is that such action be taken as will decrease rather than in- crease the expenses of the Government. The Geological Survey, aside from 1ts educa- tional value, is of little use to any industry except mining, and that is under the | Treasury Department. 85 with other bureaus that miners have to do with. Any departments that are not in sympathy with nor interested in mining. *The miners are the cause and primary factor in the building up of the country westward from the 104th meridian. But for them this whole region would not be even so far developed, and the other great industries of this part of the nation would be but | A sense of | gratitude should indnce the United States Government to grant such a request as that | embodied in the resolution I had the honor to draft and submit at the recent conven- | little advanced to-day from their rudimentary condition in the early '50's. tion of the California State Miners’ Association, and which was unanimously adopted. I refer to that which was made the text of the admirable front-page illustration in the isste of Tur Carn of the 16th inst. The miners have contributed more to the wealth of the country and done more towsard its development, with less return, than any other class of people. They have gone ahead as pioneers, asking no aid nor sub- sidies, and to-day we pass in palace-cars acrpss the way theyv blazoned white with their bones. Nor do they now ask for any assistance. They do not appear as beggars; but without trespassing upon any of the prerogatives of other industries they with dignity suggest to the Federal Government what the business requirements of the time demand. r conntry leads in many important respects, yet in this we are behind other civilized n In Great Britain, France, Russia and Germany, with less reason than in ours, are Government departments of mining, ministers of mines, whose business it is to look out for that industry, and the effects of such Governmental supervision are too manifest to require more than allusion. “It is the duty of the Government to see that the great sources of Nationa! wealth are not wasted. Yet the United States Government has been almost criminally negli- gent in this respect. Countless millions have been irretrievably lost in mines by reason of such neglect. At a small cost for gathering information and supplying it to miners, securing modification and adjustment of conflicting laws, much of this loss could be prevented. % “The horizon of the future widens. It is manifest that however deferred this matter may be it must come. Nothing is ever settled till 1t is settled right, and while others the same degree of consistency that I claim for myself, I confess to yslight degree of impatience at adverse comment on this sutject. The task is nof an easy one. It will take concerted effort, unity of interests, a combination of forces East and West, education of the public mind, favorable con- sideration of officials in and out of Congress, and a general realization of the justice of the proposed measures. 1f we as miners can secure favorable public opinion and e The British Tramp Steamer Amarapoora as She Appeared Last Monday With a Big List to Port. She Was Ready to Sail for Central American Ports but Is Still at Anchor as the Underwriters Refuse to Insure Either Vessel or Cargo. THE AMARAPOORA 1S IN TROUBLE Although Now on an Even Keel No One Will Insure Her. Narrow Escape of the British Ship Conway Castle on Piliar Point. Death of an Alaskan Gold Miner While on His Way Home From Codks Inlet. What will be done with the British tramp steamer Amarapoora is still a mat- ter of doubt. The underwriters refuse to insure her and in consequence the owners- of the cargo aboard will not allow the ves- sel to sail. That tne Amarapoora is top heavy there can be no doubt. Allof Monday she lay in the stream with a list to port. Yesterday with the transfer of several tons of cargo from port to starboard she straightened up and is Every inch of space on the steamer has been utilized and a schooner has been chartered to take away the freight left on Lombard-street wharl which she could not carry. All day she lay witn steam up, but no satisfactory un- derstanding could be reached, so the Amarapoora had to remain at anchor. She is one of the longest vessels in port for her beam, being 350 feet long and only 20 feet broad, while her depth of nold is 11 feet. The chances are still that the captain will have to dock her again and take off some of the deckload. 3 The smartest trip of the season from Honolulu has been that of the barkentine Skagit, that made the run to Port Town- send in ten and a half days, thus beéating the Japanese steamer Kiushiu Maru by twenty-four hours, The steamer sailed ahead of the barkentine, but the latter beat her into Puget Sound. The British ship Duncow is on her way here from Talcahuano to load wheat. Her charterers-have changed their mind, how- ever, and all the pilots have instructions to send her on to Port Townsend as soon as tney speak her. Captain Graves of the Duncow is well known in San Francisco, having been here on several occasions as chief officer of the Cawdor. President Colnon of tne Harbor Com- mission returned from Colusa yesterday. He says the stone for the new ferry depot is being got out quickly and in spiendid shape. There will be no delay on account of the stone and the building will be put up in contract time. Mr. Colnon is well satisfied with the progress that has been made and will so report to the board at the meeting to be held to-day. The Spreckels tug Reliance has been fitted with @ new corrugated wheel. This {isa new invention anua great things are expected from it. The propeller is just the same as an ordinary one, only that the blades are corrngated or waved the same as the material used for roofing buildings. On her preliminary spin ine tug did not do as well as with the old waeel, but then she was flying light and ithe propeller may not have got a good show cause for maintaining this idea and practical reason for its fulfillment, the re- sult will be satisfaciory. I think we can.” CAMINETTI FOR A CABINET PLACE FOR MINING. Ex-Congressman Caminetti said yesterday that the bill in- troduced in the Miners’ Convention was a copy of one intro- duced by him. Coming from a mining region himself he had taken, and was still taking, great interest in all matters pertain-‘ ing to the mines of this State, and he had long ago become con- vinced that a Federal Department of Mining and a Mining Sec- retary were imperatively necessary for the welfare of that industry. It was just as much a necessity as were the Depart- ment and the Secretary of Agriculture. There was no reason why, if agriculture should be represented in the Cabinet, mining 'should not be. itin hot suds, dry and volish it with French chalk and a piece of soft chamois.

Boak the prints for a few min- utes in a wezk solution of giycerine, using one-quarter ounce of glycerine to sixieen ounces of water. Lay them face upon a viece of glass and let the water drain off, but do not blot them. Have your glass ready, place the print face down on it, and, covering it with a piece of blotting- paper, squeeze it to the glass, using the Tubber rolier made for this purpose. The picture must adhere to the glass at every point; for if it does not the air blisters will show and disfigure the pic- ture.

The amateur photographer, if he has improved the shining bours of summer by gathering some good negatives, has on hand the material for very acceptable Christmas gifts, and now is the time to set about preparing them. No amateur hes probably been so fo:r- tunate as to secure a satisfactory picture with every plate used. The prodigal throws these spoiled plates in the ash- barrel, but the wise amateur uses them for many things. One way is to use them for mounting prints.

On the way down T. M. Milroy, a naiive of Michigan, aged 27 years, died of con- sumption. He was one of the miners who went to Cooks inlet to seek a fortune last spring. While in BSan Francisco he had vlenty of money and was well known in sporting circles. The *gold eraze’’ tock hold of him and he joined one of the ex- peditions got up in'Oakland. It isfrom that on the same old story over again. Gold was only found in very smail qu: tities and finally the party broke up. With nearly all his money gons and broken down in health Milroy took pas- sage on the Sutherland and died on the 14th inst. The body was brought to San Franciseo, them to a young person who must make a sittle money go a long way is that they are very much cheaper.

St. James parish, now ocenpying a hall on Clement street, near Sixth avenue, has determined upon the erection of a new church. A subscription was recently started among the parishioners and re- sulted snceessfully. St. James parish is the result of a mis- sion which was started by St. Paul's in 1890, when the Rev. F. J. Mynard was rec- tor. A lot with a frontage of fifty feet was purchased on Clement street and a tem- vorary guild ball erected. Succeeding Rev. Mr. Mynard, the Revs. J. B. Eddie, L. H. Church, Hobart Chetwood and W. M. Reilly have at times officiated and under these clergymen the parish has made steady progress. In June of the present year the bishop of the diocese appointed Rev. W. H. Clapham as min- ister, and under his energetic and careful guidance the congregation has very ma- terially increased. The new church will seat 250 people. It will be of frame, and will cost not to ex- ceed $5000. The exterior will be exceed- ingly neat in design, while the interior will' be of pleasing architecture. In the bay at the front will be the baptistry, and a deep recessed chancel with stalls for a large vested choir will occupy the rear portion of the church. The rector is de- termined that the new church shall be paid for as it progresses. For that reason the plans have been made for tha erection of a plain church. It is expected that the present lot owned by the church will be exchanged for one ot wider frontage and situated a few blocks west, 5o as to allow for future growth. The new Maria Kip Orphanage is situ- ated within the parish, and its 150 girls will be undethhe spiritual direction of the rector of St. James. The officials of St. James parish are: Warden, J. H. Richards; clerk, F. H. Seely; treasurer, W. C. Wise, and with Messrs. G. B. Ludlow, C. H. Hubbs, F. T. | new commattee to interview Mr. Vining. CONSIDERING THE CITY'S WELFARE Association of Improve- ment Clubs Coun- seling. Legal Report Made Concerning the Geary-Street Fran- chise. San Francisco Legislative Delegates Invited to Hear Proposed Meas. ures Discussed. 1 A largely attended meeting of the San Francisco Association of Improvement Clubs was hela at B'nai B'rith Hall last evening, Mayor-Elect Phelan presiding. Many matters receivea attention. The first business was the admittance of the North End Improvement Club to membership. Mr. Phelan reported that he had invited the Polk-street Improve- ment Club to apply for membership. Dslegates from that club were present. Various ‘committees reported. The committee on street railroads reported an interview with Mr. Vining, at which Mr. Vining was requested to have thecars on Montgomery street turn out to the right instead of to the left. Mr. Vining told tbe committee that a double-track electric road would soon be put down on Montgomery street. The committee se- cured no promise that there would be any change. A vote was adopted to send a ject of the location of the Pesthouse. He opposed having it located on the ground of the City and County Hospital. Lepers | weré¢ sent here from all over this State and from all over the nitéd States. Feo- ple in that section did not want all.the lepers in the United States sexnt umong them. The rssociation instructed the sec- | retary to protest against the location pro- posed for the Pesthouse, and also went/on record in favor of asking the Legisl-tum; to make the legers a State charge. t Supervisor-elect Rottanzi offered resolu- tions concerning the site of the Wilmer- ding School, favoring a location south of Market street and not farther west than Sixteenth street. This proposition was discussed, but was not adopted, the mat- | ter going over until the next meeting. A resolution introduced by Dr. Salfield, asking the Supervisors for an order that all streetcars shall turn out to the right when it shall be necessary to turn out when passing, was referied toa committee. Leon Samuels reported concerning the Geary-street franchise. He considered the interventign ot the Soutuern Pacific Com- pany in the suit of George R. Fletcher against the Supervisors to be unauthor- ized, and said that the claim made by the company that they were willing to sur- render the old franchise is not true. The company never let go of anything it could hold on to. He wanted instructions. The association voted to leave the whole mat- ter to Attorneys Samuelsand Baggett. i Some speeci-making followed. Mr. Phelan thank:d the asscciation for its influence in electing him Mayor. A part ot his remarks was as follows: “The citi- zens of San Francisco haye at last come to see what every visitor has seen, that this City possesses exceptional advautages, wiich, if they were improved, would make the future of the metropolis of the Pacific secure. The City must be regarded from three points of view when we come to work for its prosperity: First, its rela- tious to the country; second, its relations to thc“sea. and third, its internal improve- ment. Mr. Phelan favorsd public ments. Supervisor-elect Rottanzi and Senator- elect Dwyer spoke also. Upon tae suggestion of Mr. Pheian and motion of Senator-elect Dwyer it was Yoted to invite all membersof the San Francisco legislative delegation to attend the meeting oi the association to be held December 2 and also to make a special order for bills to be submitted asa basis of legislative action affecting San Fran- cisco. It was also voted, on motion of Dr. Sal- field, that the chair should name a com- mittee to get aid from the State in the matter of a site for the Pesthouse and also for the Pesthouse building improve- ‘:?igl'n)ufn;_c~ per cent of the people who are lame are affected on the lefu side.

Liberty Branch of the Socialist Laber party held a large and exthusiastic mass-meeting last night in the Turk-street Temple. The chairman in his opening remarks claimed that among the various schools of thought and political parties ciaiming the public esr and confidence there is no school that comes before the public for support thet has a keener sense of justice and humanitarianism than those reprasented by the Socialist Labor party. He closed by in- troducing the spegker of the evening, J. Larsen, who read un able}papdr on “‘Soeial Relations Under Socialism. Short speeches foilowed the reading by the fo-lowing speakers: Dr. J. D. O'Brock, Mrs. Gillen, Mr. Thompson, George Aspden, Leo Gasser, Gus (ave Postler, C.'D. Sun- flower, 'Alfred Gruues and Theodore Lynch. During the evening instrumental music was rendered by Professors Chiapuy Felster, and a reading from Charles Mackay by J. W. Rose, ex-president of the Painters’ Union. e, Moltke and His Poem, One morning at Versailles in January, 1871, the letters from home were being looked through while Moltke was present. in one of them was along poem in his honor, full ot all imaginable eulogies, such phrases as ‘*The sage orderer of battles,’”. “The great silent man,” etc., constantly occurring. He sat_quiet while this great composition was being read out, and when it was over he smiled calmly to himself and remarked to us: “Well, you know, if we had not conquered the poem would have begun with the words, ‘Thou old fool.’ "—The Forum. munieation regarding & nuisance caused by the Spalding Carpet-Cleaning Works, which he had begn instructed by the asso- ciation to send to the Board of Health, had not been received by that body. This matter and the respect due to the associa- tion were discussed later in the evening, Judge von Reynegom suggesting that if the matter could not be reached in any other way a suit might be in order. The sense of the delegates, as finally ex- pressed, was that a committee should once more take the communication to the Board of Health and convey the informa- tion that if no action should be taken by the board the suggestion of Judge von Reynegom might be adopted. A discussion 100k place concerning the petition of the SBouthern Pacific Company to be permitted to run at the rate of fif- teen miles per hourinside of Twenty-sixth street, and thirty miles per hour further out. George R. Fletcher said that this propo- sition contained a menace to the public. While it was true that the company ha been running trains at that speed right along for some time the adoptionof a resolution legalizing it would relieve the railroad company from a share of responsi- bility. He moved that the matter should be referred to «the committee on street railroads, Several speakers followed Mr. Fletcher. Finalily it was voted to instruct the committee to oppose the adoption af any ordinance to authorize any higher rate of speed than tle existing ordinance sanctions. Senator-elect Dwyer introduced the sub- Children Cry for Pitcher's cactor;a. whose existence in such countless forms and myriad numbers hasbeen proven by M. Pasteur and other eminent scientists.
