14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JANUARY 3, 1897 *SILVER MINIKG HOW PAYS WELL E. E. Bassett of Colorado on " the Greatly Improved Methods. The Present Price for Bullion as Profitable as the Flush Prices. The Powder, Railway Freight and Treatment Have, Hs Says, Fallen One-Half. E. Bassett, lesses of the Bilver Bell mine ‘at Ophir, in San Miguel County, Southwestern Colorado, is among the ar- rivals at'the Grand. He is on bis way to the new Randsburg gold district to see what developments | have been made there, and if he is pleased | and can get property to suit him he will | become interested there. Mr. Bassett has been in the district be- fore: In 1383 and again in 1885 he spent a good deal of time on the Mojave Desert in | the vic| of these mines and also in | Sier d Siskiyou count !

Gold mining is really the nicest of all mining, and California_probably the best of all countries in which to mine. - The climate is so fine and there are so | ‘many other advantages that I know of no other country equal to it. “In my judgment, however, Colorado will this year sarpass California in its out- put of gold. But that will not be because es are better, but because, as we put forth a good deal more energy than you do here. I believe that 1f the experienced miners of Colorado were moved in here the output would bs doubled. “We have got silver mining down a | great deal finer in Colorado than it was a | dozen ye 2o, or even than it was five | rs ago.

We conduct our mines carefully and make money, and 60 | 10 65 cents for silver is as good now as 85 | and 90 cents formerly. While labor is only | bout 15 per cent cheaper, powder, railway eight and treatment have fallen one-half. Itis much the same in gold-mining.

It Broke Away From the Trocadero and Men Are Scouring the Locality to Capture It. M. Schneider, a saloon-keeper near the leside racetrack, is the owner of a rown pet bear, which 1s now about a year old. It amused Schneider’s customers by potatoes, cornbeef, bread and other articles of food, and enjoyed most of all a drink of beer. Ernest Dolter, who keeps the saloon at the Trocadero, happened to be in Schnei- bristmas day and he was d with the pet bear's antics that Lie_invited Schneider to pay him a visit as s00n as possible and bring the bear along with him and any of his friends who cared 10 accompany him. ! Yesterday afternoon Schneider and a few friends went to the Trocadero with the bear. They tied 1t 10 a tree and went into the saloon to havea drink prepara- tory to getting the bear toamuse them with his tricks. They stopped in the saloon about half an hour, Doiter playing the part of host in a generous manner, and then they all stépped outside to have some fun with the bear, but no bear couid be seen. It had succeeded in getting the haiter off its neck trotted away to have a good time all elf. ow Schneider and his friends are scour- ing the nills and valleys in the neighbor- nooa to recapture the bear, but up toa late hour Jast night no trace of it could be found. Schneider says it will not harm any one, but if a nervous person siould come face to face with it the consequences might be serious. & ————— Home Industry Incorporation. John M.

It is not a flatterer. Its story is plainly told, and cannot be contradicted. Women whose blood is poor and whose whole sys- tem is run down by sickness and weakness, are afraid and asham- ed to look in the | glass. The condition of all the body is written in the face. Thousands of women are dragging out a weary, miserable existence, because they do not fully realize what is the matter with them. They know that they have “female weakness” but they do not really appreciate what that means. They do not kmow that to this one trouble is traceable almost all of their bodily ills. They consider it a disease by itself, and if they have also neuralgia, nervous headaches, biliousness, kidney troubles and other things, they see no connection between them and the de- rangements of a strictly feminine nature. Busy and overworked physicians often treat these things as separate ailments, when the whole trouble has the one source. The reproductive organs are so important a part of the body that when they are out of order, the whole system is deranged. Whatever illness a wo- man has, she will do well to look there for the cause. A great many women knowingly neg- 14t Mhsmisety , because they dread the telling" of their troubles to a physician and the subsequent examination and ““local treatment.” All this is needless for Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription has been found to perfectly and permanently restore lost strength and promote regu- Tarity of functional action. + “Ten cents sent to World’s Dispensary Medical Association, No. 663 Main Street, Buffalo, N.

VALENCIA-STREET CLUB. A Determined Effort Is to Be Made ! to Light That Thorough- fare. The temporary setback given the busi- ness men and residents on Valencia street by the refusal of the Supervisors to have electric-lights substituted for the gas lamps at the public expense has not in the least dampened the enthusiasm of the residents of the warm belt. A reorganization of the Mission Defense Club, that did so much in the past for this section in making a boulevard of Folsom street, the locating of a high school just in the locality where the people sought to have it, and the quieting of the claims of the Noe heirs to possess themselves of the homes of thousands of honest and inno- cent settlers, have bgrn such productive fruits that the same material will resolve itself into a Valencia improvement club, with the fixed and steady determination to stay with the cause of 'making that street an attractive as well asa commercial | one before many months of the year 1897 | pass. PSuch stayers as Jndge F. W. Van Rey- | negom, A. P. Van Duzer, Daniel Webster Kelly, A. B. Maguire, John H. Grady and or-elect Phelan will not retire once get started until they accomplish Those, with others, are about to organ- ize an improvement club, with the inten- tion of not only having Valencia street bat street pavea with bitumen from Mar- the public an avenue with an outlet—and the | only one—leading into San Mateo and | Santa Clara counties. This is the intention of the club about to be organized, just assoon as the requi- site number of substantial names can be obtained to the enroliment of the club | membership. | —————— A Street-Sweeper’s Damage Sult. Bernhard Smith, a street-sweeper, has sued Frank Paulson, Frederick McKinzie and others for $30,000 for injuries received by being run over by a runaway horse belonging to the de- fendants. In Judge Hunl's court recently a MR, WATSON WEDS MISS SPRECKELS Ceremony Occurred Last Wednesday at San Jose. The Kept a Secret Till the Happy Couple Arrived Here Last Evening. The Bride the Only Daughter of Claus Spreckels and the Groom a Prominent Broker. The best circles of San Francisco society will be greatly interested in a romantic | wedding which took place quietiy last Wednesday afternoon at San Jose. The wedding, which was wholly unheralded. will come as a surprise to' the friends of city, who officiated at the ceremony,which took place at the rectory adjoining the church, stated last evening that he was not at. liveriy to say anything about toe matter, as it was evidently the wish of the varties that the wedding skould not be made public immediately. After the marriage the couple went to the Hotél Vendome, where they regis- tered as Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Watson. They remained at the hotel till this after- noon, when 'they took the 2:55 train for San Francisco. During their stay at the hotel the couple took strolls around the grounds and the city and seemed to enjoy their quiet honeymoon. Mr. Watson came alone to secure the mar riage license. LEVIN BROS.' FAILURE. Resolutions Adopted at a Meoting of Retail Grocers Last Evening. A meeting of retail grocers was held last | evening at the rooms of the Retail Gro- cers’ Association, 115 Clay street. Joseph A. Stulz presided. Resolutions were adopted in reference to the failure of Levin Bros. as follows: WHEREAS, The recefit failure of Levin Bros. was brougiit about by the disastrous cutting of prices of goods sold to thein on credit by cer- tnin wholesale grocers ana. jobbers of 1 Francisco; and whereas, the cutting of prices | which ruined Levin Bros. has also affected the prosperity of every other retail grocer in San Francisco; and wherens, to allow the firm of Levin Bros. to make a seitiement of less than | 100 cents on the doliar would be putting & premium on the pernicious practice of sell- ing goods bouzht on credit and sold below cost. . Then be 1t Resolved, That the retail grocers of San Fran- | cisco do protest against any such settlement | for less than 100 cents on the dollar veing MR. AND MRS. THOMAS WATSON (formerly Miss Emma Spreckels). verdict for $7000 was given in tavor of a sireet-sweeper similarly injured. i S CLUBS PROTEST. Denounce ths Froceedings Supervisor Wagner as Belng Revolutionary. | There was a good attendance at the special meeting held last night at B'nai B'rith Hall of the members of the Asso- | ciation of Improvement Clubs, called for | the purpose of denouncing the members | of the old Board of Nupervisors who | sought to retain their positions. After President George R. Fletcher _had of Samuels, the secretary pro tem., had read the call explaining its object Dr. C. D. Salfield offered a series of resolutions, as follows: Resolved, That the San Franeisco Association of improvement Clubs, in special meeting as- sembled, do hereby protest against the pro- ceedings taken Ly the incumbent of the office of Supervisor of the Twelith Ward of this City and County. which proceedings, in our opir- ion, are revolutionary in character, and should not even be eniertained, let alone sus- tained, by any court; further Resoved, ‘That we hereby remonstrate against, discountenance and condemn these proceedings end respectfully request the judi- ciary brancn of the governmeut not to delay its decision in this case, no matter what it may be, 50 that this community will know at tho very eeriiest date wnether the last elec- tion held in this City and County was & 1arce or a solemn. unalterable decree of the voice of the people. He reviewed the recent legal develop- ments in connection with the attempt of the present board to hold over, and added that while Judge Hebbard’s decision yes- terday virtually settled the matter he yet desired 10 have the resolutiop acted upon, as there was no telling, he said, what new scheme might be sprung on Monday. He declared that he thought the Spring Valley Water Company was back of the movement to keep the old board in office, as it desired some further favors at its hands. After considerable discussion the reso- lutions were adopted. ——— Golden Gate Park Music.

About 5 o'clock that afternoon Miss Emma Spreckels became the wife of Thomas Watson. Miss Spreckels is the only daughter of Claus Spreckels of this City, one ot the wealthi¢st men of the Pacific Coast. Mr. ‘Watson i8 a well-known grainbroker. On the 2:30 o’clock train wnich, left Third and Townsend streets last Wednes- day afternoon Mr. Watson and Miss Spreckels, accompanied by a few inti- mate friends, left for San Jose. Arriving there about 4:30 o’clock the party was at once driven to Trinity Episcopal Church. The necessary legal preliminaries had been arranged, and at the church a friend with the license, and the rector, the Rev. Dr. Waketield, were in waiting. There was no attempt at considerable decoration. The prominent contracting parties desired to be very quietly married, and the cere- mony was quietly but impressively per- formed without ostentatious accompani- ments. The elaborate Episcopal service was gone through with, and the few friends extended the heartiest congratula- tions to the bride and groom. Mr. and Mrs. Watson drove atonce to the Hotel Vendome, where they remained till yesterday afternoon, receiving only a few friends. Precautions were taken to see that the wedding was kept out of the newspavers of San Francisco and Sun Jose until they were ready to surprise their friends and let the public know. Yesterday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Wat- son leit -San Jose and arrived in this City early last evening. Mr. Watson sent a wire Lo personal friends and Mrs. Watson also telegraphed to several of hers. A small_party awaited them.at the station and offered their hearties: congraulations, which were as happily roceived. Mr. and Mrs Watson at once repaired to a suite of apartments in a leading hotel. The plans of the newly married couple were not announced even to their most in- timate friends. One of the ciub associates of Mr. Watson predicted that they would take an early trip fo England and the Con- tinent. It is said by clubmen that Mr. Watson has been valiantly laying siege to Miss Spreckels’ heartand charms for more than two years. The quiet wedding consum- mated at San Jose last Wednesday, when the red sun was sinking and the shadows lengthening over Santa Clara Valley, tells with what success. Large numbers of friends are ready to extend congratulations and a life-long bon voyagi e ol FROM SAN JOS:. The Marrlage Was Quletly Per- formed by the Rev. Dr. Wakefleld.

PROPERTY-OWNERS T0 TAKE THE LEAD Third Street to Be Illumi- ‘nated From Market to Townsend. The Initiatory Steps Assumed by Public-Spirited Citi- zans. A New Era of General Improvements to Be Pushed A ong the Line. The business people on Third street, from Market to Townsend, are not going to be treated with any ephemeral display. | The illumination by arc lights -is going' to be continuous, and that, too, from Mar- ket street to the water front. This improved condition of beautifying the street and bringing it into touch with the other business streets so recently sub- ject to the white electric current eman- ated from the minds of a few. Among them were: B. Katchinski of the Phila- delphia shoehouse, near Market; J. Sil- verman, dry-goods store, south of How- ard, and some others who discussed the central locauion of Third street. They also considered its_prominence as leading to the San Jose railrosd depot, which will in the near future be the grand point at which Los Angeles travelers and all from the sea-coast towns, as also Eastern pas- sengers, will arrivs The consideration of having LHE CALL’S new building as an_object of universai ai- traction and admiration us a tower of prosperity and enterprise, at its northern end leading into Markét and Kearny streets, also had its weignt.

With this object in view the two gentle- men named consulted with the following property-owners and found them to a man not only willing but_anxious to take hold of the movement: Claus Spreckels, Dav:d Keil, Rienzi Hughes, Asnes Bowie, Henry Matthews, Dan McMiliian, James Phelan, G.

This street bas been but lately bitumin- ized, and_is, therefore, in first-class con- duwton. This modern improvement has been brought about by the exertions of THE Cary, which: urged the necessity of sucu iImprovement about twelve months ago, and then, as now, the property- owners came to the front and made the benelicial enange, since which time busi- ness has improved, and as a consequence the storekeepers are all the better avle 10 meet their Jandlords on the first of each month.

ROBBED OF HIS MONEY. Edward Hill Victimized by Two Noto- rious Female Pickpockets. Edward Hill, a recent arrival from the East, swore to a complaint yesterday charging Annie Pickettand Mamie Bon- ner, two notorious pickpockets, with grand. larceny. 1ill came here with bis wife for the benefit of her health, and is living at 927 Geary street. On the afternoon of Decem- ber 7 he says he met the two women on Market street, and was induced by tuem to visit a saloon on O'Farrell street, where they robbe i him of $410. He reported the matter to police head- quarters and was advised to swear (o war- rants for their arrest. He declined to do 80, as he did not wish to have his name mentioned for his wife’s sake, and laid the case before a local detective agency. The ‘women were threatened with arrest and promised to refund the money on kriday. They failed to do so, hence the warrants. The warrants have not been handed to the vollce, and it is presumed the private de- tectives are using them 1o force the women to refund the money. ————— Burglarized Consul Coney’s House.
