THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1897. MONEY FLOWING INTO RANDSBURG Capitalists Eager to Own Mines in the Desert District. Its Future Pictured in Glowing Colors by a Returned Visitor. Says Every Claim Yields a Profit to Its Owners From the Grass. Roots Down. SAN JOSE, C. , Feb. 7.—0. H. Savage, Western maneger for the Feron & Bal- lou Company, has returned from Rands- burg and Johannesburg, in the great | Mojave mining district, which has aston- | ished the entire country by its marvelous richness. Mr. Savage gives glowing @ counts of the mines, and says they mach more than justify all that has been said of them. Teaming from the railcoad station keeps many outfits bu: i 50 great has outhern Pa- 0 build a rail road from Mojave, and the surveyors are now at work running a line back from Randsburg and Johannesburg., When asked as to the stability of the mines Mr. Suvage said: The half has not been told. No such extensive or such rich mining section has ever been discovered anywhere before, and the beauty of it is the mines have all paid their way from the grass roots down. The mine-owners are body to come; they are too busy working their mines ana taking out the gold to worry their heads about anything else. “The boom we all hear about is worked up by the ra and, strange to say, nearly everybody who has bought lots has made a good turn oa them, and improvements are going in rap- idly. Hundreds of wagons laden with lumber snd merchandise travel from Mo- jave to Randsburg and from Kramer to Ranasburg. The procession never ends, day or night. “There are fully 5000 people in and around the Rand district, and a great many valuable mines , are now being worked.

HIH SCHOOL KTHLETES, Best of Them to Meet Univer- sities and May Go East. Field Days and Many Baseball Games Arranged by Fiiteen Big Schools. The Academic Athletic League of Cali- fornia is planning to send a crack team East this summer to compete with the best scholastic teams. The league has re- cently been increased to fifteen of the largest and most prominent schools of the State. Belmont School, which estab- lished & remarkable record for itself on the gridiron daring football season just ended, has joined the league. It is con- sidered a most powerful acquisition. A series of field days has been arranged leading up to the semi-annual inter- scholastic championship meet to be held in this City on April 3. According to the rules of the league each of the fifteen schools must enter a team for this meet or pay a fine. A very large entry list will be the result. The school winning the great- est number of points will be awarded the championship. At present the Berkeley High School is supposed to have the best chance for first place, Oakland High School, now and for some time the champion, being conceded the second place in any event, and Lowell High School and Polytechnic High 8chool being looked upon as fair possibil- ities for third ylace, uniess some of the other schools prove a surprise. The first and second place men in the interscholastic field day will represent the league as & team in the annual amateur championship field day to be held here some time during April under the auspices of the Pacific Association of the Amatetr Union. Berkeley, Stanford and the big atbletic clubs of the State will enter teams. The league has also arranged a series of baseball games for the sciiool champion- ship. The school that shall lose two out of its three preliminary matches will not be eligible to compete in the finals, which will be arranged later. Oakland High School is expected to win first place, with Belmont School and Berkeley High School close np. But there may be some sur- prises. Cycling races, too, have been provided for. On February 27 all the schools of the League will enter their best riders in the interscholastic bicycle meet which will be held on the Velodrome track, in this City. Lowell High School has recently com- leted a cinder-track near Bush and ierce streets.

AN EMBASSALOR SLIGHTED. Why the French Embassador Was Not Invited to the Bachelors’' Cotillon. There is considerable agitation in the | fantry Regiment, diplomatic corps and high society circles | | because the committee of young men who ¢ managing the bachelors’ cotillon this bas s the Washington correspondent Chicago record. The bachelors’ he most select and exclusive of lic functions given in Wash- It corresponds to the patriarchs’ ball in New York and the charity ball' in | Chicago. The attendance is limited and the list of those whose presence is desired | | is made out by a committee which has its 1 and headquarters in the Metropoli- | The invitations are sent to a | selected number, who are permitted to | contribute to the expense of the enter- tainment by buying tickets. If the pro-| ceeds happen to be in excess of expenses | the balance is divided among certain local charities. | The aiplomatic corps is always invited. The corps belongs ex-officio to the district | aristocracy, and all the members have re- ceived invitations to subscribe to the bachelors’ cotillon this year except tbe | French Embassador, who 1s the hand- | somest man among them and a gentle- | man whose social distinction is equal to his professional reputation. All the other members of the French embassy received invitations, and it was therefore supposed the Embassador's name had been omitted by mistake, but when one of his attaches callea upon the committee to notify them of the error he discovered to his astonishment that it was intentional. He was coolly informed that | the committee had stricken the names of | Mr. and Mrs. Patenotre from_the list be- | cause he had slighted Mrs. Rockhill, the wife of the assistant Secretary of State. It was also intimated that the members of | the committee were friends of Mr. Rock- hill, and proposed tio stand by him in the | social feud that has been going on for some time between him and the French Ewbassador. The story is an old one. Eleven years ago Mr. Rockhill was sec- retary of the United States legation at Peking and his wife was a leader in the | amusements of the diplomatic circle. | While arranging for a picnic or some other function she asked the assistance of Mr. Patenotre, who was then the French Minister to China. That amiable gentle- man rode twelve miles on horseback on & bot day to keep an appointment with Mrs. Rockhill and when he arrived at her house she asked to be excused from seeing him. He explained to the servant that he had come in_irom the country a long distance to see Mrs. Rockhill at her re- quest and was very certain that she did not understand that it was he when she sent the message. The servant went back to his mistress with the explanation. She retorted, impatiently: “Tell bim I cannot | see him. It istoo hot to talk business, | Tell him anything to get rid of him. Tell | him I am dead.” 1t so happened that the Chinese servant repeated her words literally and accu- | rately to the Minister of France, but that was unnecessary, for he had overheard them throagh the lattice work, and since he left her door that day he has not recog- nized Mrs. Rockhill. ‘When Mr. Rockhill was promoted to be First Assistant Secre- tary of State he and his wife were ad- miited to the diplomatic circle here, and soon after met the French Embassador and his wife at a dinoer party. Being ignorant of the situation, the hostess as- signed Mr. Patenotre to escort Mrs. Rock- hill to the dinner table, aud when he re- ceived his card he asked to be excased, saying that he did not know the lady. “But I will present you,” said the host- ess. | __*“Ido not wish to be presented,” was the Embassador’s reply. This lady told me more than ten years ago that she was dead, and I do not care to be a resurrectionist.” Through & lack of tact on the part of the hosiess thii dramatic situation be- came known to almost everybody in the party, and within_twenty-four hours the story was all over Washington, which ir- ritated Mr. Rockhill to such an extent that he sent a very indiscreet note saying that if the French Embassador would not recognize Mr. and Mrs. Rocknill socially he could not recoguize the French Em- bassador officially, and advised him that, in the future, he must transact his busi- ness in the State Department with some other person. The French Emba¢sador smiled, and put the note 1n his pocket, in order to show it to Secretary Olney the next time he visited the State Depart-| ment. He has studiously ignored the Rockhills ever since, and to some of their friends who heve endeayored to effect a reconciligtion he bas said: “‘She told me she was dead. One must accept the word of a lady, especially when she speaks of hersell.” sador, sa cotillon i ———— In France 4,000,000 tons of potatoes are annually used in the manufacture of starch and alcohol. e —— TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY.

Company D of the First Regi- ment Resumes Active Practice. M:dal, Class and Practic: Firing, and a Private Match Filled the Programme. Yesterday was a comparatively quiet day at the Shell Mound Park shooting ranges, the attendance and the interest attaching to the various events on the afternoon’s programme both being smaller than usual. The weather, too, proved de- cidedly unfavorable to high scoring and professional enthusiasm alone could in- duce the marksmen to stay long at the targets. The scorers’ noses were purple and the numbed fingers of the marksmen sadly interferea with a steady aim. Un- der such inauspicious conditions the aver- age maintained was highly commendable. The members of Company D, First In- N. G. C., formerly known as Company A, Tesumed rifle prac- tice yesterday aiter two years’ intermis- sion, many of the old-time experts being present. The company has purchased four fine medals, distributed as fojows: Cham- pion and classes A, B and C. The first is said to be one of the handsomest trophies of the kind ever offered by the company for competition, and the others, though necessarily somewhat inferior, are well worth winning. A committee, composed of Lieutenant T. J. McCreagh, Sergeant C. I. White and Corporal J. C. Seagrave, will hencefor- ward have full control over these com peti- tions. The committee's fond ambition is to make Company D first in rank among the military sharpshooters. In addition to the medals mentioned above the com- mittee has arranged for the bestowal of fifteen prizes upon the members making the highest average scores during the year. The company turned out in force yester- day, and, though_rusty for want of prac- tice, made the following totals in’ the class shooting: Meadows 34, Ser- orporal J. C. Sea- Corpora am 24, W.'Russe r13. ons 1and 2 of the Naval Battalion also did some class shooting in the course of the afterncon.

Wicker and iwo teams com- posed of F. O. Young and F. F. Bushnell, J. E. Gorman and A. H. Pape respectively. ‘Wicker was given 50 points on the Colum- bia target, and won by virtue of his handi- cap, with 277 points against Young’s 303, the next best. It should be added by way of explanation that the lowest numerical score indicates the best marksmanship on the Columbia target. The complete scores were: Young 89, 48, 70, 51, 45303, Bushuell 113, 93, 93, 99, 86—484. Total 787. Pape 63,54, 63, 64, 61—305. Gormen'96, 63, 78, 93, 73—708.

ALAMEDA, CaL., Feb. 7.—The rain this morning deterred the Oakland team from coming over to shoot against Company @’s men in the fifteen-men match. If the weather is suitable and the Oakland com- pany willing the match will be shot next Sunday.

ARCUND THE DIAMOND The Piute Indians Defeated by the Alameda Alerts Yesterday. C:htral Park Crowded With Spec- tators to See the Red Men Play the Nationa! Game. “Nearly 10,000 spectators saw tne Ala- meda Alerts scalp the Piute Indians at Central Park yesterday, the score at the end of the ninth inning being 6 to 2. The game, as an exbibition of baseball, did not reach the expectation of the crowd. The Indians seemed to be afflicted with stage fright, and at times their fran- tic playing kept the crowd in a happy mood. s The Alameda Alerts had a large crowd of rooters with them, but their noise was slight compared with that of the Piutes sympathizers. The game started with the Indians at bat and Clattwa was given an ovation, but he struck out. Daubuke hit an easy grouncer to first, going out, and Wish- shon followed Clattwa’s example. The Alerts were unabie to make con- nections with Aquartra’sspeedy ball until THE PARK PREPARED T0 HELP THE HURT A Well-Equipped Ambu- lance Station Estab- lished There.

The long continued wet spell cleared up yesterday justin time for the people to enjoy a good Sunday afternoon’s outing at the park and beach. There were a large number who hastened oui almost as saon as the sun did. The Cliff Hounse was crowded and = large number took in the sports at the Sutro Baths. The pictur- esqueness of the park was aided bya number of Chinese in their gayest silk attire, enjoying their New Year's holi- days, * There has just been completed a new ambulance station at the park and here- after there will be a doctor there day and night. He wil! have an assistant and a driver and they will be ready to attend to an emergency call at any hour of the day or might. A receiving-room has been fitted up adjoining the Park police sta- tion and the ambulance team will be stabled near by. At the Park Museum the curators have just installed their collection of coins gnd medals. They number 3,000, and there are some rare pieces among them. The Col- onial room has been rearranged and some relics now displayed, which have been sometime in possession, but are ‘not yet open for inspection. A number of new glits wera received last week, among them being the following: A Dresden china lace group, “Tne Sl8igh Ride,”” from 8. and G. Gump; four pairs of black-tail deer horns from Hon. John Daggett; one pair walrus tusks, elegantly carved, from J. L. Bard- well. All of the above were from city givers. From Albion, N. Y., came an egg of the wandering albatross, the gift of F. H.

Hammond started the run getting by hitting safely to third; | Goldsworthy was hit by pitcher and went : to first, advancing Hammond, and Bird | then filled the bases by a pretty hit to left | field. The Piutes' pitcher became nervous | and hit Brochoff, giving bim his base and | forcing J. Hammond in. Aquartra settled | down for a moment and struck Muskimon | out. Krug then foliowed with a hot | grounder 1o left field for two bases and | bringing in Goldsworthy and Bird. W. | Hammond hitsafely tocenterand Brochoff | scored. McCarthy threw to third to put | out Krug, but Clattwa let the ball go through his hands and Krug came home. McKee was next up and reached first on | a hit to third. McCarthy became anx- ious at Aquartra’s wild pitching and took | his place in the box, and Mertes, an old- time player, went in as catcher. Aqu tra retired to the bench. The crowd did | not fancy this move and they hooted the | new pitcher, but he set himself right by striking out Jacotsen, who is one of the | Alerts’ star batters. Hammond hit to Chickwa, who made a lightning throw to first, in time to put the speedy runner out and end the inning. The Alerts gained another run in_ the sixth inning. McKee led off with a high fly to second. Wishon ran from short to | capture it, as also did Danbuke. The | former ailowed the ball to slip through | his hands, but eagle-eyed Danbuke made | agrand-stand play by getting under it | belore it reached the ground. Jacobsen | redeemed himself by hitting past center for two bases. Hammond wentouton a | long fly to right field, and Goldsworthy | brought Jacobsen in on a two-base hit. Bird hit to center, and a guick throw to first retired the side. In the seventh inning Zubie made a wild swing at the first ball thrown, and to the surprise of himself and the crowd sent it over third for fwo bases. Chickwa, becoming imbued with the same enthusi asm, hit to right feld, bringing in Zubie, Dahu was hit by McKee and was given his base. McKee's arm either gave out or he felt he deserved a rest after striking eleven men out, so he went to short and Krug took his place in the box. Krug be- gan hostilities by hitting Clattwa, who went to first, filling the bases. Danbuke struck out, and Wishshon hit to pitcher and out. McCarthy had a chance to go down to posterity as a great player, there being three men on basesand two men out, but the effort was too great and he ignomini- ously struck out. The Piutes scored an- other run in the eighth inming, but the Alerts had enough runs and did not take their last inning. The Indians played 8 good fielding game, but were weak at bat. The playing of Chickwa and Danbuke wasof a high order. The Alerts put up a ragged game and had the Piutes been able to bat there might have been a different story to vell.

The b0-yards boys' swimming race at the Sutro Bat!s was won by F. Clongh, with F. Durand second. The 100-yard race was won by H. F. Brewer and J. Ringrose had second place. Fancy diving by Shulte and Radican was one of the best features. Shulte's long leap through the air from the roof of the building—a dis- tance of sixty feet—was a pretty perform- ance, and J. Radican made a handspring high dive, which mede it hard to decide which excelled. The clowns furnished laughter for the aiternoon with a repre- sentation of ““Mamma’s Pet'’ and?his irate mamma, who catches him smoKing ciga- reites and gives chase to him with many misfortunes to her skirts. The obstacle race was very closely contested by Otto Schulte and R. B. Cornell. They climbed all the barriers and took every leap into the water at the same instant, thus afford- ing a very pretty sight. In stimming the last pool Cornell got a little ahead and so won the prize.
