“THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1897. FOUR WILL VOTE 0B SHN PEDRL Deep Harbor Commission Has Arrived at an Agreement. Morgan the Oaly Member Who Favors Santa Monica's Selection. S:nator White Notifiess His Friends, Who Are Quietly Making Investments. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Feb. 24.—Private Jetters and telegrams have been received here by some of the most confidential friends of Senator White, from his private secretary, which indicate beyond the sbadow of a doubt that the Board of Harbor Commissioners has agreed almost unanimously in favor of San Pedro as the site for the deep-sea harbor for Southern California. The finaings of the board have not yet been formulated into a re- port, but according to the information re- ferred to the members of this comm ission, by a vote of four 10 one, have selected San Pedro. This decision settles every issue Tespecting & deep-sea harbor on the South- ern Coast, and secures the Congressional appropriation of $3,000,000, already pro- vided for by an act last May. Nothing is now in the wav of the expenditure of this sum of money for the purpose Indicated. 1t is said that Commissioner Morgan only, out of the five members, favored Santa Monica. A prominent member of the Los Angeles county bar said to & CALL cor- respondent to-day that he had seen a telegram from Senator White himself, sent yesterday, which left no doubt in his mind that the report would locate the barbor at San Pedro. A prominent official of the Los Angeles Terminal Railway Company, which has been in the thick of the fight from the start, said to-day: “Iam not at liberty to give you par- ticulars nor the source of my informa- tion, but I tell you that I am absolutely certain that San Pedro has been agreed upon for the deep harbor.” Other sources of information were care- fully investigated by a CALL correspond- ent to-day, and every bit of intelligence on | ubject confirms the foregoing state- | Dr. Hill of San Pedro, a leading physi- cian and Democratic worker of that sea- port town, has been in’ this city for two days arranging the details of a real estate syndicate to bond or purchase large tracts of land in his town. In conversation 1tleman said: r town is alive with activity in every tion. We are 10 the midst of the est boom ever Enown in the history of the place. Real estate is chaneing y bewildering. I purchased a small | t two weeks go, for which I paia $1800. I have been offered $3000 for 1t and refused the offer. You may judge by | these things as to what we expect in the | way of a decision by the Board of Harbor Commissioners.” No man in Southern California, per- haps, is more close to Senator White thaa Jokn T. Gaffey, Collector of Port at San | Pedro. It any man in Callfornia has| White’s configence in the fullest sense, it is Gaffey. He isatthe head of a syndi- | cate which has bonded large tracts in and around the town. In addition to this, Gaifey’s company has procured a fran- chise to operate an electric street railway in the town and a city water system. These things have their significance, and in this instance they indicate that the astute Senator and his closest friends are not averse to turning a pemnny to good account, for it is believed that White him- self is directly and financially interested in all the operations wherein Collector Gaffcy is now so prominent. SAN JOSE BURGLAR CAUGHT. Makes a Break for Liberty, but Is Re- captured After* a Short Spurt. SAN JOSE, Can, Feb. 24.—George Brown, a negro, was captured by Officers Pfan and Monahan about 2 o’clock this morning in the act of looting Belloli’s grocery-store at the corner of Third and _San Fernando streets.

Bill Providing for an Annuity Fund Given a Large Mojorty in the Asscmbly. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Feb, 24.—Jones |. of San Francisco heaved & sigh of relief when the Assembly this evening fnally passed the teachers’ annuity pension fund bill. H felt that he could return to San Francisco at the close of the session and face the smiling schoolmarms, who would rise up and cali him a good old darling. To the surprise of almost every one, there were several very bitter opporents of the bill. Boone of Tulare was one of these, He read a resolution from the Tu- lare Grange and a protest from teachers of Tulare County against any legislation of that kind. He aiso real a resoiution passed by A. J. Pillsbury and_ the Grand Jury of Tulare County obj:cting to the pensioning of school teachers. ““When you say that the teachersare working for the zood of humanity you are saying someihing that is not true,” said Mr. Boone. “They are working for dol- lars and cents, like everybody else, They have good salaries and should be able to provide a retirement fund of their own on which to live.” Leavitt of Alameda alsoopposed the bill because it obliged County Treasurers to be castodians of the funds and District At- torneys to prosccute suits on behalf of claimants thereto. Emmons of Kern made a ringine speech in favor of the measure and referred to the fact that in many counties District Attor- neys took private cases and accepted fees for the same. Jones of San Francisco explained taat the bill did not propose to tax the people one cent. The bill was finally passed by a vote of 52 to 10. S SALEM LEGISLATIVE FARCE.

Broad Ledge Which in Places Assays One Dollar to the Pound of Ore, The Purchase Price $250,000, and De- velopment Work Wiil Be Done at Once. LOS ANGELES, Carn, Feb. 24—The largest mining deal ever recorded in Randsburg consisted of the sale two days agoof the famous St. Elmo mine owned and worked by Bogwardt, Pyle and Douil- lard. The property now passes into the hands of a corporation with headquarters in this city and of which Wilham Fergu- son is president, J. F. Turner vice-presi- dentand M. W. Turner secretary. Other members of the company are Csptain Thomas, C. G. North, M. J. Braisdel and E. H. Gould, all of Los Angeles. D. M. Pyle, one of the owncrs, was taken into the directory, and the name of the corporation was changed to the St. Elmo Mining and Water Company. The consideration at which the St. Eimo was taken isunderstood to be $250,000. The new tarts out under the most favor- es, with a mine which at present is second to none in the Rand district, and is regarded by many exper- ienced miners as the best property there, with men of capital behind it to push all ordinary development work without the sale of stock, and in a locality easy of ac- cess and only twenty miles from Kramer, on the Santa Fe Railroad. For the present the purpose of the com- pany is to sink a double compartment shaft at some point oa the ledge to a depth sufficient to fully develop the mine, and for the adaitional purpose of obtain- ing water, which will probably be reached at 300 feet, or certainly before going 500, which is now the depth provosed. They do not intend to mill any ore for the present, and if they strike water sufficient, works will be put up on the mine and the ore can be milled at a minimum cost, thus saving the cost of transportatio with the adaitionai loss of from $10 to $15 on every ton run off into the tailings. This ledge has been prospected and shafte sunk in eight different places, long distances apart, and ore miiled from all of them, with the lowest return of $33 per | ton, while selected ore has run as high as $1 per pound. The ledge at a depth of eighty feet has never shown less width than two feet, while it has been ten and twelve feet in some places, and 1n one place at the surface it is thirty feet wide. It has been located for 6000 feet and that is the length included in this deal. There are two parailel ledyes, distant from the main ledge 200 and 280 feet. These bave been prospected inanumber of places and show as rich ore as the main ledze. The St. Elmo is a strong vein of ore, lying out on the open, level desert, with no high hills near, and gives every indication of being a true fisstre vein and will doubt. less prove a bonanza to the new owners 1f properly managed. | o Ihres ¥ears for Captain Janes.

Frank Monahan, a Nevada Miner, Fell 335 Feet and His Body Was Horribly Mangled. VIRGINIA, Ngyv., Feb. 24.—A mining accident, attended with aetaiis of excep- tional horror, occurred at the Savage mine about 3 o'clock tbis afternoon. Frank Monahan, a well-known and respected miner, met with an awful death. With two companions, Dennis Sullivan and W. H. Thomas, Monahan was en- gaged in repuiring the shaft between the 400 and 500 level. The men stood on a platform of two-inch planis placed across the sbaft. Ordinarily but one platform is used, but the awful accident which oc- curred in the same shaft just a month ago, whben William Byrne was killed, had the effect of inspiring unusual caution among shaftmen, and they had an extra platiorm placed below the one on which they were working in order to catch them should they 1all. 3 They had finished with one setof tim- bers and were raising the lower platform about five feet above their heads, with the intention of repairinz the part of the shaft just overiead, when Monahan sprang to one side 10 make room for the last plank to be raised. He lit with apparently a secure foothold upon one of the timbers justinserted in the side of the shaft, buta moment later his two companions were horrified 1o see him pitch forward and dis- appear througu a three-foot opening in the platiorm into the biack abyss below. Monahan’s companions immediately gave the signal to hoist and were taken to the top, where they were joined by the foreman, and descended into the shaft to search for Monalan’s body. They found it at the 850-foot level, 335 feet below the platform from which Monahan had fallen. A few planks had been placed across the shaft at this place and Monahan had fallen on them. His body was horribly mangled. ' Not a bone was left unbroken, the top of his head was gone, his nose was broken, -and through .a great gaping wound in the back both kidneys aropped out as soon as his clothing was removed. Monahan was a highly respected and popular citizen. silver party politics and represented Storey County in the State Assembly some’ years ago. He was a native of Ire- land, aged about 45, and leaves a widow and five children. ——— SACRAMENTO LINEMAN'S FATE. Electrocuted While at Work at the Top of an Electric Pole.

There was an importaat conference yes- terday between a committee of the San Francisco Board of Trade and the Manu- facturers’ and Producers’ Association in the Board of Trade rooms. The object of the gathering was to discuss bills 546 ana 547, now before the Legislature. The first is an act requiring manufac- turers to stamp upon their products on manufactured wares an indication of the kind of labor employed and the plan of manufacture. The penalty for violating the proposed law was fixed by fines not less than $50 nor more than $500 and six months’ imprisonment. The other bill proposes to compel em- ployers to furnish surgical and medical attendance to employes injured during working hours in mills, factories, ship- yards, foundries and other places where machinery is used or forfeit a penalty of three times the value of the medical service required. From the beginning of the session these two measures were roundly denounced as cinch bills of the worst order. The state- ment was made that at tI8 present time the Pacific Coast manufacturers are hampered in dozens of unnecessary ways and ti it isa shame to add ‘further stumbling blocks to the manufacturing industries. Resolutions condemning the bills were passed and lastevening letters were sent to all the Assemblymen seking them to kill the bills before they go further. The bills bave slipped through the second reading already. ———— Sousa’s Concert Programme. Sousa, the march kingz, will open at the California Theater to-night.

Consent Was Rased on the Statement That They Are Not Engaged in Exportati:n. A move which will occasion some sur- prise among butchers and provision deal- ers hasreached a culminating point within the last two days. This is notbing less than the removal of ti:e Government meat inspection jrom four large abattoirs in this City, owned respectively by Miller & Lux, Moffat:, Horn & Judge and James Hail. The orders were received by Mr. Barker, chief of the service in this City, two days ago. On Tuesday the inspectors were removed from duty at the first three places named. Yesterday the meat in- spedtion at James Hall’s place came to an end. This action came about through a peti- tion which was forwarded by the firms concerned some time ago to Dr. D. E. Salmon, Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington. This peti- tion set forth in substance that the firms were concerned only in killing for the lo- cal trade and that they were not engaged in the export or interstate trade. The in- spection of the Government applies only to meat for exportation. Before the inspection was instituted tiese firms had to make application to the Secretary of Agriculture. Tuereupon the United States sent the proper in- spectors, who under the law and regula- tions for the inspection of livestock and their products, wers compelled, when all the conditions were complied with, to issue certificates and tags and stanps, showing whether the meat inspected was for export or for tbe interstate trade. A daiiy report was returned to the depart- mentgoncerning all inspections. No Euson other than that given in the petitioh is assigned for the action of the four firms named. Mr. Barker said yester- day: “Tue retail butchers will feel this exclusion from inspection; first, for the reason that when a butcher buys a car- cass, or & quarter, his trade calls ior only a part of this quantity. The remainder must be disposed of to packers for sau- sage, for canning and so on. But meat killed at abattoirs where there is no Gow- ernment inspection cannot be stamped o tagged for exyortation or for the inters state trade. The removal of the Govern- ment inspection, which was only for the special purposes named, does not inter- fere with or set aside the heaith inspec- | tion by the local au horities.” £ D, PEIXOTTO RESTGHS, Withdraws From District At- torney Barnes’ Staff of Assistants Edgar D.
