Mindful of the fact that contemplated improvements cannot be completed for many years, and that the cost of the buildings will go far into the millions, those who have the matter in charge have laid the most careful foundations Attorney J. B. Reinstein; who recently made a tour throughout Europe, rep- the regents in part, is better informed on the proposed plans than-any man now in the City, but he feels that position where it will not become him to say much about what is under contemplation.

They are full of good ore and promise well, though no ore bas been milled as yer. ontgomery Bros. & Co., owners of ‘the World Beater, Elepbant and Mammoth, are allowing men to chloride on their properties near Pleasant City and rich ore is taken out. Julius Goldsmith, the partner of Lang- don, has a spiendid mine in Pleasant Canyon. The ore assays $244 to the ton. Goldsmith and Lauvedon are the men who were- reperted killed by Panamint Tom sume time since, and it is rather a curivus fact that this same Tom pointed out the mine to G ldsmith.

Sudden Demise of a Well-Known South- ern Pacific Employe. J.B. Chapman, who was in immediate He | charge of the ireicht claim department | of the Southern Pacific Company, died suddenly yesterday. He hud been suffer- ing for some time from an abscess near one of his ears, and asked to be excused from duty late Thursday alternoon. On Friday his condition became worse, but yesterday morning he felt somewhat better, and thought he would be able to resnme work on Monday. During the a!ternoon, however, word | came to the.railroad that he had died. | It is believed that the abscess had burst | internally and had fiooded the brain, | producing almost instant death. | Chapman had been in the employ of | the company for eleven years.

Committee of Code, Elfelt & Co.’s Creditors Will Report To-Morrow, | | TR | Liabilities of the House Estimated at | $175,000—Assets Reckoned at $280,000. To-morrow a committee appointed by the Board of Trade to examine the busi- | ness affairs of the tirm of Code, Elfelt & | Co. will submit a report to a mesting of ! creditors. A statement of affairs obtained | from the firm by TuE CALL represents that the liabilities amount to $175,000 and the assets to $250,000. The principal creditor is the Anglo- California Bank in the sum of $120,000. The institution is amply secured on real estate and goods in the warehouse. Other creditors for considerable amounts are A, Levi and Trobuck & Bergen of this City. Ther2 are no Eastern creditors to speak ot and the amounts owing to fruit men in California are small. The attachment placed on the firm by Sidney Smith of the Cutting Packing Company is the only one levied, The report of the committee will deter. : mine what the future course of the firm shall be. The members of the committee are Sidney Smith, Charles Josselyn and | Charles Tilden, president of the Overiand Freight Transfer Company. The standard of canned goods from the factory of Code, Elfelt & Co. is very high. This fact is widely recognized in the com- mercial world, and the hope is expressed that the embarrassment of the house will be brief. Men in that line of business be promptly paid for, whfle the produc:s of the canunery are sold on sixty and ninety days’ time. It is said that the action of the Anglo-California Bank in closing down credit on five hours’ notice caused the trouble that now confronts Mr. Code, the manager of the house. Mr. Elfelt retired from the firm three years ugo, an| considerable money was required by Mr. Code to purchase the ‘interest of the retired partner. The assets of the firm consist of real es- tate, goods in the warehouse and stock 1n various institations such the Pacific Vinegar and Pickle Works, the Pacific Woodenware and Cooperage Company and the Schmidt Label Company. The real estate on Tenth and Bryant streets, where the chief factory is located, is very valu- able. It1s assessed for §144.000. There is also valuable reai estate on Main street. During the season the firm employs from 300 to 500 workmen. An important item of the assets is the large quantity of goods in the. warehouse. Of course the committee for the creditors will carefuliy investi ate the accounts of the firm and determina whether assignment, insol- vency ~or resumption of business shall follow: James A, Code’s standing as a merchant is of the highest grade considered from the point of commercial integrity. The house was established thirty-one years Ii“o' and has done a large business ever since. ———————— J: J. O’Brien & Co.’s Creditors. A meeting of the ereditors of J.

Speaking of the gold | fields a few days ago, he said: “The States of Cuzco and Puna are the richest that have ever been discovered in modern times. 'Gold in almost a free state is being taken out by the ton, and fortunes are made 1n a few months. “I heard of one man, an American ramed Hardison, who took out over $50.000 in one month, and I know of a new mine that lately sold fora third of a millicn dollars. Access to the gola fields is easy compared with the awful hard- ships- of the north. There are several routes from this City. One is by steamer | to Mollendo, thence by rail to Lake Titi- caca, which is crossed by steamer. Here | rail travel is resumed to La Paz and from | the latter place the remaining distance to the aiggings, about 250 miles, must be made on horseback or afoot. *Thousands of persons have hastened from the Peruvian towns and cities to the | great placer digeings and there is no doubt that there wiil be news here ina | few months of great gold discoveries and you will then see the tide turn thuat way, and those who went north will be sorry they did not go south.”’ Many Fortune-Seekers Are Willine to Go on the Lancing.

The publication of news of the proposed departure of the British ship Lancing for some of the ports of Peru, in Tue CaLn vesterday, stirred up great interest in mining circles and among hundreds of men whose desire togo to the land of the along with the Grand Army comrades, have a special memoriel service this evening at the Central Methodist Eptscopal Church.

As Wright said he was short of ready cash he asked Speck for a temporary loan and received $11 50 cash. When Speck presented the $125 check at the bank he was informed that no such person as G. M.

Consul Robert H. Huie has been be- sieged for all kinds of information about the country, while merchants, traders and others familiar with the country ol the Far South have been plied with a. thousand questions as to the prospects for gold in the land of the old buccaneers. One of the best-informed men in the City on this subject is Peter Bacizalupi, who spent twenty years of his life in Peru and who married many years ago at Lima. Bpeaking of the question yester- day, he said: “I advise no man o go down there alone and without money with a view of finding gold on the bushes, but if an exvedition goes there headed by mining expe:ts and practical prospectors they cannot fail. “In the old days hundreds of vears ago | the Spaniards took out fabulous sums, | ana they used nothing but the most crude methods of mining. If the modern | miner were to visit some of the old mines that were worked centur.es ago he would | dig out fortunes where nobody is now at | work. There is no question in my m'nd | that the ground all shows good color in | the mountain regions mined so success- | fuily ages ago. 1 am in touch witha| number oi people from there, and I hear from the country regularly. It is one of tne healthiest of lands, and there are plenty of opportunities for the bright | prospector who goes there right to make a fortune. s “I should not advise a man to go there by the Panama route, where ths dangers of yellow fever are enormous. The way to go is the way proposed by Captain Hat- field of the Lancing. I know a number of men who will gladly go that way and they would put up money for the expedi- tion, though I do not know just who is back of Lhis particular expedition. I have received letters from a number of people all over the State on this question, and I have told all that it is a good country to | visit if they know mining and can go there with proper company or prepared to | put up the money essential to a proper de- velopment of resources.’’ Captain Hatfield's ship is to be fitted out for the expedition by George Ross, the well-known shipwright. He says she can readily be made to. accommodate a thou- sand passengers, as' she 1s nearly 400 feet long and was for many years a French steamer on the Atlantic, running to ‘America. Her machinery was taken out many years ago and she has since veen carrying freight all over the world, principally from England to this couniry.
