10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST 2, 1897. PEROVIAN GOLD 15 GLITTERING Prospectors at Many Places Await News of the Lan- cing’s Expedition. Primitive Methods Will Soon - Give. Way to Modern Mining Engineering. Those Familiar ‘With - the Country Say It Has Many Mineral and General -Resources. There is still a great:deal ¢f uncertainty asta the time of the departure of the pro- poséd expedition from this City to Peru any nobody yet knows who is backing the tour proposed by the capiain of the Eng- lish ship Lancing. ‘Captain Hatfield says heé ¢annot name aiiy of the -principalsin the' movemen:, and none of the general mining men of the €ity.seem to know mauch about the matter of the expedition. 1t is a-well-known-fact in mining circles, however, that ‘there .'s go!d in Peru for the gathering and that the cities of that part of the ‘world are rapidly losing their population: becaiise the peopie are hasten ing to the mines. “The mining in.that country is carried on in & véry orimitive way,” said Joseph R. Moore, a.mining expert] to.a CALLTe- porter yesterday. .“‘Where the quartz abounds,’’he said, ‘the methods of- get- ting it out- of ‘the earth are the most primitive in the world. “The rude Indians go in with’ common picks and shovels, snd thereds nothing like a thorough sys- tem in vogue. If. the samé methods were uséd that: are familiar in all countries where mining has ever been done ina scientitic way there would be reports of great results. 1 think you will find that any thoratigh exploration. done there will bring forth good returns, for. it is a thor- ough mineral lead, and there is no doubt that it is as:yet undeveloped.”’ Physicians. who have been in the coun- try. and who know its conditions in a general wiy from their reading say the climate of .the mining regions is for the most part very healthful. The altitudes are sufficient to prevent malaria and ‘the yeflow fever, while the drynessand cold ars enough to make the country invig- orating. Itis a comparatively unknown land to the most of the world. The great thing for- the prospector to do is to get in with the Indiaris, who are-a queer race, and do sll in his power to gain their confidence. It is said that they know the country and &re -guite. conversant with the mines and the regions which were thoroughly .pros- pected by-the ancient Incas. Peter Bacigalupi of the-Baldwin phono- graph parlors spent twenty years in Peru. He says the mineral lands are crossed by many streams, and that the chances for ‘placer mining are very good all through the mounrain regions. “Near Lake Titicaca there sre some of the richest of all the placers yet found in thé southern country. It is Mr. Baciga- lupi’s opinion that the masses who go there from this country wiil never return, He thinks they will succeed at the mines, but-says they will remain- in the country even if they fail, becanse there are many Tesources ihey can fall back upon, the land being rich and the people very hospitable. There are many rich and cultivated peo- ple smong the natives, and there are many whose ancestors, thouzh Anglo- Baxons, settled there many years before the country becume importznt in a com- mercial way. 1tis said that Captain Hatfield’s plans will soon come to a focus, ana it is a ques- tion of a few days or weeks at the most when the expedition will be decidea upon or abandoned for the present. 1t .is found that there is an increasing interest among the masses, and the old captain begins to think it would pay him to take about 500 people to Peru, even if his ship is not chartered by some mining svndicate. He bas had so many offers from men willing to put up a few hundred or a few thousand dollars, that it is worth con- sideration whether the trip might not pay without the backing of any heavy com- pany. The more thoroughly the country and its possibilities are studied, the more thoroughly people are impressed that the trip is worth undertaking. They see that there is a chance to do something, even if the mining propositions fail. It is said that there are some prominent mining engineers on their way to Peru, and that they will make a thorough examination of the country at an early date for a very large English syndicate. Meantime, interestin theland of the Incas goes'on bere with unabated energy, .and thousands are watching the developments with great anxiety. DEATH OF MISS BOYCE. A Lovely Character Cut Off in Its Promise. Her many friends will be saddened to hear of the death yesterday in Santa Bar- bara of Miss' Sarah Eiizabeth Jewett Boyce, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. W. A. Boyce of this City. Miss Boyce was a young lady of sin- gularly beautiful character and marked attainments. Endowed with a charming personality, she endesred herself to all with whom she came in contact. Never desirousof thrusting herself into promi- nence, nevertheless, by force of a natural, strong sympathy, she was generally act corded a responsible place, and upon- her keen intelligence many a weaker nature leaned. Miss Boyce was highly accom- glisned,innd in her short life when her ealth parmitted was never backward in lending her talents to the cause of charity. She was an ornament to society, and in .this City and Santa Barbara has filied a prominent place whose vacancy will be de- plored. ‘Mrs. Boyce tended her daughter lov- ingly throughout her illness, and her father was apprised of her critical condi- tion in time to be present at the end. The interment will take place at Santa Barbara. ——— REBEL CORK PICNIOC.

Georzge Powell, a motorman on the Potrero eleciric line, died suddenly at the Receiving Hospital last night of heart disease. The deceased was found sitting in a doorway at Fourth and Howard streets in & partially unconscious condition and was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where he gave his name and his residence as 1314 Kentucky street. While on the operating table he requested to be taken to an adjoining room and while there he dropped dead. Dr. Fiizgibbon, who had been attena- ing to him, attribuied death to heart trouble. The body was taken to the Morgue. ADMIRAL J. N. MILLER Bound for the Pacific to Relieve Admiral Beardslee. Coast He Arrived Last Night and Will 8ail for Hawaii on the China Next Thursday. Admiral J. N. Miller, United S'ates navy, accompanied by Lieutenants P.ilip Andrews ana T. S. Ro.gers, arrived from the East on. the Central overland train last evening and registered at the Occi- dental Hotel, where apartments had been reserved for the party in response to a re- quest by wire. The admiral, replying to some inquiries on bebalf of THE CALL, said he expected to sail for Honolulu on the steamer China next Thursday. When he reaches that station he will relieve Admiral Beardslee. Regarding his mission to Hawaii, Ad- miral ' Miller had very little to say, and was on bis guard against saying too much in what little he did have to offer. When asked if the Oregon would be added to the fleet at Honolulu, he replied that he could not speak in regard to that question, but fancied that one might draw conclusions from the general newspaper ialk on the topic. Concerning the probable length of his service at the isiands he was also reticent. & Admiral J. N. Miller, U. S. N,, Who Will Command the| Pacific Station, * He said frankly enough and very pleas- antly, that he could not talk of Hawaiian matters. He knew that the Philadelphia was there and the Bennington haa been ordered to relieve the Marion. It is quite well understood that Admiral Miller goes to the Pacific station under important instructions from the Govern- ment in relation to annexation and the matter of indemnity which Japan seeks from the island republic. Admiral Miller was the naval officer representing the United States at the Queen’s Jubilee demonstration. He went tnere on the Brooklyn, the new armored cruj selected to represent the navy of this country. e —.——— Single-Tax Society. At & meeting of the Single-Tax Society last evening Ralph Hoyt delivered an address on “How 10 Have Prosperity.” He first showed that local prosperity, that is prosperity in ‘‘spots;” is not the real ariicle. It must be far-reaching in order to be of any value. The increase in taxation, polltaxes, tariff, etc., cannot bring about prosperity. Not through restriction but through freedom lLies the path- way of progress. He advocated the wiping outof theold objecuonable laws. The true prosperity, he declared, can only be acquired by removiug the barriers between land and lator. This accomplished and the two will WOrk out their own prosperity. —————— A whale of fifty tons weizht exerts 145 horsepower in swimming twelye miles an hour, SHE WILL NOT MARRY HARTMAN So Says Mrs, Elvia Crox Seabrooke of the Tivoli, She Says She Does Not Love the Genial Ferris Anyway. She is Not Suing for a Divorce, Nor Will She—Unless the Right Man Appears. An article in the Dailv Telegraph of re- cent date avers that Elyia Crox Seabrooke has begun suit for absolute divorce irom her husband, Mrs. Seabrooke was seen last evening, and emphatically denied that | she had filad divorce proceedings and that she had any intention of doingso. | The Telegraph states that Mr. Seabrooke learn of it and he wouldn’t have to get his information from a newspaper. Lave no doubt but that he would be greatly rejoiced to secure an absolute di- voree.

The handbail courts were crowded yes- terday and a number of closely contested games were witnessed. At the San Fran- cisco court T. Harvey and J. Murrane vlayed an exciting game, the loser having to pay for a French dinner for six. Har- vey succeeded in winning the final by two aces. George McDonald and Phil Ryan played against their old rivals, Dan Rodgers and M. McNeil. The game was closely con- tested from start to finish and McDonald and Ryan won the final bv three aces. Both galleries in the Occidental court were crowded. a large aelegativn being present from Vallejo, some of whem took part in the games. The principal event was a single-handed game between M, J. Kilgallon and P. J. Keily. It was the vest three out of five and Kilgallon won easily, Kelly only succeeding in having one game to his credit. Foilowing were the games played in the courts: San Francisco Court—N. Berger and J. Bock-~ man defeated D. Sheehan nnd L. Waterman, 2 Herrin and P, okesiand P, Foley, 21—12, Harnev defeated J.

Maguire and D. ] . e o) Elvta Crox Seabrooke. was much rejoiced at hearing the news, and also insinunates that it is the intention of the lady to sooner or later marry Ferris Hartman. Mrs. Seabrooke bad seen the article and was very indignant about it. **As soon as I heard of the story in the Telegraph I wired the Herald and Worla in New York denying the report,” she said. “I also sent word to my !awyers that the article was entirely false and libelous and gave them permission to sue the paper if they thought best. “I bave not thought of getting a divorce and at present have no intention of that kind. Iam opposed to divorces, being a Catholic. I'and my busband are legally separated, and the court allows me ali- mony to the amount of $40 a month. “This was paid regularly up to the time Mr. Beabrooke left Mr. Frohman’s man- agement, the court having ordered the manager to turn over that amount to me each week., When Mr. Seabrooke left the Frohman company to go out as a ‘star’ he made affidayit that he could keep up the payments, This he has fsiled to do, and that is the reason he can’t go into New York State. He hasn’t paid a cent of alimony since he has been on his star- ring tour. “I am by nature rather domestic. My mother is living here with me, and this newspaper notoriety 1s not at all pleasant. My friends have often told me that I dis- Jiked 1t too much for my own good in a business way. This trouble between Mr. Beabrooke and myself is a private matter, and I really wish the papers would cease spreading the false reports. “The idea of my marrying Mr.Hart- man is perfecily absurd to everyone who knows the gentleman. He isa married man and has a son in Chicago in whom he is really wrapped up. “Mr, Hartman is on his way East now and imagine how this foolish ariicie will strike him, never met him except at the theater and don’t believe I have gpoken to him or ever seen him on the street. I admire him very much as a man, but, realiy, the marrying proposi- tion never entered my head. I: I were in love with him I wouldn’t objec) to marry- ing him, but just at present I am not in love with him. “Just bsurd to me is the idea of get- ting a divorce as that of Mr. Hartman’s marrying is to his friends. Now, if I should meet some one in whom I shoula become very much interested—with whom I should fall so desperately in love that I thought I could not live withoat him—I might think seriously of a divorce. But that man has not appeared up to the present time. “Since I came to this City all of my actions bave been above censure. I have done no carousing, haven’t even been in- side of a cafe. The manager will bear me outin the statement that I am atthe theater every night whether I am taking Em in the periormance or not. I go ome directly after the close of the per- formance, so all my nights are accounted for. “If I should decide to apply for a di- vorce Mr, Beabrooke would be the firsi to Regan defeated W 17- Stansbury and M.

The Married Men Easily Defeated by Single Men. The Alzameda cricket field was the scene yesterday of a most interesting contest between teams of married and single playvers. It was the return match be- tween the competitors, and tke initial re- suit was reversed by the bachelors scoring a victory. Going in first, the single men amassed 108 runs; Bira, Peel and Cassidy doing the best work with the willow. This score should not have beer a win- ning one had the Benedicts played up to their form, But they didn’t. Sloman, Musson and Reeves excepted, they fell like tenpins for 8l runs, giving their opponents the game by a 27 ma- Jority. The scores: and G Kelly. SINGLE MEN. R. B. Hozue c. Hilton b. Sloman. [ P.

A Question of Reduced Rates Which Acts as a Stum- bling Block. Eastern Railroads Are Interested and Lenient, but the Mail Men Are Having Trouble at Home. The letter-carriers say that the Southern Pacific Company is just at present en- gaged in piaying a game which bids fair to deprive San Francisco of a repetition of the recent merry influx of Easterners brought here by the Christian Endeavor Convention. The carriers of the continent are to as- semble their delegates here for business of National importance, beginning on the 6th of September. The local committees which have been laboring with the ar- rangements for this big affair have been figuring all along upon bringing out not less than 10,000 visitors. But it begins to look now as though they would be for- tunate if they can induce half of that num- ber to visit the Golden West. Seductive rates are what always bring out the crowds which follow National con- ventions of any sort. Naturally the dele- gates to National conventions would come anyhow, but that is not what counts nor what makes affairs of this kind popular. It is the mass of sight-seers and home- seeking people who come with conven- tions that make the gatheringsdesirablie. The Southern Pacific was generous be- fors the Christian Endeavorers arrived, and while they were here, but as soon as the visitors began to pack their trunks and turn their taces homeward there was a change. Promises made many months ago in the East with various connecting railroads to the effect that there wouid be no competition for the return traffic—in- asmuch as there would be enough busi- ness for everybody—were forgoiten and all of the lines went in for everything there was “in sight,” to use a popular phrase. . The evil effects were not discovered until the Letter Carriers began to shape their plans for their convention. Then it | was found that while all of the Eastern roads were friendly enough toward Uncle Sam’s messengers, still they had a bone 10 pick, as it were, with the Southera Pa- cific, and that meant that the carriers were to be the sufferers. The local com- mittees find they can get anything they want so far as rates are concerned east of Ogden, but when 1t comes down to the re- mainder of the trip they fina themselves confronted with the declaration that the delegates to the proposed convention can come here if they pay full rates or stay at bome, just as they see fit. The profits accruing from the carrying of 10,000 or more people, as well as the berefits which would be reaped by the State, or, for that matter, the coast, seemed o be entirely overlooked by the railroads in their new policy. The letter-carriers say they have not given up hope of eventually securing at least a small reduction in fares. They have been holding frequent meetings of late and committees are constantly peing sent to the yellow buiiding on the corner of Montgomery and Market streets. The carriers have also opened up com- munication with their executive commit- tee in New York, and the traffic-handlers there are having every possible influence brought to bear upou them with the ob- ject of ultimately stirring the Southern acific into a condition of generosity. If everything goes well this will be one of the most important National gather- ings ever held in San Francisco. For a year past the local carriers have been making extensive preparations, gathering funds and arranging for the entertainment generally of their guests. The convention itself will comprise nearly 500 delegates, coming from a1l partsof the United States. The New York bri ade will be made up of seventy delegates, will bring its own band of ifty pieces, and will come in special pal- | ace cars. The expenses of all delegations hailing from east of Chicago will be paid by the local association. The convention will last a week, and during that time there will be excursions to Yosemite and other points of interest throughout the State. The San Krancisco carriers expect to spend over $15,000 upon their guests. SHOOTING AT SHELL MOUND. Many Militia Riflemen Contest for Their Monthly Medals.
