The Result of Weeks of Earnest and Conscientious Toil Set Forth. “Doc” Leo Pockwitz, representing an important insurance company of foreign origin in this city, is the practical joker of the Olympic Club. Accompanied by Tommy Stanton, another congenial spirit, the *doc’’ recently paid a visit to going up the crick a leetle ways farther on to take up a claim, too.

The rich deposits from the creek were shipped to this city. So great was the ereed of Pockwitz and Stanton that before leaving the claim they filled their pockets and shoes with the fruits of their labors. Reaching Tahoe Pockwitz and Stanton, in their greed for wealth and the:r avarice for accumulations, cut out their pockets containing the depositsand shipped them to this city. Pockwitz ordered by tele- graph 1800 yards of barb-wire fence from a wholesale house here, the wire to be used to inclose that portion of the creek in which Pockwitz made his remarkable discovery, in order to keep out all tres- passers from making incursions on the preserve, Aditer this was done Pockwitz came to this city in a special train and in post haste, He immediately went to t'e Selby Smelting Works, where he had sent at least 500 tons of the glittering sediment taken, after many hours of toil, from the creek in the hign Sierras. “Hell!” said the assayer. “This stuff don’t shine after it's taken out of the water; it's nothing but mica.” And now they are telling this story in club circles on “Doc’”’ Leo Pockwitz.

Several Long Parleys With the Directors of the Mechan- ics’ Institute, SEVEN ~ REPRESENTATIVES ~ GAINED. The Institute Will Receive No Rental for the Pavilion if the Fair Is Not Profitable. Executive sessions, joint meetings, free conferences and a general exchange of views on the subject of the proposed miners’ fair, engagzed the attention of directors of the Mechanics’ Institute and representatives of the Californfa Miners’ Association at the Mills building yester- day afternoon and evening. The first session began at 5 o'clock, Mayor Phelan presiding. The Mechanics’ Institute was represented by A. W. Neal, E.'A. Denicke, Horace Wilson, John Me- Laren, F. Forrchals and Rodney Ken- drick. The miners were represented by | | Louis Glass, T.J. Parsons, S.J. Hendy, | | Mr. Lacey, Mr. Irving and Liacoln | Sonntag. | The Mayor explained the original | proposition of the Mecbanics' Institute, wherein it was provided that the Miners’ Association should give a guarantee pond of $10,000 to insure the institute against loss in the holding of the fair. He under- | stood that some of the miners wanted to accept the re-ponsibility of conducting | the exposition, take all the c:ances of loss and receive all the profi Colonel Deaicke, speaking for the Me- chanics’ Institute, said the directors were willing to stana’ by the original offer or | | they would present, if the Miners’ Asso- | ciation desired, an alternative offer. So far as he was personally concerned he was willing that the miners should take the | fair and run it to suit themselves. In | fact he nreferred that course. | " The Mayor asked if the $10,000 which {the miners would guarantee should be | used to defray the expenses of t e expo- | sition. Tue directors n response said | the money was to be used to detray pre- liminary expenses. A negotiable bond would be required. In the course of the parleying the fact was brought out that the miners wanted | a voice in the manasgement of the fair and | also desired that Mr. Benjamin should have charge of the mining exhibit. The airectors remarked that they de- sired the miners to have joint power in directing the affairs of the exposition, although they preferred that Mr. Gilmore, by reason of his great experience, should superintend all the work. Horace Wilson made it clear to the meeting that the institute, under the original ‘proposition would get no rental | for the building if the fair was unsuces- ful. It wes therefore reasoned that the directors would work diligently to pro- | | mote the success of the enterprise. Alter the original provosition had been reviewed and restated for the enlighten- ment of all concerned the miners with- drew to allow the directors of the insti- | tute time to discuss an alternative offer. The mining men then adjourned to an aa- joining room for executive conference. The directors of the Mechanics 'Institute also conferred in executive session. Dis- cussion for one Lour produced these two propositions. The original proposition as amended and submitted by the directors provides that miners shall cive a negotiable guar- antee bond of $10,000, the managers ot the fair to be aliowed to draw against this bond for money to defray preliminary ex- penses of the exposition. Should the fair prove profitable, the institute shall re- | ceive $3000 for rental of the Pavilion. Should it not prove profitable the institute gets no rental. If loss should ensus the loss is to be made good from the guarantee bond. It was further provided that the Miners’ Association should have seven representatives in the management of the fair—one representative on each of the seven standing committees of the Me- chanics’ Institute. The alternative proposition provides that the Miners' Association may take | the pavilion and conduct the fair to suit itseif. Ii the fair proves profitable the institute i3 to receive as rental $3000, but whether money be made or lost the insti- tute muss receive for rental the sum of $2000. On both propositions the members of the Mechanics’ Institute agree to work for the success of tbe fair. When the amended original and the alternative proposition were submitted to the miners the latter concluded to hold an evening session to discuss the points involved, so adjournment was taken for dginner. At8o’clock the miners convened again, Louis Glass in the chair. Mr. Parsons called for the reading of the two proposi- tions and then moved to accept the amended original. Tne metion was car- ried without opposition. Mr. Parsons then moved that the bond of $10,000 be given and that seven men be appointed to act with the directors of the institute in the management of the exhibition. The motion prevailed. The feature of the original proposition which caugnt the favor of the meeting was the proviso that the institute get nothing for rent if the fair failed to make money. The feature of representation was also acceptable. The secretary of the institute was sent for and requested to have an attorney draw a bond tbat would be satisiactory to the directors of the institute. The chair. on motion, appointed Daniel T. Cole, Mayor Phelan, Irving M. Scotr, L. F. Byington and L J. Truman a com- miitee to procure the bond. Mayor Phelan came in after much of the business of the session had been transacted. When he was informed that the original proposition to give a bond of $10,000 had been accepted he did not ap- plaud. He asked if the directors of the institute would work tv promote the suc- cess of the fair. The names of many leading citizens were suggest-d as good sureties on the bond, among them Ciaus Spreckels, Louis Sloss, Charles Lane, Alvinza Hayward, Levi Strauss, Adam Grant, E B, Pona, H. E. Huntington, Thomas H. Williams. John Mackay, J. L. Flood, I. Hellmun, George C. Perkins, Raphael Weill, V. W. Montague, Joun I Sabin, Phebe Hearst and Henry Crocker. A resolution was adopted requesting | first-class shape. the managers of the exposition to apvoint E. N. Benjamin to take charge of the mining exhibit, The chair announced that he wculd to-day appoint the seven mining representativesof the exposition. It was the sense of the meeting that the chairman need not restrict his choice to members of the Mining Associatio: Superintendent Gilmore was asked to address the meeting and state whether the time was sufficient for preparation. He tbought tbe time short. Strong opposi- tion to postponement was manifested,and the miners resolved to go to work with all activity to prepare for the opening of the exposition on A NEW TRIAL. Dick Williams, the Chinese Boodler, Gets a Supreme Court Decision. Major Moore, special agent of the Treas- ury, received a dispatch from Washington yesterday afterno n informing him that the Supreme Court of the United States had reversed the judgment of the United States District Court in the Dick Wil- liams case and had granted him a new trial, Richard 3. Williams, the defendant, was a Chinese inspector and Chinese in- terpreter for the Collector of the Port. He was convicted in the T District Court September, 1896, on an in- dictment charging him with extorting money for allowing Chinese to land. It was proved on the trial that Williams re- ceived $100 each for allowing Chinese females to land, the money being paid by Chinese, one of whom was said to be a partner of Williams in the business. Wi liams’ bankbook was produced in court and showed that daring the two years in which he had held that position he had deposited $5000 in bank. ‘Ihe defense ob- jected 10 the introduction of the bank- vook in evidence, but the objection was overruled, and it 1s believed that the judg- ment was reversed on this ruling of the court. —————— THE STRIKE STILL ON. Upholsterers (annot Come to Terms With W. A. Schrock. A week ago the upholsterers employed by W. A. Schrock quit work in a body on account of a threatened reduction in wages. Since that time efforts have been made by the strikers to settle the matter, butto no purpose, as Mr. Schrock soon filled the factory with boys and girls, who seemed only too willing to take work at whatever wages were offered. A special meeting of the union was held last night at 1159 Mission street, and the following appeal was formulated and adopted : W. A. Shroc whose store is on New Montgomery stri and who has a factory at Seventeenth and Folsom streets, has repeat- edly cut the wages of his matiress-mazers, until they at last were compelled to quit work because their wages were 1nsufficient to support them. As the Upholsterers’ Union has exhausted every other legitimate means to induce Mr. Shrock to pay living wages to his mattress. makers, it bas become necessary to appel to the pubiic of San Francisco, to the girls who Lave taken the places of the strikers, to the relatives of these girls and to the furniture- dealers, MARCUS KAAGEN, President.

Al Neil and Jack Lahey Put Up a Rattling Five-Round Bout, There were several rattling pugilistic bouts at the Manhattan Athletic Club on Mission street last night., The event of the evening was a four- round go between Al Neil and Jack Lahey for the welter-weight champion- ship of the club. It was a red-hot battle from start to finish. At the conclusion of the fourth rouna the referae, George Mc- Laughlin, called for another round. It was viciously fought and at its conclusion the referee very properly declared the go adraw. Both men on entering the ring were in Lahey was the taller of the two, and in the battle following dis- played| the most science. Neil pliuckily received a number of leftand right drivers in the firet and second rounds, returning aimost| measure for measure. In the third round Neil had much the better of the encagement. Shortly after the beil sounded be planted a nose-ender on Lahey which drew blood. Wnen the warriors were sent to their corners both were fight- ing wiczedly. In the fourth round Neil, at the advice of nis seconds, went in to finish his man. He sent in a number of telling drives on the body, and repeatedly landed on the face. Lahey took the graeling valliantly and jolted Neil’s head back with a right smash on the jaw. The fifth round was stubbornly fought. Next to the event of the evening was the three-round bout between William Cole and Jack McDonald, Cole went for his man in the first and second rounds. In the thira McDonald changed the tables on hisdoughty opponent and the police stopped the fight as Cole was quite weak. McDonald was awarded the battle. There were a number of preliminary bouts which excited and amused the large crowd present. There was also club- swinging and fenciag. MISS.
