32 T HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 8, 1898 MORE EASTERN GOLD-HUNTERS A Party of Twenty-Five From lowa Going to Kotzebue Sound. They Have Purchased and Are Now Fitting Out the Luisa D. Thers Will Be Plenty of Steamers In Port To-Morrow to. Carry Troops to Manila. The sealing schooner Lulsa D has been changed into & passenger vessel and will carry a party of gold hunters to Kotzebue Sound. The expedition was organizefl in Towa, and the schooner was purchased here by Captain Johnston. The party ar- rived from the East a couple of days ago, and the Luisa D is now being got ready for the voyage as quickly as possible. All the gold hunters are from Nevada and Des Moines, Iowa, and while they have brought some necessary articles with them, nearly all their outfits will be urchased here. Those who are going to Kotzebue on the schooner are: Messr: Simser, Funson, Pool, Ashford, A. W. Jones, Fitzpatrick, Sleover, Curl, Lyman, J. B. Jones and wife, W. Williams, Brick- er, R. Willlams, Fish, Buckley, Gault, Curtis, Rhodes, Montgomery, Redding, Young, Beim, Dougherty and Dr. de France. Mrs. Jones is really on her honeymoon trip, as she and her husband wers only married a few days before they left the Fast. Her relatives wanted her to remain behind, but she insisted upon going to the g fields, saying that she would fare just as well as her husband in the Arc- tic. ides gold hunting, Dr. de France will look out for the health of the party and see to it that everybody returns able to enjoy the fortune he expects to find. A steam launch and three large boats are now being built for the Luisa D expe- dition, and as soon as they are completed a start will be made.

ADVERTISEMENTS. | Manya man who would be startled at the bare thought of sittin down an deliberately drinking a dose of poi- son, allows himself to be | regularly and srslematib ally poisoned day after day by accumula tions of bile in_the blood. When the liver fails to do its regular work of filter- ing this bilious poisom out of the circulation, it goes on poisoning the entire constitu. tion just as surely as if a man was drinking prussic acid. Every part of the body is polluted. The digestive jutees are suppressed and weak. ened. The kidneys and skin are clogged with impurities and the lungs and bronchial tubes overloaded with morbid secretion which eat away the delicate tissue, and bring about bronchitis and consnmg{ion. All the diseases caused by this subtle pro- cess of bilious poisoning are cured by the marvelous alterative action of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It directly in- creases the liver's natural excretive®and urifying powers ; gives the digestive and Eloml»makmx organs power to manufacture an abundance e% red, rich, healthy blood. It drives out all impurities, and vitalizes the circulation with the life-giving elements which restore perfect nutrition, solid mus- eular power, and healthy nerve-force. “In August 1805, I was taken down in bed with a burning and severe pains in my stomach and under my shoulders, and dizziness in my head,” writes Ira D.

Old Tuolumne Stands Forth WithaGreat Rec- | ord for the Year. 1 Law Set on a Firm Caminetti Foundation by the U. S. | Court of Appeals. ‘ The statistics of the gold product of | | caltfornia in 1597, published last week, | BC Tuolumne County making the | most rapid strides in the way of in- -ased production. Its product of $1,809,- is an increase of $739,430 over 189, and jumps old Tuolumne from seventh to sec- ond place In rank. Nevada remains the banner county, with a record of $2,380,756. in spite of the fact that this shows a de-% crease of nearly $00,00. Fresno County | increased its small output more than half, | and Kern shows an increase of more than % per cent. The $37,3%2 to the credit of Stanislaus Is an Increase of 124 per cent. The other counties showing increased pro- | duction are: Humboldt, Lassen, Los An- geles, Mariposa, Mono, San Bernardino, | San Diego. With the exception of Tuo- | Jumne and Kern, 2ll the counties which | are the heaviest producers show a de- | crease. This is mainly due to the lack of | water last season, but possibly it may be | in some degree due, as far as the figures g0, to an Increase in conservatism in making up the estimate. The decision of the United States Court | of Appeals last week in affirming the de- | cision of Judge Ross in the case of the | North Bloomfield Gravel Mining Company | vs. the United States, upholding and de- ciding the constitutionality of the Caml- | nettt act, is of exceptional importance to the hydraulic mining industry. The origi- | nal Sawyer decision, which paralyzed hy- | display draulic mining, was based on common law | grounds only. The North Bloomfield | Company voluntarily bullt a restraining | dam before the Caminetti bill was passed, | and resumed operations, as they had a | right to do, in the absence of statutory regulations, as long as they were not | putting debris in the streams. The Cami- | nett! act came along with its prohibition of hydraulic mining on the ‘watersheds of the navigable streams of this State unless a permit was first secured from Federal engineers composing the Califor- nia Debris Commission. The company re- | fused to apply for a permit, holding to a | right to operate as they were doing, as no damage was resulting. There seemed | no doubt that a permit would have been readily granted if applied for, as the company’s restraining works were large and efficient. The fight was one of legal | principle. The court finds that the act is mandatory and constitutional and that a permit is an essential condition of opera- tions. This completely establishes the Jjurisdiction of the engineers over all hy- draulic mining in these watersheds. Tuolumne County's Mineral Wealth, a bright and _newsy publication issued monthly at Sonora, includes this in its latest {ssue: “You can call it a boom or anything else ou_ please, but the fact remains that uolumne County is experiencing a re- awakening that reminds the old settler of another fime. One has not to seek far to find these evidences of renewed pros- i It is to be found in the sharp de- perity. ma-nx for mining property all over the county, and the enormous increase in de- vel:rment work going on all about us. It is also apparent enough to the person not immediately concerned in financial schemes. Look at any of the small towns that rose like magic in early days and then steadily declined up to a short time since. A new life seems to hayve entered these unpretentious burgs. In sevi places where, two years ago, threa or | County, shortly, in crushing quartz tal four houses stood to tell the story of | former habitation and prosperity, pretty | villages have sprung up and building is soing on apace. “The renowned Dead Horse mine, the | deepest and one of the best paying prop- erties in Tuolumne County, keeps forty | men steadily emploved. ew weeks | hence the 1500-foot level will have been | reached, when_drifting will begin. The| main shaft is down nearly 1700 feet. The Dead Horse is owned by Alvinza Hay- ward and the Hobart estate. J. Davis, formerly of Jackson, Amador County, Is the superintendent. There is considerable mining being done | on Silver Fork at present. A. Baumhoff | tells us that the miners there are taking | out gravel from the river bed that pros- | cts 8 cents to the pan. They expect to | d some fine diggings when the water gets lower.—El Dorado Republican. A gopher the other day dug a hole through the Champion Mining Company's | dam in Nevada County and started a | break which washed out the dam, with | a loss of $1000 and a temporary suspen- | sion of milling. The serious encroachments of the pres- | ent bad season are now becoming decid- | ly apparent in Trinity County mines. In| the vicinity of Junction City, Trinity’s| banner placer camp, only the French | mines are operating and they are suf-| fering seriously from the short supply. | The Haas mines, which usually cease operations in July, 'are making their final | clean-up three months earlier this season; | the Chapman & Fisher mines have closed | down, as also numerous other proper- ties. ' The season has been a heavy dis- appointment.—Redding Searchlight. The Chloride-Bailey mine near Dedrick, being developed by outside capital, 1s sald to present a very encouraging appear- ance, both the shaft and tunnel oxpos- ing a ledge that is far beyond expecta- tions. = Homer Wilson of San Francisco and J. W. Wingate of Boston are infer- ested in the purchase. The sum of $200 was paid down February 10, and another payment of $10,000 is to be made on June 10.—Redding Searchlight. The Standard Consolidated mine at Bo- die now employs 108 men and mills about 275 tons of ore per week. Drifts, cross- cuts and upraises are being rapidly driven. John Daggett intends starting up the Black Bear millatSalmon Rlver,gsls?de out during the past winter. = The Yreka Company, engaged in run- ning a tunnel through the Humbug range west of Yreka, from Humbug Gulch, under supervision of Tim Aus:in, find larger stringers of quartz with in- dications of striking a good quartz ledge before long. The tunnel is in over 20 feet, and the work is progressing imore rapidly now, on account of the rock be- ing softer than at the beginning.—Yreka Journal. C. A. and J. M. Wangaman, owners of the well known Mayflower and other mines of Greenhorn district, Kern Coun- ty, brought in by wagon vesterday twen- ty-one pounds of gold bullion from the Mayflower, valued at $4400. It was taken from the north side of the claim at the 200 level, and went $46 to the ton. In con- versation with a Mirror representative, J. M. Wangaman stated that they have re- | cently struck $60 ore in the same shaft, and that it is improving in quality as grlen!er depth is attained.—Bakersfield rror. A man is Feltlng rich at working with a ‘eyanide_piant a mountain of 14 tail ings near Yuma, which many experts said could not be worked at a profit. The la- test account is this from,the Yuma Sun: “The talling pond of the old Cargo Mu- chaco mine in San Diego County, which ‘William D. Luce, the well-known assay- er, bought for a r%yn-lt of 10 cents per ton from Hiram . laisdell of _this place, is proving a rich investment for the deserving man who had the cow to back his judgment and tests in_the face of repeated discouragements from able mining men who had had experience in the Cargo Muchacho. There are about 100,000 tons of tailings and they contain about $2 in gold per ton. The present plant enables the working of one hundred tond per day." The owners of the Alice mine south- ‘west of Winchester, Messrs. L. M. and H. D. Wilson and Fred Hook, have asso- ciated with them several influential Los Angeles men of capital, and active work at the mine may begin before long, says the Winchester Recorder. The first cleanup at the new stamp mill at the Leon mine took place Monday, and furnished another proof of the richness of the mine. The owners are very well pleased with the result.—Riverside Press. The mine in the middle of the sidewalk on Butte avenue, Randsburg, owned by A. Anderson, Julius Goldsmith. C. A. Fowler and K. Callahan, is showing up better all the time. The shaft is down forty feet. Three tons of ore milled at Cuddyback gave seven ounces of gold, and another mill run is about ready. This will make the third rich run.—Johannes- burg Rand. The Iron Mountain section of the desert has never had so many miners and pros- pectors at work as at the present time, and development work will be carried on in many of the mines throughout the summer regardless of the hot weather. The Sonora Democrat says: A com- pany has at last secured control of the famous Mazeppa mine on the mother lode. The Froperty is the south extension of the rich Jumper, near Stent, and is held high in the estimation of all mining men. The mine was owned by Judge W. N. Harris, and many efforts have been made in the past few years to buy, bond or lease it. One offer of $100,000 in cash was refused without a moment’s hesita- tion. _The new company is headed by Dew R. Oliver of Stockton and includes Thomas A. Hender of Sonora, W. H. Straub of Stockton, David R. Oliver of Sinnora and George L. North of San Fran- cisco. A new mining company has recently been organized in Los Angeles to develop a mining property along the Colorado River in Arizona, about seventy miles be- low the Needles, at a point known as Giers ding. There are sfx men who care very little for the excitement and boom of the Yu- kon They have a prospect twenty miles north of Daggett, from which they have brought in samples of rock assaying as high as $917. There have been over sev- enty assays made that have run from $5 to $917 to the ton. One mill run of fifty ounds of ore netted $1632. They have a ledge from five to fifteen feet in thick- ness, and are down only eighty feet. Some of the rock, to use a miner’s_ex- pression, was ‘lousy with gold.” This property is causing considerable excite- ment in the locality known as Paradise Springs. One of the fortunate men is W. J. Beamer of San Bernarding, the other five being Orin Staples, Y. P., Dan and Feliz Pricarde and C. L. Lozano of Vic- tor.—San Bernardino Times-Index. It is reported that an exceptionally rich strike of copper has just been made on the property of the Inyo Mining Com- pany, 144 miles north of n{a. The strike was made on the 700 level. Besides the copper, gold, silver and lead ores are now being taken from this property in pay- ing quantities. It is also reported that a smelter is now being put in, which will add materially to the output, as hereto- fore all the ore was shipped either to Denver or San Francisco to be smelted. Owing to the recent copper finds addi- tional mechanism for smelting that ore will be put in, and within three weeks the smelter will be in operation. S. W. Ferguson and A. A. Westall, two San Franciseo mining men, were out with C. L. Mangum this week looking at some giacer mines on_the ‘Applegate.—Oregon ining Journal. 2 One of the most healthy of all busi- nesses to-day is probably that of copper production. "The United :States produces 60, 1pe\" cent of all the copper of the world. All the American mines were_operated uninterruptedly last year. Employes worked every day at fair wages, and the mines pald satisfactory dividends. e consumption of copper increases much more rapidly than the production, and an actual scarc!fir of the metal is a not very remote possibility.

DID NOT LEARN JoseJacue,a Basque From Spain, Was Denied Naturalization. \ Had Been in California Eigh- teen Years and Spoke Only the Spanish Tongue. Judge De Haven Did Not Think That the Man Would Make a Good Yankee and Rejected Him. Since Admiral Dewey succeeded iIn knocking the enchiladas out of the Span- ish at Manila the subjects of the Queen l.csent are in disfavor with Uncle Sam, but this feeling did not influence United States District Judge de Haven in the least when he vesterday refused to make a citizen of Jose Jacue, a native of the Basque province of Spain. The Basques are the most intelligent, shrewd and independent of the Spanish race. They are naturally a business peo- ple, and nearly all the commerce of that country is in their hands. Of this thrifty and enterprising race is Jose Jacue, one of the best known traders in wool in this State. Mr. Jacue came to California in 1880, and six years later took out his pa- pers of declaration of intention to become a citizen of the United States. Yesterday he appeared in the District Court to apply for full citizenship and to forswear all allegiance to the Queen Regent or the King of Spain. His sponsors were C. M. Vergiz and George C. Alferitz, both of this city. The sponsors are Basques and are citizens of the United States, Mr. Al- feritz being a member of the well-known and responsible firm of Dellepiane & Co. of San Francisco. They told the court that since the beginning of war between the United States and Spain they had conversed on the matter with Jacue and found that his sympathies were on the side of the United States and against Spain, and that they were confident that he would make a good Yankee. Mr. Jacue was represented to be an ex- tensive wool buyer traveling all through the State in the pursuit of his business, and bears an excellent reputation for truth and veracity. Up to_this point everything had gone on well for the applicant, but there was a change as soon as Deputy United States Attorney Schlesinger proceeded to ques- tion him. At the first question Jacue turned to his Basque sponsors and in Spanish asked them to translate the question for him. He admitted that al- though he had.been a resident of this State for eighteen years he had not learned the English language, which by universal consent is spoken at Washing- ton and elsewhere in the United Staies. So far as English was concerned it was a case of “no sabe” with Mr, Jacue. Mr. Schlesinger glanced at Judge de Haven and the Judge returned the glance and remarked that he did not think that a man who had lived for eighteen years in California, where the English language is spoken in its purity, and had not taken the trouble to learn it, was a fit subject 't‘o;n citizenship, and denied the applica- Mr. Jacue and his friends were very OUR LANGUAGE | much disappointed, and went away Wlth’ the intention of remedying the defect as soon as possible. ———————— IRELAND AND AMERICA. The Monitor ;Jmph;size! the ract That Catholics of the Emerald Isle Are Against Spain. The Catholic organ of this city, the Monitor, publishes an editorial on “Ire- land and the United States.” The publi- cation is occasioned by a dispatch from London, recently printed, setting forth that the Catholics of Ireland are favor-| able to Spain. That the allegation of the dispatch was untrue there was no reasor | to doubt, as The Call explained editori-| ally next day. The Monitor enlarges upon this idea and sustains its position | by an array of facts. “It is,” says The Monitor, “the same old | calumny which has been tramping around the globe for ages that Catholics cannot | be loyal, cannot be patriotic, cannot be | grateful. The dispatch contains a tissue | of lies. Tt is a lie from beginning to end | sd far as it deals with Catholic Ireland. | The sympathy of every Irish Nationalist, | and the Irish Nationalists are mainly | Catholic, is with every nation struggling to be free or waging the battle of lib- ety Proceeding, the Monitor cites the| actions of the two Nationalist parties among the Irfsh members of Parliament, | | thus Tetting “Catholic Ireland speak for | | itself.” "At a meeting held April %. and | presided over by John Dillon, the head of b the following was unanimously | P R X 2 X X XSS XS Resolved, That the Irish National Parlia- mentary party hereby tender its warmest sym- | pathy and good wishes to the Government and | people of the United States in their humane | efforts to liberate the people of Cuba.
