As to rates and improvements of road, we expect that the facili- ties will be somewhat improved, which will naturally accelerate .the movement of tonnage. But I do not know whether the rates can be cut down. ) I had strongly hoped that we could make an arrangement with the Government for a long exten- sion of the time of the repayment of the money loaned to the com- pany, which, while it would give back to the Government all its money, dollar for dollar, with a fair rate of interest currently, and thus not cause any loss whatever to the people of the whole coun- try, would at the same time spread these payments over three generations, and thus make it easier for the present one. For it is from the patrons orf the road, largely Californians, tnat the money must in reality come, as the road has no other means of earning it. But a small, though turbulent, portion of the peopie of California, at least so far as they may have been represented by the city press, seemed to desire that the whole of the debt shall be paid by this generation. Which will, of course, prevent a decrease of the rates to what they would have been if the extension asked for had been allowed. And I feel confident that there would have been no difficulty in secur- ing this extension had it not been for the opposition coming from the element in California to which I have referred. As to what we pose to effect by the purchase consolidation with the Southern Pacific:Company of lines in California that are at present leased to the parent organ- ization, I have v that it is a matter ve not vet y decided upon, and cannot until we have fully dis- cussed the matter in all its bear- ings. Consolidations or joint own- erships lessen very much the ex- pense of transportation, so that the things that we. do will be those which we believe will allow us to do the business at the least possi- ble charge consistent with an effi- cient service, as that will benefit not only the people, but the rail- road company.

Horatio Stebbins, D.D., who has just recovered from a serious illness. The aged minister was deeply gratified to see the large number of strange faces among his congregation. The latter came from all quarters of the city, and by their presence testifled thelr pleasure at seeing the popular pastor again in the pulpit he has so long and ably filled. Dr. Stebbins’ theme was “Immortality,” a fitting Easter subject. He de- livered his sermon with old-time vigor and his eloquence was decidedly forc- ible. . At the conclusion of the services many of the flock congratulated him on his recovery and attested the delight it gave them to see him once more among them. The introductory exercises were conducted by the minister pro tempore, Rev. Stopford W. Brooke. The musical programme was another feature, the voices of Mrs. Charles O. Richards, Mrs, J. B, Birmingham, Arthur Boyce and Robert Lloyd being heard to advantage In the sacred selections. The cholr was ably assisted by Arthur Welss, cello, and H. Bretherick, organist.

Zammitt Refuse to Go Into Particulars Concerning Mining Operations in Sun- set District. UMORS have been persistently cir- culated for several days past that a new Klondike was about to be open- ed up in the Sunset district. John F. English, a well-known commission merchant at Clay and Davis streets, was sald to be the lucky owner of the land upon which the golden stream had been tapped, and P. F. Zammitt, an equally well-known poultry dealer, was said to have made the discovery. Zammitt has been working in the sand dunes in the block bounded by Thirtieth 3 and K and L | streets for some time past, sinking, Eng- lish says, a well for the purpose of sup- plying with water a chick: ranch which the two men propose to art there. In making the well Zammitt has uncovered dirt that led him to believe that he was | boring Into a bonanza, and in that belief he has paid a number of visits to the Sel- by Smelting Works with samples of hi find. The assay value of these sample has not been high, 65 cents a ton being, so fav, the most that has been taken out of any one lot of the materfal found in the well hole, but whether or not Eng- lish and Zammitt have a bonanza it is to be gathered from their actions and speech that they desire secrecy for a few % days at least for what they do belicve. he rock containing the gold found by the assavers is said to be a quartz con- taining sulphure mica with gold.

The unwillingness of Mr. Mr. Zammitt to t find English and k -about the reported said not to arise from any coyness but for the reason that they desire to get options on sur- rounding land at the prevailing rates for sand dune, in the hope that the ad ing territory may add to the fortune that ' FATHER DEAD IN A HOUSE OF POVERTY FOUR STARVING BABES AROUND HIS BIER. W. C. Smith Died Saturday, but Has Not Yet Been Buried for Lack of Funds. A father lying dead on an improvised four hungry and ragged children clinging to a heart- at 1424 Broadway. The case has lately been given attention by Mrs. Harring- ton of the Children’s Hospital, and she provided medical attendance for the un- | fortunate man in the last hours of his life, but now, according to the statement of the mother, the charitable cieties have ceased to act, and the wretched family finds itself confronted with the problem of burying its dead without funds. William H. Smith died early Saturday morning. In life he was a painter, and made a scant existence by taking odd jobs. Two weeks ago with pneumonia, and, with his illness, the family income stopped. The children were on the verge of starvation and the man slowly dving for want of attend- ance. Mrs. Harrington heard of the case and with the assistance of charitable neighbors made his last hours as com- fortable as possible. After her husband died Mrs. Smith appealed to charitable institutions and societies to bury body, as she was absolutely without a cent of money. None of them responded. An undertaker vigited the place yester- day, but when he realized the_sifuation he refused to take the case. Yesterday afternoon Officer Lyons, whose beat is in the vicinity, notified the health offi- cials and the Central Police station of the matter, and the remains, which are already In an advanced state of decom- position, will be consigned to the potter's field to-day unless some one tenders the widow funeral expenses. The hungry, helpless children are aged respectively 8, 7, 5 and 2 years. At pres- ent they are partly fed by neighbors, but when this charity ceases they will be ut- terly destitute, as the mother.is unable to work. Yesterday the landlord called to collect rent due. When he saw tane corpse he consented to extend the time of eviction. It is a case which deserves prompt attention. and the little father- less walfs should be cared for in some public institution.

Its merit is as- sured, being prepared by the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Ase'n. e e CONGRESSMAN FLETCHER HERE Has Represented the District of Min- neapolis for Four Terms. Congressman 1, Fletcher of Minne- apolis is registered at the Palace with his = sister-in-law and daughter. Mr. Tletcher has been a member of Congress for three terms and was again re-elected at the last election for the fourth time. He Is a member of the Committee on In- terstate and Foreign Commerce and also of 'the Committee on Territori When asked to give his views on questions of national interest Mr. Fletcher readily ac- quiesced in the following strain: “I regard expansion as an inheritance forced upon us by a series of unfortu- nate circumstance, and we now cannot very well dispose of it. We were getting along fairly well without any additiona territory, but the Spanish war has given us some’ which we must take care of. However, the American people have coped with grave questions before this, and 1 presume they will be equal to the present emergency. Congress will acal with the problem ‘and be governed by the conditions as they arise from time to time. As far as Cuba, Porto Rlco and Hawaii are concerned 'there appears to be a well defined policy to allow the e0- ple to maintain a government of their own. With the Philippines it is a diffet- ent proposition. bilities or qualifications of those people to govern themselves, and it looks as if this nation will have 'to undertake their control and experience considerable trouble in doing so. “I was much struck In my travels with the splendid conditions prevallin throudshoul the entire United States. t would appear that the long promised prosperity has finally arrived and an era of good Ieellng is seen eve ere. noticed, too, that the free silver craze has dled of inanition and will be heard of iron, platinum and | he was stricken | the | Nobody knows the capa- | Have Made a they are said to have in sight.

Zammitt says Eng- lish has an option on it, and English said he had an option, but that it has expired and he wants to get another one and put in that chicken ranch. He was very much afraid that a premature publication of the rumors of a golden treasure in the sands would so enhance the value of real estate that there would not be the ghost of a show for a chicken rancher within a mile of the place. Whether or not Messrs. English and Zammitt have—or think they have—a good thing in ‘the sands, the fact remains | that therc have been people who have | maintained for years that gold in pay- | ing quantities existed out near the ocean beach. Zammitt is an old prospector, and | thoroughly familiar with the indications for gold in the ground, and it is hardly | likely ~that he would have spent his money and consumed his time in run- ning back and forth from the assay office if he did not belleve that there were | | prospects for more in the dirt he had | turned up than could be found in any chicken ranch.

Fleming, who owns a control- ling interest in the Black Warrlor Copper Mine of Globe, Ariz., is a guest at the | Palace. Mr. Fleming, in speaking of the | opening up of copper mines in Arizona, | | said: “The development of copper mines in | Arizona is going on gradually but surely. Within the t five years there have been but two new properties that have | gone into mines. Our company has been | three and a half years opening up the | Black Warrior, and we are about to put | up a plant to treat the ore, which runs | about 15 per cent copper. We have 1500 | acres in claims. Tn about three months | we will be ready to handle 200 tons of ore a day, which will average a yleld of | twenty or thirty tons. “Very few copper mines are being dis- | covered at the present time. They were | | nearly all uncovered when prospectors | | first went over the country. Michigan is | | the only State In which the metal is | found in its native form. In Wyoming, | Montana, Utah and Arizona so-called copper mines are really only iron mines carrying copper. One great difficulty with | | copper properties is that at the water level combinations of alkali dissolve the | metal and carry it off. In this way only | the surface is copper-bearing, and conse- quently the metal is soon exhausted, al- | though it may be found again at a greater | depth. | “One of the reasons of the advance in the price of copper, which jumped from 11 to 18 cents in the last year, Is that the production has not increased much during the last eight years and the supply is not equal to the demand. I am inclined to think, however, that the present price ill remaln stationary, or at least have | very little fluctuation. | “Some time ago it was thought that | aluminum wouid take the place of cop- per in wires for conducting electricity, but the idea has been abandoned since the Pennsylvania Railroad inaugurated a series of experiments to determine the | | value of aluminum for the purpose. It i found that aluminum wires, after having been In use six or eight months, | did not possess the conductivity of copper | | by one-third. This_discovery caused the | price of copper to advance 3 cents a pound | in open market and proved conclusively | the superior adaptability of copper for conducting purposes.” e e The famous old JESSE MOORE WHISKY is recommended by physicians for family and | medicinal use because It is pure.

SCORCHERS ARt COMPELLED T0 OBEY THE LAW No More Racing on the Park Drives. POLICE MOUNTED ON WHEELS THE NEW ORDER WILL BE RIG- IDLY ENFORCED. Big Crowds Enjoy the Day at the Chutes and .Sutro Baths—Sleep- ing Driver and a Runaway. Many hundred wheelmen trundled the park roads yesterday, but there was no scorching. Captain Thompson proceeded under the new order prohibiting wheeling at a greater speed than ten miles an hour. Two of the regular park police, uniformed and mounted on wheels, patrolled the bicycle paths and drives, while other of- ficers on foot were stationed at various points. Many cyclers who exceeded the speed permitted were overhauled and warned not to repeat the offense and then released, As it was the first day the new order was enforced, no arrests were made, but on future dates offending wheelmen must explain before the courts. Captain Thompson says the officers on wheels did good work, and altogether the first attempt to regulate the speed of the army of cyclers was a success. The crowd at the park was very large. No accidents occurred, but one O'Don- nell, a brother of ““Boogie,” was enjoying @ good sleep while the horse he was driving went tearing through the park at a hair-raising gait. Captain Thompson lassoed the runaway animal, brought it to a standstill and awoke 'the driver. O'Donnell was startied when he found himself in the hands of the police, and made many promises to remain awake if given his freedom. As the shock of his awakening had improved his condition, he was released and continued on his drive. It was a big day at the Chutes. Over ing the day and enjoyed the varipus at- tractions, In the theater a splendid vau- deville bill was on.
