WAS A PIONEER MINING MAN e HE HELPED TO MAKE BONANZA DAYS FAMOUS. —— } From a Complication of Troubles Which He Was Unable to Shake Off. —_— | The Pacific Unfon Club lost one of its best known, oldest and most popular members this morning through the death of Joseph Clark, the pioneer mining man, who expired in his apartments at the club at 12:20 a. m. at the ripe age of 72 Mr. Clark was one of the State’s old LEADING MEMBER timers who with men, many of whose names have now become historical, de- veloped the mineral resources of the coun- try and made “bonanza days” the golden era of Californta’s prosperity and the theme for future generations to dwell ‘u%m with wonder and delight. any years ago Mr. Clark retired from | active business and occupied his time in | resting from the effects of the hard labor | of his early youth and attending to the ‘)roperg which that labor had brought him. e was a member of the Pacific | Union Club almost from its very forma- | tion, and his home was within it8 portals. There he spent most of his leisure, read- ing, recelving friends and reca.lll:s events of early days with cronies who had passed through them with him. Some four or five weeks ago the old gen- tieman was taken ill with a complication of troubles which, at his advanced age, he was unable to shake off, not having | the vitality of a younger man to bring to the aid of the physician. Notwithstand- ing this his death was not expected, | though he was known to be a very sick | man, and the utmost vigilance was exer- | cised in procuring for him all that science could suggest or money buy. He was | thought to be lmsrovlng under the care | that was bestowed on him, and his sud- | den death this morning will consequently | come in the nature of a surprise to the | many friends who were looking forward | to_his recovery in the near future. The deceased was a near relative of Mrs. Phebe Hearst and an uncle of Edward H. Clark, manager of the Hearst estate. As yet no arrangements have been made for the funeral, as the hour of death pre- | ciuded any but the most necessary for- | malities being arranged for. Mr. Clark was a vory wealthy man, and | leaves a fortune which consists of various mining, real estate and other valuable | holdin He was a great friend of the ing man and banker, who died a short time ago at his residence on Pacific ave- nue.

Mrs. Florence Blythe-Moore will also erect a fine large building on her Market strest property. It will not probably go up alongside the proposed bank building, as it is under- stood that she intends to dispose of the remainder of her interest on that eide of | Brooks street. She wil retain, however, the valuable plece of property on the northeast side of Brooks and Market streets, extending through to Geary street and nearly up to O'Farrell. The comparatively small plece of property that forms the gore at the end of the block 18 held $150,000, and it is not improbable | that sooner or later it may become a part of the Blythe estate. It was this piece of property on the northeast corner of Market street and the alley (Brooks street) which was first desired by the | Mutual Savings Bank. Mayor Phelan, as president of that Institution, offered $300,- (0 for it, but his offer was not accepted, 0. The property which was finally se- cured by the bank consists of the two most easterly lots extending to within 37 feet of Kearny street, having a frontage | of 533-8 feet on Market, 73:10% feet on feet on the west and southwesterly h is elbow shaped. e price pald for this property 90,000 and the which was nego- "homas M s, occupied 8 & eleven months in perfecting. It was an extremely tedious and trying proceeding, because of the great number of conflicting interests and claims against the property, nothing of the clouds on the title had to be cleared away. To guote as Magee: ‘Job, himself, with all P 3 10 Have given up the job.’’ But, although this is said to be an impatient age, real estate brokers are not prone to give up anything that gives the Taintest promise of success, and the deal went through. The succ gy and ability of Attorney Walter J iett, who cleared away all the legal brought the wrangling with claims against the estat and paved the way for the passing t deed. The lawyers made the m trouble. They wanted at first to dispose of % per cent of the title, but were finally forced to recede from this position. Mr. Magee declared yesterday that never was a sale made where there were &0 many things to fix up. Mrs. Blythe-Moore was practically force to sell the property to satisfy the dema ¢ the lawyers, and because of thie fact the price i less than the prop- would have brounght under more | rable circumstances. Thomas Ma- gee & Sons appraised the same prop- erty on December 11, 1896, at $308,500. But he remaining portion of the Biythe sck is_now practically clear of debt, i an Eastern title and trust company to loan $1,000,000 on it at 5 rest net. This money, or a will be used to pay off the remainder will go e nas agreed per cent 1r portion of rigages, o the new t, and the buildings that are to erected on_the site. Thomas Magee & Sons have also sold for L. Kauffman the property on the southwest corner of O'Farrell and Car- { los streets, between Powell and Mason streets. The buyer, whose name is not | disclosed, pays $%,000 in cash, and will | finish the fine building that is in course of construction on the site. This work will entail an additional expenditure of about $40,000, so that his investment will approximate $130,000. ’llhe old observatory bullding on Tele- graph Hill and the lot, which is but thirty-four feet less than fifty varas in size, has been sold by Charles Sutro to Gray Bros. The property is on the north- east corner of Kearny and Greenwich streets. The bullding, which -originally cost $27,000, will be remodeled and fitted up as an apartment house for the ac- commodation of the employes of its new owners.

The report of the circumstances, which appeared in the Western Morning News of October 24, is not very lucid, but | 1 gather from it that the malingering took place while the man was undergoing a sentence of imprisonment on the Penelope for striking a chiet stoker. A ‘‘medical survey’ was first held on the accused, which presumably resulted in a finding that he had been shamming sickness. On this a board of three officers sentenced the man to elghteen lashes. ‘‘After re- ceiving eleven lashes,” said the report, “the prisoner became insensible, and the medical officer present (the staff surgeon of the Monarch) stopped the ‘cruel pro- ceeding, and the wretched man was borne bleeding and senseless to his cell.”” There . | does not appear, therefore, to be any sug- gestion that he was malingering this time, The Western Morning News, in chron- icling this fncident, expresses the hope that it may lead to a renewed agitation for the abolition of flogging in the navy. I can hardly conceive it possible that any one possessed of ordinary human feeling will fall to joln In this desirability ~ of corporal whether in the navy punishment, or elsewhere, for certain peculiarly brutal classes of crime, | | opinion may differ. But the idea of flog- %ing a man senseless for such a trumpery offense as that of pretended sickness {n | order to evade prison discipline is revolt- ing to the most elementary feelings of jus- { tice and humanity. The reader will note that this poor wretch was sentenced (by three officers commanding her Majesty's ships and with the approval of thé com- mander in chief on the station) to receive eighteen lashes, and what that punish- ment would have meant had it been car- ried out may be judged from the fact that the man had become senseless from pain and a medical officer had to interfere be- | fore two-thirds of the sentence had been executed. Such a result, considered in confunction with the paltry character of the ‘‘crime” for which penalty was imposed, should convince every one of the utter unfitness of man: | of our naval officers to he intrusted with | such powers over London Truth. | —_———————— | Times Have Changed. | To the man who had $1000 to loan it seemed a large and desirable sum.

N. Scott, a recent arrival at the Occi- dental, is one of the latter class. In private life he is a large shoe merchant of Syd- ney, N. 8. W., but ever since he left his nome to travel abroad he has been made | the object of so many gold-brick schemes | that he is seriously thinking of setting | | himself up as a sure-thing expert and in- | structing prospective globe trotters on the | dangers that will beset their paths while | in America and the manner in which the snares may be avoided. Mr. Scott arrived in Victoria from the |land of the kangaroo a few days ago. From there he took the steamer Walla Walla for this city. With him was travel- | ing Mr. Davis, who is likewise an antipo- dean aborigine. On the steamer was a crowd of confi dence men who were putting in spare time working any of the other passengers who were guilible enough to be caught in their web. One individual lost $250, but upon complaining to the cap- tain succeeded in recovering §120 of his losses. Several attempts wers made on the Scott and Davis sacks, but the two travelers were wary and could not be caught. | Thursday morning as Mr. Scott was slowly walking up Sutter street he was accosted by a smooth-looking stranger who gave his name as E. C. SBamy and who claimed to have made Bcitt's ac- quaintance on the steamer.

He had been negotiat- ing for a mine “up country” which was | rich with a peculiar metal particularly adapted to the manufacture of stoves and ranges. The mine also contained gold in large quantities, but this was a secondary consideration. amy was after the stove metal and did not care a cuss for the gold. | —— | ADVERTISEMENTS. | | FOUR BOXES DID lT.- Remarkable Success of a New Pile Cure. People who have suffered for months or years from the pain and inconvenience of | that common disorder, piles, will look | | with skepticism upon the claims of the | makers of the new discovery for the cure | of all forms of piles, known as the Pyra- | mid Pile Cure; nevertheless the extraord- | inary cures performed by this remedy are such as to warrant the investigation of | any sufferer. As a case in point the fol- | lowing letter speaks for itself: | _Mr. Henry Thomas of sub-station No. 3, | Hosack avenue, Columbus, Ohio, writes | as follows: | “Gentlemen: I want you to use my name it it will be of any use to you. I | was 80 bad with the piles that I lost work on that account. Nothing dld me any good. I read in Cincinnati of the | many cures of piles by the Pyramid Pile | Cure and I went to a drugstore and asked | for it. The druggist told me that he had | something else that he thought was bet- | | ter, but I told him that I wanted to try the Pyramid first. ““The first box helped me so much that I tried another and then to complete the cure used two more boxes, making four in all. I am now completely cured. Have not a trace of piles and I had suffered for years with the worst form of protruding plles. I suffered death from piles, but I found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be just as rep- resented. I have recommended It to sev- eral of my friends and am thankful to be able to write and tell you what good the remedy has done for me.” Physicians recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure because it contains no opium, co- caine or mineral poison of any kind, and because it is so safe and pleasant to use, being painless and applied at night. The patient is cured in a surprisingly short time with no inconvenience whatever. Pyramid Plle Cure is sold by druggists at 50 cents per package, and if there is any constipation it 18 well to use the Pyramid Pills at the same time with the Pile Cure, as constipation is very often the cause of piles and the pills effectually remove the costive condition. Price of pills is 2 cents per package. Write to Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich., for the little book on cause and cure of piles; sent by mail free.
