Thirty-Eight Packages of Smuggled Goods Brought to San Francisco Yesterday on the Mon- ticello. —_— -It remained for the force of inspectors who stayed aboard the transport Solace to discover the main articles of value concealed n the ship. Yesterday Inspect- ors Davidson, Leahy and Lorenzen broke open the storeroom counected with the medical department of the vessel and un- earthed thousands of dollars’ worth of Oriental finery on which no duty had been paid. In Captain Winslow's storerooms were found a number of Chinese tea sets marked with the name of his Chinese servant. The Mongolian had his name also on a half dozen embossed plctures and he claimed that ne had brought “lots over before and no trouble. The find of the day, however, was made by Inspector Davidson. Stored away | among the medical stores were two trunks _marked Colonel Meade and Captain Rit- tenhouse. In each trunk were found sev- eral sults of fur garments valued at Sev- eral hundred dollars. The marines. being the first to enter Tlenisin, had every op- portunity to loot and, judging from the amount of stuff boxed and addressed to the officers of the marine corps, they let ng chance slip. 2 The pay department, chief engineers department and that portion of the ship under the direct control of Lieutenant Coffin were the only parts of the vessel where_the inspectors found no goods. Dr. Steppe was particularly unfortunate in that while he brought n(lmlni for nim- | self he was kind enough to take charze | of several packages left in his care, prom- ising to dellver them to the people to whom they were addressed. The inspect- ors relleved him of the responsibility yes- terday. On opening the packages which the doctor had In his charge silk and Chinese garments were found. The inspectors brought thirty-eight pack- ages of goods found in the Solace to this city yesterday on the noon trip of the steamer Monticello. It is a matter of note that while the crew gave up without any talk all dutiable goods in their pos- session the officers endeavored at all times to throw the inspectors off the track.

His was continued until Wednesday. | Sarly yesterday morning Jones opened | the front window In the residence of Mrs. | M. Lewis, 522 Jones street. Mrs, Lewis observed him and raised an alarm, which'| was heard by Spec.al Officer H. Smith. | He saw Jones running away and gave | chase, firing a shot in the air from his revolver to intimidate Jones. The shot was heard by Policeman Hutchings, who captured Jones, and the colored fugitive as taken before Mrs. Lewis, who ident- ified him. Captain Seymour suspected that Jones might have been the colored youth who | has been frightening ladies in_Stockton, | as reported in the telegraphic dispatches, and interrogated him. Jones denied that he had ever been In Stockton, although admitting he had been in Sacramento. He said that Mrs. Lewis' window was open | nd he simply looked in. He knew utherland, who was called “the kisser’ among colored folks. ———epea T Red Cross Society. The Red Cross rooms, 308 Sutter street, will be closed on and after the evening of September 26th.

Abe Hammer, a boy 9 years of age, whose parents live at 720 Natoma street, had a narrow escape from death yester- | day afternoon. He was knocked down by an electric car on Eighth street. He | sustained a compound fracture of the left leg and abrasions of the scalp and ear. The boy was stealing a ride on the rear end of an ice wagon and jumped | off between Minna and Natoma streets | in front of car 1103, which was going at | rapid speed in the opposite direction.

RECEIVES BURNS IN SAVING HIS HOME Henry Seekamp Carries Exploded Gasoline Stove From a Room and Extinguishes Fire. BERKELEY, Sept. 22.—Henry Seekamp, the well-known violinist, who resides at 1609 Loulsa street, had his hands badly burned this morning while carrying an exploded gasoline stove out of his house. He threw the blazing mass into the back yard and returned to the rooms in time to put out the flames, which had caught the woodwork. There was no one in the room at the time the stove exploded. Mr. Seekamp heard the nofse and rushed in to find the stove ablaze. He picked up the stove and carrfed it to a safe distance from the building. Both hands were badly burned, but Mr. Seekamp’'s heroic method saved his house from being destroved. : | land | ty- Benzon’s Great Card Story.

MINING BOOM IS ATTRACTING THE EASTERN PEOPLE e Large Developments Taking Place in Every Portion of the Country. —— Coming Convention of California | Miners’ Association in This City ‘Will Have Live Topics to Consider. AR Al “Mining is booming everywhere except in New York City.” This is the verdict of the American Mining News, and the text is sutficient to lead the journal to ad- vocate the establishment of a_national mining display in New York. Money is plentiful in the metropolis. That is one argument used. Another of the pictu esque sort is that in New York “there is more ignorance concerning the mineral wealth and prospects of the United States than anywhere else.” That mining is on the boom is satisfac- torily evidenced by the fact that during the urst eight months of the present year the dividends paid out by mining com- panies as reported amounted to $27,195,530, Which is 8 per cent upon the total capital stock of the companies reporting. There is ample evidence that mining is attracting a much greater share of atten- tion in New York than _was the case a few vears ago. The Western Mining ‘World calls attention to a press dispatch to the effect that a syndicate of ten wealthy men has provided a fund of $100,000 for search and prospecting, which they have placed in the hands of a promi- nent mining engineer, who will look for valuable mining properties in the West. “While this proposition,” says the journal before mentioned, ‘“partakes somewhat of the practice of the| old style shoemaker of making the| foot fit the shoe rather than the shoe fit | the foot, yet it strongly evidences the fact that the c:\{mal of the East is begin. | ning to seek the mines instead of the | mines secking capital. which has been the | experience since the industry of mining began in America. The era of speculative investment in industrial enterprises seems to be nearing an end, and timid capital, if not evincing a desire to ‘get from un- der,’ at least is finding difficulty in mak- ing’ investments with fair promise ot safety and liberal dividend hence it turns to other avenues, and none are found so promising as those leading to the mines.” A _correspondent writes that the gold product of the Cripple Creek district this year will amount to $30,000,000. The same authority calls attention to the ‘“‘trans- formation of the silver mines in several Colorado districts into gold mines.” He says: ‘Where gold and silver are mined together, in some instances the value of one equals that of the other, and in some cases, as in the big mines of Leadville, the gold exceeds. A recent filustration which foreshadows wonderful reve- lations in what was once the leading orthodox sllver camp in the State was recently furnished by noted ploneer silver mines of Georgetown. | At the 600 level of one of them a streak vary- | ing from 15 to 30 inches was encountered where | the solid vein ore ran $25 per ton, silver and gold, but from the streak the returns were 5.7 | ounces in gold per ton. In the other a similar | | strike was made, where the solid ore ylelded | & combined value of $60, of which 15 ounces | were in silver and the greater part of the resl- | due was gold. In other portions of Clear Creek | | County it is one of the characteristics of the | mines that gold and silver are found together, in constant association from the shallow work- | ings to the dees levels. | In Summit County surprising discoverfes are | of frequent occurrence. A case in point Is a | recent strike of free gold ore In the Germania mine, which has heretofore been noted for Its | high-grade siiver and lead product. In follo ing the main silver vein a streak of iron was encountered in which free gold was found, from which grab and average eamples returned as- | says of 75 and 20 ounces of gold, respectively. It is the frequency of discoveries of this kind | in all the leading silver producing camps of | the State that gives continued new impetus to | the development of the mines and adds no in- | considerable part to the mineral wealth of Colo- rado. The London correspondent of the New | York Commerclal sees a large demand | for copper in the near future, owing to many conditions. He says: “The great developments now taking place in Eng- in the application of electric trac- tion and power, the additional telegraph cables about to be laid (including the Pa- cific cable of 8800 miles, estimated to re- quire some 4000 tons of copper), the large quantity of copper used for ammunition, and the additional 5000 tons required for the manufacture of sulphate of copper during the next six months, will neces- sitate a great increase in the consump- tion of copper in this country for the rest of this year.” The Mariposan editorially dwells on the mining operations in Mariposa Coun- It says: Hardly a week passes in which renewed inter- est in this county is not manifested. The de- velopment work being done by the Mariposa Commercial and Mining Company is on a more gigantic scale than that of any other one com- pany or owner in the county, and while more agtention is paid to the operations on their properties than to others, still they are in pos- session of but a small part of the mining in- terests of the county. In all directions, from the copper mines In the southern part of the county to the mines north and east of Couiter- ville, come reports of work being recommenced on old mines and the location and development of new claims. * * * It was but a short time ago, to be reckened in weeks, when there was not a stamp drop- pirg In the county. With the extensive devel- opment going on, which is backed by capital not recklessly expended, and which is not risked | without more than a probability of its being materially increased, a truly bright and pros- perous future seems opening up for old Marl- posa. In former days gold was taken from her many mines in astounding quantities, and it is not claimed even by the most thoughtless that the supply is exhausted. With machinery vastly superior to that used In early days it is no more than reasonable to believe that as yet centage of her mineral wealth. Mineral Wealth, published at Redding, Shasta County, is trying to coax the northern counties of California to exert themselves more toward showing that they “are still on the map.” ' The South- west Miners’ Assoclation has appointed a committee to arrange for a complete exhibit of metals and minerals from Southern California at the next annual meeting of the International Mining Con- gress, to_be held at Boise City next July. Mineral Wealth says: Southern California has benefited by pursu- ing a liberal policy in inviting and encourag- ing the advent of outside capital. Where local capital is inadequate, It is beneficial to all to welcome the outside Investor, and where ADVERTISEMENTS.

Intelligent selfishness, therefore, should bring about change of method in this end of the St we should be as active as our Southern neih- bors, as we will surely not suffer from com- parison. The six_Southern California countles of Angeles, Kern, Riversid: Diego and Ventura_pr The six Northern California counties—Sh: Trinity, Siskivou, Lassen, Humboldt and Norte—produced $5,589,446 during the same vear. These figures cover the production of ver and copper and show the com; value of the two Cistricts, and yet we are si lent, while cur southern neighbors are publish ing’to the world the advantages offered & thelr section for the investment of mining capital. The annual convention of the California Miners’ Asscciation will be opened in this city Monday, November 16, and will con- tinue three days. Secretary E. H. Benja- mir has sent out official notice. The call for the maeting is signed by President W. €. Ralston and Secretary Benjamin. Therein a large attendance of delegations is requested and the customary reduction in way fares Is announced. Among the topics to be considered by the convention is that of securing a new State mining lo- cation law from the next Legislature. The conflict between the scrippers and the glacer locators of mineral oil lands will e a topic of interest. The constitution and by-laws of the association may be Tevised to effect a pariial TeorganiZation. Mr. Benjamin says the association needs a salaried secretary to carry out in detall the work ordered by it. The result would be a large increase in the membership, which ought to be at least 15,000 The present membership s between %00 and 0,000. Mr. Benjamin also makes the fol- lowing suggestfons: One of the many things the association could do is the establishment of a registration bureau for the miners, millmen, foremen, assayers, mining engineers, surveyors and so on, by which employers and employes could be brought together. During the past two years [ have kept such a register and nave filled probably seventy-five positions of all kinds through people registering for employment aad employ- ers coming or writing in search of help. This work could be greatly expanded if tue neces- sary time could be constantly given to Ii. The association could maintain a burean of general minink Irformation, do much to broad- ly advertise the industry, and its headquartrs should be the constant meeting place ci vistt Ing mining men from all over the State. As it is the work of the secretary is a ssvera tax on his time and business. To miake the as- sociation the constant and active force it might be plainly requires the undivided rime of an efficlent executive officer. The Caminetti law and the injunction suits concerning several hydraulic mines will take up some of the time of the con- ve_‘pfilon. e county registers of mining, compiled by State Mineralogist Cooper. are at last coming from the press and the maps will soon follow. They were held up when the a uced $1.616,208 in State Printing Office was closed. While there must be some errors owing to t lapse of time and changes since they we prepared, they contain much information value.
