WY IRVESTORS Money Put Into Work of Extensions and Purchases. o | Development Goes on With Briskness While the Water Runs. LIS D New mining enterprises and the exten- sion of operations by old companies are reasonably numerous and fairly large. Closely following the news of the deal in- volving the Sweepstakes property comes | a report of the location by a San Fran- cisco company of 1300 acres in Trinity | County, between Rush Creek and Browns | Creek. The company has secured 5000 inches of water and will carry it through | Buckeye Mountain by tunnel. In the mother lode country there is some stir over the copper proposition known as the | Moon mine, on Stony Creek, about six | miles from Jackson. Copper indications | have Leen traced some distance. Going to the southern country the indications of | interest are also marked. Two deals of some size are reported to be pending in| San Barnardino County. The properties in- | volved are the O. K. mine of Virginia Dale and copper mine Oro Grande. In the first instance $250,000 is reported to be the price. Salt Lake people are the re- puted purchasers of the copper proper- ties; the price is mot mentioned. All along the line there is a marked revival of interest as compared with the tondi- tions of ope year ago. To Renew Tin Mining.

The | claim is known es the old Blue Gravel Lead, and is both a surface and deep mine. Decision Is Interesting. United States Judge Wellborn -has de- cided at Los Angeles that mining and smelting companies are subject to the | rights and privileges of the bankruptcy laws and may be thrown into bankruptcy upon petition, exactly as any other manu- facturing concern. The Los Angeles Times | gives an account of the facts in the case in which the decision was rendered as fol- lows: The question came up in the bankruptey pro- ceedings of the Tecopa Mining and Smelting Company, in which one of the creditors, T. A. Brown of San Bernardino, asked that the ad- judication be set aside on the ground that min- ing and smelting companies did not come under the act, which lists those persons and corporations that are amenable, and does not include mining and smelting. E. T. Dunning of the Wholesalers' Board of Trade appeared as attorney of the creditors who wished to have the company declared bankrupt, and gued that smelting was manufacturing. TI View was upheld by Referee Stephens, w handed down & long opinion showing that the producing of “pig” or bullion from ore is ac- tually forming something useful with the aid of hands and machincry, and hence is clearly ow- ever. carry with it, according to the wording of the findings of fact and law, the proposition that mining alone is manufacturing. According to the Shasta County Demo- crat the management of the Mount Shasta Mines Company is negotiating for the pur- chase of more land. Recently the company purchased from Joseph Kahny and D. Lees a one-quarter interest in 120 acres of land on both sides of Clear Creek, ad- joining the Mount Shasta property and owned by Kahny, Lees, N. D. Fowler and H. M. Le Baron. It is tne three-quarter interest of Fowler and Le Baron that the Mount Shasta people are now negotiating for. It is said the company desires this property so they can put in a power plant on Clear Creek with which to furnish power for the new mill and machinery which is to be installed at the Mount Shasta mine. Working on Properties. The Mountain Democrat reports that the new twenty-stamp mill at the River Hill mine is completed. The River Hill Com- pany has begun development work on the Lucky Star mine, one of the properties recently acquired by the company at Pov- erty Point. The Calumet mining property near Kes- wick wiil be operated again, so says the Redding Free Press. The mill was recently destroyed by fire. Almarin B. Paul and Dr. W. H. Garlick are interested in the property. The mine has been idle about ten years. A review of the history of the mines of Leadville is made by the Daily Mining Record, published at Colorado Springs. The first gold 1o be discovered in the Lead- ville district was.found in 1861, in the sum- mer, at the headwaters of the Arkansas River, which later became known as Cal- ifornia Guich. Since then over $20,000,000 in gold has been taken from the aurifer- ous beds, which.are still yielding gold. The first important discovery of carbon- ates was made-at Fryer Hill, occurring first as rich chlorides of silver, lying in blanket formation immediately under the In_the last decade large gold bodies have been discovered in the same locality. The Record makes the claim that Leadville has produced $290,000,000 and is now breaking its past record, The Pacific Coast Miner sees a great boom for the gold-dredging industry /in he north: The old dredging industry may count ‘on being helped by the attention being drawn’ts the Trinity County gravel deposits by the Te- cent important sale of the Sweepstakes prop- erty ano the succeeding development. Trinity County has enormous deposits of auriferous gravels and a great amount of them is very favorably adapted to gold dredging, as success- ful dredging has proved. The more the atten- tion of capital is turned to these great placer fields the more gold dredges will be Installed. —— Contract for Naval Monument. The contract for the erection of the citi- zens' naval monument in Unfon square was recorded Saturday. Thé parties to the contract are James D. Phelan, R. H. Fletcher and Willlam G.

Beer and other intoxicants were to be had in any- thing from a keg to a _mug under the guise of *root beer.” Young boys and women reeled around in a drunken con- dition in Tepper's place yelling lustily, but there were none of the disgraceful scenes that have characterized Upper Fruitvale during the summer months. Comparative quiet reigned on account of the few peo- ple who visited the place, many being un- der the impression that the joints were closed for good. Tepper's and Bauhoffer's places were run in violation of the law. The censes of the proprietors have been re- voked by the Board of Supervisors, yet they continue the sale of liquors. R. E. Taylor, who also lost his license, alone obeyed the mandate of the Super- visors by keeping his doors locked. The Hermitage and Nellson's lcenses do not expire until next month, and these places had a legitimate right to sell liquor, though there were no manifestations of rowdyism around them during the day. Tepper’s Bold Evasion. The visitor to Tepper's place was greeted by a sign as he entered the grounds which read as follows: The laws of the State of California and Ala- meda County prohibit me to sell or give away intoxicating beverages. Therefore please don't ask for any. Bring your refreshments along, sit down and enjoy yourselves. My billiard- room and bowling alley and playground for children are at your service. Orders for the Buffalo Brewery to deliver refreshments for next Sunday may be deposited here. Admission STOCKTON WL DRILL FOR DI California Petroleum Is Turned Into Good Illuminant. ERSEE E. L. Wilhoit, D. C. Shepard, H. A. Wright, B. B. Lyon and Willlam Dudley of Stockton are trying to secure money to drill an experimental well for oil in the foothill region east of Stockton. They urge upon the people that if ofl is struck it will result in bullding up a large amount of manufacturing by supplying cheap fuel. According to the plan an- nounced by the oil company of which they are directors, the sale of stock will cease as soon as money enough is se- cured to drill the first well: A tract of 840 acres has been bonded. 7 There &re several recent indications pointing to the fact that the demand for California petroleum is certain to increase in many directions. The action of the re- clamation districts of the lower Sacra- mento River, which will substitute oil for coal at pumping plants and on dredgers, involves an additional demand for 75,000 barrels of ofl per annum. The smelter at Keswick uses oil for fuel. The Sunset Oil Refining Company’s plant at Obispo, so says the Los Angeles Herald, requires 2000 barrels per day for refining. This is about two-thirds of the total daily output of the Los Angeles local field. The Los Angeles people belleve that the problem of pro- ducing illuminating oil -has been satisfac- torily solved. “It is not generally -known perbaps,” says the Los Angeles Herald, “put it is a fact that the unmixed illum- inating ofl of the Sunset Oil Refinery is on sale In the local market and is pro- nounced by the best of judges to be the equal of the best oil on sale, The refinery uses only heavy crude oll, that which runs from 12 to 18 B. gravity.” ‘With the new demand the Los Angeles surplus ought to be easily handled. The Los Angeles Herald gives the fol- lowing concerning the plant which the oil men hope will solve some of the ques- tions they have: The site chosen for the refinery is of the best. About midway between Long Beach and Ter- minal the company has a-large. tract of land, ample for increasing its output- many fold, while the new harbor .will give it wharfage room of its own. The Unfon Oll Company's pipe line from Whittler and Fullerton to San Pedro harbor. will pass close to the refinery, enabling it to obtain the cheapest transporta- tion, with oll in ample supply, while at present oll Is taken in from the Los Angeles field by rall.

Contrary to the purport of the reading on the sign, however, Tepper sold beer in large quantities to young and old. The visitor was apprised soon after he entered the grounds that if he ordered “root beer’” he would get the real article. Walters rushed around the place with hands full of beer mugs and their pockets full of money. Boys and young women sat around under the trees drinking beer. At least a dozen boys were so intoxicated that they could not conduct themselves with propriety. Although things were run openly no at- tempt was made on the part of the peace officers to interfere. The law-abiding peo- from its own dock on ocean vessels or on cars passing the refinery, there will be the minimum waste of energy on the part of the producers, and the markets of the entire coast and even of foreign countries will be within easy.and economical reach. This refinery started in, however, with the first idea of producing asphaltum, and for that reason the heavier ofl is sought, and the re- finery has been consuming about 1000 barrels a day of crude oil, with cight stills of 150 barrels capacity each. These were found inadequate to supply the demand for asphaltum, and eight more stills have been installed, doubling the capacity of the refinery, while orders received by the company for asphaltum guarantee it a steady run at full capacity. The asphaltum is sold In both liquid and solid form and finds a wide market through American cfties for paving and other purposes, the quality of the product being of the highest standard. - In experimenting with the liquid product of the factory, Mr. Dubbs hit on the so- lution of the production of a high grade of illu- minating ofl, even with the use of the heaviest crude ofl, though of course the percentage of illuminating ofl carried in heavy crude is not as great as that in the light oil, and to preserve the balance, between the demands for asphaltum and {lluminating ofl, the refinery will be able to change from heavy to light ofl according to which product is in greater demand. The Vallejo News says that the yalue of the oil belt lying north of Vallejo and ex- tending from the tules of Napa Creek in a southeasterly direction to Suisun Bay will be tested by the Solano County Oil and Development Company. A contract has been let to the Canfield Drilling Com- pany to sink a well 1000 feet. The Standard Ofl Company “will build additional tanks in the Kern River fleld to supplement the present storage capac- ity. A large boarding house and five smaller buildings will be erected near the tanks for the accommodation of employes. The Bakersfleld Californian finds in the company’'s acts an assurance that the Standard has come to stay. The deepest hole in the Kern River field has been drilled by the Prosperity Com- pany, which has drilled 1585 feet and is ready to sink 400 feet deeper if necessary. Napa County will have a Hhole 2000 feet deep, a contract h:wlni been made by the Fearless Company with Hickey & Veazie to arill to that depth. The Mopunt Shasta Consolidated Com- pany has engaged a new crew of drillers. The Keswick Crude Oil Company will re- sume work. The Bakersfleld Californian says that if the Dixon Company -secures a paying well the Mldwaylg!stflct will be proved to be over a mile wide. According to the Williams Farmer there are five standard rigs drilling for oil in Western Colusa County. Lessees In the Kern County fields are making concessions. The low price of oil has forced certain companies to aban- don their leases, under which -they were obligated to drill a fixed number of wells and to pay large royaltles. The size of royalties has been reduced as a concession by some lessees. The Paeific Oil Reporter says:. ipments of ofl from the Kern River fleld for Jhime ape ‘estimated at 300,000 barrels. Mc- Kittrick added about 30,000 barrels to make up the total output of Kern County of about 330,000, Whittler and Fullerton will make an increase in output this month, while'Los Angeles in the Jast sixty days has probably decreased its out- put from 105,000 barrels to as low a point as 80,000 through cessation of drilling. Ventura County is probably about holding its previous Tecor : ok ple understood that a deputy sheriff had been detailed to arrest any offending sa- loon, men, but none showed up all day. Even when some intoxicated youths dis- turbed the meeting of the Salvation Army, which was held on the street, no attempt was made to restore order, and the re- liglonists were compelled to take the law into their own hands. Offenders Will Be Punished. Tepper’s invitation to visitors to order beer through him from the brewing com- pany for next Sunday’s consumption in- dicates that he intends to make an at- tempt to carry on_the liquor selling busi- ness by evasion. It is stated that he will order beer in the name of his employes ;lx;dc“then retall it to the visitors to his “Tepper has a sign in his place,” sai the Rev. Franklin B.

J. A. Nolan, who was formerly a liquor drummer, paraded and spoke with the Anti-saloon League this afternoon, and in the evening delivered an address in the Presbyterian Church. NHTHES A MODNSHINERS Collector Bell Gathering Reinforcements for the Raid. . NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 21.—Reports from Monterey, Tenn., to-day, near which place an internal revenue raiding party was ambushed by moonshiners Saturday morning, gay excitement in that district is at o hig® pitch. The natives seem to have generally sided with the moonshin- ers and Collector Bell deemed it advisa- ble to take his posse to Cookeville to await the reinforcements which will leave here to-morrow. Every deputy collector and deputy marshal in the district has been summoned to join in the raid which 1s_contemplated. The moonshiners have boasted they will not be taken alive, and as they are well armed and fortified in the mountains, a serlous conflict is expected. ollector Bell reports that one moonshiners, Frank Whittaker, ha:td'l-gs of wounds received in Saturday’s fight and that another, Will Patt, had his leg amputated as a result of a wound re- celved in the same affray. Thomas Prince, the wounded deputy marshal, has been taken to his home in Sparta, while Corder Mackay, the wound- ed posse man, is at Cookeville and is re- ported to be in a critical condition, United States Marshal John Overal will head the reinforcements which leave here to-morrow. ~Colonel Chapman, revenue agent of this district, will also accom- pany. the force, which will dnvade a wild country inhabited by hardy and desper- ate people, almost universally hostile to the “revenue men’ on general principles.

PARIS, July 22.—The elections for the French Councils General took place yes- terday throughout the province, there be- ing 1453 members of these departmental legislators to be chosen In as many can- tons. The importance of the election les in the fact that they serve as a weathercock to show the drift of public opinion re- garding the policy of the central Govern- Although the issues involved are purely local, the voting Is inyvariably con- ducted on strictly partisan lines. More- of the Senate or of the Chamber of Dep- utles, and their re-clection or defeat is indicative of the view their constituents take of their Parliamentary acts. Dispatches from various points show that the elections passed off quietly every- where. The returns as yet are incom- pletg, but such as have been received in- dicate that the Ministerialists have gained a number of seats, principally at the ex- pense of the Radicals and the Conserva- tives. Paul Deschanel, president of the Chamber of Deputies, is among the re- elected councillors, as are also M. Del- casse, the Foreign Minister, and M. Me- line, former Premier. Among the new councillors are Fran- cols Carnot, son of the late President, and Paul Loubet, son of President Lou- bet. Both are moderate Republicans. Returns recefved up to the time of fil- ing this dispatch show the election of 788 Republicans of all shades and 170 Con- servatives, a gain of nineteen for the Re- publicans. WILL REGISTER ALL GRADUATES When Did State Board of Pharmacy Change Its Rules? This much was accomplished by the publication of The Call's story regarding the methods of the State Board of Phar- macy: The graduates of the -California College of Pharmacy will be reg- istered as licentiates without the vexation | of an extra examination at the hands of | the board. The first of The Call’s articles was printed on July 17. On the day be- fore that John Calvert, secretary of the board, informed a representative of The Call that all graduates, without excep- tion, must take examination at the hands of the board. On the day of the publication of that article the same representative of The Call was informed by the State Board of Pharmacy, in full conclave, that it had | been ruled at the June meeting of the board that graduates in pharmacy would be licensed without examination, It was intimated in The Call's story of July 18 that the board, despite this solemn declar- ation, had aménded its rules so as to'ad- | mit these graduates on the day of the gubllcanon of The Call’s first article, and ecause of that publication. Now comes John Calvert, secretary of the board, with the following communica-~ tion, apparently official: The California State Board of Pharmacy held the regular quarterly meeting at Los Angeles | on the th of July, 1801 All the members were present. The meeting continued for four day: and was then adjourned to meet in San Fran: cisco. The board again convened at San Francisco on the i6th of July, all the members being present. The following wer2 registered as licentiates on examination: J. W. Bodemann, M. B. Fel- lows, J. L. Whitlock, H. E. Howard, O. Over- man, W. H. Boydston, S. P. Strange and G. P. Tolman. The following having passed satisfactory examination were registered as as- sistants: F. Van Dam and B. F. Suelfiohn. It was decided that graduates who file appli- cations before the 1st of August, 1901, may be registered as licentiates without examination. JOHN CALVERT, Secretary. Calvert does not say in this apparent extract from the minutes of the board that_the new rule was adopted on Jul Lt ithoe docs he say. that the board, after the meeting on July 16 in this city, was in continuous session for several days. Nevertheless that is the fact. Sec- retary Calvert leaves it to be inferred, in effect, that the new rule was adopted one day prior to The Call's publication. Of course the gentlemen of the State board are welcome to all the comfort the; et out of that. But the secretary should ave been instructed to e his minutes agree with the statements made for publication. EMULATING EXAMPLE OF CARRIE NATION EL DORADO, Kans, July 2L—Seven women headed by Mrs. H. H. Grover, resident of the local Woman’s Christfan R‘emperance Union, entered a joint run by a man named Bush in a tent in the center of town and demolished a tubful of bot- tled beer. They took samples of the li- quor to the Sheriff, who later ordered the jointist to quit business. Five hundred people gathered while the raid was in pro- gress. A jointist in another part of town loaded his stock into a wagon and disap- eared. The women say they propose to Reep up thelr work whenever a jcint opens. At the last city election the town went “wet,”” and for the first time in sev- eral years the joints have been running wide ‘open. LEA%NWORT’H, Kans., July 21.—Mrs. Mary E. Dickens surprised a half-dozen men in John Beachler's policy shop, at 321 Shawnee street, last night and before they had recovered their composure smashed a policy wheel into a hundred pieces with a hatchet. Her boys had gambled in the place. She threatens te smash every pol- icy shop In the city unless the authorities close them. e FALLS DEAD BEFORE - HE FINI THE JOKE LOS ANGELES, July 21.—Colonel Albert Jenks, the well-known artist, dropped dead of heart disease this morning on the street in front of the residence of his friend Mrs. C. B. Bruhn. The latter and H. Langley, the writer and publisher, were walking with him at the time and were laughing and chatting when, with an unfinished joke on his lips, Colonel Jenks pitched forward and was dead. Colonel Jenks was born in New York seventy-five years ago. Early in life he removed to Aurora, Ill., and embarked in the banking business. He also studied painting, but at the outb: .of the civil war deserted business and®art at the call to arms. He served successively under Siegel, Rosecrans, Grant and Sheridan, and at the close of the war had attained the rank of lieutenant colonel. He de- voted himself to portrait painting after the war, and among the distinguished persons whose portraits he painted were President Abraham Lincoln, General Phil Sheridan and General John A. Logan. He leaves two daughters, one the wife of Walter S. Newhall and another who lives at Riverside. LATE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVED. day, July 2L ° TUBE MILL MEN IE DREANIZED One Important Event in Strike of the Steel Workers. —_— Prospect of Trouble When Plants Try to Open With Non-Union Labor. PITTSBURG, July 21.—The important event in the strike history of the day is the organization of the tubemill workers at McKeesport. The word from there to- night is that after long and arduous work Assistant Secretary Tighe of the Amalga- mated Association succeeded in organiz- ing 125 men of the Natlonal Tube Works Company. At the meeting twenty-five skilled men from each of the departments were initlated into_the mysteries of the Amalgamated Assdclation, and Tighe claims that within forty-eight hours enough more workmen will be secured to keep the entire plant closed down, affect- ng men. From Wellsville nothing has been re- ceived here except word that the situa- tion is unchanged, and the strikers say everything is satisfactory to them. It is belleved, however, that an attempt will be made to-morrow to put men to work there from other points, the ten men from Vandergrift who are said to be at East Liverpool ready to go in early in the day being the principal men relied upon for the purpose. While the strikers say they will not commit any overt act, there is an uneasy feeling manifest throughout the entire valley, and no one is willing to an- ticipate the result of the to put these men to worl ‘When seen to-night President Shaffer expressed himself as being more than saf isfled with the week's results. He said: Things are very much better than I thought they would be. More mills are shut down than we anticipated or could expect. There is more determination upon the part of the men than was anticipated. There has been more in- clination to ald us morally and financially on. the part of the other labor organizations and vastly more support from the general public than we were looking for. Last night I recelved a telegram from ot of our men at Duncaneville saying: ‘‘Dun- cansville is out.” At any time within the year we could have formed a compact organi- zation of the mill there. They have sent us dozens of letters and a number of telegrams declaring their anxiety to join our cause. We have lost no ground in the mills thrown idle in Pittsburg. Our organizers at Wells- ville report that after the advent of a soli- tary worker theré from Vandergrift to £o into the mills on Saturday representatives of _the operative spotters scoured Wellsville and East Liverpool to find other men on a similar mis- sion and found not one. I can still repeat that what I have said before in regard to non-union men taking our places. If the United States Steel Corporation officials can get non-unfon men I will help lead the men into the mills. Shaffer would say nothing of the plans of his association during the coming week farther than to reiterate his former stat ments that this programme was perfect- ed and would be carried out to the letter.

Demand a Higher Wage Schedule and a Shorter Work Day. NEW YORK, July 21.—The tailors in the sweat shops all over the Fast Side were called out on strike to-day, in ac- cordance with the decision of the Gar- ment Workers’ Trades Council. The strike committes, which consists of 300 men selected from the various unions af- fected by the strike, started out at 6 a. m. and formed itself into groups, each group assigning itself to a separate section of the East Side. It was estimated that 30,000 workers quit work to-day, and that to-morrow 20,000 more would refuse to work. This estimate includes the Brook- Iyn and Newark (N. J.) shops. A meeting of the Garment Workers' Trades Council was held in the afternoon and it was said that the demand for the abolition of the contracters or middle- men would not be enforced until next year. The demands of the present strike include a higher wage schedule and a shorter work da; o SSEVSEN Y HELD UP BY PICKET MEN. PITTSBURG, July 22, 3 a. m.—A report has just reached here that the strikers at McKeesport, because of persistent rumors that workmen were to be imported, gath- ered to the number of 200 or 300 and picketed the town, holding up every one coming along, and making him give an account of himself. No one was roughly treated but the po- lice force was called out and dispersed the men at 2:45 o’clock. About this time the railroad company began shifting freight cars across the river. The strik ers again gathered, thinking the cars con- tained non-union men, and made a dash for the cars. What may develop later cannot be predicted at this hour. ° INITED STHTE MY RETALIT Increase of Duty on Im- ports Likely to Cause a Tariff War. gropoued attempt Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET. N. W., WASHINGTON, July 21.—KRetaliatory legislation may be enacted by Congrass i2 the German Government vields to the de- mand of Agrarfans and imposes the pro- posed increased dutles on farm products. Representations may be made to Ger- many through Embassador White, pro- tcsting in diplomatic language agamst the proposed Increase of duty, but the Presi- dent can go no further. There can be no retaliation without action by Congress, as there is nothing in the present law au- thorizing the executive department to adopt such measures, except to a very limited extent. aph 626 of the Dlndgley law pro=- vides for the imposition of duty on petro- leum imported from countries imposing duties on American petroleum, and sec- tion § of that law provides for the imposi- tion of countervailing duties on articles for exportation of which from the country of their production a bounty is paid. Neither of these provisions would be of any use in meeting the proposed action of Germany. ‘While the new German dutles are to be general and apply et}uany to imports from all countries, it is felt here they are aimed especlal!g at_the United Stales for the reason that they are to be imposed upon oods imported chiefly from this country. f these new dutles are imposed it will be consistent with the policy which the Agrarians have succeeded in forcing upon the general Government far many years, the same policy which led to restrictions upon the importation of American meats and American frults. Both the executive and Congress have chafed under this hostile attitude of Germany toward | American goods, but no retaliatory action has been taken, though at the time of the prohibition of imvortation of American fruits several years ago, on the plea that there was danger of the introduction of Sung Stmr Greenwood, Fagerlund, 12 hours from DOMESTIC PORTS.
