Archie Campbell brought suit yesterday the Justice’s Court against Chief of olice Wittman and Property Clerk Wil- Dinan to recover $185 alleged to have been illegally withheld from Harry W. crt, who is charged with having stolen goods in the East. The complaint states 4t Covert assigned the money to. p- who emploved John W. Koch as his rney, to whom he owes $25 as a fee. —_———————— Lectures on Protection. John P. Young gave a lecture last night the Academy of Sciences to a large ence. The subject talked upon was rotection as an Elimination of Waste." Mr. Young ably handled the question and pointed out the manifold advantages of protection,” its value to the wogking- n as well as to the manufacturer, stat. i that statesmen of every country should recognize its economic value and thus protect the laboring classes. next winter, | eptember af- | that | ng from consumption or | CITY 70 WEAR FESTIE ATTIRE Fythians Collect Funds to Decorate Main Streets.

In order to d { orate and illuminate the city for the oc casion and fittingly entertain the visit- ors a great sum of money will be re- quired. The Palace Hotel has gubscribed { $1600, the Union Trust Company has given | $250 and Foster & Fay of the Grand Ho- tel added $200 as their share. These | amounts are the best indications that the | business men of San Francisco fully ap- | preciate the importance of the coming | of s0o many visitors to the city. The most encouraging reports, daily from different parts of the country show | that “the gathering ~will be the largest ever held in this city. The Sacramento | Chamber of Commerce has appropriated $1000 to aid the exhibit of products from the Sacramento district. That sum is in jaddition. to what other industrial and { commercial organizations of Sacramento County will subscribe.

Excellent Work Done in Last Year by Members of Association. The annual meeting of the South Park Settlement was held yesterday at the Resident House, 86 South Park, aid new officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: Directors—Mrs. Phebe A. Hearst, Frank J. Symmes, Dr. Alonzo A. Taylor, E J. Me- Cutchen, Mrs. Mary W. Kincaid, Dr. Ken- drick C. Babeock, Sheldon G. Kellogg. Council—Mrs. Mary W. Kincaid, Henry C. Babeock, Miss G. Parker, J. G. Howell Jr., Miss Virginia Fitch, Miss Fanny McLean, Miss Harvey Anthony, Miss Jessica Peixotto, Miss Mabel Gray, Miss Clara Safford, Miss Annie Crane, Miss Mary McEwen, Miss Lucille Eaves, Willlam_Denman. The council will meet at a date in the near future and elect ofticers. The pres- ent officers probably will be re-elected. Miss Lucilie Eaves, resident in charge of the settlement, filed an encouraging annual report. The settlement moved into its new quarters in South Park in March, 1%1, ard since that time shops, club and reading rooms and quarters for the resi- dent tforce e been established. The Shaw Gymnasium in the rear has a seat- ing capacity of 400 and may be readily converted into a theater, lecture, concert or dance hall. Tne permanent resident force consists | of three men and six women, and of the latter three give their entire time to settlement ~work. ~ During the year two singing . classes were. main- tained, as were also two or three classes {in manual training. The younger chil- | dren *‘were given simple gymnasium drills and frequent shower baths.”” A course of six lectures on California his- tory was given, and an excursion on the | bay, as well as several outings given the | Mothers’ Clubs, served :to render .the memories of the'year very pleasant. During the year 28 setilement clubs were organized, with a total weekly at- tendance of over.400. Each of the clubs has its own officers and ‘all business' is transacted with a due regard to parlia- | mentary practice. Of the clubs organ- ized 8 are for women, 8 for girls, 2 for young men, 7 for boys and 2 are made up of young men and women. The Christmas holidays were days of joy to the children in the vicinity of the | settlement, hundreds of whom were fur- | nished with good cheer. -A feature of the weekly meetings is the stereopticon lec- tures,” which attract large gatherings to the settlement. The report includes many valuable suggestions, one of which is as follows: | Another important branch of settlement work | which should recefve more attention in the | future is that of legal aid to the people of | the neighborhood. ‘We have had several cases Where most timely and substantial assistance has been rendered. Under present conditions the poor and ignorant have little chance of securing a redress of Wrongs in our courts. 1t is hoped that we may have established some definite period for free consultation at the set- tlement house and that we can secure the co- operation of several lawyers in the handling of such worthy cases as we may find in ouf neighborhood. Nearly all the officers were present, and | after Miss Eaves read her report its fea- tures were discussed by Willilam Denman, who uvrged the establishment of a free clinic- for giving legal advice to the poor under the protection of the settlement. An address along the same lines was made by Dr. Babcock. The meeting was followed by a reception and light lunch- eon. County Clerk Wants Extra Clerks. County Clerk Mahony filed a petition with Mayor Schmitz yesterday that he recommended to the Supervisors the ap- poigtment of ten additional clerks in the | office. Mahony represents that the work in ihe probate department is far behind that he he says should be Accompanying Ma- another signed by two hundred attorneys requesting . that | the extra clerks be employed. Mayor | Schmitz_promised to investigate the ne- | cessity for the appointments and said he { would make the desired recommendation | should he find that the work In the County Clerk’s office warrants it. | and it 1s absolutely necessary ! have extra men, whom | paid $100 per month. { hony’s petition was A SMALL SORE CAME ON THE INSIDE OF HIS LIP. About the first of February, 1899, I noticed a small lump on the inside of my lower lip. It annoyed me comsiderably; the doctor cauterized it and in a few days it dropped off, but shortly after another came and broke into an open sore, and in spite of the large number of remedies T tried, it would not heal. I thén went to another, and he gave me something to put on the sore, saying if it did not cure he would cut the sore out. I used his medicine, but received no benefit, I de- cided a blood purifier was what I needed, and began to take 8. S.S. The ulcer was growing rapidly, with some pain and a crawling, creeping feeling. . At first §. S. S. seemed to make the sore worse, but this soon changed, and after I had taken seven bottles the place healed entirely; my general health improved and I am as well now as ever and no signs of the dis- ease have been seen since.

Every mining ‘section is active. Pros- pectors were never more numerous in re- cent years than now, nor were there at any time more companies planning to test the mineral resources of the Pacific Coast to their fullest ~extent. This fully holding its share of attention, as new enterprises indicate~very clearly. In the movement now under way to boom the resources of California the mining in- dustry bids fair to be assisted very largely by: the efforts of the State Min- eralogist, who is sending out a flood of ! exact information in bulletins, maps and | registers. In no section-is there any com- plaint of lack of water. The copper in- dustry would seem to be about to move forward again, as the Copper Mountain Company at Keswick, which always fur- nishes a fair indication of the drift of events, will increase its working force. “Butte County’s Outlook. The Oroyille Register is deyoting much space to recapitulating the advantages of Butte County for mining and makes an excellent showing. In a summary are the following ' observations: Dredger mining is now one of the most im- | portant forms of mining in the county, re- quiring large capital .and giving employment to many men. This kind of mining is too impor- tant to be touched upon in a general way and will be’ made the subject of the last of these articles upon the resources of Butte County. Bome of the points most deserving of notice in connection with mining in.Butte is at Bangor, where the Blue:Lead is the. principal source of wealth. At, Cherokee is the most extensive hydraulic mine in the county. inches of water are used and the banks that are washed down aré over 400 feet in height. On Morrls Ravine are several very profitable mines. All of these are worked by drifts and ‘contain-coarse ér nugget gold. On the Magalia | ridge are very extensive gravel mines and along Butte’' Creek Is one of the.richest seetions ol the county.. Many millions of dollars have bee) taken from the mines of Butte and they hav built up and made noted a number of towns and mining camps. We belleve it a fair es- timate to say that more than one-fifteenth of the people are directly or indirectly dependent upon mining for a living. This is exclusive of the men employed tn dredger mining near Oro- ville. The Bridgeport Chronicle-Unlon says: Brenton is having a mining boom. Twenty- one deeds have just been recorded with County Recorder Delury, conveying the mining proper- ties in Montgomery mining district, located and controlled by S. P. Lines and J. B. Cowan. The properties were purchased by the Whits Mountain Mining Company, a corporation or- ganized under the laws of the State of Dela- ware. The deeds cover about forty claims, to- gether with water rights and mill site loca- tions, and it s the intention of the corpora- tion to begin work on an extensive scale, Thorough tests have been made and good values obtained from the ores in this group of mines. . A letter from a Dawson correspondent brings the following information: Sniffen and Welch on No. 1 Little Skookum, at the foot of Cheechaco Hill, have struck a sclid quartz lead over six feet in width, car- rying free gold and concentrates of gold bear- ing pyrites of galena. A shaft eighteen feet deep has been sunk, The ore in this shatt is the same as found in some of the veins on the Lone Star group at the head of Victoria Gulch, | The lead seems to have about the same trend | of the Lone Star leads, running northwesterly and southeasterly, being, it is said, a continua- tion of one of the Lone Star leads, about five miles northwest of the Victoria discovery. Mr. Sniffen_lives on a fraction of No. 1A, above discovery oh Bonmanza CreeK. &nd is'at present sinking the prospect shaft into the ore body. On the Mother Lode.

H.» Me- CANCEROUS ULCERS develop sometimes from very trifling causes, and when and where you would least expect | them. A boil, or abscess, burn, blister, wart, tumor, mole, or the simplest little pimple may be the beginning point of a malignant, frightful looking Cancerous Ulcer. Apparently there is no difference between a Cancerous and Common Ulcer when i they first make their appearance, and for this reason every ulcer, no matter how insignificant or harmless it may seem, and all slow healing sores should excite suspicion and cause alarm, particularly if any of your ancestors ever had Cancer, or you have good reason to think your blood is impure; for the sore, after all, is only the outgrowth, the external evidence of polluted blood, and nothing can check its progress until the cancer tainted, vitiated blood has been purified. All efforts to heal the ulcer by means of salves or other external remedies will result in failure, for such treatment can have no possible effect upon the deadly germs and morbid matter that form in the blood and are carried through the WOULD SCAB OVER, BUT NOT HEAL. Mr. Jno, Massie, Owensboro, Ky., writes: ‘“About three years ago a blister came on the right side of my nose. Itgrew steadi- ly inspiteofallefforts toheal it up; the pain was not very severe at first, but increased when the sore began to inflame and dis- charge matter.

[+ Gowan and a partner are opening a new mine called the Thanksgiving. Promising developments are reported | from the Jawbone district. The Cannady | Gulch quartz mine near Columbia has been bought by J. W. Larson. Two tracts of land on Table Mountain, west from Jef- fersonville, have been bonded by Albert McCusker and B. O. Webb of Los An- geles. ¢ According to the Calaveras Citizen about $1000 was taken out in two weeks from a mine five miles north of Valley Springs by Hans Bauer and Frank Jantza. Another shaft, 200 feet deep, will be begun at once at the Fannie Marie mine. The Round Butte mine has been shut down and there is some uncertainty as to plans for the future. The Stockton Independent says of the plans of the Utica Company: The Utica Company of Angels is soon to en- large its electric plant, situated just east of Murphys. Preliminary ‘work has begun. In a short time a new difch will bé dug to accom- modate another pipe line from the big tank on the mountain. The work naw in contem- plation will take several months and when completed the plant will be ‘an up-to-date es- tablishment. The increased demand for power all along the line and throughout the mining sections has no doubt prompted this decision fer improvements. At the present time power is furnished for the mine and mill at Sheep Ranch and the mines and mills at Angels. ‘Angels and Murphys are also lighted from this scurce. Bailey Goes South. Professor G. k. Bailey of the Statq Min- ing Bureau has been sent to San Bernar- dino County by State Mineralogist Au- bury for the purpose of compiling a min- eral map and register of the county, upon which will be located definitely every mine and mineral deposit known to exist in the county. Professor Bailey has al- ready distinguished Rimself in connec- tion with the work of the State Mining Bureau by a remarkable exposition of the wonderful country known as Death Valley, which is full of information and yet reads as charmingly as any romance. The San Bernardino County people have been invited to extend all possible as- sistance to Professor Bailey. He will be several weeks in that section. The water supply in Siskiyou County promises to hold out well. According to the Yreka Journal the February storms and cold weather in March solidified the spow on the hills so that it melts slowly. All the claims at Little Humbug are.well supplied for successful operation. A five stamp mill will be placed by Ogden & -Clifton —mear Virginia bar on Dutch Creek. A modern quartz mill will also be laced on Schroeder's new mine at the gesd of Lime Gulch on Deadwood Mount- ain, Partles are washing tailings at the old Greeenhorn mine, realizing good pay. The Oroville Mercury reports that Co- Jusa people will operate at Bidwell Bar, having located a mining claim there. The Mercury says: Bidwell Bar was the first mining camp of importance in the State outside of the polnt of original discovery at Coloma. Six weeks after Marshall's discovery of gold John Bid- well washed Feather River gravels a few miles below Oroville, and, finding gold, followed up the stream until he discovered the wonderfully rich bar which took his name. ' He imme- diately began mining and witiyn two years Bldwell Bar was a city of 5000 miners. = The gravels were fabulously rich and hundreds of dollars were often secured by an industrious miner In a single day. The Redding Searchlight says that a re- cent visit of A. H. and Charles Wollpert of San Francisco to the National mine would seem to be precedent to a renewal of activity at that property on Rich Gulch. ? Important Experiment. The Los Angeles Times says: ‘An experiment in metallurgy is about to be tried near the city of cott, Ariz. on.a large scale. ge A.

The Herald says: For many years Mexicans and Indians have been washing out large amounts of gold from all three rivers and their tributaries, but never has machinery been used which would permit the deep dredging of the sands. A company composed of Cincinnati, Chicago, and New York people is securing placer ciaiis along the river beds, and by the erection of a system of dams and flumes expects to simultaneously wash the sands along the several miles of the rivers and with the aid of great dredgers go to bed- rock for the gold, which by virtue of its weight must be deposited there. There is a great amount of prospecting in the Providence range of mountains in San Bernardino County. Several deposits of ore carrying high values in gold have recently been discovered and great ledges of hematite have been uncovered on the west slope. The Providence Gold and Cop- per Company is also opening up some preperties in the Arrow distriet, which is near by. : FOUR-BILLION-DOLLAR MAINS IS INDICTED Is Charged With Attempt to Bunko Dr. Bennett Out of $3000. The Federal Grand Jury yesterday re- ported a true bill of indictment against Charles R. Mains, the representative of a fake four-billion-dollar syndicate. The indictment contains three counts, each one of which charges Mains with having devised a scheme to defraud Dr. Charles E. Bennett of Wauseon, Ohio, out of money, which scheme was to be effected by communication with Bennett through the postoffice. The indictment charges further that Mains attempted to secure from Bennett $3000 in consideration of his making Bennett president of the four- billion-dollar syndicate. Each count quotes a long letter from Mains. to his intended victim, and the allegation is made that he posted or caused to be post- edfihese letters in the United States mails. Dr. Bennett would have sent the $3000 to Mains had he not been warned in time by his banker., He will appear at the trial as a witness against Mains. — e Another Track Contemplated. ‘The maintenance of way department of the Southern Pacific Railroad is figuring on the cost of another track from Port Costa _to Davisville. The railroad com- pany- finds that its traffic necessitates an- other track. The proposed track is in embryo, but if it is bullt patrons of the n‘md will receive better and faster ser- vice. FIGHT FOR FAIR ESTATE 15 OVER Executors Are Defeated in Their Final Effort. “Rehearing denied.” With this brief ex- pression the Supreme Court yesterday forever settled the executors’ fight for the control of the millions left by the late James G. Fair. The last resource has been exhausted and now the Fair heirs can divide and spend the enormous for- tune involved in the litigation as suits their own desires. The court annulled Fair's will part and parcel a listle less than a month ago. B Phe terme of the will William S. Good fellow, James Angus, Thomas Crothers and their successors were empowered to control the estate after the death o‘ o Fair's three children, By the decision the Supreme Court, thé property, both real and personal, passes immediately into the hands of Charles Fair, Virginia Vanderbilt and Theresa Oelrichs.
