SAN FRARCISCO'S | LEADING THEATRE | and | REPORT AGAINST GRADE GHANGES Supervisors Decide Not to Disturb Market Street. Claim Is Made That the City Sweeping Specifications Are Altered. The joint Bupervisors' Committee on Judiciary and Streets yesterday reported adversely to the recommendation of the Board of Public Works that the grades be lowered on Market street from Va- lencia to Sanchez at an estimated cost of $1,100,000. A large number of protes- tants against the scheme appeared before | | the committee. They expressed their in- | tention to clalm damages in varying| amounts if the changes were made. Sev-| eral property owners, however, favoced the improvement. On Supervisor Comte’ motion a resolution was ordered drawn up stating that it is inexpedient to change | the grades. Comte suggested that the Finance Committee investigate at whose dicection the Board of Works had ex- pended large sums of money in engineer- ing work on a scheme that is looked upon as inadvisable. Comte held that the Su- rs should have been consulted in the matter. | The committee requested the Board of | Works to make a survey of Lyon street | from Union to the bay granted by the | United States to the city and county and | report a list of obstructions within the lines so gurveved. The Supervisors’ joint Committee on Streets and Finance listened to the pro-| test of Gray Bros. against a resolution | passed by the Board of Works permit- | ting the City Street Improvement Com- pany to use “block men” employed in | eping streets of the first class to | | sweep_streets of the second class. H. Gray held that such a concession w | the nature of discrimination -against | other contractors. Gray protested against allowance being made for the work in the demands of the City Street Improve- ment Company for cleaning streets dur- | ing July in the sum of $14,260 14 and $479 67 | | on account of the specifications ha\'ingl been changed. Gray and J. W. McDon- | ald, president of the City Street Im-| provement Company, indulged in a wordy | war on the point. i “If 1 can prove that you have mu!cxed1 the city out of $5000 on this contract last vear,” said McDonald, “1 presume you | | are good for it.” | “Yes, I am,” replied Gray, “and I can | probably tell a few things about you.” ! The committee decided to allow the de-! mands of the City Street Improvement | Company for July, and requested the Board of Works to report if there is any saving under the new system of using “block men” on streets of the second | cla If such a saving is effected the | amount wiil be deducted from future bills | | for stre eping. | The Judiciary Committee rejected the demand for $25,000 made by the widow and | son of Joseph Pedro, who was Killed by | Officer Crackbon. | | Doctor Stops a Runaway. | Dr. Thoma Maher, who is stationed at the Park Emergency Hospital, pre-| | vented a serious accident yesterday. A | large number of women and children | were standing around the Haight street entrance of the park then a frightened horse attached to a light buggy came tearing along Stanyan street. Dr. Mahe! who was standing near by, jumped | front of the frightened animal and stopped it before he dashed among the rightened onlookers. ‘ e e R S No Money for Fredrick. Auditor Baehr has declined to audit a | salary demand of $493 drawn in favor of | P. Fredrick, late Justices' Court Clerk. | ‘The éemand covered the months of April | | and May, for which George McComb, the | legal clerk, received pay.

All Modern and Sanitary Re- quirements Have Been Utilized. | The new Harbor police station on | Drumm and Commerclal streets, un- like its predecessors, will be a thing of beauty and a joy forever. The work of remodeling the interior will be completed in & few days and it will stand as an evi- dence of what good taste combined with | a desire for sanitary requirements can do | when efficiently directed by the head of a department who has the interests of his ! men at heart. H The building a few weeks ago was used | as a store room for a stove foundry, and | its exterfor and interfor presented any- thing but an encouraging prospect to work upon. Chief Wittman, who made a study of police stations while in the East some years ago, drew up a plan of what he wanted done and the resuit is astonishing. | The Board of Supervisors provided the necessary funds, and those who have in- spected the building recently, with its | terra cotta front, are highly gratified at the work done and the splendid appear- | ance of the place. Captain Dunleavy and ! the cther officers and men are also de- | lighted. pf The first floor is utilized as offices on one side and on the other there are three ! cells and two box stalls for the patrol | wagon horses. There is a wide driveway in the center entering from Commercial | street and with an on Drumm street. | In front of the box stalls are patent | swinging harness with lightning hitch, the | same as used in the fire department. The | second_floor is utilized as an assembly feet, each man having his | locker. It'is finely lighted, windows be- ing all round both streets. The third floor | will be utilized as a gyvmnasium. There are electric lights throughout the entire bullding. = l AL BB ‘ HOPE EXPRESSED THAT | DILLARD WILL BE CAUGHT | Special Revenue Agent Thomas Has | Been on Trail of Fugitive for Two Months. United States Marshal Shine expressed the opinion yesterday that the capture of | ‘William H. Dillard, the absconding inter- nal revenue clerk, would be effected with- | in a few weeks. United States marshals ! and United States internal revenue offi- cers all over the country have been noti- fled and furnished with photographs and descriptions of him. Spacial Revenue Agent Burt M. Thomas, | as soon as the discovery of the forged Chinese registration certificates had been made, sent out photographs and notices to officials in every State in the Union, the photographs having been taken recently by Deputy Driscoll in his office. | About three weeks ago a negro resem- bling Diilard's description was arrested in St. Louis on sus on of being the fugi- tive, but investigation showed that tne ! wrong man had been arrested. Dillard's ace, once seen, is not easily forgotten. | He may be segregated easily from the or- dinary colored man by his voice, manner, ; habits and mode of life. ———————— MRS. DE LA GUERRA HELD TO ANSWER BIGAMY CHARGE | Her Attorney Will Attempt to Secure | Her Release on a Writ of Habeas Corpus. Three defendants were held to answer before the Superior Court by Judge Mo- gan yesterday. Mrs. Francesca Maria de la Guerra, the much married woman, was keld on a charge of bigamy. Walter Gal- lagher, her attorney, at once applied for a writ of habeas corpus before Judge Cook and it was made returnable August 23. The defendant was released on $250 cash ball pending the hearing. Bernard Vedner, 17 years of age, was held to_answer on two charges of rob- ber On the night of July 21 he attacked e, Lee Joe and Wong Bing, with brass knuckles and after knocking | them down robbed them. Two other charges of robbery are pending against . Francis P. Hienemann was held on a | charge of grand larceny. He was valet | for S. Prentiss Smith of 2400 Clay street, | who s paralyzed on one side. On July | 14 Hienemann stole $3 in currency from | | his employer and spent the money in‘one night. —————— RIORDAN AND LANDE FAIL TO GET ADDITIONAL FEE Judge Troutt Decides Against Attor- neys for Executors of Estate of Julius Friedman. Judge Troutt decided yesterday that Rior- of the estate of Julius Friedman, are not entitled to any more fees just at present, | and refused to make an order allowing them $5000, as petitioned for several months ago. They have already received | $15.000 for the services rendered by them to Edward Lande, Julius Friedberg and | William Alvord, the executors. Edward Lanle, one of the executors, is also a member of the law firm of Riordan & %undh which asked for the additional ees. Judge Troutt approved the annual sup- plemental account of the Friedman execi- tors, with the exception of two items, one a claim of P. Abrahamson for $450 as su- | perintendent of part of the estate, the | other the claim of J. J. Quinn, a clerk in the office of Riordan & Lande, for $% as services as bookkeeper. Troutt allowed Abrahamson $150 and struck out Quinn's claim entirely. el S B G Town Tallk.

Purchases of Ore Deposits in California Are Effected. Lack of water in the far north is com- plained of as a serious drawback to min- ing operations. In the Nome district, when work should be at its height, ac- cording to the Nome News, the creeks are running sluggishly, if at all, and from all over the country comes the com- plaint of “no water.” The best claim on | Oregon Creek has had but three days of | sluicing this year. Anvil and Dexter are | comparatively idle. The best creeks m} Cougar are at a standstill. Council is | favored with heavy streams, hut even | there big ditches are found to be neces- | sary and are being built. The Nome News says that the waters of the Snake and Nome rivers and of Bering Sed must be turned into the hills by means of large ditches and pumping plants. The fol-| lowing is an extract from a long article on this subject: A substantial start Las been made In this | direction, but even among mine owners the full import of this work s realized by but few. The Miocene ditch, we are informed by ! one far seeing and practical mining man, will be an Immense success. The Wild Goose pump- ing plant will successtully fill its intended mis- sion. Mr. Kelly is now planning to put water in the footbills by means of a series of pump- ing plants, but the work of the prospector dur- ing the past year has demonstrated beyond the peradventure of a doubt that these people are only at the beginning <f the solution. Where their combined water supply will amount to 2000 Inches, less than 50 sluice heads, 20,000 inches of water will, in time, be found inade- quate for the region between Snake and Nome rivers. It will cost millions of dollars to solve | this problem, but the returns of one season vill repay it all and then indeed will the coun- be entitled to proclaim its greatness. Some of the big companies are beginning to sec and work out their own salvation. little fellows—the pogr claim owners get together along the lines followed in other mining countries, and work out theirs. LARGE DEALS ARE MADE. The Redding Free Press says: Even since the Tarbet mining syndicate of Salt Lake City first bonded the Afterthought | | | copper and gold mine near old Furnaceville | has its affalrs been more or less velled with | | | | | mystery. But aftar the expiration of two | working bonds and a period of comparative | idleness it is now stated on pretty good au- thority that the Tarbet syhdicate at last owns | the full interests of the mine, hading pald for them about $100,000. It is stated that of the | amount paid for the property Mr, Enright gets | about $80,000 and the heirs about §20,000. Tar- | bet’s men have charge and are doing some | work. The Afterthought comprised eighty acFes | on section 11, The Donkey mine is on this sec. | tion, too. A mine owner of the vieinity re- | cently applied to the railroad to purchase part | of the section. He was informed that it had | been sold. He now understands that the Tar- | bet syndicate owns everything on section 11 | except the Donkey mine, i A large deal In mining properties has | in_Siskiyou County. | The sum of $100,000 is involved. The Yreka Journal gives the following ac- count of the matter: i An extensive mining deal has been made by M. M. Hough to Raphael Phillips of several mining claims and ditches at Scott River, the onsideration being $100,000 in Installments. | The property consists of the Quartz Hill, Ryan ‘ and California mines, including the ditch from | Mill Creek to Hooper Hill, the ditch to Poor- | man's Bar; also the Ryan, Tom Smith, Ed; Reynolds, Jeffer, or new ditch, and the Hicks | ditch, together with all the glants, pipes nml; other apparatus. This property will be worked | on an extensive scale as soon as arrangements | Good returns have been | obtained during past years from all this mining | ground, ~and there is undoubtedly a great | amount of gold in the remaining unworked | sections. Scott River was the first place in | the county where good diggings were discov- | ered by partles coming up the Klamath River ' is certainly good diggings still undisturbed in that section, though requiring considerable cap- | ital and machinery to work them successfully | in uncovering steep hillsides by delving into the | mountains and deep down into old channels. FAIR ESTATE CONCERNED. The Angels Record says: Another mine 1s added to the list of Angels | mines, being the Crystal. It Is one of the old- time producers, but for many years has been | In the early sixties this mine was worked to a depth of 191 feet, at which point rock was | taken out three tons of which panned out $15,- | 000. This rock was at that time worked In an arrastra, so that with the present Improved ma.- | chinery it would do much better, as at that | time such a thing as saving the sulphurets was | unheard of. Later the property passed into | but now the Fair estate will reopen it. It ad- Jofns the Lightner on the west and the shaft | will be retimbered at once. An engine, boiler | and a hoist capable of sinking 1000 feet will | be here next week, o that work will com- | mence at once. W. Morehead, formerly of the App, is in cRarge of the mine. The people of Nevada are exulting over | the end of the litigation concerning the | Pennsylvania mine, for the reason that! work in the mine will be resumed with- out delay. The 18th inst. is the date set for resumption. Prior to the suit that | tied the property up there were seventy men on the pay roll. The works are re- ported to be entirely free from water. erty for the purpose of reporting to a commission which will fix tire damages in the controversy between the Pennsyl- vania and the W. Y. O. D. mine. The papers published at Nevada City, has suspended work for the present and fifty- | three men have been discharged who have been working since the litigation was | started. When the W. Y. O.” D. will re- | sume the officers of the company declined to say. The Bridgeport Chronicle-Union says that the Crystal Lake Mining Company at Lundy is working about one hundred men and is running fifteen stamps and making preparations to put in five more.

The Murphys correspondent of the Cal- averas Prospect writes that several min- ing properties in that vicinity have re- cently changed owners and other prop- erties -are under bond. The movement is Principally north of Murphys and between that place and Sheep Ranch. The Beat- rice-Roble Company is rushing work by day and night. According to the Sonora Union-Demo- crat the shaft in the Soulsby mine is nearing the 300-foot mark. Work will probably be resumed in the Alameda mine upnder the new management. A contraet as been let for sinking the shaft 100 feet the Sullivan mine, near Black Oak. The shaft at the Republican mine will he sunk 600 feet and a contract has been let for the dam on Woods Creek. The Mother Lode Banner says that a $6000 pocket has been opened by the O'Haras. The ten-stamp mill at the Goldwin mine on the river above Carter is running steadily. Two-thirds of the Bald Mountain pocket claim, owned by James May, has been leased to W, D, Chambers and W. J. Larsen, The Grass Valley Union and Herald re- perts that the South Fork gravel mine 2t Forest City Will be operated by East. ern men. The Redding Searchlight says that a carload of ore from the Coeur d'Alene mine at Wardner, Idaho, has been re- ceived at the smelter at Keswick. It was probably forwarded as an _experiment. Heretofore the ore from Wardner has Leen forwarded to Omaha, ‘The Nevada Clty Transeript reports that a company composcd of San Fran- cisco parties_will operate the Colombo mine, near Sierra City. Captain Buck- lev has arranged to reoven the old Em- | Committee of Kings, ORDER TANKAGE ON VAST SCALE Tfn'ee Million Barrels of Qil Are to Be Stored. Two Companies Make Movse That Implies Large Demand. The Standard Oil Company has ordered tankage to provide for the storing of 700,- 000 additional barrels of petroleum in the Kern River field. The Southern Pacific Company has also begun to place tanks that will store 2,520,000 barrels of oil along its lines. In view of the fact that only elghteen producing wells were added to the California fields last month and only twenty-one the preceding month the ques- tion is being asked all along the line where the oil is coming from to fill the new tanks, when the demands of many i | other kinds are considered. As oil men | figure it out, the average yleld of wells | i | | | in the Kern River district implies that it would take one year, pumping from eighty wells steadily, to fill all the tanks once. The gencral belief of the oil men is that there must be a larger production of oil than there has been lately. As the | production is better controlled now than formerly, both north and south of Te- hachapi, there may be a chance for the price to appreciate in the near future by reason of the demand. X As a matter of fact, there are indica- tions of renewed activity in the not far distant future in the oil flelds. The rail- road projects that m:‘v affect the Kern County fields, the certainty that the Asso- ciated Oil Company will take some steps to protect itself by securing cheap trans- portation for the output of its many broperties whenever the proper time comes, the near approach of the time when the Standard Oil Company will be forcing oil through its pipe line to tide water at Point Richmond and other cir- | cumstances of common knowledf are | considered unmistakable pointers by the ol people. The latest story is that the Santa Fe is about to extend the Sunset branch line westward. The Bakersfield Californian, which has the advantage as a spectator of being in the center of the operations of the most productive fleld in the State, says: Development must go forward. There is not capacity to meet the demand that is evidently in view by those who, by reason of their control | of things, are able to read the future. But development cannot go forward without a pre- liminary revival in the matter of prices. If the actions or the Standard arc any indication of what is about to transpire, an era of good times in the ofl iudustry is to be expected. There Is, though, the danger always present that the' producers, mitled by their folly or forced by their circumstances, will accede to the desire of the great monopoly to load up its tankage with oil at starvation rates.

The managers of the Cherry Hiil mine, in Siskiyou County, deny a rumor that has been going the rounds that their mins has suspended indefinitely. On the con- trary, so far from this being true, they say they are employing forty men, are vigorously proceeding and have no idea of closing down. The Mining and Scientific Press reports that 800 stamps are now in daily operation on the Treadwell ores at Douglas Island, Alaska. Continuing the Press says: Besides the open quarry work, the y is also opened to a depth of 700 feet, with {housands of feet of crosscutting and drifting. In the quarry, now about 1000 feet long, 400 feet wide and sides each 430 feet high, the ore is broken down by the machines and run through 80-foot raises to the G00-foot level of the mine. From this point it is raised to the surface by means of skips. In the deep work- ings of the Treadwell 2 system has been put in’ operation by which but little timbering is done, and which, it Is said, has resulted % saving of 3% cents per ton in the expense of mining. ‘The ore body at the Treadwell is about 400 feet wide, with well defined walls, but the length and depth of the ore has never been_ determined—it is of such magnitude. The ore is a white quartz and very hard. The values are entirely in gold and mot visible to the naked eye. ADVERTISEMENTS. STILL FURTHER PROOF Where Doctor’s Fail to Cure Woman’s Ills, Lydia E.

The fruit growers of the Sacramento Valley have formulated another plan to ‘wage war on the commission men. Begin- ning next Monday morning the fruit shipped from the valley to this city will be auctioned off to the highest bidders. The auction will take place at Jackson- street wharf and the fruit will be sold in lots to suit the buyers. In this way the Sacramento growers hope to dispose of their fruit at a small profit, and at the same time prevent any interference on the part of the commission merchants. This action on the part of the Sacra- mento growers will be an innovation, as the scheme has never been tried here be- fore except in the sale of oranges. The plan has been tried in the large Eastern cities, and those who are familiar with the business say it met with success. The members of the growers’ assoclation are determined to cut prices and do “any old thing” to successfully compete with the commission merchants. The new plan was decided upon yester- day, and several directors of the grow- ers’ association met and instructed dent Reynolds to make the necessary ar- rzngements to commence the fruit aue- tion. The growers, according to President Reynolds, believe that the auction plan is the best method of placing the fruit on the market. They say that the auction method is necessary to offset the influ- ence the commission men are wielding over the fruit retailers i the effort to whip them into line by the blacklist method. The sentiment among the grow- ers along the Sacramento River is very | strong. and they are determined to win the fight at any cost. They say that they expect the auction prices will be low at first, but as soon as the plan is estab- lished on a running basis they will strengthen.
