Supervisor Comte appeared in behalf of the owners of premises at 731 end Washington street, which had been ndemned. Comte said that the owner would do anything the Health Board desired to place the premises in sanitary condition and the board decided Lc inspect the houses before taking action.

For the Inverte- brate forms the best method of catching as to await_the going out of the tide. Small inclosed poois in the reefs then formed natural catch basins of the swarming tropical sea life and by the use of fish poison in these restricted areas a wide and representative collection was made. The bird and insect life of the islands does not present the interesting features | of the shore marine life. They are all imported species, while the shore fishes and invertebrates find an impassable bar- rier in the deej sea and exhibit forms iso- lated there for ages and very different even from the fish or fauna of Hawali or the other south sea islands. “VICTIM OF MURDERER WILL REJOIN RELATIVES Boy Thought to Have Been Slain Thirty-Three Years Ago Is Alive. NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—Mystery sur- rotnding a supposed murder, believed to have been committed near here thirty- three years ago, has been cleared up, says a Waterloo, N. Y., dispatch to the Herald, by the discovery of the ‘‘victim,” hale and hearty in Minneapolis, Minn. He is now on his way from that city to join the remaining members of his family. Thomas Frederick was a lad of 16 thir- ty-three years ago, when he was employ- ed on the farm of Charles Pickett, near Redwood. After a dispute over milking, Pickett knowcked the boy down. Fred- crick disappeared. There were no wit- nesses of the occurrence and no arrests cre made. Picket grieved over the sus- picion directed against him and died a ew years later. The boy's parents also are dead and his brothers and sisters only recently learned of his whereabouts through a letter which he addressed to the postmaster at Redwood. -—— OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST Change Made in the Postal Service and More New Pensions Granted.

H.,, Aug. 2).—President Roosevelt was to-day entertained in a manner to his likihg. Instead of making numerous addresses, meeting committees and indulging in handshaking, he plunged into the forest of the Croyden Mountain region and hunted big game and just be- fore dark succeeded in shooting a bear. In a few remarks preliminary to his talk here he had disclaimed any intention to g0 hunting, but Senator Proctor, who, like the President, is a good shot, induced him to alter his determination. The President arrived shortly after 10 o'clock this morning and after being driven through the principal streets, de- livered a short address in the public square. The town had an air of expect- ancy, since the President's coming had been loked upon as the most notable event in its history. No sooner had he concluded his address than rain began falling and the President and those of his party got a thorough drenching. The President refused all offers of umbrellas, saying that his mackintosh would be suf- ficlent to protect him. The arrangements included a visi Corbin mansion, where Mrs. Corbin widow of Austin Corbin, received the esident. After agshort stay the long procession of carriages moved over to the home of George S. Edgill, who, with Mrs. Edgill, entertained the party at luncheon. The President was given an hour's start ahead of his party In order that he might visit the clubhouse and don a hunting cos- tume. Several times the party caught up with him and finally he and Senator Proc- tor entered the woods and were lost to view. Darkness was coming on when the party returned here and soon after their arrival Secretary Cortelyou telephoned that the President had shot a bear. Upon their return from the woods they ‘will spend the night at the clubhouse and it is not improbable that the President will again try for large game early in the morning. OFFICERS LOSE JOBS AT KAISER’S COMMAND Men Who Participated in the Hilde- brand Ovation Are Summar- ily Dismissed. BERLIN, Aug. 20.—Captain von Frank- enburg and Firgt Lieutenant Numbauer t to the have been dismissed from the army on account of the ovation given some time tenant Hildebrand, the pardoned duelist. Another officer who commanded Hilde- brand’s cavalry escort on the day of the manifestation has been transferred to the compmissariat corps, and Hildebrand's regimental commander, Lieutenant Col- onel Weiss, and Major Diekerhoff have resigned upon demand, although they did not participate in the demonstrations and were unaware that they were projected. The dismissals of Von Frankenburg and Numbauer were so sudden that they had to be recalled from the maneuvers, where they were on duty. Californians in New York. NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—The following Californians are in New York: From San Francisco—R. B. Hine, E. J. Wilson and wife, at the Manhattan; H. Merrifield, at the Herald Square; C. W.

Mines of Coast Are Adding to the Auriferous Treasure. The gold in coins in this country amounts to 2500 tons of 2000 pounds each. This computation is based upon the offi- clal figures of the United States Treas- ury, showing the holdings in gold money in the United States. The gold coin, if piled up, would make a heap containing 15,000 cubic feet. If all the coins were melted into one bar the size of the bar would be 3 feet square and 300 feet long. Such a golden monumental bar, if placed on end, would not make a bad showing beside the Washington monument at the national capital, but the Washington monument is 200 feet higher. Perhaps it would not be safe to leave that sort of a monument out of doors in Washington for any length of time. To amuse the miners of California some computations from the Western Mining World are given as follows: At two tons to the million it would take 2500 touble teams or 5000 horses to haul this mass of coined treasure over the average roads of the country. Fixing fitty pounds as the proper load for the average man to carry any distance, it would require an army of 100,000 to carry the stuff. In ranks of twelve, moving in fairly open order, this army of gold-bearers would stretch over eleven or twelve miles. few weeks ago, before it was known that the coronation of King Edward VII would be post- | poned by a royal fliness, it was estimated that the total cost of the ceremonies would be not far from $7,000,000. At that rate Uncle Sam'’s stock of coined gold would foot the bill for 179 coronations and leave some millions over. A billion and a guarter dollars would bulld eighty Brooklyn bridges. It would build, equip and put in commission more than 400 great battle- ships. It would probably suffice to buy the whole British navy, provided it could be pur- chased at anything like a fair valuation. At a million dollars a day, the upproximate cost of the Civil War, the coined gold now in the country would wage a war for more than three years and four months. Comparison of the quantity of coined gold in the country with the value of some of the country’s staple products is of interest. For instance, in round numbers, the output of coal, both soft and hard, in 1901, was $322,000,000; of pigiron more than $250,000,000; of silver, more than $36,000,000; of crude petroleum, more than $75,000,000; of corn, wheat 'and oats, nearly $200,000,000; of butter and cheese, more than §384,000,00. Yet the billion and a quarter of coined gold now in the United States would buy all t products and leave a trifing matter of 875,687 as & nest egg around which to acci- mulate another $1,200,000,000 or so. It would build 62,500 miles of raiiroad at $20,000 a mile, nearly a third of all the railroad mileage now in_the United States. Yet all this gold could be packed into a very small space, relatively Its weight would not furnish a full cargo for any one of several of the great ocean liners now plowing the Atlantic Ocean, though it would build hun: dreds of them. CALIFORNIA’S OUTPUT. This interesting story of gold would not be complete without the statement that, as large as is the amount of gola now in the United States in coin, as shown in the foregoing, California has alone produced a greater amount of tha precious metal. This is made clear by Statistics compiled by Charles G. Yale, statistician of the United States Mint in this city and also statisticlan of the State Mining Bureau. Mr. Yale reports that the total gold output of California from 1848 to 1901, inclusive, according to the best authorities, amounted in value to $1,362,356,088. This, excluding a small amount in 1848, averages a yearly produc- tion of $26,199,155 for fifty-three consecu~ tive vears. Dredger mining is a growing industry in Trinity County. The first. dredger placed there to mine for gold was lo- cated at Poker Bar. A second dredger was built on Weaver Creek by C. D. Galvin. The Cleary, Payne & McKinnon Company has recently placed a dréger on Trinity River, about a mile above Trinity Center. The gravel deposits at Langdon Flat, on Trinity River, near Minersville, and also the bars on the river for a distance of about four miles in the vicinity will be prospected with a Key- stone drill, preliminary to the placing of a dredging plant. The work is under the charge of an Eastern man. The Plumas Mining, Milling and Smelt- ing Company has secured an option on a mill and water right at Taylorville, with the intention of erecting a 50-ton smelter for the reduction of Genesee ores. The Inyo Register reports that a large deposit of molybdenum has been discov- ered about a mile from the Hillside dam at the South Bishop lake. The ledge is reported to be 100 feet wide and to crop out of the mountain in a mass seventy- five feet high. O. H. Hill and M. C. hall are the owners. The Tuolumne Miner and Lumberman says that the Confidence mine is working 100 men and that there is a very large body of ore in sight. The Spring Gulch mine has been opened up by the Western enture Mining Company. he Hardtack mine has machirery on the ground to bs put in at once. Transfers in mining properties in Tuo- lumne County that have just been made include the sale to E. L. Campbell of San Francisco of a large block of stock in the Soulsby Consolidated Gold Mining Company; the deed by L. F. Whitney et al. to W. J. Graham to the Mayflower 8 “ochran Flat, - and the sale to 2 E. Schaefer by the Crystallina Gold Company of the right to operate a flume and to carry tailings through the flume. H. J. Dykes has secured a bond on the Oakland and Auburn mines situ- ated above Yankee Hill. The Cosmopolite mine is being developed under a bond with a purchase clause. The shaft is re- ported to be down 120 feet. BONANZA IN GRANITE. The ease with which slate is mined in El Dorado county near Placerville, this State, is remarkably paralleled in the case of a granite deposit in Colorado at Berre station. The granite is stratified mto layers and has been cut as true by nature into blocks as if modern sawing machinery had been employed. The Min- ing and Scientific Press says of this phe- nomenon: The wear of the weather has exposed the upper part of the deposit, allowing easy loci- tion of the stratified formation 1500 fect, and blasting and examination prove that there is neither change in stratification, color nor qual- ity of the granite as far back as the investi- gations progresced. The process of quarrying the granite is peculiar and interesting. = An alley is blasted back into the mountain a short distance. and working in this, the quarrymen drill lines of holes in the natural bed of th. perpendicular _strata. Feathers and wedges complete the cutting, bars are*adjusted and the blocks, perfect and ready for placing in the walls, 'are pried off in big layers, No blasting is found necessary once the alley has been opened. The released blocks are hoisted by derricks and placed in the small cars ready SATURDAY, group of mines one-half mile northwest | AUGUST 30, 1902 DESERTED WIFE 6ET3 A DIVORGE Ex-Legislator Works Does Not Contest Spouse’s Suit, Nat T. Messer’'s Matrimonial Troubles Are Settled in Court. Edna W. Works was granted a divorce from Lewis R. Works by Judge Kerrigan vesterday. It was shown by the testi- mony of Mrs. Works and several ac- quaintances of the family that Works, who was at one time a member of the Assembly, deserted her. Mrs. Works was awarded the custody of their minor child and $76 a month alimony. . Nat T. Messer, the well-known stock broker and mining man, was granted a di- vorce from Lizzie G. Messer by Judge Graham yesterday., The decree was granted on the ground of desertion. The Messers were married at Sacramento, March 2, 1876, and have several grown children, Judge Graham denied Arthur W. Ren- nison a divorce from Elsie Rennison. Ren- nison failed to substantiate his charge fl;nat his wife was habitually intemper- ate. Stanley J. Alken, who is being sued for divorce on the ground of cruelty b{ Flor- ence Afken, was ordered to pay his wife $30 a month alimony pefding the trial. Suits for divorce were filed by Carme- l1a Pisani against Narcisa Pisani for cru- elty, Ellzabeth Ms Hester against Basil A.

FIND MASTODON BONE ON BUCHANAN STREET ‘While Excavating for Powerhouse, Workmen Secure Relic of Prehistoric Age. ‘Workmen engaged in_excavating for the foundation of the United Railroad’s new powerhouse, at the fot of Buchanan street, unearthed the shoulder blade of a mastodon on Wednesday. The bone was found at a depth of about five feet below the sandy surface of the soil. The men were at first inclined to belleve that it was the trunk of a tree that had washed ashore by the tide and had been covered with sand. A few strokes with their shovels dispelled this idea. ‘The bone was placed against the wall of the powerhouse, where it still remains, It is about 6 feet long, 3% wide and is nearly nine inches thick. In taking the bone from the earth a decayed portion of one end fell to pleces. Adding what broke off <o the bone would give it a length of about ten feet. —_————— Lectures on Woman’s Privileges. Mrs. Florence Jackson Stoddard deliv- ered a lecture at the residence of Dr. Kibbe, 1023 Sutter street, yesterday on “Woman in Journalism.” Mrs. Stoddard said that a good deal had been spoken about women in journallsm not having accomplished much in that direction for the reason, it had been contended, that “currant jam and current gossip” had gone together. The lecturer maintained that the mere effort to understand condi- tlons, whether commercial, domestic or political, was broadening. Women, she said, aimed to gain a just stand as citi- zens and they felt that their high patriot- ism made them as worthy citizens as any in the land who possessed the privilege of suffrage. Their entrance into world- ly matters, sht submitted, would not in the least interfere with their domestic re- | lations. Mrs. Stoddard was the recipient of many compliments for her lecture. —e———— Woman Accused of Embezzlement. Mrs. Grace Blackburn, 1328 Vallejo street, secured a warrant from Judge Con- lan yesterday for the arrest of Mrs. An- nie Engler on a charge of felony embez- zlement. Mrs. Blackburn alleges that on August 25, 1900, she gave Mrs. Engler $460 to purchase a lodging-house for her, but claims she fajled to do so and has since only returned $2 of the amount. @ il @ for loading upon flat cars on the raflroad be- low.

The plant at Crofton will be | used on the ores of Mount Sicker. The | plant is a 700-ton affair. This is the first | attempt to treat island ores on the island. The Oregon Mining Journal reports that two rich gtrikes have been made in the Cornucopia district, Oregon. One of these was in a mine owned by James Mackie and the other was in the Beer mine. 'he Amador Ledger reports that the turnel in the Del Monte mine has tapped | the Riverside ledge. The hoisting works of the Defender mine have been burned.
