Rsturns of Week Show the Activity of Mills add Drills, In a general way the proceedings of the International Mining Congress at Butte, Mont., have been reported by telegraph. Yet there is much of genuine interest to the miners that could not be transmitted | in that way because of the limit that | must necessarily be placed upon press ac- counts when there are so many other mat- ters of public concern demanding space. Among the statements made at the con- gress that tend to show the value of the mining industry were some contained in the address of Governor Rickards, which dealt with the productivity in minerals of a very limited area of the sofl of Mon- | tana. When the statements are consid- | ered it will be understood that California as many chances to make an equally | good showing on a small area. A ful | account of what Governor Rickards said | has been received. Some extracts are as follow: I want you to picture In your mind a small area containing not over 1000 acres, for it is of this piece of mineral land that I want to pre- sent a few facts. This small area is produc ing in round figures 10,000 tons of ore dally, which, if bauled in one train made up of av- | erage freight cars, would make a train two and | 2 half miles lonz. The annual output if load- ed on the cars would make a train 800 miies in length! Or putting it in another way, it would make & train long enough to reach from Chi- cago to Philadelphia. In the treatment of the ore at Anaconda, | Great Falls and here there is thrown into thé | atmosphere daily 1500 tons of sulphur, which i | i | weuld produce 5000 tons of sulphuric acid, or 250 cai‘oads. But, mark you, this product of | our ores is not being saved. It is goingk to | waste. It is worthy of note that the annual | consumption of sulphur in the United States | amounts to 336,000 long tons, while there s going to waste from the annual output of our | mines 525,000 tons. In other words, there is $10,500,000 worth of sulphur, estimated at less than the regular market value, going to waste every year. The money value of arsenic thrown off by the smelters in the treatment of the an- nual output amounts to $350,000, In sul- phur and arsenic, by-products of our copper ores, there is being blown away annually $14,- This 1000 acres has produced up to and in- cluding 1901, 125,000,000 long tons of copper, or, in round figures, 3,000,000,000 pounds. If this vast product could be manufactured into a wire such as is most generally used by trolley cars, weighing one-half pound to the foot, we would have a wire over a million miles in length, or ‘ iong enough to girdle this old earth forty-two | times. | If this wire could be stretched In one con- | tinuous line and a trolley car was started on it, | running day and night at an average speed of | thirty miles an hour, it would be over four | years reaching the other end of the wire. It | the output of copper of this tract for the year 1901 could be manufactured into a wire such @s just referred to, it would have one long | enough to encircle the earth four times. Very nearly one-fourth of the world's output of cop- | per for the past three years has come from this £mall district. If the shafts, drifts and cross- cuts made in this old hill could be put together in one straight tunnel, it would reach = from Butte to the Pacific Ocean, thus enabling us to | Eive you a sait water bath every dav during { your stay.

Hénry J. Kessel Wants Her Taken Away From Mrs. McCann. Henry J. Kessel filed a petition in the Superior Court yesterday for a writ of babeas corpus for the release of Mrs. Mary Reynolds, an aged invalid, who, he claimed, is being forcibly detained at the home of Mrs. R. J. McCann, 406 Tenth street. Mrs. Reynolds has been lying on a sick bed at the McCann home for the last six weeks. She is a widow without any living relatives and owns valuable property. Judge Kerrigan made a per- sonal investigation of the case and dis- missed the petition. The matter came up in court yesterday morning. Attorney Carpenter appeared as counsel for the petitioner, and At- torney Stafford appeared for Mrs. Mc- Cann. Stafford announced that Mrs. Reynolds was not being detained by Mrs. McCann, He offered to prove by the testimony of her physician, Dr. Lagan, that Mrs. Reynolds was seriously ill and unable to appear in court or leave the ‘home of Mrs. McCann if she wanted to. Attorney Carpenter objected to this tes- timony being admitted, and so Judge Kerrigan decided to visit the McCann home and find out the situation for him- gelf. Petitioner Kessel, who wanted Mrs. Reynolds placed under the care of his wife and daughters, applied for permis- sion to accompany the Judge, but Staf- ford announced that Mrs. McCann would not allow him in the house. Judge Kerri- gan then announced that he would hold formal court at the home of Mrs. Mc- Cann and that those interested in the case would be admitted. It was stipulated that Judge Kerrigan’s decision would rest entirely upon the wishes of -Mts. Reynolds. About 3 o’'clock in the afternoon the Judge and the lawyers visited the home of Mrs. McCann. Mrs. Reynolds stated that she was being well treated by Mrs. | McCann, and was as contented as a sick Woman could be with her surroundings. Judge Kerrigan asked her if she wanted to leave the home of Mrs. McCann, and she replied that Mrs. McCann was treat- ing her as well as she could and_ that she wanted to remain there. The Judge then dismissed-the petition. Mrs. Reynolds at one time was a neigh- bor of the Kessel family, who live at 448 Thirty-second avenue. Before taking up her residence with Mrs. McCann, Mrs. Reynolds lived at 525 Howard street. She owns several pieces of valuable property in different sections of the city. G. A. R.

Two tunnels are be- ing driven in Grapevine Canyon, one to the north and one to the south. A new | water location has been secured. Electric power has been installed for use in the mine. Along the old Table Mountain channel considerable activity is mani- | fested. The Davies mine to the north of Woodsides has been bonded to Muir & Co., who also have the Richards prop- erty. Heavier machinery will be put in the Doyle ranch gravel mine. Owing to a large inflow of water work on the Put- man quartz mine, below Jamestown, is active. A shaft at the Toledo mine has been unwatered, retimbered and provided { with a steam hoist. A rich strike is re- | ported on Knights Creek. The Tarantula mine has been sold by Thomas Gray of London to other London parties. An op- tion for one year has been given by Frank Prudhomme to the * Prudhomme Mining Company on .the Prudhomme guartz mine near Arastraville. W. A, Pierce has given an option to G. A. White- ford of San Francisco to purchase the Mayflower mine for $15,000. The mine is northwest from the Norwegian mine.

This will be the largest single shipment ever sent from the local field, and the price, in spite of exces. sive transporiation charges, is regarded as most satisfactory. At the Franklin plant little over 8000 barrcls of local ofl are han- dled every month, and the company finds no difficulty in placing the refined products, since the Eastern demand for California asphaltum Pas assumed such important proportions. A new and important ocutlet has teen found by the raanagement of this concern for heavy dis- tillate.

Ac- cording to the reports of the local papers, the following is the current news: A ten-foot ledge in the Zeibright mine at Bear Valley is reported. The ten- stamp mill at the Coe property is ready to crush ore. G. F. Dyer has bought the Gold Blossom mine at Union Hill and will equip the property for deep working.

L s The whole of yesterday's session of the United States District Court was occupied by George D. Collins in his argument for ‘Walter N. Dimmick, indicted on a charge ot stealing $20,000 from the United States Mint. Mr. Collins devoted a large part of the morning session to the subject of Dim- mick’s tampering with the locks and his object in doing so. ¢ The counsel argued that it would have been impossible for Dimmick to learn Cashier Cole's com- bination by manipulating the lock on the other side of the door, as the experts had testified. Instead of one, there were two combinations, and it would have been im- possible for Dimmick to have learned both. Besides, Cashier Cole’s combination was a lie on the face of it, as was proved, argued the counsel, by the fact that on June 28, 1901, while Mr. Cole was at home | sick in bed, Mr. Leach, Mr. Day and Dim- mick were unable to open the vault with the combination that Cashier Cole had left in the office safe. On that occasion Leach was obliged to telephone to Cole, and Cole gave him a secret number which when used with the combination opened the vault. - So, even if Dimmick had ob- tained the Cole combination, ‘it would not have been possible for him to open the eulf without the secret mumber, which Cole kept in his memory only. 1t was not possible also that Dimmick from the back of the lock could have obtained the po- sitions of the numbers on the dial. BETTER OPPORTUNITY BEFORE. Dimmick had ample oppor(unitg. Col- lins asserted, while he was cashier to steal all the money he gleued. He had better opportunities an better advan- tages for doing this before his term of ce expired. The attention of the jury was called next to an apparent contradiction be- tween the testimony of Armes and that of Norton. Armes had sworn, sald the counsel, that Dimmick put an instrument into the time lock, while Norton’s testi- mony was that Dimmick had no instru- ment on that occaslon, and put his finger into the lock. The bending of the prong of the time lock, which prevented the clock from keeping the vault shut from Saturday afternoon until the following Mopday morning, must have been done with a sledge-hammer, said Mr. Collins; it could rot have been done with a screw driver. There was no evidence before the court as to the time when the time lock got out of order. The damage might have been done by Experts Waltz and Young ‘when they were removing and tinkering with the lock after the discovery was made that $30,000 had been stolen. There was not a particle of evidence to show that that lock was out of order at any time prior to the discovery of the loss. | It might have been in order at the time the money was taken and out of order afterward. ‘“We must therefore presume,” pro- ceeded the speaker, “that the time lock was in perfect order up to the time of the disappearance of the money, and if £0 pno man could have gotten into the vault except in the daytime, when the vault was left open.” The next subject treated by the coun- sel was the testimony of Mint Watchman Cyrus E. Ellis that on March 1§, 191, he saw Dimmick come out of a rodm in the Mint with two sacks of coin in his hands and that he left the buildipg with a dress suit case in his hand. Ellls was de- nounced as a llar and a perjurer. HAD NO DRESS SUIT CASE. The next episode touched upon was that of the dress suit case. Five watchmen and three car conductors had testified, he said, that they had seen Dimmick on several occasions with a dress suit case in his hand, while as opposed to them Dimmick, his wife and his servant testi- fled that he never had a dress suit case. It had been shown also that two of the conductors were personal friends of United States Secret Service Agent Harry offitt. ~ The fact that six or seven men con- nected with the Mint had access to the vault was next commented upon as tend- ing to show that some one other than Dimmick could have stolen the money. It ‘must be shown, argued the counsel, before Dimmick could be convicted that | none of these other persons stole the | | money, but the prosecution had neglected | to make that showing. There was no | evidence in the case to concentrate the | opportunity upon Dimmick and not upon | them. They had equal opportunity with him. Miller's testimony that in March he saw Dimmick with a dress suit case wrapped in a newspaper was commented upon. ‘“Who ever heard of a dress suit case wrapped up in a newspaper?’ asked the counsel. He argued that Miller must have been mistaken as to the date, and that it was in February, not in March, that he saw the defendant under the cir- cumstances related, because Dimmick testified that he did not bring any books home from the Mint after February, 1901. The fact that Dimmick did not flee to Canada or Mexico was commented upon as being consistent with the theory of his innocence. Mr. Collins, with some show of indig- nation, charged that Attorney Schlesin- | ger on the preceding day had endeavored | to mislead the jury in the matter of the | combination on’ the melter and refiner’s vault, when the testimony of the defend- ant gave Mr. Schlesinger no grounds | whatever for his action. Mr. Collins_concluded his argument at 5:50 p. m. and an adjournment was taken | till 10 a. m. to-day, when United States | Attorney Woodworth will close for the Government. — CEEAPER RATES EAST.

BE DARLES DELIAT WOMEN The Flower Is Destined to More Beautiful Cultivation, Floral Society Listens to Paper by Professor Fernow. The State Floral Society met at 223 Sut- ter street yesterday, when a beautiful display of dahlias and other varieties of flora were arranged on tables for inspec- tion by the members. Mrs. L. O. Hodgkins presided. Among those who were present were Mrs. W. H. Wiester, Mrs. J. Ross Martin, Mrs. John Knell, Mrs. P, Tricou, Mrs W. S. Cbandler, Mrs. O. D. Baldwin, Mrs. Rich- ard Spreckels, Mrs. J. Leach, Miss H. Daniels and Mrs. A, Sperry. The report of the president showed that the society was in a most satisfactory financial condition. Miss Catherine H. Hittell, Mrs. James E. Gibson and Mrs. 8. O. Williamson were nominated for membership in the soclety. F. A. Carleson exhibited uvantiv‘ varie- ties of dahlias, and Miss Kate Lichten- berg also had on the tables a remarkable showing of dahlias, the petals of some of them having a red stripe down the center, and now Miss Lichtenberg in- tends cultivating the dahlia so that it shall produce the blue color on the white. An interesting pager by Professor E. B. Fernow, entitled “The Korester and En- gireer,” was read by O. V. Lange, in which it was shown that the forester’s calling was one that required engineering knowledge. In several European coun- tries the title “‘Forest Engineer” is given. In showing the difference between the “logger” and the “forester” the paper ex- piamned that the logger was the harvester of rature’'s crop to the reproduction of which he pays no attention, while the forester harvests with a view to the wood crop’s reproduction. The forests in Northern Europs, through care and watchfulness, were thicker to-day than they were one hun- dred years ago. In Spain, where no at- tention has been paid to the forest prop- agation, the whole land had become poverished, a condition that had reacted on the people as a nation. There were ro less than a million of acres of land in Spain which were of no agricultural value at all through wasteful destruction and want of care. In addition to Professor Fernow’s pa- per, Mr. Lange pointed out what he called the willful destruction of trees at the back of San Mateo reaching toward Pes- cadero, a destruction which he deplored and condemned. The society received an invitation from the Horticultural Society to attend its dahlia exhibition at the Mission Opera House, Saturday evening, September 27. FILES ANNUAL REPORT ON MANUAL TRAINING Supervisor of Study Tells of the Progress Made in the School Department. Supervisor of Manual Training C. T. ‘Work of the School Department filed his annual report for the year ended June 80, 1902, with Superintendent of Schools Webster yesterday. The report states that there are seven laboratories for the study, which are centrally located with reference to groups of grammar schools, thus placing the work within easy walk- ing distance for most of the pupils. After explaining the equipment for practical work, the report says: All the seventh and eighth grade boys have been provided with the work, the enrollment being about 1800. The attendance has beea very regular, even on the part of the boys from . the echools farthest distant from the Iaboratories. The work is required of all boys in these grades, except in ‘the case of three or four small schools in the suburbs. Most of these, however, have regarded it as a priv- ilege and have'taken the work. There seems to be no reason why this work should not be compulsory like other subjects. In 1894 fifty cities of the United States had woodwork in the grammar grades, 5l per cent of which made it obligatory; while in 1901 one hundred and thirty-five cities had the work, 78 per cent making it obligatory; facts which show the rapid growth of the work as well as the increasing recognition of its importance, ‘We have attempted to establish the manual training on such substantial and progressive lines as to justify the hopes of the city au- The further develop- ment of this department will depend largely upon continued public support, continued in- terest and co-operation of teachers and prin. cipals and proper provision for the applica- tion of the manual training idea in other grades of the sckools. sl s i S MONTICELLO CLUB PAYS A TRIBUTE TO BOLAND Members Adopt Resolutions in Re- membrance of Life Work of Form- er Public Administrator. The Monticello Club at a special meet- ing adopted the following resolutions in memory of the late Patrick Boland: Whereas, At the order of divine providence Patrick Boland, a member of the board of di- rectors of this club, has been summoned from the scenes of earthly usefulness to his eternal home; and Whereas, It is fitting and proper that some expression of the high esteem and regard in which he was held by the membership of this club and the community in which he lived should be made at this time; now, therefore, be_it Resolved, That in the death of Patrick Bo- land this city, State and nation has lost an up- right, loyal and patriotic citizen—whose life was one long_record of disinterested devotion to truth and duty.

Mort and his wife, Katle, of 70 Converse street, who were arrested Thursday night on complaint of Mrs. John Pettee of the Universal Service Society on a charge of cruelty to children, ap- peared before Judge Cabaniss yesterday. They were represented by Attorney Ar- thur Mack. Their four children, who were also taken to the City Prison, were in court and Attorney Mack them to step forward so that the Judge could see for himself whether they were neglected. ’fhe Judge, after loo] at the children, said: “I cannot but admit that the chil- dren are well clad, happy and contented looking. I can also say that the appear- ance of their father does not indicate that he is a habitual drunkard. He has all the appearances of a ba.rd-worktni man. e statement of Mrs. Pettee that the mother is a common drunkard does not seem to be borne out by the appearance of the defendant. It is admitted that she was once intoxicated and I will admonish her to be more careful in future, which will be sufficient for the time being. Rather than take the children from their parents 1 will continue the matter till next Tuesday and give them into their custody. The parents will be released on their own recognizance. Mrs. Pettee produced a paper signed by Mort agreeing to give the children into her care and also giving her possession of his personal effects. She said it was voluntarily executed by Mort, who at the time told her if he were arrested he would prefer that the children should be given to her instead of being left in charge of their mother, who, he said, was a common drunkard. Mort sald that his wife might sell the furniture to purchase liquor. ort said that he had signed the peaper under a misapprehension and want it recalled. It is still a crime to shout “Vive la in Alsace-Lorraine. REWARD bep-lda:'nuypm who the s not Dlished before obaining the writer's special permi 2 1.
