THE SAN FBANCiSCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1902. MINERS MAKING LARGE GOMBINES Ore Deposits Are Joined Together Under One Control, Promising Ledges Are Now Reported to Exist Near Nome. B - o, Several events of leading importance in mining circles have just taken place. Some account has already been given of | the organization of a company with & capital of $2,000,000 to take the Cerro Bo- nito quicksiiver mines, in San Bewto County. A company has been formed to develop the Twin Brothers mine, near | Salmon Falls, in El Dorado County. The principal place of business is Folsom. The capital stock is $100,00. A fifteen- | stamp mill will be constructed for the | mine. The old San Andreas mine, near | Angels, has been sold to a Montana min- | ing company and will be developed on a ! large scale. From the Dorleska mine in | Trinity County two bars of gold worth ebout $8000 have been sent to Los An- geles. Since the present company took | the Dorleska that property is credited | with having produced $8,000 in gold. A combination of mining properties in Tuolumne County has been effected. In thé aggregation are the Stokes mill site | and Stokes quartz_mine, the Pay Day mill site and Pay Day quartz mine and | the Don Pedro quartz mine, all in the | Don Pedro Bar district. They will be op- | erated together under the name of the Don Pedro gold mines. The Don Pedro | district was famous in early days. The | lccal papers say that the resumption of | mining on the west belt is an event of | much importance in Tuolumne County. A complete survey has been made prepara- | tory to active work. | Some time during the month of Novem- | ber the Bully Hill mine and smelting | plant will have electric power and light. | The contract has been awarded to the| Northern California Power Company to | run the lines and supply the needed pow- | er and light. The transmission line from the Shingletown plant to Redding will be tapped at Palo Cedro. The line will be congtructed directly north to Bully Hill, | & distance of seventeen miles. When the Cow Creek plant is completed a power | line will be run from Cow Creek to Bully Hill. The mine is nineteen miles from the last named plant. One line will cross the Afterthought district. According to the Redding Searchlight | the Peerless group of mines, consisting of seven claims two miles west from Cop- | ley, Shasta C is under a sale bond es are in the Flat| trict. The option is for one year. he terms of the bond development | work must begin at once. There is a tun- | nel feet long in the Peerless. The | owners of the group are J. H. Sherman | and Louis Heller. ] RESUME WITH RAINS. l Some of the placer miners in Biskiyou | County report that they have been able | to start work on their claims since the e rains.

This is not a very large or original programme, but the themes are of interest to the miners, of California, who are about to meet in annual session in this city. One idea held by Secretary Irwin, as | contalned in his announcement, would | seem to indicate that he is trying to make | = success of the next session of the min- | ing congress, which will be held in Dead- wood mext year. He proposes the fol- lowing proposition: That & perfect and harmonious understand. | ing may be secured from all parties interested | G Indeper et w o t of the U SCIENTIFIC FOOD That Cures Patients Quickly. “My experience with food has been con- | erable. or twenty years I suffered with | chronic indigestion and bowel complaint, which brought on general debility,” says | a gentleman of Panville, Il “I was very poor in fiesh and everyone thought 1 haé consumption. I was treated by the best doctors of several cities, but to no benefit. “At last I went to the hospital and while there began using Grape-Nuts, the physician giving me permission, and from that day 1 commenced to gain.

Grape- Nuts food saved my life. “It adds to the health and comfortable living, makes the mind clear and pro- longs life.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich, $ e The summits are now E e Placerville Nugget says: | afford power to work eight | e grading roads and Lu)ldmg] The superin- | is down S5 feet. | | in the Campbell River region has been INPORTANT WORK. |CRIMINALS MUST | TEMPER CAUSES 15 INAUGURATED Army Officers Establish an Information . Bureau. e N vl Valuable Data About Towns in the Philippines Is Collected. The first reports presented by the new military information bureau established by General Chaffee in the Philippines ar- rived on the transport Sheridan and were filed at army headquarters yesterday. The work of the new department is wide in its scope and should prove of immense value to commercial interests| in this country as well as to the War Depart- ment, The commanding officers of posts and sub-stations throughout the archipelago have been ordered to make exhaustive reports of the physical characteristics of the localities in which they are situated, the population of the towns, accessibility by land and sea, water supply, telephone, telegraph and mail connections, climatic conditions, kinds of food at hand, timber | and mineral resources, crops, cost of sup- plies, flora and fauna and various other matters of interest to commercial men and army officials. This is the first organized movement toward securing and dispensing whole- sale information in regard to the coun: try’s mew possessions in the Far East. As soon as all the reports from any pro- vince shall have been made and printed they will be combined in a provincial re- port, which will be accompanied by a fine illestrative map. The information secured thus far shows that most of the seaport towns cannot be visited by vessels of deep draught. Coral reefs abound and much dredging is need- ed. Communication with Manila is the most difficult problem to solve. There is just one rallroad, and that is only about | Boats of small carrying most of the important 120 miles long. capacity visit ports. Telegraphic communication is excellent from almost all the townsof Luzon. The roads are poor for the most part, but are being rapidly improved under the direc- tion of competent eugineers. Stable | bridges are being constructed to replace | the frafl structures erected by the na- tives. Sanitary conditions are much im- proved. The price of unskilled labor is from 25 to 5 cents a day, gold. The work of gathering information will centinue as rapidly as possible, and re- sults will be printed and ‘put in the hands of those who may desire to get -official data on the future possibilities of the islands. To Ingleside Races. On and after Saturday, November’ 15, special trains will leave San Francisco, Third and Townsend streets, daily, except Sunday, for Ingleside at 12:45 and 1:15 p. m. Returning, leave Ingleside after the races. —e—e————— Accused of Burglary. The residence of Joseph Mussieo, 228T% Poweli street, was entered -on October 24 ané $125 that was hidden in a tin chest | stolen. Mrs. Rose Peterson, a neighbor, swore to a complaint before Judge Con- r sterday charging James Winslow and Albert Demartini, voung men whe {live in the neighborhood, with burglary. £he alleges that she saw Winslow and Demartini on the afternoon of that day ning and Scientific Press says: | break into the Mussieo residence. —_— e | Livingston Jenks for Superior Judge is | the right man in the right place. Re- member the name. | L e S o e e e | and an irresistible and intelligent enthusiasm | thrown_at once into the work a meeting be | called by the Black Hills Mining Men's As- | sociation, - inviting the citizens of Deadwood | and Lead to participate with them in its pro- | ceedings, and that the president and secretary of the ‘‘American Mining Congress,” and | others of our executive committee who desire | to attend said meeting, be present, and then | and there formulate a plan of action that will be acceptable to all, looking to the highest and greatest success of our congress and its coming session at Deadwood. Something practical may be achieved by such a conference. There is a general impression among miners that national gatherings of miners heretofore have been run with too little regard for the views of the real workers and that papers and addresses by theorists, while well enough in their way, have had more than their share of time and attention. A practical turn will be given to the proceedings of the California miners’ con- | vention this year as much as possible. Actual miners will be invited to discuss papers of practical value to themselves. The Giscussions may be more interesting than the essays. The coming convention, which ‘will open in this city on November 17, will be the eleventh annual gather- ing of the California Miners’ Association. 'he suggestion made by the executive committee to have every member of the association in good standing considered a delegate with a voice and vote in the | proceedings is generally favored. NOME FINDS QUARTZ. The Nome News says that C. D. Lane claims the quartz ledge in the Solomon River country on Hurrah Creek to be the | finest prospect for a valuable mine that he ever saw. Ledges have been discover- ed on Glacler and Anvil creeks. High as- ceys have been made on rock. from Twin Mountain Creek. There is a large quariz ledge in the Golden Gate district on the farther side of the Pilgrim River, from | which quartz assaying from $ to $78 per ton bas been taken. The Vancouver Daily Province says: Premier Dunsmuir left Victoria yesterday op a business trip to the northern part of Van- couver Island, for the special purpose of mak- ing a personal investigation 'of the immense deposits of iron ore which have lately been discovered there. He has gone to the Camp- bell River district, and if thé present. expecta- tions of his trip are realized the result will be the establishment of one of the largest and ome of the most important industries to this province, namely, a big iron and steel plant. The presence of iron ore in limited quantities known for a long time, but it was only a few months ago that the discoveries were made which show how large the deposits really are. Sain. ! ples have been examined by experts who pro- nource them of the finest quality of hem- atite iron, and the large as to insure a steady supply for years to come. The preliminary plans of Mr. Duns- muir include the building of a line of raflway to Comox and the establishment there of the refining and steel manufacturing works. Co- mox, with its unlimited supply of coal, is particularly adapted for this industry; It is a well-known fact that iron has-been mined on Texada Island for years. Cre from ago, and the steel plates of the battleship Oregon are made from Texada Island ore, Officia! figures show rapid development of the mining industry in Mexico. During the ten fiscal years that began July 1, 1852, and ended June 30, 1902, mining titles to the number of 17,929, covering in total 529,670 acres, were issued. The greatest development has been made in the last three years. ‘The Los Angeles Times says: ¢ A _contract bas been entered into between the Federal Gold Mining Company and J. W. McFatridge, which will involve a large sum of money. The mining company desires to purchase and develop the Brick Consolidated Vanderbilt, on which it 3 sum of money amount amount ’ . { | | | 1 | PAY PENALTIES Heavy Sentences Passed Upon Two Chinese Robbers, ; Forger McMann Will Only Have Six Years to Serve. il i A large number of prisoners who had efther been convicted or had pleaded gullty appeared for sentence before Su- perior Judges Cook, Dunne and Lawlor yesterday. Judges Cook and Dunne con- tinved all the cases on their calendars, but Judge Lawlor passed sentence on five cunvicted men. ‘Wong Kee was sentenced to serve twen- ty and Gee Gun fourteen years in San Quentin for robbery. They broke into a store at 726 Dupont street early on the morning of May 30 and after a desperate fight robbed Wong Shee Chong, one of the proprietors. Eaward McMann, who pleaded guilty to two charges of forgery and a charge of assault to murder, was sentenced to serve six years in San Quentin on each charge, but the sentences are to run con- currently. McMann forged the name of Gray Bros. to two checks for $20 each, which he passed on Joseph Flanigan, gro- cer, 152 Bixth street, and Henry Hor- ‘wege, grocer, Pine and Dupont streets, on July 18 and 20 respectively. He was ar- rested on July 26 by Detective Charles CrecKett and when nearing the Hall of Justice drew a revolver and placing it gainst Crockett's abdomen tried to fire. The .weapon missed fire. Before he could attempt to fire again Crockett wrenched the revolver from him. Fred Johnson, who was convicted of a charge of burglary, was sentenced to Serve two years in San Quentin. He en- tered the room of H. A. Phillips, at 126 O'Farrell street, on August 1 and stole several.articles. Antonio Reyes was sentenced to serve nine months in the county jail on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. He and Jose Cardenas were shipmates on the steamer Acapulco and on August 11 they quarreled and Reyes stabbed Car- denas. o Amendment No. 8 is detrimental to the best interests of every com- munity. nke no disastrous error by voting for it, —_————— Carillo Will Vote. Frank Carillo, the fight promoter, who Wwas arrested Friday night in a saloon near Woaddward's Pavilion for carrying a concealed weapon, appeared beforc Judge Conlan yesterday. He told the Judge that he was anxious to return to bis home in Bakersfield before the elec- ticn, so that he could register his vote and the Judge accommodated him by con- tinuing the case for a week. ————— Conditions in Alaska. Right Rev. Bishop Rowe of Alaska, who has just arrived from Circle City, will preach at the Cathedral Mission, Second and Folsom streets, this evening on *‘Re- ligious Prospects in Alaska.” The ser- vice will be choral and the boy choir will sing some choice selections. The public is welcome. ) FAMILY RO Mary Anderson Says Her Husband Threw Cus- pidor at Her. Claims Also That He Used Kitchen Utensils as ‘Weapons, Mary Agnes Anderson filed suit for di- vorce yesterday against Peter A. Ander- son, to whom she was married in June, 1899, alleging cruelty. In her complaint Mrs. Anderson charges that her husband has treated her cruelly ever since their marriage and relates several specific in- stances. She charges that he is possessed of a violent temper and that he vents his rage by cursing and abusing her. On one occasion, alleges Mrs. Anderson, she escaped instant death by dodging a sauce- pan hurled at her with great force by her angry spouse. She alleges further that she escaped a similar fate on another oc- casion by her ability to dodge, the missile,| in this instance being, she alleges, a heavy cuspidor. Mrs. Anderson was not always successful in avoiding the alleged attacks of her husband, according to the complaint, for she charges that in one of his fits of frenzy he broke her eardrum and disfigured her for life by striking her on the face with such force that a phy- siclan had to be called to put several stitches in the wound caused by his knuckles, Albert J. Farmer, who is suing Mar- garet J. Farmer for divorce, alleges that he has been treated in a cruel and in- human manner by her from the time of their marriage at Hartford, Conn., in 1884 to April, 1895, when, he alleges, he was compelled to leave her. He charges that he suffered intense mental agony because his wife would not speak to him. for weeks at a time and then would, he alleges, break the silence by calling him all sorts of vulgar names. She would visit his business assoclates, he alleges, and tell them that he was a drunkard and un- trustworthy, thereby causing him to feel greatly humiliated. The Farmers have three children. In a divorce complaint filed yesterday by Walter A. Lampe against Lue Lampe, he charges her with having deserted him without cause, and, despite the fact, he alleges, that during the three months’ she lived with him, he treated her with un® varying kindnéss and lavished upon her all his love and affection. The Lampes were married in March, 1889, the alleged desertion occurring in May of the same year. Suits for divorce were also filed by Christina Peterson against P. E. Peterson and Nancy E. Frame against George W. Frame.- Mrs. Peterson charges desertion and Mrs. Frame alleges neglect. Faflure to provide is the cause of action in the suit filed by Annie E. Greene against Daniel P. Greene. Trust Company Secures Hotel. DENVER, Nov. 1.—The Brown Palace Hctel to-day passed from the Brown Ho- ted Company to that of the International Trust Company, which had secured the lease of the building. Maxcy Tabor, pres- ident of the first named company, will be retained as manager of the hotel. ADVERTISEMENTS. AN IDEAL MEDICINE. A New Discovery Which Cures All Forms of Catarrh. The tablet is the ideal form in which to administer medicine, but until recently no successful catarrh tablet had ever been attempted. There is now, however, an ex- cellent and palatabie remedy for catarrh in tablet form, known as Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets and sold by druggists; composed of the most recent discoveries in medi- cine for cure of catarrh and results from their use have been highly gratifying. The old time treatment for catarrn was in the form of inhalers, washes, douznes, sprays, etc. Later on Internal remedies were used with greater success, but being in liquid or powder form were inconven- ient to use and, like all medicines in liquid or powder form, lose their medicinal prop- erties when opened or exposed to the ir. Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets contain highly concentrated antlseptics, Hydrastin, Blocd Root and Red Gum, which kill the catarrh germs in the blood and mucous membrane, and in this respect are strictly scientific and medern, because all authorities are now agreed that catarrh is a constitution- al blood disease, and local applications can have only a transitory effec:. Thé use of inualers, douches and sprays is a nuisance ahd imconvenience and can in no wise compare favorably with the same antiseptics given In rablet form in- ternally, where they can reach the stom- ceh and blood and kill catarrh germs right where they are produced. A prominent lawyer and public speaker cf Pittsburg says: I have been troubled with catarrh of the head and thioat for twelve years. In this climate it seems im- possible to get rid of it. The continual dropping of mucus from the nose into the throat caused irritation and hoarseness, seriously interfering with my public speaking. It took me an nofir or more of coughing, gagging, expectorating and sneezing every morning before I could settle down to work and this condition gradually brought on catarrh of the stom- ach, ‘causing loss of appetite, poor diges- tion and a foul breath, which annoyed me exceedingly. My physician.advised me to try Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and I toox them for two months and was astonished to find how quickly they cleared my head, throat and stomach and I have no hesita- tion in recommending them. They are not only pleasant to take, but they reem ta get at the very root of the trouble, be- cause since using them 1 have had no trace of catarrh. Druggists sell Stuart’s Cararrh Tablets at 50 cents for full sized package. They can be carried in the pocket and used any time and as often as desired. since they contain no cocaine, mereury or any other Injurious drug. DA DDV DDA DRA . visit DR.

Arrest of Emile Menneglier, Manu- facturer of the “Queer,” and Her- man Shump, a “Floater,” Com- pletes the Round-Up. LSS The United States secret service agents completed a clever pilece of detective work yesterday afterhoon by arresting the maker and a “floater” of the counter- | feit money so widely spread over the | city during the last ten months. Both men are members of the gang of four, of | whom two were arrested last Thursday, and which gang has been working suc- cessfully among the merchants and store- | keepers of this city passing bogus half- | dollars and quarters and receiving change in good United States coin. The secret service men got a line on the counterfeiters about a month ago, and Assistants H. M. Moffitt and Thomas B. Foster set out under the supervision of Agent George W. Hazen to work up the case. The arrest of Frank Sanders, alias Har- ry Peterson, and Harold Jones, alias Er- nest Jones, two members of the gang,, was effected Thursday, as it- was thought they were about to leave town. Yesterday afternoon the man who made the money for the gang, a Frenchman named Emile Menneglier, and a “floater” named Herman Shump, alias Herman Miller, were taken into the toils. Shump was caught at his room in a house at the rear of 454A Minna street. No evi- dence was found on him, but the secret service men say they have enough to con- vict him. COUNTERFEITER SURPRISED. Mennegiier was taken in the act of making dies in a room in which counter- feit money, dies and all the parapherna- lla used in their manufacture were scat- tered about. This room is in a house at the rear of 251A Perry street, off Fifth. ‘When surprised at his unlawful work the Frenchman made a desperate attempt to close the door of the room in the faces of his pursuers, but they burst it in and ccvered him with pistols before he could escape. He made a vain attempt to reach a bureau drawer which contained about $3000 in newly made quarters and halves in order to hide them, but was handcuffed and forced into a chair while the room was searched. Lying about it were as many as fifty pairs of plaster of paris dies. On a bed in the adjoining room, where Menneglier slept, were six new dies and counter-dies, which had just been made, lying on a board to dry. Counterfeit money was everywhere; un- der the bed were stacks of it; in the bu- reau were found about a hundred rolls of the coin all trimmed up ready for “floating”; boxes of unfinished or un- trimmed money, the metals used in its manufacture, acids and plating solutions, ladles, melting pots and a lot of skeleton and lodging-house keys were found. In all it was, Agent Hazen says, the largest and most complete haul he has made in ten years. PROFITS REACH $10,000. Uncle Sam’s men are elatéd over the capture. They say that the gang has been operating in San Francisco for the last year and have floated about $10,000 in spurious quarters and halves, which were the only coins they made. The crowd consisted of a maker, a “dealer” and two “floaters.” Sanders was the “dealer.” His work was to carry about a dozen half dollars in his pocket | and send elther Jones or Shump into a store, while he waited outside. In event of the coin being detected as bad, Sand- ers would make his escape and the man in the store would, if caught by the po- lice, have but the one coin on his person, hardly enough to convict him. Invariably the coin was accepted, little articles, such as gum and tobacco, which did not in- volve the expenditure of more than a nickel or a dime being purchased, so that the largest possible sum of good money might be recelved in change. Hundreds of packages of gum and tobacco were found in Mefineglier's room. The scheme to counterfeit money was i concocted three years ago when three of | the gang, Sanders, Shump and Menneg- | ler, were in Folsom prison for various offenses. Jones was afterward taken into ! their confidence and used as a “floater.” | HAS AN EXCELLENT RING. | Menneglier made a clean confession, which was about all he ‘could do under the circumstances. He sald they had made more than $000 worth of spurious money during the last three months and | as soon as they had reached the sum of $8000 or $10,000 they were going East to operate in the larger cities, as they were getting afraid that their efforts were un- der surveillance here. Menneglier had worked as a cook in several restaurants about town and as vegetable cook in the Pacific Union Club. He is about 40 years of age and lived alore. Jones is an Englishman, about 20 years of age, and claims to be new in the busi- nesg. All of the others have done terms in State’s prison. They are belfeved by the men who caught them to be sneak thieves and room npilferers, all having skeleton keys on their persons. Shump is a morphine fiend and a frequenter of the Olympia Theater. i The counterfeited coin was a fairly good | reproduction, good enough to pass the casual glance of the storekeper. On close scrutiny, however, the milling could readily be detected as imperfect. The ring of the coins was excellent and the appearance good; these two things being the points which counterfeiters first en- aeavor. to obtain when manufacturing bhogus money, because if they are all right the coin gemerally passes muster. The coins were light, much antimony and tin - [T PAYS TO TRADE IN THE MISSION !
