ICHRIS C. COX RETURNS HOME TO FIGHT FOR VINDICATION! Force Nine Years Ago on Charges the Nature of Which He Says He , He Will Ask for Hearing | | 1 X e — - = OLD-TIME DETECTIVE WHO RETURNS TO THIS CITY AFTER NINE YEARS TO SEEK VINDICATION AT THE HANDS OF THE BOARD OF POLICE COMM INERS. -~ = HRIS C. COX, one of the best known of the old-time detectives of the local department, has re- ned to the city after an ab- sence of nine years, to secure, < ible, vindication at the hands of the Board of Police Commissioners, he hav- ing been dismissed from the service in 1894 on charges, the nature of which he says he but recently learned, Before connecting himself with the po- lice force in the early '70's, Cox was one of the old volunteer firemen, contem- poraneous with the late Dave S in 1556- when he arrived in San an- cisco, and he was one of the organizers of the Fire Department. Since those early times, excepting the years of the Civil War, when he was at the front, and during the past decade, the best part of his manhood was devoted to fighting | crime in this commun He presen fires and is rapidly nearing his seventies now and time and exposure have made perceptible a;- Menzies' little pleasure steam launch inroads on his formerly magnificent con- stitution. In general appearance he is much the same Chris Cox, or “Coxey the Chinese used to call him, but his hair is- white, and rheumatism, as well as asthma, have much to do in retarding his gait. “I was away about nine years,” yesterday. “I have come for vindica and I believe I will succeed in accom- plishing my desire. At the proper time I intend placing my affair before the Board of Police Commissioners and 1 have no | doubt that they will give me a fair | hearing. I wish to say, however, that whether the decision is for or against me, T will retire with the feeling that neither 1 bias nor prejudice swayed the judgment. ! “My grievance is that in 1894 my name was dropped from the roll of membership in the Police Department. It was then | impossible for me to learn what cause brought this about, as those In authority | appeared or professed to appear ignorant | of the matter. It was the old Board of Police Commissioners then—Messrs. A vord, Tobin and Burns—with Patrick [ Crowley as Chief of the department. I | was never brought to trial and no accu- sation of any kind was set up against | me that I might meet it. As a matter of | fact, in more than twenty years of ac- | tive service not so much as a reprimand | was ever given me for dereliction of duty. LEARNS OF CHARGE. “It is only of late that the rumor | reached me that ‘incompetency’ was the | cause for my discharge. I have some- thing now to meet and 1 am here to do it. “There is but one way I can see to have the matter brought up and heard and that is to seek to have myself reinstated as a legal participant in the police pen- sion fund. “I am entitled in equity to the $2 per month pald into the pension fund ever | since it has existed and to the sums transferred to that fund by the private | fund in existence for years prior to that, | ard to which I was a regular contributor during my years of service on the police force. ““This goes far back to the days when | NOTES IMPROVEMENT IN TEACHING OF MUSIC Miss Estelle anrpent;r Hopes Time for Its Study in Public Schools ‘Will Be Lengthened. Miss Estelle Carpenter, supervisor of music in the public schools, filed a report of the work of her department for the last six months with the Board of Edu- cation yesterday. Miss Carpenter says there has been steally improvement in the work, and much labor and thought have been put into the music teaching. The report says: 1 am glad to say that the teachers are taking i bold of the work In @& most successful way. Music in the schooircom is no longer only a recreation. It is a great need, for by its means we can train the bodles, the voices, the minds and the souls of the children. 1 hope that twenty minutes a day could be given to music instead of ten minutes now al- | lowed. 1 wish that principals wouid assure | themselves that music is given regularly and that no children will be excused from singing unless by order of a physician. 1 am ha?‘lnx ! that 1 may have a regular chorus of school children, aiso an orchestra, if possible. Supervisor of Manual Training Doyle reports that there are 1845 pupils enrolled in his department. ; { Mayor Otis constituted the Board of Po- lice Commissioners. “My, pension after twenty years' ser- : would be $62 50 per month for nearly past ten years. t it is not this money that spurs me on, it is vindication I seek, and my petition for reinstatement to the benefits the pension is the surest method to get it.” Chris Cox is earnest in his present en- deavor, showing the same determination | he did in bygone days when, with Cap- 1 Lees and his force of detectives, he searched more than 400 houses in this city before capturing Banker Duncan of the old Pioneer Bank. That was a most ting case and created much the ne excitement as the Eppinger failure to-day. Duncan bezzling $1,000,000 of the bank's funds. He disappeared and a search for him lzsted some five or six months. caped to the schooner Ellen J. McKinnon that lay in the harbor. Cox, Lees and Ray Silvey were soon in pursuit in Stew: Elaine. Duncan quit tne McKinnon and made the wharf aboard the tugboat Red- mond and again disappeared in the city, He was captured months later. . This chase was in the rainy season of the year and days and nights of exposure with little chance for sleep instilled the firs; germs of the maladies that are crip- pling Chris Cox of this day. The first case that brought Cox inio prominence and put him into the ‘‘upper ofice” or detective department of tha force was the capture of Charles Koh- nigsberg, alias Root, in 1878. Root had terrorized the Western Additlon for months by his audacious burglarjes, than thirty-six serious cases were reported at headquarters. It seemed im- possible to locate the man until Cox and Ray Silvey, also a patrolman, landed him in prison. WORK IN CHINATOWN. But C: heaviest work was for fif- teen years that of a detective in China- town. He had little or nothing to do with the gambling end of the work, but was assigned almost exclusively to tracing petty thieves and murderers. In those s more than now Chinese servants throughout the city were kept under al- most constant i ce by Cox, Sil- i detective a¥ the Palace Hotel. It was | their duty to handle all larceny cases re- | perted at headquarters when the resi- | dences in which they occurred harbored | a Chinese servant, In those fifteen years of Chinatown ser- | vice most of the big and mysterious high- | binder murders in that quarter happened. | ¥rom the case of Lee Saer Bo, who killed a countryman of his for giving evidence in a Napa County murder trial, to that of Lee Chuck, charged with murders in- | numerable, who was captured in a run- | ning street gun fight by John Martin, present captain of detectives, Chris Cox furnished the evidence that sent many hard cases to the gallows, | “I mean to have my record sifted from beginning to end,” said the veteran yes- terday, “and see whether in any way I ever evinced the slightest degree of in- | Chief Cockrell, Davis Louderback and competency.” For real solid comfort and enjoyable rest Mo country appeals so strongly as that along mate Is delightful,’ the mineral springs are nu- merous, there are over 309 living streams, foothills and ranges, for his vacation an; You can st 50 that a person can have ¥ kind ot environment de- op at a mineral s - dwell in a pretty town, r\llllc:an‘onfl‘l farm, camp by a lovely stream or In a will and picturesque canyon.

California Has New Means to Gain Attention of Public. —— s Mine owners in California will soon be called upon to furnish exhibits to make | | up a collective California display of the | mining industry in this State to be shown to the millions from all portion®\ of the world who will visit St. Louis next year. | State Mineralogist Aubrey will have | charge of the collection of the mineral ex: hibts from California. It will be neces- | sary to make a good showing, and to ac- . complish this end many specimens of | | ores, etc., will be required. There is collected in this city a display | of minerals that is excellent, but the! specimens housed .at the State Mining Bureau are not to be removed. It is necessary to keep up the museum for the enlightenment of the thousands who an- nually visit the bureau. The book that is kept open for registrations show that the visitors come from every civilized land on earth. The museum therefore fur- nishes a home exposition that is of value in attracting the attention of miners and | capitalists who visit this State and be- come interested in the mining industry. MUST MAKE COLLECTION. From this it appears that a new collec- tion for the St. Louis Exposition must be prepared. This naturally suggests to | miners of California something concern- ! ing the nature of the collective demon- | stration of California’s mineral wealth and the development of the mineral re- sources of this State that is now possible. There are three great comparatively new possibilities contained in the mineral situ- ation for advertising California, and a | consideration of these is of interest when | the California exhibit for St. Louls is in | preparation. Copper was comparatively little known | abroad as a product of California when | { the *Paris Exposition came off. It was | | better recognized when the Pan-American | Exposition was held at Buffalo. Now it is | of great importance. The field in which | copper has been found takes in practi~ | | cally every county in the State which is classed as mineral bearing. In quantity | | the output of California copper is & fac- | tor in the commercial world. | Dredging for gold as it is practiced | along the banks of the streams in Califor- | nia is an industry that has figured very | little at any preceding world’s show, but | it has, in the last two years, added ma- terially to the output of gold in this State and is extending its field of original ex-| ploitation in California to many counties as far north as Shasta and Siskiyou, and | S moromo == dredgers are found collecting precious | metal in mountain counties along the | courses of ancient river channels. ing industries in California is that of pe- troleum mining. California fuel oil has been shown abroad and the nature and constituents of fuel ofl as produced in this State are fairly well understood, at y commercial men and scientists, lands. But there has been a constant expansion of area and the sta-| tistics of production and the reasonable | predictions concerning future output con- | | stitute a literature interesting and il-| lustrative which is available for exhibi- | tlon use in connection with ofl samples. | The largest of all the more recent mln-i While California has, therefore, been | minerally known particularly as a pro-, | ducer of gold, there are other| factors that may be profitably used now | to illustrate at St. Louls the variety and | extent of minerals that are contalned in the ledges and sofl of a vast Californian/ domain reaching from the Oregon line to | | the border of Mexico. | GREAT SLATE DEPOSITS. | There are possibilities for a demonstra- tion of the California slate deposits of El Dorado County, of which comparatively | little is known outside of the Pacific Coast. It would be strictly within the | bounds of fact to assert that there is slate | enough of good quality for building and | otber uses to be found within a few miles of Placerville to supply the needs of many years to come for all the territory wes of the Mississippi River. Slate outcrop- pings are everywhere to be seen in the | country about Placerville, showing that the slate vein is miles long and, in fact, that there are deposits near the surface of the ground that could not well be ‘ex- hausted in a century. In one instance there is a huge slate ledge that towers | high above the surrounding country and | is within one mile of the railroad at| Placerville. Not many miles distant from | this ledge is another looming slate de- posit that has been developed large | The mineral deposits that can be sent to St. Louis that would attract the most at- tention on the part of thousands will be the nitrates from Death Valley. In that desolate and weird fastn: of sand and | | funereal mountains there are such supplies | of nitrates that they are compared in| quantity to those that have made the | Chilean niter fields famous. Exploitation | is now vigorously being carried on in Death Valley with an aim to verify the reports that have been made concerning | the desert nitrates. There is no region 1in | the world where mining is carried on that | has so strong a title to attention for! physical peculiarities as has Death Val- ley. DEPOSITS DESCRIBED. Since the earlier world expositions the mineral regions and mineral deposits of this State have been systematically and elaborately catalogued and described. Countles are provided with mineral maps and registers, by means of which not only the general aspects of the country are shown, but in addition the means of abcess, the exact locations of mines, re- | ports concerning what has been officlally | learned relative to each and general facts concerning the counties In which the mines are situated are supplicd. The California mineral exhibit will be in- stalled in the mining building at St. Louls, where it will naturally be compared with | the showing that is made by Colorado, Montana and other States that are rich in minerals and are striving to attract capital from abroad. The Calaveras Chronicle says that the | closing of the Soulsby mine in Calayeras ! County surprised every one who knew | the prbperty. The paper says: he mine has been producing a bar of | montity anywhere from $5000 fo " $10.00 i lue, 50 per cent of which went to the own- ors and the remainder was sufficient to meet the running expenses and pay the bonders a slight profit. The bonders, however, are averse to paying the purchase price called for in the bond, which 1s near the $100,000 figure, and they ask for a_reformation of the contract and the privilege of buying the property at a lower figure. The matter 18 being submitted to the owners and pending their decision the mine will remain closedy The Grass Valley Tidings says that there are more prospectors In Trinity | County than ever before. | The Nevada County Miner says: The sale of materials at the Allison R | mine has been ordered stopped. It will bemr'.;‘: Mmembered that before operations were sus. pended the interior of the mine was stripped of everything of value. The shaft was denuded of everything—pumps, pipes and tracks. The jevels were also stripped of the tracks ana ! nothing of any value was permitted to remain | beneath the surface. Then it was ordered that | these things be sold to parties who desired them, and this has been done until recently, | when the sale of materials was ordered stop- ! ped. This information is very suggestive and may nfean much to this city.

That Haquette is thoroughly acquainted with the sea and the men who toil upon it is evident to any one who studies this picture carefully. It is so vividly truthful in every detail that one feels that he has passed through similar experiences himself. He has, in fact, a studio on the cliffs at Pol- let, a suburb at Dieppe, and a boat in which he makes frequent excursions on the sea. In order that he may. come in closer sympathy with the simple sea-faring people among whom he lives he has adapted himself to their manners, wears the same costumes, and in every way tries to look at life through their eyes. Haquette was born in P if the Salo®Wcatalogue is not in error. According to Eugene Montrosier he came when quite young to Paris from some small French provincial town. He first studied sculpture ander Aime Millet, who saw that he had a greater aptitude for painting, and sent him to Cabanel, with whom he underwent six years of strict academic training. He first exhibited in 1875 a portrait of the mother of Got, the actor. subjects.

But the company owning it insists that the sale be an outright and bona fide one. They will not en- tertain a bonding proposition, and as the mine possesses much intrinsic value it will require i large sum for its purchase, and only a com- pany of considerable capital could entertain the idea of purchasing it. For this reason ne- gotiations have been retarded and the work of rehabilitation delayed. There are several companies that would willingly take a bond on the mine. MINE DEVELOPMENTS. The Mining and Scientific Press says that the Layman quartz mines, south- west from Hayfork, in Trinity County, have been bonded to A. J. Van Matre of Sacramento for $30,000. The Southern Consolidated mine in Mono County, near Bodle, has r.esumed work. The Rialto Mining/Company has been organized, with A. Caminetti as manager, to operate in the Gwin mining district, in Calaveras County. The company owns a group of mines west of the Gwif mine. The Twentieth Century mine in Sierra County, near Forest City, is under bond to a San Francisco company. The Gaston Mining Company has been organized to work on Gaston Ridge, north of Nevada City. United States Consul A. S. Smith, at Victoria, B. C., reports as follows con- cerning the susperision of operations at the Extension coal mines near Nanaimo, B. C., the property of the Wellington Col- liery Company: The cause is mot a question of wages. In March a meeting of the employes was held to consider the question of asking for increased wages, when, at the instance of a representa- tive of the Western Federation of Miners, a large majority of the men present voted to form a union and make it a branch of the Western Federation. As soon as news of this action reached James Dunsmuir, the president of the Wellington Colliery Company, he directed that a notice be placed all through the vicinity that the mines would be closed April 1, 1903. The men responded on March 10 by voting to quit Worlk at once. Since then not a ton of coal has been produced In this great mine. The men in- sist on their right to join any union they “hoose, and the directors of the Wellington Colliery Compafy maintaln that while they have no objection to the men forming a union among, themselves, they will not employ men who beng to an International organization and ‘are subject to_the orders of men living outskle of Canada. 7The result s that 1000 miners have since been idle and the town of Lady- emith 1s rapidly becoming depopulated.

SINGLE DISPLAY 15 DEGIDED ON Fireworks on the Fourth to Be Exhibited at a Central Point. The newly appointed Fourth of July committee, realizing that it has little time in which to perfect arrangements for the annual celebration, decided yesterday that hereafter it will meet every Monday and Thursday evenings at 8 o’clock and more frequently if business demands it. Presi- dent Jeremiah Deasy presided at the meeting held yesterday afternoon at the California Hotel. The only fmportant business transacted was the adoption of a report from a sub- committee recommending that the cele- Wration thig year consist of a parade in which only uniformed bedies shall par- ticipate,. one exhibition of fireworks, in- stead of three displays, as of last year, and literary exercises. On motion of James H. O'Brien the committee voted to limit the expense of the fireworks dis- play to $500. Last year the committee spent $300 for fiygworks for three sepa- rate exhibitions and the present commit- tee concluded that $500 would be ample for a single display this year. Grand Marshal Theodore Lundstedt re- ported that he had appointed as his chief of staft Dr. Ira B. Dalzell, and that Mar- tin O'Dea would act as chief aid. The grand marshal added that he and hissas- sistants had alreaay started to werk on plans for the parade and were prepared to announce that it would surpass any- thing heretofore witnessed in the Fourth of July celebrations in this city. President Deasy then announced the ap- pointment of the following committees to take charge of the arrangements of the celebration, subject to changes in the event of members refusing to act: Programme—Theodore Lunstedt, J.
