Police Judge Conlan, who owes exclusive allegiance to neither of the municipal departments aforemen- tioned, dismissed the case and advised the complaining policeman to lay the matter before the Mayor, with a view of inducing that functionary to get the Board of Public Works and the Board of Police Commissioners together for the purpose of adopting a common pol- icy in regard to the removal of bottles from garbage boxes on the public thor- cughfares. For about two minutes William St. Clair Gloster, charged with murder, was a free man. When he was called | for arraignment. before Judge Fritz | there was no formal complaint on file, nor was any one present to prosecute, s0 the Judge dismissed the case, but ere Gloster could leave the courtroom while a complaint was filed.

Schmoll, grad- | uate of the University of Basle, Switz- | erland, and former fellow of the Johns | "ankins University. Dr. Hirschfelder | | of the City and County Hospital testi- | fied it was at his invitation that Dr. | Schmoll came to San Francisco, and | that while awaiting a license to prac- | tice he examined some patients, but did | not prescribe for them. The Judge de- | cided that while the defendant might | | have technically violated the law he did not do so deliberately. The testi- | mony of a French boy called by the | prosecution proved a boomerang, for| it was to the effect that Dr. Schmol | had resolutely refused to treat him. o e B Three able-bodied male vagrants were | given six months apiece by Judge Fritz, | who opined that the healthy man who | prefers vagabondage in the city to hon- | est industry in the fruit orchards, | where such men are much needed just | now, is unfit to mingle in civilized so-| ciety. The forlorn trio was rounded up | by Patrolman Brown, whose work was commended. CLASH BETWEEN CITY OFFICIALS Dr. Poheim of Health Board Takes Exeeption toRemark of Supervisor d’Ancona LIE PASSED AT MEETING Trouble Arises Over Effort to Have Finance Committee Back Down From Report ALt There was a lively scene yesterday at a special meeting of members of ' the Board of Health with Supervisor d’Ancona of the Finance Committee. For a moment it looked as though D’Ancona and Dr. Poheim, a member of the Health Board, would engage in hostilities. The meeting was called for the purpose of arriving at an under- standing regarding a modification of the report of the Finance Committee taking the Heaith Board to task for alleged violations of civil service re-| strictions and salary allowances in the budget. Dr. Ward, president of the Health Board; Health Officer Ragan and Deputy Health Officer Louis Levy were also at the meeting. When the discussion had nearly come to an end Dr. Poheim said he knew of his own knowledge that cer- tain Supervisors had violated the civil service regulations by placing laborers in Chinatown who were not on the civil service eligible list. This asser- tion evidently caused D’Ancona to lose his temper, for he hotly retorted: “That’'s a — lie” Poheim's face flushed and as the meeting broke up said to D’Ancona: “I would like to see you outside some time. You have made certain assertions which I want explained. I may communicate with you later,” and Poheim retired with his fellow officials. Previous to this incident, which re- sulted from the strained relations existing between the Finance Commit- tee and the Health Board, Dr. Ward made a statement, in which he pleaded for harmony and for a better under- standing between the boards, whereby the best interests of the health affairs of the city could be conserved. Ward said that salaries had been advanced | because of increased work put upon certain officials and that the best thing the Board of Health could do would be to resign if it was to be hampered in its work. He further said that if the Finance Committee’s report was adopted by the Board of Supervisors it would play havoc with the adminis- tration of the Health Department. Dr. Ward continued: i If the consolidation of the food department with the bacteriological depaxtment cannot be effected to make efficient the pewer of the board in the proper analyses of milk from the bacteriological standard, which fs the only standard, and the examination of the various food products by the laboratory, which is the only correct method, then all of the crusade as to impure milk becomes obsolete through our inability to obtain a correct knowledge and execute the laws. It might as well be assumed now as later that the Board of Supervisors has 8o tied the hands of the Board of Health as to make its power nil, and we might just as well surrender the whole commission as to struggle with inade- quate resources. ———— | OPPOSE REPEAL OF TAX ON PUBLIC DANCE HALLS Supervisors Not in Favor of Proposed | Ordinance That Was Introduced | by Lunstedt. | The Supervisors’ joint Judiciary, | License and Police Committee yester- | day had under consideration a pro- posed ordinance repealing the license tax of $75 per quarter on public dance halls and ballrooms. Lunstedt, who | metal Joseph O'Donnell, who stole an arm- |introduced the ordinance, argued that chair from a Mission street furnlture{“ was an injustice to exact a liquor | store, was given four months’ impris- | license in addition to the $75 license oniment By Judi PrHits | from such places and thought the lat- MAH MINERS TO ON URGES CALIFORNIA ACT STRONGLY Irwin Mahon, secretary of the Ameri- can Mining Co:gress, calls upon the miners of California, through the agen- cy of a circular letter, to attend the mining congress.and lend strong aid to | the muvement for the institution of a | national Department of Mines and Min- {ing. Mr. Mahon usserts that in this | movemwent California played a leading ipart at the beginning. A paragraph from his letter follows: The 1iovement for tis creation of an inde- pendent Department of Mines and Mining was made fcr the welfare, ot of any one section but the gntire North Asuerica. It was started in Calltimia many vyears ago, and taken up, | by the American Minidg Congress in Denver |in 1897, with The Calf of San Fruncisco as one of ius strongest and most persistent advo- | cates, acd it would be @ serious loss of pres- tige for California to be so apathetic at this | time, when the questicn is surrounded with | greater difficulties then it was when she | champlorted its cause, 10 lose ber leadership. | TAt the coming assembly of the American | Mining Congress, meeting in Portland, Ore., ! August 22, 1904, this question will be taken | up and discussed by statesmen of national and | International < reputation, and by them, | through the American Mining Congress car- jed up to the Congress of the United States, nd the part our mining States and Terri- “alifornia, Colorado, Mon- Washington, New in this coming strug- record ories, especially Cal tana, 0, Wyoming, Mexico and Oregon, tak gle becomes a matter of IMPORTANCE lNCRE’ASES. ests of the proposed Department of Mines and Mining has increased since The Call began its earnest advocacy of {it. The singular situation in which the ;pe!roleum miners of California were | placed under placer mining law is one | instance of note. The taking up of | mineral lands under the stone and tim- ber act and the scandals that have iorlglnated in this method of land-grab- bing is another. A Department of Mines | apd Mining will be needed always in California, as in all the mining States. | Attention is directed to the following | statements that are now sent out by ! Secretary Mahon, representing the min- | ing congress: | The Unitea States is the greatest mining | country in the world, and yet we are the only reat nation that does not provide an ade- ate supervision of the industry, and we can never have a proper governmental supervision of the industry of mining until the Congress of the United States creates an independent Department of Mines and Mining, with a Secretary at its head, who shall be a mem- ber of the Presiden! The Devartment of Commerce and Labor, recently established, With its several burcaus, in which mining is placed as a bureau within the bureau of manufacture, was no more Tec- essary, nor even as much 80, than is a De- partment of Mines. The placing of mines under the supervision of the Department of Commerce i= not only unsatisfactory, but it is a reflection on the importance of the indus- try in its relation to the welfare of the indus- trial life of the nation, and a detriment to its greater advancement and independence. Mining has tremendous certainties. The value of our mineral products in 1880 was $369,319,000, In 1500 these products were val- w at $619,512,173, In 1899 the value was $976,500,046, and in 1900 passed the billion- dollar mark In considering this question we must not assoclate it altogether with the preclous . The value of our bituminous and anthracite coal production each year runs up into the millions of dollars; also petroleum, cement, brick, clay and stone, and the speci- fled mineral products on the mineral output list of the Geological Survey number sixty- two, and with the mining Industry, as it is, still in its infancy. Certainly this infant is quite large encugh, quite important and strong enough to be taken out of .its swaddling clothes. It not only looks to be_but it is, out of place when it is a bureau within the manu- facturer's bureau of the Department of Com- merce and Labor, In its bearing on the general welfare and prosperity of the country, mining, in the nar- rowest light one can lock upon If, is as po: erful for good as any of the other State d partments, and it Is not impossible for even the most ordinary statistician to show, in pro- portion to the population, that the products of the mining States are of far greater commer- clal value than the products of any other States in the Union. DUE TO PROSPECTORS. Few exvlorers have ever endowed a nation with a richer dower than the prospector. He it was who gave California, Colorado and the Great West to civilization. But for the prod- | ucts of our mines there would be no Great West to-day. The frontier would still be rest- ing on the Missourl River. With the development the mining in- Qustry, the number of working mines has in- creased proportionately. Thousands of men are working in mines and at mining plants. The interests of these men must be safeguarded, not in an indirect way, not through a department in which mining will figure as an incident along with the lighthouse service, marine hos- pital service, bureau of foreign commerce and similar branches of the public service, but in an independent department of its own, as the The importance to the mining inter- | be more fully ventilated | i With Judge Mogan confined to his home by illness and Judge Cabaniss | away on vacation, there was double duty for Judges Fritz and Conlan yes- terday, but the calendars were cleared with neatness and dispatch. Judge Mo- gan’s vacation begins to-day and Judge Cabaniss returns to toil next Monday. e —— Daughter Asks for Share. Dolores Cristobal, a daughter of Jose Guardiola, who died in Paris on November 19, 1901, yesterday peti- tioned the Superior Court for a partial distribution of the estate, which con- sists of $750,000 cash and valuable bonds of the Market Street Rallroad Company and Omnibus Cable Rajlroad Company. She says that the widow, Rosario Segimon Guardiola, and the Archbishop of Tarragona, Spain, had | assigned to her a one-fourth interest in the estate, six bonds of the Omnibus Cable Railroad Company and eleven bonds of the Market Street Railroad Company. She seeks for the distribu- tion of her share. ———— Leaves to Bring Germain Back. Detective Steve Bunner left yester- day afternoon for Hamilton, Mont., with the papers for the extradition of | Benjamin F. Germain, who is wanted | here on a charge of bigamy. He is ac- | cused of having married Virginia H. Barker in Santa Barbara while he had | a wife living in Eureka, Humboldt County. He deserted Miss Barker in | Seattle after inducing hér to give him | $300, which she obtained from the sgle | of her store in Santa Barbara. e Rabbi Myers Returning to City. Rabbi Isadore Myers, who has been | on a trip to the East, will leave New York to-morrow on his way to this city. He will be accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Levey, an Eastern cantor, who. is saild to possess a tenor voice of rare range and quality. He will assist Rabbi Myers in the services which he will conduct in Franklin Hall, Fillmore street, during the com- ing high holidays. —_—— Presentation Convent Meeting. E The former pupils of the Presenta- ' tion Convent, Powell and 6 Lombard streets, are invited to a special meet- ing to be held in the convent hall on Sunday, July 31, at 2 p. m. As the firtieth anniversary of the coming of the Presentation Sisters to this coast is soon to be observed, a very large at- tendance is expected so that final ar- rangements may be made for the golden jubilee. ter should be abolished. Comte and Brandenstein expressed themselves as | opposed to the repeal, as it would af- fect many dives along Barbary Coast. Comte wanted the roll call to settle the matter at once, but Boxton thought further inquiry should be had. Chief of Police Wittman sent word that he protested against abolishing the license, and action was postponed for two weeks. The committee expected to receive the report of City Architect Shea rel- ative to the safety of theatérs and lodging-houses, but Shea did not put in appearance. The committee de- cided to take up the matter next Fri- day at 3 p. m. The Judiciary Committee rejected the petition of the estate of Charles Hanson, deceased, for the refund of $1510 29 taxes illegally collected on stock of the Tacoma Mill Company. The committee allowed Thomas Price $100 on his demand of $150 for expert services in the Soeder murder case. The committee allowed Judge Fritz | a copy of the Penal Code for 1903, but owing to lack of funds denied his request for civil codes, code of civil procedure and political code. The claim of John P. Gorman for injuries received by falling Into a street excavation was denied. The committee expressed itself in favor of compelling the use of both non-combustible oil and an independ- ent electric circuit for exit lights in theaters. ———— MR.

Gonzales, Mora & Co., cigar manu- facturers, who have sued O'Brien, Keller & Co. for $20,000 damages for infringement of a trademark and di- version of custom of a certain brand of cigars, yesterday obtained from Su- perior Judge Hunt an injunction re- straining the defendant company from using the name and trademark in question pending the trial of the case. | agriculture of our country is now cared for. | New and complex problems are arising in the mining Industry constantly, which must be judicially considered by men equipped for that purpose As far back as December, 1808, Charles D. Waicott, director of the United States geolog- fcal survey, reported to the chairman of the Senate Committee of Mines and Mining that he beleved the mining interests uf the country should have a clearly defined repres:ntation in_the organization of the Government. In 1808 our mineral products were valued ut | $697,820,720. They passed the biilfon dollar mark in 1901 Certainly if such a_department was desirable in 1898 it is absolutely necessury six years later. > The American Mining Congress very well | understands that since the establishment of the Department of Commerce and Labor, with | mining as it is, a bureau within the bureau of manufacture, it becomes more difficult to secure ‘an Independent department of mines and mining. That affords no reason for lag- ging in the work for it. It is rather one of | the greatest incentives for concentration of in- | fluence more active and powerful than ever before. Everything is to be gained by an ear- | nest and honest fight and nothing lost. As to | the tmportance of the issue—not alone to min- ing men, but to the whole country—there can be no question. DREDGING ON THE YUBA. The Marysville Democrat, describing | great dredgers that have been built to operate near the channel of the Yuba River a few miles east of Marysville, says that the first one is ready to work and the second will soon be finished and | join in the work. The dredgers are 265 feet long. They cost about $100,000 each. The buckets will be able to dig to the depth of sixty feet. The Democrat says: Each of the large iron buckets will take up an average of six cublc fest of sand, silt and gravel to be washed and gold extracted. Twepty buckets can be dumped in one minute, an averagze to each boat of about 6480 cubic vards in a run of twenty-four hours. If the deposits contain the amount of gold reported, say 10 to 36 cents to the cubic vard, it can readily be seen that these two dredgers will extract a large sized fortune in a month. A large amount of electric power is necessary to operate one of these boats, as there,are eight motors to each. The main motor is 100 horse- power. two of 5O horeevower, two of 20 and the others less, the total horsepower being ‘When in running condition, after all ma- chinery is in order and working as expected, eight men will comprise a shift on each dredge, and they will work elght hours each. The great boats stand about forty-five feet above the water in which they float. The Democrat also calls attention to the fact that additional chines will be constructed for work along the channel of the Yuba River. Quartz mining is more actively prosecuted in time. The dredgers open up a new in- dustry. According to the Bakersfield Califor- nian there is renewed activity in the Kern County oil flelds. The Californian says: The Associated is not only making contracts B e o ey o r sequiting new prope in other of 5 e wells on each 'h.lchv the section 29, just three There are Yuba County than at any preceding | Recalls That This State Originally Advocated Department of Mines and Says-the Nzed Is Greater Now Than Ever in History of Industry Having Billion Dollars Output —_— completed before the combine was formed and absorbed the originel owners. The Associated is now hauling lumber to rig up the wells and has started work on them again, cleaning them out and putting them on the pump. The Reed Crude property, which is now to be opened again, is on section 32 and is sepa- rated from that in another part of the field which has been worked by the combine. OPERATIONS IN AMADOR. Concerning operations of well-known mines in Amador County the Amador Record says: The general underground work at the Ken- nedy mine continues the same as usual, while the work of building an addition to the new mill at the east shaft and the moving of the old one continues. All the machinery of the forty-stamp old mill is in readiness to be moved when conditions are such at the new | mill to recelve it. When those improvements are made the Kennedy will have a 100-stamp mill. This number of stamps have been drop- Ding for some time at the Kennedy mine, but Wwhen all are put in one bullding work will be facilitated and expense saved. The force of men lald off some time ago at the South Eureka mine has been put to work again and everythlag about that property is continuing full blast. Good progress is being | made on underground developments, while the bullding of an addition to the mill’ will be in | progress before long on top. Twenty stamps of the Baliol mill have been purchased from that company, and they will be put in place at the South Eureka. At the old 'Treadwell mine, situated not far from Volcano, but more recently known as the Diapa, sold by M. D. Nixon to the Seattle company, considerable work has bee n going on under the new management. A five-stamp mill has been moved from near Volcano to the property and is crushing ore. J. B. Ferris has bought the Barney Collins mine, in Kern County, near the Bright Star property, owned by Park & | Lacey. He is also interested in the old | Keys mine, at Keysville, The Redding Searchlight reports live- ly times at Bully Hill. Two furnaces are going. A railroad is in construe- tion that will run to the Anchor mine from the smelter at De La Mar. The Tulare Register reports that sev- | eral companies have been organized to | work borax deposits in the Frazer Riv- | er Mountains. According to the Redding Free Press the Whiskytown district has become one of the liveliest in Shasta County. The placer mines in Murderers Guich will be operated. The mill at the Gam- brinus mine is about ready to start. The Mad Ox mine will soon be oper- ating. The Nevada County Miner reports a good strike in Willow Valley at the Buckeye mine. Property values at Keswick are re- ported to have fallen since it became known that the Iron Mountain Copper Company will éstablish its smelter in| Contra Costa County. Conversely this shows how mining plants add to values. The Placer Herald reports that the Gold Blossom and Evening Star mines are about to shut down. Lack of capi- tal to operate is given as the cause. An odd phase of mining is reported by the Jamestown Magnet, which says | that two professional divers went down in the Draper mine in, 112 feet of water to the cylinder of the pump, knocked | out the rusty bolts and replaced them with new ones, then cleaned out the accumulated debris from the valves and returned to the surface. Then pumping was resumed. Two hundred men, so says the Yreka Journal, are employed at Humbug Creek, at and above the forks. Several mines are to be largely developed. Six mining claims and mining ground have been sold by T. J. Nolton to the Rail- rcad and Mining Membership of Colo- rado. The Nevada County Miner says that an examination will be made of an old river channel that underlies the town | of Weaverville, in Trinity County. Pros- pecting drills have been started. If the discoveries are satisfactory shafts will | be sunk. The Tuolumne Independent reports | that W. C. Stanley has sold four-fifths | interest in the Alexandra, Little Blue, | Happy Hooligan, Josephine, Swiss and | Victor quartz mines, between the North | Fork and main Tuolumne rivers, to J. Jerome Smith, E. H. Cary, E. C. Thwarte and L. M. Cutting for $80,000. —————— CLAIMS AGAINST EPPINGERS. Judge Kerrigan Passes Upon Proof of Debts Amounting to $180,000. Two claims, footing $180,000, against the insolvent Pacific Coast Warehouse Company, involving unpaid loans made to Eppinger & Co., were allowed | in the Superior Court yesterday by Judge Kerrigan. The proof of debt for the Colusa County Bank in the sum of $150,000 was made by the cashier of the institution, T. Harring- ton, and the debt of $30,000 to the Bank of Woodland, in Yolo County, was made by Cashier J. 8. Craig. The borrowings of the Eppingers from the Colusa bank extended over a period from September 25, 1901, to December 13, 1802. The amounts ranged from $2725 to $28,000 and the securities given consisted in negotia- ble receipts on the Pacific Warehouse Company for grain in quantities from 1917 sacks to 24,918 sacks. The grain given as security amounted to 30,000 tons, but on June 6, 1903, there was only 3500 tons in the warehouse and because of the removal of the tags from the sacks this could not be iden- tifled as representing any of the re- ceipts given. It is alleged that the warehouse company converted all of the grain to its own use. The proof offered by the Woodland bank was of the same character, the largest sum borrowed by the Epping- ers having been $11,300 on March 21, 1903. The security was 7487 sacks of grain and the bank’'s share in what remained in the warehouse was not worth more than $100. —_——— Ye Olde English Inn, 144 Mason st. Just one trial at Babs & Jules'.
