Back of this deal is plenty of capital, $500,000 of which has already been put up in bonds for the purchase of the property, the opening of vast mining properties south of Livermore, and the establishment of lat least three manufacturing plants upon the shores of San Francisco Bay in the city of Oakland. The deeds for the transfer of the ‘property and the notification of the bond issue were made a few weeks ago, but the magnitude of the work, the amounts involved and the plans of the backers of the enterprises and their names have been kept very quiet until to-day, when the bonds for the pur- chase of the property were delivered. Now everything is ready to go ahead and by September 1 men will be at work on the -side of Red Mountain opening up the vast deposits of mag- nesite. There will be one parent and three subsidiary corporations. All are backed by Chicago capital and the Pacific Coast representatives announce that the corporations will all be close ones and that no stock is for sale. It is as- serted that the stock has all been ap- portioned among those who financed and those who promoted the deal. The parent company Is the American Magnesite Company, organized under the laws of the State of Maine. This company has for its president Colonel G. Watson French of Chicago, who is interested in the management of sev- eral large steel plants in that section. H. C. Stilwell of Fruitvale, one of the California promoters, will remain in the company as vice president and gen- eral Pacific Coast agent of the products of the mine and manufacturing com- panies. Frank A. Daily of Chicago will be secretary, as one of the represent- atives of the Chicago capital invested. Gustave F. Fischer of Rubins, Dupey & Fisher, representing the United States Steel Corporation, will be treas- urer. Charles H. Spinks of Berkeley will be manager of the mining propo- sition with E. L. Richmond superin- tendent at the mine at Red Mountain. EXPECT TO SHIP ORE. This company will begin its work first, opening the deposits of magnesite on Red Mountain, bullding roads and preparing to ship ore to Oakland and New York. The principal use to which magnesite is put is the manufacture of fire brick for locomotives, smelters, furnaces and boilers of all kinds. J. V. Rose, who is interested in the manufacture of this brick in Sharon, Pa., is one of the principal men in the deal. Rose will organize the Rose Brick Company and is now in the East. This company will include his plants in the East and one -to be erect- ed in Oakland. This_ latter plant will utilize a®portion of the output of the Red Mountain mine. It is the in- tention to erect a plant that will have an output of 100,000 bricks a day. This factory will also turn out a building brick. In the reduction of the magnesite ore a large quantity of carbonic acid gas is given off. This will be utilized by the American Carbonic Acid Gas Com- pany, of which John Deere of the Deere Implement Company will be president and George A. Wyman, his son-in-law, will be manager. This company will also be operated in Oakland. The third corporation will be the Plastic Construction Company, of which Edwin D. Weary of Chicago will be president and manager and Peter Burg Jagger of London, England, will be vice president. These men control the American rights for the manufac- ture of a patent brick and construction material, the basis of which is mag- nesite. This material is said to be ab- solutely fireproof and can be made into flooring and put to many other uses. This factory will also be located in Oakland. / = All of those interested in the general deal will have some share in each ona of the companies. Peter L. Kimberly of Chicago is said to be the principal backer and will be on the board of di- rectors of ali the companies. The oth- ers whoge names have been mentioned have interests financial in each com- pany, but will divide their managerial services. BONDED FOR $500,000. The American Magnesite Company has bonded itself for $500,000. These bonds will go to the payment of the promoters of the mining scheme for the purchase of the property, and most. of them have already been delivered.

These mines are said to be the largest deposit of the kind in the United States, if not in the world, and it is intended to compete with the product that is The mongey for the development of the | now being shipped into this country property will come from Chicago. The mines are locdted on the side of Red Mountain, on the dividing line be- tween Santa Clara and Stanislaus counties. The mines are nearly all in Santa Clara County, with a few claims in Stanislaus, though only a few miles south of the Alameda County line. The new company will build a road from the mines on Red Mountain to {he Alameda County line, there to connect with the road now being built up the Arroyo Mocho from Liverpiore by the Aldmeda County Supervisors. The of- ficials of the company say that they will make Livermore the point on the through which they wiil do their work, and that the various ries will be located on the Oax- I from the mines in Greece. “We are practically ready to go to work,” sald C. H. Spinks, the manager of the new company, ‘“‘and by Septem- ber 1 we will probably have a force at work. We have been bothered with legal details, which have all at last been settled and the bonds issued. We met many tangles that had to be straightened out, and, while the deal was completed some months ago, we have not been able to get to work be- cause of those tangles. This is one of the largest deals that has been con- summated in a long while, and it means the bringing of much capital to California. The property involved con- sists of twenty-seven mining claims on the side of Red Mountain, comprising the largest body of magnesite in the world.” - Sl ALAM SUM DOORS CLOSE Sessions at the University and Theological Semi- nary Come to a Finish . : THE FACULTY LEAVES Successes Justify the Am- bitious Efforts to Better Results for Next Year Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, Aug. 5. With the close of the summer school to-day at the University of California after a period of six weeks, there came the usual bustle among faculty and students and the hurry to get trunks and baggage out of town on the first train. Few of the European and East- ern members of the faculty lingered a moment after their final lectures, the one idea being to get started on the way across the continents. All that are left now consist of California fac- ulty and students waiting for the reg- ular college year to open. Of the Easterners, the only laggards are eight, who will stop over on their way out of the State at Regent Charles ‘Wheeler's home on the McCloud River in Shasta County, where President ‘Wheeler will also be a guest. All through the session the visiting members of the faculty have been | wined and dined and feted, so that most of them are surfeited with din- ners and receptions. They have been entertained by President Wheeler and President David Starr Jordan, Dean Leon J. Richardson and by most of the prominent professors of the California faculty. Professor Hugo de Vries of the University of Amsterdam and Pro- fessor Svante August Arrhenius of Stockholm have been the guests of Luther Burbank of Santa Rosa. Be- sides these individual entertainers, there have been functions in honor of individual members of the Harvara Club, the Unitarian Club, the Wiscon- sin Club, the Stanford Faculty Club and the California Faculty Club. In point of numbers, aside from the important character of the personnel of the faculty, this session has been the largest in the history of the university summer schools. The revised figures show that the total number of registra- tions this year was 913 students, against 859 last year, which was then the largest of any previous school. There were 1400 applications, with 933 qualifications and 20 withdrawals, leav- ing 913 as the net result. These results are so flattering that it will take a spécial effort to keep up the high standard in numbers and fac- ulty next year. Professor Wheeler feels that he is justified now in inviting to the coast the most noted savants. Al- ready lines have been laid to secure for the next session mén from the East and Europe who have added so much to the store of the world’s knowledge by their scientific work. The summer session of the Pacific Theological Seminary, the first of the kind ever undertaken by that school, closed its doors to-day after being open two weeks. Seventy students were enrolled and a course of lectures was given by divines invited from the East and from among the clergy of Califor- nia. So successful was the school that it will be repeated next year, except that its scope will be much more com- prehensive. e —————et———— GATHERS MORE FACTS ABOUT GOLDEN TROUT Stanford Ichthyologist Returns From Mount Whitney and Will File Report at Washington.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 5.—The Board of Public Works has decided to sell the interests of the State of Maryland, amounting to $30,000,000 in the Ches- apeake and Ohio canal to the highest bidders The stock it was supposed the State had been holding for many years cannot be found and no evidence has come to light that it ever existed. Governor Warfleld has been quoted as saying that neither the Treasurer, Controller nor himself has been able to trace any receipts showing that the State ever had an interest in the canal, but that there was no doubt as to the legal rights of the commonwealth in the property. - KEG OF POWDER IN A BURNING RESIDENCE SAN DIEGO, Aug. 5.—During a fire which destroved a large two-story house at the corner of Twelfth and K streets to-day one of the firemen dis- covered a 25-pound keg of powder un- der a pile of debris. The flames were then very near the explosive, which the firemen carried to a place of safety. Many persons on the second floor had narrow escapes. An invalid woman was rescued with much diffi- culty. One man, a Mexican, fell and broke his arm while escaping. ADVERTISEMENTS.
