Local Promotion Commiuttee | [s Entitled to Banner for The Nevada County Promotion Com- mittee has issued a descriptive work in which the fact is made duly prom- inent that Nevada is the banner gold county of California. In support of this claim several allegations of more than common interest are made. As a preamble, it is asserted, on the title page, that Nevada is the the most prosperous mining coun- ty in the United States and that its good mines are found where there is a perfect climate and all the com- forts of civilization, two facts that cannot fail to attract the attention of miners in all parts of the world .in whose knowledge mining ordinarily means more than common hardships and many privations. “The history of Nevada says the Nevada County Promotion Committee, “began in the year 1849, when thousands of gold seekers who came to California thronged its rivers, ravines, canyons and river banks and | enr ched themselves to a far greater extent than any of the recent explorers of the Klondike. Since that period it has held its own and is annually producing millions of dollars and has County,” | | added more than $200,000,000 to the wealth of th: world. | Taking another view, the Nevada County Promotion Committee truth- fully says that “this county, In addi- tion to being a producer of gold and other metals, is also a land of pleasant homes, with a genial' and diversified climate, good soil that produces fruit and all kinds of crops in abundance, magnificent forests, cities and towns with all the comforts of civilization; a place where a2 man can live in com- fort and pursue his avocation with his business at home.” ! THE BANNER COUNTY. The greatest interest will attend the statements that the Nevada County Promotion Committee makes in refer- ence to and in support of its claim that Nevada County is the leading gold miring county in the State of California. It is oroudly said that | “since 1849 it has stood first in the production of gold and for a contin- uous period of more than fifty-four | years Its mines have been in opera- tion and are to-day producing their millions of dollars annuaily, with un- | explored territory to warrant their operation for the next century.” Some large figures of production by individual mines are instanced to il- lustrate the cournty’s claim to the ban- ner. The total output of the Empire mine at Grass Yalley, the oldest quartz mine in California, is given as more than $11,000,000. The North Star mines of Grass Valley are credited with a | total production to date of $20,000,000, of which, according to an official state- | ment by the directors of the company, | $736,087 was produced in gold bullion | in the year 1903. The Maryland-Idaho | group in the same lo ality his a rec- | ord of $20,000,000. In the Nevada City | group the Champion mines are reported | to_have had an output of more than | $15,000,000. Many other mines in the | district have yielded more than $1,000,- { 000 each. In the county are the Bloomfield, Eureka, Washington and Meadow Lake districts. “All through the different | parts of ihe county,” says the County Promotion Committee, “the continuous roar of hundreds of stamps, crushing countless tons of ore, is heard year in and year out. Many newer properties, developed and equipped within the last few years, are rapidly proving their worth and sustaining the reputation of the county.” The largest hydraulic mine in the world is in Nevada County. This is the Malakoff. One brick produced from a Nevada County hydraulic mine, the result of one month of running, was worth $114,000. The hydraulic mines and the drift mines show that many miles of ancient river channels exist in the county, underlying lava capped ridges, awalting development by the drift process to yield up their treas- ures. The product of the Nevada Coun- ty mines is in itself legal tender. Tt is a commodity that has no competitor and requires, as the committee truth- fully says, no drummer to sell it, In addition to its resources in gold the county & copper belt that passes through its western portion, in the ESpenceville and French Coral districts. GREAT WATER SUPPLY. The committee does not fail to call attention in Nevada County. The eastern part of the county is crossed by the Sierra Nevada Mountains, with peaks from 8000 to 9000 feet in height. The annual | enowfall in the mountains is from ten to twenty feet. From the snow clad mountains flow the Bear, South Yuba and Middle Yuba rivers, traversing and bounding the county. The average rainfall in the county is from 45 inches in the lower lands to 75 inches on the | higher elevations. Years ago, princi- pally for hydraulic mining purposes, large and expensive systems of canals were constructed, which have since been greatly extended and have been made to cover all sections and supply water for power, mining and irriga- tion. During the dry season the water sup- ply is kept up by the use of large res- ervoirs that have been constructed in the mountains, having an average ca- pacity, on the western slopes of the Sierras, of forty billion gallons. The large and reliable supply of water, be- ing used for power under high pres- sure, has assisted to make mining prof- itable and has been a great factor In the development of deep mining. The eastern portion of Nevada Coun- ty is crossed by the Truckee River, the outlet of Lake Tahoe. The water from this river supplies power for lumbering, manufacturing and mining. The lands of Nevada County are fer- tile. The diversities of its climate are due principally to the diflerences in elevation. The snow capped Sierra borders its eastern part and the west- ern county line runs well to the Sacra- mento Valley. Cereals, common to all California, flourish well on the farming lands. The foothills and mountaines contain some of the finest grazing lands in the State. The finest supply of apples and Bart- lett pears are produced up to an ele- | vation of 3500 feet above the sea level. Grapes, pruns, figs, olives and oranges grow at lower elevations. One of the best known creameries in the State is in the Penn Valley. Settlers of mod- ern means can procure farming lands, possessing a variety of soil, at $5 to $20 an acre. Thousands of acres of land sre used for pasture that need only to be cleared of brush to become the equal of any producing lands in Cali- fornia. Water can be had for irriga- tion at a reasonable price. There are thousands of acres of timber land that are to be bought at from $20 to $50 an acre. The county has large lumbering in- terests and there are other industries of importance. ~The county is well equipped with schools and churches. R e Sk ALAMEDA WAKES UP. Citizens Organize to Make Known Its Merits as an Ideal Home Town. Brainerd C. Brown has prepared for these columns an article concerning the awakening of the city of Alameda, which is published herewith: A change has suddenly come over the spirit of Alameda. Not only the county of Alameda, but the city—that little municipality of the fitth class, which ought, by the way, to be in a class of its own, for with a population of over 18,000 it is out of place in its association with children of so much smaller growth. of Alameda has always been a pect Many have condemned its citi- ®ens as being without spirit. This is unjust. Alamedans have never been spiritiess. They have had plenty of spirit, of a certain kind— a good kind. It has been of a kind to make them take pride in their city as a place for themselves to live in. It has not n of a kind to cause them to call the attention of others to the advantages which they enjoyed. For years they bave had a wonderfully up- to-date place of residance. They have the epirl uwwl:mmmrmm kept clean; that_ their t thelr to any other city on the coast; that the clty’s heeithfulness wWas superb; that its freedom from zvmotic diseases was better than the best and was nearly 50 per cent less than the ““They have had the Bpirit to see to it that their city government humx‘n-t cor- ruption, that when they a city hall high_school building, a free library the structures were erected at & cost fully | to the great water supply!

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.—Following Judge Kersten's decision yesterday to permit the defense in the Iroquois Theater case to pursue its motion for a change of venue to another county, Assistant Stat's Attorney Barnes has tentatively decided to abandon for the present the | prosecution of Business Manager Noonan and Stage Carpenter Cum- mings, and to place Will J. Davis on trial alone. He will take no definite | steps to this end, however, until he has | with State's Attorney ! Deneen and other officials. In order to combat the motion for a change of venue, the State will have to present many thousands of affida- vits to controvert those submitted by the defense and the expense attendan: upon such a procedure would be enor- ‘mous, it is said. If the county offi cials suggest to Barnes that the cost of the proceeding should be taken into consideration, and Deneen does not ob- ject, Noonan and Cummings will be put in the background and the prose- cution’s attention devoted entirely to | Davis. H “If we cannot convict Davis,” said | { | | | Barnes, “then there will be no use to try Noonan and Cummings.” ——— MAJOR GEORGE WILLIAMSON | ORDERED TO CHICAGO Will Be Succeeded in San Francisco | by Captain Wren of Vancouver | Barracks. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—Under or- | ders of the War Department, Captain William C. Wren, quartermaster, now awaiting orders at Vancouver Bar- racks, Washington, will proceed to San | Francisco and assume charge, under | eral, of the construction work at Point Bonita and Forts Mason and Baker, California. He will also report in per- son to the commanding general of the Department of California for assign- ment to duty as assistant to the chief | quartermaster of that department in ! charge of other construction work in the vicinity of San Francisco, reliev- low 2s they could have been under careful ! private management. They have had the spirit o put a high license on saloons and to deter- mine that no saloon should be opened in resi- dence localities, the number of saloons in the city aggregating but twenty-three, They have known of the mildness of their climate; of the | soft modulation of their ocean breezes; of the cheap and quick ferry system. with boats every fifteen minutes, making trips in forty | minutes; of their pure water supply from | deep artesian wells, They have recognized ; the value of all these things. Whether others | recognized that value they have cared not. SPIRIT OF CONTENT. The average Alamedan has for years been content In the satisfaction that his little city | was the place of all places in the world for a pleasant home; the place of all places for | | the raising of a family. If the outside world | knew not of tre advantages which he enjoyed, | 0 much the worst for the world. If the lot next to his own beautiful residence was va- | cant, so much the better. He got all the more | sun ‘thereby; his children had all the more playground thereby. During all these years the average Alamedan Wwould not turn his hand over to call the atten- tion of outsiders to his own beautiful gem of a home city. If one by chance had his atten- tion called to what the world at large knew not of and took up his abode in the favored | suburb, well and good. He was welcomed as @ man of keen perception, who knew a good | thing when he saw it. Probably he had origi- | nally come to view the place by the solicita- | tion of some Alameda friend. If so, he was | made doubly welcome, for that friend stood | sponsor for his acceptability. At any rate, he was now an Alamedan, and as such was en- titled to all the rights and privileges of fel- lowship, And so Alameda has drifted along all these years, happy in its own advantages, assured | that for every dollar of taxes spemt it re- | celved more than a dollar In return benefits, What did it matter to Alamedans that prop- | erty values did not advance? The average Alamedan had nothing to sell. 1f speculators in former years had been foolish enough to load up with vacant blocks, if large tracts | were held intact by estates of deceased per- sons, what cared the Alamedan had to hold Indefinitely? e Take, for instance, his own home. past be had bought a lot 50 by 150 Teet g had pald, say, §1500 therefor. He had bullt him a house costing, say, $4000. He had spent, | say, $500 in beautifying his grounds. What | benefit would it be to him if property values | should double? To-day _that been his home for fifteen years. He does not want to | sell. But during those fifteen years he has | seen to it that whatever would make for the | value of his home life and that of his neigh- bors has been attended to. But a change has come over him. He sees | that there are advantages which can be gained| only by broader co-operation. He sees thal with the vacant lots built upon and occupied | by first-class families there will be more tax | money available, Not that his taxes have | ever been burdensome, but there are many desirable things that &’ little more money can o. For instance, a beautiful strip of land bor- dering the edge of the tidal ‘canal and 1 belob:rz- ing to the city could be beautified, or a drive- way could be made around the shore of the whole island, or the sandy beach on the south side could be Improved until it afforded a bathing place of charming attractiveness, or little parks could be laid out here and there, or a spacious auditorium could be erected accommodate public gatherings, or a children’s playground with gymnasium facilities could be provided. In short, the tight little isle, already beautiful, could be transformed into & gem of delight. ALAMEDANS ORGANIZE. And so Alamedans are waking with the new thought. If their city were located south of Tehachapi it would to-day be the most beau- tiful spot in California. It would be the show of show places, and its charms would Alamedans are just waking up to all this. They have organized two improvement clubs—the Alameda Advancement Association and the West End Alameda Improvement Club. These bodies are in the midst of a campaign of education. They are rapidly inoculating the residents of Ala- meda with enthusiasm. Not that they are neglecting the lines of city improvement which have so long been | followed. No; they are working on thos> lines just the same, In addition thereto, they are advertising their advantages to the outside world. They are lssuing litsrature.

Transfer Man Arrested. The harbor police officers stationed at the | union ferry building have begun a work that will earn them the gratitude of every traveler who enters San Francisco by the transbay route, A swarm of transfer agents infest the arcades of the great structure and make life miserable for the stranger who comes into the city. They gather around him and spatch at his grip or suit case and if he looks gullible he will be promised a free ride to any part of the city, providing the agent gets the transfer of the baggage. Of course, mo such promise is ever kept and the victim' is bled for what- ever sum he may be made pay. Officer John Dower arrested O. E. Miller. a transfer man_ Saturday for violating the city hack ordinance and disturbing the peace. Miller met Henry Darby, a stranger. at Third and Townsend streets. and to get the transfer of the traveler's suit case agreed to haul him to the union ferry free of charge. On arrival at the foot of Market street Mil- ler demanded $1 for the fare, which Darby refused to_ pay. The altercation attracted Dower, and Miller threatened to whip both Darby and the officer. Dower promptly ar- rested the warlike transfer man on the charges mentioned. e e Vessels for This Port. The French bark Max sailed September 23 from Newcastle, Australia, for San Francisco. This is the vessel that collided with and eunk the Pacific Coast steamer Walla Walla with great loss of life off this coast nearly two years ago. The ship Argus salled on the 29th from Ventnor, the ship Memphis from Valparaiso and the Montara from Everett the 30th, for this port. —_—— Steamships Change Owners.

The body of David Sacry, the Santa Rosa merchant and a ploneer citizen of that city, who deliberately threw himself overboard from the Tiburon ferry steamer James M. Donahue Saturday night and disappeared in the bay, has not been found. No reason is known why he committed the fatal act. as his business is in good condition and he was a man who took life very easy. Sacry was 70 years of age, a bachelor and strictly temper- ate yn his habits. His mysterious death has cast a gloom over the city of Santa Rosa. s o sl SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVED. Sunday, Oct. 2.
