It Is possible that Ashlyn is absolute- Iy sincere, but it is a fact that whereas his ordinary performances seldom, if ever, made the 8, R. O. sign necessary, St. George's Hall will scarcely hold the folk who want to see and hear the converted entertainer.” His fame has spread. from Lands End to John o’ Groats. Admission to Ashlyn’s revival meetings is free, but a big collection is taken up e night. Ashlyn declares that he gets not a penny of this. It is understood, however, that every mail | brings the converted entertainer more or less handsome donations from good folk who wish to demonstrate to him | that he has made no mistake in trust- ing the Almighty “to provide.” A few days after the entertainer “found Christ,” as he expresses it, the following amusing letter appeared in |2 London daily journal. It was writ- ten by Miss Frances Kapstowne: “With regard to the ‘conversion’ of Quentin Ashlyn, the papers have omitted to mention that he is the man- ager of a party of three girls called “The Puritan Maidens.’” I am one of these, and although we should not have been permitted to leave his party without due notice, he now tells us at 2 minute’s notice that he is leaving the profession. “I, in my un-Christian way, refused several good offers, as I believed my- self to be under some obligation to Mr. Ashlyn. I see now that the cor- rect thing to have done was to leave him in the lurch. In future contracts ghould have a new clause, namely, ‘In case of manager's ‘‘conversion,” all tours to be considered’ canceled.’” TALK OF SACRED PLAY. Torrey and Alexander, however, ex- press themselves as delighted with their histrionic convert. “There have, however,” said the former, “been quite a number of con- | versions among actors, and quite a vigorous crusade has been begun by these men.

Lioyd, Barl Cummings, William J. Dingee and | William H. Metson, the last named | presiding. ‘The president, A. B. Spreck- { els, was out of town. | When the last document on the file | of bustness was taken up Secretary de | Succa remarked with some emotion that the last was the saddest, and thereupon read his own resignation to | take effect April 156. Commissioner Lloyd moved its accéptance, praising | the faithful service rendered by Mr. de | Succa. Similar expressions of good will came from other Commissioners and a | vote of thanks was given to the retiring | secretary. | On motion of Commissioner Liloyd, | seconded by Commissioner Dingge, ! Herbert Schmitz was elected secretary { by a unanimous vote. De Succa will be appointed storekeeper for the Board of Education. The salary attaching to the park secretaryship is $175 a month. | The pay of storekeeper is §150 a month. Yesterday forenoon the retiring sec- retary was informed of the Mayor's wishes, but was unable to control his emotions of grief when the time came for obeying the decree. . Cuslom accords to the Mayor the privilege of naming the secretary of the Park Commission, and the mem- bers of the board yesterday with some alacrity recognized the desires of the executive. Two years ago Herbert Schmitz resigned the office to which he was elected yesterday to accept a place on the Board of Public Works. Sub- sequently he was slated for the office of Police Commissioner, but some- thing happened to cause a revision of the programme. Commissioner Lloyd -called the ! board’s attention to the original line of the Great Highway as established by ordinance 800 in 1867. The line is 200 feet from highwater mark of 1846. Ad- herence to the original lines will place under the control of the commission a quarter of an acre of land near the Cliff House, which is now occupled and jointly claimed by the city and R. M. Hotaling. The ‘lines recognized by the City Engineer do not place, the gdisputed land within the park domain. Yesterday the Col.missioners resolved to contend for the rights of the park as against the city and other claim- ants. Charles A. Lambert offered to pro- cure for the park from Alaska three young moose and four mountain sheep at $150 each. Commissioners Liloyd, Dingee and Metson each agreed to con- tribute $150 to the fund for purchas- ing the real and true Big Horn moun- tain sheep. Lambert asked the board to get a permit from the United States Commissioner of Agriculture to au- thorize him to kill mother sheep in| order that he may capture the lambs. The Commissioners decided that they | would not ask for such a permit. They will request the Government to give Lambert authority to transfer moose | and sheep from Alaska to Golden Gate Park. i The holder of the Park News con- | cession is in trouble. The expenses of getting out the paper have far ex- | ceeded the estimates and the advertls- | ing revenue is away below the amount he expected to receive when he se- cured the concession. He frankly ad- mitted to the Commissioners that he i was in a hole and needed their assist- ance to get out. The subject, on mo-! tion of Commissioner Lloyd, was re- | ferred to Commissioner Metson. It is understood that everything now due must be paid up before terms can be! made for the future. Superintendent McLaren was au-| thorized to plant in Golden Gate Park ! an emblem of the Knights of Columbus. Along about the middle of June, when | the knights will be here in grand array, the emblem should appear in all its | glory on the sward. The Hall McAllister statue will be placed in position Saturday, April 15, | at 2 p. m. A platform for distinguished | guests will be erected under the super- vision of Judge Hunt and Superintend- ent McLaren. st | | Miseion blocks 86 and 87, bounded by Dolores, Church, Eighteenth and Twen- tieth streets, recently set apart by or- der No. 1441 as the new Mission Park, ! were accepted yesterday by the Park | Commissioners. The Supervisors are | requested to close Nineteenth street so that the landscape architect may not | (be hampered by a street running through the center of the reservation. Commissioner Cummings reported to the board that the police officers on duty at the museum declined to per- form patrol service. The Chief of Po- lice was asked to issue an order re. | | | quiring the policemen to make the rounds of the museum every half- hour, | —————— | i ‘Wants Plans for Poles, W. B. Bourn, president of the San Francisco Gas and Elecfric Company, yesterday sent a communication to the Improvement and Adornment Associa. tion of San Francisco stating that ac- tion has been taken which will greatly ' expedite the removing of its wires and | placing them underground. Bourn ' also asks the association to submit : plans for illuminating poles and the naming of streets so that the com-: art gall pany may work in harmony with the Board of Supervisors. The company proposes to extend improvementd to Union Squate and other places, replac- ing all wooden poles with architectural poles that may be approved by the as- sociation. . : RAILROAD COMPANY ONERATED.— A Coroner's Jury yesterday idental and exonerated the United ilroads and the Bouthern m blame for the killing of P. erson on arch 25, E.

The extension of the dredge mining has been so much discussed lately that the pub- lic has ceased to wonder at any new announcement. Not the least inter- esting gold find that 1s reported is one in Sutter County. Mention has already been made of the discoveries in the tule lands of the county. A long review of the facts is published in the Sacramento Bee, in which some of the leading statements are as fol- lows: Assays of the sand show that it is re- markably rich, as some of it has assayed $40 a ton. Such immense gold-sand deposits right in the center of the Satramento Valley are puzzling to the oldest miners. The deposits are not unlike the beach deposits found on the coast of Alaska in that the sand is found in well defined channels that bear every in- dication of once being an estuary of the ocean or an old river channel. ,In these channels the sand is found about meven feet under the surface and lies in two strata. The first Is about twelve feet in thickness, then clay is encountered for about six feet and the black’ sand is again entered. The second stratum varies in thickness from ten to twenty feet. The channels run in a zig- zag course and are estimated to be from 500 to 800 feet in width. In August of last vear, on the ranch of Mrs, lda F. Lee, located six miles west of the little station of Tudor, in Sutter County, a hired man on the ranch discovered the sand in a shallow hoie, not more than eight feet in depth, and, being somewhat of a miner, panned it out in A ecrude manner and found it to contain gold. A few days later the proprietor of the ranch secured the services of a well-borer and, near where the ranch hand got his sand, sunk a well primarily to get water for the stock and secondarily to ascertain to what depth the gold-bearing sand extended. Boring ceased at thirty-five feet and in that distance two strata of sand and one of clay had been encountered. Both layers of sand contained much water. The sand was tested in a rough way and ail found to con- tain gold. In the early part of November come thirty holes were sunk on the ranch of Mre. Lee and the ranch of W. T. Phipps, which adjoins on the north, for the sole pur- pose of ascertaining the extent of this deposit. Samples were taken at varlous depths from these holes. None of the borings went farther than the clay which underlies the first_layer of sand. This layer proved to be about fifteen feet deep, on an average, and about 600 feet wide, the channel forming a horseshoe on the two rtanches and extending along both sides, of the half-section of land. Some thirty tests were made during No- vember and December by various assayers, showing yields varying from $1 25 to $40 per ton. When these reports were first made pub- lic their correctness was doubted, but when the names of some of the assayers were made known the doubting ceased. No system of separating the gold from the sand has been settled on and miners differ as to tha Drocess necessary. The reported richness of these deposits is too extravagant to be given credence by those who have not seen the assayers’ reports. Since the wells were sunk and tests made on the Lee gnd Phipps ranches boring has been carried on on a number of othas ranches near by. The latest find was two Wkeks ago wheén the report of the assays made of the sand taken from the -acre ranch of John Markley and assoclates showed $12 to the ton. The Markley ranch is a few miles north vest of the tracts_above described and well out into the thile basin. DISCUSSING NEW LAW. The exclusive publication in The Call congcerning the intent of the min- ing legislation passed by the Califor- nia Legislature at its recent session has excited a great deal of interest in all mining sections of the State. The Los Angeles Times says of this law to head off mining fakers: Whether this law will prove broad emough and stringent enough to serve the desired pur- ose can be determined only by the test of its practical operation. That there {s need for gome such law has long been apparent. Le- gltimate mining enterprises have long suf- fered severely from the operations of these fake mining schemes, founded upon worthlese claims and often upon no claims save the mendacious claims of the swindling fakers themselves. 1t this law shall prove sufficient to put an end to the particular kind of swindling to which it re- fers it will accomplish a great and lasting benefit. From the text of the law it is evident that its application 1s not restricted &0 mining cor- porations alone, but that it will apply with equal force to any corporation based on fraud and supported by misrepresentation. I1f the | language in which it is couched may be taken as any criterion, the law seems to be broad cnough o' cover a large number of swindling, —_— Tivoli Opera-House. “Florodora,” the most famous of all musical comedies, will be produced for the first time this Sunday night at popular prices at the Tivoli. The story of the aspiring millionaire and the scheming soclety widow, the stolen secret for the making of the perfume and the righttul heiress is familiar to all theatergoers, as also are the entrancing tunes that have been sung and whistied all over the world. There is every reason to believe the coming production will be as popular as any that have preceded It. The same lavish expenditure of money that made the original production of this musical comedy the most costly ever staged will be seen in the new costumes, scenery and effects with which the manage- ment will dress this popular and successful piece. The cast will be an exceptionally strong one and will include besides the entire Tivoll company geveral new and clever people, among whom will be Aida Hemmi, a renowned East- ern prima donna, Who was prominently identi- fled ‘with the New York productions of ‘“The Knickerbocker Girl" and “The Jersey Lily,” and Walter Shannon. an excellent barytone. One of the chief attractions of the piece will be the ‘‘Beauty Sextet composed solely of California_girls, selected especially for thelr grace, beauty and musical ability. They may be reifed upon to uphold the credit of their native State gnd to fully equal, if not totally eclipse, the Bastern young women who first took part in_the catchy ““Tell Me, Pretty Maiden, Are There Any More At Home Like You?" The production of ‘‘Florodora,” it may safely be predicted, will prove one of the most enjoyable entertainments of the season. —_— e A CALL TO MEN.—A mass meeting for men will be held at the Alhambra Theater to- morrow afternoon. Addresses will be deliversd by pastors representing the various churches of the city and the music will be furnished | by the Knickerbocker Male Quartet. —_—— Excursion to Ukiah.

TPhere are six claims in all. The mining company is composed largely of Los Angeles parties. Clin- ton Johnson is the president. The Klamath River Dredge Mining Company is preparing to operate on a tract of 2100 acres extending in- land from the mouth of the Klamath River. The Redding Searchlight reports a strike in the Reid mines near Red- ding. There are six claims {n one group under bond to D. B. Hunt and James Sallee of San Francisco. Work has been in progress some months. The Marysville Gold Dredging Com- | pany, the Marysville Democrat re- ports, will begin to construct two ' mining dredgers this month, of the type used on the Yuba Consolidated ; of Goldfield district. W. P. Hammon | will be the managing director of the | Marysville company. By the end of | the year six dredgers will be in oper- lation on the Yuba. Two are working, two half completed and two new ones have been contracted for. The Ham- mon company may construct other machines this year. | The Blue Tent mine, owned by C. L. Canfleld and P. C. Drescher and situated on the South Yuba River, six miles from Nevada City, is put- ting 200 tons of gravel a day through the mill. The mine was formerly op- erated as a hydraulic property, but is now a drift proposition. The Redding Searchlight reports | that Deadwood, in Trinity County, is an active camp. A score of leasers are operating and have met with good , returns. Rock ranging from $70 to $600 a ton is reported to have been found. Nevada City is playing in luck. A rich strike is reported in the Lecomp- ton mine. Recently a strike was made at the Murchie. The resumption of work at the Home mine also adds to the good outlook. The Lecompton mine is in the Willow Valley district. The ore was encountered in a cross- cut from the 400-foot level. Local pa- pers say that the strike is the most important that has been made in the Lecompton. MINING IN PLACER. The Placer County Republican has the following about mining operations in Placer County: Gravel was struck in the Strawberry mine at Monona Flat, near Towa Hill. A boring machine has been bought for the Hidden Treas- ure mine at Bullion, in order to draw off the water which has given trounle while sinking | an sirshaft. Lozano & Buchanan are going to install electric_power at tne Bellevue mine in the Ophir district and ~wilr run an air ‘com- pressor and hoist and pump, also operating the | Burlelgh drills by air. Some fine ore has been | struck in the shaft in the Water Dog mine, Where the water hag been giving trouble. It is rumored that the Lclipse-Morning Star may start up soon with Chicago capital. The Quien | Sabe mine, near Westville, a deal for which was reported a couple of weeks ago, was not ! g0ld, and Peter Hinst now holds the controlling interest. He also has two claims which he in- tends to open in the spring. The Tadpole Com- pany at Secret House has 26 claims in one group. It ran a 250-foot tunnel last fall and has @ 15 to 18 foot ledge. It is going to put | in a mill and air compressor,k and Burleigh | drills, which have been pought. At Salor Canyon work 1s being done by three companies who are hunting for channels. The owners of the Scotts Flat gravel diggings on Deer Creek, seven miles from Nevada City, are planning to sink for the blue gravel channel that is| supposed fo underlie that section of | the country between Blue Tent and ! Red Dog. The channel has never been reached in this vicinity, although at- tempts have been made. Some changes have been made re- cently in the ownership of mlnlns! properties in Tuolumne County that | are reported by the Mother Lode Ban- ner: C. Tatten has deeded to George A. Tatten the Golden Treasure, also known as the Old Indian claim, situated on Knights Creek, near the Bourbon. By an agreement of even date Tatten gives to Willilam Danziers a bond for a deed to a half interest in the property. Moul- ton Harmon had deeded to A. M. Divoll an un- divided half interest in the Frisby Annex, an extension of the Sell mine. David L. Oneto bas sold to H. S. Hale an undivided one-half interest In the Gold Flake quartz mine, situ- ated about three-quarters of a mile north of the mouth of Mormon (reek; also a one-half Interest in the Gold FlaKe mill site. % Litigation, the Calaveras Prospect reports, has caused work on the Cali- fornia placer mine to be stopped. The Blue Ledge mines in the Elliott and Joe Creek sections of Siskiyou County, near the Oregon boundary, will be sold at Sheriff’s sale on April 24 at Yreka to satisfy a judgment upon execution. In consequence of litiga- tion no work has been done lately on the claim, hence the suit for sale of the property in order that parties anx- ious to go on with operations may do 80 by right of possession. OREGON QUICKSILVER. The Oregon Mining Journal reports that more attention is given to the pro- duction of quicksilver in Oregon than at any previous time. In a review of the situation the Journal says in part: The flattering showing made by recent re- torts of ores from the cinnabar mines of the Meadews quicksilver district of Jackson Couny, near Trail, has cai a revival of interest in the mining of mercury in this (Medford) sec- tion. Eighty pounds of mercury to the ton are produced. A small plant has been erected, for development purpcses mainly. The retort has & capacity of 1400 pounds of ore per day. There are a half score of cinnabar mines in ke Meadows district, all of which are recefv- ing attention. and all carry values in mercury, with also a fair showing in gold and silver. Several are opened to a depth of 150 and feet, with veins varying in width from ten inches to three and four feet. The number of excellent prospects in the district makes the Meadows one of promise as a future producer of mercury. The Arizona Legislature turned down all bills before it that affected mining. Among the rejected measures were bills providing for mine inspection, for a tax on bullion and prohibiting the tuse of any form of evidences of in- debtedness in place of cash in payment of wages. In February the Copper Queen mine to| 8t Bisbee, Ariz, produced 7,012,000 pounds of copper. An official estimate of the value of Colorado’s mineral production in 1904 places the total at $40,783,074. Of thig gold amounted in value to $24,000,000 in round - figures; silver, $7.400,000; lead, $4,600,000; copper, $1,200,000; zine, $3,300,000. The totals are based on the average price of the several metals in 1904. Of the total of $24,- 000,000 in gold claimed for Colorado ‘one county, Teller, is credited with an . ton of San Francisco, presiding officer j fighters might be observed and emulat- BISHOP DRAWS.
