W. McLellan & | Co., contractors, when the work of clearing away the debris on the Market street side of the old site begins next week. When the walls of the building| crumbled and collapsed during the fire| of last April great quantities of pre- | clous stones, precious metals, many of | longing to guests, were buried under | the 28,000,000 bricks and 2000 tons of iron that had once stood as the most | famous hotel on the Pacific coast. | All the valuables in the two safes were taken out before the crash, but| the riches stored in the apartments of | most of the guests in the front portion of the structure were not saved. When the McLellan company sub-| mitted a contract to the hotel manage- ment stipulating that all of the debris should belong to ‘the contractors, Man- ager Kirkpatrick balked. He insisted that all of the gold and silver found should be returned to the hotel com- pany for restoration to the guests. He was informed that it would cost just $5000 more to have the work done if the clause were inserted. Kirkpatrick agreed to these terms and the silver and gold will be carefully turned over | by McLellan. But not so the precious stones, bronzes, etc. There is not a word in the contract about them and all those not identified by the owners will be retained by the contractor. BUT LITTLE RECOVERED So far nothing has been taken out except odd pieces of tableware and lumps of gold and silver coins melted together, but the big gang of laborers digging in the debris is rapidly eating its way from the rear toward the Mar- | ket street front and will reach the| huge mass of bricks, lime and iron | within a few days. The excitement | among the workmen is intense. The hopes of the “high graders” in the richest gold mine in Goldfield were never raised to a higher pitch than those which put ginger into the mus- cles of the debris labgrers on the old hotel site. They work with feverish haste and their eyes are continually | of his opportu-| About 10,000 Japanese here and in along Fillmore |other citles bordering the bay cele- momentarily on Sun- |brated with tea parties, theatrical en- s Rockwell, a butcher, |tertainments and much beating of women who were |drums the anniversary of the ascension ng her against the of the first Emperor to the throne of showered her with Japan.
