San Francisco Slock Beport.
The intelligent and enterprising
merchants of San Francisco have
fain made arrangements to expasd
their sphere of usefulness and secure
another big slice of trade. The read
ers of the Daily block Jieport are fa
miliar with the successful efforts ot
our raercbaots in the past and can
therefore realize why we do not hesi
tate to predict another victor' for tbe
mercantile community in this new
venture. At a meeting of representa
tive merchants it was decided to or
ganize an excursion into Arizona and
New Mexico for the purpose of inves-
tintine the trade demands of those
two Territories. The opinion at the
meeting was unanimously in favor of
the excursion, and some of our prom
inent merchants went so far as to say
that, instead of sending subordinates,
they would, as had been their prac
tice heretofore, look over the field
themselves. One gentleman, a pio
neer merchant, said that the pioneer
element in the city had always been
progressive and instanced their com
prehensive enterprise in grasping the
entire trade of the South Seas and the
Orient. This striking and truthful
statement elicited hearty and con
tinued applause from his hearers, with
cries of " 20 on. " The speaker then
compared the merchants of ban Fran
cisco with those of Chicago, and
showed how the latter had procrasti
nated until they were spoken of in the
most derisive terms by all the really
wiue-awake merchants. Again there
were cheers and other signs of ap
proval. After an earnest and theught
ful consideration of the excursion
project, which, by the way, took a
wide latitude and brought out many
pertinent iacts, the programme of the
excursion was arranged in detail and
the meeting closed with three hearty
cheers for the merchants of San Fran
cisco. It is mortifying to realize, just as
we have finished our article, that no
such meeting as we have described
has occurred or is likely to occur.
We must have been dreaming.

A funny thing occurred behind the
scenes that might have been lunuier. It
was a wet, cold night, and a writer
for one of the papers, with his over
coat on, and his pants rolled up over
his boot tops, and an umbrella 'in his
hand, and an old slouch hat on his
head, stopped a moment ' have a
chat with Pauline liarkham, who
was playing Stalacta. Markham wa
waiting below the stage, stauiling on
the trap that was to bounce her into
the fairy realm. The writer got to
talking to Polly, and they got inter
ested in the chat, and before they
knew it the trap had begun to go up.
Markham noticed it at first and cried
lo the reporter, " For heaven's sake,
get off!" But getting off wasn't as
easily done as said. The reporter
was pretty tall and clumsy, and easily
scared, so he stood up, lookin' about
him like a fool going up, up, all the
time. But Markham at last and just
at the last moment, too gave the fel
low a shove and knocked him off the
trap. He struck his head ou the floor
of the stage anJ then tumbled down
on a coil of ropes. He might have
broken his head, or his back, or his
bones, bat he didn't. But it was a
mighty close shave, and Markham
kept laughin' to herself all the t ren
in', thinkin' how the audience would
have roared to have seer, that long,
siao-siaea leiiow. with ins dirty, wet
boots and his rolled-up breeches, and
his slouch hat and his old cotton um
brella, eomin' up out of cloud-land
and alongside of her, all in her silks
and satins and spangles, as the "Queen
of the Faries."

Uiiee miles above Peekskill, in the
highlauds of the Hudson, searching
for the Venture uaiiey, the vessel
which Captain Kidd commanded dur
inu one of his piratical cruises, mado
a discovery. Mr. D. D. Chaplu, of
Phillinsburg, r. who owns th
island, has a tradition, handed dowu
from what he considers a reliable
source, that the vessel while sailin
up the Hudson one aarK nignt to es
cape two pursuing British men-of-
war, ran on the point of rocks which
mark the eastern shore of the island
The position ol the island is such as
to sucKest an occurrence of that na
tutc. The company which is work
ing at the island became satisfied that
Mr. Chapin's tradition had some basis
Thev accordingly sent a wrecking
ves.se! with all the improved maenin
ery necessary, and a powerful dredge
and force-pump of enormous capacity
The work is m charge ot superin
tendent C J . Pike and .hnginecr (J
P. Taskcr. They began dredging 30
feet from the shore and scooped out a
hole 100 leet long and 40ieetdecp,
Here they found the bow of a vessel,
whose timbers wore nearly rotted
away. It lay apparently at an angle
of 40 degrees, liy removing about 40
teet more ot mud. and going down m
feet further, they reached nearly the
center of the wreck. Pieces of spars,
ship timbers and pieces of live oak
plank have been brought up to the
suifucc by the dredger. The com
pany has two divers on the spot, and
the report that the wreck of a vessel
at least 1U0 icct long lies buried in
the mud at a stage of from 40 to 00
feet under the water. Yesterday the
dredge became fastened in something,
and in trying to raise it the chain was
broken. A diver was let down ;w
feet, and remained under the water
an hour and a half. When he came
up he reported that the dredge had
become fastened in what appeared to
him to be a large gun, the point of
which was fast in the stiff inud. In
proof of what he said he brought up
iron scales, which he prodded off
with his sounding iron. Mr. Clmpin
and Mr. Pike are quite sure they have
really struck Kidd's vessel, the gun
seeming to them to be proot suiucicnt.
Mr. Taskcr, the engineer, says the
mud is all a deposit, and he thinks
the amount found would readily ac
cumulate in the time which has
elapsed since Kidd was captured.
Mud to the amount of Go.OOO cubic
yards has been removed.

The Arizona Mexican Mill is work
ing steadily and turning out bullion
regularly from the rich ore which is
yielded so plentifully by the Mack
Morris mine.
The Centennial Silver Mining Com
pany last week shipped four bars of
bullion, valued at $4900. It will do
much better this week, The Centen
nial is proving a bonanza sure enough.
The Isabella Mill is running right
along day and night on Centennial
ore, which, since they commenced to
roast, yields handsome returns 111 bul
lion, another five liars having been
shipped this week.
We paid another visit to the Irene
mine, a few days ago, and found that
the tunnel had been run ten feet be
yond lhe southeasterly side of the big
ledge, which measures from wall to
wall 55 feet, all of this being ore, with
a distinct strea'k of good milling ore
iu the center, which is from 7 to 9
feet wide.
We learn from Mr. II. B. Snyder
that arrangements have been com
pleted for the erection of a smelter
on the copper claims in which he is
interested on Mineral Creek. Work
has already begun. The value of
these claims is evident by a recent
shipment of ore to San Francisco,
which yielded 43 per cent, copper
and some silver. There is plenty of
wooa ana water in me viciuiiy.
Mr. John Reese, from Pinto Creek,
a few days since showed us a small
sack of dccomiKwcd rock from the
Rowan mine, which contains a liberal
sprinkling of free gold. The ore was
taken six feet from the surface, and
has a strata three feet wide. On an
other part of the ground, not far dis
tant, a shaft 30 feet has been sunk.
from which ore was taken some time
ago and worked at the Isabella mill,
yielding $97 per ton iu silver. This
is the same claim on which Messrs 3
Hayes and Buckingham found the
rich gold ore some two years ago. It
assayed over $42,000 per ton, and the
present strike yielded seven ounces of
gold irom forty jioiitids of ore, being
at the rate of fS600 per ton.
Prescott Miner cites the faet
that Albuquerque, A ew Mexico, was

Complaints begin to come iu from

of a custom that has lately giown
up among mining Superintendents of
compelling married men to board, and
in several instances, sleep at the com
panies boarding houses. A mining
Superintendent who discharges a
miner for living with his wile and
children is very foolish. Because, if
not a fool, he should know that a
miner who would willingly board
uway from his home and little ones
and partake of the Chinese-cooked
slops of the average "companv" board
ing house, is not worth the powder re
quired to blow him into eternity.
knowing this, and still insisting on
drumming up trade far the companies'
ooarumg house, he must have a necu-
niary interest in the proceeds. There
is no other way to look at this thing.
lhcrc are times when mining com
panies find it necessary to build board
ing and sleeping houi-cs for their men.
But iu all such cases there is no
other accommodation to be had and
the mine owners supply the men with
food and lodeine close to their work.
The miners pay well for their accom
modation, and are therefore under no
obligations whatsoever. But a miner
saves a lew dollars and brings his
family from the East or from across
the ocean; he builds himself :i little
house close to the mine and is hannv
in the thought that when his day's
work is over he can sit at his own
fireside, surrounded by tho little ones,
from whom he has been so long separ
ated. His wife prepares the sunper,
cooking only the dishes he likes best.
After supper, his nine is lighted and
his children at his knee, he forgets
how hard and steadily he had to swing

day long, in the happiness his well
earned money has brought to those

Rockland Courier.
A Rockland young man, until quite
recently, was courtinj; a tut g;rl at the
iSorth end. and haii prugrcsscd very
favorably Avilh hi? uit. One evening
last week he dressed up in his best
clothes, carefully combed his hair and
started out to make his tri-weekly
visit to his fair one, who was waiting
in the parlor window with fond affec
tion in her heart and a cold in her
head, superinduced by the fluctuating
weather, this was, as you might
say, a prologue to the tragedy. It
appears, moreover, that the fat girl's
father -who is Avorth many thousand
dollars in good, sensible bonds, and
as a consequence, is an object of the
vounjr man's tender regard had for
several nights previous been the vie
tim of some unknown miscreant who
had raided on his hen-pen with dis
astrous effect. Sick of such foolish
ness, he hsd prepared a ghastly retrib
ution for the fowl villains, and to this
end had filled a big garden syringe
with about a gallon of ancient beef
trice, seasoned .with garlic, and flav
ored with asaafcptitla, and was lying
in am bush behind a dox, where he
could sweep ever- approach to the
hennery. Tho 'C-ung man, who is
nretty well acnuained with the whole
family, tuoiigni newouiu surprise his
girl by entering the house by the back
way. mis is ue situation:
:g :
: b c tl :
: f :
if s:
a Is the henuorv; b is is the -old man
and c the syringe; d the young man
lightly turning to thoughts of love as
well as the corner of the fence; and f
is the fat girl sitting by the piano aud
singing " f ather, dear rather, come
hdme ; gggg is the gathering darkness ;
the dots in the surrounding border
may easily be construed as the scat
tered contents of the syringe after the
explosion, and the asterisks in the cor
ners illustrate the starry heaven.
(.tally up the back yard comes the
young man. Silently m ambiuh the
Id man lies. Chcenlv the fat girl
warbles. Quiet and awful is the syr-
uge. Iu the uncertain light of early
evening the old man sees a figure
tealthily drawing ucar his guarded
peu. the syringe sounds its dreadful
wh-s-e-h-p, aud its deadly con
tents fly through the air like a wild
ud mad avenger. A yell that tore
the azure robe of the night fairly
knocked the fat girl off the piann.stool
and curdled the old man's blood fol
lowed the discharge, and when the
neighbors - rushed in, under the im
pression that the Blaine boom had
burst right in the neighborhood, they ;
found the young man madly nawine i
xrounu on me grounu, screaming out
awful Mexican words terrible to hear.
while the old man hovered over the
scene with the syringe in his hands,
looking like an animated figure es
caped from an alleeory. Svinoathiz-
ing arms bore the young man into the
house, alter their owners had stopped
iiieir nosiiiis wiin cotton, and it re
quired the combined eilorts of the fat
girl and eight friends to bring him to.
anu u was some nonrs ueiore he was
able to fairly inquire if the meteor bit
siiytxxiy else when it struck. That
night, beneath the darksome shades of
a cypress tree, whose thick branches
tbe struggling moonbeams yainly
strove to pierce, an old man's tottering
lorni restea upon a spade and silently
viewed a new-made crave, lie bad
just burled the syringe.
