CREEK FULL OF WEALTH
Enough Gold Hidden There, He
Says, to Make Twenty
Men Rich.
MINING FEVER IS SPREADING.
Tbree Canvas-Trppcd Wrgons Yesler
day Took Passage for Hurri
cane Gnch.
There is a mine set beneath the quiet
exterior of pretty Bausal.to, a mine of
bona fiae gold. It is soon to be tired, and
unless the enthusiasm of Sergeant Jack
"House of th^ Bay- Window" Residence of Sergeant Jack Hayes, Who Has Discovered Gold in the
Gulch Just to the Left of the Tank.
Hayes of the Harbor Police goes for !
naught never again will that little
Englishy town be accused of passiveness
ami of drowsiness beyond 'lie awakening
ot the most energetic mind.
Serceant Hayes, as has already been re
lated, found sold in the bed of the creek
running at the rear of his residence in
Hurricane Gulch. He not only saw gold
and obtained by skillful cradling a nugget
or two, put he saw what is still better — in
dications that a vast amount of the pre
cious metal lies hidden under the gravel
of the creek.
Sergeant Hayes does not intend to let
tnis discovery remain undeveloped. He
already has mapped out a scheme to form
a mining company, the members of which
own property along the banks of the
stream.
"I uo not want to be a hog, and
I am willing to give my neighbors a
chance. v said he emphatically yesterday,
the tire of positive assurance and enthusi
asm shining in iiih eves. "I am con
vinced ihat enough gold lies in that creek
to make every resident in Hurricane
Gulc!; comfortable for the remainder of
tneir days.
"There are about twenty people living
along the creek, and I propose to otart a
company to develop the wealth of this
mine 1 have found. The creek from where
it leaves the wall of the hill to the bay is
about 1000 yards in length. I was told to
day by an old resident of Sausalito that j
some twelve years ago a great deal of gold I
was taken from the hill just above, but for |
some reason or other the enterprise fell
through and the thing was abandoned.
"I know that I am the first man who i
has proepected on this creek. I believe
that for hii'.K'redsof years the water which ',
flows with terriric force off the hill in the i
rainy seasons has washed quartz into this :
creek until it ha? been filled to its present i
level. I have mined a great deal around ;
this State, and t know someth ing of where j
gold may be expected to be found. I am j
firmly convinced that cold lies here in i
almost Inexhaustible quantities.
"Tnis is not a quartz mine where expen
sive machinery is required, but a placer '
mine of the most approved pattern. Only J
a few picks and shovels and cradles are :
necessary to get the yellow metal.
"If lean form a company of my neighbors,
each man putting up so much, and whe'il
the mine has been thoroughly worked each
man taking nis dividend, minun the ex
pense, which I do not believe will aggre
gate more than $2500, I tell you, sir, each
man of that twenty will not be obliged j
to work any more far a living.
"I mean business, and I snail endeavor
to prove this to my neighbors. Ido not
think that I shall encouiaer any difficulty
in starting this tbinir.
"Miller, now since the story of the gold
find has been published, is not inclined to
sell me the triangular-shaped lotintde
gulch adjoining mine. But I shall see
Mr. Miller to-night and make a fair propo
sition to him. 1 was the first to discover
gold on Ihe property, therefore I believe
1 have a miner's lien on it In Leadviile
a man discovered gold in the middle of
the street, in the best loca'ion in the city,
yet none of the landholders in the vicinity
were able to get the land away from him,
and the mine is being worked to this day.
"Sunday I will fuily investigate whether
my belief is well founded or not, and after
that I shall be better preparei to formu
late plans for a stock company. No, as I
said oefore, I have no desire whatever to
take everything. 1 want my neighbors to
enjoy v little, too."
Sergeant Hayes lives in one of the most
charm ine retreats in Sausalito. The house
he lives in is famous thereabouts for being
'The nouse of tlie bay-windows." It was
originally owned by a man named Gri:*
wold, a carpenter, who, being somewhat
reduced in circumstances, yet pOMesftog
withal an esthetic eye, first erected on his
plat of ground a high two-story bay-win
dow house.
This, of course, aroused the curiosity of
his neighbors, and when foreign ships
came into the harbor some one versed in
the lore of th'? villa would point out t is
singular, tower-like structure, saying, j
"There is the house of the bay-windows." ■
As time went dv Griswold added little ]
by little to this houseless ornament until
finally the cosy residence now- owned by
tue sergeant, but still retaining its early
rarue, nestled itself amid the verdure of
Sausalito':» hills.
The gold fever first taken by Sergeant
Hayes in his own home has spread wiih
wonderful rapidity. Yesterday morning,
on an early boat to Sausalito, three men
on horseback, having at their saddles
picks, pans ond blankets, took passage, 1
according to Sergeant Mahoney, for Hur
ricane Gulch to stake out claims there, and
later in the afternoon three of the regula
tion canvas-topped wacons that years ago
trareroed the plains drawn toward that
loadstone, Piks's Peak, were carried across
on the Sausalito, destined for the newly
discovered gold nelds in the gulch.

MRS, CRAVEN CONSENTS,
She Allows the Fair Executors
to Collect Disputed Prop
erty Rents.
Stipulation Signed by the Various
Attorneys Engaged in the
Noted Case.
The attorneys for Nettie R. Craven yes
terday agreed to allow the special admin
istrators of the Fair estate to continue col
lecting the rents from the tenants of the
Pine and Sansome streets and other prop
erty of the late James G. Fair for which
Mrs. Craven filed the pencil deeds some
time ago.
Late Friday evening an application for
a receiver for the property, pending the
decision of the suit to quiet title, was filed.
The matter came up before Judge 81ack
yesterday. The various attorneys, after a
consultation, agreed on the following
stipulation :
It is hereby stipulated by and between the
undersigned, Piprson <fc Mitchell ana <;. \V.
McEnorney, attorneys tor the plaintiffs! named,
and Delimit it- SMortridge, as attorneys for de
fendants, Netti<- It. Craven find Marc Leving
ston. that during the pendency of this action
Hn'l until judgment shall have b?en revemd
in said Superior Const, the plaintiffs may and
shall, h» special administrators of. the estate of
James G. Fair, deceased, continue to collect
the rent of the property in controversy in this
notion, provided that if said defendants, or
either oi them, shall obtain judgment against
said plaintiffs in said action, said plaintiffs
shall account to said defendants or defendant
in their oflicial capacity as such special admin
istrators for the ;-ents thus collected siuce the
commencement of this action, and provided
further that the right of eaid plaintiffs to make
slid collections is vested in laid plaintiff? In
their official capacity only and shall expire
whenever Their official capacity as such special
administrators shall cease.
According to this agreement the special
administrators will collect ?nd hold the
disputed rents subject to the decision of
the court until the case is decided. This
course was necessary because thf> tenants
refused to pay any rent at all until it was
settled who could legally collect it.
After the signing of the stipulation At
torney Delmas announced that he would
have the ejectment suits against the ien-'
ants and heirs dismissed. The arrange
ment will also do away with the suiti of
the tenants asking that they may pay the
rent to the court.
Notary J. J. Cooney, wno was ordered
to appear and sign his deposition acknowl
edging the pencil deads at 10 o'clock yes
terday morning, failed to appear and an
attachment was issued. The deputy failed
to serve it, and up to the time tie court ad
journed Mr. Cooney had not been found.
It was arranged that should the paper be
served during the evening Cooney would
go to Judge Slack's house and sign the
deposition.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 12, 1896.
CONVICTS' FARE
UNFIT TO EAT.
They Complain of Bad Food
at San Quentin
Prison.
THE PORK WAS RANCID.
Now They Will Have Fruit
Regularly acd Sound
Diet Daily.
DIRECTORS WERE SURPRISED.
Financial Statement at the Close of
the Prison's Forty-Sev
enth Year.
The State Prison Commissioners, in ses
sion at San Quentin Prison yesterday,
heard a complaint from the convicts about
the food served and the method of cook
mg. About ten prisoners representing a
dissatisfied elemei:t appeared in the board
room with a formal protest, and the result
; is there will be a change for the better in
| the food supply of Sin Quentin Prison.
' Fruits and mush will be served regularly
> as a medicinal measure and a strict watch
I will be kept on the kitchen.
The complaint was in substance that the
I potatoes were sosrgy and waterlogged, the
, bread usually several days old, bfans un
i ! palatable, poorly cooiced and served
I twenty times a week; pork rancid and
I never supplied in sufficient quantities; tea
! so bad that nine out of every teu tins
j were untouched ; steaks provided every
' morning were cut thin, fried hard and
served cold. A request was made for a
change and closer inspection of the culi
nary department generally.
When the complaint was read Director
Neff asked:
"How often do you get fruit?'
"Don't get itat all," exclaimed the group
of prisoners in unison.
"At no time?"
"No, sir, except raisins in the pudding
twice a week."
"You complain about beans?" remarked
Neff.
"They would rattle in the pan they are
\ so hard."
One of the prisoners stepped out in front
| and offered a full explanation of bow he
! and his companions happened to be before
I the board. "Captain Edgar," said he,
! "forced us ud here. We didn't want to
' come before the board. Captain Edgar
j came to me and said, 'I understand there
I is going to be a riot in the jute mill; you
boys intend to strike over the food.' I told
him 1 knew nothing about it. 'Well,' he
replied, 'you and any of the dissatis
fied boys tase your complaint to the board
! and see the warden about it. The papers
will got hold of it and then there will be
an investigation.'
"My statement is, gentlemen, I don't
want to carry the onus, but if cther3 do
there are many of us who must protect
ourselves."
Director Neff remarked that what the
convicts stated about the kitchen was true,
i but the board could make no change, at
| least for some time to come, owing to the
) lack of funds,
••How about the pork In tne beans?" he
asked.
"There is no meat in the beans," replied
a convict.
"The meat is always boiled," added an
i other prisoner. "They have good ovens
and might roast it sometime*. But It Is
boiled often a day ahead and not fit to eat.
! Itsmelleand makes us sick. The coiivicts
i are for peace; they're afraid to kick, as
; there would be an aftermath."
Warden Hale assured the convicts there
would be no "aftermath," but he was glad
to bear them speak. They knew his senti
ments, and the board would treat them
humanely. He stated that the bread
served the prisoners was fresh every day,
I but one of the convicts insisted it was fre
quently seven days old. Captain Sbappe
lere, the steward, admitted that the bread
was often thirty-six hours; o'd when
served. A prisoner in the bakery stated it
was commonly four days old. The ques
tion of rescinding a rule prohibiting fruit
to be presented to convicts was discussed,
but the board would make no change, as
opium had been smuggled into the prison
in fruit
A convict with a delicate' stomach pro
tested that the prison doctor had said
there was no hope of curing prisoners with
stomach troubles unless tiie regimen of
diet was changed. He aiso said that large
quantities of food were wasted. The pork
in particular was bad.
Captain Shappele re was called by a direc
tor and asked if this were true.
"We have had a good deal of bad pork
sir," was his answer.
"It should not have occurred a second
time," said Director Hayes rather angrily.
"Bad pork should bo sent back every
time."
"I am going to coma here twice a week
soon," remarked Chairman Wilkena, "and
, I shall look into this matter, and if I find
any bad food or poor cooking I won't per
mit it."
Director de Pue added: "If the prison
ers wish fruit the State should furnish it.
It is cheap and nould be beneficial io the
health ot the prisoners."
The board did not vote on the com
plaint, but decided that a change should
be made.
Warden Hale reported that 2.300,000
jule bags had been sold, and 2,918,000. now
on hand, would be disposed of within the
next six weeks. Orders were romine in
daily for large quantities at $4 20 a hun
dred bags.
The t.-a.ert accountant of the board sub
mitteo his report on the accounts of San
Quentin tor the quarter ending June 30,
which c osed the forty-seventh tiscal year
of the prison. He had found all accounts
and vouchers absolutely correct, and was
complimentary in his comments on them.
The ca.sh account was: Cash in vault, j
$0808 77: in California state Bank at Sac- |
ramento, $24,930 78; total on hand, $30,- I
739 35. Prisoners' cash in vault, $370 13; j
in bank, $2820; total, $3190 13.
The funds at the opening of the forty- |
eignth tiscal year were: C3sh on hand and
in vault, $30,730 55; general appropriation
fund, $3254 14; ca^h in State Prison fund,
$16,088 90; in iute revolving fuud, $5832 38;

bills, $10,969 73; eales, $6805 01; total,
$17,775 64; net assets, $37,138 33.
AI. Gallagher was appointed guard and •
Cnrry W. Tjader druggist.
Walter Ary, a United States prisoner '
from San Francisco, objected to nard work
on the ground that his sentence from
Judge Morrow said nothing about labor. ]
The board said he should work anyhow.
Old Mary Yon, who shot a man named
Bishop in 1887 as he was leaving San Fran- \
Cisco for Australia, wanted a set of teeth.
Her teeth had decayed in prison and were
extracted, so that she can no longer mas
ticate solid food. Her beauty cuts but lit
tle of a figure, as she is destined to remain
within the prison walls for life.
Quon Hee, a Chinese from Butte, serv
ing a twenty-five years' sentence for mur
der, applied to have his credits restored.
As ne has become a wreck from opium
smoking and eating he will be discharged
on the 19th inst. and deported to China.
George H. Williams, alias Lyons, was
caught yesterday making up opium in
small packages for peddling among his
fellow-prisoners. He pleaded guilty and
was deprived of his credits; besides he
will have to carry tne ball and chain for
some time as an example to opium ped
dlers.
Joseph Blackruan, a San Francisco pris
oner, lost three months' credits for stab
bing another convict.
NEW TOLAND WILL CONTEST.
Amended Opposition to the Probate of
an Important Document.
A new opposition to the probate of the
will of Mary B. Toland has been filed on
behalf of William Gridley Toland, grand
son of the deceased, by his attorneys, Del
mas & Shortridge.
The opposition recites that the petitioner
is informed and beiieves that the docu
ment offered for probate was not sub
scribed by Mary B. Toland, or by any other
person in the presence or by the direction
of Mary B. Toland; that the alleged sub
scription of the deceased was not made In
the presence of George K. Hooper or any
one else, and was not acKnowledged by bftr
to the aliened sub-xribing wituers thereto:
that at the time of the alleged subscribing
of the document Mary B. Totand aid not
declare it to be her will, And that it was
Has Been the Practice of Medicine
and Surgery in San Francisco
by Dr. Sweany.
THE STORY OF HIS SUCCESS.
The Great Specialist Has Made Life Anew to Thousands and Tens
of Thousands who Had Been Given Up by Other Physi
cians — Mis Specialties and Mode of Treatment.
By his skill and as a specialist Dr.
Bweany ban completely revolutionized the
practice of medicine and surgery in San
Francisco.
Standing to-day, as he does, far in ad
vance of any specialist or medical institu
tion in the country, his wonderful success
and skill are the outerrowth of several con
ditions by which alone what he has done
iiNian /rancisco could be accomplished.
First, the qualifications with which na
ture has endowed him, as evidenced by
his keen perception into the mysteries of
all diseases with which those who apply
to him are afflicted. He is thus enabled
to clearly distinguish the exact character
of the complaint and to conceive the
proper and most effective kind of treat
ment for its entire cure.
Second, he is wholly devoted to his pro
fession, having no other desire for achieve
ment than to make still grander the com
plete success which be has thus far at
tained. His great stability of character,
his unceasing study and untiring energy
to accomplish that which be sets out to
do, together with many more great and
noble qualities, which one soon recognizes
in him, all serve to advance him in his
most worthy ambition.
Third, his great advantages of study and
experience in the leading and best col
leges and hospitals In the land, where he
served in nil departments, and where his
great natural ability was acknowledged in
all branches as being superior to his quite
worthy but less successful associates, have
all helped to assist him in his work.
la it any wonder that, with all these ad
rantage* in his favor, natural ability,
stndv. experience and a mind devoted to
his profession Dr. Sweany should have
achieved his enviable reputation for curing
distressing and obstinate cases which have
been given up as incurable?
not and is not her last will, and was not
wholly or at all written or dated or signed
by the ha 'd of Mary B. Toland; that long
before and at. the time of the alleged sign
ing of the document offered for probate
Mary B. Tola d was not of : sound or dis
posing mint*, but was insane and wholly
incompetent- to make any will or t3sta
ment.\'^Sg ' >"."
Therefore a trial by jury of the issues of
facts so raised is demanded, and it is
prayed that the will offered for probate be
denied probate and declared not the last
will and testament of Mary B. Toland.
If the contest .be • successiul William
Gridley Toland will be entitled to a half
of bis grandmother's estate, the other Half
going to Hugo H. Toland.

i As yet no case of failure can be discov-
e red against him, and such ability and
, skill to combat and conquer all diseases of
I men and women have never before been
, demonstrated.
The Doctor's services are of great value,
and if any one thine be worth more than
anything else It is certainly the services ol
a competent and successful physician and
specialist who never loses sieht of a single
: case until a perfect and permanent cure is
effected. Those who are afflicted should
not waste time, money and health dosing
with cheap treatments, cheap m dicines
and nostrums.
The Doctor gives his services free of
' charge to the poor and worthy who call
at his office every Friday afternoon, and
many expressions of gratitude and praise
go out daily from the poor as well as from
those who have^aid him well for valuable
i and successful services rendered. As a
man Dr. Sweany is truly upright, consci
entious and charitable, and as a physician
he is thoroughly competent, earnest and
successful, and any and all persons who
may be suffering from any human ailment
whatever will do themselves a great injus
tice if they do not call upon him, even if
their troubles have resisted all other ef
forts to cure. He treats nervous debility
of every kind, name and nature far in
advance of any other institution in this
country.
He also treats private and chronic dis
eases; blood and skin diseases; female
complaints; kidney, bladder, liver, lung,
throat, stomach and heart diseases: piles,
rupture, hydrocele, varicocele and kindred
troubles without pain or detention from
| business. He addresses himself in par*
j ticular to young and middle-aged men
i who are Buffering from the awful effects of
I early indiscretions, and are thereby un-
I fitted for Rtudy, business or the proper
I enjoyment of either marrird or single life*
In this distressed condition are many
thousands who, although originally strong
in body and bright, in uiind, have permit
ted their ailment to run on and on, until
finally, with physical and mental powers
exhausted, death claimed them. The most
obstinate cases of this character the doctor
treats with unfailing success. All he wants
is a fair trial to convince the most skepti
cal. He uses no mercury or other Injuri
ous drugs, and undertakes no incurable
cases. The great specialist can be con
sulted ot his office any day from 9 to 12
a. m. or from 2 to sor 7 to 8 p. m., except
