IT DIDN`T SUIT THEM.
Imp. Grand Lady Beaten by
the Starter's Flag.
FUMED A CLOSE THIRD.
With an Equal Break the Imported
Mare Was a Cinch.
BOOZE RAN AWAY FROM A BAD LOT.
Motor Galloped in Front of His Field All
the Way, Winning in Very
Fast Time.
Great was the wrath of the talent after
the last race. The 8 to 5 favorite, Imp.
Grand Lady, off away back in the bunch
next the rail as the Hag ft 11, had wended
her way through the big field and finished
a bang-up third, and with any kind of an
eqnafbreak would have landed the money
easily. On January 23 this same mare
went to tho post favorite, and the flag fell
with her off last in a field of eleven, accord
ing to the form book. Running through
the field she was beaten an eyelash at the
wire, although the majority of racegoers
thought she had won. She had shown
such high class that she was considered a
"lay-down" in the race yesterday.
Starters, as a rule, receive higher
salaries for the labor performed than men
in any other profession or trade. They are
paid such salaries because they are sup
posed to possess nigh talent in their
peculiar line. No doubt at times their
patience is highly tried by unruly boys at
the post, but that is what they are so well
paid for, and the public expect to see good
work performed. Ferguson can make
• starts than that one yesterday.
Racegoers have seen him do it. and when
the flag falls to a start like that in the
last race they kicked, and they had a right
to kick.
Three favorites covered themselves with
giory by finishing first, although two of
them, Tim Murphy and Booze, were at
odds on.
A big plunge was made on White and
Clark'6 Commission to win the third race,
the geiding being backed down from 10 to
1 to threes, but he finished in third place.
Misty Mom showed a little of her old
time sviced in the opening race, winning
handily from a bad lot. The rare was over
the short six-furlong course, and Queen of
Scots and St. Jacob divided honors for
favoritism at the close of the betting.
Misty Morn opened at sixes and was backed
down to 7 to 2.
To a fairly even break Misty Morn soon
showed in front, followed by St. Jacob, and
they ran in front all the way. Misty Morn
won handily by a neck, but Queen of Scots
came fast at the end and beat St. Jacob a
'•whisker" for the place.
The roan sprinter, Tim Murphy, made
his reappearance in the second race, a five
furlong selling affair, and struck a very
soft spot, so soft that t to 3 was his open
ins price. George Rose's good colt Boreas
and Amo 'were the best ones pitted against
him. The fast "Montana sprinter, Lark,
was al?o a starter in the race.
As all those who went over the Montana
circuit predicted, Lark sailed out in front
soon after the flag fell and led Tim a
merry chase. Ho began backing up a six
teenth from the wire and didn"t stop until
three had passed him. Tim Murphy won
easily, and in a drive Bergen landed
Boreas a head in front of Arno for third
place.
The third race was the swell betting one
of the day. It wa? over the short six-fur
long course and had ten starters. Mqtor
opened at 8 to 5, receded to threes and w£nt
to the rest 11 to 5. The plunge of the race
was made on White and Clark's Commis
sion, who from 10 to 1 was backed down to
3 and 4 to 1. Mclanita, Joe Cotton and
Bernardo were all well supported.
Motor away third sunn took the lead and
running in front all the way like a thief
with a policeman after him, won by five
lengths. Chorn on Commission second
entering the stretch put up a weak finish,
but was beaten out for the place by Joe
Cotton a head, cleverly ridden by Flvhn.
The light welter-weight race'at a mile
E roved a cakewalk for the Ito 4 favorite,
ooze. All sorts of prices were laid against
the other starters to win. Rogation and
Olivia were the favorites for second place.
Booze led from the fall of the (lag and
won galloping by five lengths. Olivia beat
Rogation three lengths for the place.
The hand-ome Australian bred filly Grand
Lady was the popular choice for "the last
race, going to the post 8 to 5, carrying a
ton of money. It was a short six-furlong
race and the field was a iarge one. thirteen
starters going to the post. The odds
against Modesto were rather close at the
opening, but he finally went up to 8 and 10
to 1. The Duchess of Mil pitas received
considerable support, as did Arundel and
Ked Will. The others were a bad lot and
all went back in the betting.
Can on Arundel got a running start, as
happens very often, and showed in front to
a bad start, the favorite back among the
rabble. At the half Arundel was leading
a length, Ked Will second, the same dis
tance in front of Modesto. The order was
unchanged into the stretch, Grand Lady,
who had run through the field, showing
prominently near the leaders. In a drive
down the stretch, Griffin on Modesto beat
Arundel out a head, and Grand Lady,
who made up an acre of ground, was a
close third.

Track Notes.
Can rode three winners yesterday and
was second on Arundel.
Guadaloupe showed a tendency to run
on three legs while at the post in the fourth
race.
Melanit was last away in her run, spoil
ing her chance for the money.
Had Marietta won Ed Purser would have
had all the money in the betting ring.
A match race, to take place Saturday, at
five furlongs, was yesterday consummated'
betwee Henry Schwartz's gelding, Monita,
and the Manhattan stable's Three Forks
for $1000 a side.
George Miller, one of the cleverest riders
in America, intends sailing for Australia
the first week in April. George will en
deavor to show the Antipodeans what sort
of riders we possess on this side of the
ocean.
Griffin rode a splendid Ace on Modesto,
fairly oiitfinishing Carr, on Arundel.
Lark is accounted one of the fastest

BERKELEY VS. STANFORD.
Intercollegiate Contests Between the
Students.
The California Yacht Club Will Have a
Sight Off at the Tivoii.
Field Trials.
Captain Brown of the Stanford Univer
sity athletes has announced the following
schedule of dates and events in which
Stanford is pitted against the representa
tives of the university of Berkeley: April
G, tennis at Berkeley; April 13, baseball
and tennis in San Francisco; April 20, field
day and debate in the evening; April 24,
baseball at Berkeley; April 27, baseball
and tennis at Palo Alto. The Carnot medal
debating contest will undoubtedly occur
on April 5 at the Stanford University.
J. McKnight, secretary of the Young
Men's Christian Association Cycling Club
of this city, states that the report that his
club intends to withdraw from the asso
ciated clubs had no foundation of fact.
"I have just received a letter stating that
our application made on Saturday last had
been received and that the club was elected
a member of the associated clubs," said
Mr. McKnight, "but so far as Sunday
racing is concerned we may draw the line
there."
The following officers have been elected
by the cycle annex of the Oakland High
School: Captain, diaries Gooch ; first lieu
tenant, Charles Colby ; second lieutenant,
I Ed Hume; color-bearer, James Mahoney:
j delegates to confer with other schools and
work for the information of the league,
Charles Gooch, Walter Rode, Al Kitchen
and James Mahoney.
The Crescent Club of Berkeley will not
! have a building erected by Mr. 'Lancaster,
;as was previously announced. When it
came down to the signing of the bonds
Mr. Lancaster manifested a desire to im
: pose certain conditions on the club's occu
; pancy of the building which the members
| believed to be intolerant and unjust, and
they quickly brought negotiations to an
abrupt termination. Dr. Anthony, one of
the club's directors, came to the rescue by
offering to furnish money sufficient to
build a first-class clubhouse, which will be
paid for in monthly installments. Pend
ing the completion of the new athletic
quarters, the club will move into the gym
nasium on Bancroft way, formerly occu
pied by the Pacific Athletic Club.
The enterprising young men of North
Oakland have organized a club, which
will be known as the Oakland Athletic
Club. At a meeting held last evening the
following members were elected as officers:
j Joseph Doyle, president: Robert Neumann,
j vice-president; Osmond Van Every, sec-
I retary, and Clarence Sutherland, treasurer.
The present membership is sixtj'-five.
The Acme Athletic Club is making ex
tensive preparations for its annual exhibi
tion, which will occur on the 11th inst.
The entrance- list for the handball tourna
ment will close on the 14th inst. The Acme
Wheelmen will have a road race on Sun
day.
On the evening of the 20th inst. the Cali
fornia Yacht Club will give one of its
pleasant entertainments at the Tivoli
Opera-house. As there is an Indebtedness
on the clubhouse the members are in hopes
that the proceeds of the entertainment will
clear it.
The Pacific Coast Field-trial Club will
hold its twelfth annual trials at Salinas
commencing on Monday next. The derby
stakes will be run first, the all-aged second
and the amateur stake last. There are
twenty-one entries in the derby, which
should insure* some excellent sport. The
amateur stake, open only to dogs that
have not been handled 'by professional
trainers within six mouths, promises
much amusement. The president of the
club is J. G. $dwards.
Reports from Point Reyes are to the ef
fect that fishing is very poor. John But
ler, who was there yesterday, left this
morning for Salmon Creek with" John Leru
mar and Otto Snooser. The anglers ex
pect to return on Monday with at least
half a ton of steelheads.
The Citizen of the World.
Divine services will commence at the
Temple Emanu-El at 7:45 o'clock this
evening. Dr. Voorsanger will lecture on
"The Jew as a Citizen of the World."
THE MORNING CALL, SAN FRANCISCO, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1895.
IN THE COAST MINES.
The Annual Assessment Work
on Claims.
WHAT CYANIDE HAS DOSE.
A Decision for the Miners of West
Point.
EXTRACTING GOLD FROM BASE ORES.
Risks and Hardships in Store for Pros
pectors Who Intend to Go
to Alaska.
Two years ago Congress passed an act
suspending part of section 2324 of the Re
vised Statutes of the United States relating
to the annual assessment work required on
claims. This act relieved the miners from
doing the usual assessment work required
by law for the year 1893. Congress again
suspended the same portion of the law for
1894, requiring only that each claim-owner
should hie with the County Clerk or Dis
trict Keeorder a "notice of good faith."
By tiling this notice that he intended in
good faith to hold and work his claim
the owner was freed from the necessity of
doing the $100 worth of work usually re
quired to hold title to the claim.
The object of this law was to help the
silver miners in the various States and
Territories, many of whom were unable to
carry on work owing to the very low price
of silver. It applied, however, to all
classes of miners. For the silver miners
this cessation of assessment work was a
very good thing, but it is very doubtful
if it served any good purpose when it ap
plied to the gold mines of this or other
States. Of course many miners who are
holding claims only to sell were pleased
with the action of Congress, because they
could simply sit still and not touch their
claims, whereas before they had to do $100
worth of work to keep possession. While
it may be of temporary convenience to an
individual to permit "men to hold a mine
without assessment work, it is a bad thing
for a mining region. Men who take up
claims should be compelled tQ work them
or drop them entirely so others may do so.
All successful mining countries require
some sort of annual expenditure. It is
only by work that .i "prospect" is devel
oped into a mine. Where no expenditure
is required, claims lie idle for years await
ing a purchaser, where there is really
nothing for a purchaser to see.
This is what the Mariposa Gazette lias to
say on the subject: There are men in this
country who are "holding down" mining
claimsin the hope of making a stake by the
sale of their property. Yet some of these
same men are doing little if anything to
show that their claims are worth purchas
ing. The law remitting assessment work
on mining claims has, in one way, been a
detriment to the mining industry, as those
who are shiftless or unable to develop their
holdings have thus kept others from doing
what they have failed to do. If one knows
that assessment work milts t be done, some
way will be found to do it, and even this
small amount of work might show it worth
while to do more. A claim will sell for
just what it shows and no more, and an
undeveloped mine has positively no value
in the market. Capitalists are not invest
ing in prospects, they will only buy cer
tainties. A location alone is not worth the
paper it is written upon. Any miner who
has reason to believe he has a good claim
and fails to work on it should get off the
earth, at least that portion of the earth. If
you have a good thing, prove it.
The Phn>nix (Ariz.) Gazette also takes
up this subject and says: What is needed
is simply a law compelling those who lo
cate mining claims to work them and de
velop their wealth or else forfeit their
rights to those who will do so. As it is
now a man may locate one claim — or half
a minin<* district, for that matter — and
withholdit from development all his life
by relocating it year after year,. Whole
mountain ranges are thus dotted with
squadrons of boundary monuments, si
lently warning off all comers and prevent
ing exploration, and, mayhap, the discov
ery of rich mines, for no one will waste
time prospecting a section where a location
may only lead to litigation.
Thus the country "remains unexplored,
and these speculators, in their short
sighted greed, not only defeattheir own ob
ject, but retard the development of the dis
trict.
Assessment work is the most important
stimulant of a mining district. The mis
chievous and pernicious laws allowing ex
emption from assessment work for the
years 1803 and 1894 were engineered
through Congress by a rich man for the
benefit of rich men, and were met by a
wail from every mining camp in the West.
They were the most serious setback that
the industry has ever received. Even the
demonetization of silver was less per
nicious in its effects. The least of the
evils engendered by these exemption laws
is the prevention of the disbursement of
over $200,000 among the poorer miners of
this Territory — an amount they *earn by
doing the required work for richer mine
owners and corporations, and which en
ables them to develop their own mines.
No legitimate miner over wished to evade
the assessment law. He does much more
than the required work upon his mine
every year.
The Cyanide Process.
The "cyanide process" for extracting
gold and silver from ores is based on the
fact that a diluted solution of potassium
cyanide dissolves these metals, forming,
respectively, auro-potassic cyanide and
argento-potassic cyanide, from many ores,
without dissolving to any material extent
the other components thereof. The pro-
cess consists of treating suitable ores, when
finely divided,. Avith a weak solution of
potassium cyanide, either by allowing the
solution to percolate through the ore or by
agitating a mixture of the ore and solution.
This part of the operation being com
pleted, the solution is separated from. the
solid material and the gold and. silver are
precipitated in metallic form. This pro
cess for the extraction of gold and silver is
comparatively old in its principle, but
modern in its technical application.
During the last four years it. has been
introduced into almost every gold field,
and upward of $14,000,000 in gold and sil
ver have been recovered by the process,
which demonstrates beyond doubt that it
is one of the most important additions to
the wet methods of gold and silver metal
lurgy. It is being tried in many places in
California. The State Mining Bureau of
California was among the first in the United
States to investigate the merits of its pro
cess, as set forth in a paper by Dr. W. D.
Johnson in the tenth report. The Mining
Bureau a few weeks since issued a bulletin
describing the practical application and
economical" results of the cyanide process,
which is distributed free to applicants.
The aim of the bulletin, which is written
by Dr. A. Scherdel, is to present the his
tory of the process and to describe the ores
for which it is adapted, together with their
preparation and manipulation during treat
ment. The economical features of the
cyanide process are also dwelt on at some
length. The text is illustrated by plans
ann diagrams. The process has found
wide application, but this is the tirst
exact account, of the methods employed in
all parts of the world.
In this connection the following from
the Bodie Miner is of interest :
The McArthur-Forrest people, through
their representative, Mr. Gow, have made
an offer to put up a cyanide plant in Bodie
for crushing and working low grade ore.
They require a guarantee of ,a certain
amount of rock. Should this plan mater
ialize there will be a great j increase of
activity in the Bodie mines, particularly of
the smaller ones. The .low grade rock,
even if it only paid expenses, will make it
profitable to prospect for better rock. But
there is good reason to believe it will do
much more than this, particularly when
the process has passed the experimental
stages.
With reference to this ' item it may
be stated that should the owners
of this patented process require a
guarantee of a certain amount of work
from the miners, the miners should also
require some sort of guarantee that they
can work it satisfactorily. The McArthur-
Forrest, or cyanide process, while success
ful on some ores, is not so on others, even
in the same camps. Possibly the people
they send from Denver are not always as
skillful as they should be, for the process
where scientifically applied serves its pur
pose well. In Bodie. however, the largest
mine, the Standard Consolidated, tried the
cyanide process for many months without
success until radical changes were made
by Superintendent Leggett liimself. The
mine now has extensive cyanide works
operating satisfactorily. When first tried,
however, as stated, the results obtained
were not at all what was expected. It is
time it should now have passed the experi
mental stage, in view of the satisfactory
work in South Africa, Australia and this
country. Yet there seems to be more or
dissatisfaction in some cases, probably
because of lack of sufficient knowledge of
details. . A metallurgist with knowledge of
chemistry is necessary to make the process
work smoothly and with profit. -■- '■'; v\y
Alaska No Place for Poor Prospectors.
A number of those sanguine individuals
who are preparing to spend their last dol
lar for steamship fare between Seattle and
Juneau, says the Seattle Press-Times, will
probably be brought to a realization of the
fact that all that glitters is not gold. The
exaggerated reports of the rich strikes
made on the Yukon River and the tre
mendous reduction in fares have excited the
hopes. of scores of wandering nomads who
are always willing to take a chance in a
new country.
Inasmucn as the trip one way consumes
the better part of five days many people
will undoubtedly take advantage of the
cheap rate simply to view the magnificent
scenery of the inland passage to Alaska
and with no intention of stopping in the
country. There will be another class,
however, who with barely enough money
to pay steerage fare and a night's lodging
on reaching Juneau will make the journey,
trusting to luck to strike something on
arriving in Alaska.
The latter class is doomed to not only
bitter disappointment but to actual hard
ship and suffering. Already there are
many more men in Juneau and on Doug
las Island, immediately opposite, than can
be given employment at the Treadwell,
Boston or Nowell mines, vacancies in any
of the three companies rarely occurring
among the white operatives. This is due
to the fact that all through Alaska, at both
mines and canneries, the "siwashes" — na
tive Indians— are employed to do the rough
and more laborious work, white men only
being employed when skill or technical
knowledge is necessary.
The Indians of Alaska are industrious
and possessed of wonderful endurance,
doing labor day in and year out, exposed
to the pouring rains of the country, which
no white man could or would attempt to
perform. For instance, the breaking of
ore in the Treadwell mine pit. Here over
ICO Indians are employed, reducing with
hand-hammers the masses of rocks blasted
from the ledge to sizes fit for the rock
breakers of the big mill to handle. All the
packing, freight-handling and longshore
work is also done by Indians, and a white
man going to Alaska with the expectation
of finding work of an arduous nature ia
almost certain of failure. ,
As for expecting to reach the diggings of
the Yukon River, after landing at Juneau,
without being prqperly supplied with an
outfit and money, fr,e project is impossible.
After landing at Juneau, the prospector
contemplating a trip into the interior must
spend at least $250 for provisions, or, not
doing that, must pay the prices charged
at the diggings, and as he must pay the
Commercial Company for the parking he
himself can do, the saving in outfitting at
Juneau is obvious. After the outfit is
bought, the prospector joins a party— a
totai of four men is desirable — and trans
portation is secured to Chilkat by
Indian canoe. After paying this ex
pense another immediately occurs
in the ascent of the Chilcoot River.
Reaching the head of the stream, the party
is obliged to engage packers to take their
grub and tools over the Chilkat divide to
the shores of I-ake Lebarce, the headwaters
of the Yukon River. Fordoing this packing
the Indians charge $10 per 106 pounds, and
there is no alternative but to pay them, the
Chilkats claiming sovereignty over the
trail and enforcing their alleged rights.
Reaching Lake Lebarge, lumber is whip
sawed and a bout built, with which the de
scent of the Yukon is commenced.
To attempt this trip without being pro
vided with funds wherewith to pay packers,
canoe men and onttitters would be almost
certain to result in the perishing of the
party so doing, and as for obtaining work
in Juneau or vicinity, there is no employ
ment to be had.
Decided to Be Mineral.
An important case, involving the min
eral or agricultural character of 160 acres
of land in the West Point mining district,
Calavcras County, in section 25, township
7 north, range 13 east, Mount Diablo
meridian, nas been decided by Thomas
Fraser, Register, and Charles P. Gardner,
Receiver of the United States Land Office.
The case is entitled William Larsen, T. T.
Porteus and others (some fifty-seven pro
testants), mineral contestants, vs. Jerome
T. Mathews, homestead claimant and
respondent.
'1 he decision is that the land is mineral
in character. The ease is of considerable
local importance to the inhabitants of the
vY est Point mining district. The land ad
joins the town of West Point and has been
used since the fifties for mining purposes
by various parties. Extensive mining
operations have in the past been carried
on thereon. On one claim, the Zarcerateo,
some $125,000 has been expended. The
land is seamed in many places by quartz
veins. *
All the claims seem to have paid down
to water level. It has been the
expense of putting in expensive pumping
machinery that has deterred the continu
ous working of these claims. The agri
cultural improvements of the respondent
do not exceed in value the sum of $300.
El Dorado County. .
El Dorado is one of the counties of the
State where the gold-mining revival is es
pecially marked and where several sales of
mining ground have lately taken place.
In that county there will be shortly one of
the largest quartzrnills in the State. The
2s ew Grand Victory mine, which had ori
ginally twenty stamps and then added
twenty, is now putting in 100 more stamps,
so the mill when fully completed will have
140 stamps. The bad state of the roads has
prevented hauling of timbers, etc., of late,
but very shortly the work will be resumed
on the mill. The mine has quite success
fully used the cyanide process for treating
its ores.
Another well-known mine in the county
is the Zantgraf, which has been under
bond for some time by G. E. Evans and B.
F. Hartley of Auburn. The Placer Argus
says that on January 2S these gentlemen
succeeded in consummating a sale of this
fine property to a company of Chicago
capitalists, who will at once proceed to put
in operation one of the finest mining plants
in the State. They will erect a twenty
stamp mill, which, "with the mine, will be
equipped with the most modern appli
ances, and the works and mine will be
lighted by electricity and supplied with
ample air comnressers for both power and
ventilation. The price paid^ for the prop
erty by the new company is $150,000, and
the mine has already been turned over to
its new owners. Messrs. Hartley and
Evans are energetic in their work of hand
ling such properties, and to them much
credit is due.
PROSPERITY CERTAIN.
Real Estate Conditions Point
That Way.
RENEWED CONFIDENCE FELT.
A Substantial Valuation to Be Made
in City Land.
EFFECT OF THE VALLEY RAILROAD.
Its Success Is Going to Be Far Reaching
and Faith in Stability of Real
Estate Assured.
If any real estate agent in San Francisco
were asked to-day* what he thinks of the
market and its possibilities in the near
future, he would answer promptly:
"We have touched the bottom and are
now on the upward gra<Je."
There appears to be rto doubt whatever
on this point, but there is a very con
vincing unanimity of opinion that San
Francisco, and with it California, will soon
experience the return of prosperity. Fi
nance and trade are slowly adjusting
themselves to new conditions under re
cuperative influences, and moving in sym
pathy with them real estate is gradually
gaining confidence as a security for capi
tal. But there are other and more potent
influences at work just now than the mere
improvement of securities, or financial re
adjustment, that have an important bear
ing on the values and stability of real
property.
The San Joaquin Valley Railroad hav
ing come to be regarded in the popular
mind as an assured success, new confidence
is felt in the State and city. So far as
realty interests in San Francisco are con
cerned this feeling of security that fore
shadows coming prosperity has already
had a most decided effect. More inquiry
after city real estate is reported from day
to day. The brokers' oftices are busier
than they.have been for a long time past.
People are beginning to investigate all
classes of properties for themselves with
an eye to investing capital which has been
lying in banks and safe deposits. Real
property in the city is attracting attention
from many who took no interest in it for
years. And above all confidence is coming
back to stay.
Such being the actual facts prices may
be expected to advance, how slowly or
quickly remains to be seen. • Movement of
properties must increase in volume, and
then improvements characteristic of the
times may be regarded as sure to follow.
After afl, real estate is no more than the
mercury in the tube to indicate commer
cial conditions, and when real estate is im
proving as at present and pointing toward
prosperity, the inference must be that the
entire community will shortly realize
something of old times in California.
The situation as viewed by Wendell
Easton presents a pleasing prospect. Said
he yesterday:
"Without doubt a general improvement
pervades the business community, and
there is evidently renewed confidence in
the immediate future which insures a sat
isfactory business for 18D.5.
u The general condition of the real estate
market was thoroughly tested by the pub
lic sale of the Johnson property on Tues
day of this week, which indicated that a
modification of values have taken place in
this city over prevailing prices of two and
three years ago. At the same time it is
also plainly demonstrated that there is a
large amount of capital ready to invest at
to-day's prices. Income property can be
sold at strong prices bused upon "an earn
ing capacity, and consequently a healthy
and substantial valuation is going to be
created in real estate in the city of San
Francisco during the year.
"The strong support which is given gen
erally to the San Joaquin Valley roaof in
dicates the trend of public opinion, and
when the elements are favorable large capi
tal can be concentrated in thiscommunitv,
when anything like a fair promise is held
out of return on the investment. The suc
cess of this new movement is going to be
far reaching, and a confidence in the sta
bility of the community has become re-es
tablished, which is being felt already in all
avenues of trade. It is hardly to' he ex
pected that the large fortunes are going to
he made in the early future that have been
made in the past, but expectations are
somewhat modified in this respect, and the
general requirements of the individual are
not going to be up to former standards. It
is also being found that $1 in cash has a
large percentage of increased purchasing
capacity, which is eoing to very materially
overcome the general shrinkage that has
taken place in values throughout the com
munity and State generally.
" The excellent promise of a good season
throughout the State is already producing
its results, and the country merchants and
agriculturists generally are looking for
ward to an exceedingly profitable year.
" The incentive at the present time is
the concentration of capital in legitimate
lines of investment and legitimate avenues
of trade, and the promise for fair returns
has not been more flattering in the past
five years than in the opening of the year
1895."
WORE STRAPS IN COURT.
The Nurse Shows How Yon Schmidt
Was Bound.
Testimony Which Goes to Prove That the
Patient Was Insane, but Not at
AH Times Violent.
For another day the case of Yon Schmidt
against the Home for Inebriates proceeded
before Judge Daingerfield. The defend
ant's side of the case was under way and
all the evidence was to show that Yon
Schmidt during the time of his incarcera
tion in the home was more or less danger
ously insane. Robert A. Davies, a nurse
at the institution, testified that the patient
was humanely treated, and that while he
had to be kept strapped to his bed the
straps were never so tight as not to allow
him a little freedom, at least with his
hands. He said Yon Schmidt continually
raved about religion.
Dr. McNutt, whom Colonel yon Schmidt
said he called to attend his son, testified
that Yon Schmidt was insane at the time
of his entrance to the home. Ed Law
rence, another nurse, testified to substan
tially the same thing. One significant
point was drawn from the witness under
the cross-examination of Mrs. Clara Foltz.
Lawrence admitted that a man named
Dyer, who lives at North Beach, had come
to him from the defense and asked him to
testify in favor of their side of the case.
Lawrence said he would tell the truth,
however, regardless of the side that called
him. Lawrence also told how Yon Schmidt
procured a spade in the garden and beat
down the door with it. Then he escaped,
but was caught by a policeman and taken
back again. The witness thought he had
been well treated and that he was as kindly
treated as his ailment would allow.
The most important testimony regarding
the direct charge of brutality which yon
Schmidt Lodged against the attendants ot
the home was given by Lawrence when, ;it
Mrs. Foltz's suggestion, he allowed him
self to be placed in the harness which was
daily placed upon the plaintiff. He ap
peared enveloped in straps and buckles
when he rihally stood before the jury ar
rayed in his confining bands, and there
appeared no douht that if they were drawn
tight any one within their grasp would be
absolutely helpless. ,
Dnrinr the afternoon Mrs. E. A. yon
Schmidt, wife of the plaintiff s brother
took the stand to tell how. when she called
at the home to see her brother-in-law, lie
did not know her upon one occasion, ana
upon another he did not know his wife and
child, who accompanied her. She Said he
appeared quiet and peaceable.
HAD HIS THEOAT OUT.
Charles P. Tevis Gets the Worst of a
Fight on East Street.'
Charles P. ■Tevis, a young man from St.
Louis, called at the old City Hall; police
station last evening with a handkerchief
covering his throat. He removed the
handkerchief and showed a gash in his
throat extending almost from ear to ear.
He said while he was fighting with a
man on East street about two hours pre
viously another man came up behind him
and cut his throat. Then the two of them
ran away. He thought he could identify
the men. ' . .
. Tevis was driven to the Receiving Hos
pital in the patrol wagon and Dr. Redding
stitched up the wound in his throat. It
required thirty-two stitches. Tevis was
joking with the doctor all the time. The
wound was not deep and he will be all
right again in a few days. Kfi'H'f:^
The harbor police were ' communicated
with, but they failed to get any corrobora
tion of Tevis' story.
SCHEEL WILL BE LEADER.
The Metropolitan Musical Society
Engages Him
For a Sew Series of Concerts at the
Auditorium— Work of Influential
Amateurs.
The Metropolitan Musical Society is an
organization which was recently formed by
a number of genuine music-lovers in order
to further the highest interests of the art in
this city. The directors are: John Par
rott, W. Mayo Newhall, Henry J. Crocker,
Frank P. Deering, Joseph D. Redding,
Louis Sloss Jr. and Jacob Stern. *
With such influential men. at the helm it
is not to be wondered that the society is
already in a position to announce a series
of concerts at the. Auditorium, under the
leadership of Fritz Scheel, with a greatly
enlarged orchestra.
The series begins on Tuesday evening,
the 19th inst., and the concerts will con
tinue to be given every Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday evening, as "well as oh
Wednesday afternoons. The music will be
popular in character, except on Thursdays,
when symphonies will be given.
The Musical Society has
engaged Scheel for Ihe present series of
concerts, because he happens to be on the
spot and the members are satisfied with
his ability as a conductor. In seasons to
come other attractions in the way of music
may be made possible to the public of San
Francisco through the disinterested efforts
of the new society. In the meantime
every one will hear" with satisfaction that
a new series of high-class concerts is to be
commenced.
