GOLD MINE IN SAN FRANcrsco..-Our
San Francisco exchanges give glowing
" excited accounts of a gold mine
Just discovered on Telegraph Hill, In
that city. The Chronicle Of Saturday
has the following In relation to It,
Some excitement was created yester-
day by the report that gold had been
discovered by the workmen employed
In quarrying out rock OIL Broadway,
between Kearny and Montgomery
streets. About 8 o'clock In the after
noon n reporter visited the scene and
found an eager and excited crowd.
Every man, woman and child had a
chunk Of red rock VERY vsluble-for
concrete(, and each vas busily engaged
in endsavoring to dotect traces Of gold.
Our reporter found that . vein OF min
gled quartz and granite, about IL
Inches in width, had been laid bare,
and specimens Of the rock looked as
though a diligenr assay might possibly
result in q few dollars to the ton ; but
we wouldn't care Z risk our hopes OF
future financial independence on the
dividends OF that mine. The lodo or
"streak" runs In a northeasterly and
southwesterly direction. and dips east
ward. The lot OH which 1t was dis
covered Is owned BY Mrs. Cole. and
the rock is being quarried by Miles 81
Brennan, who furnish the rock to Mr..
Jordan, the concrete puryeyor OF the
new City Hall. The superintendent
Of the quarry states that the discovery
was first made by the workmen OH
Thursday afternoon, and that several
carloads Of the ''ore" must have been
hauled of and transformed into COLI
crete before the nature OF the rock was
known. 1t Is possible that further OK
~ploratlons may develop collaborating
quartz that would pay for working,
but the chances are against It. A blast
will be exploded this afternoon, which
may throw more light on this subject
and moro rocks on the heads Of the
neighbors.

From tho 8. F. Chronicle, February 9th,l
A Sclayonian named Marco Gusina,
who kept a fruit store on Folsom street,
near Fifth, was found dead In his store
yesterday morning, with a fearful
wound in the head and a slx-shooting
rifle lying alongside him Oh the floor.
Deceased was n resident of this city
since the early days Of 1850, and had
acquired at one time considerably
property. He went to Italy about
eight years ago, was married there,
and returned to San Francisco soon
after. Since then lie has suffered busi-
ness reverses and family griefs which
partially unsettled his mind. His wife
died about a year ago. leaving two
children, the eldest Of whom soon fol-
lowed her to the grave. or the cir
cumstances Of Gusina's death little Is
known. On Wednesday evening his
nephew, John Vuzcovich, called Mt the
store and found him considerably In
toxicated. He spoke In a rambling
way to the young man, telling him.
"You had better look out for me-"
vuzcoyich did not attach much impor-
lance to his uncle's talk, as hs had fire.
qucntly spoken In tho same vein lately:
Yesterday morning he called again and
found the store doors locked-a very
unusual circumstance. Some OF the
nelghbors told Vuzcovich that they
had heard the report Of gun or pistol
during the night. The door was then
broken open, and Gusina was found
dead as stated. He was on the floor,
In a sitting position. and leaning back
against the wall. An inquest was held
last evening by the Coroner. but no
new facts were ELECTED. DIR. Pawllcki,
who had been attending physician to
Gusina, testified that at times his ac-
lions betokened insanity. Tho verdict
of the jury was In accordance with the
facts, rs stated above. Deceased was
aged about 90 years. Notwithstanding
his pecuniary losses, he was, at tho
time Of his death, In tolerably good
circumstances, being the owner OF II
lots on Bernal Heights and having
some money on deposit in one Of the
hanks.

wHAr Hn SHOWS THEM.

Mr.. Do Long was In too great q
hurry altogether in trying to rush
through to Washington with tho jap
anese Embassy, or he was badly
fooled. He could not spend time to
bring them here to the field Of his own
greatest renown and show them the
true greatness Of our young and -four
ishing State. He would not show to
them the greatest, most extensive and
richest silver and gold mines In the
known world; our many and most
powerful mining works and mills. He
would not introduce them to the most
energetic, and enterprising commu-
nifty, or show them the public institu-
tions Of Carson, Virginia and Gold
Hill, so credltable for a State as yet
merely In Its infancy. Being not even
so well posted as to the condition Of
the Union Pacific Railroad rs were we
out here in the sage-bruah hills, not
w~ithstanding his familiar hob nobbing
with the great railroad magnates Of
Sacramento, the ambitious De Long
ignored US all. for ION to Washington
was his one idea. Well, he has not
got there with his Japs, yet, and Is not
likely to until the Spring sun melts
away the snow blockade.
What does he show tho astute high
Japs? A great continental railroad,
Intended for the "highway Of nations"
yet which our own nation cannot pass
over now because 1t Is Winter.
A peculiar people amid our boast
ed American progression, clinging
fast to one Of the "past relics Of bar.
barlsm." A rich agricultural and
mineral territory whose admission as a
sovereign State into the great Amert'
can Union Is retarded by that same
heather domestic Institution, where
one man Ia allowed to have two or
three dozen wives, while others have
to 90 without. A people whose pecu'
liar religion Is at war with all Others
in tho land, and whose great Prophet
aud chief governor Is undor arrest and
indicted for violating the laws OF his
country. Why does he not rush for
ward with them to the front, and show
them the beauties and the h~opelessness
Of the snow blockade, with the trains
Of starving passengers held In durance
both vile and in%tolerable, to say moth
Ing Of tho huge accumulations of de-
layed and despoiled merchandise
Bah he'd better show them the back
track and 90 by way OF Panama.
while they have passage money lett,
and before a public subscription Isl
has to be circulated for their relief.

EXPLOSION OF A BELLows.-A sim
gular accident is recorded In the Louis
Vile Couier-Jownal. A Mr.. Veith,
blacksmith, In that city, commenced
his work early In the morning, rs usu-
al, by blowing up q fire Ia the forge
by means Of Ills bellows. After pump
ing at the lever for some time, the coal
being we'll lighted and everything
ready, 1t seems that he leaned upon
the lever until all the air had escaped
from the bellows, and when he re-
lieyed It Of the weight the bellows
filled with the gas from the forge In
stead of drawing air through the valve
underneath. In an instant the gas was
Ignited by the fire In the forge, and a
terrific explosion ensued, which sound
ed like the firing Of a cannon. The
bellows was torn to pieces. Several
iron missiles lying on tho concern were
hurled to the roof Of the building, and
a large hammer was sent whirllng
close to Mr.. Veith's head. Fortunately
no serious damage was done except to
the bellows, which was torn to pieces,
aud to tho nerves of Mr.. Veith, who
was badly frightened.

WONDERFUL IMPROVEMENT IN FIRE
ARMs.-''That's u pretty solid piece Of
oak" said General Lcgget, the Com
missioner Of Pensions, picking up q
stick sixteen inches thick, through
which there was a small and remarka-
bly, clean cut hole. "That hole was
made by a rifle ball, and after making
the hole as you see 1t here, the small
ball went through eight pine planks,
In all niue inches thick. The oak, you
see, has q knot when the ball came
to that It was turned about ten degrees
from a straight line, and thence went
straight on and through the pine"
This illustrates inc Of the most recent
and, at the same time, most wonderful
improvements in firearms. The rifle
from which the ball having such WON
derful force was fired, Is supplied with
extra chambers ranged along the bar
rel, which are loaded and explode one
after another, as the ball, having re-
ceiyed Its first impulse, passes them.
It Is estimated that a ball shot from
one Of these rifles would 70 at least "a
miles, II 1t met with NJ obstacles. Ex-
perlments with heavy artillery oper-
ating upon this principle have been
made In England, and the results indi-
cate a probability Of extensive changes
In the construction of large guns.

summary or the "Al.ban." ..d
sSlhsr Claims.

The following Is the concluding por-
ton Of the statement Of the American
Commissioners in regard to the Ala
bama claims, as laid before the Geneva
Commission, which may be classified
as follows:
First, tho claims for. direct losses
growing out Of the destruction Of ves-
sells and their cargoes by the insurgent
cruisers ; second, the national expen-
ditures In the pursuit Of these cruisers;
third, the loss In the transfer Of tho
American commercial marine to the
British flag fourth, the enhanced pay
ments OF insurance ; fifth, the prolon-
CATION Of the war and tie addition Of
a largo sum to the cost of the war and
the suppression Of the rebellion. No
summary In figures for the claims I'M
der either Of these heads Is presented
In the statement, but reference Is made
to such Of the papers presented In evil
dence rs will enable the tribunal to
arrive ut a Just estimate. The state
ment adds : 10 the amount thus shown
should be added interest upon the
claims to the day when the award Is
payable by the terms Of the treaty
namely, twelve months after the date
Of the award. The usual legal rate Of
interest In the city Of New York 10 z
per cent. per annum. In some Of the
States It Is greater; In few Of them
less. The United States make a claim
for Interest at thut rate. The computa-
ton Of interest should be made from
an average day to be determined. The
United States suggest the first day of
July, 1868, nj the most equitable day.
The statement sets forth In conclusion
the e~xpediency of an award by tho tri-
bunal Of a gross sum to be paid by
Great Britain to the United States.
Tho statement itself Is contained In a
printed volume Of 500 pages, and for
the greater convenience Of the arbitra-
tors, ithas been translated into French.
It 10 accompanied by seven printed vol
umes containing the documents, off,
clal correspondence and other evidence
In which the United States rely, the
right being reserved to present here
after additional documents, corre-
spondcnce and evidence.

CuSpuRANao.-The following Is
from the Oakland Transcript of Fsbru-
airy 9th:
We heard this week OF another as
tonishing cure performed by the weed
growing luxuriantly and plentifully
In South America. and known as the
cu~ndurango. A Mrs. Tidball, living
near this city, has been affected for
years with a growing cancer, until her
physician stated that her case was
hopeless, and abandoned her TO a slow
death. The efficacy Of the cu%ndurango
became known to her.and she has been
trying the same for about two months,
and assures us she is satisfied she will
be completely cured. As a preventive
from the disastrous effect of cancer, the
cundurango seems to be what vaccina-
ton Is towards preventing the malig-
nant type OF smallpox.
