EDITORS HERALD: A new boom
has broke out here and very heavy
firm from San Francisco has finally
decided to lake hold of the mines at
this place, and will erect a large
quartz mill al once. 1t has most
thoroughly tested and examined all
the groups OF mines in this vicinity
through the well-known expert, the
Hon. w. R. Defrees, a gentleman
who has built nineteen quartz mills
on this coast within fifteen years, and
is himself heavy capitalist. He
pronounces these mines good, and
has built mills on many poorer pros
poets, and all are making money.
Probably no expert on the coast ever
stood as high in the estimation of min.
ing companies. All OF the old miners
hanging on to their claims for many
long years, too poor to work them,
will at last realize their fond dreams
and are now happy. Many rich
claims will now pe hunted up. In
Lang THE HERALD is the favorite
as usual.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.

SAN Francisco, March 18.-About
$4,000 people this afternoon witnessed
the three-mile sculling race between
O'Connor, of Canada, and Petersen,
of California, on what is known as the
Oakland neck of San Francisco bay.
The wa er was comparatively smooth
and both men apparently in good con-
dition. The day was as fine a one
as could be desired. O'Connor's
shell is the same one in which
he defeated Ham last fall
Petersen's was manufactured in Bos.
ton, being what is some times styled
by sportsmen "Irish make" The
bow slopes down and under water,
while that of O'Connor turns up.
Wagers on the men before the race
were about even. Owing to Petersen
being local man he was slightly the
favoiite of the majority of the people,
but with the sportsmen, especially
those from abroad, O'Connor was
generally first choice. The race was
to have been at 80 p. NJ, but it was
nearly half an hour later before it was
called.
The start was an even one, but
O'Connor quickly pulled ahead.
O'Connor rowed thirty-six strokes to
the minute to Petersen's thirty-nine.
AT THE HALF-MILE
O'Connor led by half a length; at the
mile O'Conro" led by three lengths
and increased it to four at the turn, a
mile and a half from the starting point.
in the last half mile before the turn,
Petersen steered wildly, encroaching
on O'Conner's water. O'Connor's
time to the turn was 10 minutes and
20 seconds. Petersen turned O'Con-
nor's stake.
On the race homeward Petersen
laid himself well to the oars to regain
what distance he had lost. When
about at the two-mile post Petersen
spurted, but OConnor met it with re.
sponsive strokes. For the rest Of the
race O'Connor maintained "a lead OF
four lengths, rowing thirty-eight
rokes to Petersen's thirty. O'Con-
ner passed the winning-post in &c
minutes and 23 seconds, Petersen 1C
seconds later. O'Connor was com
paratively fresh at the close, while
Petersen showed signs of exhaustion.
