REAL ESTATE VALUES.


Mr.. Thomas Magee has given testimony
before tue Board OF Supervisors that real
estate has undoubtedly decreased IN value
ID the last year. Other real-estate experts
think tie apparent decrea e lies largely in a
less active demand. II a large amount of
real property should be thrown upon the
market the effect would be greater depre-
citation than at period when speculation is
more act We. Real estate holders who can
hold or are not asking less than they asked
a year ago. But 1t is probable that very
large offerings would have a greater effect
upon the market than the same offerings
would have caused during the las. TWO or
three years. Mr.. Easton Of the firm Of
East0n. EdEidge & Co. is reported as say
ing that the depreeiatiOn may be attributed
IN part to a lack Of a progressive city gov
erument San Francisco, he says, is behind
other big cities in public Improvements.
Mr.. Easton is reported as saying: Let
San Francisco make 100000 Of improve
mems and her citizens improve their trans
pOrtati0n facilities, and an impetus will be
given 10 trade and al branches Of business
that win surprise some people who are now
looking blue. II the outside world sees we
are doing big things for ourselves We will
soon gel Il 30 come here with manufacturing
C. adjustments, more railroads and steam
ships all Of when viii mean more busi-
ness Increased wealth and greater pros
perity." Mr.. Easion can hardly take out a
patent on his idea. Il has been tried in
other countries, notably 10 the Argentina
Republic aud in Australia. In both Of those
countries they let the outside world see that
they were doing big things for themselves.
Railroads were built mainly to bring remote
property into the market. Bonds were is
sued 10 make public improvements Times
were lively as long as the money so raised
was being expended, but a reaction set in as
5000 as 1t was all gone Possibly if San
Francisco should borrow $1,000, coo for any
purpose times would improve while the
money was passing from hand 10 hand.
Times are generally guod while people are
running into debt. II Is possible that there
would be more confidence in the future Of
real estate values If there could be absO-
lutte assure &c that property would not be
assessed TO pay for improvements that only
remotely benefit the property so assessed.
The enterprising operators who have i'm
proved their speculative purchases by as
sessing their neighboTs up TO half or two
thirds OF the value Of their possessions have
been the cause Of great deal Of money
being locked ND Ia savings banks. Mr..
East0ns idea Of the value Of manufactures
Is correct But manufacturers shun high
taxes ana speculative schemes Exposed
to Eastern competition there is money in
making our own goods only when the work
IS cheapiy done. We now import very
large part Of finished goods Of which we
supply the raw material. for the simple
reason that the cost Of manufacture IS, for
one cause and another, excessive The
high taxes, which loan Of 100000 would
soon make higher, is one Of these causes
The morning call., 1892-07-20
THE TEMEscAL TIN MINES.

There seems to be difference between
the opinion Of Mr.. Geryase Purcell, the
general manager Of the Temescal tin mines,
and that Of the EI0miner in respect to the
value Of the property. Mr.. Purcell says the
mine is in every respect satisfactory. The
company, be says. owns 45, 900 acres Of land,
IN " hich 20 distinct lodes If rich ore are in
sight. y 70 one Of the lOdes has been worked
% depth exceeding 800 feet, and the ore
shows richer than that in Cornwall at
depth OF $500 feet Cur contemporary
opinion is that while rich ore exists it lies In
pockets 1t claims to know all about lodes
that have never been explored. People less
eager to find indications o the failure of an
American industry would admit that work
On one Of the 20 lodes visible on the surface
could not show that the other 60 were bar
rem even II one should be. Shafts or tun-
nels to the depth Of 300 feet afford little
more than an indication. If rich ore is
found ut that depth so much the better; II
not search is made a few hundred feet
lower. But Mr. Purcell says that rich ore
has already been found. He says also that
the lode upon which the company is now
working is true assure vein and broadens
constantly with increasing depth.

THE HOPKINS HOUSE.
Difficulties Ia the Way or It's Acceptance
by the Art Association.

Difhc ulties Ia the Way OF Its Acceptance
by the Art Association.
When Edward Searles, the surviving
husband Of the late Mrs. opkins-Searles,
announced his readiness to turn over the
Hopkins mansion on Mob Hill as perma-
nent home for art ali San francisco re-
joiced over the philanthropy which sag
gested the princely gift.
1t was intended. OF course, by the donor
that whatever body accepted the present
should guarantee that the property should
be used and maintained solely for the pur-
pose OF an ait headquarters. Naturally
Mr. Searles, and the public too, looked TO
the Art Association TO accept the gift on
the terms proposed, but after a good
months deliberat0n the association
hestates about accepting the responsibility
for maintenance, taxes, insurance, etc.
which the trust would impose npon them.
Under the circumstances the local admir-
ers Of AIT suggested that 1t would be adyisa-
bic 10 turn the gift over TO the city, but after
bring the property under the control of the
at their hands, consequently that idea was
abandoned. More recently 1t was proposed
TO interest the Board Of Regents Of the State
University IN tile matter induce them TO ac-
cept the gilt aud establish an art school
with cOnsld cradle success. This suggestion
however, has not vet been acted upon, and
the gift is still going a-begging. II is hoped,
however. that some solution of the difficult
ties in the way Of acceptance will be found

THE WORLDS FAIR OUTLOOK.

The prospect for contribution by Con-
gress to the Worlds Fair is not promising.
The House by large majorities refused to
concur on Senate amendments increasing
appropriations and the result will be a
comm ttee of conference. Ii the House had
shown any disposition to make an increased
appropriation on any terms there would be
more reason to hope that the House con-
ferrees would give way. But in the light
Of the votes yesterday it does not look as
though the House would accept a report
from the conference committee making an
appropriation adequate to the needs of the
fair managers. 1t is not probable, how
ever. that an enterprise upon which Amer-
can prestige in the world of commerce,
manufacture and art is so deeply involved
will be allowed to lag for lack of few
millions of dollars

TIMELY WARNING GIVEN.
Charges Made in the Mccain Guardian
ship Estate.

Charges Made in the McCann Guardian
ship Estate.
Judge Coffey received yesterday COM
munication, signed by reputable citizen,
making certain charges in the matter of
the guardianship OF Rose and John Mccain,
and be has referred the subject to an attor-
ney for iDvesti CATION.
The writer states that James T. Moore
was appointed guardian of the children in
September. 1888, his wife being a sister of
the mother OF the wards. and one of these
the girl, having died in 1884. Reference is
made 10 Moore as the man who was the SUBJ
lect OF articles published recently regarding
Teal-estate transaction, and out of which
has grown civil and criminal proceedings.
The writer calls the attention of TIL e
Judge thatno inventory has ever been fled of
tue guardianship estate, however long it has
been pending. and thatin the petition for let
tiers no mention is made of mines and proper
ty in Austin, New, nor of property in Port
land, Or, nor Of cash on hand, but that
charges have been permitted TO accumulate
against deposit of $500. Attention is
further called to the circumstance that

tax. 1t is perhaps we'll that the issue of
protection versus free trade should be
openly made. The people will have
choice between the two policies-the policy
of protection or that which declares tie
protection of American labor uncOnstitu-
tional. Fortunately, there is no other issue
of sufficient magnitude to obscure this.
Voters who want tree trade. OF a tariff for

The Democratic party is getting closer

declares that any tariff except one for rev.

land says that he does not think any good
Democrat will be dissatisfied with that
plank in the platform. In this State there
is no protest from the organs Of the party
on tariff grounds. The nominee OF the
party for the Fourth Congressional District
is for absolute free trade and single land

Edison is 90 doubt an inventor of great
originality, aud he may have some ideas Of
what could be done by destroying an enemy
in the field or a fleet in the Cling. But it
appears lie has not part or parcel in any
scheme to aid the Germans in the destrnc-
ton Of whole masses Of soldiers at dis
tances Of 20 or % miles. Edison has no
murderOus ideas in warfare for distances
extending 10 30 miles, and he remarks with
pareDthetic emphasis that he would be the
last person 10 put IN force such terrible
powers against the French republic. War
conducted on this diabolical footing If com
plete annih latOn would be too horrible for
the professional soldier.
Tie late Lord Dundouald. The son Of a
sire who wasted his fortune in chemical ex-
periments, devised a method Of capturing
besieged cities or forlresses without danger
TO tie besiegeTs lie undertook to capture
Sebast opol or Cronstad during the war of
1876 with Great Britain within two or
three hours and without loss Of any kind
to the attacking force. The proposal Of
death TO everybody within the beleagured
fortress WAS deemed too horrible at the
time 10 be acQnlesce1 ia by a Christian cnun-
try. although 10 limitation was put upon
the destructive power of battery. rife and
bayonet. Lord Dundonald defended his ex-
IRENE proposal upon the ground that once
put into execution his method would every
where be known, and once known, would
be regarded as too terrible for warfare
hencefortb. Dundonald's method of stop
ping or ending warfare by too much yio-
lence is now understood to depend entirely
upon chemical devices. The slain in a city
would be carried OF by chemical poisons,
and non-eOmbatants would share the fate Of
c0mbatants, and infants as well as adults
Warfare on this scale could not be carried
on persistently for any length OF time.
There would be a lack Of victims. Dun
donald had the idea that his proposition
once put into practice would end warfare
forever
The grand experiment is about TO be made

Will reach London in good condition and
take the top position in the market. If, as
Is anticipated, the fruit can reach London
within IA days. there is no reason 10 antici-
pate failure. But tine price obtained in the
London market, under strictly honest con-
dtlons Of sale, may not be all that shippers
expect. III It costs s. 20 TO land 100 pounds
OF fruit In England, the market is not a wide
one, except Tor the highest qualities among
select purchasers. For grapes or Bartlett
pears there Is, however, a wide margin, and
1t is quite possible that these fruits may
carry the English market by storm.
