Arrests and Fines Under Chief Crowley's
Administration.


Administration.
In conversation with a reporter yesterday
Chief Crowley characterized the statement
that the police were subsidized by the gam
blers to the extent of $1,000 a week as a
fiction pure and simple. lie admits that
faro games are run spasmodically for a day
or two, but they are closed up as soon as
discovered. In fact, there is less gambling
In this city. he thinks, than any city of its
size IN the United States.
The same remarks. he continued, are ap-
plcable to Chinese gambling. 1t may be
carried ON furtiyely for little while but is
eventually broken up by the regular squad
or The extra force under Officer Douelan.
In support of his assertion Chief Crowley
produced his records to show the strenuous
efforts made by him to stop games of chance.
From December l. 1879, when he first took
Office, up to December 81, 1891, the records
show the arrest Of 1856 per sons for keeping
gambling places. $3.50 for visiting lottery
houses, 524 for visiting dice games ard $685.
Tor visiting faro, tan ana other prohibited
games. Fines amounting to S361, o72 have
been imposed during the same period as

A PROTECTING BARRIER.
1he First Railroad Safety-Gate Erected
in This City.


The First Railroad Safety-Gate Erected
in This City.
The Southern Pacific Railroad Company
mas begun the initiatory work of erecting
safeguards against the posi- biity of acct
dents TO pedestrians and vehicles with pass
ing trains on thoroughfares which the latter
are compelled to cross.
In the past week the company has caused
TO be erected mechanical continuance
known as the railroad safeiy-gate at the
four corners OF the railroad crossing on
Mission street, between Twenty fourth aud
Iwentyfiftn Upon each OF these corners
mas been placed an attenuated pyramdal-
shaped wooden shaft thirty three feet in
length.
Although they are not quite ready for
service demonstration OF the method of
operating the simple machinery was given
yesterday.
In the first place each shaft is secured
near the base to solid cylindrical cast-iron
post or sfapchIon wherein is placed the
simple but effective machinery by which
the gates are closed or opened.
When open the shafts or sections of gates
are III perpendicular position and when
upon the approach of a train 1t is neees-
sary 10 close the gates the lookout turns
two cTanks which are placed on but one of
the stanchions. This starts a chain-con-
meeting gear In motion and resultant lever
To horizontal position, until the point of
each shaft meets that OF the opposite one
midway in the street. An iron swinging
leg attached TO the end of each shaft first
strikes the ground and serves as a support,
thereby making the elevation of the gate
Tour leet, thus forming barrier on either
side of the track.
When the train has passed few turns of
the cranks bring them back to a per-
pendieular position, when delayed persons
or teams may proceed on their way.
Some accurately calculated ballast at
tached TO the base of the shafts affords
splendid leverage and has great deal to do
with the smooth working Of the contri-
vance.
1t was learned that the gates were made
at the Sacramento shops and patterned
from models obtained in the East
The gates will be ready for operation to-
morrow aud the proposition OF placing gates
at other crossings VIII then be considered

INCORPORATED FEBRUARY Is. 1892.

The properties of this company con-
sist of 1880 acres of coal lands at Coal
Harbor, Unga Island, Alaska Territory.
distant about 100 miles from San
Francisco.
There are FIVE well-de6ned veins on
these lands, varying in size from 8 to z
feet. which can be traced for assistance
of fully two miles along the bluff.
These veins being b ,riz,ntal can be
economically worked. and by re 1son of
being on the very waters edge, where
the largest ships can anchor, can be
handled at the smallest minimum cost.
Sufficient work has been done on the
property to fully demonstrate this fact,
and for years the coal from these mines
has been used by vessels plying BE-.
tween this city and other places and
Alaskan ports.
This company is now preparing to
fully equip these mines with all the
necessary supplies and force to prose
cute the work of mining and shipping
coal to this market
With the small expense of mining
this coal and our facilities for loading
ships and the low rates offered by the
new whaleba steamers, we expect to
deliver coal in large quantities in San
Francisco at cost which will not ex
coed $50 so per ton.
We invite the attention of investors
to this enterprise and at the same time
call attention to the great increase in
our importations of Coal, which lasi
year amounted to 1,700, 000 tons.
With the steady growth in popula
ton and in our Manufacturing indus
tries, Company owning such valuable
properties as the Coal Harbor Coal
Mining Company possesses, and with
the careful and economical manage
ment it is proposed to give. has every
reason to believe that q liberal return
will be made to the Stockholders on the
par value of the stock.

the Coal Harbor Coal Mining Company, hald
February II, 1892, 1t was determined 10
offer limited amount Of the Treasury Stock
for sale at less than the par value, and at
such rates as will offer exceptional induce
ments to investors.
Investors desiring to secure portion
