OF b. f. Hook, who yesterday assumed

around and claims to have discovered the
trend OF the ledge outside the limits Of the
Mccarthy lot.
Speaking of the two discoveries last
night Mr. Hook said: las far as my inyesti-

Il, PARKER'S MANY PARTS.
How the Fresno Genius Beat His
Swindling Way.

hoW the Fresno GENIUS Beat His
Swindling Way.
It has been learned that g. S. Parker,
alias Parkhurst, alias Peterson, the young
swindler now lying in the tanks at the old
City Hall, was in Stockton only a short time
ago. His swindling schemes were brought
to a sudden stop there by George f. Mother
sole, the manager of the Oakland Theater
Parker, while in Fresno. had lounged
about the Barton Opera house until he was
ordered away. There he learned that Man
ager Mothersole had control of circuit Of
theaters embracing the MacdOnOugh Thea
ter OF Oakland, the Yosemite Theater Of
Stockton and the Barton Opera-house of
Fresno.
Going to the Yosemite Theater in Stock.
ton he introduced himself TO the ticket
seller as Robert Barton of Fresno. He was
invited into the ticket Office and was able to
talk very glibly ABBOTT Fresno theatrical
matters. The local tIeket-sel,er was much
pleased with the affa5ility OF Fresno's young
capitalist.
In fact he became quite garrulous. lie
told his sympathetic auditor of an engage
ment ne had made, but could not fill be-
cause OF the non-appearance OF Mr.. Mother
sole.
That's all right old man." said tho pre-
tended Barton, ''I'll tend Office for YOU"
With ELUSIVE thanks the ticket man left
Parker In charge OF the Office. warning him
10 keep an eye on the money drawer, as
there was over $500 in it,
Just as he was passing out OF the theater
he met Mr.. Mothersole entering Mother
sole greeted him with surprise:
What are You shutting up the Office at
this time of day forP''
II haven't shut the Office" was the re-
spouse. II left Mr.. Barton in charge"
What J Bobby in town. L didn't know
that"
And when the astonished MothersoIe
reached the office he learned that his assist
ant did not know Barton.
Selling the pretender by the collar, he
kicked him out of the theater. warning him
that Stockton would be a very warm place
to atop in.
In Sacramento Parker met George Meier
dierks, student of Cooper's Medical Col
lege. When he transferred his attention to
San Francisco, Parker looked up Meier
clerks, and the latter introduced him at his
clearinghouse, but was the poorer to the
extent OF the bill.
Before Parker was forced TO leave the
Cooper College some valuable instruments
were missed from one department and a
case OF medicine from another. Since that
time nothing has been stolen.

Excitement still runs high at the corner of
McAllster and Devisadero streets, where
John Mccarthy is mining for quick silver.
The wonderful discovery has had the
effect of attracting mining men from ali
parts of the State, and on samples OF the ore
being sent 10 the Stale Mining Bureau it was
resolved to hold an official investigation of
the mine and its imme d ate surroundings.
MesSrs. Watts and Storms, field assistants
of the State Mining Bureau, visited the
mine yesterday. DIR. Watts had previously
made many researches into the geological
formation of the surrounding country and
from discoveries made was enabled TO pre-
sent tie following report:

This zone Of serpentne is intercolated
by metamorphic sedimentary rocks, and
locally the strike of serpentine is most

In early days there was some excitement
in quicksilver mining in San Francisco, and
ii is said that several old workings in the
Preside attest that fact.

appears TO be the strike of the vein. In
each af these holes traces of cinnabar have
been observed. There has not at present
been sufficient development to warrant the
expression Of an opinion as 10 the value OF
the discovery"
Mr.. Watts was then asked whether he
had made similar researches across the bay
and throughout the State. Certainly"
said Mr. Watts, II have done a great deal
of that kind Of work throughout the State.
and l will give you particulars of certain
discoveries | made across the bay.
You must know first that the late dis

quicksilver ores have been discovered near

in few places they show paints Of CHINA

agO-uo work had been done on these crop
pings and there was not n sufficient cX-
pOsure 10 justify a statement as TO whether
they are in place or not.

from these Groupings showed yield of one

THE NEW CINNABAR MINE.
ncCarthy VIII Have the Entire Lot
PIowed Up.


McCarthy's quicksilver mine on McAllis-
ter street still continues to yield rich speci-
mems of cinnabar, many of which are on
exhibition about town. There is some
difference of opinion among mining experts
who have examined the ore as to its real
value. But all declare that it contains less
iron and mica than the average ores mined
in this State, and that if sufficient einnabar
cfn be secured from the ledge of similar
quality it would be profitable to erect
reducing works and other necessary mining
equipments.
The shafthouse is nearly completed, while
several workmen are busily engaged with
pick and shovel d gging in the main prospect
hole which is incosed within the house.
The shaft is now about twelve feet deep by
ten in diameter.
The ore is mostly on the north side, which
shows the theory OF Magnate Mccarthy to
be true, viz, that the ledge runs in north
erly direction. The other shaft. a few feet
above the main one, Is also being worked,
and has shown some excellent specimens of
the rich ore.

the soil on Cinnabar Hill. Mccarthy had
