price moro silver would be produced. The
reduction OF l cent in the duty on lead will
make lead properties less active, aud as
silver and LEAD are by products, you might
say of each other, there will be CORE
spending reduction in silver. We did not
feel the effect OF low prices of silver last
year as much as this. 1t looks as if the
receipts of silver ores would be lighter"
Mr.. Underhill said that there ad been
marked increase in the export of silver
dollars and bullion to the Orient, and this
had its effect on the market.

King Mining Company Limited. thinks
the worst has been passed. I'VE shall
operate the properties in the Calico dis
trict. though there is scarcely any profit
at present. The war between China and
Japan is having a beneficial effect on the
silver market.
Japan has but one mint. This mint will
take all the silver sent it. but 1t does OF
pay for it until minted. The mint is six
or seven months behind, and is working
night and day to catch up. Should the wal
be prolonged one, there will be demand
there it stays. What becomes of it ulti.
mately is uncertain, but DO silver is ever
returned to be unloaded here.
silver sent to China is carried inland Il
remote points in Mongolia. The native:
hoard 1t, and very little of it can find 1t:

MAJOR is GUILTY.
He 1t Was Who Wounded
John II. Horn.
He Rails at the Verdict of the jury
Sequel to a Sensation in
Fraternal Circles.

high and low, past and present, active
and inactive members of half the secret
soeieties in the city jostled each other in
Judge Wallace's court yesterday. The all
sufficient reason for their presence was
the trial of Alfred II. Major. charged
with attempt to murder John II. Horn.
Horn is an experienced joiner. He is q
member of several secret societies and has
been prominent in many of them. Major
is mlddle-aged man with puxom wife,
who it is said was a constant temptation in
the path of the joiner. who boarded with
them until the night of the shooting.
On that fateful Dight-it was Sunday,
April 22-NahOr returned to his home at
a late hour and found his wife and Horn
together. His wrath broke loose and he
smote the woman, whereupon Horn arose
and smote him. Major fled from the
house and returned half an hour later with
revolver in his hand. Horn opened the
door and Major opened fire. Three bullets
struck the former. and he was borne to
the Receiving Hospital, where it was
thought death would soon remove him
from sinful world.
Major languished in the City Priso f,
comforting himself with the thought that
his aim would be better next time Horn
recovered and the Grand Jury indicted the
graY-haired avenger.
Major told his story to the jury with
dramatic effect, giving all the incidents of
the night of the shooting. Horn gave his
version of the affair and after brief charge
the jury retired. Major hoped for the
BEST but was doomed to bitter disappoint.
ment The jury found him guilty of assault
with deadly weapon.
Its mighty tough" he remarked upon
hearing the verdict. ito have fellow vio-
late your con idence in this way and then

Major will be sentenced on Saturday.

DRAGGED TO PRISON.
A Stupid Blunder Made by Two
Policemen,

stupid blunder was made by Police
men Porter and Heaphy yesterday morn
ing. whereby two respectable boys were
subjected to the indgnity of being dragged
to the City Prison and detained for over
four hours, Notwithstanding their pro sta
tions of innocence.
Herman Boegi and Albert Mcdonald,
two boys employed on a cattle ranch on
the Mission road, were arrested on July 7
by Porter and Special Officer Mcdonald.
Mcdonald was charged with assault to
rob and assault to murder and Boegi with
assault to murder. The complaining wit
ness was a boy named Finnegan, who
works in a tannery on the San Bruno
road.
The cases were assigned to Judge Con-
lan's court. After several cOntinuances
the charge Eof assault to murder against
McDonald was dismissed. Then tpe police
laid the matter before the Grand Jury and
yesterday morning indictments were found
against the two defendants. Mcdonald on
both charges and Boegi on the charge of
assault to murder. McDonald'S bonds
were fixed at SIC. 600 and Boegrs at S5OOO
The defendants had been out on $1,000
bonds each. The cases came up in Judge
Conlan's court again yesterday morning,
and Mcdonald and Boegi were somew here
in the new City Hall waiting till their
names were called. When Porter and
Heaphy got the warrants from the Su-
perior Court for their arrest they went in
search of them.
Harry Roberts. 10 years of age, florist,
living at % Chenery street, and Frank
McCaffrey, 10 years of sge, a paper
carrier, living at 6 Plymouth avenue, were
standing i'll the corridor outside Judge Con-
lan's court and Porter and Heaphy, think
ing the boys were BOegi and Mcdonald,
arrested them. The boys protested and
wanted to know what they were arrested
for. and when told they were Boegi and
Mcdonald they denied the soft impeach-
ment.
Porter and Heaphy began to drag them
10 the City Prison and the boys struggled
TO get away from them, loudly proclaim
ing their innocence. A large crowd quickly
gathered and followed the quartet to the
prison. When they got inside Porter ana
Heaphy produced the warrants and asked
Sergeant Lindheimer to book them. The
sergeant heard the boys statements and
permitted them to sit in the waiting-roOm
till their identity could be established.
About four hours afterward ATTORNEY
Donovan. who represented BOegi and Me-
Donald, found his two clients and satisfied
the prison authorities by surrendering
them that Porter and Heaphy had COM
mitted a serious blunder.

output of silver nearly $50. OOO, 900 less than
the value OF the gold output for the same

and 10 figures given for 1898, showing that
since 1890 the gold output has shown a
much more rapid Increase year by year
than that Of silver.
An increase in the production of gold
for 1893 over 1892 to the value of So, 073, 800
is credited to Africa. Almost the entire
amount is due TO the wonderful develop
ments in South Africa.
The value of the gold product for South
Africa in 1889 was S7.7SS. 372; in 1890,
$40. ABS, $50; in 1891, S14 $780, 39; in 1892,
S23, 900, los; and in 1898. S28. 1913 831. 1t is
estimated that the product will reach
$35,0O0,0O0 and it may go above that
figure.
Western Australia is another promising
field from which a large gold output is
now confidently expected.
w. II. HaTries, agent for the Hong
Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation,
took a conservative view. He thought
speculation on the Chinese war was the
cause of the present rise in silver. ut
may go higher tomorrow, but l DO not
think there will be a very large increase
in the demand for silver in the Orient be-
yoDd the point now reached" said Mr..
Harries. ''The japanese loan is a domes-
tic one, and so far as the Oriental coun-
tries at war are concerned, their expenses
will not be over great. 1t does not cost
much more TO keep Chinese army during
war times than 1t does when the nation is
a peace. The shipments of silver across
the Pacific are larger now than formerly"
a. j. RalstOn. president Of the Selby
Smelling ana Lead Company, thought that
turn IN affairs had been reached, and
when asked as to the future of silver said
that it had fallen as low as 1t could.
There is no surplus of silver, and any
extra demand eXcites the market and tine

JUAN is MISSING.
A Wealthy Young Central
American Wanted.
Anxiously Looked For by His
Friends, Who Were to Take
Him in Charge.

When the steamer Colima came to port
several days ago she brought Juan P RADIO,
son of FREDERICK Prado of San Salvador T,
who was to make himself known to his
friends in this city who were to care for
him, as he is a stranger to American ways
and cities.
Juan has disappeared. so has his bag
gage, and not trace of him can BIZ found
at any of the hotels or lodging houses OF
the city.
Friends have been searching for him
high and low, and even private detectives
have been called into reQuisi,on.
The young man. for young man he Is,
was provided with ample coin when he left
La Libertad, and he spent il literally ON
Lis trip up TO San Francisco.
He was given letters of introduction to
business houses here by his father, who is
rich San SaIvadOran planter and a man
OF influence IN his country and abroad.
All that is known about Prado at the
Mail dock is told by the officers of the
Colima, who claim that the passenger left
the ship and that was the last they saw of
him.
The Colma got in last Saturday. The
young man had instructions to 90 to the
Office of downtown business house on
reaching the wharf. but he failed to put IN
an appearance. Persons went the rounds
of all the hotels, but no one had seen any,
body about the corridors answering to
Juan's description.
Juan speaks English very indifferenlly
and is said to be rather reckless in making
friends with strangers. He associated with
the people on the Colima and told some of
them that he had made the acquaintane
OF steerage passenger who was going to
show him the town. This story could not
be verified, but is only mentioned as
'rumor.
1t was thought that perhaps Juan's
baggage had been handled by some Of the
local express companies, but none seem to
have any record OF his trunks.
Notice will probably be sent to the
police today to watch for the missing
stranger.
