WILL CALL At GULF PORTS,
SAN FRANCISCO STEAMERS TO
COMPETE FOR MEXICAN CAR
RYING TRADE.
To TAKE MERCHANDISE SOUTH AND
RETURN WITH ORE FOR
SELBY.

III. B. Underhill Jr. has Just returned
from Mazatlan, Mexico, where he has been
negotiating with mine-owners for the ship
ment of ore to the Selby smelling works at
Selby, near Port Costa. The Mexicans
have been sending their ore by vessel to
Germany and by water and rail to Colo
RADIO and the arrangement that Mr.. I'm
derhill has entered into on behalf of his
company will bring much of the gulf trade
to San Francisco and other California
points.
Seeing the Importance of this gulf trade
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company has
decided to put on extra steamers of light
draught to call at the ports of Mazatlan,
Altata, La Paz and Guaymas. These are
important ports on the Gulf of California,
and are the principal outlets to the rich
mines inland. The steamer Willamette
Valley will leave San Francisco on
its first trip on March Is. She will carry
merchandise and passengers on the down
trip and will return with ore for the Selby
Company.
The deep-draught vessels are unable to
touch at Alfalfa owing to a bar there.
Altata is the seaport to Culiacan, with
which it has railroad connections, in the
State of Sinaloa. The mineral output Of
the State is large, and it is the purpose of
San Francisco parties to direct as much of
it as possible this way.
There is no question, said Mr.. Under
hill, ''but that very large trade can be
worked up between San Francisco and the
Mexican States bordering on the gulf, and
Goodall, Perkins & Co. have taken hold of
the matter with avidity. The company
has made all its arrangements with the
Mexican Government to call at the gulf
ports, and we hope for good results from a
Commercial intercourse with these States.
The territory is rich in silver. The mines
at San Dimas, Utopia and elsewhere are
very productive. Our merchants and
shippers should give the gulf country

A JURY's DECISION REVERSED
A Double-End CabIe-Car Is Not an In
vention.

The suit of John Hammond VS.. the
Stockton Com bined Harvester and Agri-
cultural Works was decided in favor of
the defendants in the United States Circuit
Court by Judge McKenna yesterday. The
plaintiff sought damages for the infringe
ment of patented design for double-end

cision of the jury, on the ground that the
plaintiffs design was not an invention.
