TRYING TO GET HIS BRIDE,
After Many Strange Experiences
H. M. Sheehy Will Marry
Miss Riley.
A C0MsT0CK MINERS QUEST.
When They Marry They Will Go to
Africa, Where Mr.. Sheehy Is to
Get $500 a Year.

Among the arrivals at the Grand Hotel
is Harry NJ. Sheehy, a medium sized
bronzed man, who has had odd expert
ences in many parts of the world.
He has come now from the heights OF
the Cordiileras, but in times past he has
visited other remote and as strange parts
of the globe, until his experience as a
miner-a business he has followed from
youth-has been as varied as that of any
man of middle age in the West.
Mr.. Sheehy was engaged for many years
on the Comstock. He is now going to
South Africa, at salary of $500 year, to
take charge of properties in Sir Cecil
Rhodes great com bination OF bonanzas.
On his way, however, he will stop off at
his old home at Virginia City and meet his
sweetheart, whom he has not seen for many
years. The marriage bells will ring out
nerrily, and then Mr.. Sheehy and his
bride will begin the long journey together
to the rich reefs of the Dark Continent.
The sturdy miner who has piled his
pick in the ground with varying success in
many different camps of the country has
been pretty fortunate in South America.
He has been for four years general super
intendent of the Andes Mining Company
L
Before he went there he mined, besides
on the Comstock, on the noted Bobtail, in
Colorado; the Toughnut, Contention and
Tom bstone in Arizona. the Minas Pretas
and the SomEreti in Mexico. He also
owned and worked for himself some mines
III the Rocky Mountains, IN the San uan
country.
He had previously made considerable
money from other properties, but the San
Juan mines proved not profitable, and he
lost what he had before gained. 80
Mr.. Sheehy has been in Africa hitherto.
He went there some seven years ago, but
returned to take hold of properties on this
continent. In the Cordilleras he mined at
the great height of 16,500 feet above the
level OF the sea. Eternal winter was there,
for there was no time of the year that the
snow did not lie thick in the gorges among
the lofty peaks where the mines of the
Andes Company lay.
These mines were largely owned by rel
atives of the famous Harry Meiggs, who.
as a Napoleon of finance, cut such a re-
markable figure in the affairs of San Fran
cisco, and later of Peru. The mines are
rich, so Mr.. Sheehy says. They are de-
veloped by tunnel 3400 ieet long. which
cuts the pay streak at the great depth of
2100 feet.
They are only twelve degrees south of
the equator. Mr.. Sheehy was inclined to
be very reticent in regard to his marriage.
From another source, however, it was
learned that the sweetheart of the intrepid
miner was Miss Maggie Riley, a popular
young woman of Virginia City, who has
been raised and educated there.
Mr.. Sheehy expects to make his future
home in South Africa.
II do not know yet, however" he said.

burg, Salisbury or Bullawayo. The reef at

ing his residence in Chicago he was dele
gate TO every municipal Republican con-
vention. He had a friendly talk with
Chris Buckley since his return and in
formed his old-time comrade that he was
back in the Republican party, where he
first belonged, a statement which must
have delighted that eminent Democrat.
Mr.. Driscoll said, by way of comment ::
Buckley would know it anyway, as all
the boys employed in the poolrooms are
Buckley Democrats"
P. H. McGlynn was asked all about the
payment of money to General ]. H. Dick
inson. He said it was paid for legal ser.
vices. The witness testified that he had no
knowledge of payments to any member OF
the Board of Supervisors. He declined to
tell the Grand Jury what the profits of his
establishment were.
Or. German, whose place of business is
on Ellis street, said that he, did not give
money to the Supervisors. When asked
by the Grand Jury if he used the Western
Union telegraph lines in getting messages
from the racetrack, he replied in the mega
tive.
Other witnesses called were Charles
Kingsley, Ed Parrish, Grant Israel, Owen
Thorn, W. J. Kearny, NJ. Levy, Z. Savage,
J. 0Donneli, Lawrence, Mitchell Bahr,
Phillips, Latter and Goldtree.
j. c. Burdette, a lawyer, and J. G. Lang
don were witnesses on some subject not
connected with the pool-selling inquiry.
While the Grand Jury was receiving
testimony on the inside the waiting sports
III the anteroom kept the nickel-in-the-
slot telephone warm with inquiries as to
events on the racecourse. The result of
each race was promptly announced, and
when the name of the winning horse was
mentioned the assembled brokers knew
whether their respective houses downtown
were ahead or out on the reported events.
). o. Donnell, recent acquisition to the
sporting fraternity from Chicago via Mon
tana, made one running that elected ap-
plause. He was lucky enough to get a
message to his office by telephone without
being called on by Central to drop a
nickel in the slot. He is properly rated as
the luckiest man that ever used the Grand
Jury's telephone.
The Grand Jury ad journed until next
Monday. During the session yesterday
word was received that the Joint commit
tee OF Supervisors had recommended the
adoption of the Wagner ordinance. The
information caused no surprise. The as
sembied booksellers commented on the
recommendation.
They expect the Mayor to veto the Wag-
ner order, should it pass the board, and
from their general expression of opinion
on the subject they seem to understand
that the ordinance, if passed and approved :,
would be invalid, as it conflicts with a
State law permitting pools to be sold
within race Enclosure.
Members of the Grand Jury knew per-
fectly well that General Dickinson has
been acting as the adviser of Supervisors.
The fact was brought out in a recent inter-
view published in The CALL that General
Dickinson pointed out to Supervisor
Hughes the weak places" in the pool or
dinance which the Grand Jury asked the
board to pass.

VOTE OF THE SOLID FOUR.
The Wagner Ordinance, Entirely
Prohibiting Pool-Selling, Is
FaVOrad.

Half OF the Solid Eight in the Board of
Supervisors, with stolid faces that betok-
ened a cut-and dried decision, struck a
blow at one of CALIFORNIA; great industries
yesterday, which. though it will probably
avail them nothing, nevertheless placed
them on record in the matter.
The pool-selling ordinance, fathered by
Saloon keeper Wagner, member of the
Solid Eight, was before the joint Judiciary
and Health and Police committees, whittier
it had been referred by the board Tor con.
sideration. This order prohibits all pool
selling within the limits of the City and
County of Gan Francisco, aud if made an
ordinance by the board will result in the
closing of the new Ingleside track, upon
which many hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars have already been spent.

Kelly and Jack Dougherty, Ito see Jerry

went before the Grand Jury. He ex-
planned to old-time acquaintance on the
jury, who were glad to see him, that he
had been living in Chicago for the past
five years and had only returned to San
Francisco few weeks ago. He bought an
interest in the old Whitehead place, on
LeidesdorfT street, and knew nothing about
the payment of money to Supervisors.
He did not know of his own knowledge
that lawyer was paid, as everything of
that kind was left to his partner.
