Fetch Worship.

Among the primitive races every fresh
fetch meets with consideration, for, though
1T may inspire nothing else, it inspires
fear. An exclamation heard at random, a
word neither understood nor sought to be
comprehended, will be repeated by a
savage that, happily, it may bring him
good or avert from him evil fortune. 1t can
do no harm and may do good, like paper
charm or the 'absit omen" of the Romans.
Thus thinks, doubtless, the peasant trudg-
ing from market in the west of England
to-day, as she gives nine mods to the new
moon-a remnant of the worship of
Ashtaroth-or turns her purse in her pocket
'for luck-a shred of sacrifice to the fetch
the purse contains, provided she can do so
unobserved.
Yet what an insensate and cruel fetch it
is-so hard to come by, so impossible to
keep, now for a few happy hours in her
pocket, or the stocking, or the cracked tea
poland now over the counter-never
resting in her work-wearied, willing hands,
but nesting in, sticking to the fingers
of old CATER Grimes, who will guard it,
hoard it, treasure it, deny himself the
necessaries of life to increase the bulk of
his bloated fetch, and finally die misera-
BILE death of starvation, worth" we are
told, between EGO, 900 and $40, 200. And
the fetch having slowly tortured his slave
to death, the tidings of his approach are
received with such paroxysm of delight
by the next heir-his expectant host-that
it is found necessary to shut him up, put
him into safe custody, lest his life go with
his reasOn.-Chambers' Journal.

Assays of Rich Ore.

Colorado is "daisy" when it comes to
advertising her mining resources. Her
papers are all loyal to that interest and
there are none in opposition to it as in this
State. Every time a mine there makes a
strike of rich ore it is heralded not only in
Colorado itself but all over the country.
This week, for instance, we are told of a
mine at Victor which has struck a vein
with some ore assaying $140, 600 to the ton,
and they think several millions are in
sight Such conclusion by no means
follows. In the Bonanza and other pocket
mines at Sonora. Tuolumne County, they
have come across places where there was
more pure gold than rock, but these pock-
cts are small. An assay at such point,
and then a little figuring on the width of
the ledge, would far ortdo the Colorado
claim. In the Rawhide, in the same
county, some of the ore which is OCCASION
ally found is marvelously rich, but little is
said of these matters here. In fact the
owners themselves keep quiet about it.
But as stated Colorado knows how to ad-
vertise her properties and in consequence
has an abundance of capital always
coming into its mining regions. We have
in this State the largest gold-producing
mine in the world, yet very few even of
our own people know this fact.

The Greek-Russian cemetery has passed

Goods acre. in San Francisco will soon be
converted into building lots and sold to the
highest bidders.
The cemetery was sold last Monday in
the Office of Baldwin & Hammond, on
Montgomery street, and though the gen.
eral public knew little or nothing of the
sale there was a large crowd present
Those who stood around watching the pro-
ceedings were strange mixture of people.
There were Servians, Montenegrins, Rus
slams, some Greeks and many more from
the Balkans and Slav countries, each and
every one of whom manifested deep inter-
est in the sale.
course, the one offer made by the Servian-
Montenegrin Literary and Benevolent So
ciety of $42S5 so. And at that figure the
cemetery was sold. The land is located
near the corner of Turk street and Parker
avenue, under Lone Mountain, and is an
irregularly shaped acre measuring 305 feet
on one side 257 on another, POI feet on a
third, SO feet inches on still another with
40 feet on the fifth side.
Small as the bit of land out on the lonely
sandhill is, it has strange history. Fully
a generation back it was bought by Sla-
vonian and Russian society which went out
of existence. The Greek-Russian- Slavonian
Orthodox Eastern Church and Benevolent
Society was subsequently formed. 1t
claimed to have succeeded the former or
ganization some members of which main
tanned that they were the real owners.
1t was this contention that led to dissen-
sions in the Russian colony of San Fran
cisco. Some bodies were inferred in the
cemetery and then the place was forsaken
and utterly neglected.
The Servian- Montenegrin Literary and
Benevolent Society was organized, and
from it the church society borrowed $4,000
in February, 1891, with interest at " per
cent, due four years after date. This
money was invested in cemetery in San
Mateo County and secured by mortgage
on the acre out at Lone Mountain. Even
tually the dispute settled down to legal
question between the two organizations
with the result that the original cemetery
was sold for the mortgage, interest and
costs of court The dead bodies were re-
moved to the new burial ground in San
Mateo County.

LOCAL DEMOCRATS.
Another Branch of the Iroquois Organ

Market Inspector.

IHspecIOI'
A branch Iroquois club was organized
last evening in the Thirty-seventh Dis
trict at Mowry's Hall, corner of Grove and
Laguna streets. Fifty or more Democrats
assembled under the auspices of Max
Pepper and listened to speeches from
Orators Joseph Nougues, Martin Hughes,
John Foley and ex-State Senator Meade,
formerly of Sierra, but now of the United
States branch mint in San Francisco.
The temporary officers elected were:
John Foley, chairman, and Z. E. Farmer,
secretary.
Next Monday evening a club will be
organized at Powers Hall, in the Thirty
eighth Assembly District.
The Democrats of the rank and file that
assemble every night at the Baldwin ex-
press their sentiments regarding recent
Board of Health appointments in man
ner quite refreshing. They claim that the
combination has sought out men for pre-
ferment who never signed a Democratic
club-roll.
There is talk now that DIR. Dudley, a
nephew of Harbor Commissioner Colnon,
is on the slate for resident physician at
the City and County Hospital.
Powers of the Thirty-eighth District, at
whose hall an Iroquois club is to be organ
lied next Monday evening, is a vigorous
candidate for Market Inspector and points
to record of thirty years active work in
San Francisco to promote the success OF
the Democratic party.
Ex-Supervisor John Foley, who was
chairman of the I-oquois club organized
last evening, is candidate also for Market
Inspector. He can point likewise to thirty
years service in the party.

A Cheap Mine for Once.

The Pioneer mine, Placer County, owned
by A. E. Davis and the late James G. Fair
and recently sold to Boston capitalists for
$15O00O, is thought bv some to have
brought high price. The fact is, in view
of its product, it seems to have brought an
exceptionally low one. Capitalists all want
'going" mines, that is, those which are
paying, and here was mine in full opera
ton, with a twenty-stamp mill turning out
Handsomely, yet it only brought the figures
named, The mine has only been actively
worked for six years, yet in that time it has
yielded $331 800, of which $10S,000 was
produced in 1894. For a mine with such
an amount of production in its last years
run and only six years active life, the
amount it brought was very low indeed.
1t is doubtful if so cheap mine could be
found in the State. Thousands of that
kind Of mines could be sold if they could
be found. 1t is SO seldom that Eastern
people get hold of a good mine at any sort
of reasonable price, that Mr.. Jacques of
Haverhill, Mass, who came here to settle
the matter, ought to be congratulated by
his Boston associates for making such
bargain
