MEXICO AS A MARKET
What j. Sresovfch Thinks of the Posi-
bilities for California Grapes in
Sonora

]. Sresovich has written letter from
Hermosillo, in the State of Sonora, Mexico,
to his brother, L. G. Sresovich of this CITY.
telling him of the results of an experiment
recently made by him of a shipment of
grapes from California to Sonora for wine
production there. He took a carload of
grapes from Los Angeles on the oath ult..
and reached Hermosillo three days later.
In the letter he observes: 1--WE are now
drawing the wine October 13), which is
unsurpassed in quality, and from the prices
and demand our friends will be hand
somely paid for their enterprise. This. no
doubt, will be the opening for future
market of magnitude for our grapes, and
with little fostering by our viticulturists,

Mr.. Sresovich was surprised at the prog

his last visit, three years ago. Land is
being fast brought under cultivation. he
writes. He praises the successful enter

Turney and her family, will make them
well again.
Rheumatism and neuralgia too grow
more dangerous and more painful with
| cold weather.
This increased pain points to increased
activity of these disorders.
There is positive danger in allowing the
system to meet the perils of winter handi-
capped by rheumatism and neuralgia, or
any other disease that comes from poor
blood and bad nerves.
There is the same certainty of getting
rid of these two diseases that there is of
complete recovery from sleeplessness, ner-
vous weakness, hysteria or any other re-
suit of impoverished nerves and blood.
Physicians to-day get rid of rheumatism
and neuralgia as they do sIeeplessness,
melancholia and nervous dyspepsia by
building up the system and supporting its
delicate nerve parts with Paines celery
compound.
Paine's celery compound restores vitality
to tired nerves; it feeds every tissue of the
body when unusual waste has reduced the
weight and strength of the body, as is fire.
quently the case at the close of the heated
season. 1t gives new appetite and keeps
every part of the body, nerves and blood
so well nourished that the nervous, ex-
hausted, tired, run down" feeling from
worry and hard work soon disappears.

the mine for several months, left for the
East last week. supposedly for the pur-
pose of listing the shares of the new
company upon the Boston Stock Ex-
change.
A number of English capitalists have
been negotiating the purchase of the
mine for number of years, but they were
of the opinion that $4,000, which at that
time was the price asked for the mine, was
an exorbltant figure.
A 2O-stamp mill has been running for
several months on the property, and the
monthly yield has been steadily increas-
ing, which proved that the statement
made that all mines on the mother lode
increased in richness as depth was ac-
quired is not all based upon theory.
The capital stock of the new corporation
aggregates 100000 shares, OF a par value of
$50 each.
The App mine, which at the present
time is promising piece of property, will
also be listed upon the Boston Stock Ex-
change as soon as it has developed the fact
that it is a paying property.

MUST BOW TO THE MAYOR,
How THE DOLLAR TAX LEVY CAN
BE MADE TO MEET ALL
EXPENSES.

WITHIN THE LINES LAID

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, !
9OS Broadway, Oct. 25.

908 Broadway, Oct. 25.
The approval of the dollar-tax levy by
Mayor Davie, instead of the expected veto,
proved great surprise to the Council, and
will have material effect on the finances
of the current fiscal year, as the original
estimates have been reduced about one
fourth.
The levy estimate by the heads of de-
paItments aggregated $946,35 The Audi
tor reduced these estimates SILT $50, to
bring the aggregate within the limit fixed
by law. The Council farther reduced the
Auditors estimate $50, $685. but proposed a
tax levy which would place this amount in
the general fund for general improve
ments The Mayor reduced the Councils
estimate $50, 7O5 ($226,9 19 lower than the
estimates by heads of departments) and
recommended a tax lew of 50 cents for all
expenses of the city. except for bond re-
demption and interest, or total tax levy
OF 81.
Auditor Snow, who is to Oakland's city
government what Clerk Russell is to the
San Francisco Board of Supervisors, says
that it is possible to run the city on the
Mayors allowance. "In order to prevent
a deficit at the end of the present fiscal
year" SAID the Auditor to-day, "not a
single thing that the Mayor has tabooed
must be undertaken. If any of them are
contracted for there will be just that much
deficit Each member of the Council, each
School Director and each city official is
bound by his oath OF office to keep within
his appropriation. They must conform
entirely to the figures of the Mayor and
must bury all individual desire in the
matter of finances. If they do this, the
dollar limit will prove sufficient but !
have no idea that they will"

SUBMITS THREE SITES FOR THE
NEW WILMERDING
SCHOOL.
PLEASED THE COMMITTEE
OTHER COUNTIES ACTIVELY AT
WORK TO CAPTURE THE
SCHOOL.

E. A. Denicke, Alfred Bowler, Hugo D.
Keil and J. Richard Freud, constituting
the subcommittee upon the W1lmerding
Scholastic, appointed by the various COM
mittees from the Mechanics Institute, the
Half-million Club and the Merchants As
ISOLATION, called upon Mayor Sutro yester-
day morning, at his Office at the new City
Hall. The parties at once entered into the
consideration of the aims of the Wilmer
ding School.
Mayor Sutro said he believed it most
philanthropic institution, and that it
would be of incalculable benefit to the
working classes, especially those who
aimed to make living with their hands.
Taking up miniature map of the City of
San Francisco he discussed with the COM
mittee such locations as would be desirable
for such practical school of industrial
arts. He finally showed the committee
three desirable tracts of land that he
owned and which he believed would make
suitable locations for this school.
Mayor Sutro then authorized the COM
mittee to offer to the Board of Regents, at
their next regular meeting, in his name,
sufficient portion of any one of these loca-
tions as would answer the purposes of the
Wilmerding School. He believed that such
an institution should have at least 500
boys. and that undoubtedly there would
be far more than that number who would
gladly avail themselves of it's privileges.
The committee thanked the Mayor for
his generosity. They will offer these sites
in the name of the Mayor to the general
meeting of the various committees before
the final submission of the proposition by
them to the Board of Regents at it's next
regular meeting on November r.
The committee furthermore decided also
to interview John Center and number of
other large landholders in the northern
part of the City with view of getting them
to offer sites. The committee expect to be
able to submit number of sites in this
City to the Board of Regents.
Meanwhile San Jose, Oakland and Ala
media are working indefatigably to offer
enough to capture the school.
1t is understood that the inclination of
the board is in favor of this City under
ordinary circumstances. The sub COM
mittee was very much pleased with the
three offers submitted by Mayor Sutro.
The sites submitted were: Part of block
near the Sunnyside tract or in the neigh
borhood of the House of Correction, a site
south of Golden Gate Park, some distance
west of the site given for the Affiliated
Colleges, and site north of the park, in
Richmond, but close to Point Lobos ave-
nue..

STRUCK BY THE PILOT.
WILLIAM GRAHAM SERIOUSLY
INJURED BY THE ALAMEDA
LOCAL TRAIN.
Two ELECTRIC CARS COLLIDE
WITH A TERRIFIC CRASH
IN THE Foe.

ALAMEDA, Oct. 25.-William Graham,
residing at 921 Rafffoad avenue, was
struck by the broad-gauge local train this
morning at the curve near Prospect street
and Railroad avenue and sustained in
juries which may prove fatal. He was
walking along the track as the 10 o'clock
train from the mole was approaching
Mastick station. The engineer blew the
whistle and made desperate effort to stop
the train by applying the airbrakes and
reversing the engine.
Graham was struck, however, by the
pilot and thrown to one side. His left
ankle was broken and an ugly cash cut
on the top of his head. Passengers were
alarmed by the sudden stopping of the
train and one OF the first to alight was
Henry NJ. Graham, son of the unfortunate
man and night operator of the Western
Union telegraph office, San Francisco.
The injured man was placed upon the
train and brought to Park street and taken
TO his home.
Electric Road Collision.
A collision occurred this morning on the
electric road about o'clock near the
switch on this side of Webster-street
bridge. The fog was very heavy along the
marsh, and the motormen could see only
short distance ahead of them. This, with
an error of Judgment, was the cause OF the
wreck, which, however, did not result
seriously TO any of the passengers. Car
II attempted to reach the switch, and,
being behind time, was running about
twenty miles an hour. Car Is was also
under a high rate of speed when the crash
came. There were three passengers on the
car coming to Alameda and five on the
other car, and they were scattered about
The glass fronts and windows were
smashed. Mrs. Probst was the only one
injured. Her right cheek was cut and she
tainted from fright. She was taken to her
home on Webster street. The motormen
escaped with few bruises.

and literary club of the university, made
up of men in junior and senior standing,
had their annual running of new candi-
dates to-day on the campus. Fourteen

would allow.
