Against these objects the silver

would have Jared much better off in

says the election OF the next United

some extent, be involved in this issue,
as twenty mem ers of the State senate,

over and vote for one two years from

candidate, and unless the question shall
have been settled by that time. 1t ia

Fitz Lee will be the sound money can.

structions and full authority fro n the De-
partment of Justice to begin them, though
| am not at liberty to divulge the contents
of Inc letter containing this information.
The letter was not signed by the Attorney
General himself, but by Holmes Conrad,
who was then acting Attorney-General
and who is now Solicitor General, and
who on that occasion wrote for the Attor-
ney-General. 1t is probable that the At
torney-General has not examined the files
to see whether this letter was written or
not.

matter was heard before Judge McKenna,

see my authority and instructions for
bringing the intervention suit, as he had a
right to do under the Throckmorton deci-
sion, being a party to the suit, and l sub
mitted the letter to him and to two OF his
associates in the case, Judge Hayne and

when Attorney-GeneralF Fitzgerald SUBJ
sequently went into court he stated that
he had seen this letter of instructions, the
contents OF which, however. were not at
that time divulged."
From another source Mr.. Foote'S state
ment regarding the letter of instructions
was fully confirmed. 1t was learned that
the letter bore date of November Z, 1895,
and was of considerable length, but that
one clause was admitted to convey explicit
instructions to act in the matter. This
clause, as remembered by the gentleman
from whom the foregoing facts were OBJ

Lode Has Been Incor.
porated.
KENNEDY MEN SHAREHOLDERS.
Another Abandoned Mine of Early
Days That Promises Big
Returns.

A deal has lately been made that means
the opening up of another big bullion
producer on the mother lode.
DR.. Thomas Boyson, one of the largest
stockholders of the Kennedy and one of
the men who put big fortune into that
mine before ton Of ore was crushed, has,
with several of the shareholders OF the
Kennedy, formed a corporation for work
ing the Pioneer at Plymouth, in Amador
County, which he has been handling alone
for several years. The 500 and 600 foot
levels will be opened up Immediately. The
history of the Pioneer is similar to that of
the Kennedy. 1t was opened early in the
SOS by Mr.. Hooper, whose sons are now
leading lum bermen in this City, and was
worked down below the drain tunnel until
the heavy cost of handling water in those
days and imperfect milling caused its
abandonment. The ore had become richer,
however, as they went down.
When Martin & Ballard started up the
New London mine at Plymouth they gath
cred in all the mines adjoining, including
the Pioneer, which they did not open up.
When they gave up the New London and
went over into Tuolumne County to open
up the now famous Rawhide they sold all
these mines to DR.. Boyson.
In the spring of 1893 DR.. Boyson began
work on the Pioneer and has since ex-
pended large amount of money in devel-
oping it and putting up twenty-stamp
mill. A shaft was sunk TO the 4OO-foot
level equipped with large steam hoist
The ore which has been milled was
partly of high grade, as rich as from the
old workings, but not sufficient to work
alone. In addition to this an extensive
ledge of low-grade ore came il on the 300
foot level, when did not pay for milling
but on the 400-foot level everything taken
out went to the mill.
In all these operations DR.. Boyson had
spent large amount of money, and before
the mill began to yield, realizing that the
undertaking had grown too large for one
man to handle. he accepted proposition
last summer to sell the mine to a French
syndicate on short bond. He went over
in October to conclude negotiations, which
were satisfactorily arranged, but between
his departure from Paris and his arrival
here the big panic in the Paris exchange
came on and the ParisianS defaulted in their
payments.
On tie suggestion of some of his old
friends in the Kennedy Company he in
corporated the mine and disposed of one
fourth of the stock to them. The mine is
now being run as a close corporation with
some big names on the board of directors
They are: Ex-Judge John Currie; John
Barton, president of the Kennedy; Louis
Reichling, secretary OF the Kennedy
George Goodman, director in the same
company, and DR.. Thomas Boyson. The
mine is in charge of Robert Robinson, a
we'll known mining engineer.

Incorporation of the Heirs of
One of the Earliest
Pioneers.
FAMOUS IN MINING HISTORY.
Was the Founder of the Hibernia Bank
and Very Charitably Disposed
Mantle Estate.

The heirs of the late deceased capitalist,
John Sullivan, filed letters of incorporation
yesterday afternoon. The property is
capitalized at 81, 600, Oo0. with 10000 shares
at 500 each The articles are signed bv
Francis J. Sullivan, Charles A. Sullivan,
Ada f. Sullivan, Belle Sullivan Turner,
Henrietta Sullivan, Frances V. Sullivan,
Georgia B. Sullivan. Emmett V. Sullivan
and Mary Pigott. All are children of the
late capitalist except Mary Pigott, who has
been their guardian.
The property of the corporation embra ces
valuable land in San Francisco, San Mateo
and Santa Clara counties. 1t preserves
the estate of one of San Francisco's very
early pioneers.
John Sullivan came to California in
1S47 from St. Joseph, Mo-, by way of the
Truckee Pass. He settled in San Fran
cisco and bought real estate. The title
deeds of lis two fifty-varas on the corner
of Pacific and Dupont streets bear the
date of 1916. When gold was discovered
he located at Sullivan's Creek, Tuolumne
County, which rich claim he discovered.
Bancroft states that in one day he made
$4,000 by mining. He opened store at
that place and sold merchandise at fancy
prices. All the profits he invested in San
Francisco real estate. With riches came
benevolence and charity. He was a
devout member of the Catholic church
and gave Literally to it's cause He
assisted materially in building old st.
Francis Church on Vallejo street. He
gave the lot on California street where the
old st. Mary's now stands.
He bought and decided the site of the
present Palace Hotel to the Catholic Or
phan Asylum. He built, as mis- books
show, the old st. Patrick Church for
$4,000. This old church, now known as
Holy Cross Church, stands on Eddy street.
near Scott. To the Presentation Convent
and the Sacred Heart College he con-
tributed literally. A. b. McCreery also
donated five blocks of land part OF the
Perry & Edwards Tract, to Calvary Gene
terry. In fact he was foremost in all chart
table works. Nor did he neglect financial
matters. On April 2, 1859, he organized,
with Robert J. Tobin, William Mccain,
John C. Koran, ID. J. O'Callaghan, Michael
Cody. N. X. Masten, John Mel c. d.
O'Sullivan, James Ross, Edward Martin
and John McHugh, the now celebrated
Hibernia Savings and Loan Society. He
became its first president John McHugh
ce-president, John Mel treasurer and
Richard Tobin attorney. 1t was then a
stock institution, with capital of 100000,
divided into 6000 shares.
If he had done nothing else his name
should be cherished by the people of small
means, as the great institution has been a
rock of safety for depositors from that
time to this. The eldest son is ex-senator
Frank J. Sullivan. After thirteen years
and over as executor of his fathers estate
he relinquished his great trust and the
estate of one OF the very earliest Ct the
pioneers was divided among his heirs-at-
law, to be preserved as above stated in
the Sullivan Estate Company.
