THE JUNTA'S PROGRESS.
Last Evening 1t Began Getting
the Names of Sup
nnrforC

The Junta made start in its work of
enrolling club members in the various dis
tricts last evening. The rolls were open
at the appointed places in the various dis
tricts from s to 10P.M. But few of the dis
tricts reported the results at headquarters
last night The following reports were re-
ceived: Twenty eighth district, 1875:
Twenty-ninth, IL; Thirtletb, 145; Thirtv
first, II; Thirty-seventh, %; Forty-frst
265; Forty-third 140; Forty-fourth, 125
Forty-fiith SO.
The Forty-frst District, which compare.
lively did so well, is Ed Lanigan's. Yes
terday and last evening many Buckley
district workers exerted themselves in
some districts to keep the boys from en-
rolling for the anti-Bucklev primary.
The enrolment secured during the three
evenings when the tolls will be open at
appointed places is to be but the start.
Single sheets for names are ready and will
be given out Monday to all the $50 men,
pers OF the junta's general COM
mittee and to other friends. Then
there will begin systematic house-to-
house, and place-to-place canvass fer
names, which will be continued persist
emily and indefinitely. Everybody who
can be induced to sign the anti Buckley
rolls will be secured, and by this novel
method it is expected that big show OF
names will be secured in which to base
claims that the Junta is the real party.

COLONEL sPERRY MAD.
He Wanted to Fight When the Govern
or's Staff Called for an As
easement.

Colonel George Sperry, son of the wealthy
miller of Stockton, has ''got himself dis
liked" among his fellow-colonels on Gov
ernor Budd's staff. 1t all occurred over a
question of assessment.
Last Monday night General Warfeld
had his troops out for review before the
Governors staff on Van Ness avenue.
After the review the officers partook of
General Warfield's hospitality.
During the evening prior, at least, to the
time When the wine, wit and hnmor were
uncorked at the banquet board, motion
was made to assess each m Der of the
Governors staff 500 to go into a common
fund TO be used as occasion might require.
These occasions are funerals, special turn.
outs, etc.
Colonel George objected to the hundred
dollar assessment. He seemed to think
that the money contributed by the mem
bers of the staff went for too much wine.
He protested with an EN- phasis not to be
mistaken.
Another colonel. who thought differ
entity, took umbrage at his forcibly ex-
pressed views on the subject, and some
one wanted to fight. Colonel George
painted for willing subject on which to
expend the superfuity of his pent-up
wrath. He did not begrudge the hundred
dollars, but he was unwilling to contribute

staff under Governor Markham he had

A series of protests followed. Colonel
George wanted to fight, and there were
others present willing to accommod ate
him. They rose to the occasion and so
did Colonel George. Other colonies had a
reputation for military valor to yindicate
and they. too, rose to the occasion and pre-
vented the fists of Colonel George and
those OF other colonies from finding land
ing places On one anothers noses.

SUNSET DISTRICT GRADES
Property Owners Complain Of
the Sewerage of the
Locality.
Supervisors Are Petitioned to Grant
Relief and Improve Sanitary
Conditions.

The residents OF the Sunset District,
south of the park, are preparing for a
crusade against the condition of the
streets in that locality, and have petitioned
the Board of Supervisors, through A. B.
Spreckels, to aid them in attaining better
condition OF affairs. Among other matters
the petition says:
To the Honorable Board of Saperuisors-GEN-
TLEMEN: We, the undersigned property-own-
ers OF Sunset District. situate, lying and being
south OF Golden Gate Park, most respectfully
address your honorable board in support of
the petition already presented by said district
Ior the establishment OF grades and sewerage
system.
The storm-water from the hills OF the San
Miguel rancho destroys the streets, property
and homes OF said district and the sewerage
from the Almshouse endangers the health of
Its inhabitants.
Large inland lakes of fifteen feet depth are
formed by this sewage, which dry up during
the summer, and the poisonous vapors arising
from them poison the atmosphere.
While we agree with his Honor the Mayor
that il would be a waste of money to make sur
Veys for the establishment of grades and O.
sewerage system IN the drifting and unin-
habited sanddunes before they are made sta
tlonary through the planting of grass, we can
not see why he should oppose the relief asked
Tor by the residents and property-oWners OF
sunset District, which is stationary and built
upon, and which would rival Richmond on the
north side OF Golden Gate Park if relief was
granted.
The Mayor takes but little interest in the
welfare of this district, but great many
property-owners dare not build until relief is
granted. -
Blocks are graded but cannot be finished as
the storm-water will destroy the work done
Statements have been made 10 committees of
the Board OF Supervisors that the large
property-owners were all against this improve
ment OF the district, and only small owners
asked for relief. The only opposition we know
OF comes from owners Of big holdings in the
sanddunes, of which Mr. Sutro is one, who
may think it of more advantage to them to
make US wait until they ready to proceed.
1t may be that the majority of your petition
ers are small owners, but they believe them
selves to be in the United States of America.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Dec. 5.-Alonzo NJ. l..

TRIED At SANTA ROSA,
Suit Against Mrs. Morris
TO Quiet Title to Valu-
able Property.
DURANGO MEXICO MINE.
Defendant Held an Interest by
Right From Her Former
Husband.
HELD IN TRUST FOR PLAINTIFF
Mark Birmingham Of New York
Claims That He Was the Ac-
tual Owner.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, Dec. "a suit to
quiet title in one twenty fourth interest
in the Candelaria mining property, stu
ated in the State of Durango, Mexico, was
tried in the Superior Court here to-day.
Mark Birmingham of New York City,
known up to 1890, as Mark Brumagin, was
the plaintiff, and Mrs. Lulie W. Morris,
who, by q former marriage, was the wife
of Joseph G. Rice, now deceased, was
defendant.
Birmingham. in his affidavit, says that
the name "Brumagin" is shortened ex-
preston of birmingham" and was used
by him for convenience. He is a we'll
known mining man OF New \ ork, posses
sing extensive and valuable interests in the
Durango mining region. Rice was en-
ployed by Birmingham as q mining expert,
and was also superintendent of the Durango
Mining Company. In both the Durango
and Candelaria mining companies Biz
mingham was director and heavy stock
holder. The original concession of the
Candelaria mine was granted to Don Jose
Nincente de La Veaga and his brother, Don
Miguel de La Veaga.
In May, 1868, these brothers transferred
twenty-three twenty-fourths of the prop
erty to two Americans, Burson and Green,
and reserved one twenty fourth interest,
which is known as bara aviada or non-as-
sessabIe share. Two months later Burson
and Green sold their twenty-three twenty
fourths interest to the Durango Mining
Company. Birmingham urged the other
members OF the Durango Company to pur,
chase the remaining share held by the La
Neagas, which they offered to sell for
$4,000. An option was secured by the Du-
range Company, but it failed to put up the
money and the deal fell through. After
the time OF option expired Rice, in his pri-
vate capacity as birmingham expert,
purchased the share in question for Biz
mingham for the sum of $500 and held the
same in trust for Birmingham, but in his
own name. Birmingham held this inter-
est till 1890, when he sold it TO the Durango
and Candelaria Mining Company, a con-
solidation OF the two concerns.
Rice died in 1872. This twenty-fourth
interest has stood in his name up to the
present time, though the deed was held by
Birmingham. Rice's wife since married
man by the name of Morris and resides at
Aqua Caliente, Souona County. She cor
roborated the statements made in Biz
mingham's affidavit, which was sent on
here from New York in charge OF his
brother. D. ". Birmingham, a New York
attorney. Judge Dougherty, before whom
the case was tried has not vet rendered
his decision. .
