VALLEY ROAD b UILDING.
ReUie,U of Remarkable Progress on the
First Three Assessments.

ReUie,U of Remarkable Progress on the
First Three Assessments.
The directors of the San Francisco and
San Joaquin Valley Railroad met yester-
day. Reports of the rapid progress made
in construc ton and equipment were re-
ceived from the various committees and
departments as progressive, and the di-
rectors expressed themselves as highly
pleased
In few days fourth call on the stock
will be issued to subscribers. With all the
work so far accomplished only 80 per cent
of the total subscriptionhas been called in.
The extra 10 per cent constituting the
fourth call will carry the road almost to
Fresno. With the 80 per cent already paid
in a great deal has been done. The whole
route from Stockton to Bakersfield has
been located finally with the exception of
gap in the vicinity of Visalia and Han
ford, and maps of the engineers lines are
now complete in the office.
Chief Engineer Storey gave an outline
yesterday of what had been done in the
way OF construction.
1--WE have a road now to the Stanislaus
River" said he. This is a line twenty
five miles long. 1t is graded and the rails
are laid, and, besides, there are fully two
miles Of sidetracks laid-in all twenty
seven miles. Now when you have clear
run of twenty-five miles in locomotive,
you begin to feel that you are travelling
over quite railroad.
The track between Stockton and the
river is being covered with sand to con-
serve the bed before the winter rains set
10. Meanwhile the grading camp is quite
distance below the Stanislaus, and the
graders are pushing southwark at lively
rate, so that the road will very soon be
graded to the Tuolumne River.
sTne long and high bridge over the
Stanislaus is pretty well finished. Work
men are driving the piles and piers, while
another large gang is working on the
bridge timbers in the yards at Stockton.
The piling is nearly finished and then the
tim bers will be ready to ship down to the
river and placed in position. The, piling
and trestling over various overflow places
on the completed section, of course, have
been done and the tracks laid over them.
The steel sections for the drawbridge over
Mormon Channel in Stockton are arriving
daily, the piling for the concrete piers and
approaches is assuming shape, so that the
bridge will be up in a short time"
In addition to all this work the COM
pany has several trains. of cars and three
locomotives in commission, immense guam
titles of building material, including ties,
rails, irons, ETC., and several cargoes of
supplies on the ocean between New York
and this port. Two new boarding cars left
San Francisco yesterday for Stockton.
One OF these is a dining and cooking car
for the men, capable OF accommodating

A Kansas Mans Refusal to Pay the
DoLInr A fected The Council.

Dollar Affected the Council.
WICHITA, KANs., Dec. "a. E. Flick
niger, prominent citizen of Burton,
Kans., believing tax of 81 on his puppies
was uniustly assessed, refused to pay the
amount and was sent to Jail. His friends
secured several hundred signatures to
petition to the City Council, asking that
body to repeal the ordinance under which
the tax had been assessed and the penalty
imposed. A special session OF the Council
was held last night and many speeches
were made in support of the petition. The
ordinance was repealed and committee
of business men, armed with an order for
his release, waited on Mr.. Flickinger at the
jail with brass band and escorted him to
the principal hotel, where he was wined
and dined at an elaborate banquet.
Speeches were made extolling the late
prisoner for his heroism in accepting mar
tyrdom for a principle.

Court at Chicago.

arguments i'm the United States District
Court at Chicago.
CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 3.-The case of
Pitt Barrows, who wants Federal court
injunction to prevent the consolidation of
the Chicago gas companies composing the
famous trust, came before Judge Showal-
ter this morning in the United States Dis
trict Court. The morning session was
wholly occupied by the plaintiffs opening
argument, and Attorney Lowery had not
finished when the court took recess. He
continued his argument at the afternoon
session. He said his client was not op-
posed TO any plan which could rehabilitate
the Chicago Gas Company according to
law. The plan which was now in contem-
plation, he asserted, was not such plan.
In it the word consolidate appeared sew
eral times, and such consolidation had
been expressly forbidden by the decree of
the Illinois courts confirmed by the Su-
preme Court. Tomorrow ex-Attorney-
General Hunt will present the case for the
gas company.

PORT WNSEND STRIKE.

Unpaid County Officers Threaten Gem
ernL WdIkOt.t.
PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Dec. s.
The wheels of the county government
came to standstill here to-day when the
Board OF County Commissioners met and
refused to allow claims for county officers
salaries because the Auditor has hereto
fore refused to draw general fund warrants
on the ground that the county has
reached the legal limit OF its Indebtedness.
When the decision of the Comm ission-
ers became known the offices in the
courthouse were locked and abandoned
and all hocked to the Commissioners
room, where the entire afternoon was
spent in a fruitless discussion. Unless
matters are adjusted tomorrow the county
officers threaten to strike.

DENTER BROKERS CONS
Estimates Place the Acreage Daily Sales
of Stocks at Three Million.

DENVER, Colo. Dec. 3.-The trading in
gold stocks on the several Colorado
exchanges was not so heavy to-day under
ruling prices. The slightest advance in bids
resulted in plenty of offers to sell, showing
that holders of stocks purchased last week
are ready to unload whenever a profit can
be made. The high priced gold stocks are
evidently held largely as investments, and
few sales were made at materially advanced
prices. The demand for stocks seems to
be as great as ever and beyond the power
of the brokers to fill.
1t is not possible to obtain accurate
figures as to total sales. Curb sales, Office
sales and those made on the regular calls
are aggregated, and the brokers do not
choose to give correct figures of their daily
transactions. Estimates place the average
daily transactions of all the Colorado
exchanges at 3,000 900 shares.

and specimens sent to various cities show that the ore is about ten per cent tin. The Temascal mines run one and one-half per cent tin. The ore lies in bed, apparently of sew eral hundred acres, and it appears to have slid down mountain. It is mixed with red and yellow oxides, and Is covered with layers of quartz and tale.
 Frank Kuehne will shortly com mence taking out ore from his Sunny South in Yayapai county. It is a Sil- yer property, the ore running up- wards of 200 ounces in silver. MT. Knehne has been allowing it to stand idle as he has not been willing to stand the heavy discount. He has however concluded to work 1t and do the best he can with it. While it will pay to work, even at the present price of silver it would be more gratifA ing to obtain from 80 to 90 cents an ounce for the product.
 Recent storms have furnished an abundance of water in the mountains and the Crowned King mill, .n faya- pal county, which was shut down fer about three months, on acconAt ot lack of water, is now running day and night. During the enforced idleness of the mill the machinery and every thing connected with the mill was placed in thorough repair, and 1t is now in better condition than 1t has ever been. This property is heavy bullion producer whenever it's mill is in operation, and it can be depended on to turn out from s750 to 5000 per day, as long as the water holds out , The water supply has been increased of late and the management hopes now to be able to run the mill regular ly.
