leng es that are now being hurled at Cor
bett by fighters who have long since been
declared past numbers. Every pugilist

approaching election, for which they will be
duly compensated by the City.
The coming general election on November 3
is of special significance to the present and
future of our City The question OF the adop-
ton of new charter for San Francisco Will
then be decided. 1t is therefore highly i'm
portent that competent and reliable clerks
and watchers be stationed in the election pre-
cinets, so as to insure correct and prompt
count of the ballots cast. This association has
arranged to cooperate with the Board of Elee-
ton Commissioners in providing as many as
possible of the election clerks from the clerical
force of the business community.
You are therefore, earnestly and urgently
requested to have one or more OF your clerk
serve in that capacity; and fill out the election
blanks sent to you by the Election Commits
sioners. If you have already done so, please
send duplicates of the same Immediately to
this office. If you have not yet complied with
the request of the Election Commissioners,
please do so at once and forward duplicates TO
this Office.
Any further information that you may desire
will be cheerfully furnished in pers on or by
letter upon application to the office OF the
Merchants Association.
You are, no doubt, aware that at the last
election grave frauds were perpetrated at the
ballot-box, which this association will en-
deavor to prevent. For this, as well as the
foregoing reasons, we hope that you will give
this very important matter your prompt atten-
ton,

the East tomorrow. Miss Harriet Mills
is still lecturing in Hum boldt County and
expects to stir up suffrage wave in Del
Norte County before September. Miss
Anthony will remain here all summer,
with occasional trips to interior towns.
To-day she speaks at Mill Valley.
Mrs. Smith, an ardent suffragist, arrived
here yesterday from Hum boldt County.
She says that the way in which the men,
especially the young men, attended Miss
Shaw's lectures was something quite re-
markable. "For one thing, people adj
mired Miss Shaw's pluck" she said.
There was one occasion that was good
deal cited. Through some mistake in the
date, when Miss Shaw and the other speak
ers arrived at Fortuna they found no one
to welcome them and no hall taken for
them to lecture in. Did they give up?
Not a bit of it. They took hall right
away and hired boy to go round with
bell, calling 'Woman's suffrage meeting
tonight The hall was crowded and
Fortuna got suffrage before the lecturers
left"
Senator MCGOWAN of Humboldt County
has announced his intention of stumping
the State for suffrage this fall, however
the fortunes of politics may treat him per-
sonally.

WIDOWS ARE HIS BANE.
Edward Bartsch Arrested on Charge
of Insanity and Released on His
Own Recognizance.

Edward Bartsch, manager of the Kirk
wood Hard Rubber Company, was ar
rested yesterday morning charged with
being insane. He was taken before Judge
Hebbard and his examination was con-
tinued till tomorrow morning. Attorney
Davis later procured his release by Judge
Slack on his own recognizance.
Bartsch declares that the charge of in
sanity is simply continuation of a sys-
TEN of persecution to which he had for
years been subjected from Mrs. A. L..
Childs, widow of Sacramento.
sin 1885" said Bartsch, II entered into
partnership with Jacob Hoehn of Sacra-
mento for the manufacture of patent,
Hoehn paying in $4,000 for half interest.
Hoehn died in 1890 and his widow sold
one-half of her interest to Mrs. Chiids for
$4,000. The business did not pay and Mrs.
Hoehn put into 1t the $4,000 she received
from Mrs. Childs. Then Mrs. Childs sued
Mrs. Hoen in Judge Catlin's court for the
$4,000 and judgment was given against
her. Since then she has been trying to
injure me in every possible way.
II have been unfortunate with widows.

AMADOR COUHTY'S
MINING ACTIVITY.
Work Is Resumed on a
Mine Which Has Paid
Handsomely.
UNION CONSOLIDATED.
Immense Bodies of Ore of a
Paying Quality in
Sight.
A PERFECTLY EQUIPPED MINE.
They Are Now Sinking the Shaft to a
Depth of One Thousand
Feet.
A PERFECTLY EQUIPPED MINE
They Are Now Sinking the Shaft to a
Depth of One Thousand
Feet

Amador County is advancing rapidly to
the first place among the gold-producing
sections of the State, and, singular as it
may seem, this section of the great gold
belt, though having yielded millions of
dollars worth of the precious metal, is still
in its infancy as quartz-mining region.
In the early fifties, and up to within a
recent period, the miners of Amador
County confined their operations to placer
mining principally, and not until the now
famous Kennedy and Zeile mines aston
ished the mining experts of this ana
European countries, did the people of
Amador realize that within its confines
was more wealth contained than its most
visionary citizen ever dreamed of.
Then commenced system of deep min
ing which is developing this class of prop
erty not only on the mother lode, but in
some insta noes miles away from the parent
lode.
One of the remark able instances of that
fact is the Union Consolidated, formerly
known as the Clinton Consolidated. This
property is situated eight miles southeast
from Jackson, toward the Volcano district.
Some years ago more than a quarter of
a million dollars worth of gold was taken
from LDlS InIIoi dlLuOuSH al CudI Ilme IL
hal not reached the 300 level. Re-
Gently the mine has been purchased by
practical mining men and material addi-
tions to the working capacity of the plant
has been the result.
During the period that the property re-
manned idle water filled the shaft to the
200-foot level, and as the main shaft is
down to distance of $50 feet it required
some expenditure to relieve the shaft;
but, with the perfect pumping appliances
now in use, as large as any on the coast, it
only required ten days to get the mine in
WORKING order.
A tunnel 400 feet in length taps the
shaft at the 200-foot level, and at the
level of 800 feet two drifts, one of 30 and
one of $50 feet, extend on either side of
the shaft, and an immense body of ore is
in sight, ore which has averaged from $13
to $40 per ton.
When the main tunnel reaches the shaft
at depth of 200 feet it is the intention of
the company to pump all water from the
lower levels into this tunnel and thereby
send the surplus water about 1900 feet
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-06-28

from the shaft. The equipment of this
mine is most thorough. The hosting en-
CINE, of the most improved pattern, is
from the Risdon Iron Works, while the
pumping engine is an Erie.
Both of these are operated by water OBJ
tanned from the Volcano ditch, but a short
distance away. This water is afterward
utilized to furnish power for the air COM
pressor, thus economizing as far as is
practical. The air compressor, thus set
in motion by the surplus waste of water
from the main shaft, is capable of running
three machine drills. These drills have
been started, and work in sinking will not
stop until the 1000 level has been reached.
Over 100000 has been expended in the
Union, but that is a small sum compare
lively with what is in sight. There is
now thirty-stamp mill in operation and
another of like capacity will be erected
soon. This fact alone bespeakS an I'M
plicit faith in the future of the Union, so
far as the company is concerned. With
sixty stamps from 40 to 200 tons OF ore
may be crushed daily.
The nine-inch pump, connected with
twelve-inch column, is capable of keeping
the mine dry under any circumstances.
1t is run by ten-foot Pelton water-wheel
fed from the ditch with fall of 1856 feet.
Thirty-fve men are now at work In the
Union, and there is no doubt but that
double that number will soon be needed.
As an illustration of the faith of the
stockholders in this mine, one has but to
look at the perfect equipments and the
commodious quarters designed for the
comfort of the employees. The superin-
tendent's residence, in close proximity
to the main works. is a substantial and
coy home. presided over by one of the
women who make mems fortunes.
Then there are tenement-houses fitted
up with view toward the comfort and
convenience of the married operatives and
large and convenient boarding house
capable of accommodating sixty men for
the single ones.
The Union Consolidated Company owns
900 acres of patented land, and the ledge
now Ill sight is not the only one which in
all probability will be struck, as another
tunnel is being pushed in another dlrec-
ton with every prospect of running into
a new body of pay ore.
1t is these vast bodies of low-grade ore,
almost limitless and always paying, which
are fast acquiring for Amador County
reputation which might be envied by any
mining section in the world.
A chlorination works, tim ber-yard, adj
joining the shaft building, and a large
blacksmith-shop completes as fine an
equipment as could be required for the
successful operation of any mine in the
State.

NEW MUNICIPAL BUILDING
Drillroom to Be Located
in the Base
ment.
Other Changes Recommended by
the Committee of the
Supervisors.

Important changes will be made in the
plans for the new municipal building to
be erected on the old City Hall site. Chief
of Police Crowley and Architect Frank
Shea were heard yesterday forenoon at a
meeting of the Municipal Building Com
mittee of the Board of Supervisors
The subject of locating the drillroom
and the dormitories for the police on the
basement floor was discussed IN the pres
ence of Supervisors Benjamin, Wagner,
Hirsch and King.
1t appeared from the discussion that the
drillroom. if located on the upper floor,
would interfere with the business of the
courts and the departments below as it
would be impossible to entirely deaden
the sound of a large body OF men drilling.
It was argued that the vibration would
cause damage to the buildin ,, notwith-
standing all precautions, while the location
of the prison in the basement would be
undesirable by reason of the odor arising
from the kitchen.
The location of the prison on the upper
floor would allow of proper ventilation and
be an advantage to the safe keeping of the
persons therein confined, while the loca-
ton of the drillroom and dormitories in
the basement would permit the force to be
ready for immediate service, which would
not be the case if located on the upper
floor
The Chief of Police informed the com
mittee that in the municipal building of
Philadelphia the prison was located on the
upper floor and IN his opinion it was d
good idea and worthy of trial.
Mr.. Shea told the committee that it
would take four weeks time to prepare
proper plans and specifications. In order
to carry out the intention of the board and
the wishes of property he would
work day and night to complete the task.
AS the buildings to be erected are for
the police and several departments and
also for public Morgue and must be let
in one contract bidders must specify
sum for which the same can be con-
structed. 1t was the expressed intention
of the architect to have the buildings COM
pleted in ten months time from the day
of signing the contract.
The committee decided to recommend
that the Board of Supervisors should at
once direct the architects to make the
changes in the plans as above suggested.
The new plans may also contain more
spacious and convenient entrance on Mer-
chant street, as business men and others
east of Kearny street and south of Wash
ington will prefer to enter the hall on
Merchant street rather than walk around
to Kearny and Washington streets.

TO SAVE CITY LOTS.

Mayor SutrO Advises That Correct
Survey Be Made at Once.
Mayor Sutro has sent a communication
to the Board of Supervisors stating that
the records of the Surveyors Office show
that in block 6, New Potrero, there are
some City lots. According to a diagram
sent to the Mayors office at the request of
the acting Mayor, c. L. Taylor. the west
ern boundary of such lots intersects the
northern line of Fifteenth street. 1t fur
ther appears that on the easterly side of
Harrison street a private owner or claim
ant has erected a fence lnclosing a yard.
1t is suggested that the City and County
Surveyor should at once be directed to
make a correct survey to protect the City
interests.
