change, which having been fostered by the
silver excitement continues to operate in such
properties. -
The time has come when San Francisco, the
parent city of gold mining, should have a
medium OF exchange for the benefit of the gold
nelds on this coast, that Will command the
confidence OF the people,
We haye IN this State what is called the
smother lode,' body. of quartz stretching
from Mariposa County, up aud into Ell Dorado
County, a strip sixty miles in length and from
one to three miles in width, containing in
mum erable quartz bodies and lodes, which are
almost and comparatively uEdeveleped.
Ore ranges from 81 per ton TO $1,000, and l
venture to say, with less than 1000 stamps in
operation, we ought to have 10000 stamps
dropping on ore in this State, and in ten years
that numberwill be- in operation, unless the in
dustry be throttIed. j.: .
Mining is carriedon in nearly every county
In the State, and quartz hedges outside the
"mQther lOde'' abound,
+: There are, all told, $500 stamps now drop
ping in the several localities, and there ought
to be quadruple that number.
:. Mining Is different from every other busi-
/: ness. It's legitimate and admits OF nocompe-
ttlon. Gold is where you find it, and it be-
longs to him that has the courage to develop
his property 1t is simply a question OF outgo
IN expenses and income to be derived from the
l=quartz. : -.

changes, and the traffic in mines and mining
:shares1s assuming large proportions.
1.-The need Of. an exchange here has been. felt.
Already the Iron. Mountain mine of Shasta,

700 men the Pioneer OF Placer County, EN-

TO: WRECK THE CARS.
Evidence the Police Desire Against the
Alleged Ingleside Electric Car
Robbers.

The Police Department. is depending
greatly on the IngEeside Electric-car Com
pany for a most. valuable piece of evil
dence. One OF the motormen in their en-
ploy notified Police Officer Stoddard on
the day after the robbery Of the racetrack
funds that he. had that morning discoy-
cred where the robbers of the night pre-
vious had drawn the spikes from the rails
and had placed the latter on such an in.
secure foundation that any car drawn that
way must necessarily be derailed if act
upset. -.
Captain Lees Chief Crowley, Detectives
Gibson and Cody, the principalsin the mn
earthing OF the robbery and arrest of Mid
dlemiss, Welch and Gardiner, state that
all their efforts to secure the details of tho
motorman's discovery from the railroad
company have proved futile The do
tectives did not even know of the nj
tempted car-wrecking until so informed
by CALL reporter, for Officer Stoddard
had not thought the matter OF enough i'm
portance to report it to his superiors This
is the officer who failed to report to Ills
captain that he had conveyed MiddlemfSs
into town on the streetcar on the night.of
the Ingleside robbery, leaving the public
to believe for several days that the alibi
the prisoner attempted: to prove was an
improvisation of his own. -: =
The cases of the three men accused
of the robbery will come up: before
Judge Conlan on the 18th inst, when that
magistrate will hold them for trial before
the Superior Court.

SYMPATHY FOR THE boy,
Arnold Meyers Arrested on a
Warrant for Battery Upon
His Uncle.
Judge Low, After Learning His Story,
Releases Him Upon His Own
Reeognizance. -: J..

Arnold Meyers, a bright boy 10 years OF
age, who is employed in the telephone
office on Sutter street, was arrested yester-
day on warrant from Judge Cam pbell S
court charging him with battery. The
warrant was placed in the hands of Police
man James Callinan, and the boy felt so
humiliated and so wretched over his ar
rest on New Years day, when he was ex-
pecting to make a few dollars extra, that
Callinan took him before Sergeant Hough
taling, ::
The boy told the sergeant that he lived
with his mother at S Monroe street, off
BUSH. His father died some years ago.
on his mothers side, Martin Ansohn, 915
Sutter street, who is the complaining wit
ness against him.
a short time ago his uncle got him to
sign paper to. appoint him as his guar
dian. Previous to that his uncle had al
ways treated him kindly, but as soon as
he had signed the paper appointing him
guardian he commenced to treat him quite
dl11ereHtly. He took every occasion TO
beat and kick him without the slightest
cause. He would come into his bedroom
on cold nights, open the window and pull
the clothes off the bed and take them
away.
On Monday his uncle was beating and
kicking him as usual when he thought it
was about time that he began to assert his
manhood and although he is delicate boy
he struck back at his uncle and that was
why he had been arrested.
Sergeant Houghtaling was so impressed
with the boys story that he determined he
should not nave his New Year s enjoyment
spoiled if he could help it. The warrant
called for $3.50 cash bail or $500 bonds
and as the boy had no: chance of getting
nan with note explaining the bows posi-
ton and asking the Judge to send an order
for the boys release on his own reeog-
nizance.
The Judge sent the order back with Cul-
Imam with note that he was only too
happy to be in a position to set the boy
free on New Years day and the boy went
ON his way rejoicing.
