NEWSPAPER ROW
An Important Move Made
by the Hearst
Estate
IN ORDER TO BUILD
Upon the Site of the Nucleus
Building at Third and
Market.
FINE STRUCTURE PROBABLE
Final Arrangements We're Made With
Tenants Yesterday to Give Up
Their Leases.

The tenants in the Nucleus building
on the southeast corner of Third and
Market streets have reached an under
standing with Edward II. Clark, the local
agent OF the Hearst estate, to surrender
their leases and to vacate the building be-
fore January l, 1897.
Negotiations have been progressing to
this end for some time, but the matter was
not finally concluded with all of the
tenants until yesterday. Most of the
tenants had leases and several of these
were due to run one year longer. The
location being fine one for business the
tenants of the stores especially were 10th
to move. They have been finally per-
suaded and several tenants said last even
ing that they had received notice that they
were expected to move out by January L.
From this they inferred that the last OBJ
lection to surrender of leases had been
overcome and that the persIstency with
which the agent of the Hearst estate has
followed up this matter, undou btedly at
the instance of Mrs. Hearst, indicates a
desire to make long contemplated and ex-
tenslye improvements on the site.
ut looks to me-" said one of the ten
ants, that this move must be
preliminary to turning this corner
into a part of sort of Prinung-house
square or Newspaper row. Of course the
agent has not told any of us what is up.
l know that the impression is general
among the tenants that the Hearst estate
is in hurry.
ITO expedite our movements terms for
relinguishing our leases have been offered
which must have been satisfactory to the
tenants or they would not have been ac-
cepted. Therefore it is plain enough that
the owners of the property must have
been willing to pay as bonus a consider
able sum In the aggregate to be free to go
ahead and demolish this building and to
build, in addition to the income for one
year which is surrendered.
ut is not reasonable to suppose that
anything less than extensive improve
ments are in mind. We have finally come
10 an understanding to-day, and I think
that others finally closed to-day"
Mrs. Hearst was not in the City last
night, being at her residence in the
country.
The construction of another large news
paper building on Market and Third
streets, directly opposite the new building
OF THE CALL will make very noteworthy

center the chief newspaper activity in a
comparatively small area. If the plans
which the Hearst estate management has
in view have been formulated they have
not been in shape to make public, but
here is no doubt that the new building
to be erected will be fine one and worthy
of its surroundings.

ENORMOUSLEAO PRODUCT
Big Showing of the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan and Other
Idaho Mines.
F. w. Bradley On the Need of Pro.
lection in Ceur d'Alene-Produces
0ne.Fourth of Our Lead.

+. W. Bradley, superintendent of the
noted Bunker Hill and Sullivan nine at
Wardner, Idaho, is at the Palace. This is
the mine of which John Hays Hammond
was general manager and v NJ. Clement
superintendent, both of whom have become
widely known in connection with South
Africa.
The Bunker Hill and Sullivan is in the
famous Cpur a Alene district Although
1t was for long time generally spoken of
as silver mine it is great producer of
lead. The silver amounts to little COM
pared with the lead and so important is
the Coeur d'Alene district in its output
that it produces one-fourth of all the lead
in the United States. This statement,
when the celebrity of the Galena and
Joplin lead mines is thought of, is sur
prise, but Mr.. Bradley AYERS that it is true
zone thing that concerns the miners of
Northern Idaho. therefore," he said, lis
the duty on lead, for the SLOGAN country,
Immediately north in British Columbia,
is a heavy producer of lead and without a
duty, on it 1t would compete with our lead
and lower wages.
Under the Mckinley bill there was a
duty of two cents pound on lead. This
was taken off and then there was strug.
gle to get lead protected again. 1t was
finally done by the Wilson bill by laying
one cent pOunQ duty on afgentifer0uS
lead, and three-quarters of a cent on pig
lead This suits us pretty well. There is
a smelter at Pilot Bay on Kootenai Lake,
B. c., and we get little pig lead from
there.
LEAD has been as low as 81 80, but it is
now worth 50 60. We are mining from
the Bunker Hill and Sullivan about 600
tons of ore day. This ore, when we have
concentrated it, runs IS per cent of lead
and 26 Oer cent in silver
"There is a good deal of interest in
politics in Idaho. l suppose there is no
doubt that Bryan will carry the State, but
there are not near so many Bryan men
there now as when he was nominated.
There were twenty-seven Mckinley men
in the Republican State Convention in q
total OF forty-hve. Senator Schoup is doing
some hard campaign work for Mckinley,
mainly by circulating literature. The
Republicans are rot making many
speeches. There are but two Republican
newspapers in all Idaho, all the rest being
for Bryan. The two for Mckinley are the
Boise Statesman and the Ceur d'Alene

he company has wisely refrained

the company has wisely refrained
from making display merely
of lights. Instead there is shown some
comps paratively new methods of applying g
electricity in practical, every day life, and
this portion of the display foreshadows
some of the great things that are certain
TO be accomplished by electric power in
the near future.
For instance, there are to be seen in the
display a variety OF cooking devices as
we'll as electric heaters. These are all of
course operated by the turning of a key
which turns on the current, and the view
ing of these few devices gives rise to
thoughts of the day when electricity shall
be able to accomplish so many wonders
that what are now deemed burdens and
labors in life shall be lightened by turn
ing key that sends an electric current to
do the work. These cooking and heating
devices are just coming into use, and it
will probably not be many years before
electricity will be as much used for such
purposes as it is for lighting to-day.
in such event 1t is gratifying to know
that San Francisco has company fully
equipped and capable of supplying the
City with all electric power that may be
required for all purposes whatever. The
Edison Company has one of the most
complete plants in the country and it is
capable of being enlarged to any extent
that the demands may require.
1t is the intention of the publisher OF
the California Fruit-Grower to illustrate
leading features of the fair in that
journal in order to demonstrate to readers
at a distance the growth of the home
product sentiment.

INJURED BY THE CARS.
Two Children, a Boy and a Girl, Mar
rowIy Escape Being Crushed
to Death

Two children, a boy and girl, had a
narrow escape yesterday from being IA
tally injured by the electric cars.
Yesterday morning Bryant-street car
colllded with one of the Cascade Laundry
wagons at Twenty-sixth and Alabama
streets. Charles Burgess, a bov 10 years
of age, was seated on the dashboard of the
wagon at the time and was knocked under
the wheels of the car. He was dragged
out IN limp condition and it was thought
that he was seriously injured. He was
sent to his home, on Serpentine avenue
and Bryant streets, and Dr. Mclaughlin
was summoned. The doctor found that
no bones were broken and that the boy
was only slightly injured.
The other accident occurred to Mary
Bowen, girl 10 years of age, who lives at
1902 Mission street. She was crossing
Mission street at Fifteenth yesterday af-
ternoon and was knocked down by car
She was, fortunately, knocked off the
track and escaped with wounds in her
scalp, caused by the fall. She was taken
to her home and medical assistance sum-
moned.

PROPOSED CHANGES IN SYNOD.
The Trustees of the First Congrega-
tional Church Are Still Deter
mined TO Resign.

Some surprises will be developed this
week when the M. E. conference at Pacific
Grove makes known the changes in the
pastorates of the various churches. For
instance, the we'll informed are already
aware that Rev. DR.. Goodwin of the Cali
fornia-street NJ. E. Church and Rev.
Thomas Fllben of the First NJ. E. Church
will both go to fresh fields and pastures
new.
DR.. Goodwin's departure will be a great
surprise, as it is not two years since be
came from Chicago to take charge of the
California-street Church.
The reasons which have made the Off
cial board pass resolutions declaring that
a change of pastor would be for the good
of the church are not of sudden growth,
however. In fact, there has been a certain
strained feeling between DR.. Goodwin and
his flock ever since the conference of a
year ago. At that time DR.. Goodwin had
only been about six months in the church
and as he was giving satisfaction his flock
sent down delegates to make application
for him to be continued in the pulpit.
''To their SURPRISE" said a prominent
member of the congregation last night
''these delegates learned at Pacific Grove
that DR.. Goodwin wes making application
to be put into the Southern Conference.
There did not appear to be any complaint
coming on the pastors side-his salary
had been paid regularly-but he has
married daughter in Los Angeles, which
may have accounted for his desire to go
into the Southern Conference. Anyway,
the delegates were disappointed to find
that their going TO the Grove had frus-
trated their pastors plans and this year
resolved not to mako the
mistake.
"a few weeks ago Dr. Goodwin was
asked whether he desired to Join the
Southern Conference, and as he did not
give any definite answer the official board,
at its last meeting, passed resolutions de-
string the pastors removal"
1t is already semi-otficially known that
DIR. Good wins successor will be Rev. DR..
Phelps OF San Luis Obispo. 1t Is the de-
sire of the Methodist denomination to
build up the California-street church, as
the locality is considered very desirable
one.
DR.. Phelps is considered to be Just the
man for the position.
AT Pasadena his church was the leading
one OF his denomination in the commun-
ity, and by his energetic work and the
eloquence of his sermons he more than
treoled the number of his flock. Dr.
Phelps will come to San Francisco velv
highly indoTsed by Bishop Foss, who has
known him well for years.
1t has been no secret for some time that
Rev. Thomas Filben will probably 90 to
the University OF the Pacific in an official
capacity. To make security more sure,
however, it is generally understood that
, the congregation of the First M. E. Church
has expressed to the presiding elder the
opinion that change of pastor would be
for the benefit of all concerned.

McMlllan's address is being looked for
ward to by his Presbyterian brethren with
a good deal of interest.
One OF the most important questions to
be brought up before the synod will be
the question of whether the State Synod
shall become a representative body. At
present its personnel consists of all the
ministers in the State and one elder from
each church. This means about 200 mem
bers, and as the churches are taxed for
traVellng expenses, etc., for all these dele
gates, IL is argued that the expense would
be considerably lessened if each presby-
terry elected one or two members and as
many elders. This would reduce the
synod to about thirty-five mem bers.
