Ready to Compete and Take Paint
ing Contracts.
R. T. McIvor as spokesman for the exec
utive board last night made the following
statement:
While we expected different verdict from
the master painters we are not so very greatly
surprised at their action. 1t was a unanimous
verdict, as I have been informed. However
since they have declared for a battle we will
give them all they want and more, too.
We will hit them q hard blow by entering
into the market with them and making con-
tracts with the property-owners direct. We
will take all unfinished contracts and make
new ones wherever we can at terms that they
cannot meet. We will work for 81 day if neces-
sary, the property-owners furnishing the ma
terial, and we will do better work than was
ever done before.
We have nothing to lose, for we are not max
ing over 81 week on an average, and we have
everything to gain.
AS to our plans for the present we will do
just as we have mapped out-call out all of the
painters in the morning and call meeting of
the Building Trades Council We will invite
10 this meeting representatives of all sympa-
thetic unions in the City.
have no doubt that we can stop all building
work in this City and force the bosses to come
to terms or go out of business altogether.
This verdict by the master painters is not by
them alone. The delay in giving an answer to
us was to enable them to confer with the other
building contractors.
This verdict is the verdict of all the contract
ors, and means nothing but a slap in the face
at the Building Trades Council working-card
system. 1t has reached this point that our
fight is the councils fight, for if we fail they
ers, have everything to gain and nothing to
lose.

MAHONEY WAS UGLY.
The Pugilist and Ex-Fireman Attacks
Theodore Van Buskirk and
Eddie Hanlin.

Daniel Mahoney, pugilist and ex-fre-
man, was arrested yesterday morning by
Policeman F. w. Riley on the charges of
assault with deadly weapon aud battery.
Theodore Van Buskirk, the champion
heavyweight OF the Olympic Club, and
Eddie Hanlin were on their way down
town from their rooms at 1109 Larkin
street wheE they overlook Mahoney at the
corner of Ellis street. Mahoney was in
toxicated, and either purposely or acci-
dentally brushed against Van Buskirk, who
stepped aside. AS he did so Mahoney
pulled a revolver out of his pocket and
fourished it in a threatening manner in
front of Van Buskirk.
Being unarmed, the Olympic Club
champion hastily placed a telegraph pole
between himself and Mahoney This dis
concerted Mahoney and he turned his
attention to Haniin, pushing the barrel of
the revolver against his breast. Hanln
grabbed with him and threw him to the
ground. Van Buskirk then stepped from
behind the telegraph pole and helped
Hanlin hold Mahouey till Policeman Riley
appeared and placed Mahoney under
arrest.
Neither Van Buskirk nor Hanlin seemed
willing to prosecute Mahoney, but upon
the advice of Judge Joachimsen, who was
passing at the time of the arrest. they
changed their minds. They could give no
reason why Mahoney should have shown
a desire to shoot them, as they are ac-
quainted with him.

We are apprehensiye of our own health, and
we find the stencil arising from the pens on

Miners Who Do Not Strike Pay-Dirt
Will Need Help Before the
Season Ends.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, March H.
The steamer Topeka arrived this morning
from Alaska after the most pleasant trip
since last summer, although three feet of
snow on level is reported in Juneau and
Sitka. Among the passengers was Edward
Mcconnell, who is one of party of four
that arrived from the Yukon just in time
to take the steamer for Puget Sound on
business and he will return north on the
same boat, going direct to the Yukon again.
His party brought out an outfit weighing
500 pounds with a sledge and six dogs, and
the mercury during their 900-mile tramp
averaged so degrees below zero. They av-
eraged nearly twenty-four miles day, but
would not care to make the trip again. On
the way out they stopped over night with
the Ogilvie Canadian boundary survey
party, which treated them royalty At
times the mercury went as low as 70 de-
grees.
Mcconnell will take six horses back with
him and establish a packtrain between
Circle City and the diggings. He says the
official census of Circle City is $50 persons,
instead of about 1900 as claimed heretofore.
Mcconnell saws that a Yukon miner
named William Fee and known among
all the miners there as Missouri Bill, "
has made more discoveries than any other
ten men combined, two OF his frds, at
Independence and Deadwood creeks, hav-
ing already yielded over 100000. and
"Bilr' is still climbing over the noun
tains with g pack on his back looking for
new claims. He says the prediction made
by some people that the Birch Greek dig
gings would soon be worked out and that
Circle City would dry up and blow away
sound very funny to an old-timer like
himself. There is now enough in sight to
keep things humming for ten years, and
the surface of the ground has been but
barely scratched in few places.
The number of women wintering at
Circle City this year is sixteen, most of
them being wives of traders or miners.
Those who are single remain so of their
own choice, as It is declared they could
have the pick of the entire camp.
Mcconnell predicts considerable suffer-
ing and hardship among the Yukoners
during the present year. There are only
about forty-fve days when actual opera
tions can be carried on and those who
strike nothing then will be helpless, as the
stores can sell for cash all the supplies on
hand, and they have entered into COM
pact to trust no miners. Wages, however,
run from 81 to $40 a day, teamsters with
their teams getting $25 day. Quotations
are as follows: Flour So per 100 pounds,
bacon 40 cents pound, sugar 20 cents a
pound, beans 10 cents pound, whisky so
cents glass, beer 25 cents glass. A shave
costs so cents and haircut 81.
Captain Healy OF the steamer P. B.
Weare, which was reported in dangerous
position in the ice at the mouth of Porcu-
pine River and liable to be broken up with
the spring thaw, says she could not be in
safer position and will again be in the SER
vice during the coming summer.
The steamer Topeka brought down a
box of bullion valued at $72, 900 from the
Douglas Island mines.

FOUND IN THE BAY.
The Body of an Unknown Man Rescued
From the Deep by Fish
.erman.

Nicholas Sylvania, fisherman, found
the body of man floating in the bay off
Fisherman's wharf yesterday. The Coro-
ner's Office was notified and the body was
removed to the Morgue. The hands were
tied with twine and the pockets of the
dead mans clothing were filled with
stones.
The body was that of man of about so
years of age, feet 10 inches in height
and weighing 100 pounds. The clothing
consisted of dark coat and light trousers.
The body had been in the water some
time, as the features were greatly disfig-
ured. Though the case is somewhat
strange, it is believed that the man COM
mitted suicide. The body was not identi-
fed in the afternoon.
Late last evening G. B. Larkin, who re-
sides at 1124 Howard street, called at the
Morgue and recognized the remains as
those of William Giles, whom he had at
one time employed as a teamster.. He
says that Giles was born in Boston and
was 55 years of age at the time of his death.
Giles had frequently threatened suicide,
and told his friend that in case he was
missing not to worry as he intended to do
away with himself. Mrs. Barker who re-
sides at 300 Capp street, is a sister of de-
ceased. She was Informed by the Coroner
last evening of the death of her brother,
but she refused to have anything to do
with the burial of the body.

VALLEY ROAD FINANCES
Not Single Delinquency in the Call
for the Fifth Assessment on
the Stock

Every dollar levied by the fifth assess
ment ON the stock of the San Francisco and
San Joaquin Valley Railroad Company
has been paid. 1t was call for 10 per
cent of the full amount of the stock issued,
or $244, 900. The assessment was made
payable on the 9th inst. and would become
delinquent on the 26th, but every stock
holder had by yesterday met his obligation.
There has now been paid in just half of
the total amount of the face value of the
stock that has been issued, or 81, 900, 900.
ALI of this has gone to pay for actual con-
struction of the road and part of its equip
ment. 1t has provided for, among other
things, the material used in construction
as far as Fresno, the locating or surveying
of the road to Bakersfield, three locomo-
tives, $50 freight cars and the boarding out
fit for the men at the front, consisting of
two dining-room cars.
Owing to the absence from the City of a
number of the directors of the road the
regular weekly meeting, which is usually
held on Tuesday, was postponed yesterday
until to-day
