The litigation, of which this was the
sensational outcome, extended over Pc

How the Discoverer of the Great
Anaconda Mines Died in the
State of Sonora.

Gold street is the significant name of a
little alley between Jackson and Pacific
streets, where there lives an old inventor
whose brother recently died in Mexico,
leaving him six gold mines OF great though
unknown value.
The fortunate heir to this hidden treas
ure is G. Andreas Cavalli, brother of L.
Paul Cavalli, famous IN mining circles as
the discoverer of the great Anaconda cop
per ledges of Butte City, Mont. 1t was
Paul who recently died near Minas Prize
tas, Mexico, and left his brother all his
estate-not by a duly witnessed will on
parchment, nor yet by word of mouth,
but by mods and winks that conveyed his
meaning to those who stood by while his
lifetide ebbed away.
"Such a disposition of property would
not be a conveyance or will under Ameri-
can law" said Attorney Oscar T. Shuck,
who represents Mr.. Cavalli, 'but the Mex
ican laws recognize it, and my client is
here now with full authority as admins
traitor OF his brothers. estate, and with

cognlzed as sole heir by the courts of Her.
mosillo, capital of Sonora.
He has just returned after a soiourn
there and will soon be appointed admins
traitor Tor his brothers. estate here and in
Arizona. The dead man had important
interests in both States, and they must be
looked after. As our courts do not recog.
nize the will of the dead man, expressed
in mods, the brother will be compelled to
divide the American property with SIX
other brothers"
Sixteen years ago Paul Cavalli drifted
to Mexico, disconsolate over the loss of
the Anaconda, the value OF which he did
not recognize. His brother, Andreas did
not hear from him regularly, and had
begun to believe he was dead or had been
very unsuccessful. few weeks ago. how.
ever, word came that Paul had died on
Septe Der q of paralysis. and that he had
left all his mines to Andreas here. An
dreas, who has for years spent all his in
come IN pertecting some patents for max
ing boots and shoes, fastened TO Hermo-
slllo. where the news was confirmed He
had no trouble in being declared sole b cir
and being made administrator.
Speaking of the case yesterday, he said !:
my brother was stricken down with par
alysis in such a way that be could not
speak. Those who gathered around him.
when they saw he could not live, knowing
he had relatives. asked him whom he de-
sired to be his heir. By running over the
alphabet and agreeing on a system of
signals. my name was spelled out and the
will OF my brother was composed as a
result of his mods of the head"
One of the valuable things left to the
humble San Francisco mechanic is claim
of $4,000 against the Mexican Govern
ment. 1t is in such form as to be as good
as gold.
Anoth er piece of property is what law
yers call "a chose in action" being an
Indian depreciation claim against the
United States. Paul Cavalli was at one
time resident of Pima County, Arizona.
He was partner of Charles Peck. whose
wife and children were murdered by
Geronimo.s band in $780, AT the same
time the property of the firm was de-
stroyed, and claim for large sums is now
pending against the United States Gov
ernment, with good chances that it will
be allowed
Mr.. CavaIli takes his great success very
philosophically, and, though he might
realize considerable cash for his interests,
he continues living in the way he has
been accustomed to live for years. His
home is still in Gold alley, and, though
the name has for years stared him in the
face like a jest of fate or bit of irony, he
now has his laugh as he trudges to his
humble abode. Just opposite the alley,
on Montgomery street the name ssGoId
street Is painted on a gas lamp in red
letters. Cavalli smiled as he read the
name by the fickering fame last night.
he says he can complete his patents now,
ana IL they prove non-productive the
whirllgig of time can hardly deal with hi
harshly anyhow, for his fortune is in the
Mexican mountains, down where his
favorite brother died.
