A Word
About BOrax Soap.

Borax costs more than
soap. There is no induce
ment, therefore, for soap
makers to use it for profit.
Borax softens the wash
water, and leaves the hands
soft and smooth.
Consequently it is a good
thing in soap.
The so-called borax soaps
rarely contain borax in suffi-
Gent quantities to be de-
tectcd or beneficial.

During our sojourn at Green River

We had only stayed few hours

In the next contest between the Grand

tion of Spring Valley
Property.
THE PROCESS EXPLAINED.
Assertion That $1,000, 900 of Central
GaSlight Stock Is Not on
the Roll.
THE PROCESS EXPLAINED.

A delegation from the Grand Jury con-
sisting of alert, active business men of
affairs met Assessor Slebe and Chief
Deputy Herzer in open session of the
Board of Supervisors yesterday morning.
The meeting was not unexpected. The
members of the Grand Jury, accompanied
by Expert Horace d. Dunn, were there to
establish by facts and figures that the As
SCISSOR, according to the system of valua-
ton which he applied generally to the
assessment of personal property, bonds,
stocks and franchises, had not been ap-
Piled to the Market-street Railroad Com
pany, the light corporations and the
Spring Valley Water Works. The Grand
Jury was there to show that the under
valuation, as respects these corporations,
amounted to $l1, ,000,0 600. On one side OF
the room sat Jurors McLennan, PAYNE,
Butler, Mclean, O'FarrelI and Cheever.
On the other side were Messrs. Siebe and
Herzer of the Assessors Office, and Mr..
Arnold, member of the State Board OF
Equalization from Los Angeles.
The assessment of the San Francisco
Gas Light Company was one of the first
items considered. As the undervaluation
in this is only $254, 900, the line of action
was not uncovered by the jury. Mr.. Payne
explained that the bonds and stocks were
considered by the Grand Jury as a means
OF ascertaining value, or the worth of prop
erty i'll excess of the value of real estate.
When the assessment of the Spring
Valley Water Works was reached revela-
ton came. John A. Russell read the
Grand Jury figures as complied by Expert
Dunn, closing with the calculation that
the undervaluation was 81, 434, 600. Then
followed the ordinary questions about the
assessment OF the property in counties
other than San Francisco. Some of these
stock questions are familiar to ex-Super-
visors and ex-Assessors as we'll as to Off
GERS now IN power. The Grand Jury con-
tended that the corporation valued It's
property at $23. .065, $50, and of this prop
erty $17. 500, 900 was in San Francisco.
Mr.. O'FarrelI of the Grand Jury asked
the Assessor how much the company had
been assessed for real estate in San Fran
cisco.

IS HERE TO BUY MINES.
An Ohio Syndicate Secretly Ex-
amining the Mother
Lode.
Invested Over 100000 in San An.
dreas and Now Hunting for
Other Good Things.

The agents of an Ohio syndicate are here
looking for investments along the mother
lode. For some little time they have been
quietly at work, and already they have in
vested between $50. 600 and $4,000 in one
property in Calaveras County.
Professor P. L. Hobbs of the department
of chemistry in the Western Reserve
University at Cleveland, Ohio, is at the
head OF the party sent here to look over
the ground.
'From time to time during the last two
years. said Professor Hobbs yesterday
at the Grand, "this syndicate has had men
out here looking round for mines, but they
have not been able to find anything that
just suited.
1.-The truth is wherever there is good
property it is held too nigh. There has
been so much trickery in trying to work
off poor properties that California mines
for a long time have had black eye in
the East. Now it has come to be busl-
ness proposition for intending investors TO
find out quietly for themselves just what
is here before they say anything of their
intentions.
az have been in the State since May, but
have been here rather on the quiet. We
have bought pretty strong property in
San An6reas. 1t is a question whether
we will buy any more. l am going back
to Calaveras County to-day, however, and
l shall continue my Investigations until
Septem Der.
1.-THE syndicate that 1 am here for is
composed entirely of Ohio men, and they
all have considerable wealth.

plications for Reductions.

plicatiOnS for Reductions.
After the Grand Jury had filed out OF
the room the matter of the assessment of
the MarKet-street Railway Company came
up for consideration. A. J. Clunie was
present to ask that the assessment be
raised from some So, O00,O 900 to $1S, zoe, ,000,
and on the other hand E. Black Ryan and
Ii. III. Lynch appeared for the company TO
ask reduction to something less than
s2,000.000. Clunie had subpenaed the fol-
lowing witnesses, but they failed to answer
their names yesterday: Thomas Brown,
III. E. Huntington, w. T. Adams and
George T. Folsom. CIunie was willing to
proceed, however, so at his request Asses
sor Siebe was called and sworn.
In answer to Clunie's question Siebe
stated that the Market-street Company
controlled the entire street railway system
of this City with the exception of few
companies, including the Sutter, Cali
fornia, Sutro, Union and San Mateo lines.
The capital stock of the company consisted
OF 1877, 800 shares of stock, whose par value
was 500 share, but which were selling at
about $44 share on the first Monday in
March. At this rate the market value of
the capital stock would have been about
SIS. 900, 600.
In getting at the value of the company's s
franchise Siebe had deducted from the
capital stock the value of the personal
property and took so per cent of the re-
mainder as the value of the franchise
Siebe didn't know just why he had taken
one half the amount-he admitted having
known that in various cases the Supreme
Court of the State had approved the
method of taking the capital stock minus
the personal property as the value of the
franchise.
Siebe knew that at the time he made the
assessment the company was paying divi-
denGs on $15,700,000 capital stock. He
also knew that one of the directors Of the
