The Millionaire Succumbed to
a Stroke of Paraly-
sis.
ACTIVE CAREER IN CALIFORNIA
He Was Largely Identified With Tele.
graph, Mining and Railroad
Enterprises.

John w. Coleman, millionaire capital
ist and active business man of San Fran
cisco, expired from stroke of paralysis at
his City residence, 1922 Sacramento street,
yesterday morning at o'clock. He had
complained of not feeling well for several
DAYS, but Monday he thought he was
much better and went out on the sidewalk
for exercise.
John w. Coleman was born in Woodford
County, Ky, in 1882. He came West early
in life, stopping at Independence, Mo-,
where he found employment as clerk.
He came to California in 1854, arriving in
Placerville in November of that year. Sub
sequently he went to Sacramento and be-
came an employee OF the Alta Telegraph
Company. In 1860 he became manager at
Sacramento of the California State Tele-
graph Company. In 1865 he and Jesse s..
Wall took the contract to construct tele-
graph line from San Francisco to Salt
Lake, and each cleared considerable money
in the enterprise. Mr.. Coleman was an
expert operator and became thoroughly
familiar with the work of constructing
telegraph lines.

Mr.. Denman says that the Chaffey broth
ers of California. who few years ago
began irigating large areas in South Aus
tralia and Victoria, and who were after
ward seriously handicapped by the hard
times, had succeeded in raising a lot of
English money.
They went over to England and fioated

now have all the money they need. They
have two colonies. One is Meldura, in
Victoria, and the other is Remark, in
South Australia. Both are tlourishing in
a very satisfactory way.
The water for irrigating the lands
comes from the Murray, the only great
river in Australia. The country about
these towns was a vast desert till the Chat

Peter Negro Cleans Up $4,000 in
Cash From the Amarillo, in
Minas Prietas.

Peter Negro, owner of important gold
properties at Minas Prietas, Sonora, who
fifteen years ago worked in the Butte mine,
Sierra County, is at the Baldwin.
Mr.. Negro, after leaving here, went to
Colorado and Arizona, where he remained
some years, finally removing to Minas
Prietas, which is forty-three miles from
Hermosillo and seventy-fve miles from
Guaymas. The nearest railroad point is
Torres, fifteen miles away, on the Sonora
Railroad.
The wandering miner has been lucky
since he went away, so he says. He dis
covered the famous Amarillo mine, which
he and those who became partners with
him afterward sold for $155, OO0 Mr..
Negroes share was $50,0 600.
Howell Hind, who often comes to the
City, was the purchaser.
Mr.. Negro says the mine has developed
enormous quartz veins lately. and that,
with the adjoining properties which Mr.
Hind has, it is no trouble at all to get out
$1,OOO,OOO most any time. The Amarillo is
a steady producer, the gold coming regu-

THE FUNDING BILL.
The Howard Republican Club Adopts
Resolutions Urging Action to De-
feat 1t in Congress.

An enthusiastic meeting of the Howard
Club was held Tuesday evening at Pythian
Castle Hall, 900 Market street, the occasion
being the installation of officers and dlrec-
tors. After the installation Chris A. New
man, the president, announced to the
members present that it was the purpose
of the officers and directors to make the
Howard Club the central Republican club
OF the City. John T. Graham and other
mem bers addressed the club on various
topics. John w. Koch, corresponding sec
rotary, introduced the following resolu-
tions, which were adopted by the club:
Realizing the Importance of the success of
the Republican party in the coming campaign,
and fully believing in that party being the
highest and best representative of the loyal
and intelligent will of the American people,
we, the members of the Howard Club of San
Francisco, do hereby
ResolUe, That we most heartily indorse and
commend the action OF the Republican Con-
gress now in session. and that we condemn the
futile and unbusinesslike methods of the Dem
ocratic administration whereby the National
treasury has been depleted and the public in
debtness increased at the enormous sum of
millions of dollars per month; be it further
RESOLVED, That we urge upon all good and
loyal citizens everywhere, and more especially
of the Pacific Coast, the necessity of immediate
action in defeating any bill in Congress look
ing to the funding of the Indebtedness of the
Pacific railroads.

and Exchange Board was established, Mr.
Coleman became a partner with Henry
Williams in the firm of James r. Keene q
Co. The partnership was successful and
when the firm dissolved each member had
a large balance to his credit.
Retiring from active speculation in min
ing stocks, Mr.. Coleman purchased a con-
trolling interest in the San Francisco and
North Pacific Coast Railroad-the narrow
gauge line known then as the Latham
road. He became president of the COM
pany and managed the road with fair de-
gree OF success until he sold his interests
some six years ago to j. B. Stetson and
others.
Mr.. Coleman was recently elected presi-
dent of the Oakland Gaslight Company, to
I'LL the vacancy caused by the death of
Joseph G. Eastland. He was also vice
president and director of the San Fran
cisco and San Joaquin Coal Company, a
director OF the Safe Deposit Company and
OF the Peoples Home Savings Bank.
A meeting of the board of trustees of the
Safe Deposit Company was held Tuesday,
and tributes OF respect to the memory of
Mr. Coleman and resolutions extending
coincidence to his family were adopted
Henry MeIram of the Safe Deposit Com
pany, who was very intimately acquainted
with Mr.. Coleman, attended the meeting.
John w. Coleman served two terms as
president of the San Francisco Stock and
Exchange Board, and that institution adj
journed yesterday in respect to his mem
DRY. He was also well-known member
of the Pacific Union Club.
The house at 1922 Sacramento street,
where Mr.. Coleman expired, was leased
only for the winter. The Coleman family
residence in Oakland, where the BODY was
convey ed yesterday morning, is one of the
finest homes in Alameda County.
In 1861 Mr.. Coleman was married a. Sac
ramento to Miss Julia NJ. Pearson. Colonel
James Gamble, ex-manager of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company in this
City, married a sister of Miss Pearson. Mr.
Coleman's family consisted of his wife, his
daughter Jessie and his son Harry. The
sudden death was a great shock to the
family.

The Pacific Coast Steamship Company's
Walla Walla was delayed twelve hours in
getting in from Puget Sound by strong
southeast gale which lasted fifty-four
hours. She brought 156 passengers and
full cargo. The work of discharging will
be rushed and she will get out on schedule

So much freight is offering for the big
steamer Afridi, which is under charter to
the Occid entail and Oriental Steamship
Company, that her sailing date has had to
be postponed to Friday next at noon. She
will take $500 tons of -four, and all in all,
she will have fully 5000 in her hold when
she gets away. This is one of the largest
shipments of -four that has ever gone out
of this port. The Afridi will carry no
passengers, as very few Chinese are travel
ing owing to the fact that their new year
would be over by the time they reached
Hong Kong.
The California Navigation and Improve
