HE BUILT a FENCE ABOUT IT.

The immediate neighborhood of Point
Lobos and Central avenues was thrown
into state of excitement Friday evening
by the announcement that gold quartz
ledge had been discovered by contractors
working on Point Lobos avenue under the
new concrete wall of Calvary Cemetery.
At the particular spot where the out
cropping of quartz was found there used
to be high bank of earth composed OF
surface sand. with a stratum of ADOBE clay
and serpentine rock beneath. Down to
the level of the avenue this rotten rock
was cleared away, but Friday evening the
graders encountered large bowlder, in
which their picks made no impression.
The soil and soft rock were cleared from
around ii, and then sledgehammer was
brought into requisition to chip off that
portion of the hard bowlder projecting
above the street level.
Contractor Patrick Broderick was pres
ent. but paid little attention to the work
until a large chunk of gold quartz was
Clipped off. The weight of the rock first

More pieces of the quartz, for such it
really was, were broken off the rock and
examined. They were found to contain
quartz, heavily laden with what appeared
20 be iron sulphides. The news of the dis
coyery spread rapidly and q crowd of
curious people soon gathered round the
quartz outcropping. One of the spectators
was an old miner named Schupp, who
lives in the vicinity. He unhesitatingiy
declared that the quartz carried consider
able gold. Another veteran miner, and
neighbor OF Schupp's, added enthusiast
icallY that the ore would assay over 500
ton. Whereupon Broderick collected sew
eral SAMPLES for assay and examination.
Lacking knowledge of how TO proceed in
securing mine, he had a fence erected
around the quartz rock yesterday, and
now the novel spectacle of prospective
mining claim fenced in upon a public
street of San Francisco can be seen ON

Broderick lett his work yesterday and

II, prosperous looking man got on a
Hoboken ferry boat in tho middle of
the afternoon when travel was light.
His shoes evidently had como in con-
tact with a soft, juicy mudholo some
hours before. The bootblack spotted
him at once and tackled him vigor-
ously. "Shine 'em, boss; five cent?"
was asked several times in the next
two minutes, but each time there
was q shake of the head. The "shin-
er" wandered away, but returned q
moment later.
"Shine EN-, boss; only dree cent?"
he asked this time, with no better
result. Further reduction to two
cents and then one were of no avail.
Stung to desperation by the per-
sistent refusals, and perhaps over
como by deep professional interest,
the bootblack finally said:
"Shine 'em for nothin, bossr'
This time the man with the muddy
shoes assented.
The next three minutes deep ST.
lence reigned, while the boy rubbed
away at the left shoe till it reflected
his face almost as we'll as q mirror.
When he had finished that shoe, he
jumped up and ran away.
Como back here, you rascal!"
yelled the man, land finish your
job. "
Keeping "a safe distance away, the
bootblack replied, "Shine one shoe
for nothin, two shoe ten cent"
There seemed to be no other way
out of it, and the man paid the ten
cents for the right shoe, forgetting
that he could have had it shined for
five as soon as he got off the boat.
It's an old trick, but it worked this
time to perfection. - New York
