all the accomplishments of luxury and

among the dead and the suffering look

Mrs. Bowman says very important
treaty has just been consummated with the

For many years daring white men have
enceavored to work the gold lodges of
these mountains. The lodges were known
to be extremely rich. The yellow metal
brought out from the mines. at: different
times by the Nayajos showed this.
The Indians. however, have always re-
fused the white men access to the mines.
They were Killed by the way or in the
mines, if they happened by chance to get
that far. Many and many q murder has
been committed BECAUSE of these mines
"There have been SO many losses of life
because OF the insistenee OF daring white
men to get into the Coriso Mountains"

will look more beautiful, more solid, more
dlgnified, if you like, and is in every way
to be preferred [ am sure no architect
would prefer to see Oregon graystone to
California granite.
All this criticism and controversy would
have to cease at once ii it became known
that the Harbor Commissioners had de-
clded on granite. There cannot possibly.
be two opinions about its durability,
whereas there seems to be dozen about
"a massive granite pile at the foot of
Market street would be someshing far
grander than peoplewho have mot seen
such stately edifices can imagine. If it
should cost 500, 900 more it would be, in
my opinion, money well: spent. So long
as the appropriation has been made let us
have tirSU-ciaSs piece of work :
II think that California granite-which,
as everybody knows, is the best in the
world-couid be substituted for Oregon
graystone and the price still be lower than
any bid except ours. AS the. contract is
let at present granite would cost more, but
nothing to speak of in comparison with
the improvement in the building: | do
not even know if ityould be possible now
10 make the change with the contract
being let, but | presume that the parties
to any contract can legally make any
changes mutually agreeable. . =:
'tIhere is nothing in the world that can
be made to look as handsome as California
granite, and no matter what stone can be
used, it cannot produce the same effect.
This is not my opinion alone, but is that
of everybody with whom / converse"

WRECKED BY A RUNAWAY.
A Heavy Wagon Demolished on
an Electric Pole on
Broadway.
Two Frantic Horses Dash Downhill
Through Crowds of Little
Children.

There was an exciting runaway yester-
day afternoon on Pacific street which re-
suited in the wrecking of large delivery
wagon and the breaking of Frank Spear
mans left leg, near the ankle. Early
yesterday morning the driver of Riley S
milk wagon while passing along Broad
way, between Stockton and Powell met
with the loss of one of his wagon wheels.
He went to a stable near by and hired a
large express wagon in order to complete
the delivery of milk to his customers.
Yesterday afternoon Riley, whose ranch
is<on'the San. Bruno road, sent the wagon
hack in charge of James Hogan and Frank
Spearman. They hitcheG up young un-
broken horse IN order to give it some ex-
erclSe. The driver went over Van Ness
avenue to Pacific, and along that thor
oughfare until he reached the top of the
hill. When he started down the hill to-
ward Mason street. the Young horse be-
came fractious and showed a disposition to
RUNAWAY. His actions caused two other
young men who had mounted the wagon
to jump to the ground.
The team was going at rapid rate
down the steep hill when one of the lines
broke and Hogan lost control of the
animals. In a second both were off like
shot dashing down the hill. AS they
tween Pacific and Broadway Hogan pulled
on the one line and the horses turned sud-
denly to the left and dashed into the mar
row thoroughfare. The wagon made the
turn on two wheels and Hogan and Spear
man were hurled to the ground. Hogan
escaped with few bruises, but Spearman
went under the wheels and his leg was
broken.
In less than a half minute the team had
passed through Scott place and ran upon
the sidewalk on the north side OF Broad
way. After breaking several fences and
blocks in the artificial stone sidewalk the
horses piled the wagon up or its side
against an electric pole standing on the
edge of the sidewalk. The wagon was
badly wrecked, and as an odd incident, it
was wrecked in front of the owners door.
The horses broke apart and ran for many
blocks before they were caught.
, Spearman was sent to the. Receiving
Hospital by Officer Haskell. At the time
of the runaway several hundred children
were playing on Pacific street, Scott place
and Broadway, and it was almost mir
acle that none were killed or crippled by
the horses or wagon.
