BRITISH GOLD
SEEKS THE WEST
California Mines Attract In.

Professor Thomas Price Is Look.
ing for Good Mines for
Capitalists.
The Golden West Is More Attractive
Than the Fields of South
Africa.

There are good prospects that the year
1897 will bring rare prosperity in Califor-
mia mining circles. 1t is just now becom-
financial circles that there are better op-
portunities for investment beneath the
semi-tropical skies of the Golden West
than amid the icebergs of Alaska and the
torrid heat and pioneer surroundings OF
South Africa.
Editor Edelson, the Los Angeles mining
expert has done q great deal to dissent
nate valuable Information about California
mines, but the cold records OF banks
have told more eloquent story to those
who are seeking investments. 1t is begin
ming to be known that good opportunities
for investment exist, and British capital
in particular is only eager to be sure that
no Yankee bunko game is under way.
Professor Thomas Price, the we'll
known chemist and assayer. whose ac-
quaintance with rich men in the United
Kingdom is very great, is now out of the
City, as he has been for month past at
frequent intervals, for the purpose of find
ing good investments for foreign capital.
Those who are best acquainted with
Professor Prices mission say that he has
a commission that means much to the
future OF gold-mining here; that he repre-
sents syndicates whose connections with
foreign capital are exte nsive enough to re-
suit in great changes to the advantage OF
California, if their attention is once en-
listed in the right way.
Those best acquainted with movements
in mining matters are beginning to under
stand that British capitalists are olookin G
toward California with more eagerness
than for many years, and that when they
make the purchases they are now after
it will not be long before a new era
of rare improvement exists. They are
beginning to see that the South African
mines are far less attractive than those
here. and that the profits will be greater
in the long run on fair test.

CHANGES At THE BALDWIN
]. E. Clough Retires as Manager
and r. E. Glaze Takes
His Place.
The American Dining. Room Is Also
Closed-Some Reductions
in Expenses.

Some important changes were made at
the Baldwin Hotel yesterday. the changes
being in the interest of reduction Of the
expenses.
J. e. Clough. who has been in charge as
manager ever since Messrs. Stone, Stanton
and their associates took hold of the hotel
over year ago, stepped down. and r. E.
Glaze, q hotel man of Australia, who some
months ago was for time manager of the
Tacoma Hotel at Tacoma, took his place.
Besides this, the dining-room ON the
second fl oor OF the hotel. which was run
on the American plan. and which con-
tinued from the opening of the caravan
sary, was closed, and guests will hereafter
take their meals in the grillroom, or res
taurant.
The closing of the American plan din:
ing-room necessarily reduces the force
about the hotel. -.
A grill was opened in the establishment
some mont ago, as will be remembered,
the old billiard-rooms being used for that
purpose. The grfllroom, as well. as the
restaurant which was long ago established,
are going along on about the same plan as
formerly.
Mr.. .Clough, who retires from the man
agement, is one of the best-known hotel
men on the Pacific Coast BE has filled
many important positions. He was for a
long time chief clerk at the Hotel del
Monte, and afterward was manager of the
Hotel Rafael at San Rafael.
Mr.. Glaze, who succeeds to the manage
ment of the Baldwin, was formerly man
ager of the Australian Hotel, Sydney, and
afterward held'the position of manager OF
the Tacoma.
Some prominent guests, who had long
been at the Baldwin, left there about two
months ago and went to other hotels. 1t
is said that the reason was because many
people had recently been taken as guests
at reduced rates, and that as result re-
