DOUBTS THE ECONOMY.

Supervisor Rottanzi Finds Two Men
Working Where One Worked Before.
Supervisor Rottanzi says tina, he has on
successive days found two street lahorers
at work on South Park at an expense of
SIS per day, where formerly there was but
one man, and he. Thomas Clancey, cared
exclusively for that breathing space and
pleasure ground at cost 81 so per day.
He wonders at this, and is inclined to
think that the election OF Clancy, as a
gardener, would have been more economi-
cal. Clancy has SO long looked ont for
the area that it has become known TO
many as Clancey's park.

went to the Supreme Court because Judge

first degree. The Supreme Court decided

tanned.

he should not be sentenced, Muhlner re-
piled: ''No, sir; but / would prefer to GO

BUFFERS HAS RETURNED
He Says He Has Lots of English
and German Backing for
His Schemes.
Has Gathered Much Valuable Infor.
nation Among the Mines in
S nth Africa.

| OAKLAND. CAL, Jan. 20. - Charles
Buffers returned to Oakland from his
South African trip tonight. On his way
from the East he was joined by his
brother and his wife and by some other
mem bers of the surveying party, and on
their arrival at their home at Piedmont
attended by nearly hundred guests.
"You have heard all about our expert
ence in that Government hotel at Johan-
nesburg," said Mr.. Buffers, laughing. at
was not very pleasant, but Captain Mein,
who is also resident of Oakland now, has
told you all about it. However, we OBJ
tanned valuable information about the
mines, and since my return TO America
We have been engaged in very important
task
"We believe that there are untold guam
titles of low-grade ores in Colorado Utah
and California that can be worked at
a profit if capital can be obtained to put
up the necessary plant. We ale convinced
that our system of making these low
grade ores pay has solved the difficulty,
and our syndicate has unlimited British
and German backing.
I'VE have just made a very extended
| survey OF mining districts in Utah and
OOlOTduO, anu We are convinced L0aJ we
can revoIutionize the industry so far as
| low-grade ores are concerned. We have
no experimenting to do, as all tnat has
b en- done, and we are prepared to COM
mence work. We shall probably buy up
large territories that produce ore tha! has
hitherto not been paying, and as soon as
we commence operations it will be ON a
| large scale.
"Our field of operations is unlimited as
| the mines in South Africa and Australia
can be worked in addition to those in this
| country"
Mr.. Buffers will remain here for some
weeks and will then leave on another short
| tour.
| Mr.. Buffers is one of the seven Ameri-
cans who, with John Hays Hammond,
were arrested by the Boer Government be-
cause of their affihation with the reform
movement IN tie Transvaal last year at
the time of DR.. Jamison's raid. Buffers
was released May 20, fined $1,000 and
obliged to give bond not to interfere in
the political affairs of the Boer Govern
ment for three years. He introduced in
that country for the Rand Central Ore Re-
duction Company, OF which he is the
managing director, a new electrical pro-
cess for the treatment of refractory ores.

Campers Having Good Success,

Pittsburg, August 1.-The success of
the campers in bringing out the Coalport
miners frightened the spirits of the men
and made them more sanguine of their
victory. At a. M, they left camp and
went to the main entrance of the mine,
leaving the entire pit mouth unguarded,
The miners in camp near Sandy Greek
began to march at $50 a. M. and took
positions near the pit mouth. They were
elated by seeing only three men go in.
The Turtle Creek campers numbering
1000 divided into two bodies at 4 a. M,
one party stopped at Newton and the
other continued up the road until they
came to the pit mouth. They remained
till 8, being satisfied that but few went
into the mines, they returned to camp
where q hearty breakfast awaited them.
President Dolan expressed himself as
positive that the miners strike will be
over two weeks after De Armitt's mines
are closed. The total, output of the
Oak Hill mine was eight cars and will be
less as fewer are at work When running
full time the capacity is 100 to 1890 cars.

YOUNG TEN EYCK AT BOSTON.
Tremendous Reception Given Winner OF
Diamond SOULS.

Boston, Mass, August 3.-Edward
Hanlan, Ten Eyck, the winner of the
amateur single scull championship at the
Henley regatta was given reception to-
night in Fanueil hall which was good
second to the magnificent ovation rendered
him at his home in Worcester the night
before. Young Ten Eyck was loudly ap-
plauded when he appeared on the plat
form and when the cheering hand sub
sided Chairman Kelliher opened the
speech making and at its close introduced
Mayor Quincy. The latter spoke of what
Boston had done and would do for rowing
and paid high tribute to young Ten
Eyok, who he said, not only brought back
with him the diamond SOULS, but had de-
feated the trained atheletes of England,
Which was feat which he might feel
proud Of.
James A. Ten Eyck was too
hoarse to speak and Chairman
Kelliher responded briefly to the calls
made for him. Young Ten Eyck declared
himself no orator, but expressed, in few
words, his deep appreciation of the honor
conferred upon him by this grand recep-
tion.
. The crowd then demanded some re-
marks from John L. Sullivan, who was
seated upon the platform and the ex-
champion was compelled to say few
words.
