A successful Attornev.

Among the better known attorneys of
San Francisco whose success is due to
perseverance and the possession Of
natural talents which fit them for the
profession they adorn, none stands
higher in popular esteem than William
II. Jordan, whose Office is in the Claus
SpreckelS building. In the prime of life
ana IN the zenith of his career as a
lawyer, Mr.. Jordan enjoys a large and
lucrative practice, he numbering
among his clientage a large number
or corporations. including nearly all of
the lumber companies in the city As
a corporation lawyer he is unequaled
py any member Of the San Francisco
bar.
MI. Jordan is a native of Ohio, but
mas lived here since 1853. He gradu-
ated from Yale in 1875, and later went
INTO the viticultural business. While
eh8aged in this pursuit he studied law
ana was admitted to the bar in 1885.
Mr.. Jordan has the third largest law
library In the city. He represented
Alameda County in the State LegisIa-
ture for three terms and was speaker
or the House in 1887. During 1875 he
was a member of the Board Of Univer-
sIty Regents He also served as School
director in Alameda County two terms.
commencing in 1883 and ending in 1886.
His offices, Nos. 1311-12-13, are the
finest in the city.

The Crystalline Mines.

The Crystalline mines. situated on
the mother lode, about one mile west
of Jamestown. are among the most
promising properties in Tuolumne
County. They measure about 1000 feet
in length along the lode and range in
width from 900 to 1900 feet. The mines
are held under United States mineral
patents and are bounded on the north
by the famous Alabama and Rawhide
mines, and on the south by the Trio
mine, belonging to the Santa Isabel
Company of Boston.
Geographically, the Crystalline
group of mines is one of the most char
acteristic on the mother lode. One of
the most important features Of the lode
in this immediate vicinity is that the
point of concentration" has in nearly
every instance been reached at a small
distance, varying in depth from $50 to
500 feet. The Crystalline has been
worked for years by means of tunnels
and stopping upward in the different
pay chutes. The mines are owned by
Charles E. Shafer and he has recently
sunk a shaft in the south end of the
property, exposing a large body of ore
assaying from 81 to $50 a ton, while in
some places the sulphurets assayed as
high as 5000 to the ton. Water and
electric power are available. The ore,
being free milling" may be mined and
milled at cost not to exceed 81 so a
ton,

month been bought by Prince Ponia-
towsh and his associates, and will
hereafter undoubtedly be no small fac
tor in the marble industry of this
country, as the stone exists here in
almost inexhaustible quantities, and
can, through the medium of the rail-
road, be sent into the markets of the
world both cheaply and expeditiously.
From all signs it would seem as If
Tuolumne County in the future would
wholly discount her past greatness,
which is saying much, especially
when the fact is taken into consider
alton that she has up to the present
time yielded, at a most conservative
estimate, over $2OO, ,OOO, 900 in gold, most
all of which output must be credited
to her placers, which are now, except
in isolated instances, almost worked
out. But though placer mining is a
thing of the past. quartz mining has
taken its place, and is yet in it's in
fancy. Enough, however, regarding it
has been learned to settle beyond dis
pute that the mines on the mother lode
and east belt have depth and that the
value of the ore increases with it.
From all indications the mining
year 1898 will prove a great one for
mining interests, and but little doubt
need be felt that it will see many new
mines started, and those already be-
ing developed showing up better than
ever. Quartz mining in this section
has gotten beyond the experimental
stage, and is now on such basis as
to be safely counted among the legiti-
mate business enterprises of the State,
and not the gambling proposition it
has too often, but enormously, been
considered.
Tuolumne has other sources Of
wealth besides her gold mines, fore
most of which come her timber inter
ests, which are far greater than the
people of California are aware of and
which have been kept back by a lack
of proper transportation facilities.
This the Sierra Pacific will now
remedy and in doing so will not only
enrich Tuolumne County, but the
whole State, for if its timber can be
thrown on the markets of San Fran
cisco it will undoubtedly greatly de-
crease the amount purchased from
Oregon, and in exact ratio to that
would the wealth of the State be in
creased.
Tuolumne County has also large
sheep interests which add materially
to her commercial wealth, while her
farming interests are by no means
insignificant, though of course in no
manner to be compared with the San
Joaquin counties.
All in all Tuolumne County has
within her borders many sources of
wealth. She can be properly rated as
one of the very richest sections of the
State, while for that scenic beauty
which attracts the tourist she is we'll
worthy of more than passing notice.

A Pronainent Attornev.

Among the more successful attorneys
of San Francisco, Henry Ach, whose
Office is at 303 California street, holds
a prominent place. Although born in
Oregon, Mr.. Ach has resided in this
State long enough to entitle him to the
claim Of being a Californian. He was
admitted to the bar in his native State
in 1878, and soon thereafter practiced
law in partnership with ex-Attorney
General George II. Williams during
President Grants administration. In
1886 Mr.. Ach came to San Francisco
and since that time he has succeeded
in building up an enviable practice
He is the junior member of the law
firm Of Rothchild & Ach, a combination
of talent which has been exceedingly
successful in commercial and especially
corporation practice. Mr.. Ach recently
attracted great public attention by his
connection with the Figel murder case.

prosecution. He is a man of force Of

A Leading Architect.

Among the architects who have con-
tributed to the beautifying of San
Francisco none stand higher than E.
r. Swain, whose office is in the Crocker
building. Mr.. Swain is a gentleman of
artistic tastes and highly original
ideas, which have found expression in
some of the handsomest buildings in
the city. A graduate of several of the
best architectural schools, with years
of practical experience, re-enforced by
the knowledge that is born of critical
observation, Mr.. Swain is in every re-
spect a master of his craft. In addi-
tion to conducting his large and con-
stantly growing business Mr.. Swain is
engaged in the work of constructing
the new ferry building as the supervis-
ing architect of the Board of Harbor
Commissioners. His careful attention
to details, his firmness of character,
which will brook no evasion by con-
tractors of the terms of specifications,
will result in practical benefit to the
State and the certainty that the inter-
ests of the commonwealth will not suf-
fer.

Sidney V. Smith, One of the

years been counsel for banks and large

Value of the Egg in Sickness

The value of egg albumen in food in
certain diseased conditions is pointed
out by Dr. c. E. Boynton, says the
Pacific Medical Journal. When fever
is present the appetite is nil, he says,
what one wants is an aseptic article of
diet; the white Of an egg, raw, serves
both as food and medicine.
One way to give it is to drain off
the albumen from an opening about
half an inch in diameter in the small
end of an egg, the yelk remaining
inside the shell; add a little salt to this
and direct the patient to swallow it.
In typhoid fever the mode of feeding
materially helps us in carrying out an
antiseptic plan of treatment Further
more, the albumen, to certain extent,
may antidote the toxines of the dis
ease.
Patients may at first rebel at the
idea of eating a raw egg: but the
quickness with which it goes down
without the yelk proves it to be less
disagreeable than they suppose, and
they are then ready to take second
dose.

Cafe Royal Billiard Hall.

The leading billiard hall in San Fran
cisco to-day is unquestionably the Cafe
Royal, conducted by Messrs. Hornlein
& Krump in the Flood building at the
corner Of Fourth and Market streets.
That it is also the favorite place for the
gathering of deft manipulators of the
ivories is evidenced by the crowds that
throng the palatial hall every after
noon and evening. The proprietors are
hale fellows well met and their uni
form courtesy shown in the treatment
of patrons has won for them hosts of
friends and admirers.
The features of the Cafe Royal are
