STORY OF AN old deed.
Title to Block of Land in
the Center of the
City.
A Surprising Announcement Made
at the Hall of Records
Yesterday.

A man sauntered into the Hall OF
Records yesterday and surprised the clerk
of the Recorder with the announcement
that be held deed to block of valuable
land in the center of the City. The man
gave his anne as Joseph Scham berger and
his residence 78 Ninth street vi this City.
The statement was made to the clerk in
charge of the records that the deed to the
land was acquired in 1850. Mr.. Scham-
berger inquired if such deed had been
recorded, but the clerk was not able to
find any record of deed of that year to
the piece of property described.
Last evening Mr.. Schambereer said that
the property was acquired by his father
in-law, who came to this State in 1S49, but
who is now a resident of Knepperville,
H., place twenty miles from Chicago.
He said the tract was sanddune when
his father-in-law was here and was not
considered of much value.
Concerning the deed to the premises
Mr.. Scham berger said the document was
in Sacramento. He had sent for it and it
should have been here yesterday. He was
confident that the deed would be here to-
day When it came he would know the
exact description or location of the land
and would be able then to determine the
true condition of affairs regarding the title
TO the property.
Mr.. Scha mberger was form erly a resi-
dent OF Sacramento and lived in that city
eight years. He said last night that he
had not engaged an attorney to look after
his interests and would take no steps in
that direction until he had carefully ex-
amined the deed.
The claimant, for such he may be called,
seemed to appreciate the fact that the
property has been in undisputed posses
sion of other than his father-in-law for
more than forty years. If the deed shall
describe the premises which he has in
mind, he will take steps to establish his
title. He discussed the subject with some
reluctance. preferring that nothing should
be said until he had acquired such in
formation as the deed might not i'm part.
The matter was freely talked about by the
deputies at the Hail of Records.

ROTTANZI MAY PETITION.
Wants Special Session of the Super
visors to Straighten Out City
Finances,

Mayor Phelan has decided not to call a
special session of the Board OF Supervisors
for the present for the purpose of reliev-
ing the financial stringency in the City
treasury and the situation that presents
itself to some of the contractors and en-
ployes to whom the municipality is in
de bted is more than ever duplicated.
Auditor Broderick sent word to the
Mayor yesterday that he did not see his
way clear to signing any more demands
on the treasury until there was some
guarantee that there would be money i'll
the treasury to meet the calls for funds
and that something must be done at once
or there would be more or less annoyance
and loss to contractors and City en-
ployes.
His idea of the best way out of the mud
die is to have a special session of the
Supervisors called for the purpose OF pass.
of bills on the basis OF last years appro-
priation, so that he will have some legal
basis for signing demands until the tax
levy is fixed and the City's revenue begins
to materialize.
When the Auditor learned that the
Mayor had declined TO call a meeting he
stated that he proposed to sit quiet and
await the outcome of affairs before trying
further to bring matters to focus.
Supervisor Rottanzi, chairman of the
Finance Committee OF the board, stated
last evening that if matters were not
Strengthened out within a few days he
would petition for special meeting of the
board to BRING the question to an issue.

AFTER THE DELEGATES.
Manufacturers Take a Firm
Stand on the Pure Food
Question.
An Inquiry Will Also Be Made as
to the State Prison Coal
Contract.

The regular meeting OF the directors of
the Manufacturers and Producers Asso-
citation was held on Monday, and several
matters of importance were discussed.
Manager Oscar Lewis made report rela-
tive 10 the case of local Inspector Dockery
and the bogus brandy matter now before
the United States courts.
A report was received from TREY l..
Ford, one of the delegates to the Trans
Mississippi Congress that met recently n
Salt Lake, and he gave the reasons why
there was no action taken in the matter of
legislation against the convict made
goods abuse that the delegates were par
ticularly instructed upon. He said that
the delegation of this State was divided
and he was unable 10 receive any support
in his protective efforts and that the
chances OF passing any resolution were
exceedingly slim.
The pure-foods question was bagged in
the same way. This report caused the
question to be raised as TO who were the
California delegates who opposed or dis
regarded their instruc ,ious. A committee
was appointed 10 make inquiry and find
out who they are and report TO the board
at the next meeting.
Attention was called to the fact that
recently the Board OF Fr1SOn directors let
contract for 5000 tons of Australian coal
at q price over s. per ton, when they
might have secured California coal for
81 so per ton. Last year by buying the
local prcduct the State officials saved at
least $4,000. A committe, consisting of Di-
rectors Bowers, b own and Everett was
appointed 10 make inquiry into the
matter. 49,
The convict labor committee reported
that in formation bad been received that
the agents of the Oregon State prison are
in this State endeavorng to work up a
trade In the stoves made in that instltu-
ton. They are travelling all over Cali
fornia Offering cheap stoves to the trade
al prices that completely kills the busi-
ness where free men are employed. 1t was
decided to call the attention of the labor
Unions and the manufacturers to the re-
port and fight this unfair trade i'll every
way possible.
President Kerr states that the associa-
tion had gained one victory recently.
Ger tain parties have contract to furnish

He learned that the contractors had sent

fish and when this was called to the at
tention of the Health Office the Eastern
article was rejected and carted away by
the contractor.

REDDING, CAL, Aug. 15-Generally
speaking, Sunday is a dull day in Red
ding, but since the gold excitement on
Coffee Greek every day mas been one of
hurry and bustie. and this Sabbath has
been one of the liveiiest ever witnessed
here. Prospecting outfits, fitting out and
starting out for the new goldfields, have
kept the streets crowded and the people
excited. Not less than half a dozen diff
ferent prospecting parties have departed
oday for Trinity's Klondike, and as
many more will go tomorrow.
One party, headed by William F. Taaffe
and ]. B. Enright, left this evening about
6 o'clock by private conveyance. They
carried with them ample provisions and
several pack animals and go prepared to
do diligent and effectual work. They go
in the interest of San Francisco capitalists
and xpect to spend the winter at the new
diggings.
News of new but smaller strikes reaches
this city almost hourly and with each in
coming report there is a general renewal
of the excitement and interest. This az
ternoon meager news reached Redding OF
a rich strike of pure gold in the east fork
of Trinity River, almost directly opposite
Trinity Center. 1t is said-and the infor-
nation is undoubtedly auIhentic-that
two prospectors one recently from Ukiah,
Mendocino County, succeeded in tapping
a pocket out OF which they have taken
some $1,000. At first these men prospected
for quartz and did succeed in finding
tolerably rich vein of gold bearing quartz.
While carelessly digging around near
where they discovered their ledge they
ran their picks into what has turned out
be rich pocket and out of which they ex-
pect to take small sized fortune.
An old settler of Trinity. who has lived
in the Coffee Greek country for twenty
years and over, was interviewed by CALL
representative to-day. He gave the in
formation that the news thus far published
has been exaggerated very little. He states
that it would not surprise him in the
least if in few days news would be sent
out of an immensely rich strike right in
the town of Weaverville. Weavelville is
situated in a basin and the ground Is
known to contain gold in good quantities.
Parties digging wells have at various
times encountered free golu, and IN all
the creeks and ravines gold can be panned
out at any time. He states that the
Hickory Creek discovery of Murphy and
Burgess was exaggerated jlst trfe, and
that instead of $50, O00 the actual amount
taken out was $63 600. Numerous other
smaller finds have been made in that
neighborhood and many claims are now
being taken up.
