STAY AWAY FROM AFRICA.
A Frisco Man Says johannesburg is
Crowded With Idle Men.

San Francisco, April TT would
caution people to stay away from South
Africa at the present time. The con-
dition of affairs in and around johann
nesburg is deplorable, and for trades
men and artisans to go there now would
be madness"
This is how W. A. Hawley OF Grass
Valley expressed himself at the Grand
hotel today. MT. HaWley is a mining
superintendent and spent several years
in that capacity in the mines of Bar
nato, the eccentric South African min
ing millionaire. He left Johannesburg
on January 10 via London, and arrived
here a few days ago. It is not his in
tention to return to the South African
republic for some time to come.
Johannesburg, and, in fact, all parts
of the republic, is OVercrOwded,' re-
marked Mr.. HaWley. 1.-The results Of
such q state of affairs may be easily
foreSeen. Owing to a depreciation in
mining property values last fall little
improving is now being done. Thous-
ands of unemployed mechanics are
vainly seeking work. and when L Ieft
there hundreds of them camped out in
the plaza every night in the open air
for the want of money to procure suit
able accommodations. The immigra-
ton from Australia has been enormous,
and in fact people are crowding into
the diggings from all parts of the
world OF course these people have
been drawn thither by the exaggerated
accounts of the country sent out, no
and spectators. Many of them, unfor-
tunately, soon have reason to regret
their coming, for when they arrive at
johannesburg they discover that their
services are not in demand"
Mr.. HawIey stated that the rough
mining was done almost exclusively by
native laborers, who received about $40
a month for their services. The more
skilled miners, drill men and the like,
were paid IS a. shift. The stopers re-
ceived Is shillings and pence day
Carpenters average So day and black
smiths are paid a similar sum. Me-
chanics are not, however, in great de-
mand, owing to the industrial depres-
sion which now prevails in all parts OF
the republic. Board averages from $50
to s35 month.
MANY of the mines have shut down
because of a lack of water" said Mr.
HawIey. 1.-The past three seasons there
have been very dry, and the prospects
for another drought this year are very
hattering. All in all, affairs in the
republic are as bad as they well can

ON GUARD AT THE TOMB.
Heavy Guard Watch the Grant Re
pository Day and Night.

New York, April bright skies and
balmy breezes tempted thousands of
persons yesterday morning and after
noon to visit the Grant tomb, to see
how far the work on it had advanced
and to take a last look at the armOr-
steel case containing the body of the
general in the repository, before it is
broken Tor the transfer of the coffin
within to the sarcophaguS. Some of
the visitors arrived in costly turnouts,
some on foot and hundreds after hun
dreds on bicycles. Many persons there
in the afternoon were from distant pla-
ces outside of this city. The policemen
crowd yesterday was not so large as
that on the preceding day, but they ex-
pected that an unusually big throng of
Sight-seers would keep them busy from
morn till night today, if the weather is
fine.
For some time two policemen have
been guarding the repository night and
watching the tomb This morning the
guard at the tomb will consist of at
least a dozen stalwart graycoats, and
al night there Will be two watches in
stead of one.
In order to hasten the completion of
the work on the tomb and on the
grounds, an extra force of men has
about one hundred, and most of them
yesterday were employed in beautify-
ing the grounds. About 25 men were
busy yesterday in dumping dirt on the
river bank for at least several hundred
feet north from the end of the cycle
in readiness about the tomb will be
finished by about April II, and three
days later the erection of the stands
will probably be begun.

a Fraudulent Concern in the Hands
of the Officers.

New York. April THE offices of the
E s. Dean company, dealers in stocks,
bonds, grain and provisions, are in charge
of deputy sheriffs on an attachment. The
concern has done an enormous business
for some time past, the customers being
almost entirely outside of New York. It
has made a specially of discretionary or
ders." That is, the customers send in
their money for the company to place on
the market as it saw fit for their ac-
count.
The companys mail is said to have been
tremendous A large number Of girls
were constantly employed scattering cir
culars through the mail, pointing out the
large profit that could be made by send
ing money to be invested by the COM
pany.
The company has been doing business
for several years and is said to have re-
ceived hundreds of thousands of dollars.
One report says that E. s. Dean, the
ostensible head of the firm is a woman
residing in Chicago; another that the
name. is fictitious. Myron Bernard is
president of the company, Jacob Lom-
berg, who Is named one of the stock
holders, is an Is year old boy, and Louis
Balbach, another 'stockholder'' Is as in
tangible as E. S. Dean. The Dean com
pany is said to have branches in Toledo,
Indianapolis, Detroit, Cincinnati, Louis
Vile, Salt Lake and other cities thrOu gh-
out the United States.
