Chicago, Oct. 4.-The Orange Judd
Farmer, in its final estimate of the wears

actual threshing returns Indicate a total
yield of 5s9,0OO,OO0 bushels, of which
573,53O,000 bushels is winter and 2l5 40.
ooo bushels spring wheat. With the ex.

ity OF the soil. The spring wheat yield
IN Minnesota and the Dakotas has PROV
ed disappointment, the aggregate being
only l29,OO0,O00 bushels. The shortage
there is in measure counterbalanced by
the good yield in Nebraska, Oregon and
Washington.
The report says the corn crop is ex-
ceedingly disappointing and on an out
side estimate of l,75O,OOOOO0 bushels.

Line Into ROssland.

Montreal, Oct. 2.-It is announced that
the Canadian Pacific railroad intends
without delay to extend the railroad into
Rossland, B. c., and that capitalists close
ly identified with the railway company
have partly completed arrangements for
the erection of large smelter on the Co

land ores practically at cost, and the
shipping mines will be connected with the
smelter by an aerial tramway.

THE CONSTITUTION OF KENTUCKY.
New LAW VIII Affect the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company.

Frankfort, KY, Oct. 2.--Last Tuesday,
the day on which the new Kentucky con-
stitution became six years old, was the
day on which the law says all parts OF
charters in conflict with the new consti-
tuition and the new corporation law
stands repealed. The auditor and other
state officials have just concluded that
this repeats all the special privileges con-
tanned in the charter of the Southern Pa
cifc Railroad Company, thus this COM
pany is put upon the same footing with
all other corporations, including those
chartered since the adoption of the con-
stitution, and which must pay fran
chise tax.

POOL DENS ARE
FINALLY CLOSED
Supervisors Put the Stamp
of Their Disapproval
on Them.
A Unanimous Vote of the Board
in Favor of the Poolroom
Ordinance.
Betting Can Only Be Carried On
Within the Confines of
Racetr ack.

The Board of Supervisors crushed out
young men and boys have been gam bling
away their own and their employers
money by finally passing the poolroom
ordinance yesterday.
When the board placed the stamp of its
approval on the measure few weeks ago
and decided that the bucket-shops must
go out of business, it was supposed that
the Mayor, as matter OF course, would
sign it at once, inasmucE as it was desired
by the business community as well as by
the better element of sporting men, who
attend horserace meetings more for the
pleasure of seeing a weIl-con tested race
than for the betting that is usual accom-
paniment.
The retiring chief executive, however,
held the ordinance the full time permitted
by law and then sent it back TO the board
without his signature, thus informing the
board that he did not approve OF the
measure.
1t was understood at the time the mem
bers heard that the order was to be vetoed
that the Mayors course would not be
sustained, and yesterdays proceedings
carried ou. this view.
The board met IN the morning and
passed the ordinance to print over the
veto.
In the afternoon when the measure had
been printed in the official newspaper as
required by law the board met again and
by q unanimous vote finally declared the
ordinance necessary one, and made 1t
municipal law.
Mayor Sutro's motives in vetoiEg the
order have been severely comm ented on
by those who recognize the dem oralizing
influences of the pool-selllng dens. 1t Is
freely said that his only reason is because
the railroad which he chooses to consider
his ancient enemy has two lines of road
running to the racetrack where many OF
the patrons of the track will 60 now that
the poolrooms are to be closed.
= These dens have brought more or less
odium on the horse racing and raising in
terests that have brought capital and en-
terprise to this coast, and the mercantile
community will feel heartily glad that
they are not to be permitted to flourish.
Messenger boys, errand-boys, clerks and
others, who have neither time nor money
to spare, were permitted to gamble. while
the odds posted in these deadfalls the
sharks who lived off their earnings or pill
fering accepting wagers down to two
bit piece in their easerness to keep up
their nefarious business.
The genuine sporting men, who go to
races to see spirited contest, never low
cred themselves to enter the dens, and
they as we'll as the rest OF the community
will say, Good riadance to bad rubbish.
The San Francisco call., 1897-01-03

we'll play; we know he is professional.
But can't you allow Hall to play?' Then
they became inconsistent by lining up
with those men, and in doing so showed
professional intent. | told them then tha at
/ must declare them professionals. l have
no doubt the board of managers, at its
meeting next Friday night at the Olympic
Club, will uphold my ruling, though it
may not, as there are twenty-five men,
bers to consider my opinion. Thequestion
OF the status of the Butte team will be
taken up at that meeting"
Then President Humphrey went on to
remark upon the prevailing ignorance on
this coast of what a pure amateur is. He
limited at some thorough investigations to
be made into the status of oil athletes at
both the universities. He said that he
objected to the recent transfer of Reliance
players to tue Olympic team. He con-
siders the employment by any strictly
amateur organization of persons not bona
tide memb bers a manifestation of laxness
amounting to professional intent. He
had heard it stated that the names of
several men who have represented both
the big athletic clubs this season are asSo-
ciated with those clubs solely as football
players and neither as paying nor honor
AIRY. me mbers, recorded upon the official
register as active members.
He declared that the union bad not rec
ognized the recent boys coast champion
ship base ball games as amateur contests +,
and he regretted that in one of the final
games the members of two of the teams
were made professionals by arranging a
special game, the proceeds of which were
distributed among the players.
In connection with college athletics he
mentioned that if what he has heard be
true Edgren, the weight-thrower, is not
properly representative of the Univer-
sity of California, except for intermittent
registration at the art school previous to
intercollegiate field days.

GOLD IS ON THE GROUND.
Randsburg One of California's
Greatest Mining
Camps.
J. w. Kelly Says More Gold Is Scat
tered Over the Surface There
Than Anywhere Else.

John w. Kelly, a well-known mining
man of the State, is in the City on busI-
ness and will return to Randsburg and
Inyo County in day or two. Mr.. Kelly
has rich mining properties in both Rands-
burg and Inyo County. Speaking OF
Randsburg he said:
, ''There is more gold scattered over the
surface in Randsburg than in any camp
was ever in. l think that California and
the West promise to have there one OF
the richest camps. Every man who has a
claim in the belt feels himself a million
aire. 1t is being watched by mining men
from Montana, Colorado and Nevada.
"Among the richest properties are
those owned by the Rand Company and
P. Reddy & Co.." he said. "One OF the
best of these is the Olympus chute of ore
which runs $50 10 the ton. There are
twelve claims IN the Rand Com pany
group. Rich seams run all over the hill
apparently tending toward the Olympus
ore body. They get ore hauled ana
m lied Tor SS so per ton.
"0ther rich finds are the Kenyon,
Wedge and Butte properties. The Ken
yon has millel ore from depth of 70
feet, being taken feet wide from the vein,
and 1t runs SIG per ton. The st. Elmo,
owned by Bakersfield parties, is six miles
from Randsburg, III the .Mojave desert
Some very rich ore has been taken out
there. 1t is right in the desert. A pros
pector in passing the spot hit a big bowl
der clip picked up the piece he knocked
off, and there it was-rich quartz.
"Randsburg is a typical mining town
and is growing very rapidly. The popu-
latlon IS now between 1900 and 1000 people,
and more are coming ia every day.
Buildings are going mp rapidly. A daily
newspaper was started Two or three weeks
ago. Squatters have settled on some
placer claims. and there may be some
trouble over it some day, but it has not
appeared yet. These claims are taken up
ana are in the town."
Mr.. Kelly has some rich copper veins in
Iryo County. He Will so there and start
the work of opening them up before he
goes 10 Randsburg.
