Editor Of the Enterprise:
When the rains came we five
WelingtOnians who wintered in
the afOrsaid cabin went to work in good
earnest and the mine paid bOuntifully.
The rain poured more heavy than usual,
it rained most continuously from early
November to the first Of January. The
stock of provisions in the mining region
was not adequate to feed the boards
that mad hOcked in from all parts Of the
world. And as the roads became almost
impossible the price of provisions
became fabulous. Potatoes went to $50.
hundred pounds, and flour to $50. But
this did not last long, as soon as the
rains ceased, aud the mud dried rapidly
50 a supply could be brought in from the
tide water at Stockton, the price then de-
clined to normal figures
We worked rain or shine under the
stimulus Of the yellow dust which was
as coarse as fine gravel.
Judge that the average yield was
about eight or nine dollars day. In
the spring rhinras returned to Yelling

a store of general merchandise. We
bought a lot in town and built two
story building on it, and rented the up

no rent to pay, we made money reason
ably fast. In those days goods were
shipped around the Horn in clipper ships
and it took from four to six months to
make the trip. As the number of miners

shoyels retailed at seven dollars apeice

was a glut, and sell out when there was

STOPPED BY A DEADMAN
A Defective Grip on a Geary-
Street Car Results in
Many Bruises.
Caught on a Trolley Pulley and the
Passengers Were Thrown From
Their Seats.

While car 364 of the Geary street line
was running down the hill on Geary
street between Laguna and Buchanan
yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, the grip
for some unaccouptable reason, seemed to
be forced into a position which made it
impossible for the grip to be loosened
from the rope. As is the rule, the grip
man endeavored to throw the grip open
when nearing the power house but before
the car could be stopped the grip caught
on the pulley known as a ''dead man."
which supports the rope, and came to
stan dstili with a crash. The passengers
were thrown from their seats and Con-
ductor T. Seyden was thrown against the
window in the rear of the car and his left
wrist was badly cut. He was taken to the
drug store on the corner of Post aud Buch-
anan, where his wound was dressed.
The four-yeaT-old child OF a. Cabraol,
709% Stockton street, was thrown violently
against the side of the car and received
painful bruises about the head and arms.
Mrs. Seis OF 2171& xth street was also
bruised about the mead as well as receiy-
ing a severe strain OF the back. The grip
mans right hand was badly bruised when
the shock came. 1t is thought if the car
had been in one section instead of two
many serious If not fatal I'M iuries would
have been received by the passengers, as
the two sections allowed the car to re-
bound to a certain extent.
The car was badly damaged at the coup
ling point and will be laid up for repairs.
The accident blockaded the road more
than an hour.

HIGHBINDERS UNHAPPY.
Sergeants Wolfweber and Shea Keep

Sergeants WolIweber and Shea Keep
the Homiciders on the Move.
Sergeant Wollweber Of the California
street station, aided by Sergeant Shea of
the Chinatown squad, is making 1t un-
pleasant for the hlghbinders in China
town who go about with murderous look
ing knives and long pistols.
During the past week more than a dozen
of the murderously inclined Mon golians
have been arrested by Wollweber and the
men under him in Chinatown, and In
every case pistols of long range fully
loaded and also butcher knives have been
found upon the persons of those arrested.
In this good work Sergeant Shea of the
Chinatown squad has been an able assist
ant to his brother sergeant in running in
the highbinders.
Daily and nightly raids are made
through alleyways and in the dens re-
sorted to by these Mongolians, and in every
case where a highbnder is found with a
weapon, he is taken to the California
street police station, where he is stripped
OF his arsenal and locked up, only to be
baiied out by the society TO which he
belongs.

MURMURS GROW LOUDER.
Severe Criticism of Methods of
Coach Mott and Captain
Haskell.
elimination of Disaffections in the
Ranks of the Football
Players.

BERKELEY, CAL, Oct. 3.-Now that
the latent disaffection in the ranks of the
California football players has found ex-
preston in the open revol. OF the big
Gene Sheehy, the crack guard, against
the methods of Coach Mott and Captain
Haskell, the dissatisfaction of the blue
and gold supporters is finding boder ex-
preston than heretofore. Criticisms tha
were formerly repressed as being detri-
mental to football interests are now being
openly uttered, and many declare that
since change is necessary il cannot come
too soon, as the time between now and the
Thanksgiving game is short.
Too many coaches giving orders is the
reason generally assigned for Sheehy's
withdrawal from the squad. Archie Pierce
has been coaching the big guard in addi-
ton TO the coaching OF Mott and Haskell
The instructions of the various coaches
d i'd not always coincide and Sheehy disre-
garded their suggestions, playing his
game according to his own ideas. On one
occasion Sheehy retorted to Pierce's orders
in very forci bic terms, and his refusal TO
apologize when ordered to do so by the
captain is said 10 have been Haskells rea-
son for taking him off the Varsity eleven.
At any rate, Sheehy's name was placed on
the list OF the second eleven and he re-
fused to play IN that capacity.
Several criticisms of Motifs methods of
coaching have been made by the players.
"Notts method" said one of the candi-
dates Yesterday, is similar to the method
employed in a Sunday-school class, where
department is the criterion. The men
who do whatever Mott tells them are
shown the preference, while those who do
not fall in with hi ideas are placed on the
third or fourth elevens." Mott has also
or ont rel " anla a6 G11ih ba
big freshman who, many OF the players
say, would be promising man if be only
had some instruction In the game of
which he is now ignorant. Mott is re-
ported to have said that he wished to
leave Guiberson to his own resources and
see how much aptitude for football he de-
veloped. During the daily practice for
the past week or SO the big guard has
spent gooo part oil the time on the side
lines.
The athletic committee meets NOR
row, and action on football affairs may be
taken then. Although the captain is
elected by the members of the previous
years team, he can be d splaced by the
committee. Haskell has been informed
of the feeling against him as captain, and
has declared that he is willing to resign if
his presence on the team will stand in the
way OF Berkeiey's prospects for Thanks
giving Day. Coach Mott refuses to say
anything whatever in regard to the exist
inz Implications.
Sheehy, just before the men lined up
against Reliance Saturday, remarking on
the reasons for his withdrawal, said: "If
you want to know why | quit, Just watch
the Berkeley men play to-day; see how
they are handled and what kind OF man.
agement there is. l have quit, and /
don't go back unless there Is a decided
