Capitalist c. H. Vines So Says of the New Klondike
 Country.
Impressions of an Investor-His. Estimate of This Seasons Output About Twelve
 Million Dollars.

To say that am greatly pleased with the far north gold country would be ex- pressing my opinion too mildly, for I am profoundly impressed with the belief that It IS the greatest gold region the world has ever known. Its richness and possi- bilitfes of development are beyond con- cepton."
 The foregoing were the remarks of c. II. Vines at the Palace yesterday MT Vines is the attorney for and a member of wealthy New York syndicate which owns number of the richest claims in the KlondilSe and has just returned from trip made for the purpose of investigat- ing the properties and their titles As his views are from the unbiased standpoint or a capitalist and not of an excitable gold-seeker his opinions are of particular interest and value.
 '1 had exceptional opportunities to ob- tain certain inside information,1 particu- larly from the Canadian officials, con- unued MT. Vines. For instance, the Gold Commissioner informed me that he had on hand $3,0o0 GOO in gold dust collec- ted thus far in royalties At the same time he said that sum was misleading as a basis for estimating the output. It was the opinion of the commissioner that fully three-fourths of the gold washed out this season had not been reported and never would be, as it was impossible for the au- thorities to keep posted as to the actual product of the many mines. and they are largely dependent upon the honesty of the miners.
 At the Headquarters of the Alaska Commercial Company I was informed that they had $4,0OO000 in dust, but no idea as to how much more would come in. They were also of the opinion that the outside world was woefully ignorant of the mighty gold-producing resources of the country.
 '"'The North American Transportation Company was not so communicative. I had considerable gold dust l desired them to take care of, but they refused abso- lutely to handle it. They said they had both their large safes and several big tool chests full and the available space in their storeroom was occupied with bags of the yellow metal, In fact such pack

 cent da PaI11

The regular quarterly meeting of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was held yesterday afternoon at st. Roses Church and the work of the past three months reviewed. The various reports read clear ly indicated the good work accomplished among poor and destitute families, as out of the s1650 received from subscribers and various charitable sources more than $500 was expended in assisting as far as possible the poor and needy families de- pendent upon the organization
 The meeting was called to order by C. D. Douglass, the acting president, who pre- sided in the absence of Archbishop Rior- dan. Father Prendergast delivered an ad- dress upon the subject of the good work accomplished by the society in the past. expressing the hope that in the future it would be as well supported and assisted by those who take pride in encouraging its progress and disseminating the work of charity among the poor.
 To illustrate fully the vast influence the society exercises among the city's poor a report, mentioning the number of fam files benefited during the past three months, was read. The total number re- corded was between nine hundred and a thousand. The meeting was adjourned until next October.

ROBBED AND THROWN
 INTO A WATER TROUGH
OF
PAINFUL EXPERIENCE
 RICHARD NEWMAN.
Aftermath of a Dance at B'nai B'rith Hall Which Turned Out a
 Failure.

A club of which R. NJ. Silvey. barber at 12 Eighth street, is the president gave a dance at B'nai Birth Hall Saturday night. but 1t turned out fizzle, as only few couples made their appearance. Then there was trouble, and the musicians and doorkeepers demanded their money. It looked serious for Silvey when Richard Newman, who was selling badges, jumped in and took Silvey's part.
 About dozen of them left the hall to- gether and walked along Market street to Eighth. where Silvey left them. The others, including Newman, continued on their way till they reached a saloon at Ninth and Howard streets, where they went in and had some drinks.
 Newman Is boy about r years of age and Is employed as a janitor at 1209 Market street The dispute commenced at the hall was renewed in the saloon and they all turned their wrath upon New man for backing up Silvey. When they got outside. about o'clock in the morn ing, eight of them surrounded Newman, and after taking his gold watch and 50 cents from him threw him into the water trough in front of the saloon.
 Newman's yells for help were heard by out of the trough. The eight men ran along Howard street and lodged into a saloon at Tenth street, making their exit by the rear.
 Hemenez took Newman to the Southern station, where he told his tale of woe to Lieutenant Hanna. He presented a pit fable object in his bedraggled clothes He gave a description of the men and the police expect to have them behind the bars soon.

suit of wealth. They say they can't af- ford to pay men $15 per day for pick and shovel work and then give the Canadian Government one-ffth of the gross yield, and they are doubtless right.
 What greatly impressed me Is the wealth and extent of the bench claims. As an instance I saw a claim on the ninth tier in French Gulch which appeared to be 1000 feet above the creek bed which was turning out 5000 per day. What ex- tent of territory this class of ground coy- of the diggings will probably occupy years. As to quartz ledges, after care full investigation I am strongly inclined to the belief that they no longer exist in that region.
 AS to the future possibilities I would say that they are apparently immense. Anywhere along the Yukon for a distance of 300 or 400 miles there Is a moraIne de- posit, the river now flowing in some places 1000 feet below the old bed. The reasonable conclusion is that this pre- historic river bed must be fabulously rich in gold as result of centuries of glacial based on the now generally accepted the ory that the wealth of the Klondike is due to such an agency.
 Those who have gone to the Yukon or other rivers expecting to successfully dredge the river bed for gold will be dis appointed. The presence of immense quantities of detritus In all the large streams will make such work impossible. Incidentally if I were going to prospect for quartz I would go to the North Pacific coast. There are several thousand miles of coast line that bear every evidence of being rich In gold-bearing quartz, and believe it Is only question of a short time when its existence there will be proved.

The First Regiment League of the Cross Cadets Arrive in the City After an
 Enjoyable Week at Santa Rosa.

The First Regiment League of the Cross Cadets, under the command of Colonel w. P. Sullivan Jr., arrived in San Fran cisco yesterday afternoon from Santa Rosa, where the weeks annual encamp- ment was held this year. The cadets were all in perfect health and reported having a most enjoyable time. Colonel Sullivan stated last evening that the encampment was a great success; that the boys had behaved wonderfully well and that the regiment had made a very favorable inn pression on the Santa Rosa residents.
 Yesterday was the last day In camp for the boys and on account of 1t being Sun day drills were dispensed with. There was a military mass at a. m. celebrated by Rev. Father Cassin in camp, which was largely attended by the residents of Santa Rosa Father Cassin at the commence ment of the service stated to the boys that the mass would be offered up on be- half of the soldiers in Manila and also in behalf of the cadets present at mass. At the close of the reading of the gospel of the day the reverend father made the boys short address, congratulating them on their good behavior and their strict attention to discipline during the encamp- ment. On the arrival of the regiment in the city this evening 1t marched up Mar ket street to it's armory, where 1t was dis missed.

They Assault and Rob
 a Boy.
GAVE THEM A HARD BATTLE
B. HoLBRooK's ROUGH EXPERI-
 ENCE IN MARIN.
After Being Knocked Senseless With the Butt of a Rifle His Teeth
 Were Kicked Out

B. Holbrook, the son of the ex-secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruel ty to Children, was brutally assaulted by two men while visiting lFnacio. Marin County, yesterday. The result was that he was compelled to go to the Receiving Hospital last night to have deep gash in his head dressed.
 The unfortunate young man also had three of his front teeth kicked out by his brutal assailants.
 Holbrool1 and a party of friends went to Marin County intending to spend the day at Ignacio. Durin~ the afternoon Hol- brook and a young man named H. Jacob son, who lives at 2909 Harrison street strayed away from the party. They had their guns with them, and seeing a flock of doves they proceeded to display their craftsmanship. Scarcely had they loaded their weapons when two men who, Hol, brook says were SpaniardS, accoSteo them and placed them under arrest for trespassing. When asked to show thelr authority one of the men attempted to take Hoibrook's gun away from him.
 The young man refused to give up the weapon when the alleged SpanlarQ trleo to wrest it from him. In the struggle that followed Holbrook was struck on the head presumably with some blunt instru- ment, felling him to the ground. lie knew nothing more until about an hour later when he regatned consciousness. TO his surprise he found himself about a half mile from the scene of the assault He was covered with blood that flowed from the wound in his head. Ills mouth was also bruised and bleeding and three of his teeth were gone.
 The injured youth staggered back to the camp. where he had left his friends. After hearing his story of the assault they decided to bring him to this city for medical treatment.
 Holbrook says that one of his assail- ants carried a rife in his hand, and he thinks that he used it on his head After he had fallen unconscious to the ground the ruffians kicked him in the mouth, knocking out his teeth. The desperadoes then robbed him Of his gun, but made no attempt to take his valuables.
 The police of this city have notified the authorities of Marin County, and every effort will be made to apprehend the bows assailants.

THE DANGERS of White Horse Rapids. From
 a Snapshot Photograph.

by rail a man can now make the trip to Dawson by this route In about twelve days with some degree of comfort, pro- vided there are no unusual delays. There are now about five miles of the railroad completed and the company has a force of 900 men at work. Upon its completion with the present steamer service on the lakes and down the Yukon, the trip will be comparatively easy.
 ''The White Horse Rapids constitute 8 terrible stretch of water, as is slightly in dicated by a snapshot kodak picture I took of a French-Canadian batteau mak ing the shoot through the most dangerous part The day 1 was there five men were drowned and the strange fact in connec- tion with this wild river Is that in each instance where a boat goes down in the center of the rapids nothing is ever again seen of man, boat or outfit. Fortunately accidents are not numerous. The channel is only about 200 feet wide and Is supposed to be equally deep.
 Truly it Is wonderful country. Not withstanding the hard trip I have been greatly benefited in health and I regard the results of my experience as invalu- able.'
 MT Vines will start for New York to-day to report to his company.

"WHY SPAIN CAN'T WIN"
Rev. Locke Reviews Spain''s Cruel
 and Tyrannical Rule.

Standing room only was the condition of the Central Methodist Church on Mis- sion street last night. The Rev c. E. Locke discoursed on the war and the reasons Why Spain can't win.V He pre- faced his remarks by saying that he made no attack on any one denomination, but as history is history it must be repeated as found, because 1t is truth.
 Starting with the Inquisition. in 14Sl, which lasted for three centuries. he showed that during that time S2,O0Q hu- man beings had been slaughtered by the Spanish Government because they har- bored independent and conscientious opin- ions differing from those of the Spanish church. From the reign of Philip II down to the present day the history Of Spain Is one of continuous cruelty. Out Of a population of r 900 only 100000 can read and write, and the balance are very little better than slaves The his tory of Spain since the dawn Of enltght- enment in the middle ages has been as 1t was in the days of the. Inquisition, one of cruelty and tyranny.

While I was In their office a man came in who had been notified by the company to call and take away a big bag of the stuff as they would no longer be responsible for it.
