FRANCIS SMITH & CO.'S
 INTERESTING EXHIBIT.
One of the Most Striking Displays to Be Seen at the Mining
 Fair

Probably the most interesting exhibit at the Mining Fair is the actual repre- sentation of hydrauicking in the North Bloomfield Gravel Mine, in Nevada County, to be seen at the extreme west ern end of the pavilion upstairs. The sheet iron riveted pipe, used in this rep resentation, is from the works of Fran cis Smith & Co.,, 130 Beale street, which company was established forty-three years ago at North San Juan, Nevada County, by Francis Smith, and he it was who constructed the first line of riveted sheet iron pipe used for hy- draulicking purposes in California, and the line of pipe, 1900 feet long, is in use to-day.
 A piece of double riveted sheet iron pipe, No. Is iron, manufactured by Francis Smith in 1872 was taken up after being in constant use for twenty one years, under a pressure of 15O feet, at the Santa Barbara Water Works,

and to-day shows very little sign of wear.
 The superintendent of the San Mateo Water Works, unsolicited, lately sent a piece of pipe laid by this firm in July, been subjected to a pressure of 175 feet, and is in remarkably good state of preservation, as also is piece cut from a pipe laid at North San Juan by Fran cis Smith in 1859.
 These examples are quoted to show the quality of the work turned out by the firm, who to-day are better pre- pared, with increased facilities and the most skilled workmen, to manufacture sheet iron and steel pipe of any size, and to undertake contracts of any mag nitude and execute them in snort or der and in the highest state of perfec- ton. They make pipe not only for mining purposes, but for town water supply systems, power plants, electrical transmission, irrigation and we'll pur- poses.
 They have furnished the pipe system for the principal water companies on the Pacific Coast, and are now manu- featuring a plant for a new system or gravel washing in Idaho, at their ex- tensive plant in San Leandro. where they fulfill extra large contracts: Four years ago they made string or twen- ty-two miles of 30-inch sheet iron pipe for the Oakland Water Company, Wnlcn has given thorough satisfaction, and, although in constant use day ana night, pumping water under pressure of 100 pounds to square inch, has need ed no repairs whatever. The pr1nclpa. feature of their pipe is the coal tar ana asphaltum coating to which 1t Is SUD- jected, thus preserving the pipe against rust.
 Francis Smith & Go. also make spe- cialty of hydraulic giants. water gates, distributors and all necessary appn- ances for a complete mining water sys- tenn or power plants, and they are thor oughly competent to give advice as to the weights and sizes of the pipe re- ouired and the construction necessary.

SHARKEY AND CHOYNSKI. The Heavy-Weights Are to Be Matched to Fight Before the
 Empire Club.

Kid" Mccoy, for reasons best known to himself, has refused a grand offer from the Empire Club to fight Joe Choynski. Eddie Graney, the manager of Choynski on this side of the continent, telegraphed twice to Mccoy, but the clever middle weight failed to answer the dispatches.
 Yesterday Graney held a conference with Tom Sharkey, and the ex-sailor jumped at the proposition of a second meeting with Choynski. In fact, Sharkey said that he would agree to almost any terms, provided that he be given a fair chance to prove that he is entitled to rec ognition among the pugilists who are rat ed as being first-class heavy-weights
 Graney, Choynski and Sharkey will meet tomorrow and if nothing unfore- seen happens to alter the plans already contest between Joe and Tom, the lovers of fistic sport will witness a hot argu- ment in the ring some time in March.

to court and support him in his endeav- or to be made guardian over girl who was living in his house. Judge Slack re- fused to appoint him.
 There was no truth in the testimony given by George Delmer. He appeared before the board out of pure spite. That man was dropped from the so- ciety on account of the many com plaints made against him. I deny that I ever met Delmer or ever had any con- versation with him.
 What surprised me more than any thing else was Frank Holbrook going on the stand. He is a brother of the present secretary of the society, and everything has been done by the latter to keep him in good condition. All the positions he ever occupied was through his brother Charles, and now he turns around and charges us with starving our cattle. When he was employed out here there seemed to be sufficient feed, as he would come over in the evening for a bucket of meat to feed his dogs. He has been away from home for three days at a time.
 Now if any court will believe the testimony of these men against repu- table citizens I will be more surprised than the news of Delany's suit against me for criminal libel
 As to the charge of my being an associate of Oliver Winthrop, I can only reiterate that I never knew the man, never saw him and never had a word with him in my life. I have never had any dealings with Kelly and Grim mins, as was testified to. I have re- peatedly heard of them, but never came ia contact with them"
 Ex-Poundmaster F. A. Osborn will be called upon by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to account for two hundred dollars due the society when he retired. He will also be asked to account for a seventy dollar Mexican saddle and a fourteen dollar bridle that he is said to have purchased with the funds of the so- ciety Attorney Martin Stevens has been instructed to commence suit to- morrow if the money is not refunded.
 Osborn tried to explain it's disap- pearance to MT. Holbrook on his re- tirement by stating that he had ex- changed the saddle and bridle for a horse, and as he had turned the animal over to the society he thought he was square on that score.
