BURNS GIVES THE
STATE A SETBACK
Candelaria Bullion Brought
Here and Shipped North
for Reduction.

Colonel Daniel NJ. Burns has little
love for California. To be sure, the
Mexican mine jumper condescends to
manipulate politics for the people of
the State and he is willing to be sent
to the United States Senate, but be-
yond that Colonel Burns does not care
g farthing foT the commonwealth or
the inhabitants thereof.
Small wonder, then, that Burns
should ignore the California smelters
and send the bullion from his unlaw-
fully usurped Mexican mine way up to
Everett, Wash, for reduction. That
is what he does. paying the cost of
extra transportation from San Fran
cisco to Puget Sound, rather than pat
ronize local smelters.
Last Sunday the Pacific Coast steam
ship Curacao arrived from Guaymas
and other Mexican ports, and among
her cargo were thirty five bars of sill
yer bullion from the Candelaria mine,
valued at $4,000, which were shipped
by the Candelaria Mining Company
from MaZatlan. This bullion has been
transferred to the steamer Walla
Walla, which sails for Puget Sound
The San Francisco call., 1899-02-10

ports this morning, and will be taken
to Everett for reduction. The Pacific
Coast Steamship Company's boats are
not operated for the health of its di-
rectors and stockholders, consequently
the freight bill on these thirty-five bars
of bullion from here north will amount
to a tidy sum, but Colonel Burns is sat-
isfied to pay it rather than give the
bullion to Californians to smelt.
This has been going on right along,
and it is curious fact that while Col
onel Burns finds it convenient to send
his bullion to Puget Sound. British Co.
lumbia and other northern mine own
ers have discovered that it is to their
advantage to have their bullion sent
down here for treatment. The Walla
Walla on her last trip down brought
four carloads of ore for reduction
which. it was estimated, would yield
1900 to 1400 ounces of silver and about
$4,000 pounds of lead
