San Francisco Bulletin: There is no singer in the world who can draw more than $12,O00 house. There is no ora tor who can much raise the $1 admis- sion fee without exposing himself to the danger of speaking to empty benches If the four most popular de- baters selected by popular vote would advertise a discussion on any question of the day they would be fortunate if an audience could be gathered which would net each S1 ,o00 Yet it is stated that there was $S0,000 in the box office of the Coney Island Clubhouse on the night when Robert Fitzsimmons and James Jeffries met to see which could punch the other harder. and which could stand the most punishment.

walk on a level with the rest of the street.
If it had not been for the many new
buildings recently erected in this part Of
the city the change in level might have
passed unnoticed by the layman, though
of course our engineers and surveyors
have known about it all along, and with
delicate instruments have carefully kept
track of the subsiding thoroughfare.
Whenever new building is erected the
sidewalk has to be laid out in accordance
with the authorized city levels, which
have as their base a stone at the corner
of the sugar factory just under Tele-
graph Hill. This building is planted firm
on the solid rock, and therefore cannot
settle, so that the surveyors can always
rely on the measurements taken from this
point. If the whole of Market street had
been rebuilt at once this alteration in the
level would not have mattered very much.
But as it is, the new buildings, with their
inconvenient humps of sidewalks, are few
and far between, while the old structures,
many of them fimsy shanties, remain
unaltered cheerfully settling down with
the roadway into the blue mud of the bay.
The lower portion of Market street,
near the ferry" said Mr.. Tilton, the City
Surveyor, lis settling at the rate of two
or three inches a year Why, it is only
fifteen years since Market street was
graded up to its proper level, and since
then it has sunk between two and three
feet. OF course the rate of subsistence
vares-in some places it is greater than
others-but this is about the average"
Another practical illustration of the
fact, patent to the most casual observer,
is the new turntable now being put up by
the Market Street Railway Company in
front of the ferry depot. Stand behind
the turntable and you will see how much
higher it is than the foot of Market street.
The cars will have to run up quite an in
cline before they can be spun round and
sent back on their return journey up
town.
Just as there is no lack of practical
demonstration, so there is no lack of eX-
pert evidence available. Baron Uhlig
the chief dranghtsman for the Board of
Harbor Commissioners, has made a spe-
cial study of the question during his
twenty-three years service with the de-
partment There is no doubt about the
subsistence" he said; sit has been going
on for a long time, although 1 think the
rate at which the city is sinking is some
what less than in former years. Market
street is now two feet below the city

but Mr.. Coyote jumped through it and
went scampering gleefully over the
plains, being careful to run close to as
many prairie dog holes as he could. At
last old Pachugo was successful and
the coyote was pulled over on his back
with a broken neck, the lariat having
landed in just the right spot
Mr.. Miller jumped off his horse and
turned over the dead animal. Sure
enough, there was the Hi. And
worse still there were the earmarks.
Miller & LuX's coyote beyond a doubt.
That was done by that Chinaman
over near Nevada" said old Pachugo.
I can tell, because the coyote smells
like rice"
AS the Nevada end of the ranch was
over hundred miles away Mr.. Miller
could not make old Pachugo prove his
statement. But he was by no means
convinced so he made the whole crowd
put in the day on a coyote hunt.
If ! knew which of you it was I'd
fire him right now" said Miller.
Glad I'm not that Chinaman," said
old PachugO
I'm tell you who it was" said Char
ley. That is if you don't believe it
was them Portuguese"
well, out with it, The Portuguese
didn't do it. 1 know" said Miller
AN right" said Charley, ut was that
Niger over on the west side, and he
done it fur your interest"
My interest? What do you mean?"
yelled Miller, beginning to get mad
again.
well, you see," said Charley, there
amt no bounty on coyote scalps just
now, so there amt no use in killing
them Now the niger figgered that
he'd brand all the coyotes in the State,
and then when you get the bounty law
Of 81 so a scalp re-enacted at the next
Legislature nobody would have a right
to kill the varmints except us. And
you can just figger on how much money
we'd have"
Then without a word Mr.. Miller got
on his horse and rode off, his head
buried in the deepest kind of thought.
The last words any of the cowboys
heard him say were: Thirty coyotes
killed fur nothin'"
Enough branded coyotes were found
during the days hunt to show that If
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-04-02

the vaqueros had not been in the bust
ness in a wholesale way they had Ger
tainly branded enough coyotes to make
the double II mark famous in all the
coyote villages throughout California
After Miller had gone the vaqueros
admitted that the branding was done
by them just for fun" Riding the
range and working the roundup oc-
casionally needs something to enliven
1t. When the bounty was removed from
coyote scalps the animals increased
rapidly and the horseback riders grad
ually fell into the habit of putting
spurs to their ponies in chase and
roping the animals. One day one of
them, in a frolicsome mood, clapped
the branding iron on the animal, added
the Miller & Lux earmarks and turned
the coyote loose, Just to help swell
the big herds carrying the same marks
and to start double H coyote herd"
Inc men in the different headquarters
of the big ranch looked on this as
tremendous piece of ranch humor and
thereafter roping and marking scam
pering coyotes became one of the
standing jokes of the range rider.
Some of the vaqueros became so eX-
pert in this line that they began to
take a pride in the character of the
work and in the increasing number of
coyotes they added to the herd. Grad
ually the most expert of them began
to lasso big hares and soon there was
started a brand of jackrabbits bearing
the double H brand and earmarks.

States bonds and diamonds were cap
tured with Mcdonald, and $4,000 in bonds
were found in the possession of Austin
Bidwell in Havana.
The scheme by which the enormous for
geries were successfully carried to a
profitable result was remarkable. Nc
Donald the BdWells and Noyes secured
a building close to the Burlington Gar
dens Branch of the Bank of England and
posed as American merchants who had
secured large contracts for supplying
parlor coaches to Continental railroads.
They opened an account with the Bur-
lington Branch Bank, and conducted bust
ness apparently on a solid, substantial
basis for several months before starting
to put their scheme into effect.
They had learned that time bills, when
deposited in a Bank of England branch
were not sent to the signers to be m
itialed, as is customary in this country,
so after fully establishing their credit
several good bills at short time were de-
posted. These went through all right.
and then several bills, the amounts OF
which by the use of acids and clever PEN
manship, had been raised were depos-
tied. These were at three months time
and were deposited at various times ana
in various amounts until the total rep
resented between 81. 900 900 and 81 1000 0OO
AS the money was drawn against tho
bills it was used in the purchase Of United
States bonds, and no suspicion was awak-
ened until it was accidentally discovered
by the bank officials that several of the
bills bore no date The bills purported
to be signed by the Rothschilds, Barring
Brothers, Jay Cooke and McCulloch &
Co., and messenger was sent to the or
ficers of these bankers to have the date
affixed. Then the forgery and check
raising were discovered.
The conspirators learned of the discov-
