Vagaries of an "Auto" Driver.

1t is an interesting study to observe
how the different metropolitan employ
nlents develop typical peculiarities.
There is the newsboy, the cabman, the
messenger boy, the cable car conductor
and the horse car conductor $50 unlike,
although their employment is similar),
etc, all with marked characteristics
that tell of their occupations.
Just now we have a new species to
study. and it is most interesting-th
automobile man.
DO 1 enjoy my automobile?" an
sWered a society woman who had taken
one of these weird vehicles by the
month. Yes, I think, on the whole. l
do-that is. would if it We're not for
the driver. I am SO unaccustomed to
that sort Of servant, for, of course, he
is my servant for the time being He is
always doing the strangest thingsl A
few days ago [ made some calls, and
left my automobile waiting. and when
I came out found the carriage, but no
man. A passing boy cried out, He is
in the cab, nissus,' and there he was,
comfortably asleep on the seat. Fancy
a good livery stable allowing a driver of
a rented brougham to do such thingl
L
to particular number, he will suddenly
Dart off in some opposite direction, pay
ing no attention whatever to my sig
nails to stop, and finally draw up be-
fore the company's offices. Stopping for
power, ma'am,' is the only explana-
ton he deigns And there we wait
until the motor is changed.
"A few days ago I was nearly fright
ened to death. I was comfortably
seated in my automobile, waiting for a
friend who was going to drive with
me, when suddenly one of those horrid
small boys, who always seem to be in
the wake of an auto yelled, Hi lady,
your "auty's" goin' to run away with
youl Where's yer man?'
with a scream I sprang from the
vehicle and found, indeed, that / had
been sitting alone in it-a thing that I
dread beyond everything, because 1 feel
sure that some day 1 shall be the vic
tim of my runaway electric cab My
man was nowhere in sight, and you can
fancy my Indignation was not much ap-
peased when | noticed that he had
blocked the wheels with a box. A few
minutes later ! saw him come from
saloon. and without a word of apology
he mounted the box. l was simply
speechless with wrath.
why do I not change him? Why, I
have changed him three times. When
1 talk about my driver, I mean them all
the combined species-they are all
alike! 1 have not told you half, either.
The way he Furnishes me for scolding
him is by shaving cable coastini
down Murray Hill, swerving around
corners, etc oh. 1 assure you it is ex-
citing taking an electric cab by the
month. I advise you to try it.''-New

as the editor of this paper was driving
from Magalia to Lovelock he observed
a quantity of yellow earth spread even
ly over a large platform near the road
and guessing that this was the paint
mine which H. T. Epperson of Chico
has been developing and of which there
has been some talk of late, he decided
to investigate The gentleman in
charge, Eugene Foren, kindly showed
him about the place and explained some
of the details of paint mining.
The mine consists at present of a, tun-
mel eighty feet long, run in on the paint
deposit This deposit is in the shape
of a ledge, about seven feet wide. It's
course is east and west and it dips to
the south about 20 degrees from per
pendicular 1t has well defined walls,
the lower wall being quartz vein. The
earth is removed by means of pick
and shovel and car, and spread to dry
on the platform mentioned above.
Nevada, City Herald: The old st.
Johns quicksilver mine, situated five
miles from Vallejo Solano County, is
to be reopened, after years of idleness,
by new company recently organized
by Alf Tregidgo, formerly of this cou1-
ty. He is to be the superintendent.
Alfonso Tregidgo, who is the moving
spirit in reopening the st. Johns mine,
should be the very best man to under
| take it. He came to Vallejo in 1874,
and at the age of Is commenced his
mining education under John Neate.
Edward H. Rowe of Vallejo, the engin-
eer, was an old friend of his family
and from him Mr.. Tregidgo received his
engineering education

PARLEY'S CANYON CONDITIONS
Board of Health Officials Make an
Inspection.

Sanitary Inspector IRE and Clerk Fol-
land of the board of health made a tour
of inspection yesterday up Parleys can
yon. The barns. manure heaps, outhouses
and hog pens that line the creek for miles
above the reservoir were examined and
all the fragrant unsanitary conditions
noted. However, it was observed that
tn" ranchers had been cleaning up their
premises in anticipation of the visit to be
made today by members OF the council
committee on waterworks and other city
officials.
Superintendent Game of the water
works department is authority for the
statement that no water from Farley 5
creek has been turned into the pipe sys-
tenn since March "a but that does not al
ter the fact that when Parleys water is
clear or City creek is low the polluted
water from Parley's canyon is furnished
to the people of this city.
AS a matter of fact, the befoulers of the
once pure stream could be criminally pro-
ceeded against by the state board of
health, but this method would minimize
the evil complained of only in slight de-
gree. in the opinion of city officials the
proper remedy is to clear out all the
ranches in Parley's canyon, either by
purchase or condemnation proceedings
and thereafter to protect the stream from
pollution the same as is done in CITY
Greek canyon.

Final Outcome of Sacramento Liti-
cation.
MARSHALL IS AFFIRMED
HELD THAT CURTIS AND BOW
LEY LOST THEIR INTEREST.
Main Point In the Case Was That
the Plaintiffs Had Acquiesced So
Long-suit Brought Five Years
After Claims Had Been Located
Two Demurrers Sustained.

The litigation in the federal courts
involving a claim to a two thirds in
terest in the Sacramento mine has
finally resulted in decision from the
United States circuit court of appeals
in favor of the mining company and
Josiah S. Ladn, who located the mine.
A dispatch giving this information
came yesterday from st. Louis, where
the court of appeals has been in ses-
sion. This is the court of last resort,
as no question could be taken to the
United States supreme court except by
the unanimous wish of the judges of
the court of appeals-a thing very i'm
probable.
NJ. j. Curtis of Sacramento, Cal, and
A. D. Bowley of San Francisco were
the plaintiffs in this suit. They brought
a bill in equity against Mr.. Lakin and
the Sacramento Gold Mining company,
asking that they be adjudged to be en-
titled either to q two-thirds interest in
the mine and its profits or that they be
declared the owners of two-thirds of
one-half OF the capital stock, namely,
49,, $685. of the 100000 shares, in case
an alleged partnership agreement
should be held to be valid
The two questions raised were: first,
that of partnership by the plaintiffs;
and, second, that of laches by the de-
PENDANT. Plaintiffs represented that
they had grub-staked Mr.. Lakin and
were entitled to a two thirds equity,
because of some supposed understand
ing between them and him.
The suit was brought in the United
States circuit court here in 1897. AS
Mr.. Lakin had located the Sacramento
and Excelsior lode claims five years
previous, the attorneys for the defend
ants, Messrs. Booth, Lee g. Richie,
raised the point of laches on the ground
of the long acquiescence shown by Cur
tbs and oBwley and demurred to the
bill. Judge Marshall sustained the de-
murrer, but gave leave to amend the
bill, which was done. a second demur-
rer was sustained and the case was
thrown out of court. Messrs Curtis
and Bowley elected to stand upon this
judgment and took appeal.
The two claims the Sacramento and
the Excelsior Lode, were located by
Mr.. Lakin May A. 1892. Judge Marshall
held that by reason of their long ac-
the PLAINTIFFS could not
show any equity and therefore had no
case. This the appellate court affirms.

Extensive Improvements to Be Made
On Road Bed.
NEW BALLAST AND STEEL
LOCOMOTIVES WILL BE DELIV.
Erred AS NEEDED.
Idaho Branch Will Not Be Built This
Season-Important Conferences of
Passenger Oficials-Short Line
Contract Goes to Corey Bros
Northern Pacific Lands.

The contemplated improvements on
the Short Line viii soon be pushed
with vigor. At the time of the visit
of President Cornish some weeks ago,
matters were pretty generally gone
into by that gentleman and the officials
here. The suggestions which were
made by the management at that time
were taken to New York and have been
acted upon. In an interview with a
Herald reporter yesterday, Mr. BAN
croft said that it had been decided that
the work this year would be upon the
Toadbed mainly. most of the work
being of the nature of ballast and the
laying Of new steel. In some places
the grades would be lowered, but moth
ing of a heavy character in that line
was at present contemplated. The
company has given up the plan of cut
ting down the grade at the Apex hill
near Dillon Mont. though it was at
first thought that this would be done
Speaking OF rolling stock, Mr.. Ban
croft said1that it had been decided not
TO build any Of the combination en-
gines like those used upon the Butte
Anaconda q Pacific. and which were
tested some time ago by MIR. Calvin.
Instead of these q heavy freight en-
CINE would be used. Two more of the
h5lhSS bulII obt INC 1 dllefSOn IN d.
works We're completed, and would be
here some time next week. From this
time on the engines ordered would come
regularly from the works as fast as
the traffic increased and they were
needed.
When asked concerning the branch
to st. Anthony, in Idaho, Mr.. Bancroft
said that the building of it this season
was out of the question, though it
would surely 90 through in the near
future. 1t was his opinion that the
line would branch off at Idaho Falls,
instead of at Market Lake.
