SETS A TIME LIMIT

The Point Richmond Canal and Land
Company finds itself i'll trouble with
the United, States Government over the
piles which it caused TO be driven
across Ellis Creek a short distance
from it's mouth at Point Richmond.
Colonel w. II. Heuer served notice on
the company yesterday that it must
extract the piling from the bed OF the
creek and gave it forty eight hours in
which to accomplish the work. failing
which it will have to reckon with the
Federal Government for interfering
with the navigable waters of Ellis
Creek.
The canal company is the owner of
a large tract between the town of Point
Iichmond and the bay. and to improve
this land it intended to dig a canal and
divert the waters of the creek As a
starter. line of piling was erected
across the creek.
This move was brought to the atten-
tion OF the Federal authorities by John
III. Nicholl. who owns land above the
proposed diversion of the waters. Fear
ing that he would be shut off from nav
igation, he went to the office of the
United States Engineers yesterday and
made an affidavit setting forth the
facts. Colonel Heuer at once issued
the order to the offending company.

GRAND JURYS EYE
ON POLICEMEN

Members of the Police Department,
while on their beats or other duty. are
being subjected to the continued sur
veillance of grand jurors, who are de-
termined that the patrolmen shall DO
their duty and rid the city of the thugs
that operate on the streets after
nightfall. Not only are Foreman b. p.
Oliver and Charles Sonntag of the po-
lice committee giving attention to the
work, but every man on the Grand
Jury is assisting.
II is realized that patrolmen are
given longer beats than they are able
to cover with efficiency, but it is the
opinion of the jurors that the men
do not do as well as they should.
even under the circumstances. The
habit that policemen have of congre-
eating on corners to pass a social half
hour is severely condemned
In my opinion" said a juror yes
terday. the thugs watch the move
ments of the policeman and after he
has passed by on his beat they get
busy. The fault is partly with the
policemen and partly with the system.
or lack of it. for which those in charge
OF the department are responsible"
The Grand Jury is noting the atti-
tude Of the Police Department toward
driving evil characters from the resi-
dence district. Chief Dinan was told
a week ago that his position depended
upon his activity in this respect, and
the force has been operating to some
extent along the streets contiguous 20
Fillmore street and Golden Gate ave-
nue., where the centers of vice have
been located.
The Grand Jury held no meeting yes
terday, having adjourned on Tuesday
to the, call of the chair. 1t probably
will reconvene Friday.

RICH MEN ACCUSED
IN OIL SUIT

While the charges made in the suit
brought Monday by Lawrence Harris
against the Graciosa Oil Company
were stated in general terms without
details, it was learned yesterday that
the action involves one of the richest
sections of oil land in the State. Har-
ris charges that 25, 900 shares in the
Graeiosa company which belonged to
him were wrongfully taken from him
and converted to the company's use.
Among t1Ae directors of the company
which Harris ~.-scct,ses are Henry J.
Crocker and B. Lieb.es of San Fran
cisco and several English capitalists.
The Graciosa Oil Company operates
on land in Santa Barbara County be-
longing to Harris. 1t is charged that
the $4,000 shares of stock paid to Har-
ris were non-assessable. However,
three assessments were levied which
Harris refused to pay. The company
ordered the stock sold, purchasing 1t
itself. At the present value of the
stock the 25.O00 shares are worth
$4,000.
trolled by the same corporation which
is building a large refinery at Oilport
in Southern California.
AS preliminary to contesting Har-
ris suit, the Graciosa Oil Company
filed two documents yesterday in the
County Clerks office. One is a GER
tificate of increase of the number of
its directors from five to seven, which
was determined at a meeting on Janu-
ary s. The other certificate is OF a
change of the principal place of bust
ness from Los Angeles to San Fran

made in June, 1901, but which has
never before been made a matter of
record.

You can not make sweet butter in .

In support of the proposition w. J.
Dingee maintained that an appropria-
tion to restore the parks would be an
allowance to everybody. The presi-
dent and superintendent were re-
quested to impress upon the Relief
Corporation that the annual allowance
from the city for the maintenance OF
the parks had been greatly diminished
by reason of the contracted assessment
roll and to further dwell upon the fact
that all the damage was caused in
caring for the refugees.
The work of|remoying refugees from
the city squares is progressing gradu-
ally. 1t was reported that only two
tents remain In Lafayette Square and
only two in Duboce Park. The Board
of Health was requested to remove
the Emergency Hospital from Jefferson
Square as early as possible.

AIR GRAFT Tests
FOR THE ARMY
Plans for Experiments With
All Manner of Balloons
and Flying Machines
NONE TO BE SIGHTED

WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.-Quietly. but
with a determination to satisfy him
self thoroughly on the subject. Cen
eral Allen, chief signal officer OF the
army, has been making preparations
for extensive experiments with bal
looms. airships and aeroplanes. with
view OF settling upon systems or
aerial navigation for use in operations
in the army. either in time Of peace
or war.
Recently there arrived in this coun-
try from France a type OF balloon
used by the French army, which was
purchased by the signal corps IN
order that it's merits might oeI
tested.
IT is the intention to conduct tbs
experiments at Fort Omaha. just out
side of Omaha, and for this purpose
$4,000 already appropriated has been
allotted for fitting up the fort with
all necessary appliances.
General Allen said today that he
would be prepared to conduct expert
ments with every conceivable kind OF
machine offered and each would be
given a trial before board OF officers,
but the departr3ent under no circum-
stances would purchase plans of ball
looms not already put TO practical
tests He believed this country was
far ahead OF any other in the matter
of flying machines.
1t is said that the balloon corps OF
the French army numbers at least
500 men, all expert aeronauts. and it
is expected by the department that
before long the American army will
have an equipment superior to that
OF any other army in the world.

JENNIE'S MILL FACILITIES
INCLUDE CONCENTRATION

Manager Charles A Short of the Jen-
ME and Wild Irish properties at Gold
Springs, came up from camp yesterday
morning. He states that the Jennie mill
has now been equipped with a Whitley
concentration. and that the plant is now
making a saving OF better than s. per cent
of the values in the ore. After starting
the mill It was soon discovered that the
plates would not recover anything like
the percentage of the gold in the ore that
they would likely have done had there
been no silver in the rock. With gold and
horn silver ard other forms of the metals
making in thj rock il was quickly deter
mined that concentration would have to
be added to the ama1gamation method of
recovering the values. In addition to the
values now being sawed on the plates, -
a concentrate Of extremely high grade is
being made on the Whitley table under
the skillfuIN handling of Superintendent
John Brooks
The ore bodies in the mine. Mr.. Short
states, are opening mp bigger and better
all the time. On the E5-foot level the ore
being mined is sorted as 1t comes out
and the rock carrying better than so q

ore that goes to the mill carries from s12
to so a ton.
