MINfR-fDITOR-JUDGE
NOW MAKES DOLLARS
Head of Government Money
Mill Has Led an Event
full Life

Miner, school teacher, editor, lawyer
iurist. Edward Sweeny. superintendent
of the United States mint at San Fran
cisco. has led rather a strenuous hte'
and, like many of the VESTS fore
most men, risen through many difncui-
ties to the station he now occupies.
Though a native of Massachusetts
Sweeny is in every other sense CAN
fornian. and the tale of how he fought
his way upward is one worth the ten
ing.
The present superintendent was
very small boy when he crossed the
California line with his parents a1ter
a hard trip from Fall River, but as
soon as he was able to swing PICK
he was out mining, and many a sec
ton of northern California has ne eA-
plored in a vain search for the gold ne
now eoins-for other people-by the
millions of dollars. But he studied, too,
and began teaching school when stlII
in his teens. When not 1nstructlhS
the youth of Red Bluff. as principal
of the school there, Sweeny read law
in the office of Colonel Z. j. Lewis, and
finally went east to the Albany law
school
Returning he practiced law in Shasta
county, and his record was such that
for three terms he was elected dis
trict attorney. The people allowed him
to relinquish that office only to enter
a higher one, and for two terms he was
elected to the superior bench. In Sep
tember, 1907, he came to San Francisco
to assume the superintendency of the
mint.
While teaching school and reading
law, not taking count of the trips he
made to the mines, Sweeny was editor
of the Peoples Cause, a weekly Red
Bluff paper that still exists, though
now published as daily. Sweeny made
the newspaper a frank and strong one,
and laid there the foundation of the re-
spect and esteem of his fellow citizens
that later led them to choose him so
often for office of trust and honor.

to the fullest extent which the condi-
tions surrounding the timber and 1um-
ber industry would permit him to ap-
ply any practical operations.
Among Mr.. Walkers many articles
and addresses an important review Of
the forestry question appeared in the
National Magazine for January of this
year. And an address on the forest
problem of the future was given before
the Minnesota Academy of Science in
February of this year. Various papers
were furnished at the request of the
conservation committee, the United
States forestry department, the interior
department and the ways and means
committee of the house for considera-
tion in the matter of tariff on lumber.
Mr.. Walker further states that if the
consumption of our timber supply con-
tinues at the rate that has prevailed
in the past, it will practically exhaust
our forests in thirty years. unless ef-
fectiye means and measures are de-
vised and put into operation for pro-
lection and conservation and feforest-
ing for a future supply.
Mr.. Walker demonstrates that the
largest share of responsibility for the
destruction of our forests rests on the
national government and an adverse
public sentiment He claims that until
recently no heed has been paid to the

RICHMOND COAL

Australian Product Served to
San Franciscans by James

The principal collieries owned by

complete modern plant. The output
Of these collieries has increased con-
sfderably and averages about 5000 tons
daily.
The Duckenfield, formerly Mimi.
was opened about 45 years ago, and
the seam of coal worked there is known
as the Borehole. This mine is about
Il miles from Newcastle, and the coal
taken from it is shipped both at Hex
ham and the first named port Duck

and is used for gas, domestic and steam
purposes, but principally for the lat

coal from the latter has been found
better adapted for gas and domestic
uses.
Richmond coal may be safely said to
be a combination coal, well suited for
gas, domestic and steam purposes, and
for gas and domestic use there is
no better coal imported from Newcastle
than, Richmond coal It has made a
name for itself in the San Francisco
market 1t is as well known as any
other coal here, and much sought after
by householders, hotels. restaurants,
etc.
Richmond Vale was bought by
Messrs. James & Alex'r Brown some
The seam is the main one of the Matt
land Measure, and the coal obtained is
of a first class nature Machinery of
the very latest kind has been erected
at this colliery and the results have
been shown that the coal is of the very
best.
The name of Brown is household
one in Australia in connection with the
mining industry, as the founders of the
firm started coal mining there some
seventy years ago, and during all this
period they have beentlargely engaged
in the export of coal to every port on
the Pacific coast from Chile to Alaska,
also the orient, South Africa, Java and
other places. The business has grown
very considerably under the present
management of Mr.. John Brown, who is
the eldest of the sons of the late Mr..
James Brown, one of the founders of
the firm. The latter has been in the
coal business all his life, and it is safe
to say that no firm in Australia, espe-
cially in the mining industry, has en-
tered more into the export business
than they have.
The head office of the firm is at New

Model Printing Plant
OF E. {. Hughes Co.

One of the most modern and complete
printing plants in the west is that of
the E. c. Hughes Co, which main
tains linotype machines, presses, large
and small book bindery and all the
equipment that constitutes the up to
date printing shop. A large force of
men and women is constantly employed
at the office and shop, ISL Minna street
near Third.
All varieties of job and commercial
work are done by the company, cata-
logue printing, booklet work en1 any
thing. in fact, that is desired. The
bookbindery is a more than usually
good one, and many employees are kept
busy there.
Some of the work done by the firm
in the higher branches of the printer S
and bookbinder's art has caused much
favorable comment, for the material
has been well handled and the result
an artistic one. With its complete
equipment the firm is able to handle
the most difficult work that other
printing establishments, because of
their less complete plant, are unable to
handle.
The use of every modern device, and
the resultant saving in cost of opera
tion, enables the z. c. Hughes Co.
TO quote satisfactory prices on all kinds
of work.
The San Francisco call., 1910-02-20

No question can be of more pressing
interest to California than the owner
ship of its timber lands, and this state
ment is particularly true when it is
considered that within its borders are
the grandest forests in the United
States In fact this state has almost a
monopoly Of several kinds Of timber,
and these the kinds that are and will
be the greatest in demand. The time
will soon come when the United States
must look to California for its best
soft wood. Unless the forests are con-
served the supply of timber will soon
be gone, as is the case with so many
of the other great states. California
cannot afford TO lose this, her greatest
resource.
AS the timber viii be wasted or con-
served, according to the policies of its
owners, let US inquire who these own
ers are. and what will be their policies
in handling them.
This inquiry will lead to the knowl-
edge that Mr.. T. B. Walkers timber
land holdings are perhaps not equaled
by those OF any other person IN the
United States. They consist of large
areas in the counties of Siskiyou, Shas-
ia. Modoc, Lassen and Plumas, and
-
pine timber lands Of California.
The waste or wholesale destruction
Of this timber would do the state an
irreparable injury, so it must be of the
greatest interest TO CalifOrnians to
learn what the policy Of Mr.. Wake,
and his sons, who are associated with
him. viii be as to the conservative or

acquaintance with lumber and tim

the necessary elements that enter into
the question Of the future supply, than
has been given by any other person.
In recent interview with Mr..
Walker. asking him to give a brief
account of his views of conservation

Merced Falls Power
Co. Enlarging Plant

With rich country, constantly i'm
proving, as a field of action, the Merced
Falls Gas and Electric Company, oper-
ating in the most fertile section of the
San Joaquin valley, has begun the eree-
ton of new substation, which will
make the plant one of the most modern
in the world, besides adding greatly to
it's earning capacity. The Merced Falls
company has progressed steadily since
the awakening of the productive dis
trict around it.
Power for pumping is chiefly sup
piled by the gas and electric company,
for the Merced country is noted for the
opportunities it offers to those taking
up irrigated land. With cheap power
near at hand the problem of irrigation
becomes an easy one for these up to
date agriculturists to solve.
The company now has under way
plans for spreading its field of opera
tion over a yet greater territory.

STANFORD OWES
LIFE TO ATTORNEY
Francis V. Keesling Aided Alma
Mater When University
Seemed Doomed

Few men have accomplished as much
good for the community in which they
live as Francis V. Keesling, the well
known attorney, whose life for the last
u years, Notwithstanding his extended
practice in corporation and civil law
has been filled with a multitude OF good
deeds-deeds that meant hard work and
achievements gained under the greatest
difficulties. The state and city have
benefited from his labors, and Stanford
university from which the attorney
graduated in 1898, owes him debt OF
gratitude second only to that felt for
the founders of the institution.
1t was chiefly the efforts of Francis
Keesling. at the session of the state
legislature in 1899, that secured the
passage of the state constitutional
amendment which corrected vital de-
fects in the Stanford university foun-
dation and trusts, and the life of the
university itself depended upon the
passage of the amendment. Had the
attorney, then out of college but a
year. not worked SO well the institution
would have been unable to continue.
Mr.. Keesling served for 10 years in
the national guard, seeing hard service
as major of the coast artillery at the
time of the fire. He revised the mill
tary law of California, subsequent to
the passage of the Dick bill.
AS past master of California lodge
No l and past commander in chief of
san Francisco consistory No. 1, Scottish
rite, Mr.. Keesling is closely connected
with the Masons. He is a consistent
republican and was attorney for Cen
eral John A. Roster while the latter
was auditor
The attorney confines himself to a
pra ctice of civil law.

ATTORNEY IS MAN
OF MANY INTERESTS
Charles L. Patton, Prominent in
Practice OF Corporation and
Commercial Law

A prominent place among San Fran
cisco attorneys is occupied by Charles l..
Patton, the well known civil lawyer,
whose practice of corporation and COM
mercial law has identified him closely
with some of the city's largest interests.
The attorney has practiced law in this
city since 1887.
Patton was born in Petaluma in 1854.
He went to Philadelphia when 10 years
old, and later studied law there, add
ing to his legal knowledge in San
Francisco when he came here in his
twenty first year Ever since his ad-
mittance to the bar the well known
attorney has confined himself to the
practice OF civil law.
Although defeated for the Office of
mayor, when running on the republican
ticket in 1898, Patton has the distinc-
ton of having received a larger vote at
the election than any other republican
mayoralty candidate has ever been
given in the history of the munich
pality.
Patton is very prominent in frater-
nal circles. He is past grand master
of the Masons and past grand chan
cellor of the knights of Pythias, as
well as member of the Elks, Odd
Fellows and Native Sons of the Golden

IRRIGATION OUTLOOK
IN CALIFORNIA

Ofhcials of the United States geolog-
ical survey estimate that 16 California
rivers carry sufficient water, should it
be conserved properly. to cover H.
500. 900 acres of land with 50 inches Of
water, which is considered an ample
quantity for Irrigation Only about
1000 900 acres in this state are now
under cultivation. however, where ir-
rigation is in use.
This means that there is potential in
California rivers the irrigation of H.
500. 900 more acres than are at present
under Irrigation Many thousands OF
acres in the state are now suffering
from lack of water. and the loss due
to the lack Of proper reservoirs and
canals becomes clear when it is con-
sidered that the gross annual returns
per acre from irrigated lands avera ges
$3.50. This means that California'S -
100000 acres of irrigated lands return
$500, 900 600 per year.

Wireless Telegraphy
Taught at Institute

More than passing notice is due the
Associated Wireless Institutes here, the
first commercial wireless school to be
established anywhere. 1t is conducted
by Captain J. G. Hitchfeld, f. R. G. S.
principal of the United States Nautical
and Aeronautical College. and of the
Associated Railroad Telegraph Schools.
The school is q pioneer Of instruction
in a 6eId that offers unusual advantages
in a profession that is far from
crowded Congress has before it now
a bill. ratified by the last session OF
that body. that viii compel all pas
senger vessels entering American ports
TO install wireless plants. This viii at
feet over 100000 steamers, and Canada
and England already have passed sim
liar bills. so the field for wireless work,
in this branch alone. is very large.
Men considering the advisability Of
becoming lawyers or doctors find their
chosen professions overcrowded, but,
considered from every viewpoint. the
wireless field is open for thousands OF
lucrative positions. Many large com
panies having widely separated inter
ests are beginning to awaken to the ad-
vantages of wireless plants, for storms
destroy their lines of wire communica-
ton and much money is required to
install and operate such plants. The
city Of Philadelphia, too, has installed
2 municipal wireless plant and other
cities will follow suit. In every way
one.

which made their taxes higher 1t was
not the greed of the lumbermen-which
was only human-but the instinct of
representation that compelled the
owners of timber in Minnesota and
other timber states to turn it into lun-
Der in the quickest possible time. And
the policy which compelled this precip-
itate removal of the trees was also
responsible for the curtailment of the
interest of the forest owner in making
the best of the possibilities of his hold
ings.
In order to escape the burden of tax
alton he was compelled TO take only
the better grade of, trees and from
them take only the better logs and
leave the remainder for fire and decay.
Under the tax system he was con-
fronted with the certainty that the tax
would eat up the increased value of the
tree year by year. The lumberman
took off the growth of trees down to
the limit of numbering economy, and
the taxing body was compelled to tax
only for denuded land of little value.
