Jlcsohrd. As a tribute to bis memory, that we ex-press, inaddition to our deep regret at his loss, ourappreciation of the many excellent qualities of hissterling character.

Anumber ,of reporters were sunning them-selves infront ot the Old CityHall yesterdayafternoon, listening to the twittering of thenesting sparrows in the Plaza, guessing at thenumber of passengers in the passing street-cars, winking guardedly at any pretty, girlpromenaders and generally 'enjoying them-selves.' .The question as to the best use to putthe Plaza was brought up by one of thetalented scribes. He thought itwould be justthe place where the cityshould have a band toplay on every fine- afternoon, as it wouldbring out all;the handsome girla in the city,and reporters would then be given a chance toshow tbejr stalwart forms, ami possibly securea rich heiress. Another gifted genius thoughtif..the

'Supervisor^ would spread a finefree lunch ther^ twice a 'day, some of tbeuncaptured '

criminals wanted -by the \u25a0police,might turnup topartake of the city's hospital-ities 'and be- easily caught while r feeding..Another one improved on the idea by suggest-ing that free cots, wellsupplied withblankets,should be included 'in the free-lunch scheme,and the sleepers examined carefully everynight.* Then <came a suggestion that it•beturned over to C. C. O'Donnell for a lepercorral and ranch, and more ideas were freelyadvanced

'when Chief.Crowley, who had

quietly come up to the band of theorists, madethe" following remarks :"IfIhad Imy say inthe case, instead ofretaining the Plaza simplyas ahandy cut-off for the .convenience of theChinese, Iwould jhave |an armory bnilt thereand make itthe headquarters for the NationalGuard; or for some- of the regiments at least.Ithink the space is large enough for that pur-pose, and. besides that,Iwouldhave a portionof the buildingset aside fora strong detail ofpolice, who should be on watch day and night,with suitable sleeping quarters for the men.

;I;Iwould also; make it tbe stand fora couple,'ormore,' ifpossible, of police patrol wagons,properly manned. Then we wouldhe preparedto suppress ;any incipient riot at a moment'snotice, besides saving much valuable - time intaking ;obstreperous prisoners to the policestations with,the wagons. And that's whatI'ddo withthe Plaza ifIhad my way,"-saidthe' Chief as he turned onhis heel andreturnedto his desk in the upper office.

-Storekeepers have a dread ofa

store located on a "side hill street," and perhapsnot without reason, for peonle who go shopping areapt to consider a level stretch of ground a morepleasant promenade. VNevertheless, a great manyof our shrewdest investors have been acquiringproperty here, at prices far above present incomereturns, and this can be considered only as a fur-ther circumstance declaring the expectation thatinvestors harbor concerning the future of San Fran-cisco. Evidently their view. is that property socentrally located as this must acquire great valueas thecity grows in extent and population.—SanFraneiteo Newt Letter. > ...-\u25a0« -\u0084

The Flores mine property, which has latelybeen in trouble from an overdose of "bosses*'and "Superintendents," is about being startedup, under the management of Mr. John 11.Campbell, a practical mining engineer. Themill,we learn, willbe under the managementof L.Lasscll, Esq., than whom no more com-petent millman can bo found in the Territory.This time the mine willget a fair show, and we

Eredict a success inevery respect, as there cancno doubt that the mine is all that has been

claimed forit. Messrs. Campbell and Lassellare takingdown the stamps of the Welton mill,at the Park, and will|put them up inconnec-tion withthe Flores machinery, together withthe Frne concentrators, when all will be ham-mering away soon on$20 gold ore.

The Vanderbilt mine is now leased byJamesTwiggs and Mr.Campbell, and we are glad tosay that the ore now being taken from theVanderbilt is the finest lotever yet extractedfrom the mine. Our friends at Prescott havebeen shouting until the !echo has resoundedthroughout the continent at the -richness ofthe Howard mine, etc. Now what would theysay it we tell them that the ore taken out ofthe Vanderbilt willaverage j$150 per ton infree gold, and not by any means a •' pocket 1"We are not yellinglike mad at Sl5O per :toningold. We have lots of mines here that willturn out $100 per ton in gold. The Flores,the Eureka, the Vanderbilt, the Oro Plata andthe Alpine willdo it. We are modest, and canafford tobe. We have the richest, the largestand the most numerous number ofledges (pay-ing ones) of any county in the Territory. Anditisonly a auestion of time when we willturnoutmore gold,lead and silver bullion than allthe counties of the Territory combined. Thisis notan idle boast, but a 6tern fact, and thefigures willshow foritbefore long.

Tne "78 \u25a0' orICingniaumine is situated nearStockton Hilland was formerlyknown as the"63

"mining claim. Formerly itwas one of

the best known mines in the county and afamous ore producer. The ore was ofvery highgrade, ranging from$300 to $1200 per ton,and the freest milling ore in' the District.More than thirty tons of. the ore was workedat'tbe Mineral Park mill that \u25a0 paid over

$4000 per ton, and large quantities of stillricher ore were shipped to San .Francisco forreduction. The mine probably produced over$150,000 between 1572 and 1878. There isno account of the amount taken from themine by lessees since 187S, but itwas un-doubtedly very large. • Last Winter, in No-vember, the property was sold to a SanFrancisco party, who are now exploitingthe mine .in first-class style. A.shaft:hasbeen sunk on the claim below the old workings,which were caved and rendered useless. Mr.T.EafKiris running a drift, which is now inover 60 feet from the main working shaft.The footwall ofthe ledge has been encounteredwithin the week, and as this drift will be over100 feet deeper than any ofthe old shafts, andthe main ore chute is distant only 00 feet fromthe main shaft, ore is expected to be encoun-tered any moment, when a large force of menwill be engaged. There is no doubt but thatthe company ison the eve ofa great strike |inthis mine, which will bring back the livelytimes of

The Keystone mine isnow producing someoftbe richest ore ever lakeu from tbe mine atthe-150 and 200-foot levels. This claim, ifenergetically, worked,' would keep

-the;ten-

stamp mill running constantly on $50 ore.Itis,however, leased, and the lessees are onlyhandling'high-grade ore—slso to $300 ore.'This mine has formerly produced as muchfirst-class ore as any mine in the district,'andwould again if worked as itshould be. For-

•eign corporations, who workonly by fits andstarts, and spend the money that should beused in developing the mines upon favoritesand costly Superintendents, willnever make asuccess in mining. We can count scores offailures which can be traced to the one solecause ofplacing incompetent men incharge ofmining ventures. Eastern corporationsseldom make a success in mining, becausethey have to maintain a cloud' of ignorantofficials, who squander the money intendedfordevelopment. The result, which every oneforesees, is the closing down of the mine anddisruption of the company. We know ofmany mines in this county which would to-daybe good paying properties if placed underhonest and practical management.
