The improved demand for manganese, magnesite, magnesia and quicksilver caused by the war has brought about the formation of the Patterson and Western Railroad Company, to give a rail outlet to the big deposits in Stanislaus and Santa Clara counties. H. G.

Ginaca, president of the new road, returned to San Francisco yesterday from Patterson, Stanislaus county, and told of plans JUst set in motion. The Western Magnesite DeveloD- ment Company's deposit around Red Mountain, reputed to be the largest in the world, is 'being called upon to supply the deficiency caused by the cutting off of the Austrian supply, on which the United States has depended to a large extent. Between June SO, 1913, and the corresponding date in. 1914, 143,000 tons were imported from Austria alone. With this supply Interrupted, attention was turned to the home product, and ore has been hauled to the railroad by automobile trucks all summer.

Winter weather, however, will interfere with this movement of ore, and itjs the plan to rush the railroad to completion to meet the situation, The ore is being burned at the mines now, but it is probable that a refining plant will be built at Pat terson when the railroad is finished as fuel oil now has to be hauled into the mines by truck. Patterson Is on pipe lines, which would cheapen the cost of refining. The quicksilver mines belonging to the Hayward estate In the same7 dis trict have Just been reopened, with the prospect of using the new rail road for shipments. The survey for the new road is be ing carried on by C. S.

Compton chief engineer of the Patterson and Western. The road will be standard narrow guage and will be 22 miles long. The officers of the railroad are: H. G. Ginaca, president; W.

T. Jones, vice-president; R. J. Pratt, secretary treasurer. All are San Francisco men.

The capitalization is for $150,000. Copper Coins 500, Years Old Found Also White Metal Platea Marked "Sebastian Cabot, 1496." SULLIVAN October 9. Frank Bennett, a blacksmith, digging at the former site of the Howe brick yard, near here, found a number of copper coins and white metal plates more than BOO years old. They were found five feet under ground, below the old trail used by pioneers be tween Terre Haute and Vincennes. One of the copper coins contains a head with the date 110, and an other contains a raised head wearing a crown dated 1410.

One coin is marked "Six pence Henry VHI." The largest white metal plate is about 2x5 inches, and is inscribed "On this 7th day of February, 1498, of Our Lord, I. all nu land, John Cabot" Another plate reads, "Sebastian Cabot, May 6, 1496. Henry VII." Two Obstinate Men Are Kansas Farmers SMITH CENTER October 9. This county boasts two of the most contrary men in Kansas. Last fall one' man refused to pay the price asked by corn-huskers, and vowed he would let his field rot before he would yield.

To-day the field, containing about 2,000 bushels of grain, still stands sjd la grown up with a dense crop or sunflowers. The other contrary man is a neigh bor of the first. He husked 1,000 bushels of his crop, stayed it In an uncovered crib and said it would remain there till it brought him 76 cents a bushel.

Announcement of the purchase of the old Dingee homestead Is the moet significant sale of residence property recorded In Oakland for a decade. Comprising approximately thirty. eight acres, "Fernwood" for years was one of the show places of Ala meda county.

It passed from the hands of Colonel Jack Hays, famous in the annals of California pioneer history. Into those of William Dingee. TROPICAL GARDEN. Dingee laid out the estate In at tractive tropical gardens, utilizing the natural rock formations, the oaks and the evergreen trees in his decorative effects. He built a mansion for a home.

He filled It with rare collections of art. He set beautiful statuary throughout the gardens and constructed picturesque walks through the grounds. A little more than ten years ago the Dingee home was destroyed by fire. It was never rebuilt. Bui the property has retained much of the glory of Its past In wood and floral beauty.

The purchase price Is not divulged by the Realty Syndicate or the R. N. Burgess Company, the latter acting as agents in the sale of the property. Nor have the purchasers told what the purchase price was. It is safe to ay that it ran up Into many thousands of dollars.

Mrs. Percy, wife of the Chicago aurgeon, made a special trip to Oakland to close the deal. She had been attracted to the picturesque estate a few weeks ago on a short visit to this part of California. "Dr. Percy and I will come out to Oakland again In January, said Mrs.

The purchase of the Dingee place opens up a new territory for large country estates and is significant of the recent activity expressed throughout the Oakland market.

Of this amount 474.203 waa for new con-struction, there being 174 permits issued under this head. ABOUT TRANSACTIONS.

In speaking of the increase in transactions during the last week. George W. Austin says: The surprising uplift the past seven days was more than even the most optimistic could expect. Actually, the demands on my sales force this week were stronger than at any time during the year. The Investment calls ranged from residence lots to the largest apartment houses.

True, there is still more trading than cash sales, but a great deal of out-of-town property is now being traded for Oakland equities with no objection to mortgages on the local property, There is a great deal of money to loan and borrowers are fewer and harder to find. A great many loans are now being paid oft and not renewed. This plentiful supply of money has had a tendency to reduce the number of big bargains that were to be had a couple of months ago. One of the best Indications of the increasing market Is the good demand from home builders for vacant lots. One of the most cheerfully opti mistic statements regarding Conditions in general and the local situation was voiced by W.

J. Laymance In an interview yesterday. Mr. Lay mance said in part: That the fundamental conditions of this country are sound cannot be questioned by anyone; The increased activity is characteristic of the manufacturing and mercantile situation Money is now plentiful in banks, corporations and private Individuals for loaning on real estate and building developments. All commodities show an Improved trend of prices.

High-class securities are going up, week by week. Twenty per cent of the railroads have advanced five points within the past two weeks and are yet 85 to 40 points below the high point of 1906 to 1909. SURPLUS MONEY. These facts are based upon the -report of one of the most expert statistical authorities in the United States on national and international conditions, whose reports are based on statistics gathered from forty or more detailed compilations of facts, from surplus money in banks, railroad earnings and crop situations to labor conditions, and general confidence. This service reports to mo that the general business conditions of the United States have moved from the depression period which began in March, 1913, which area of depression, the country has been gradually overcoming, that within the last ten days general business has moved along tho line into a new area of prosperity for the first time since March, 1913.

This, same organization informs us that increase in new buildings and the higher real estate values now evidenced are another sign ot the times. Throughout the agricultural and business districts In the East and Middle West also shows Improvement. OAKLAND CONDITIONS. Now, as for the Oakland conditions, there is no improvement In the general sections of the United States that cannot but affect the great Pacific coast sec-tion. That Oakland bank clear- lngs and Oakland building permits ere increasing Is evident to ail.

There Is more private money for loaning on real estate than there are applications. There are constantly more Inquiries within, the last thirty days from advertisements than for some time previous and cash sales of medium priced properties are already beginning to be-made. That owners of clear property are much more willing to trade their property clear and assume a mortgage or pay a cash difference is considerably more evi -dent The last ten days has shown an Improvement with us and some satisfactory business has been concluded between buyer and seller, on which titles are now being searched and which we hope to announce during the coming week.
