The New York Herald has a (lengthy and highly entertaining ar ticle on the life and peculiarities of the late Alvinza Hayward, from which the following extracts are taken: Alvinza Hayward belonged to the'T coterie of wealthy Californians who acquired Influence in the early days of the State. He was the friend of Oollis P. Huntington, Senator Flood and CLeland Stanford.

From his small and dingy office in San Francisco he conducted many transactions in forest lands, mining properties and city real estate. It is said that on one transaction in which he gained control of the Savage mine, which was neighbor of the famous Comstock Lode, that he made a profit of six million dollars. The value of the mine, which was unknown to the owners, was learned by surreptitious borings and not from ghostly manifestations, Many people deplored that a man of such business sagacity should be committed to spiritualism. Mr. Hayward made no secret of his belief in the occult, and he often consulted mediums before undertaking some large transaction.

He frequently took occasion to dream over his schemes, and he imagined that persons came to tell him what to buy and when to sell. Either the spirlt3 were 'unusually well informed or they were influenced by the sagacity of Alvinza Hayward through some iprocess of unconscious cerebration. They always gave the right kind of advice, and it seldom deviated from his own ideas on the subject. From those whom he met in his financial dreamland Mr. iHayward also ac- quired a persuasive manner and large vocabulary, for he was able to convince the most skeptioal finan ciers of the value of his property.

It is said that he made only one mistake, and that was the purchase of a mine in Mexico known as Los Mulatos. Daniel Gillette, a mining engineer, had made an examination of samples of ore which he had taken from the property, and reported tha they assayed $220 a ton. The Rothschilds had an option on the mine, and Messrs. Hayward and Gillette went over to London and persuaded the bankers to let go of the property. "We will get them to will us the mine," said Hayward, "and then talk them to -death." Nobody believed the Rothschilds would give up the option, 'but the persuasiveness of t'he Californian won the day.

After the mine wan 'purchased it was discovered either that Gillette had been mistaken or that somebody had "salted" Uie property. Mr. Hayward smiled over the loss and continued to buy mines at the direction 'of the "Indian Princess" and "Little (Bright Although 'the carrying on of investments under the patronage of spooks would have been regarded as strange in the East, the peculiarity of Mr. Hayward in the course of years ceased to excite the wonder of Californians. The story goes that Collis P.

Huntington consulted a ISan Francisco palmist for many years and seldom missed anything by fol lowing the advice. It was commonly reDorted that Mr. and Charles D. Lane acquired riches by acceDtina the counsel of a womaii medium. There were stories a year or so ago of an effort on the part of out siders to get control of Mr.

Hay- ward's property, but these were de nied. YOUNG RULA PITTS HURT. Rula Pitts, the ten-year-old son of R. B. Pitts, of 98 Lincoln sus tained a islight concussion of the brain on Tuesday afternoon through a fall from a bicycle which he was riding on the esplanade.

The boy was unconscious most of the even ing, but Dr. Philbrook, who attended him, expects that with absolute quic and rest be will be all right in a few days. i' i' STORE, SMSKK R. E. Collins, who so successfully conducted the Mystic Midgets performance in this city recently, has located in Watsonville, where he will conduct dancing classes during the summer.

'Frank was arrested by Cfficer DouSherty on Tuesday for vagrancy 'and given a "floater" by Judge Craghill, in other words, one hour to shake the dust of Santa Cruz from his feet. The fiuishing touches to tho base of the road up Beach Hill are being Siven. There are two rocks Gn the south side the road, half wa? UP the that should be re- moved, named away or exploded. There is considerable reckless driving on Pacific in the business portion, that should be checked iby the police. ISome drivers of delivery wagons dash across the cross- ings and around corners regardless of pedestrians.

The Presbyterian Church is to hold a social on Friday evening of this week in the church parlors, in commemoration of the lifting of the debt. The mortgage which has been paid off will be burnt with due solemnity on that occasion.

From Soquel Av. will be soon up Front giving the company two separate lines from Soquel Av. to the Lower Plaza, and three lines from Lincoln St. to the beach. Passengers will be handled this year as never before.

Now that a 12jfoot sidewalk has been laid along the west side of Pacific opposite Beach Hill, the people are waiting impatiently for the steam railroad company to continue said walk to their passenger depot. It is the least they can be expected to do, and they should do it quickly, that our city may foe In good condition by July 1st next. MUST HAVE ESCAPED. In looking; over some old account books recently G. W.

Sill, one time secretary of the Santa Cruz County I World's Fair Association, found that the association has a credit balance of $1.80 at the Santa Cruz City Bank. Now what is to be done with all that money? We suggest that it be turned in to the postage stamp account of t.he county's expenses at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Honestly, though, we believe George himself Is entitled to the money, but we dare not suggest that he keep it. for fear of arousing the indignation of the Santa Cruz newspapers. Pa-jaronian.

Alfred McCless, a wellrknown resident of Berryessa, about 60 years of age, was instantly killed on Monday morning at the Santa Clara county gravel pit, near Alum Rock Power house, about two miles from Alum Rock. The body was discovered an hour afterwards by Arthur Ogan, the road masier.

MoCle i had been working for the county for a number of years and had resided at On Monday morning as usual he went out to the gravel pit to load up his wagon with gravel, to be laid at -Berryessa. There were no eye witnesses to the accident, but It is supposed that as he was digging out the gravel It suddenly gave way above him and pinned him against the wheel of the wagon. Before the old man could utter a sound he was crushed to death, and he was lying with his chest against the wagon wheel and the dirt and gravel against his back when found by Ogan. Death must have been instantaneous. A c.
