    • W.C. Ralston, William Sharon and family, and Stephen Franklin (Secretary of the Bank of California escorted Michael Reese, Mr. Gensi (special agent of the Rothschilds), Mr. Newlands, Daniel C. Gilman (President of the University of California), ex-Mayor Thomas H. Selby, Mr. Seward (U.S. Consul at China). The party visited the Crown Point and Belcher mines and departed for Lake Tahoe.

    • William C. Ralston, Cashier, Manager, President, The Bank of California [1864-1875], 1943, 1875, 1864
    • "It has been estimated that the Comstock profits of Ralston, Sharon and Mills amounted in all to about $20,000,000, although [p. 131] Ralston's speculations and widespread business enterprises broke him at the very summit of success, 1943, 1875, 1874
    • [While the Comstock] knew Sharon and hated him for his ruthless methods and dictatorial manner; yet he was cock-of-the-walk only on the Comstock. During all of the early years he was subordinate to Ralston and never made an important move without consulting him. After the Crown Point-Belcher bonanza had made them all rich beyond their dreams, Sharon became more independent and, when the Bank of California suspended on August 26, 1875, followed immediately by Ralston's tragic death, he took the lead, and, with the aid of sixty-three loyal citizens, restored the Bank's capital and reopened its doors within six weeks, 1943, 1875
    • In 1876 three groups controlled the Comstock, The Bank Group, The Bonanza Group and J.P. Jones, 1943, 1876
    • The Jones Interests and the Sharon Interests mined and milled low-grade ore from 1882 until 1890, 1943

    • from Wilmington, Delaware, was the father of the [San Pedro] harbor. He started the first stage-line to the pueblo; took a long chance and towed the first schooner into the inner harbor; promoted the first railroad between Los Angeles and the bay.
    • "In his day, it was the only connection between the pueblo and San Francisco . . . then the big city of the coast. Los Angeles was a contemptible, one-horse, sleepy adobe town so inconsequential that the first railroad had to be coaxed hard to build the rails into Los Angeles instead of driving straight down to San Bernardino.
    • "There was a weekly mail steamer which anchored off shore and took on passengers from the pueblo by lighter."

    • (See the Belcher-Crown Point; the Crown Point-Belcher;)
    • Sharon and his associates, including Hayward, had been in control of both Crown Point and Belcher for years, although without holding a majority of the stock of either mine after assessments began to be levied, 1943, 1872, 1871
    • Crown Point stock rose quietly from $3 a share on November 19 to $16 on December 10. The market price of Belcher, meantimes, had increased to $7.50 a share. Development work proceeded slowly for a time and the reports were not very encouraging, due no doubt to the plans of Hayward and Jones who were aiming to secure control of the Crown Point, 1943, 1871, 1870s, 1920-1850
    • [p.129] "The[ Crown Point] ore had been found only 200 feet north of the Belcher line, and, as it lay on the footwall of the Lode, there was every probability that it would extend into the Belcher. That stock also began to rise, 1943, 1871, 1870s, 1920-1850
    • The Crown Point-Belcher bonanza was an ideal ore body, 1943, 1870s
    • The ore body of the Crown Point Mine became the Belcher Bonanza, 1980, 1870s, 1966, 1943, 1920-1850
    • "Meanwhile Sharon had been manipulating Belcher and gathering in all available stock at comparatively small prices. His biography states that he and Ralston secured almost all of the stock in the Belcher at $1 a share. They must have bought it from the treasury, to which it had returned for nonpayment of assessments, a favorite trick of those in control when a boom started. 1943, 1872, 1871
    • The Belcher was controlled by Sharon, Mills and Ralston, 1943, 1870s
    • "Sharon was bitter when he learned that Jones and Hayward had the control of the Crown Point, but made the best of the situation: "He proposed to sell to Hayward and his friends all the shares of himself and friends in the Crown Point mine, at the market price, on condition that Hayward and his friends would sell to them all of their interests in the Belcher." The offer was accepted and the transaction closed. Lord states on the authority of Sharon that Sharon sold his 4,100 shares of Crown Point to Hayward on June 7, 1871, for $1,400,000, which would be at the rate of $341 a share. This was by far the largest single transaction in Comstock stocks up to that time, 1943, 1871
    • W.H. "Hank" Smith, 1943, 1871
      • Became superintendent of the Belcher and other Gold Hill mines, 1943, 1871
    • Made private milling profits running into the millions, 1943, 1870s
    • "Both companies [Crown Point and Belcher] are digging pell-mell to see which can produce the most in the shortest time. Belcher now produces nearly 500 tons of ore daily, and is making preparations to produce between 500 and 600 tons. Furthermore, workings of this style on the Comstock have taught us what result to expect." (U.S. Mines and Mining for 1872, p. 118). Raymond was critical of the Comstock practice of "gutting the mines."], 1943, 1871
    • "The stocks of the Crown Point and the Belcher had hung around $300 a share during the latter half of 1871, and were worth it. All of the others on the exchange had advanced with them, but there was no boom until after the first of January 1872. the developments in Crown Point and Belcher by that time were so favorable that all of the other stocks began to increase rapidly in price, 1943, 1872
    •  "One of Lord's best stories is spoiled by a little fact. He says that because of Sharon's charge against Jones [in the campaign for 1872 U.S. Senate . . . hurried on a general fall in mining stocks. He overlook [ed] the fact that on . . . Belcher was increased from 10,400 to 104,000 on August 1, 1872, and fell to $108 a share, which led innocent writers to comment on the extraordinary decline in prices, 1943, 1872
    • Its greatest year was in 1873, when 154,664 tons yielded $10,525,000, or $69 a ton. The dividends that year totaled $6,760,000.
    • [p. 130] "The boundary line between the two mines [the Crown Point and the Belcher] passed downward through the middle of the bonanza, dividing it into two nearly equal parts. The Belcher's portion proved richer and more productive so that the trade eventually favored Sharon and his associates, Ralston and Mills [over Hayward and Jones.] In addition to the lion's share of the dividends, each group made private milling profits running into the millions, 1943, 1870s
    • Visitors to the Belcher Mine in 1873 who came to assess its potential value, 1943, 1943
      • "A special train from California arrived at Gold Hill on July 4, 1873, bearing W.C. Ralston, William Sharon and family, Michael Reese, Mr. Gensi (special agent of the Rothschilds), Mr. Newlands, Daniel C. Gilman (President of the University of California), Stephen Franklin (Secretary of the Bank of California), ex-Mayor Thomas H. Selby, Mr. Seward (U.S. Consul at China). The party visited the Crown Point and Belcher mines and departed for Lake Tahoe. (Gold Hill News, July 5, 1873.)] A party of French capitalists arrived on July 7, 1873, visiting the Belcher Mine, 1943, 1873
    • [p. 175] "[Footnote: King's History of San Francisco Stock Exchange, p. 153 (1910): The only stocks that had not materially advanced in price [during the 1874-1875 boom] were the Crown Point and the Belcher, and they were the only mines on the Lode that were paying dividends with the exception of the Con. Virginia. Evidently they had not been manipulated.], 1943, 1910, 1875, 1874
    • [p. 137] "From 1870 to 1878, when production practically ceased, the Belcher produced 684,000 tons, yielding $32,118,000, or $47 a ton, and paid $14,876,000 in dividends. Its greatest year was in 1873, when 154,664 tons yielded $10,525,000, or $69 a ton. The dividends that year totaled $6,760,000, 1943

    • "[Footnote: Comstock mines during the past three years have been steadily increasing the yield from low-grade ores extracted from old workings in the upper levels; no dividends being paid, but nearly all steadily levying assessment. Of course there is no profit in the business on that basis," says the Mining and Scientific Press of December 27, 1884, "and yet most of those interested in the operations of these mines manage to get a profit out of them by ownership of the mills that crush the ore. "], 1943
    • A few assessments were levied when the mill returns failed to pay the expense of mining and milling,1943, 1890-1882
    • [p. 285] "The Belcher and the Crown Point, controlled by the Jones interests, and the Yellow Jacket, by the Sharon interests, reduced 750,000 tons of ore averaging $12 a ton, mill returns, during the eight years following 1882, but only to the advantage of their mills, 1943, 1890, 1882, 1920-1850
    • No dividends were paid, but on the contrary a few assessments were levied when the mill returns failed to pay the expense of mining and milling. Such of the other mines as could find a little ore were producing on the same basis, 1943, 1890, 1882, 1920-1850

    • Life was never monotonous during the period of her visits.
    • The first time [1906] she went to live in a hotel at Venice by the sea and insisted that she should catch the fish for her own dinner every night.
    • The press agent of the Orpheum had to hire old sea-dogs to catch fish; put them in a tub under the wharf and see that Madam's fish-hook arrived in the tub.
    • On her last visit they hired a floor of a Hollywoood hotel for her; but she was adamant; she would go back to Venice-by that time a wreck of the gay resort she had visited.
    • Coming back to the theater for an evening performance, her car bumped into a truck loaded with iron pipe.
    • She catapulted into the front seat of her car and hurt her knee. She finished the evening journey riding on the lap of the truck-driver . . .
    • Madame Bernhardt never recovered from the injury to her knee.
    • When she got to Paris, her leg was amputated-and this was the beginning of the end.
    • She made one more visit, being carried onto the stage in a wheeled chair and supporting herself by a table as she went through the motions of acting. Her greatest rival, Duse, also made one of the last appearances of her life in Los Angeles. In those days my newspaper work was concerned largely with the world of sports as well as the theater.
