  	The 1860 census shows he lived next door to his partner, Samuel Wilson.  Sam, was described as:  "the conservative San Francisco lawyer.  Counselor to banks and railroads, self-made and immensely rich, a bar association founder and Director of Hastings College of the Law ... dryly correct, tenancious, and thorough, he could exhaust the most ardent reformer." Samuel Wilson died at his desk after a full day's work in 1892.

  	he acquired a half interest in the Mexican or Spanish claim on the Comstock Lode
  	"A Mexican, Gabriel Maldonado, was part owner of the Mexican Mine, located near Virginia City, from 1860 to 1861.  His numerous business transactions during those two years were duly recorded in the Carson County records.  On February 20, 1860, Gabriel Maldonado, with Joseph P. Hoge, took out a mining mortgage on half a mining claim in Virginia City known as the Mexican or Spanish Claim on the Comstock Lode.  A month later, on March 24, 1860, two hundred feet in the Morrison and Meredith claims on Cedar Hill in the Virginia District were transferred from Gaven D. Hall, Robert McCall, and Frank F. Dana to Maldonado.  On April 23 a deed of trust was passed from Gabriel Maldonado to Joseph Hoge for one-half interest of the Spanish or Mexican claim on the Comstock Lode. The Mexican Mine, along with the Ophir and the Gould and Curry Mines, turned out to be one of the largest and richest of the Comstock Lode's major mines.  Maldonado used Mexican miners and developed a system for extracting ore that was more effective than techniques being used by other miners.

  Political	4 Jul 1872	San Francisco, San Francisco, California   [12, 13]
  	first President of the San Francisco Bar Association
  	Social interests were a primary concern of the San Francisco Bar Association (SFBA).  Invited by a circular letter proposing such an organization, the founding members held their first meeting on April 27 1872.  By July, the SFBA counted ninety-three members and had the entire floor available for use.  The second floor was divided into five large contiguous saloons, the central one sporting two billiard tables.  Liquor and cold lunch were continuously available, and a hot lunch was served between noon and two.  With all these trappings of an exclusive men's club, the SFBA opened its clubhouse doors on July 4, 1872. The founders of the SFBA were the elite of the city's attorneys.  Joseph P. Hoge was its president and Hall McAllister and S. M. Wilson, its vice-president.  Hoge was an Illinois attorney who moved with his law partner, Samuel M. Wilson, to California in 1853.  Hoge had been a two-term congressman from Illinois and a candidate for the Senate.  He and  Wilson established law office in the Montgomery block of San Francisco, the center of the city's legal community, and maintained those offices for thirty-four years.  Hoge was an early entrant to the California bar and a survivor.

  	was founding chariman of the board of directors of Hasting College of the Law
  	HIs parter Samuel Wilson was also a director, as well as Hall McCallister.  J. P. Hoge is named as lead defendent in Clara Foltz's lawsuit. The same legislature that had set 100 days for constitution-making had also established a new department of the University: Hastings College of the Law. It was to be, in the words of its founder: "a temple of the law, which shall extend its arms and draw within its portals all who shall be worthy to worship at its shrine." But scarcely had the law college opened before two white women and a Chinese man were rejected on grounds of sex and race. ... in the body of the interview she explained why, when she had already been admitted to practice and had paying clients in San Jose, she had taken her older children, left her baby with her mother and moved her offices to San Francisco.  This was because law involves "the interests and welfare of other people"; she thought "no one should practice without an ample knowledge of its principles"-- which her three years at Howe's Academy in Iowa had not afforded. Nor had she been able to drink deeply of legal principles while lecturing for money, lobbying her bill through the legislature, and attending to her children (not to mention her failing marriage, which she covered with the phrase "I have had troubles of which I do not like to speak."). Thus, with Mrs. Gordon, she had registered at Hastings when the school opened for its second term on Tuesday, January 6 (also the 101st day of the Constitutional Convention). The women had attended lectures on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday; then, on January 11, Foltz had received a "Dear Madam" letter: The Board of Directors had "resolved not to admit women to the law school." This was the only formal explanation the women would ever receive for their exclusion. Less formally, Judge Hastings revealed his view that their presence, particularly their rustling skirts, would distract the other scholars, who apparently were already irritated by their attendance. Once, said Foltz, "all the students drew up around the entrance and stared us so out of countenance that we retreated." ...On Monday, February 24, the two unequal sides met in a crowded courtroom. After several hours of argument, Judge Morrison took the case under advisement without announcing a decision date. For the first time, Hastings' counsel stated their theory that the Board of Directors had total discretionary authority over the law school. They went on, however, to justify the exclusion of women on the ground that they were not capable and qualified to be lawyers

  Political	1878-1879  [1, 12, 13, 18]
  	president of the Second California Consitutional Convention
  	After thirty years of statehood, Californians decided that it would make more sense to author a new constitution than to continue to make changes to the 1849 Constitution.  A strong effort by the Workingmen's Party led to a Convention being called in 1878-79.  The Conventions was held in the Assembly Chambers at the new State Capitol in Sacramento (the building was then just ten years old). A number of new laws were created, including several restricting the rights of Asians and establishing English as the only official state language.  The 1879 Constitution is still in effect today. Hoge was elected by one vote. After the Workingmen failed to garner enough votes for their candidate, Henry Larkin, they threw their votes to W.J. Tinnen, a Non-Partisan, but not the corporation candidate: That was Hoge and he won 74- 73. C. SWISHER, supra note 8, at 37. ...On Saturday, February 15, the papers reported the one-week continuance of Clara Foltz's case against Hastings. There was a lull in the Convention as well with a quiet Saturday devoted to municipal organization. But Monday brought a marked mood swing, perhaps occasioned because President Hoge, a stern parliamentarian, was away for the day. The scene, said one delegate later, was like school when the "master was absent . . . and the pupils proceeded in singing songs, throwing books and turning hand springs over the benches . . . ." The business before the Convention was the aptly named article on Miscellaneous Subjects, reported from the only committee that had a Workingmen majority. Herrington, from Santa Clara, set the tone by objecting on health grounds to Sacramento as the capital and calling the city "a boneyard . . . a place of interment for the distinguished brains of the State." This was the first section of the proposed Article. The rest of the eighteen sections ranged from enacting a mechanic's lien statute into organic law to setting the fiscal year's start at July 1. There was a lot of action and not much serious oratory as each clause was amended, eliminated or accepted, and so on to the next. A Workingman from El Dorado objected that the section stripping suffrage from any person who engaged in a duel cast "a stain" upon "the leading man of this Convention, . . . the ablest man upon this floor, the most independent, free from any rings, or cliques, or restraint." The remark confirms David Terry's standing with the Workingmen, but as Ayers pointed out, this section was not aimed at Terry, but was simply carried over from the 1849 Constitution. In an atmosphere that at times combined hilarity and hysteria, the day wore on through consideration of seventeen sections with some unpredictably rousing opposition and others gliding by. Late in the afternoon, section 18 was reached. Intended to prevent Chinese from acquiring property, its poor drafting made it virtually incomprehensible. In a dazzling double play by the women's two floor managers, Ayers moved to strike the clause and Ringgold stepped in to "offer a new section": No person shall, on account of sex, be disqualified to enter upon and pursue any lawful business, avocation, or profession. The new section passed without comment.

  	page 8, column 4: OBITUARY Judge J. P. Hoge Hon. Joseph Pendleton Hoge, late Judge of Department 4 of the Superior Court of the city and county of San Francisco, expired at noon yesterday, at his residence, 1323 Geary street, in this city, after a somewhat protracted illness. The death of Judge Hoge adds another to the list of distinguished lawyers garnered for the tomb during the past week -- Hoffman, Blaney, French and Hoge.  With a singular and painful discrimination has the sickle of the dread harvester been put into the legal profession and called from it some of its most brilliant members.  For several months before his condition became particularly alarming, Judge Hoge had at intervals premonitions that his career was drawing to a close, but it wwas not until about two weeks ago that his symptoms assumed a very pronounced character and warned the attending physicians that their skill in compbating disease would in his case be unavailing.  He had been a man of remarkable vatality and exuberance of spirits, which made him as conspicuous in social relations as his well stored mind and his eminent legal attainments made him distinguished in his profession.  During the last two weeks of his illness his food refused to assimilate, and under the natural infirmity of the advanced age of four score years he gradually sank, but apparently with but little pain, until the end came -- so peacefully, that it was as if he had only fallen into a slumber.  He was conscious and recognized those who attended at his bedside almost until the last moment. Judge Hoge was born in the State of Ohio in the year 181.  After completing a collegiate course at Jefferson College, Pennsylvnia, he returned to his native state, where he studied law and was admitted to practice.  At the age of 30 years he removed with his parents to Illinois, and soon became a prominent member of the Galena bar.  Iin 1843 he was elected by the Democratic party to represent his district in the Twenty-eight Congress, and was re-elected to the Twenty-ninth.  During his Congressional career, covering the period from 1843 to 1847, he ws associated with statesmen whose names now belong to the political history of our country, among them john Quincy Adams, John P. Hale, Stephen A. Douglas, hannibal Hamlin and Andrew Johnson.  The United States Senate was then still in the full blaze of its intellectual grandeur.  Hoge was an ardent advocate of the claim of the United States for the parallel 54° 40' as our northern boundary line in the dispute with Great Britain about what was known as the "Oregon Boundary Question."  After the close of his service in Congress he resumed the practice of law in partnership with Samuel M. Wilson, in Galena.  He married a sister of his partner, Mr. Wilson, and in 1853 both members of the firm came to California and continued their business connection as a law firm in San Francisco, where they speedily rose to prominence.  In 1878 Judge HOge was President of the Constitutional Convention and was afterward a member of the Board of Freeholders selected to frame a new charter for the city.  he was also a member of the first Board of Directors of the Hastings Law College.  he was elected Judge of the Superior Court in November, 1888, entering upon his judicial duties in Department 4 january 1, 1889.  This incumbency he held until his death.  At the bar and on the bench Judge Hoge stood in the foremost rank.  Among those who enjoyed his intimate friendship and acquaintance he was regarded with apeculiar affection, and he good-naturedly accepted from them the appellation of "Uncle Joe".  His opinions as a jurist were held in high esteem and before he went on the bench his advice was frequently sought by his brother lawyer in solving intricate questions. Judge Hoge leaves a widow and several children, one of whom, Clarence J. Hoge, at present holds the position of Court Commissioner.

  	Page 4, Columns 2-3: The death of Judge Joseph P. Hoge of San Francisco, takes away one of the most distinguished lawyers which California, always opulent in eminent men of the legal profession, has numbered among her citizens.  Judge Hoge removed to San Francisco from Galena, illinois, in 1853, and has ever since been a resident of that city.  His eminent ability singled him out very early in his career for political honors, and he served two terms in congress from Illinois before he removed to this state.  He has always been high in the councils of his party in this state, but has steadily refused to enter official life.  He has presided over a great number of Democratic state conventions and was the model of a presiding officer.  In 1878 when the convention was elected to revise the state constitution, the delegates with great unanimity centered upon Judge Hoge as the best fitted member of the body to preside over its deliberations.  he was elected, and during a stormy session that lasted 157 days, and which contained elements of wide and positive antagonisms, he presided over the convention with a firmness, a dignity and a wealth of parliamentary knowledge that awed the turbulent and delighted the lovers of fair discussion.  Judge Hoge retired from a lucrative practice several years ago; but he soon became weary of inactivity, and consented to take a seat on the superior bench, which place he held at the time of his death.  The judge had reached his eightieth year when he died, and was the contemporary and personal friend of the great men of the country over a generation ago.  Abraham Lincoln, Stephen A. Douglas, General Grant, Senators Webster, Clay, Benton, Calhoun,a nd all the leading men of half a century ago when Judge Hoge was in congress were well known to the deceased, and many of them his personal friends.  But few men are gifted with such rare intellectual powers as Judge Hoge possessed, and he had stored his mind not only with the entire range of the technical knowledg eof his profession, but it was a well-filled magazine of all the best loiterature of ancient and modern times.  he was a most delightful companion, and one of the most brilliant conversationists of his time.  The fire and buoyancy of youth remained with him to the end, sot hat it had become a saying among his friends that age sat upon him like sunbeams dancing on the brow of night.

Barnes and family are living next door. Their son William S. Barnes married Colonel Hoge's granddaughter Delphine Delmas. The first Palace Hotel was opened in October of 1875, and was the project of William C. Ralston, a brilliant San Francisco banker and financier who had died nearly two months earlier That Palace Hotel was designed by architect John P. Gaynor, and was purportedly the largest, costliest, and most luxurious hotel in the world. It cost an outrageous $5 million to complete, and featured 755 rooms on seven floors, each room being 20-feet square, with 15-feet high ceilings. There were 45 public and utility rooms, and 7000 windows in the majestic hotel that was hailed as the "Grande Dame of the West." Guests entered the hotel through a graveled carriage entrance (the site of which is the lobby and the Garden Court of the present hotel), and balconied galleries extended from the marble pavement of the Grand Central Court to the lofty roof made of opaque glass. Ralston spared no expense in building and furnishing the Palace Hotel. Fifteen marble companies supplied 804 fireplace mantels, 900 washbasins, and 40,000 square feet of flooring. Rare woods were much in evidence. Ralston constructed a brick factory in Oakland and purchased an oak forest in the Sierra Nevada Mountains to provide materials for the construction of the hotel. It was intended to be the height of luxury and to contain the newest technologies. It had five hydraulic elevators (reputedly the first in the West), electric call buttons in each room, plumbing and private toilets, shared baths every two rooms, closets, telegraph for staff on each floor, a pneumatic tube system throughout the hotel, air-conditioning in each room, and fireplaces and bay windows in each room. In addition, the Palace Hotel had an elaborate and state-of-the-art defense against earthquakes and fire, including a cistern and four artisan wells in the sub-basement, a 630,000 gallon reservoir under the Grand Court, and seven roof tanks holding 130,000 gallons of water. None of this was enough to save the hotel in 1906, when the earthquake of April 18 and the subsequent three days of fire destroyed a substantial part of San Francisco. The fire was kept at bay by hotel employees, but when the water ran out, the fire began its destruction. For whatever reason, it was decided to tear down the hotel and construct a new one. It took 18 months to tear down the thick brick walls, resulting in 15,000 wagonloads of debris that had to be carted away.

• Notes

  footnote 105 from Clara Shortridge Foltz:  Constitution Maker Joseph Hoge was a Democrat, elected as a Non-Partisan. Sixty-five years old at the time of the Convention, he was an accomplished parliamentarian and earned the respect of most of the men at the Convention--as the tribute to him, and gift of 100 great books bound in leather on the last day, shows. See DEBATES, supra note 10, at 1525. Ayers remembered him as "springy and elastic, . . . at home with the exuberance of the younger members [,] . . . [without] superior in parliamentary knowledge [and] . . . thought by some to be 'czarish,' and disposed to crush . . . those who had the temerity to question his rulings." J. AYERS, supra note 1, at 308. Hoge had immigrated from Illinois where he had twice served in Congress, and where he and Wilson had been partners. O. SHUCK, supra note 36, at 565-66. He was also the first President of the San Francisco Bar and a founding Director of Hastings College of the Law. T. BARNES, supra note 32, at 44-45. Barnes writes that though active at the Convention, both Hoge and Wilson were "intimately and continuously involved in Hastings' direction during its first academic year." Id. at 46. In the same passage that she proclaimed David Terry the "gallant knight of the Convention," Clara Foltz said of Hoge: "He was opposed to women in public life, opposed to women in any place except possibly in their homes-- just as though every woman had a home then any more than she has now!" Struggles, supra note 4, Mar. 1917. Hoge was elected by one vote. After the Workingmen failed to garner enough votes for their candidate, Henry Larkin, they threw their votes to W.J. Tinnen, a Non-Partisan, but not the corporation candidate: That was Hoge and he won 74- 73. C. SWISHER, supra note 8, at 37. (Research):The 15 Aug 1891 obituary in The Morning Call states he is survived by a widow, among them Clarence J. Hoge who was Court Commissioner at the time. This is repeated in the Los Angeles Herald obituary of 17 Aug 1891. The Morning Call goes on to state that he moved with his parents to Galena, Illinois at the age of 30 and that he was born in 1811.  Who's Who and the National Register of Historic Places state he was living in Galena in 1936. On 2 Sep 1891 the Morning Call reports that Charles Joseph Hoge, son of Judge Hoge, applied for letters of administration on the estate, the Judge leaving no will.  The heirs are listed as Charles Joseph, Blanche, and Octavia Hoge, Mrs. Pauline Delmar (sic), Mrs. Fannie Tyler, and Mrs. Belle Hillman (sic).  No widow is listed as heir.
