STOCKTON PLANS
FOR A SHELTER
Aspires to Be the EntrepOt
of a Neighboring Min
ing Section.
Hopes Based on the Construction
of the Sierra Pac fc
Railroad
Cheap Goa to Be Laid at That City's
Door With the Next
Ten Days.

Stockton is am mbirious to have a smelter,
and that am mbition is backed by such
energy and enterprise that it is likely to
be fulfilled within the next year.
P. A. Buell. of P. A. Buell. & Co. of
Stockton, vice. president of the Sierra Pa
cific Railroad Company, was in the City
Yesterday, and in speaking of tnis pro-
iected railroad discoursed dentally of
the great benefits that would accrue to
Stockton from its operation. The road is
TO have its tidewater terminus at Stock
ton. as it is to be extended forty-hve
miles from that city into the mining
region to the northeast. Survey work is
now in progress, actual construction work
is expected to begin in about sixty days.
and the road, according to the opinion OF
Mr.. Buell., Will be ready Tor operation in
about a year. 1t will be OF standard
gauge.
Ii will be principally used to carry sup
plies of all kinds into this heretofore lit
tie developed section, and will bring ores
and building material, such as granite
and limestone, into Stockton.
The ore product of the region consists
largely of what are known as rebelllouS
ores. These, owing to the difficulty and
expense of Transporting them TO smell
| ter, are at present treated with chlorides
to extract the metal, process that is con-
siderably more Expensive than that of
smelling.
With the Sierra Pacific Railroad in op.
Grafton convenient and cheap transporta-
ton will be available to Stockton. The
region referred to is rich in these rebel
lious ores and it is the purpose of promi-
nent and wealthy Stocktonlans to erect a
smelter to handle the ores. By this
stroke of enterprise it is expected not
only to control all the trade of the mining
section that will thus be given an outlet
into Stockton, but the anticipation is that
mining will be greatly stimulated by the
facilities which the Stockton people are
now planning 10 provide.
Work on the Corral Hollow Railroad
and coal mines has now progressed to
such an extent that coal from those mines
will be laid down in quantity in Stockton
within ten days. This will provide cheap
fuel for the smelter and also for other
manufacturing interests, existing and con-
tenn plated, in the metropolis OF the San
Joaquin, which already ranks as the Sec
ond manufacturing city in California.

OABLE-OARs COLLIDE.

A Serious Accident arrowly Averted
at su:tar and Polk Streets.
A Sutter-street cabie-car going east coll
lided with another car on Polk street
shortly before o'clock last night and
caused the greatest excitement among the
passengers on both cars.
The Poik-street car was going north and
the gripman when he reached the Cross
ing went ahead. Thinking that the Suffer-
street car would stop. The latter, how
ever, came straight on and struck the
dummy OF the Poik-street car with such
force as to derai it. The shock threw
several OF the passengers on each car from
their seats, but fortunately no one was in
jured as lar as could he learned.
1t was lucky that the rain kept away
passengers from sitting on the dummy of
the Poik-street car otherwise some lives
might have been placed in jeopardy.
The traffic was DELAYED for a bout twenty
minutes till the Polk-Street car was put
back on the rails. A lirge crowd quickly
gathered as the report spread that several
peop !e had been seriously injured.

Santa Clara Overwhelms st. Mary's,
Forty-Six to Four,

Santa Clara Overwhelms ST. Mary's,
Forty-Six to Four.
For the first time in their history old
Santa Clara College and st. Mary's Col
lege have met on gridiron field to contest
practically for the Catholic intercollegiate
championship of the Pacific Coast. The
match was played Yesterday in a driving
rain and on muddy, Shiny field at Gen.
trail Park. and Santa Clara College, with
the first foot ball team it has ever sent out,
won handily by the overwhelming score of
46 TOD.
The play of the representatives of the
pioneer college was OF high order and
was surprising to the confident ST. Mary s
collegians and to the wildly enthusiastic
partisans of both elevens because of the
fact that the wearers of the red and white
from down the bay had been looked upon
only as possible dark horses against the
more experienced Oakland collegians.
Their showing was to be compared with
the unexpected result OF the first great
interuniversity match when Stanford
defeated California.
In team work and in exec ptionally we'll
executed interference Santa Clara College
pletely outclassed the St. Mary's
team, which was fairly outplayed every
where.
With the exception of one touchdown,
scored early in the game on chance In
stantlv seized for long run, st. Mary's
College never at any time menaced Santa
Clara's goal.
Santa Clara gained repeatedly on bucks
between Butler and Taylor and round
Brignole, ST. Mary's other tackle. She
had no more cause to use end runs than
did Stanford on Thanksgiving, as the OPP
posing line could not withstand the ma
chine-like rapid punges of Briue, Conlan
and King. Bride distinguished himself
by kicking seven out of eight goals with q
soggy ball.
1t should be said, however, in justice to
st. Mary's team, that it played a plucky
game all the time in the face of certain
defeat and against heavier and a better
trained lot of men. st. Mary's College
captain after the game said tuat he Is not
in the least disheartened, but that his
men are Diet rmined 10 see their college
put forth an eleven next year that shall
follow in tae footsteps of the st. Mary's
College baseball players, who have always
been the victors over Santa Clara.
In the sheltered grand stand seats sat
the brass bands of both colleges and
poured out volumes of furious melody in
their efforts to outpiay each other.
Just how the game went and who did
the playing may be seen by consulting
the accompanying accurate chart of the
play.
Following are the summaries of the

The undefeated Y. M. G. A. lightweight
team OF this City, that claims the coast
championship OF all elevens averaging less
than LAO pounds to the man, sustained its
reputation again yesterday afternoon
when it played a tie game with the Cogs-
well College team at the Sixteenth and
Folsom street grounds. The lightweight
eleven kept the ball we'll in the college
mems territory during the second half
and when the final whistle blew they had
1t within yards OF Cogswell's goal line.
The features OF the game were a 4O-yaid d
run by Quarterback Lamont of Cogswell
scoring a touchdown; the several long
runs of Right End Specht OF the Y. M. G.
A.; the general playing OF Right End G..
Thompson of Cogswell, particularly when
he alone twice prevented Specht from
scoring touchdown; and the tackling OF
