Out on a shopping ex petition?
 So is everybody just now, and fetching up right here.
 Anything going on?
 One would think so. The store has been turned into a magazine of gifts for Christ mas-books dolls, toys, lamps clocks, bric-a-brac and fancy goods of every description.
 We have twenty people selling nothing but books you can guess something ftom that.
 Handkerchiefs, gloves, neck wear, umbrellas, leather goods, toilet articles &c., are crowded with salespeople, yet buyers waiting to be served crowd the counters all day.
 There is nowhere in Bridge port so large a collection of articles for the observance of Christmas giving as we are showing.

 r. H. Skidmore is authority for the in- formation that it has been agreed be- tween himself and William II.

We did not learn what use the grounds were to be put to, but perhaps the ex- first seleCtn1an has more leisure time and intends to do a little farming, or a more likely suppositiOn might be that because he failed in his attempt on Tuesday to block the stockholders meeting at the Town hall, he is going to get revenge in a rival show on his own leased ground.

MAY MEAN A BIC MINING DEAL.
Two Prominent English Engineers
en- Route to San Francisco.

San Francisco, Oct. 27-Two promi-
nent mining engineers from London are
now on their way to this city. One of
them is Louis Janin, jr., son of Louis
Janin, of this city, and formerly an
editor of the Mining and Engineering
Journal of New York. Mr.. Janin was
at one time a mining engineer here. He
is now In the employ Of a London syn
dicate. His stay here will be short, as
he is going to Australia to examine
some properties that the London syn
dicate is thinking of purchasing.
Hamilton Smith, Of the London Ex-
ploration company, the largest mining
syndicate in the world, is the other
mining expert coming here. 1t was on
Mr.. Smiths report that the company in
question recently bought the famous
Ananconda mine in Montana.
1t is believed Mr. Smiths present trip
to California has something to do with
the rumors that his company Is think
ing Of purchasing the famous Mariposa
grant in Mariposa county, Cal, con-
sisting of $4,000 acres in the heart of the
Mother lode country. The property is
owned by John w. Mackay, Senator
John =. Jones, of Nevada, Alviza Hay
ward and the Hobart estate.
If the proposed deal goes through 1t
will be the biggest mining deal ever
consummated in the world. 1t is also
stated that Mr.. Smith may arrange for
the purchase by his company of the
Homestake mine in South Dakota.
