Success In That Calling.

She Thinks Her Sex Is Capable of
Success In That Calling.
From the San francisco Chronicle.
During the last few days Mrs. A. X.
Rikert known as the woman miner Of
Tuolumme, has been visiting friends here
and at Redwood City. For fourteen years
steadily has she been prospecting and de-
veloping different properties, and In that
time she has discovered some of the most
famous mines Of California, from one or
two of which nearly $2,OOO,0Oo has been
taken. Among these mines IL the ricn
Alhambra Of Calico. This was a great
silver mine. but Mrs. Rikert does not mine
for silver alone. Mrs. Rikert has also been
sngularly successful Ia mining for gold.
She was one of the first who went TO the
new Alamo diggings IN Lower California.
where she developed valuable properties.
The woman miner who has had such
a remarkable experience has also discOv-
cred and developed the Pine Blanco gold
nine near the Rawdhide. In TuOlumne
county, which now shows an enormous
ledge Of quartz and from which she con-
hdently believes millions Of dollars will be
taken.

,."AT PINEY RIDGE"

At tho Grand Oper:. House, St Paul
Another new southern play called "At
Piney Ridge" written by David Higgins
will be presented for the first time in
this city Dec. 10. at the Grand. The
play was given it's premier in New York
City last February odd had successful
run Of eight weeks. and received quite
favorable comment from the press Of
that city. the play has boon commend
ed for the simplicity III it's story aud for
the manner Of telling it. The theme,
while not new is presented in such q
natural yet convincing manner AL to rem
der the play one Of unusual interest.
The scenes seek TO show the rudi-
men'ary lie in the Tennessee mountains
the dark background Of story whoee
real action is. carried forward in the
brighter atmosphere Of Southern home
life. tits said TO he fell of human IN
terest, it's men and women are familiar
characters of the South to-day and that
it is remarkable for the number of dis
tinct types introduced, the rugged noun
taineer the artistocratic southern gentle
man. the mountain girl, the dainty cul-
tured daughter Of the valley the ocsoroon
and the blacks meet in strong
dramatic contrast. Briefly the play
tells OF the trials and triumphs Of q
young white man, who when baby
had been stolen and hidden away in the
Tennessee mountains by revengeful
octoroon, who then advanced another to
the rank and wealth which belonged to
the abandoned child. The company
contains the names Of some well known
people including David Higgins: Freder-
.ick Julian, Benz. + Horning. Mrs Loniee
Rial, Sarah Cameron, Van Kinzie,
Olive Davis, Elizabeth Fields and Marie

FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT,
Is What the Water Company
Will Do Until the City
GObbles the Plant.

The water company will fight the reduc-
ton of the water rates, as limited some
time ago. The city will make an effort
airy 1, and then will come the preliminary
skirmish of another legal battle.
Several of the councilmen have insisted
that, the reduction was small, the
company would not resist the ordinance,
but would accept the rates fixed by the
council and would put them into effect
on the first of the new year.
But Jesse Shaw, the local manager, says
that the company will not accede to the
demands of the council without a fight
The firm of Rossington, Smith & Dallas
has been employed to represent the water
company in the new suit. which will be
in the nature of a mandamus to compel
the company to adopt the rates fixed by
the council.
When City Attorney Bird was asked
when the city would take steps to put the
new water rates into effect, he said: I
will do nothing until after January /, for
that is the end of the quarter when the
water company makes its collections for
the first three months in the year have
understood that it was the wish of the
council to have the ordinance enforced at
that time. I have not heard word
from the water company since the ordi-
nance was passed, and 1 have thought
that perhaps the new rates would be ac>
cepted without a fight"
The suit will be brought in the district
court and it will probably be six months
before it is tried.
