MINES AND MINERS

1t is estimeated that the total expense
incurred for gathering and arranging an
exhibit for the Omaha fair, such as would
in some measure do Justice to the great
mineral resources Of Southern California,
need not exceed $500, for, as has already
been stated in this paper. the Santa Fe
Railway company has kindly consented to
transport the exhibit over its lines free of
charge.
Again, as was stated by Frank Virgins,
secretary Of the Los Angeles chamber of
commerce in letter to this paper, space
of 1000 square feet has been set aside by the
directors of the exposition in the Mines and
Mining building for an exhibit Of California
minerals. free of rent.
In view, then, of these two facts, one Of
which is that the Santa Fe company will
carry the exhibits without charging a cent,
and the other that the directors of the ex-
position have granted space free Of charge,
it Is not, surely, too much to much to ex-
pect that the small amount required for
collecting and arranging an exhibit will
be Forthcoming.
But 1t must be remembered that what
there is to be done must be done quickly,
otherwise the space which the directors
Of the exposition have placed at the dispo-
sition Of California for mineral exhibit
will be withdrawn.-Los Angeles Review.

BASKET BALL

There was an exciting game of basket
Lall Saturday In the Y. M. c. A. gymnasium
between teams from Los Angeles and Pasa-
dena. The game was somewhat sided,
but considering that 1t was the first game
the visitors had played, they made an ex.
cellent showing. Nevertheless the ball
was kept nearly all tho time in the terri
tory of the home team. Captain Wing was
unable to hit the basket on four throws, so
gave Lettelier an opportunity of distin-
gushing himself, which he did very sue
cessfully.
The star play of the evening was made
by Lettelier, when he Gagged the ball at
distance of twenty-five feet. series of
games will be played in the near future.
