THE "TENDERFOOT."
Annual Meeting of the Tenderfoot
Gold Mining and Milling Co.

The Tenderfoot Gold Mining and
Milling Company held its annual
meeting at Lake Preston last week
Tuesday. A number OF our citizens
went up to attend this meeting and
got showed in for several days. There
were 04,3S0 shares represented, the
most OF it having been taken by Wis
consin parties. A. ]. Roach, of Water
loo, Wis, voted over 10000 shares.
There were present from this vicinity,
about $4,000 shares, in person or by
proxy.
The meeting was harmonious and
enthusiastic. Reports were submitted
by the manager, secretary, and treas
urer, and showed a very gratifying
condition of the affairs of the COM
pany. The value OF the property has
been conclusively demonstrated. and
the sale of stock is now absolutely as
sured. The price of stock was ad-
yanced to 80 cents and only 10000
shares were placed on the market at
that figure. As soon as this block is
exhausted a further advance will be
made without notice.
The old board OF directors were re-
elected without dissenting vote, and
all present were loud in their praises
OF the management. AT the direct
ors meeting which followed, E. r.
Trippe was again elected president
and general manager; L. B. Roach,
vice president and treasurer; B. E.
Beers, secretary,
The "Tenderfoot" is no longer a
prospect or an experiment. The COM
pany have a mine, the values'of which
are almost beyond belief. Over two
hundred tons Of rich cynaide ore is
now lying on the dump ready to be
milled. 1t is located in eastern Ore
gOn in the famous Cornucopia dist
rict, where the best paying mines OF
that rich mineral belt are to be found
and which are now turning out ore
that is putting large dividends into
the pockets of the shareholders. The
officers of the Tenderfoot will, in the
course Of the next thirty days, visit
the manufacturing plants of mining
machinery with a view to the purchase
of twenty stamp mill which will be
placed in position as soon as a wagon
road can be built, lumber sawed, anc
a building erected to receive it.
Besides twelve claims Of UNTOLD
value, the company owns its owl
water power. The Imnaha river, {
swift mountain stream, flows through
all their properties, with power suffi
cient to operate all the mills in the
state of Oregon. The claims are al
well timbered and will furnish all the
necessary lumber for building pur
poses and for timbering the mines.
The claims all have ore in paying
quantities. The showings made from
the Tenderfoot are almost fabulous il
their richness, and should the com
pany realize one tenth part of the
values that their assays Indicate, this
mine will prove one of the wonders OF
the century.
Those in this vicinity who hold
stock in the Tenderfoot are to be con
graduated on their holdings.

ESCAPED CONVICT RETAKEN


The negro convict who escaped
from the road camp near Midlothi-
THAN Thursday morning was recap
tured by Deputy Sheriff W. H.
Forbes, after leading the officer a
lively chate of several miles across
fields and through woods.
The first information OF the ne
gro's escape was received by tele-
phone at the sheriff's Office from
Midlothian early Thursday morn
ing. In few minutes Deputies
Sheriff Forbes and Milton Minnick
were on their way to the road camp
to assist the guards in recapturing
Mr.. Niger. Officer Minnick went
the Midlothian road and Mr.. Forbes
rode out the road toward Mountain
Peak, 1t being surmised that the
negro would come one of these
roads to Waxahachie. Later devel-
opments proved that the officers
guessed correctly. AT the point,
near Bill Jones place, where the
dirt road crosses the railroad Mr..
Forbes met the negro coming this
way. The officer called QEthe ne
gro to surrender, but Tnstead of
needing the officers demand he
turned to run and made lively tracks
across a fisld. Mr.. Forbes shot at
him three or four times, but none of
them took effect, only causing an
increase In the fleeing negro's speed.
Mr.. Forbes followed eight or ten
miles through woods and across
fields and finally overhauled him in
barn on Col. Cooley Burns farm.
The negro was securely handcuffed
and taken back to the road camp by
Mr.. Forbes and delivered over to
the guards.

A Wheeless Clock.

Marconi has won fame as the In.
venter of the wireless telegraphy,
but ii remained for Joe Harris, a
ieweler of this city, to invent and
construct a wheeless clock. In fact
there is nothing to il but two hands,
one to register the hours another the
minutes. There are no springs or
wheels of any kind whatsoever and
how the hands are made to revolve
has puzzled more than one of the
crowd which this strange piece of
mechanism has attracted today.
The hands are made OF wood and
revolve on small steel pivot. This
pivot is attached to a small piece of
glass which is cemented to the big
plate glass of the show window at
the Oriental drug store. That the
hands revolve can be testified to bv
hundreds who have visited this store
today, but just how they do it Mr..
Harris has not yet explained.

Good Men in Active Demand
for the Board Of

1t is expected that the Regents of the
State University at their meeting to-day
will consider the subject of electing an
attorney of the board to succeed Major
Mhoon. Three candidates may be voted
for-Charles E. Shook, Warren Olney Jr.
and Osgood Putnam. There are indica-
tions that the attendance of Regents will
be large. Judge Mckinley of Los An
geles is in the city and expects to at
tend the session. Lieutenant Governor
Anderson, Speaker Fisk and Superintend-
ent of Common Schools Thomas ]. Kirk
will probably be present. Governor Par

The Thirty-sixth Assembly District del
egation to the Republican local conven-
tion met last night at 1853 Mission street.
f. w. Burnett was elected chairman.
Charles w. Baker was chosen secretary.
'Delegates-elect to the Democratic con-
vention are considering the merits of the
many candidates for the Board of Super
visors. w. M. Clack, merchant, corner
of Market and Haight streets, is on the
acceptable list. 1t is regarded as certain
that a nomination will be rendered to
him. The Importance of nominating good
men for the board seems to be appreci-
ated by the delegates to the respective
conventions In the Republican camp an
CAANt VAL OC lAdNi6 " 6iNc SdCll Assembly
district nominee for Supervisor. AS the
legislative apportionment now stands the
number of Assembly districts in San Fran
cisco corresponds with the number of Su
pervisors provided for by the charter. 1t
is an open question whether the Demo-
cratic and Union Labor conventions will
go so FAR in the Endorsement of home rule
principles as to recognize the right of
each district to name the nominee for the
local legislature
1t is the common impression in Repub-
ican ranks that Auditor Harry Baehr,
Tax Collector e. J. Smith and Treasurer
j. E. McCOugald will be renominated in
recognition of the excellent official record
made by each. Many of the Treasurer's
friends are urging him to get into the
contest for Mayor, but he expresses de-
sire for denomination to the Office that
he now holds.
United States Senator Thomas R. Bard
advises his friends that he will return
from Europe in October. If an extra
session is called he will remain in the
East until the adjournment.

Tivoli.

Probably there was not one person in
the Tivoli audience last night of those
who applauded Eugene Barker when she
sang lie Parlate d'Amor" and ''Margar-
ita" in Faust that knew how much the
fair singer was struggling with perhaps
the first deep sorrow that a young life
may know, the loss of a beloved parent.
A short time before the curtain rose she
received a telegram from Denver, Colo,
announcing that her father, j. c. Putnam.
had died suddenly less than an hour be-
fore the message reached her. The af-
flicted young woman was cast for the part
Of Siebel and the audience could not be
disappointed, so the brave little woman
came before the footlights with a sad
smile on her lips masking a breaking
heart. None of those who heard her un-
derstood why there was so much pathos
in her voice, so much of soul in her sing
ing.
1t was crowded house with Italy play
ing the role of hollyhocks against the
wall, and IL was a splendid performance
OF Faust. Tina de Spada looked the inno-
cent Marguerite and acted the part to the
life. She has improved since she was
here last, not in roundness and volume.
but in delicacy and finish. A wagon load
of flowers went up to her after the cur
tains closed on the garden scene in which
her Jewel Song was encored twice Her
support was excellent.
