We owe an apology to our es-
teemed contemporary. In our
report of the Commissioners
proceedings last week we stated
that S17.6l was ordered trans
ferred from the Trust account to
the Current Expense Fund,
which was an error; the transfer
was $7.6l. The NEWS tries to
be accurate, and regrets mislead-
ing any one, especially a news
paper man. We won't do it
again, brother.

PROSPERITY IN WHITE PINE

That White Pine county is
rapidly coming to the front is
evidenced from the increased ac-
Nvity seen in all parts of the
county. The gold mines in Osce-
ola and Cherry Creek are show
ing up as they never have be-
fore; 80 are the lead mines of
Hamilton.
On account of the isolation of
the county from the nearest rail
road, it has been difficult to get
capital interested. Most of the
nine owners have been too poor
10 do more than keep up the de-
veiopment work. This has been
especially true of the copper
mines around Ely.
By slow degrees capitalists
have been induced to take hold
Of . few properties in the various
camps and the results have so far
exceeded expectations that others
have come forward, till now ev-
cry mining camp in the county
has taken on renewed life. The
investors are so satisfied with
their purchases that they are
buying up, not single claims,
but groups.
Such bodies of ore have beer
uncovered that railroad men SET
that White Pine is destined Il
oecome pU"s- in the mining
world, and are running a line {;
connect US with the veins of com
MERGE.
Camps that spring up with
mushroom growth are too apt t,
die as quickly. White Pine ha,
no boom camp; but like The
sturdy oak from a little acorr
grows, we have struggled along
with our development work, til
now the result satisfies the mos
conservative moneyed men who
want to increase their worldly
holdings by extracting from
Mother Earth those metals which
she has SO ingeniously tried tt
hide from their view.

MAYOR DESIRES
MORE REVENUE

OAKLAND. June 26.-Mayor Mott be-
ieves Oakland should spend not less than
100000 annually in permanent public inn
provements. He declares the municipal
ity should take advantage of some of the
natural beauty of location and environ
ment with which the city is favored. To
carry out the idea without imposing 700
severe a burden upon the taxpayers is
the problem the chief executive has in
hand.
In casting about for additional sources
of revenue to meet the demands of the
times. his Honor has begun an investi-
cation of the municipal license system.
The Mayor says the city does not derive
sufficient income from that source. In
reviewing the situation the Mayor said
to-day:
San Francisco is spending 81, ,O00. 900 year
in permanent public improvements. Los An
geIes Is putting considerable into bettermefts.
Oakland Is not using dollar Of its revenue to
such end. This should not be so. Inquiry
has demonstrated that these cities are using
many more sources of revenue than is Oakland.
Many lines OF business pay license tax IN
those cities and are exempt in Oakland.
II we can get more revenue from new sources
We shall be able to DO something We shall
make a systematic survey 10 discover where
revenue can be produced This does not neces-
sarfiy mean an increase in taxation. What
we raise legitmately outside the ord-
fary OF municipal income will be used
for improvements.
/ desire TO be placed on record emphaticaliy
and unsaulvocslly in favor or making improve
ments. The citizens of Oakland must do their
port the municipal government If they desire
permanent results.

complaint that Mrs. Ellen Nigro, the
widow. and Mrs. Oscar F. Breiling, the

TO make his will in their favor by
threatening to send him to an asylum
for the insane. II is also alleged that
the witnesses, r. j. Callaghan and J..
NJ, Kane, did not sign the will in the
presence or at the request of the
decedent. The elder Nigro was rs
years old when he died. He came to
California from Italy in the early SOS
and bought for $4,000 the property at
Eddy and Mason streets that is now
valued at 100000. He was a musician,
but soon after reaching San Francisco
he engaged in the restaurant business
and made a large fortune from the
Poodle Dog. The estate is estimated
at 100000.
When the will was filed several
months ago a contest was brought by
Domencia and Francisco AIberti. who
had been named i'm former will as
executors. The matter was settled out
of court however, ii being stated that

son FINDS FATHER
THOUGHT TO BE DEAD
Long Lost Parent Invites
Child to Make Him
a Visit.

ALAMEDA, June 26.-After believing
for twenty years that his father was
dead, Fred Bergstrom, a plumber of
this city. has discovered his sire in
Houston. Tex. where the man so long
thought TO be dead is engaged in the
tailoring business.
According to the younger Berg
strom, his father left him and his
mother twenty years ago. when the
young man was but a child. and all eff
forts to fathom the mystery of the
disappearance proved fruitless. Mrs.
Bergstrom mourned her husband as
dead, and braveiy set out to make a
living for herself and little son. She
raised the boy to manhood. and two
years ago passed to her final reward.
Fred Bergstrom learned from friends
who had known his father and mother
that his sire had been seen in Houston.
He wrote to the postmaster of that city
and received the address of a c. H.
Bergstrom. He communicated with his
nameSake, and few letters convinced
them Of their relationship.
Bergstrom. the father, impaired the
information to his son that he had mar
rieo after leaving his mother and that
he had reared another family He in
vited his Alameda offspring to visit him.
and the younger Bergstrom plans to
leave for the Texas city at Christmas
time TO visit his father.

Woman Fails to Appear to
Press Charge She Made
Against Former Pupil
JUDGE DlSMISSES CASE

OAKLAND, June 26-Bidden by the
spirits, SO the story goes, to abandon the
prosecution of A. Normand, whom she
charges with disturbance of the peace,
Mrs M. E. Hall of Allendale this morn
ing failed to appear in Judge Quinns
court to press the charge she had made
against the defendant After waiting for
some time for telepathic or other COM
munication from the prosecuting witness,
Judge Quinn ordered the case against
Normand dismissed 1t was whispered,
however. that fear of further publicity
regarding her relations with her erstwhile
pupil In the mysteries of the occult had
more to do with Mrs. Halls action than
the counsels of her unseen advisors.
Letters alleged to have been written by
Mrs Hall to Normand were introduced
in evidence at the hearing OF the case
two weeks ago. and they were of char
acter so sensational that the woman was
|. thrown into Mysteries. She even swooned
In court, and 1t was with difficulty that
Constable Tom Carroll, the muscular
hammerthrower supported her. Judge
Quinn was compelled to adjourn court for
week and when the case came up for
hearing again Mrs. Hall fled doctors
certificate that she was too Ill to attend.
Another adjournment was ordered and,
in the meantime Attorney H. 8. Aldrfch
notified Judge Quinn that should Mrs.
Hall not appear to-day the case might
be dismissed by consent
Mrs Hall, who is the wife of William
Hail formerly clerk of the San Francisco
Police Commission, and Normand met at
a spiritualistic seance in San Francisco
about year ago. Normand had just
returned from South Africa. where he
had engaged in mining. The two soon
became friends and Mrs. Hall undertook
to teach Normand the hidden art" AS
side issue they formed a partnership
in the chfcken-raising industry at Allen
dale. A house and lot were purchased
there and tent was pitched in the yard
for the use OF Normand, while Mrs Hall
occupied the residence,
When they had established themselves
at Allendale the lessons in telepathy
mental suggestion and other occult arts
began. Each evening at 9 O'Clock they
would concentrate their thoughts and the
next day they would meet in parks and
other places and tell each other the i'm
pressions they had received. All this was
explained in the letters alleged to have
been written by Mrs. Hall to- Normand
The letters were signed Agra and
Normand was addressed as "Candor. "
Mrs. Hall denied the authorship of them
when placed on the stand, but letter
signed with her own name was intro
duced to prove that their relations We're
