The Del Monte golf meet from Septem-
Der 4. to 9 is the biggest thing on the
cards for next month.
At the same time, there will be an au-
tomobse meet and tournament, so there
will be no dull moments during the week.
Somehow, the impression has gone
abroad that Mr.. and Mrs. Francis Me-
comas are planning TO go to Europe.
Such is not the case-not until the clever
artist has got all of California landscapes
he wants. Then. and not until then, will
he go away. taking with him to Europe

The reception given by Mr.. and Mrs. w.
C.. Morrow last Tuesday evening was an
affair of informality and cleverness. The
set programme is decidedly passe and
with the gathering of talented people en-
tertairIment is spontaneous and unan-
nounced.
Miss Ruth Powers singing was ex-
tremely enjoyable. her voice showing the
highest cultivation.
John Mcknight gave two poetic read
ings, beautiful in thought and deliver
ance.
The talents of Edwin Star Belknap
and Harvey Worthington Loomis were
but lightly exposed, leaving keen thirst
for more, and the hope is sincerely ex-
pressed that they will allow us a further
insight to the charm of their achieve
ments. The harmonies of the Indian are
weird and, to the ear unacquainted, al
most grotesque, but there's a constant
appeal to the music lover that, even
though indehnable. is impressive, and Mr.
Loomis has civilized the savage tone
with tactfu sufTiciency while letting none
of the original color escape.

humorous. the daintier receiving the

paniment while those in solo display

Miss Carol Moore is seeing very
busy days between the demands of her
wedding preparations and her friends
The latter are insistent of some at
tention. for Miss Moore is so soon to
leave the nome circle that more than
the ordinary demand is made for her
presence.
Among those who will entertain for
Miss Moore are Miss Maisie Langhorne
and Miss Gertrude Allen.

The engagement of Miss Edith Down
ing to Captain Benjamin Jones Edger
is pleasing news and also somewhat of
81 surprise.
Miss Downing was at one time resi-

her is heard with interest all over the

Captain Edger has been attached at
the Presidio and his friends are many
hereabouts.

name identified with the early annals Of
Alameda County.
She has been abroad with her par

sonal and educational qualities a very
attractive girl.
Last Wednesday Miss Downing gave
luncheon to announce her engagement

to a precipitate Lenten season.
The Greenway dance on November 4

The first ball of the winter will be the
annual charity ball of the Albert Sidney

An impression appears to have gone

to be given in honor of the visiting dele

Such is not the case, however.

MINING NOTES.

Nanaimo, B. C.-After a struggle of
nearly five months, which has brought
the business houses of Nanaimo to a
state of bankruptcy, the end of the
coal miners strike is now believed to
be in sight.
Reports from the Occur d'Alenes in
dictate that the Chesapeake & Tama-
rack mine is working in body of es-
pecially rich ore.
Announcement is made that the
American Shelters Securities COM
pany has purchased a controlling in
terest in the Federal Mining & Smelt-
ing company, through the acquisition
of approximately 100000 of the out
standing common stock. AS the Amer
lean Smelling & Refining company
controls the American Shelters Secu-
rites company, the former company
American Shelters Securities com
pany has also acquired nearly all the
capital stock of the Dairy Farm mine
of California, a valuable copper prop
erty. The American Shelters Securi-
ties company will receive from its
100000 annually, but under the sys-
tenn of smelter improvement and ex,
tension planned the income will soon
greatly exceed this, while it will virtu-
ally control the smelling business.
The Federal Mining & Smelling
company was organized by Charles
Sweeny, with an issued capital of
100000 common and $4,000 900 pre-
ferred stock. 1t was a combination of
the silver-lead mines of the Occur
d'Alenes, and John d. Rockefeller. Jr.,
was one of the directors. Mr.. Sweeny
was heavy stakeholder and president
of the company. He recently disposed
of his interests for about $2,60O,000 to
the American Shelters Securities COM
pany.
The Idaho Giant, situated two miles
south of Mullan, Idaho, is making an
exceptionally good showing.
A solid block of ore, valued at $45
per ton and weighing over three tons,
is among the ore samples on the dump
at the Mckinley mine, near Grand
Forks, B. G..
Discovery of gold bearing ledge is
reported from the Bald Mountain dis
trict Of eastern Oregon. That it assays
$4,000 to the ton is the smallest esti-
mate while some are of the opinion
that $4,000 is not too high. The new
find is an extension of the group in
which such a rich strike was made a
few days ago by Messrs. Besslers and
Dunno, and known as the Gold Nugget
group.
Production of the mines of Boun-
dairy for last week was 1899 tons;
total for year, 619,172 tons. Boundary
shelters last week treated as follows
CRANKY smelter, 1885 tons; B. G.
Copper smelter, 1923; total treatment
for week, 1918 tons. Total for year
to date, 636,1 tons.

Baby Attacked by a Monkey.

Carson, New, Sept. 21.-Little Mar
garet Minnock, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. James f. Minnock of Puget sound,
who have been visiting her sister in
law, Mrs. James Quinlan of this city,
was terribly mangled by "Jo," mon
key that escaped from the Emporium
ZOO"
The monkey broke out of the cage
and made his sceape down Curry street
and drove children, and even grown
people, into their homes, and then
leaped the fence of the Quinlan resi-
dence and attacked Margaret, curly
headed baby of 10 months, who was
sitting on the porch with her mother
and also a child of Mrs. Quinlan. The
animal leaped on her and seized her by
the back of the neck, cutting a cash
with his teeth two inches in length,
finally biting fragment of the skull.
Mrs. Minnock ran to the aid of her
baby, and struck and kicked at the
beast, which in the meantime had
caught the child by the left wrist and
had severed an artery, causing streams
of blood to gush over the mother and
child. He bit out a portion of the
fiexor tenton.
The brute turned toward the Quinlan
child, but the screams of Mrs. Minnock
brought help, and after making an at
tack on the young woman, go" fled
in the direction of George Kitzmoyer,
who was coming to the rescue. Kitz-
meyer at once rushed into the house
and, procuring gun shot the monkey.
The child will be cripple for life
if it survives its injuries.

Wreck IN NEVADA

Reno, New, Sept. 21.-Twenty-five
presons are injured and one man, Geo.
Wareman, is dead, as the result of a
terrible headon collision on the South
ern Pacific road between two freight
trains. followed by the rear end coils
ion between two passenger trains at
point nine miles west of Beowawe.
The wreck from the reports given
out, was caused by one of the engineers
on the freight trains running past his
orders. An effort was made to stop
the incoming passenger trains with sue
cess for the first section of No. 3,
though moment later the second Sec
ton, said to be in charge of Engineer
Ross and Fireman Tinville, plunged
full speed into the first sectin. The en-
gineer and fireman are reported among
the those injured, though this is not
positively confirmed. Many more
deaths are expected when complete de-
tails are in.
Physicians, nurses and supplies, in
addition to three wrecking trains, are
now either at the scene or rushing to it
to render aid to the suffering.

Circus Tent Blew Fown.

Maryville, Mo-, Sept. 19.-The big
tent of Ringing Brothers circus col
lapsed here. Two men were probably
fatally injured five seriously hurt, and
more than two score others bruised
and trampled on. The injured:
Charles Robinson, son of H. E. Rob-
inson of the Marysville Tribune, prob
ably fatally hurt by falling pole.
Edward Booth, farmer, back broken;
will die.
Mrs. Booth, leg broken.
j. E. Orme, arm broken.
Mrs. John Kane, arm dislocated, in
ternally injured.
Mrs. Thomas CLARK, two ribs broken.
The wind had blown a gale all day
and when there are 10000 people as
sembled in the tent witnessing the per-
formance, an etxra strong gust raised
the enormous canvas high enough to
lift all the poles and supports from
their positions, and the whole mass fell
upon the audience, show people and
animals. The show will be delayed
here several days making repairs.
Animal cages, containing lions,
leopards and tigers, were overturned
aud roars of beasts added to the confu-
sion.
