WIFE SHOULD HAVE
COIN To SPEND.
Berkeley People Would
Enact Law Forcing
Men to Be Generous
Married People May Be
Compelled to Sign
Pre-Nuptial Contract

BERKELEY. July 1l-Berkeley pro-
poses TO have a law passed requiring
married couples TO sign a pre-nuptlal
contract by the terms of which the
wife viii be allowed a stated portion
OF the husbands income
Wives who have asked with fear ana
trembling for sss with which TO buy
topaz earrings and been curtly denied
the coin believe women get the worst
Of household debates. F. J. Martin.
president Of the Good Government
club. is Of the same opinion and wants
10 right the wrong.
The club is composed of leading men

who has retired from active business,
but is prominent in civic affairs. Mr.
Martin made the following statement
Of his feeling about the re-nuptial
contract idea at the clubs meeting last
night:
when the Legislature next meets
the bill will be drawn and submitted
for adoption. The purpose OF the bill
is in a measure. to make women
economically free It is a sad COM
woman in money matters and business
affairs IS treated as a slave and chnd
too often by her husband and is com
PEELED to virtually beg for pin money.
It am in favor Of law that would
compel both parties 10 a wedding to
sign a pre-nuptial contract, binding
both. This should stipulate the inter
est OF both parties, not only in the
community property but in the income
Of the husband.
IN a country where so much depends
on the influence of the home life we
must have our women placed on an
equality with the men. Marriage is a
roparrncrship and there is no reason
why we cannot regulate this copart-
nership so that the 6efenseless woman
shall NOT be at the mercy Of man
who viii trust her with his honor but
rot with S.
1T is my opinion that misunder-
standings about money matters cause
many divorces. BY having this mat
ter settled before marriage many d.
vorces could be avoided. The breaking
OF the ante-nuptial contract in any
point by either party should involve a
forfeiture Of the property"

FEELEY STILL AT LARGE.

OAKLAND, July 11.-John FeeIey.
who on Sunday stabbed Charles Hus-
sey, a saloon keeper, who later died
of his injuries, is still at large. De-
tectives say 1t is doubtful that Feeley
could be indicted on charge of muir
der. 1t appears that Hussey was the
first to start the fight and that Feeley
could make the plea of having stabbed
Hussey in self-defense. Chief of Po-
lice Wilson said he could not see why
Feeley still remained in hiding, for he
has every opportunity to escape being
held on a charge of murder.
Interest in the case has been greatly
stimulated by the admission of Miss
May Birch, who was alluded to in the
letters found after the death of Mrs.
Hussey as Charles sweetheart" The
young lady today admitted she was
Hussey's wife, they having been mar
ried secretly.

OPINIONS ON CHARTER ERROR.

ALAMEDA. July II. - Attorneys
George t. Wright and C. c. Boynton
have rendered written opinions in
which they hold that the clerical error
made in printing the proposed new
charter in which that section pertain
ing to the awarding OF contracts for
furnishing supplies or doing work for
the municipal electric light department
shall go to the highest bidder instead
OF the lowest bidder, as intended, does
not invalidate the entire instrument.
Boynton points out that there is a sec
ton in the charter which provides for
the possibility Of just such errors and
that the mistake in no wise makes the
projected organic law for the muni-
cipality Unconstitutional.

STRIKE AT BASE
OF COLUMBIA MT.

strike of considerable importance
has been made on the East Side mining
claim, which adjoins the Booth on the
north and the ORC on the west. This
strike was made by the Night Hawk
Leasing company, which has been oper-
ating for the past eighteen months.
The strike was made Monday morn
ing when assays returned from $40 to
$40. Gradually as depth has been at
tanned the assays have risen to as higf
as $500. This was after passing
through twelve feet of ledge matter
and attaining depth of 100 feet.
The ore is very similar to that in the
Mohawk and is a gray sulphide. carry
ing tellurium The formation on the
footwall is birds eye porphyry. The
hanging wall has not yet been picked

1t is the intention of the leasers to &c

GREAT ACTIVITY
NEAR SANDSTORM

Even though Goldheld has given proof
in large measure that II is the greatest
gold camp CT history, yet the extensive
arrangements being made for working
some of the properties, not in the sec
tion of which Mohawk is the hub, and
the excellent possibilities which there Is
for the development of other large
mines, gives a prophetic future for the
camp which was unthought of a few
months ago. The undeveloped section
which is now receiving the most atten-
tion is north OF the Sandstorm and
eastwardly towards the Great Bend and
Daisy mines. This part of the camp
was the earliest located and was the
scene OF the first operations. That this
is most valuable part of the camp Is
evidenced by the interest which some
of the largest operators are bestowing
upon it, The firm of Patrick, Elliott
IL Camp who recently purchased the
Watson group are planning TO start
work on a large scale as soon as local
conditions Will permit No sooner had
II been known that this firm had entered
the north field than Ii was announced
that Kalfus, who has operated a number
of successful leases including one OH
the Mohawk. had purchased the Mineral
Wealth property which was still
farther north of the Sandstorm. The
firm of ID. Mackenzie Il Co., who de-
veloped the renowned Frances Mohawk,
have bought the Red Light and Golden
Fleece claims and will undertake their
former success of making "a mine of the
first class But 1t is not enough that
three of the largest operators In Gold
field should start the development of
properties at the north of the camp.
but this field has also been entered by
new people, as the Chicago Goldf1elds
company have leased one-half their
ground to IL. II. Hunter. the chief en-
gineer of the Frances Mohawk, and w.
f. Almy of Boston, representing eastern
people who are for the first time enter
ing the Goldheld camp. This new de-
velopment will mean considerable to the
district and some Of the best mining
engineers in the country have pro-
nounced the property one of great pos-
sibilities. The north end of the camp
has been allowed to wait development
on account of the great discoveries at
the south which absorbed all attention
for a time, but now work up north is to
] start in many places.

RICH ORE IN
ST. IVES LEASE

The St Ives Leasing company has
attained depth Of $50 feet. On the
100-foot level drift has been run 35
feet to tap the ledge. which in one place
shows value in excess of $4,000 to the
ton The ledge was entered through
the hanging wall and the footwall has
not yet been encountered.
Under former lease seventeen car
loads Of ore were extracted of an aver
age value of s75 ton. The present
leasers have taken out two carloads
more of the same wash.
1t is the intention of the company
to sink to the 300-foot level and run a
drift to the ledge prosecuting the form
alton.
The shaft is being fully timbered a
25 horse power hoist is on the way from
Los Angeles. and will be installed by

which operations are being conducted

CAMP TO HAVE
THROUGH WIRE

Goldfield is to be united to the exten-
sion prive wire system of Logan and
Bryan, greatly facilitating investment
business here. This large brokerage
firm operates many thousands of miles
OF private wires in all parts of the
United States, and the statement
by Mr.. NJ Bryan who is now in this
city, that Goldfield is to be linked up,
is cause for great satisfaction.
A seven minute service is proposed.
Logan and Bryan have a number
of wires in operation between New
York and Chicago and also double
wire between San Francisco and New
York. That this. firm has decided tc
enter the Southern Nevada field is very
largely due to the efforts of Thomas
Robinson who has just returned from
the east. 1t was at his instance tina
Logan and Bryan looked into the posi-
bilities of extending their wire system
/ to here.
