Late news from Manhattan states
that that camp has had an excitement
equal 10 that OF the opening of the
Walker Lake reservation during the
past week On Saturday last some
samples of copper ore were brought
to an assay Office in Manhattan, and
so large a per cent of copper was re-
turned that one of the assayers was
on before daylight the next morning
for the locality whence it came.
A few others were told of the "hnd"
and they in turn told just few friends.
so that by evening of Sunday not a
team could be obtained from stable
in Manhattan, and all the horses owned
by private parties, and even the mules
doing service on the delivery wagons
were impressed into service for the
trip Of thirty miles southwest across
Smoky Valley to Bank Springs, where
the men who had discovered the cop
per veins were camped. The people
are still going to- view the Strike"
and IT is estimated that over 1000
claims have been located. When one
considers that this. means over 10000
acres, and that each locator declares
that he has got fne-looking ground,
the size of the deposit may be imag-
ined. In all probability there will be
some shrinkage as developments are
made, but just now bonds are being
taken on everything within a radius

MRS. MILES BAIRD.
ASKS DIVORCE
Handsome Wife of Eccen-
trio Clubman Begins Suit
in Marin County Court
CHARGES DESERTION
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
SAN RAFAEL, Nov. 14.-Handsome
Ruth Jackson Baird applied to the Su-
perior Court of Marin County today to
have severed the marital bonds uniting
her to eccentric Miles T. Baird of San
Francisco. The ground alleged is willful
desertion. She is represented by Knight
& Haggerty of San Francisco and Jo-
seph X. Hawkins of San Rafael.
The marital relations of the couple
have been very unpleasant, principally
because of his love for liquor and his
eccentric manners.
About two years ago Mrs. Baird ap-
piled to the San Francisco courts for
divorce. but was refused. She was
given a monthly allowance of 500 by
the Baird estate and for the last two
years has resided in cottage belong
ing to her mother, Mrs. II. C. Cramer, at
Larkspur. With her was her 9-year-
old son and her sister, Mrs. Quarre,
wife of travelling man.
Baird and his wife resided at Lark
spur for several summers and they at
tracted much attention as they drove in
their bright red dog cart through Ross
Valley.
Two and half years ago Mrs. Baird
decided she could not bear her hus-
bands actions longer and they sepa-
rated. She went later to Larkspur,
where her mother, Mrs. Henry c.
Cramer, owns several houses. She oc-
cupied one of these with her sister, Mrs.
Quarre, and her 9-year-old son. Mrs.
Baird and her sister frequently drove
in the faring red cart through Ross
Valley to this city.
Baird after the separation went to
Larkspur monthly and bimonthly to
see his son. but never would pay the
monthly allowance due from the Baird
estate. His mother was over to see
her grandson Sunday.
