WOMAN HURT IN
AUTO COLLISION
Miss Irene "McCabe s"
Ride From the Beach
Has a Disastrous Ending

Two automobiles going at good
clip crashed together at Baker and
Grove streets about l o'clock Sunday
morning and a young woman giving
the name of Miss Irene McCabe, an en-
ploye Of the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Company, residing near the cor
ner of Taylor and O'Farrell streets,
was painfully injured in the mixup.
Miss McCabe was bruised on the head
and body and at first it was feared
that she had suffered fracture of the
skull, but DR.. Frank Tillman. to whose
office the injured girl was taken, says
there is no fracture.
In the automobile with Miss McCabe
was R. c. Clifford, driver for DIR.
Furey; a restaurant proprietor, Frank
Beckman. who had hired the car at
the Park Casino, and girl named
Grace. Miss McCabe was the only per-
son injured
D. l. Childs. q chauffeur attached to
the Reliance Garage was operating the
car which struck the Furey automo-
bile With Chiids were Harry Gobler
and two other chauffeurs from the Re-
lance Garage. It is claimed by Gift
ford that Childs was running his ma
chine at a dangerous rate of speed and
did not have 1t under good controk
Clifford says that he picked up Beck
man, Miss McCabe and the other young
woman at the Casino about 1880
O'Clock and drove leisnrely through
the park toward the city Other mem
bers OF the Beckman -McCabe party
were in another automobile, and the
two cars chugged along together part
of the way. They separated before
reaching the Panhandle. In the col
lision Miss McCabe was thrown from
the seat she was occupying with the
chauffeur to the pavement The car
was badly damaged
Immediately friends of the injured
young woman came up in the other
machine and she was taken to Dr. Till
mans Office before the police arrived
on the scene. Every effort was made
to keep the facts of the story from be-
coming public.
F. F. Taylor, manager of the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company. says
that there is no Miss McCabe in his
employ. He said thar there was a Miss
Irene Gaghen working for the COM
pany who lives near Taylor and O'Far-
rell, the address given by Miss Nc
Cabe.

VICTIM Of CRIME
STILL LINGER5

Hoping against hope that conscious
ness might return for a few minutes to
William Freide, the victim of the muir
derous assault Friday in the clothing
store at 1856 Market street. a police
officer has remained constantly at the
bedside of the injured man ready to
take down the account which the re-
turn of reason would make possible
Freide remained nntn last night at
the Central Emergency Hospital, when
he was removed to Mount Zion Hos
pital. Despite the fact that his skull
is badly crushed and that death has
been expected hourly by the physicians
in charge, he has fingered on, but has
shown no signs of regafning conscious
ness. At times he has seemed to recog-
nize his wife, who has remained with
him ever since he was taken to the
hospital, and at other times he has
lived through the mysterious tragedy
in his delirium.
Police officers have been working
constantly on the case, but not the
slightest clue as TO the identity of his
assailants has been found, and the only
hope Of the police is that Freide may
recover sufficiently to give an account
of the crime before death occurs.
Policeman Cook of the Southern sta
ton yesterday received information
which led him to arrest Joseph Haw-
kins of pa Florida street on suspicion
of being implicated in the assault on
Freide. Cooks informant stated that
Hawkins. who is a teanster, could
throw some light on the crime. and the
man was arrested at Eighth and Fol-
som streets. He was found to have
two heavy door knobs on his person
at the time of the arrest, but accounted
for them by stating that he had found
them and was keeping them for souye-
Mrs. He was sweated out by Detective
Ed Gibson, to whom he gave a clear
account OF his whereabouts at the time
of the assault, and was later dis
charged.

INVESTIGATION is BEGUN.

Every miner in the State is watching
eagerly the proceedings that the Gov
ernment has inaugurated in Butte and
Plumas counties. The investigating &
party that has been sent out to inquire
into the alleged land grabbing. under
which vast tracts amounting to hun
dreds of thousands of acres of timber
have been acquired by placer locations
by a few parties is now in the field.
According to the accounts received
from PlHmas County. where the gov
ernmentai investigators have pitched
their first camp, there are ten in the
field, three being geoiogists, two law
yers and five unclassified. these last
presumably being assistants. n H.
Yard is quoted by the Sacramento Bee
as saying at this stage of the game
that each step that was taken by him
and others in fling on lands in Butte
and Plumas counties was based on ex-
pert legal advice and that the North
California Mining Company, under
lands were made in large number, cam
not be dispossessed.
An odd happening at the State fair
attracted the attention of the Bee.
which makes the following statements:
CONTROLS COUNTY EXHIBIT.
The fact that the North California
Mining Company was In charge of the
Butte and Plumas mineral exhibit at
the pavilion last week instead of a
commercial organization representing
the two counties probably aroused no
comment, but the arrangement never
theless was significant
The purpose of the exhibit, 1t Is be-
lieved. was not SO much to advertise
the mineral resources OF Butte and
Plumas as to produce the impression
that the vast holdings of the North
California Mining Company in the two
counties named are mineral in charac-
ter and not timber, as agents of the
Federal Government allege and the
public generally believes.
The Government has undertaken to
make a thorough examination to de-
termine the character of Yards hold
done, it being charged that while the
sum prescribed by law has been ex-
pended yearly on the claims the work
done has looked more to the exploita-
tion Of the timber resources than the
mineral deposits and therefore is not
valid. If this is true. say the inspect
ors. the Government will at once take
possession of the land
Government will oust the North Call
fornia Mining Company are met by the
answer that the Government cannot
override its own laws, and that If it
should attempt to do SO 1T will have to
fight the matter out in the courts
Against this view of the case it is
alleged that placer locations cannot be
sustained legally on lands that are not
mineral in character under the gov
ernmental tests regulations provided.
From this it will appear clear that in
teresting proceedings are likely to take
place, with all California mining men
as concerned spectators.

COMPANY GIVES UP

SEATTLE, Sept. 1s.-Captain j. F.
Trowbridge, general manager of the
Northeastern Steamship Company yes
terday received a message from Captain
Soule of the Oregon which stated that
the steamer was a total loss and that
she was completely submerged. Cap
tain Trowbridge stated that the Oregon
lay at the foot Of a zoe foot cliff and
that 1t would be utterly impossible for
any vessel to attempt to salvage her
on account of the strong tides running G
in that vicinity and the exposed posi-
ton of the spot in which the ship lies.
The cargo will also be a total loss.
Until the message from Captain Soule
was received it was intended to send a
wrecking tug there, but the company
has now altered its plans.

hills bordering the valley, and suscep-

rugged mountains of the San Rafael

as careful examination of the country
as has happened in more accessible re-

There are auriferous sand beaches
between Point Pedrenales and Point

platinum in commercial quantities.
Work on the beaches is carried on in

Interesting Statistics
Gathered in Santa
Barbara County.

State Mineralogist Aubury has taken
up the Investigation of the mineral re-
sources of Santa Barbara County and
has issued a register of its mines and
minerals. together with a map on which
roads, trails, railroads, the. location of
mineral deposits and of oil wells are
delineated. Some difficulty is reported
By Aubury in securing data Numbers
of mines were closed down, with no
one in charge at the time of the visit
OF a field assistant. No data could be
gained concerning these, as there was
no one to give information, and even
the names of some of the mines were
unknown. All the known mines in the
county were visited. Three maps are
supplied to describe the principal oil
fields of the county.
The mineral wealth of Santa Bar
bara County," so Auoury reports, Ties
chiefly in its productive oil fields. The
Santa Maria and Lompoc fields prom
ise to be among the most productive
on the coast. The wells are deep, vary
ing from $500 to 1900 feet, the latter
being the deepest producing oil web
in the world. The limits of the pro-
ductive area have not been defined.
Il is estimated that the present field
could produce easily $4,000 barrels a

amount"
