HEAR COMPLAIN IS
OF REFUGEES
Supervisors Question Right
of Relief Corporation to.
Collect Rents for Houses
WANT LEGAL ADVICE

The Supervisors committee on chari-
ties and correction heard the sad tales
yesterday of several refugees who had
been evicted from tents in various camps
located on public parks. Mrs. Alice
Lastra, upon whose complaint the meet
ing was called, told how she had been
evicted from her home in Hamilton
Square, and she charged that the en-
ployes of the Relief Corporation had
been prosecuting her because she gave
unfavorable testimony at a previous
hearing held by the Supervisors relative
to the exaction of rent for refugee cot
tages.
Robert C. Tuttle said that he had
been evicted with his wife from Frank
lin Square by a DR.. Dorr. The man
who evicted him said he was acting
under authority of the Park Commits
sioners to eject any one who was con-
sidered Objectionable.
Joseph Lastrice said that he had
been elected from Hamilton Square, but
was told that he might go to Lobos
Square. Mrs. Fleming testified to TAX
ing Mrs. Lastra into her cottage at
Jefferson Square when the latter was
evicted.
Attorney Cooper of the Relief Cor
poration explained that the corporation
did not reco gnize the jurisdiction of the
Supervisors to investigate any acts of
that body.
Don't you think that the Supervisors
would have some say as to whether
rents can be collected from refugees
who are on city property?" asked Su
pervisor Coffey.
That would be a question to be set
tied between the Supervisors and the
Park Commissioners" replied Cooper.
The latter have given up the power to
eject any Objectionable persons from
the parks, and we are not concerned
with the dispute as to who is the ruling
body"
Several other refugees gave testi-
mony, after which the committee de-
cded to ask the City Attorney for an
opinion as to whether the Supervisors
can prevent the collection of rentals
from refugees on city property. The
entire matter was taken under advise
ment and report will be filed next
Monday.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SANTA CRUZ, Nov 2S.-A gigantic
redwood log plunged down the hillside
at Watermans Creek yesterday through
a gang of workmen and killed Ermanus

agility.
The log was being hauled along the
hillside by donkey engine, when it
swerved suddenly and started rolling
toward a crew of lumbermen standing
below. A warning was shouted and all
fled, with the exception of lombard,
who happened to be standing between
two stumps, which blocked his escape.
lombard had been in this country
but short time and leaves a wife and

literature and oratory, a skilled liar at
tanned the fame and eminence of a
Standard Oil magnate or conspicuous
assassin. 10 achievs creditable lie
covered a man with the obloquy, odium
and opprobrium of celebrity. Eminent
liars were pointed GU on the Street aud
had their pictures in the papers.
Cheap, disgusting cigars were named
after them and the police turned out
when they visited town. But now all
that is past. A man may lie until he
drops exhausted and no one will notice
him. In tine, lying has grown far too
commcu. Liars are as thick as grafters.

trict and has made large product. 1t
is on one of the strongest ore courses,
lying between the Golden Chariot and
the Poorman mine.
The Commoner mine, adjoining the
Golden Chariot to the southeast, car
ries one of the characteristic assure
veins of War Eagle mountain and con-
tains some very rich gold-silver bear
ing ore. 1t was worked by leasors for
short period last year and produced
about 100 tons of ore that milled better
than $50 per ton III gold, and is noted
for high grade specimen mineral.
A little further to the southeast the
Never Sweat mine carries well-defned
assure in the granite formation of War
Eagle mountain and the characteristic
rich gold and silver bearing ore for
which adjacent mines are noted. An
adjoining property, still further to the
southeast, known as the Burto, was
operated by its owners during the past
year and mill run made that is said
to have yielded better than $50 per ton
in gold. This vein is we'll defined for
long distance
The tissnres of the War Eagle noun
tain are contained in formation of
eruptive granite, associated with granite
porphyry bikes. They are usually of
small size but very persistent in the
direction of their strike and dip. They
present a history of precious metal pro-
duction amounting to fully $4,000, 900,
and at no place have been followed
down more than 400 feet. The Sinker
tunnel has already attained a length Of
a mile and a quarter. 1t is one of the
best constructed and equipped mining
tunnels in the state, and if continued
another mile and quarter under War
Eagle mountain, would cross. cut its
numerous veins at a maximum depth
of something over $500 feet.
The Banner mine is another of Silver
City's prominent prospects that was
incorporated during the past season
and now forms the basis of a mining
development company who are pushing
work on their property, which parallels
the Trade Dollar Consolidated vein to
the south.
Southeast of Silver City good deal
of prospecting work was done during
the year and several important dis
coveries are reported. This district
contains some large veins that carry ex-
cellent values in gold, silver, lead and
copper, and it is likely to be heard from
with the development of important ore
bodies in the future
The South Mountain district, south
west of Silver City, was also the scene
OF some mining activity during the past
season. South Mountain contains some
large and fairly well developed bodies
of silyer-lead and zinc ore, carrying
good values in gold as we'll.
This district is noted for its large ore
bodies. Its backwardnessi is accounted
for from lack Of railway transportation
facilities. 1t offers some splendid op
portunities for Investment and is likely
TO afford a large tonnage of rich smelt-
ing ore when its different deposits have
been sufficiently opened.
Another class of deposits in this dis
trict are large bodies of iron oxide ore, /
containing good associated values in
copper and gold, and in some instances
a rich development of zinc blend ore
has been discovered.
