Hattie Green
More Favorable.

VIM. R. and John Thomas came up
from Oakland Sunday to take charge
of the Central Eureka again. They
state that.the prospects are good for
making some kind of a deal with Mrs
Hettie Green in regards to the old
municated with her short time ago
stating that they were willing to go
in on any kind of proposition that
could be arranged. AS result of
this communication meeting of the
stockholders of the old company was
called in San Francisco about two
weeks ago, and new board of direct
oIs elected. A resolution was passed
that if the Central Eureka Company
would elect director on their board
to represent Mrs Green, that some
arrangements could probably be made
to open up the old property. The
Central Eureka expects to do this as
soon as possible, and then the
negotiations will open. This is the
first time that the stockholders or
directors of the old Eureka company
have met for more than twenty years,
and it is the first time that Hettie
Green has given SO much notice to
any proposition that has come to her
in regards to her holdings. If any
arrangements can be made for operat-
ing the two properties from the
Central about one thousand feet OF
virgin ground lying between the two
shafts will be prospected. The North
Eureka is one of the oldest mines in
the county, finally passing into the
hands of Hettie Green and others.
They worked it for awhile but wher
it was burned out over thirty years
ago they never rebuilt it. Numerou:
parties have tried from thine to time
to get possession of it, but she would
never let go of it. According tt
tales told by old timers this is very
rich mine, and if worked by modern
processes will certainly pay.

Contract is Let
for Approaches.

George Hambric has been awarded
the contract for constructing the
approach to the bridge across the
south fork of jackson creek near the
leila mine. He agreed to do the en-
tire job for $3.50 if there was no
layer of two feet of gravel put on
after the rest of the I'LL had been
made, but no limit is set as to the
time it will take him. The super
visors considered the matter thor
oughly and decided that it would be
too heavy an expense to put on the
layer of gravel, making difference
of $1,000 to the county.
The fill will measure thirty feet
across the top, forty six on the bot
tom, nine feet high against the abut
ments, and running back $50 feet on
one approach, with the same measure
ments on the other side but for dis
lance of $50 feet, making total of
1856 yards to move. Mr. Detert was
approached and is determined to get
back from the county the increase in
his taxes on account of the raise in
his assessment, and the difference
between the county and city taxes,
part of the mine being in the city
and the rest outside. This increase
amounts to about s43o and has to be
paid by the one taking the contract
HambIic intends to use the dump
running the rock in cars TO the I'LL
Some of the material for the chute
will be on the ground by this time
and work will be started Immediately
and he hopes to complete the joi
within forty or fifty days. There arr
great many doubts expressed as tt
whether the bridge will fill the bill
If anything like the amount of watel
comes down in the future as las
year the narrow space between thu
abusments will not permit the waite
to pass. 1t could have been lover
and longer with no extra expense a
the difference would be made up II
the fill, which would not have to b.
so great in that case. Nor is Their
any provision made for the protection
of the embankment where it touche
the abutment. The wear at thes
points in time of flood is bound t.
be great and should be protected will

Taken With Fits

q. T. Justus returned Saturday
evening from visit to his family in
Oakland, and Sunday was taken with
an epileptic fit. DR.. Endicott was
called, and took him to the county
hospital, but when morning came he
was no better. The doctor telephoned
for Mrs Justus to come up, which she
did on Tuesday. He has improved
considerably, and Wednesday was
taken to the home of E. T. Heath,
where he is now. Mrs Justus expects
to take him to Oakland in a day or
two if he keeps on improving.

South Eureka

men few days ago uncovered large
body of good looking rock, but as

A jackson Man
in Colorado

W. q. Anderson, who is we'll
known hereahouts, and who is the
principal owner of the New York
mine and land adjacent thereto, some
three miles south of here, went from
here to Colorado last August. He is
now in Smuggler, Colorado, occupy
ing the position of foreman of the
Iona mine. He writes to his friend
Steve Angove, under date of October
%, in part as follows:
You wanted to know what sort of a
place | would find myself in, and
stated that would be going until /
reached the DEVILS own country.
Well, one cannot call this the DEVILS
country. From all accounts his
country is warm. One can safely
call this Lapland. 1t has showed
every few days since | have been
here. and l came in August. For
several hundred feet in our main
tunnel the walls are incased with ice
and icicles. We employ Swedes and
Films mostly. 1t is too cold for
other nationalities. l can almost see
you enjoying your beautiful sun
shine, but you are doing it standing
up, one of the deplorable features of
your city since its Incorporation.
Where city has a climate to be
proud of people should not be housed
up. In good old days of Evans and
Askey. and other pioneers, your
main street was thronged with good
natured men sitting in chairs No
woman was insulted by them. and
your town was much more prosper
GUS, and | assure you much more
attractive. In Denver and Ell Paso
there is to be found chairs on the
sidewalks in front of the leading
hotels. The sooner your city fathers
get back to the old custom the better.
You can find the people of Stockton
occupying chairs on the main bust
ness streets.
Sin our last conversati ton, you were
deploring your fate, saying what q
grievous thing it was to be tied down.
Why man, you are more fortunate
than l. / will give you an iIlustra-
tion of hardship. A short time ago,
l was on the summit of the Sierra
Madre in old Mexico during terrible
thunder storm. | had an Indian
guide, who was not we'll acquainted
with the country. Our tent was
pitched 100 miles from any place, but
we managed to get out. During the
Boxer war, one night about half past
10, was stalled in good sized town
in northern Korea, with 90 bull carts
loaded with dynamite. two natives to
cart. They did not want to go
further that night. With the help of
good club and a revolver l man
aged to get to my destination at 80
the following morning.
We are up in the air here, at an
altitude of IL. 500 feet. We are driv-
ing tunnel which when completed
will be 6000 feet in length. We have
80 stamp mill. This is great
mining country, big mines and mills
all around US. Men are rather scarce.
We pay from So to So per day for
different grades of labor. L do not
appreciate the climate and will head
for Mexico again.

AS usual, the gallery pulled hard for the homo
player In the final round for the first cup and
while she fully realized this, Miss Harley stuck
to her guns and with characteristic pluck fought
the hardest when defeat seemed almost a GER
tainty Throughout the tournament Miss Har-
lcys long game has been noticeable for its
direction. while her putting was good and poor

off the line several times from the tee. pulling
one drive out Of bounds and topping, several
other shots But 20 Offset this her short ap-
proaches were good and her putting deadly. just
when it counted most.
Persistent work at the game has worked won

tournament her drives showed a marked i'm
provement over former efforts. There were
times. however. in yesterdays match that the
Englewood woman's short game usually so
deadly went wrong, but a general thing she
putted well.
Although Miss Harley won the first and third
holes. thereby gaining early advantage OF

Miss Harley pulled her drive out of bounds

that Mrs. Lefferts then stood 2 up. with only
four holes TO play.
II has frequently been said of Miss Harley
that she plays her best when down Ar all

The outlook is particularly bright for many
hard fought football games to-day Three stand
out however, above the others in the Nale-Nest
Point, Harvard-Annapolis and Pennsylvania
Brown games.
Yale and Harvard will, it is expected, have to
show their greatest strength to win, if win
they can. They line up against the embryonic
army and navy officees who. true TO their ira
ditions viii die in the last ditch before surren-
derfng. Both at Annapolis and West Point
high hopes are entertained of victory over their
powerful rivals
The Army team had a hard fight with Trinity,
but hardly showed its real strength and, like
Yale, is untried to a large extent. At Annapolis
the situation is somewhat different. Last Satur-
day the midshipmen lined UP against one Of
the strongest Southern teams-a team that last
year beat the Indians-and although the result
was a tie. the Navy is conceded TO have had
slightly the better OF the argument Harvard,
on the other hand. has played no eleven stronger
than williams and will be at the disadvantage
of playing on its opponents grounds and after
taking a long and necessarily tedious trip It is
impossible to predict what style Of play either
Yale or the Army Will adopt but ii seems GER
tain that the midshipmen viii rely frequent
kicking and the use of the forward pass count
ing on Captain Douglass at least to hold his
own with Burr in punting and her fast halves
and ends to execute the forward pass advan-
tageously- AS reports from Harvard say that
the Crimson team expects to rely the for
ward pass itself TO defeat the middes open
and spectacular game can be expected and some
lucky run or unlucky tumble may decide the
contest. At any rate the Navy supporters are
confident in their teams ability hold the
Crimson and will be disappointed in defeat, no
matter how close the score may be.
Slightly oYershadOwed by these two games
is the Pennsylyania-BTOWn match. The Red
and Blue team has been suffering from slump
recently that has discouraged its supporters
and kept its coaches uneasy. Although a week
ago the Philadelphians defeated Swarthmore
with commendable ease il past performance
and condition count for anything they should
find Brown a far more difficult proposition
After discounting Pennsylvania's supposed or
real weakness and estimating Browns strength
at its maximum, close observers of the game
5all to see how the Quaker eleven can lose.
though they concede that the score may be
closer than the casual observer expects.
Cornell, the big Red team which has caused
so much uneasness in the hearts of the coaches

Its hands when the referees Whistle puts the
bah IN play against Pennsylvania State Never
