NEGRO CUTS FACE
Of YOUNG WOMAN

Enraged at her refusal to consent to
an immediate marriage, William Smith,
a colored porter of Oakland, attacked
Miss Monuella Gonzales. young ne
gress. in front of the ferry building at
80 o'clock yesterday morning and
slashed her across the face with long
bladed pocket knife. He inflicted an
ugly wound, which will disfgure her
for life.
Once before the young woman had
refused to consider Smiths proffer of
marriage. The meeting last night was
accidental. both being on their way to
their homes in Oakland.
A large crowd gathered around the
couple on hearing the woman scream,
and for a time it looked as though
Smith would be roughly handled by
the angry onlookers, but the arrival of
Officers Keyes and Jenkins of the har-
Dor station prevented further trouble.
Miss Gonzales was taken to the Har-
Dor Hospital where her injuries were
dressed. Smith was locked up on a
charge of assault with deadly wea-
pom.

TRADE MUSEUM IS
TO BE CLOSED

One Of the oldest commercial bodies
of San Francisco, the Pacific Museum,
has decided to go out of existence as
soon as its affairs can be wound up,
and another, the Manufacturers and
Producers Association, is contemplat-
ing tire same step. meeting of the
association has been called for next
Friday to decide what shall be done.
The Pacific Commercial Museum was
organized some years ago for the
purpose Of promoting the export trade
of the Pacific Coast by keeping in
touch with all countries bordering on
the Pacific Ocean and by securing in
formation concerning the lines of
goods that could be sold, the desired
methods of packing, the credit to
which merchants abroad were entitled
and all facts that could give exporters
from the Pacific Coast any trade ad-
vantage. According to directors of
the Museum, it has been concluded
that the work can be performed salts
factorily by the Merchants Associa-
tion.
Hopes are still entertained that the
Manufacturers and Producers Asso-
cation will be maintained It has
been largely instrumental in securing
the enactment of pure food measures.

MANY VISIT BEACH
AND THE PARK

Although there was a cold north
wind blowing yesterday. many people
visited Golden Gate Park and the
beach. The attractive sunshine would
probably have caused many others to
go TO the recreation places had it not
been the day after New Years eve.
when the average celebrater stays at
home trying to get over the effects
of the night before.
Many of the city's s-.oons, were al
most deserted yesterday and a humor-
ist attributed this TO the effect of new
year resol buttons. He also remarked
Tat even the breezes in the park are
turning new leaves"
Several thousand people gathered at
the bandstand in the park and enjoyed
an interesting musical programme
Late rains have given the park foliage
and lawns a bright green appearance
and on all the walks people were en-
joying the crisp wintry air and the
beauty Of the landscape.
All the refugee camps in Golden
Gate Park are now deserted and prepa-
rations are being made TO plow each
site and plant grass. Repairs on the
bandstand and on the museum will be
completed a about another month. All
damage to exhibits in the museum has
been repaired and even the statuary
broken by the temblor has been re-
paired so perfectly that no sign Of
breakage can be detected.

Dividends of Tonopah
Reach Two Millions
Mill Construction Will Make Output OF
District S3O,OOO,OOO Year

The mines of Tonopah have paid
50, 2,200.00 in dividends since January
1, 1905. OF this sum Tonopah Mining
paid s1,200,00O, Tonopah Belmont paid
100000 and Midway 100000. Ten
mines shipped ore in some quantity.
The largest shipper, the Tonopah Min
ing Company, sent out $1,000 tons;
Tonopah Extension shipped 27,50o tons;
Tonopah Belmont, 1880 tons; Mon
tana Tonopah, 1850 tons; Midway, 1000,
and West End 1000 tons. MacNamara,
North Star and Jim Butler shipped
1000 tons all together, and miscellane-
Gus shipments of 275 tons more brought
the total shipments up to 121,375 tons
for the twelve months.
The work of the year enabled the
management of the Tonopah Mining
Company to thoroughly prove the Miz-
pah ledge. Development of the Valley
View ledge, of which much has been
said, is going on at 600 feet depth.
Both the Mizpah and the Valley View
lodges are reported to be improving
with depth. The Tonopah Mining Com
pany has completed a new stamp mill
of 100 stamps at Millers, thirteen miles
from Tonopah. The Midway mill has
also been purchased. The output of the
will enable the Tonopah Mining Com
pany to pay $5,0O0,000 in dividends the
present year.
In the last twelve months the Bel
mont has widened the shaft to three
compartments and has opened the mine
from the 500-foot level to the 1100-
foot level. The management claims that
annual dividends, when the mill is
operated, will be from $2,000,000 to
So, 100000.
The Montana Tonopah is erecting a
forty-stamp mill, that will be COM
pleted in the coming spring. The divi-
dends of the year were passed because
Of the cost of mill construction and
the equipment of the mine. Improve
ments have been made at the Midway,
which are expected to increase the divi-
dends largely. The Tonopah Extension
Company has found the ledge 1900 feet
west of the shaft and has developed a
body of ore forty-five feet wide. A
100-stamp mill will be erected this
year The West End and the Mac
Namara and Jim Butler mines entered
the producing class in 1906 The Tono-
pah Miner says that when the mills
now in construction are completed the
output of the Tonopah district will be
$3o,O00,000 a year at least.
