NOTHING DEFINITE AS
TO FATE OF STEAMER
Unconfrmed Report That City
of Panama Is Wrecked Off
Pigeon Point.

SANTA CRUZ, Cal, Jan, 5.-Noth
ing has yet been received here confirm
ing the report that the steamer City of
Panama has been wrecked of Pigeon
Point.
This afternoon a number of officials
of the Portland Gem company of St
Vincent assembled the mountains in the
neighborhood of their plant, which is
located ten miles south of Waddell
creek, and searched the horizon with a
pair of heavy field-glasses, The quest
was fruitless and they scout the idea
that the City of Panama or any other
vessel is aground of Pigeon Point,
claiming that there are no rocks in
these waters except in the immediate
vicinity OF e~lighthouse, which is
easily distinguished from the beach.
A prominent official of the Pacific
Mail Steamship company said today
that the owners of the City Of Panama
were not alarmed by the finding of life
RATS of the City of Panama. They
might easily have been washed over
board, and the fact that the steamer
had passed Point Sur Indicated that she

port of Mazatlan The company con-

there tomorrow or next day

Still Buying Shares.
Despite the strike and the failure of
telegraphic communication between
Goldfeld and San Francisco, there is
heavy buying of choice shares on the
local exchange, and significant fea-
ture of it is that the largest purchasers
are of the home talent, clearly indi-
eating faith in the intrinsic merits of
the stocks and an early dawnlug of
industrial amity.
