following account Of novel reunion
which has just been celebrated there:
The Earthquake babies" held a re.
union this afternoon at the home of
DR.. and Mrs. f. f. Knoorp, 3OO1
Jackson street, when Master Francis
Knoorp, who made his advent less
than a week after the earthquake of
1906, entertained several other young
people who arrived in San Francisco
wiGin a very short time before or
after that event.
A delightful Christmas tree was
the mild amusement offered these
calamity infants" whose earliest
days were so filled with existing oc-
currences that their parents have
never been able to maintain the
standard set them.
A healthier, heartier happier gath
ering of handsome 20-months-old ba-
bies 1t would be hard to discover, none
OF them showing signs of the hard
ships Of their infancy either physi-
cally or mentally. Some 20 babies
attended. Among the guests were
three who were born on the Preside
slopes during the first day of the
fire, two who first saw the light in
Golden Gate park while the smoke
hid the sky. and one who was forced
rom her home to escape the on COM
ng fire, six hours after her birth.
Among the guests were small Miss |
Kathryn Sullivan, the dainty daugh- |
er of Mr.. and Mrs Harry Sullivan,
Who was compelled to become a flee |
ng refugee at the age Of 10 days:
Hiss Clara Bell Rapp, whose parents

REWARD FOR SILICA SAND.
Portland Firm Would Secure Deposit
for Glass.

fOf GlHSS.
Portland, Dec. 30.-(To the Ed
itor You have printed articles at
different times relatives to the dis
covery of large bodies of silica sand,
and the oregon Development league
desires to present 500 to any reader
of your paper or any citizen Of Ore
gon, Washington, Idaho, Montana or
California. who will find this sand
to fill the requirements demanded by
the Columbia Steel works of this
city, who have made this offer
through the league:
I'VE will take one hundred tons
each month of silica sand, 9S per
cent pure silica and free from iron
oxides. delivered at Portland at not
to exceed Sc per ton, and we will pay
500 in cash to the discoverer."
Silica sand is now being shipped
to Portland and other iron and steel
manufacturing centers of the Pacific
coast from Minnesota. 1t has been
frequently reported that large guam
titles of pure silica have been dis
covered. and the community that
"makes good" in this instance has a
greater source of revenue than gold
or copper mines, lumber mills, or fac
tories of any kind, for when a de-
pendable quality of silica sand is
found in quantities sufficient to sup
ply the demand, all the iron works
from the Gulf of California to Alas
ka, and from the Rocky mountains
west, will be customers.
1t may just as well be given to the
public now as later that the steel

mu-ti-mlllionalres engaged in the

yestigating different points on the
Pacific coast with the idea of build
ing another p ttsburg.
Don't worry about the present
freight The discovery of a large
quantity Of silica shnd would make

the sand now comes from Minnesota.

That grave suspicious are enter
tanned by the public in regard to the
failure of the Title Guarantee &
Trust company of Portland, is shown
by the following from the Portland
Orogonian of December 29. The
oregonian says:
Poverty is not the share of j.
Thorburn Ross from the wreck of the
Title Guarantee and Trust bank, ac-
cording to a statement of his proper
ty left by him with the bones of the
institution.
The statement shows the president
of the defunct bank still to be the
possessor of a good income and
wealth to the value of $202,435,
plucked from the Title company dur
ing the halcyon days, largely from
rakeoffs and stock jobbng.
And not only were the pickings
fat for Ross, but also for Ladd and
Tilton, who in less than seven months
of the present year collected from
the now defunct bank the sum of
TA'oiooo'fV, VI WHICH, SIO i,0OO.4U
was principal and interest payments
on two notes for $4,000 owing
Ladd & Tilton, and amounting on
April 10, 1907, to S769,794, including
interest. That debt is now $6O7,-
256.S6.
Where Did They Get IL? i
Whence came the S167,36S.40 pay
ment to Ladd & Tilton? As the
Ross bank was run on the money of
depositors and the state, and this
money was not separated from the
earnings, there is little room to doubt
that 1t came from depositors. If be
added the $4,000 which the bank
paid Ladd & Tilton on November
during the holidays, from the pro-
ceeds of a mortgage sale, the total |
money collected by Ladd g. Tilton
from the institution since April Is. |
1907, was $193,368.40.
Ross will be called upon to give |
over to the Title bank the property |
in his hands to help pay the banks
creditors. He obtained his holdings. |
as the books show. by means of rake
offs from deals between the bank
and its various subsidiary companies.

COSTELLO OWNER OF
 BARTLETT PROPERTY
Tombstone Capitalist Closes On Tucson Real Estate
 With a History,

Martin Costello, the capitalist from Tombstone, was a hurried visitor to Bisbee yesterday arriving on the morning train and leaving again for the county seat on the same day.
 Last week in Tucson Mir. Costello concluded a purchase for the Ezra Bartlett property on Congress avenue, which at one time was the scene Of high rolling" and tiger fighting" before the Arizona legislature step ed in and put the ban on public gamb- ling. Bartless was the proprietor of the Legal Tender at the time of the famous diamond swindle perpetrated upon Albert Steinfeld, the king of merchants in Tucson. Bartlett assist ed a crook named Harcourt to pun of the swindle but later through the process of a civil action he was com pelled to repay to Steinfeld the amount of his loss.
 That trick proved the undoing Of tae gambler in Tucson. In order to raise the money to pay the court i.ad5naeza+- Bartlett mnrt9aRed- to Cos tello the Congress avenue property and five dwelling houses and this is the property which fell into the hands of Costello at Tucson last week. Ali ter the civil case was concluded Bart lett was tried criminally but was not convicted. Later he left the territory for New York and in a recent letter to Costello stated that he would never come back. Adios, Bartlett.

STOCK HOLDERS
 OBJECTING ID
 DUEY s GIBBS
Many Stockholders of Ander- Apache Company Refuse to Pay AsSeSSment-0verlock Resigns As President.

The holders of stock in the Ander- son-Apache Copper Company are in a quandry as to just what move 10 make next; at least, so far as can be learned fron interviews with sew - - = a5..=- =a.sel. 2. .lAeese +hnyl have made no arrangements for a definite action. The trouble has arisen over the difference of opinion as to wheth- CT or not the secretary and the vice president of the company. J. A. GlDOs and Harry Duey, should be allowed to retain their offices.
 An assessment was announced some time ago, and the last day upon which it might be paid was yesterday. Notwithstanding this fact, a largs number of those who hold shares in the corporation have failed to pay the assessment, and have declared their intention to so continue to fail until these officers have resigned or have been removed from the company. L. J. Overlook, who was president of the company, has resigned his pUsi ton which places the vice president, pending the selection o1 another pres ident, at the head of the compang's officers.
 "ACh AAAC hE El VI DhCE oA OhpA ACNAs brokers, failed, there were a great many who. in view of the fact that Duey and Gibbs had been bound over to the grand jury on charges of em- bezzlement, felt that they should re- sign their positions as officers in the Anderson-Apache Company, and allow others not under such charges, to be elected in their places.
 This step has not been taken and the situation remains uncleared. It seems probable however, that action Of some kind will be taken in the near future, as the assessment was not payable after yesterday, except, of course, ac- cordIng to the thirty days notice by publication, which the law requires, and the stockholders are not liable to stand idly by and see their stock go default.

COLLEGE PLAY OF THE ELK'S
 PHASES ALI
None But Words of Praise Heard on All Sides-UnuSual Talent Shown-WilI Take Company To Tombstone.

The Elks must feel repaid for the tireless efforts which they made, and the sacrifices which were necessary. in order that their play, "The College p1nnant 1" rniehf ha accountable to the publse. for nothing but words Of the highest praise were heard on tho streets yesterday whenever the enter tainment was mentiond. All are posi- tive in stating that the play is the best that has ever been presented by home talent in this city The array of talent that was presented by the Elks was a revelation even to themselves as to their ability in this line. and it is
 it to make another similar attempt. their efforts will receive the hearty patronage Of the public.
 While it is difficult where all did so well to comment on the acting of any particular cast. yet justice to the ability of some of the members de mands that this be done. Among the female characters, Miss Grace Mitch ell, who is visiting in the city from Butte. deserves first place. Her in- depreciation of the character assigned her was without a flaw and was a 71N4NC OL snSHalGAAO Np Altt 1CCl bA the company. Waldo T. Tupper is also deserving of special mention for the manner in which he carried his part, as is also Miss Estelle Harmon, who not only played with true his tronic ability the part assigned her in the play, but was a favorite on the musical program. Mrs. Joseph MorrE son, as the friend of the college boys, played this difficult part in way that showed superior ability in imperson- ation, and it is not too much to say that she left nothing to be desired in the character she represented.
 In Q review Of the play it should be mentioned that the work of the chorus would have been a credit to an or ganization in any of the best eompan- ies of the larger cities. The play Sn itself would have been a success, but reinforced as it was by the remark ably skilful chorus. failure was impos- sible.
 The people of Tombstone have ex- pressed a desire to see the play Ot which they have heard so many com plimentary remarks, and so arrange ments have been made for the play to be presented in that city one day this week. There is but little doubt that the success which was attained here will be repeated.
