BY special invitation the old veter-
ans and their families assembled at
the home of Captain and Mrs. g. w.
Latin on Saturday. The date was
fixed by that esiimable couple for
that time because strawberries, of
which they havea large supply, would
be at their best and they wanted to
have the pleasure of giving their most
valued friends a rare treat and they
surely did it. Accompanying the in
vitation was a request to bring no
baskets as they desired TO furnish
the entire dinner I. has been said
that ladies of literary attainment are
not experts in culinary affairs. If
that be true as a rule, Mrs. Latin is
an exception as her dinner on that
occasion would fully demonstrate,
After the sumptuous repast a few
minutes were occupied in expressing
thanks for and appreciation of the
generous hospitality, and regrets for
their proposed removal from DeSmet
The captain replied in a few we'll
chosen words expressing the pleasure
of himself and family that so many
had honofed their invitation. So went
into the past another one of those
happy occasions peculiar to the gath
erings of the old vets.

CIyde=Jackson Well


The Clyde-Jackson oil company has
cemented the water off its Newport
bay we'll at depth of $500 feet. after
passing through 155 feet of sand, and
will get ready to bore the plug on the
27th, when they expect to bring in a
good well. Mr.. Jackson says that the
oil brought up in the bailer was light
oil Snd if the we'll comes in with a
good production it will be a profitable
one for the company.
So far operations in the Newport
bay field have not been satisfactory for
one reason or another, the troubles
being principally of a mechanical ma
ture- The Balboa oil company lost its
first we'll by the collapsing of the cas-
ing, and others We're unsuccessful in
shutting off the water. The oil that
has been found was of about IA grav-
ity, whereas the oil in the Clyde-Jack-
son well, which is a mile and a half
south of the Balboa, is a light oil.
The Clyde-Jackson company has 80
acres and the finishing Of their No l
well will be watched with interest. as
its success will open UP a new field of
high gravity oil.-Los Angeles Herald.

Red Ledge Mines

The famous Red ledge near Washing
ton, owned by Clyde Cole and the Will
hanson brothers. continues to yield
as pretty specimen ore as any seen
here. Yesterday when Hector William
son came down on the stage he brought
a small box filed with the precious
rock.
In the show window at Brands jew
elry store there have been placed on
display a number of the rare specimens.
The pieces are small. but some of them
are pure gold, while others have just
enough quartz TO make them beautiful.
The bonanza ore was taken out of
the vein from the lower level, the ledge
being opened up several months ago
through a lower tunnel. In the upper
workings the same kind of jewelry
shop rock was found and it looks as
though the Red ledge is to be ranked
with the first order specimen producers.
Williamson showed a number of
pieces that looked almost like placer
gold but they came out of the quartz
ledge. Next spring the owners will
erect the five stamp mill they recently
purchased on the Red ledge.-Grass
