FOOTBALL GAME
Splendid Play of the Rival Teams Gre
ates Great Enthusiasm

HERE is a saying that the battle
! OF Waterloo was won on the football
field of Eton. To those who witnessed
the Rugby game between the two great
universities of California last Satur-
day this expression may not seem so
fancful as it perhaps did previously.
Certainly no one can doubt that the
training which enabled the teams OF
Stanford and California to play such a
splendid game would also root into the
conduct and character of the men the
qualities of which victorious soldiers
are made.
1t is almost impossible to say which
part of society is most interested in a
football game, as the enthusiasm seems
to be shared alike by the grownups
and the juniors, by the grandfathers
and the children. and the game Satur-
day being the greatest event in local
amateur athletics served to bring out
demonstration of enthusiasm rarely
witnessed. One of the reasons for this
was that both teams belong to Cali
fornia and therefore the friends of
each side were present in equal num-
bers. In most of the big football games
the visiting team. being from another
state. while treated with all possible
hospitality and courtesy, can not ex-
pect to receive the same amount OF
cheering and encouragement which is
accorded to the home team.
Usually, too in other states and
countries, football being winter sport,
the game Is played under climatic con-
ditions adverse to the spectators. who
sit shivering and shaking with the
cold, If not with disappointment at the
way the game goes.
Not so last Saturday, for California,
true to her climate, served garden party
weather for the football game In no
other place could the game have been
viewed with so much comfort and
pleasure.
The victory was won by California.
with a difference of six in the respect
i've scores. 1t was not an easy con-
quest. and the play was one that will
go down in intercollegiate history as
among the greatest Of the great foot
ball games that have been decided in
two decades of annual contests. But
California outplayed Stanford and de-
served the victory. There were no
base the cry of might have been; nor
were there the least evidences of any
but the straightest, cleanest Kind of
play on either side 1t was a battle
well fought by worthy opponents, true
to every ideal of clean sportsmanship.
and won and lost in the very best of
college sport Each team fought from
the call of time to the sound of the
final pistol shot, with every bit of
power and skill at its command. Stan
ford met defeat with no less honor than
that achieved by California in its vic
tory.

ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON


to California, Immediately embarking
on his first Pacific voyage.
stevenson was educated for the bar,
and was graduated from the Edinburgh
university in 1871 In 1875 ne was
called to the Scottish bar, being ad-
mitted member of the faculty or ad-
vocates. He found. however, that inter-
ature was his real vocation, and care
fully trained himself in writing, ac-
quiring a style which gave marked
distinction to everything he wrote.
His first book, AN Inland Voyage,
was published in 1873 and gave
charming account of a canoe trip along
some of the canals and rivers IN nortn-
ern France and Belgium. This was foi-
lowed by Travels With a Donkey IN
Cevennes," being the record of jour
ney in southern France, published IN
1879.
''virginibus Puerisque. and Other Pa
pers," essays, appeared in 1881. ana
Familiar Studies of Men and Books,
published in 1882, established Stevenson
as critic of distinction. His next
offer was the New Arabian Nights.
published in 1882 a series of fantastic
tales exhibiting an odd mixture of the
commonplace and the extravagant. In
1883 a brilliant and realistic story OF
buccaneering days, Treasure Island,
widened Stevenson's circle OF readers
and admirers This was followed by
prince Otto" an essay in the field of
pure romance, which appeared In 1888,
and In the same year Stevenson became
a child again in "a Child's Garden OF
Verse;" which has endeared itself to
thousands. Perhaps the best known of
his books is The Strange Case of Dr.
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" which achieved
an extraordinary success with the pub
lie.
Then followed kidnapped" an admir-
able story of Scottish boys adven-
lures in the middle of the Eighteenth
century, in which field Stevenson found
ample resources unused by Scott; in
this book he attained his highest level
in fiction. The adventures of the hero
of kidnapped" were continued in sub
sequent tale, David Balfour."
Other well known Sooks by Stevenson
are "rhe Master of Ballantrae," and
the uncompleted weir of Hermiston,"
in which many of his critics believe he
attained his highest achievement. His
volumes of verse, Underwood" and
Ballads are of much interest. A
number Of his shorter stories were pub
lished collectively in The Merry Men
and Other Tales and Fables" and In his
Memories and Portraits" were gath
cred a number of magazine articles.
Stevenson went to the South Pacific
ine1SSS and finally settled in Samoa,
where. he died His residence there
supplied material for the stories, ''The
Island Nights Entertainment" The
Ebb Tide" "A Foot Note to History:
Eight Years of Trouble in Samoa"
Other works were The Black Arrow
and "St. Ives" completed by A. T..
Quiller- Couch.

NEW STREET NAMES
Two Hundred Changes I'm the Names of
sam Frnncisc0's Streets

"A ANY of the streets in San Fran
Nv cisco will soon have new names
~ On account of the duplication
of street names there is at the present
time much delay and irregularity in
the delivery Of mail, and to remedy
this condition of affairs commission.
was appointed. the members of which
1abored earnestly for many weeks and
finally submitted report recomSend-
ing about 200 changes in the names OF
streets and avenues. This report was
adopted last Monday by the board of
supervisors and the changes will be
made accordingly.
California is blessed with an historic
background of peculiar Interest ro-
mantle and picturesque. These historic
names will now be grouped in one quar-
ter of the city. which will be distin-
guished by them. At present there are
too many avenues. BY priority of use
South San Francisco is entitled to re-
tain the numbers, while the Richmond
and Sunset districts will be given the
beautiful Spanish names the first set
of which are of historic significance,
commemorating men prominent IN the
days of Spanish occupancy, and the sec
ond set being the names of saints 10
of which have been given to California
missions The last avenue. Forty-ninth.
will be given the name La Piaya-the
beach-thus giving to the whole dis
trict Spanish names of beauty and Sig
nifiCance.
While some of the Spanish names
may be little difficult to the Ameri-
can tongue. the city schools will un-
doubtedly take up the matter of
pronunciation in connection with
course of history telling the tale of the
California of pastoral days and the
mission period.
About a quarter of the new names
selected by the commission are for
citizens who bore worthy part in
the making of San Francisco. which
is q logical extension of the scheme
which governed the early naming of
the streets. Larkin street. for instance,
was named for Thomas A. Larkin,
who was American consul at Monterey
In the 40s. Geary was the first
alca1de. Folsom called after a
distinguished officer of the American
navy who was stationed on this coast
in early days. Brannan was named
after one of the pioneers who was an
important figure in his time. Stockton,
Kearny, Sutter and Hyde keep alive
the memory of men distinguished in
the early days of the American occu-
patton.
One of the most important changes
affects the water front. East street
will be known as the Embarcadero,
which, while 1t preserves the charac-
ter. has the advantage OF being
unique. and applied to San Franciscos
water front will soon come to be
known all over the world. The Span
ish names, musical and sonorous, will
add to the fame of San Francisco.

SON Following an established custom.
the San Francisco friends and admirers
of the celebrated author quietly visited
his monument in Portsmouth square,
laying on Il wreathes and flowers. T. AL
though Stevenson actually lived in CAL
ifernia only a short time. less than
year altogether, as the result OF his
journey to this state and his brief resi-
dence here the literary world has those
splendid volumes. Amateur FGmigrant,
Across the Plains" "An Old Pacific
CapitlI." "Silyerado Squatters." The

last of which makes mention of this
city, while The Wrecker" has San
Francisco scenes. and '.Silverado
Squatters is dedicated to two of his
San Francisco friends, all of which
furnishes powerful reason why Cali
fornia should honor his memory.
Robert Louis Stevenson was born SO
years ago at Edinburgh, Scotland. He
came to San Francisco a few days be-
fore Christmas. in 1879. and lived at
sos Bush street. where he rented
room from Mrs. Mary Carson. 1t was
a room with southern exposure which
opened on veranda. These last two
features attracted him to the house
He was then in very delicate health,
having suffered great privations in
crossing the Atlantic steerage and
crossing the continent, for although his
parents were in good circumstances
they had disapproved of his taking such
long journey and for that reason he
would not ask them for assistance, but
determined to support himself by his
writings, which he had not done pre-
yiously.
When he arrived in California he
went first to an Angora goat ranch.
hoping to recuperate his health by the
open air cure. Camping out there
alone he was found by two ranchers
nearer dead than alive and was cared
for by them until he was able to go
to Monterey. After brief residence at
Monterey he came to San Francisco,
took up his abode in the Bush street
house.
Stevenson loved the Pacific He said:
"It whips all other oceans out of hand"
All the time that he lived in San
Francisco he was very poor and often
subssted on As cents a day. His pow
erty was increased by his generous
disposition, which prompted him to
give his last penny to any unfortunate
whom he might meet.
After a time Stevenson married Mrs.
Osbournc and went to live at Silverado,
deserted mining camp near Calstoga,
for the benefit OF the better climate.
He planned to have ranch home OH
the slopes of Mount st. Helena, but
instead returned to Great Britain, as
his parents could bear the separation
no longer and settled an allowance on
him. Eight years later his father died.
and Stevenson with his family returned

WORKING ON SHERMAN GROUP

Development has been resumed
on the Sherman group of claims
on Pine creek, for the handling
of which a company was recently
Incorporated in Wallace. A large
quantity of supplies, including a
complete blacksmith outfit has
taken out to the property.
Considerable work has already
been done. The ledge has been
drifted on for 100 feet and a
crosscur driven which showed a
width of about Is feet. During
the last 80 feet of this work a
fair amount of galena was ex-
posed and it is now the intention
to continue the drift by which it
is believed that a depth of up
wards of 1000 feet can be OBJ
tanned. The property is accessi-
BILE by a good wagon road and it
is the intention to continue op-
erations throughout the summer.
S. B. Taylor is in charge of
the work.

new LEDGE IN THE NATIONAL

A new ledge of high grade
copper ore has been discovered
on the property of the National
Mining company in the Mullan
section. This ledge shows a
width of IL feet at the surface
and carries two feet of clean
shipping ore.
Recently the shaft filled with
water, forcing a cessation of de-
velopment. Manager R. R. Catch
ing let the water out of the flume
at a point about $50 feet west of
the shaft with the result that a
light covering of earth was wash
ed away, exposing the ledge re-
ferred to. The showing made
has proved so good that a tunnel
has been started which is de.
signed to open the new ledge at
a depth Of 300 feet. When COM
pleted this tunnel will be about
300 feet in length.

SINK SHAFT ON BUTTE &C. D'A.

The work Of sinking the shaft
to the 4OO-foot level on the prop
erty Of the Butte & Occur DIAL
enc Mining company in the Null.
Ian section is to be commenced
at once. The shaft starts from
a point about $50 feet from the
portal of the tunnel and as soon
as the 200-foot level is reached a
crosscut will be driven to the
ledge. This ought to be encoun-
tered in SO feet. While this work
is being done the shaft will be
continued to the 400-foot level
and another crosscut will be
driven. Future development will
depend on the showing made at
the conclusion of this work.
Work will start at once driving
a raise to the surface and the
ore taken out in this work will
be steadily shipped. When COM
pleted the raise will be about |
300 feet.
The property is located a short |
distance east of Mullan and has
a splendid showing of ore, one
car of which has been shipped
netting the company about SAL |
to the ton. For some time past |
development has been hampered |
owing to the difficulty in getting
a supply of electricity but this
difficulty has now been overcome. |

new TUNNEL ON HOLY TERROR

A lower crosscut tunnel has
been started on the property of
the Holy Terror Mining company.
This has been driven about 20
feet and it is believed that the
ledge will be encountered in
about so feet more when drifting
will commence.
A considerable amount Of work
has been done and a good show
ing Of ore exposed. At the time
work was stopped on the No. 2
tunnel a considerable amount of
gold quartz with galena sprinkled
through it, and some iron and
seams of carbonate ore were ex-
posed. A shallow Wine was
sunk from a point near the face
and the rapid improvement of
the ore values in this led to the
determination to drive a lower
tunnel.
The property is located on Bear
creek, three miles above Murray.
A company to handle the claims
was recently organized in WAL

GOOD SHOWING IN Ct. N0R1H'N

A fine showing Of ore has beer
made on the property of the
Great Northern Mining company
which is being developed unde,
a contract for 100 feet let some
time ago to Ed. Eisman. Dur.
ing the last 80 feet of this work
silver chlorides have been show.
ing all through the formation,
together with some pyrites of
copper. Assays of this ore have
shown an average of IA ounces
in silver but no tests have been
made yet for any other metals.
The indications are that a big
strike of ore may be made atany
time.
The tunnel is now in about 400
t feet and has gained a depth of
foot for foot. If the present
showing continues to hold, and ,
judging from the nature Of the
formation, this is practically GER
tain, the Great Northern will
take it's place among the big pro-
ducers.
The property consists of six
full claims, traversed by a ledge
which has been proved a true
fissure and which shows a width
of Is feet. The usual surface
work has been done and ore car
rying values in copper, lead and
silver exposed. The claims are
located about half a mile above
the town of Burke and between
the Great Western and Hercules
mines. Two shifts are engaged
in development and it is the in
tention to work continuously
throughout the summer. The
recent showing has created a
considerable amount of excite
ment in the district. The prin-
cipal owners are located in Los
Angeles, Cal.
