SOUVENIRS OF ST. CR0IX
ARE BROUGHT TO VENICE

VENICE, Nov. 2S.-A visit was made
today to the Malibu by a number of
Venice residents to obtain souvenirs
of the st. Croix, which burned and
sank off Point Dune several days ago.
There were seven in the party, who
went in a four-cylinder Alec 40"
driven by Donald Grays.
A number of reminders of the burned
steamer were brought to Venice and
will be placed on exhibition for a short
time in the dancing pavilion. They
include buckets, boat hooks, dippers
and life preservers, each stamped with
the name of the lost vessel. A number
of pieces of charred wood We're also
found on the beach, where they had
drifted in from the steamer when she
sank six miles off shore.
Investigation of a nautical chart
shows that the st. Croix rests on the
sandy bottom of the sea 224 fathoms
below the surface, where she will
doubtless remain undisturbed.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S-The Mexican
Jockey club has issued a bulletin set
ting forth that nominations to the
Mexican Derby to be run in 1911 close
on December /. The conditions for
this event state that all nominations
must have been pooled before the date
of closing. This will exclude imported
colts and fillies. as the government in
making the $250,000 appropriation for
derbys aims to improve and stimulate
the breeding industry in Mexico
Breeding in that country is in its in
fancy. Governor Landa Y Escandon of
the federal district has the largest
breeding fame in the republic, but he
has only few foals of 1908, one of
them being a half brother to S. C.
Hildreths Force, by Double Scotland
Our Baby. A full brother to Force is
a 1910 derby eligible. He is colt by
Arkle-Our Baby, the dam being
brought into Mexico in foal. The Ar
mour brothers have a few foals by
Madison, but the other breeders in
Mexico have very little. The condi.
tions for the 1911 derby are as follows:
Purse 200 and so per cent of the
entrance fees to winner: So per cent of
the entrance money to second, and Is
per cent to third; for thoroughbred
colts and FLIES foaled in Mexico in
1908 and duly registered in the Mexican
stud book; weights, for colts 126
pounds, for fillies 1913 pounds; entrance
fee, $780, or $50 for the first nomination,
$50 one year from the closing of en-
tries and $3.50 on Monday preceding
day of the race; distance, one and one

BOISE, Idaho, Nov. S.-Prospectors
throughout Idaho are preparing for a
spring run to the Bruneau country a
somewhat isolated district, where one
of the famous lost mines Of the west
has been relocated.
For thirty years there has been a
tradition of a sheep herder who came
to civilization with samples of quartz
yellow with free gold and told his
friends Of a great ledge from which
the samples were taken.
Starting back alone, he disappeared
and was never heard of again.
The finding of a skeleton recently in
the region where the sheep herder
ranged caused a revival Of the tale and
a search for the storied ledge.
The search is said to have been sue
cessful. d. A. Bourne, one Of the pio-
neer discoverers, has returned from the
Bruneau and gives details of the de-
yelopments there.
He says the ore is a telluride and
carries values as high as $4,000 to the
ton. The smallest return from a ran
dom sample was S86 ton, and there
is in sight on the surface ore to the
value of $1,75OOOO. 1t can be quarried

REpLANps NOTES

REDLANDS, Nov. 2s.-County Bee
Inspector r. B. Heron has been out
making the rounds of the apiaries of
the county and has made the startling
discovery. that the bees are starving to
death. He claims there has been a
dearth of sweetness for the bees, the
last coming in June when the orange
blossoms were here, and unless the lit
tie workers are fed they will starve
during the winter.
o. M. Packard of Los Angeles, who
recently purchased the Green Mountain
farm on the slopes of the Yucaipe, has
sold the same to V. e. Starner. The
transaction shows Mr. Starner paid
$35 900, which is a clear profit of $4,000
to Mr.. Packard, less the commission.
It consists of 800 acres.

Powell Is Favorite in Betting with
Odds of 10 to 6-Welsh to
Referee the Great
Battle
Associated Pressl

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2S.-Sport-
ing circles are taking an unusual in
terest in the fight between Lew Powell
and Ad Wolgast, which will take place
tomorrow night in this city and the
betting is livelier than has been the
case with any match of recent date.
Powell was a 10 to 6 favorite tonight
but there was more than little VOL
CAST money in sight and it seemed
likely that the odds might even up.
The fight is scheduled for twenty
rounds, the men weighing in at 1873
pounds at 6 o'clock. Jack Welsh will
referee and the fighters will divide a
$4,000 purse, the winner taking 60 per
cent. the loser 40 per cent. 1t is gem
orally believed that the winner of this
fight will be matched with Battling
Nelson, the lightweight champion.
Both fighters look to be i'm splendid
physical condition. They are believed
to have trained faithfully and if ap-
pearance counts for anything, are in
shape to put up a great fight.

BAKERSFIELD, Cal. Nov. 2S.-The
Los Angeles excurslonists passed the
third and last day of their outing at
the oil fields of Sunset and Midway,
returning to Bakersfield at dark to
again partake of the hospitality of the
big minded and generous hearted men
of Kern county. Los Angeles money
was accepted for nothing at the Ba-
kersfleld club and an attempt on the
part of the Sierra Madre club to en-
tertain at the Southern was nipped in
the bud.
The day in the fields was perhaps
the most satisfactory of the three for
the reason that there was plenty of
time and such able guides as c. A.
Garfield. Col. Tim Spellacy, Tom
O'Donnell, Capt. ]. f. Lucey, Mr..
Danziger, c. j. Berry, John d. Thomp-
son and a host of others to show the
big wells and the rich territory.
The first stop was made at Moron,
where the visitors were taken over
the famous twenty-five hill" on
which are located the Mascot, Twenty
five, Safe, Altoona, Opal, The Big Ter
ritory and Camp of the Standard and
many smaller ones. Mr.. Garfield
pointed out twenty-five wells here
which have an average production of
250 barrels each every twenty-four
hours, from thirty-five acres of ground,
which he declared is the richest piece
of oil acreage which he knows of.
