He said there was no feeling OF IN

SONS OF ST. GEORGE

Members of the Sons of st. George,
assembling from Riverside, Pasadena
and Long Beach, held a monster initia-
tion Monday evening. The ceremonies
were conducted by the Riverside drill
team, comprising w. H. Polking-
horne, d. NJ. Borden, Judge F. G. Hall,
DR.. Hudson, j. Hastings, A. Canham,
George Hall and William Schoheld.
After the ceremonies Royal Oak
lodge, the local organization, supplied
refreshments and music. b. Sharp,
past grand president of the order, acted
as chairman and introduced e. Cooper,
grand president, who delivered a short
address promising to visit every lodge
in California and British Columbia
during his administration and compli-
menting the visiting team on its ex-
cellent work. He was followed by w.
H. Polkinghorne. DR.. Hudson of Riv-
erside delivered a humorous recita-
tion on David and Goliah," done up
in Irish. j. Hastings of Riverside
spoke of the respect he had for En-
glishmen of whatever condition, creed
or previous condition of slavery. r.
Bolson of the Pasadena lodge then
played Soldiers Of the King" The
chorus was taken up by the assent bly,
with enthusiasm. Judge Hall of Riv-
erside made interesting remarks
The Petch orchestra Variegated the
eloquence by British-flavored music.
The crowning hit of the evening was
the solos rendered by Brother Weber
of Butte, Mont. He sang two old
familiar melodies as we'll known in
the United States as in England, and
these brought down the house with
Victorian rapture. Then a member
of Royal Oak lodge made a few re-
marks on the advisable policy of
spending the lodge money on the lodge
members and not saving it unduly for
the survivors in after years to
squander. Grand Chaplain Watcher of
Pasadena, a man of few words. but
great financial ability, complmented
the Riverside brothers on their work.
Brother Bailey of Royal Oak lodge
took occasion to express admiration for
the king of England and called for
three cheers for his royal nibs, which
were given with a will.

RAMSEY COMSTOCK
TO MILL ITS ORES
NEW FIFTY-T0N PLANT IS
FINISHED
vail and Is Now on Road to Sue
cessfuI Operation Through
Efforts CT Manager

The Ramsey Comstock Mining COM
pany has completed the installation of
a fifty-ton mill, which is now in oper-
alton. The plant is a monument to the
zeal of Capt. A. II. Mayne, q veteran
mining man of Utah and Nevada, who
has made the Ramsey Comstock a
mine and provided it with reduction
works in spite of adverse circum-
stances.
The camp OF Ramsey is just over
the brow of Mount Davidson from the
famous old Comstoek, and is believed
to be on the same vein system as the
bonanza mines of the camp. Capt,
Mayne was early in the field and se-
cured the best ground to be had. Two
years ago the company began the work
of providing reduction works for the
lower grade ores, but the plans were
interrupted because of a financial up
heaval which upset the finances of Ne
vada. With it's funds exhausted and
the mill but half built, the situation
was anything but encouraging. Capt.
Mayne took personal charge, armed
himself with a shovel, and with the
assistance of his son succeeded in
sorting and shipping two cars of ore,
one of which netted the company $75
and the other $l00 per ton. With the
returns from this ore stoping was in
augurated and work started on the
mill, the final funds for which were
taken from the ore reserves of the
mine
The Ramsey Comstook has been de-
veloped through an incline shaft to a
depth of 500 feet and a large tonnage
of good mill ore blocked out. The
enforced close-down left the mine in
poor shape underground, but this has
been remedied and the property is now
in a position to earn profits.
