But Billiken was a business

And Davy McKee's volatile mind

boring, hooking, torturing him.

artistic 1909 catalogues of the
MaXwell-BriScoe company is be-
ing handed out like hot cakes from
the handsome Maxwell booth, the cars
exhibited attracting an attention on
the part of the visitors not accorded to
many other cars on display which are
catalogued at fancy prices. The Max
we'll is enjoying it's sixth year and
from its three immense plants, en-
ploying nearly 5000 men, is this year
turning out the immense total of 5000
cars.
The reason for the Maxwell,s de-
served popularity is outlined in the
catalogue in brief description of the
care and pains devoted to each of the
parts from which the car is assembled.
Among other things pointed out the
catalogue says:
cars is the best. All cylinders are first
picked and annealed, after which
they are bored and ground.
Cylinders, pistons, piston rings,
valve stems and crankshafts are all

callers at the booth of the Los Angeles

guard of the race from start to finish
and the very surprising result was that
of the first three cars to finish two OF
them were the LocOmobile entries.
Standing alongside of this famous
racer is an elegant LocomObile modCi

features are lost in the handsome lines

of the shaft drive principle in place of
the chain drive, and this new feature is
expected to make the Locomobile one
of the seasons biggest auto successes

OFFICIAL MUM
While Things Are Doing Mana
ger George E. Gum has
Nothing to Say.

George f. Gum, general manager OF
the Mason Valley Mining COmDany's prop
critics. returned from the east Thursday
night and was at his offices again yes
terdsy morning for the first time IN
several weeks. Mr.. Gum stated that qUes-
lions had arisen that would delay the
rounding out of the Mason Valley com
panys affairs for an indefinite time;
whether it would be few days, a few
weeks, OF a few months, he could not
say. He declined TO enter into discus
sion of what il was that was holding
things up by simply stating that 1t was
impossible for him 10 say anything at TINS
time.
Ever since il became known that Henry
Crumb. the prominent mining engineer,
was making a thorough examination OF
the Mason Valley properties, with the IN
timation that other mines in the camp
were also being checked up. the i'm
preston has been gaining ground locally
at least, that some sort OF big merger
or consolidation scheme vas brewing. ~
has also been rumOred that powerful inter
ests in the cOpper-prOducing world, other
than those which control the Mason Val
ley. the Nevada Douglas and others. are
sparring for control Of different groups
Of properties, so the situation IS believed
to have become so intricately involved
that it is likely TO require a battle OF
financial giants TO determine just what
is to happen before the atmosSere Is
cleared
In the meantime it is not believed that
anybody's interests in the camp and the
big mines of the camp can suffer in the
least. unless il be through the unexpected
wait Mammoth deals are not rounded
out and pulled off in a minute, so that
owners of Mason Valley shares, along
with the rest may have to wait awhile
to get the best results from their invest
ment. but IL the signs are correctly IN
terpreted there IS no occasion 10 worry.
