ORANGE BLOSSOM MINE
IS SOLD FOR s23,G38
Doubtful Property Recovered by
Original Promoter to Prove
Its ProductiVeneSS

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 21.-John
Denair. the original promoter of the
Orange Blossom mine, into which local
people poured thousands of dollars
only to loose everything, has come to
his own. He has purchased outright
the entire holding of the company,
which for over a year figured in litiga-
ton. The price paid for the property,
clear of all incumbrance, was $23, 3,63S ,SS.
Several hundred thousand dollars were
invested in the project by the friends
of Denair three years ago. The deed
transferring title from F. C. Delano,
as trustee in bankruptcy, to Mr.. De-
nair was filed here, having been exc
cuted on authority of Lynn Helm,
referee in bankruptcy.
Local stockholders in the company
received the latest move of Denair with
surprise, although ever since the crash
which carried before 1t all the vivid
prospects visioned by those who had
sunk their money in the project Denair
has been endeavoring to secure title
to make good, he says, his claims for
wealth of the property.
1t is understood that Denair will at
tempt to start the development work
in the mine. The price paid for the
property is sufficient to pay off all
claims.
Denair is now the sole owner, the
sale wiping out the accounts of the
other stockholders.

AN UNEXPECTED ECHO

'Tt occurs to me that there is great
wasted opportunity for yodeling here, .
observed D. while we were exploring
the hills in the Loon lake neighbor-
hood Of the Adirondacks. "You see the
sides of the mountains run down in
deep ravines and that ought to produce
an echo that would repeat itself good
many times"
"Why not yell something and see?"
suggested.
d. made a trumpet of his hands and
shouted: "Hallool Who are your" The
echo truly was very gratifying, coming
back from crag and gully, 100, are
you--are you-are-you?"
That's fine" exclaimed d. delighted
with his success. He tried it again.
"HaIloot Who are you?"
A louder and far less melodious voice
than those of the echoes came roaring
back:
''None o. yer darned business; who
are you, I'd like to know?"
Startled, we turned our gaze in the
direction the Interpolation" came from
and saw lank, tanned mountaineer
in a tapping felt hat, sitting astride
the body of a heavy wagon from which
the box had been removed, attached TO
a team of mules. He was driving
along the road across the ravine, and
although we hadn't observed him
among the trees, he thought we were
addressing our vocifeFous inquiries to
him.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

reetion of few minor faults, such as over
eagerness to get away with the ball, should
prove the best baek-held man Of the local

Hall, two crackerjack halves. The line is not
yet playing up to the standard Of the back
field, the principal trouble being tendency
to play high, and through this defect tho
preps have been making all their gains against
the varsity in practice contests. However, tha
team has shown a decided improvement in
this respect during the past week, and should
be down to real playing form by November
5, when the first intercollegiate game is plsyeG
with the Occidental Tigers Bovard field.

houses promiscuously last winter and
who in almost every case ransacked
the premises while members of the
household were in other rooms. He
nearly always left without taking any
thing or else carried off some article
of trivial value. Some of the depre-
dations this season laid to the door of
the variety burglar are the stealing OF

Be a Basal Fracture of
the Skull

PASADENA, Oct. Pup to a late
hour last night Miss Lucy Dunn, aged
10 years. daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Dunn, 314 Palm avenue, South
Pasadena, was reported to be semi
conscious in the Pasadena hospital as
result of injuries received yester-
day morning when struck by a north
bound Pacific Electric car on the Ostrich
Farm line. According to reports the
little one was crossing the tracks at
Palm avenue on the way to school and
the motorman was unable to stop the
car on account Of a down grade.

sufficient to trip the device and she
rolled off. Her skirt caught in the
fender and she was dragged for a
considerable distance. The motorman
placed the injured girl aboard his car
and brought her to the hospital here,
carrying her from the car line to the

GIaring Shortcomings

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 21.-Partic-
uIars are published of the great work
of reorganization of the Russian army
which has been going on ever since the
Russo-Japanese war showed up the
most glaring shortcomings in the sys-
tenn of army administration. BY the
new order the general STAFF centraltzes
for all arms all questions of active
operations, military statistics, 1ntelli-
gence, fortresses. organization, dispo-
sition of troops, military and general
education in the army, mobilization,
communications, topography and mil
itary science. The general staff will
deal with the above questions for the
whole army, and will be divided into
the following departments: Quarter
master generals, military buildings,
organization, mobilization, commune
cations and military topography The
headquarters staff will have three de-
partments, general, pension and Cos
sacks, subdivided as may be necessary.
The reform will unity throughout
the Russian army practices and GUS
toms which hitherto have been de-
pendent upon the individual opinions
of the chiefs of artillery, the engi-
neers, the notorious "fntendantstVo,
or army supplies department, etc, VINO
in all dealings with these arms were
Independent of the headquarters staff,
which supervised and administered the
affairs of cavalry and infantry arms
only Thus the question Of promotion
was dealt with differently In different
arms, and abuses, small and great,
were not unknown. With this attempt
at the unifcation Of the army admin
istration it is expected to put the
Russian army on a level with con-
tinental armies in the matter Of organ
