BLUE JACKET
HAS new BOARD
OF DIRECTORS

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Blue Jacket Mining
company of Round Mountain was
held at their office in the Mills
building in San Francisco, January
A. While President Cushman, who
was reelected, expected that a
number of stockholders would be
present, he did not anticipate such
an enthusiastic meeting; and what
was supposed to be a cold-blooded
business transaction turned into
love feast. 1t is well it did, for
the Blue Jackets are making good
at a rate that is surprising many
of the old timers in the mining
game.
Key Pittman of Tonopah was
elected vice president, and "Bill
Nye' Badger, one of the original
purchasers of the property, secre-
tary. President Cushman tops off
the official list with the additional
hoiOi Vi liCdouIGI.
With the election of the director
ate, composed as it is of some of
the best known men in California.
the Blue Jacket takes its place
in the front rank not only as a
producer, but as one of the best
ofiicered corporations in this state.
Among the directors are E. S.
Simpson, managing editor of the
San Francisco Call, one of the
brightest newspaper men in the
| United States; J. G. Wolfe, the emf
nent mining engineer; a Mr.. Stew
enson of San Francisco, whose
opinions on matters of finance car
ry much weight and G. S. Hill of
Fresno, one of the keenest busi-
ness men of that city and whose
reputation for honesty is well
known. The stockholders can con-
graduate themselves that they have
such a board to look after their
interests, and it is expected under
the new management the method
of handling the property will be
improved upon.
j. A. Buchanan, or Buck" as he
is known throughout the state, was
appointed to take charge of the
property. AS he has always claim
ed the ground is one of the best
holdings in the camp, it is a fore
gone conclusion he will do every
thing in his power to advance the
interests of his company.
At the meeting the question of
granting new leases was also dis
cussed The matter was largely
left to the direction of President
Cushman. Twelve applications are
one file at the present time.

M0TORNIAN, NEVER LATE TO
WORK, HAD 30 CLOCKS

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-For the
first time in thirty years Robert
Willoughby failed to wake up this
morning when his thirty clocks, 81
multaneously setting off a series of
gongs, gave their customary alarms
at O'Clock. He had died in the
night of Bright's disease. Will
loughby was 81 years old and had
been employed as a motorman by
the Third avenue elevated railway.
He never was late to work. The
secret of his punctuality came to
light when his room was inspected
today. Ranged around his bed
were thirty clocks of different size
and make. All struck the same
hour at the same time.
