HEAVY ORDERS BEING
PLACED FOR PIG IRON
Activity Is Shown i'm Western
New York

NEW YORK, Nov. 13-Buying of
pig iron last week resulted in contracts
for 100000 tons in all districts. In the
east sales were mainly of foundry iron,
but included basic and the total was
10000 tons.
The principal feature of interest was
the activity and frmer feeling in west
ern New York. Buffalo furnaces Sc
cured contracts for about 10000 tons
of gray and malleable iron. About 20,-
900 tons were placed in the Pittsburg
district. The other orders came from
the Ohio and Mississippi valleys and in
the Chicago territory.
Pig iron output has been reduced
24.340 tons annually, and more furn-
aces will blow out in the current month.
Surplus stocks in furnace banks today
are approximately 100000 tons, of
which companies are carrying about
100000 tons.
Orders for finished steel products are
decreasing. Even those for wire have
decreased about 10 per cent since the
first of the month. Operations of the
steel corporation blast furnaces this
week are down to 81 per cent, and steel
mill activities have been reduced to 81
per cent of capacity.

DECISION GIVES WATER
COMPANY RICH LAND
Quincy Mining Corporation To
Hold 6I5 Acres
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

L
SACRAMENTO. Nov. IA decision
granting TO the Quincy mining and
water company about 615 acres of rich
mineral land in Plumas county, the
entry of which government inspectors
contested, was rendered yesterday by
Receiver John Ing of the local United
States land Office.
The mining company had mineral
claims on the land. but the government
inspectors contended that the land was
more valuable as timber land and also
contested the entry on the ground that
$4,000 worth of improvements had not
been made. The decision holds that
the land has been found rich in mineral
and that the company has expended
more than $4,000 in improving 1t, and
there was no evidence of fraud.
Receiver Ing decided the Martha
Westfau case against the government
inspectors also Mrs. Westfall filed a
patent on $50 acres in Mariposa county.
but it was held that she already owned
more than $50 acres of government
lands. The testimony showed that title
to $40 acres stood in her name, but
that the deed was made by her son, who
transferred his property to her to es-
cape creditors, and that she knew moth
ing of the deed.

BIGBUCK WANDERS
into SAN RAFAEL
Children Pursue Deer Through
Streets With Stick and
Stone as Weapons
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

SAN RAFAEL, July 14.-While al
most every hunter in San Rafael has
shouldered his gun and tramped off to
the wilds of northern Marin county for
the opening of deer season tomorrow
it remained for little Willie and Helen
Whitney, aged and respectively. to
pursue the first big buck of the year
In the very center of the town this
morning. Perhaps instinct told the
handsome animal that the entire hunt
ing population had armed itself to the
/ teeth and gone forth in search of him
and others of his kind. While hungry
hounds strained at their leashes to
take up his trail, and brave nimrods
donned cartridge belts and cleaned
their rifles in preparation for his
slaughter. the wise old buck decided
that civilization offered the best pro-
lection
With the town alive with hunting
talk his leisurely entrance caused great
excitement. He wandered slowly down
from the tree grown slopes of VOLTS
hill, crossed the railroad track with
out stepping on the third rail and
trotted calmly up Shaver avenue to
Fourth. street
At o'clock in the morning there
were few people on the street. but the
children of ]. s. Whitney, manager of
a local ice company and a prominent
Spanish American war veteran, saw the
deer approaching from the garden of
their home. The old buck walked up
TO the garden fence and began nibbling
the choicest leaves of an overhanging
rosebush.
From a screen of shrubbery little
Helen and Willie watched him, at first
with fear, but the sentiment soon
turned to indignation when the buck
continued to chew on their mothers
favorite rosebush.
'.Shootr cried Willie. when he could
bear the affront no longer.
The big deer looked up quickly, and
seeing the little children took a final
bite ar the bush and trotted away down
the pavement Helen and Willie gave
pursuit The buck led them at an easy
going trot across vacant lot to Fifth
avenue and through the grounds of the
Mount Tamalpais military academy
The children followed. Willie with
big stick and Helen bringing up the
rear armed with stone. For five
minutes he ambled along as if to tease
the children, and then, tiring of so
peaceful chase, jumped a fence and
disappeared in the direction of the San
Rafael hills.
