The first thing that struck the on
lockers as the members of the COM
pany arrived at the ferry building was
the beauty of the female contingent.
The company is evidently composed of
the pick of Broadway, for it is as dainty
a collection of blonde and brunette
loveliness as one could wish to see.

Was Stolen or Lost

Every important Wells Fargo ex-
press Office in the world has been no.
titled to be on the watch for package
containing $500. which has been miss
ing from the San Francisco Office since
Wednesday morning. The money was
sent Tuesday to the express office by a
local bank to be delivered at Philadel-

was stolen. It may turn up in one of
the two sealed safes that went out
wednesday morning for New York, or
1t may be found in some consignment
OF money to more distant point
Z. Cain. chief of the Wells Fargo de-
tectlve bureau, is of the opinion that
the money was misplaced in the rush
and excitement of the Christmas trade.
The same employees who handled
lhlS money have handled much larger
amounts, said Cain, "and evidently re-

are some places to hear from before
we can decide that the money has been
stolen am of the opinion that it will
appear in some shipment where 1t
should not be. A mistake evidently has
peen made in shipping the package.
Ihat is not uncommon at Christmas
time"
H. Il. Holm, city superintendent of
the express company. expresses the
same opinion. He thinks that the
package has been sent to a wrong sta
ton and will soon be found.
The package passed through the
usual channels here and was thought
TO be ready to send ont. 1t was re-
corded on the books. and all necessary
receipts secured. But when the clerks
checked over prior to dispatching the
package it could not be found.

"POOR" WOMAN'S
ESTATE AWARDED
S67,617 of Estate of Susannah
Moore Goes to Two Nieces
in New York

A fortune of ,s67, ,617, accumulated by
Susannah Moore. who was found dead
December 7. 1908, in a shack at Van
Ness avenue and Chestnut street,
where she had resided in apparent pow
erty. was awarded by Judge Graham
yesterday to Margaret Kane and Mary
Huner, nieces, of New York city. Some
Is or 20 claimants for the estate sprang
up in different parts of the country.
but the real contest was between Mrs.
Kane and Mrs. Huner on the one hand
and Peter E. Moore of Massachusetts
on the other. Moore sent an attorney
from Massachusetts to contest the
claims of the neices, but Judge Graham
ruled that he had not established his
claim of relationship.
Susannah Moore left no will. Some
time after she died spurious will was
mailed to the court by Mrs. Mary E.
Davis, a widow, of Lehmi county.
Idaho, who claimed to be a daughter.
This false will purported to leave the
entire estate to Mrs. Davis. Later the
self-styled daughter admitted that she
was no relative and that she had made
a fictitious claim while not in her
proper mind. She admitted further
that she had made fictitious claim to
other estates
The estate consists of $4,000 in
cash, realty worth about $4,000 and
some securities. Notwithstanding her
possession of this wealth Mrs Moore
lived on charity. While she accepted
aid from some churches she loaned her
money to others at interest. The New
York nieces who inherit the estate
were scarcely acquainted with their
years. They had no idea she was
wealthy until the publication of news
paper accounts of the finding of the
riches.

MINING ACTIVE IN
 THE BRADSHAWS

present force will be materially in
 creased, and the property put on it, former basis of production.
 At the Wildflower group it is now
 in general circulation in the Brad
 shaws that the property never look. ed as attractive and that creation of
 one of the biggest mines in that belt
 is assured, is freely admitted by men of ability who have recently inspect ed it. This property has assumed a deep interest from what has been ae- cOmplished in the past few months and especially so from determine tions given on the 300 foot level. In a winze sunk from this point and in an upraise made, the vein was strong and the values higher than ever known. The Wildflower is one of the oldest mining propositions in that region, and will soon be the center of the largest operating force it has ever had. The condition of this property at the present time is the subject of much comment, and that it is entering its most important era is now believed by men who have ex- amined it at depth.
 The Pacific Copper Mining com pany is attracting more attention at the present time than ever before in its history, and the current feeling is that it has passed the prospect stage and is now one of the coming big mines of the field where it is situated. The new road from liar rington to the camp is ready for traf- fife, and will be utilized in a few months hence by large shipments of new mining machinery, the purpose being to discard the old appliances and to increase the force with double the number of men now employed The company has outlined plan that carries a large expenditure, and will drive their main shaft to a depth of 1000 feet as fast as pos sible. The showing on tine 45O foot level prompted this great undertak- ing. W. V. DeCamp is the consult ing engineer of the company, and is located at the mine.
 While but little. publicity is given the War EagleGladiator development, reports from that camp are favorable of the work that progresses in the long drift to establish the existence of large. ore bodies at the junction of the two veins. Lester Jackson, who is directing this work, believes that within the next three months the task will be finished, and is optimis- tie of solving one of the greatest mineral problems that has ever been in that zone.
 It is reported that the taking over of the Towers mines, on the western 'lOpe ol the DIduShd"S, VIII De CT fected within the next thirty days, MT. Waldron, Colorado operator, having an option on the ground. He las recently visited the place, and is pleased at the showing. He has also ordered a complete equipment of ma ,hinery, which is en route to his amp. He bears an excellent name as mining man.

At no time in the past five years have the districts in the Bradshaw Mountains been so active in mine de- velopment as at prsent and not in many years has there been evident such a universal movement to Oper- ate on lines that carry SO much inter est and consideration in deep mining. In the past three mOntls there seems to have been a general awakening to a realization of the splendid pOssi- bilities of that region, and a keen appreciation of the merits of several properties that are classed in the pioneer location column and limited exploitation
 Prominent in the line of resump- tiOn, that of the Lincoln is regarded as significant. NIT. Miller, who will handle this old time proposition, is expected to arrive from Goldfield. Nev., in the next few weeks, to be- gin a system of development that will carry q heavy outlay of capital and extend into the thorough open ing of that mine and to great depth. A permanent camp will be established and large force of miners employed. The Lincoln is generally regarded in mining circles of that section as a fine piece of mining ground. and with practical methods will prove the wisdom of the investment This MT. Miller is reported to possess, and in Nevada bears an excellent name from years of operation in that state
 Operations have been resumed on the Tiger Gold Company's mines at Harrington, and the mill is also run ming at intervals on ores taken from the new shaft that is being sunk at the mouth of the main tunnel This work is being done preparatory to reaching virgin ground to the north, and which was originally undertaken a few years ago. A. G. Scherer is the resident general manager of the company, and is directing the impor- tant undertaking. The Tiger inter- ests are attracting much attention. and it is believed the operations un- der way are the beginning of new era for that proposition.
 Among the new operators that Al the Mascot group, two miles south of Crown Knig, that of the Superior Nevada Mining company, is attract ing very mucn interest. This prop osition is under the management of H. Ilund, who is personally directing the work. So favorable is the show ing that it is said to be the purpose to erect a mill to treat the output in the near future and to increase the force with a view of reaching heavier production. The company is constructing a new wagon road from the railroad depot, and contemplatesl taking in heavy mining supplies and machinery immediately.
 At the Old Tiger a force of min CTS is employed in development and the showing is said to be promising ] The character of work going on is in stoping, and the yield is said to be In short time the
