The proposition fs to dredge, extract and carry away all pre- clous metals from the river bed. The consid- erations are $1 to each ahd 10 per cent of the Pet receipts from the river bed. The names of fhe land owners with whom he has entered into contracts are Mrs. Margaret E, Byrum, iliam ¥., Bach, Andrew Hamm, Fred Hoff. man and H® B. Pentland. The proposition is a Py one, but it has been the ovinion of many for a great mumber of vears that the sands of the river beds will pay to work if the appliances are sufficiently large to engage in the business on an extensive scale. —_——— Verus cures Piles, or §i0 reward.

Note this prl;el HE official visit of Grdnd Ma- tron Mrs. Maud Ella Bowes, of which a local notice appeared on the following day, was one of those pleasant events in the lite of a grand officer, for the attendance was large, the wel- come most cordial and the hospitality most generous. In her review of the work of the officers the grand matron took oc- casion to make special mention of that of the conductress and the assoclate conduct- ress, which was without flaw, The official visit by the grand matron to Mission Chapter on the 11th was marked by the attendance of more than 400 members of the order in the magnifi- cent hall of Mission Masonic Temple. Five candidates were initlated, namely, Captain Clifford, Mr. and Mrs, Stone, Miss Thompson and Mrs. Lawrance. After the meeting there was a banfluo!. at which Samuel M. Shortridge delivered an eto- quent address. Last Wednesday night the‘grand matron paid her official visit to King Solomon Chapter in Franklin Hall, The hall was beautifully decorated with evergreens and flowers. There were present Grand Pa- tron Ernest Woodbury Conant, Grand Secretary Kate Josephine Willats, Asso- clate Grand Matron Ella Ada Miller and Grand Conductress Louise Bugenia Burke. The admirable manner in which the work is done by this chapter’s officers was ex- emplified without flaw by the initiation of Mrs, Haynes and Mrs. Gladwin, and the words of praise that were spoken by the Vistting oficials filled all who took part-in the beautiful ccremony with a pride that is pardonable, as the spoken verdict was Well carned. | After the formal work of the evening there was an adjournment to the banquet hall, where a délicious coila- tion was served by Mrs. Jennie Cava- naugh, assisted by Mrs. Martha Lucille Wrenn, Mrs. Tillie Carpenter, Mrs. Gun- salina, Mrs. Jane Dawson and Mrs. Katz. Patron Harry Baehr was the toastmaster, and he called upon Past Grand Patron John Hatfleld Gray, Past Associate Grand Matron Mrs. Lulu Lucas, Florin L. Jones and Dr. Arthur Hill Millberry. One of the Speakers in complimenting the officers for the work of the evening declared that one degerving to he mentioned above all oth- ers was May Frank O'Keefe, the Martha of the central star. The music during the ceremony of initiation was by Martha Elizabeth Blade, Nellie Augusta Darling and Florence Helen Perkins. Unity Chapter was visited last week by the grand matron. There were present all the elective grand officers except one, who was unavoidably detained. The grand Martha and Pastt Grand Patron Darling re nlso present. wgeulah C‘;mpter ‘will have six candidates to initiate at the next night on which de- grees are to be conferred. The visit of the grand matron and the other grand officers to Oak Leaf Chapter last week was a most pleasant one. All were received with that cordiality for wmcg the chapter is noted. Besides the rand matron there were in attendance he nd patron, associate grand patron, Jonh and Mrs. Tonningsen, patron and ma- tron of California Chapter, and many oth- er visitors. After a pleasing welcome by the matron, Mrs. Salo Beckwith, and pa- tron, Willlam T. Hamilton, three candi- this city.

C, Read, a quartet recently orga- nized and doing much to increase the in- erest in the ceremony of initiation. Mrs. " G. Wright is the organist. A pleasing éature of the evening was the rendition n high artistic style by Alfred Wilkie, tenor, of “‘Hosanna,’’ by Granler, another selection by Miss Johnson and Mr. Camp- bell and a charming number by Howard M. Paw. There were short addresses by the visitors named, Mrs. Johnson and Miss Ada Dalton, after which there was | served a fine banquet in the dining-hall, | which had been elaborately decorated. | The officers were highly complimented for their efficfency. Grand Secretary Mrs. Willats announces that the annual Bastern Star excursion to Highland Srrln‘s. in Lake County, will leave this city on the 25th inst., and that all who are to participate in the pleasant outing will have to give notice at the grand secretary's office not later than to- morrow afternoon. These excursions in the past have been most pleasant, and the number of excurslonists increases year by year. Native Daughters The entertainment and dance that is to be given on next Wednesday night in Na- tive Sons' Hall by Calaveras, the Beauty Parlor of the Native Daughters of the Golden West, promised to be a very en- tertaining function.
