Code, the former famous | Stanford quarterback, now assistant su- | perintendernt of the Dean mine at Dean, | Nevada, came down from the mines Fri day for the Christmas season. He reports . a strike in the Dean properties that gives promise of making a second Comstock of them and which has caused the greatest | excitement in that region. H Walter E. Dean, owner of the Morning | Star mine at Dean, a year ago purchased { the Pittsburg and London Consolidated mines from the English syndlcate that | had operated them at a loss for some wears. A long tungel was built through the mountain to connect the two mines, whose mouths were two miles apart, and in that process a new ledge was discov- ered, bearing high-grade ore. In six months the new property has more than paiG for itself. A ¥ast amount of rich cre is in sight and a lower tunnel is be- | ing run which will tap the mountain 500 feet below the present level and it is | believed it will uncover still greater | riches. i —_—— Bervian-Montenegrin Society.

This procedure is in line with a custom that has grown into favor within the last few years of simpli- fying the ceremonieson Christmas so that the worshipers may have an opportunity of passing the day of days in the sanctity of their own homes. It has also been found that the attendance and apprecia- tion are greater upon the Sabbath than if the lengthy service were held upon the actual holiday, when nearly every one de- sires to spend the hours within the family circle. A glance at the programmes to be pre- sented at the various houses of worship will convince any cne that the services will be well worth hearing fn any of the churches, not only from a religlous stand- point, but also as an exposition of musical art, which has never been equaled on a similar occasion in this city. A great many of the churches will offer | additional musical features on Christmas day, the particulars of which will be pub- lished before the arrival of the holiday.

CITIZENS PLAN VST RESERVOIR Waters Are Soon to Be Conserved in Walker Valley. Special Dispatch to The Call UKIAH, Dec. 20.—An enterprise of vast importance to Mendocino County in gen- eral and this city, the county seat, in par- ticular, has been undertaken by a number of residents and will be carried to com- pletion at an early date. The project is none other than the bonding of the ‘Walker Valley ranch, with the intention of placing a dam at the lower end of that valley and conserving and storing the wa- ters of an immense tract of land. The ranch consists of over 10,000 acres and its natural conformation makes it easily the best property for this purpose in the en- tirg State. e valley begins with a gradual slope at the head and inclines to a depth of be- tween seventy-five-and one hundred feet at the lower end where the dam will be constructed. This will form a reservoir several miles in length and a width vary- ing from one-quarter to three-quarters of a mile. Capable engineers who have in- vestigated the matter have estimated that a thousand horsepower can be generated every day in the year for the purpose of supplying electric light and power to that section of the country. The power house will be situated at a sufficient elevation above Ukiah Valley to take the water after the power has been generated and irrigate the entire area. The level lands and the bottom lands along the river bot- toms will be irrigated from the waters. The project will be of sufficient magni- tude to supply light and power to Uklah and vicinity for many years to come, and this will especially facilitate the estab- lishment of creameries, which are “badly needed here at the present time. Among those most prominently identified in the enterprise are W. P. Thomas, H. B. Muir, R. E. Donohoe and John McMux‘ry, all of “‘Adoration,” soprano solo, male chorus; “Adeste Fideles.” Corpus Christi Church. High mass at 5:30 a. m.; other masses at 7, 8, 8:30, 9:30, to be fullowed by solemn high mass at 10:30 a. m., at which Father Borghino, superior of the Salicians, will preach the sermon.
