LOWELL SCHOOL |MINING CAMP UPON DESERT PUPILS APPEAR AS MINSTRELS in the way of amateur performance given in the city in some time was that of the The neatest entertainment Lowell School at the Girls’ High School last night. A negro minstrel show was the attraction and all the melodies vec- essary to a successful performance were warbled. Four end men kept the audience of 600 in laughter and encores were the order of the evening as the result of their jokes. Nine solos, with the customary cho- rus, were sung and each was applaud- ed to the echo, “Rags,” sung by Vigtor Pollak, was so captivating that the au- dlence did not wish him to quit, but Clarence Coleman as ‘‘coach” called time and the finale was rendered by the entire company. iy At DEAF PUPILS ENTERTAIN. Children Once Considered Speechless Show Successful Result of Training. The deaf children of the Harrison School, Grove street, ‘near Larkla, gave an entertainment yesterday af- ternoon, which was extremely clever and also gave those who attended the privilege of noting the remarkable re- sults of a great system of teaching “how to speak.” Children who had been considered dumb proved by their ability to talk that the patient labor of Mrs. J. B. Holden, Miss M. L Smith, Miss N. M. Applegarth and A. N. Holden has been well and wonderfully rewarded. Those who as yet are unable to speak have been given the power of follow- ing and interpreting a conversation by the movement of the lips. The children appeared in sketches called ‘“Mother Goose Party” and “May Day Festival” and the excellent training was made evident by the quick perception and keen intelli- gence and alertness of each child. Mrs. Holden sald yesterday that the school during its three years' exist- ence had done useful work among the deaf. She paid a high compliment to the parents of the children for their co-operation in the work. She par- ticularly impressed upon the parents present the necessity to talk to their deaf children -in complete sentences during the vacation. There is no need for a child to be speechless, said Mrs. Holden, only when the organ of speech is paralyzed or diseased. Otherwise deaf children can be taught to speak. The principal and her assistants were congratulated by many a thank- ful mother at the close of the enter- tainment. Mission High School Graduates Elect Officers and Join in Dance. The fifth annual reunion of the Mis- sion High School Alumni Association took place in the gymnasium last night. Twenty-four new members were added. The following were elected as officers to serve for the ensulng year: President, Jerome White; first vice president, Miss Lottie Kilgore; second vice president, Miss Gertrude Brenna secretary, Dwight Clark; treasurer, Edward Graff, and trustee, to serve three years, Eugene Hackett. A social dance brought the meeting to a close. There were about 250 pros- ent, nearly all of whom joined in the terpsichorean delights. BOYS' AND GIRLS’ HOME GIVES MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT Programme Is Carried Out to Demon- strate What Is Being Done for Unfortunates. Toodles and Me were at the Boys' and Girls' Aid Soclety last night, and they gave the inmates more fun than they have had in years, and at the same time convulsed the audiende with laughter. The boys of the home are all trying to become good citizens, but they know a thing of two about the seamy side of life, yet when they are given a chance, as they were last night, to portray that seamy side, they can do - it to perfection—and they did.

It il- lustrates the vitality that there is in a California mining camp that has really any value in it. A part of the Miner’'s story is as follows: One year ago next Saturday the last disas- trous fire oce in Randsburg. This was the third time :’:e fl\:‘r‘er portion of the town | was destroyed and it looked discour- | aging. The strike coming imi ely after paralyzed everything, all work being shut down for some months. The mines vet remained and their value could not be destroyed. The old residents and mine owners took courage, new and safer houses were built, many men took leases and went to work, To-day the outlook is again bright and the future of the camp ig assured. The Yellow Aster, the principal mine here, is working a full force, both their mills are running and they have more men on their pay roll than ever before. Their thirty- stamp mill was closed down & few days for necessary repalrs, a new cable was bent, and other repairs made, but it was only idle & few days gnd s now running. The Butte Lode, under, the m: ment of Superintendent McMahon, is making its usual millings with about the same resuits, and Is prosperous. . Nearly or quite all the other principal mines in the district are working a tull force and doing well; the Baltie, Stanford, Sunshine and others. ‘The White brothers are developing a property about seven miles south- west of Randsburg, and, taken altogether, the mining prospeet is good. In the town are many new and costly build- inge. With untold wealth beneath the surface, only awaiting the pick and shovel of the miner to develop it, Randsburg will soon again be re- buflt, the camp being without guestion the richést in Southern California. We have ways had a superior class of miners and citi- zens here, and while not so well acquainted as formerly, from what we have observed in the past few days we believe the same is true to- day. It only needs united effort to put Rands- burg thoroughly upon her feet. ALASKA COAL MINES. The provisions of the law passed by Congress at its last session relative to the taking of coal lands in Alaska are as follows: Any person or association of persons qualified to make entry under the coal land laws of the United States, who shall have opened or im- proved a coal mine or coal mines in any of the unsurveyed public lands of the United States in the district of Alaska, may locate the lands upon which such mine or mines are eituated in rectangular tracts containing 40, 80 or 160 acres, with north and south boundary lines run according to the true meridian by marking the four corners thereof with perma- nent monuments, so that the boundaries may be readily and eaMly traced. And all such lo- cators shall, within one year from the passage of this act, or within one year from making such location, file for record in the recording dis- trict, apd with the register and receiver of the land’ didtrict in which the lands are lucated or situated, a notice containing the name or names of the locator or locators, the date of the location, the description of the lands lo- cated and a reference to such natural objects or permanent monuments a: will readily iden- tify, the same. Stich locator or locators, who are citizens of the United States, shall receive & patent to the lands located by presenting, at any time within three years from the date of such notice, to the register and receiver of the land district In which the lands 8o located are situated, an ap- plication therefor, accompanied by a certified copy of a plat of survey and fleld notes thereof, made by a United States deputy surveyor or a United States mineral surveyor duly approved by the Surveyor General for the district of Alaska, and a payment of the sum of $10 per acre for the lands applied for; but no such ap- plication shall be allowed until after the appli- cant has caused a notice of the presentation therefor, embracing a deseription of the lands, to have been published in a newspaper in the district of Alaska published nearest the loca- tion of the premises for a pericd of sixty days, and shall have caused copies of such notice, to- ther with a certified copy of the official plat | or survey, to have been kept posted in a con- splcuous place upon the land applied for and in the land office for the district in which the lands are located for a like period, and until after he shall have furnished proof of such publication and posting. and such other proof as Is required by the coal land laws, pro- vided that nothing hereln contained shall be so construed as to authorize entries to be made or title to be acquired to the shore of any navigable waters within sald district. During the period of posting and publica- tion, or within six months thereafter, any per- 20n or association of persons having or asseriing any adverse interest or clalm to the tract of land or any part thereof sought to be pur- chased shall file in the land office where such application is pending, under oath, an adverse claim, setting forth the nature and extent thereof, and such adverse claimant shall, with- in sixty days after the filing of such adverse claim, begin an action to quiet title in a court of competent jurisdiction within the district of Alaska, and thereafter no patent shall issue for such ciaim until the final adjudication of the rights of the parties, and such patent shall then be issued in conformity, with the final decree of such court therein, All_the provisions of the coal land laws of the United States not In conflict with the pro- visions of this act shall continue and be in full force in the district of Alaska. San Joaquin County is interested in a home gold mining proposition. From the eastern boundary of San Joaquin the Mokelumne River has gold bearing sand for a considerable distance down stream. The great difficulty has been to get at the deeper anl richer depos- its. At Jenny Lind a dredger has been delving for gold for some time. The twenty-stamp mill of the El Rico mine in Tuolumne County, two miles northwest of Tuttletown, is about ready to operate. The owners of the Keystone mine, near Amador City, will erect a mill of MANIFESTS OLD TIME PLUCK Thrice Destroyed by Fire and Injured by Prolonged Strike, Randsburg Thrives Among Difficulties-—-Low Grade Ores Yield Good Returns When Wisely Handled P bond, the Masonic Bar hydraulic mine to Edwin L. Hyatt and L. H. Cornell. | The Shasta Courier reports some movement among the miners near Old Shasta. Clear Creek is a quiet camp, but all that is needed is capital to de- velop the properties. The Mount Shasta mine remains closed. Just to the west of this mine are the Pugh and Menzel groups of mines and to the north is the Keno group. On the Menzel group development work Is being performed. The Courier says: Above and northwest Parmley, Gladwin and othersfare hard at work on the Mountain Lion mine. This group embraces a number of lodes and is part of a system of high grade ledges. On the Shasta side Barly - brothers are driving their tunnel Into the hill on a good prospect. The Oro Fino, gyned by Bekrens, also adjoining the Mouril Shasta, has ore in sight. —Beaumont is driving ahead on the old Bouk mine. West of Clear Creek Dickey is pushing work on his tunnel. He is in over 800 feet. Farther west lies the Con- ners group. Negotiations for a sale of this mine are pending. = The Spanish at Lower Springs is closed down. Superintendent Davis was transferred by Manager Newcomb to the Punch Creek group recently secured by the company. The mine, which ls west of Yreka, is under the direction of H. C. Davis. About fifteen men are employed. The Spanish is receiving timbers, however, indicating a re- sumption of work here latér on. The Crown Deep is shipping ore to the smeiter. The Wiser boys are opening up a big mine on the old Muchmore claim. In the creek below you can pick up plenty of quartz showing gold. James Sallee has taken & bond on the Reld mine at Old Diggings. AN ODD SITUATION. An odd situation affecting ofl men in Nevada has arisen. It grows out of somewhat novel conditions. The case is stated by the Mining and Sci- entific Press as follows: An_interesting situation has developed In the recently discovered ofl flelds in the Car- son sink, Churchill County, Nevada. Pros- pectors, quickly following the discovery of oll, located a large area of the adjacent lands under the placer location act, as provided by law. The hydrographic branch of the United | States Geological Survey is engaged in ex- | tensive reclamation of desert lands. This is | the outgrowth of the investigations made du ing the early years of the survey, when under the direction of J. W. Powell. These projects are located throughout the Western States The lands which it is intended to reclaim by irrigation methods have been withdrawn from all entry except under the homestead act, it being the. desire of the Government that these lands be taken up in small farming tracts, not exceeding 160 acres for each person who may make such entry, and the tract in Nevada where oil was recently discovered chances to Dbe within one of these reclamation areas. As the value of the land for the ofl it may pro- duce is unknown, and as without irrigation it is practically valueless for any other pur- pose, the Government may possibly make an exception in this case and allow the original locators to hold their ofl claims, for it seems unjust that the original claimants should be dispossessed of their locations of twenty acres each in favor of later locators appropriating 160 acres each, and who at their option may | also bore for ofl. Notices have been posted | Informing ofl locators that the land is not bject to location in any manner other than as homestead tracts, Shriners Go to Visalia.

The meeting will be held at the headquarters of the California Promo- tion Committee and will be for the purpose of taking steps for immediate work at St. Louis to get conventions that are being held there now for this coast in 1905. Mr. Richardson says: There is no good reason why all the com- mercial organizations in the cities from the Rocky Mountains west should not unite in the effort to secure for Pacific Coast cities for 1906 the convention held this year in St. Louls, and. the conference held. here under the aus- pices of the Callfornia Promotion Committes cannot be otherwise than beneficial. Portland is especially Interested, for next year she expects and {s prepared to receive and entertain an enormous travel which will come there to attend the Lewis and Clark Centen- nlal Exposition—one of the most beautiful and exhaustive displays ever presented on Amier- ican soil. The total cost of this exposition will_exceed five millions of dollars. This exposition will be well worthy of the entire Pacific Coast, and it is hoped by the people ‘of Portland of San Francisco upon it as a bome show, for It is just as vital to San Francisco as it is to Portland that the exposition should be a success. That it wiil be creditable and a superb presentation is assured, for the money is already In hand to carry out the complete undertaking on a cash basis. Portland and Oregon displayed mar- velous enterprise and splendid liberality in putting up one million dollars with less effort Iike um before. The truth of the matter is, Port- d financed this great enterprise in t days. and the entire citizenship of the city a State have determined that it shall be & suc- cess. and even the school boys and girls of Portland are making it their duty and pleas- ure to advertise the event San Francisco, while already a great city, has a career before her which will be the mar- vel of the world, for on time je not far distant when th rise the third city in the United States, and Oregon i just as much San Francisco territory as s the State of Calffornia. Our people would even Iike to see San Francisco become greater than New York, for we realize that as San Fran- cisco and California grow Portland and Ore- gon will respond with equal strides. and the chief eity at the junction of the Willametts and Columbia will share in any prosperity that comes to the Pacific Coast to receive cisco and Cal with that assurance as a foundation they will give an exposition of whiel ern portiop but the entire United be proud.
