North Alblna Push Club Tuesday night decided that tha new park purchased by the Park Board In the W. K. Smith tract, in that portion of the city, should be called the- Grand Central Park. A vote was taken as to what name should be selected, and a great variety was suggested. Among these was one that the park be called Vaughrr-ark. In honor of Councilman W. Vaughn, but this name only received one vote, that of C. L. Daggett The name Grand Central Park seemed to strike the . popular chord and It was voted as the choice of the club, although some considered It Inappropriate and not local In Its application. At this meet 8 k Nta, C. L. Daggett, Charles fye, D. and S. L. Osborn were appointed to solicit funds to aid the Peninsula Rose Festival Association in carrying out its plans at the coming Festival. Heavt Street Work. Heavy work is In progress on East Stark street, which is to be Improved between Bast Twentieth and East Forty-flrst.

The dirt will be used to fill up East Pine street, between East Twentieth and Twenty-first streets, where an Improvement is being made. The Improvement of East Stark ls con sidered the most Important undertaken so far this year on the Bast Side. It is understood that an effort will be made to continue the Improvement on out to West avenue, at Mount Tabor, first by making a street out of It, thus taking It out of the Jurisdiction of the county, and then by starting proceedings in the:ity Coun cil.

"That country has a promising future so far as quartz min ing ls concerned." he said. "I cannot say aa much for the placer mines. In the properties I saw the placer ground was not a gravel formation, such as we have in Sierra County, California, where I have mining interests, but was more In the nature, of quartz erosions. The gold was too fine for profitable placer mining. The district should develop some valuable quartz properties, however." Mr. Thomas has been in the city since Monday, coming here to meet a friend On private business. He will return to Oakland today. He has been a resident of California since 1859 and has engaged In mining ODerationa fnr years. w WOMnOUMlRELESS MRS. Tl. II. TUCKER TO HAVE CHARGE OP STATION.
