iEAVER HILL
IMPROMPTU OPEN AIR SHOW IS
PLEASURAHLE TO SOME
TO OTHERS PAINFUL.
Bloody noses and foot races, with
Sheriff Gago appearing as a grand
climax, woro stirring incidents that
diversified the calm of Sunday at the
Beaver Hill mine. Blacksmith Smith
handled and put on the entertain
ment which was a medley of the
'tragic and comic. What is known in
mine parlance as "beno" and other
"wlse as whiskey furnished the inspir
ation for Mr. Smith's open air show.
The how, why and wherefore fol
lows: Sometime since Blacksmith
Smith was Miner Smith. Now know
that Mr. Smith expends equal effort
1n disposing of his tasks during toll
ing hours as when engaged In quaff
ing the social glas3; so It was that
when he was given a partner in the
mines he ousted him because of cer
tain indigent traits which the lat
ter displayed. Minor Smith was then
shoved up to the blacksmith shop
where It was thought his extraordin
ary appetite for work would resujt in
Increased return to the company. All
went well until Superintendent Rus
sell reprimanded Smith for Indulg
ing In liquor during working hours.
Ensued a' foot race, Mr. Russell
pacing Mr. Smith for several rods,
until tho latter became winded,
probably caused by tho weight of an
iron Instrument which he had accl
deutly picked up shortly before the
race. Following the foot race Mr.
Smith's name was erased from the
.payroll. His position in tho black
smith shop was filled by one of the
Swedes around tho mine. Saturday
the Swede's face was worked over by
Smith, the eyes being closed in the
process, due to SmiHi's knuckles.
"Next came a new machinist, who,
"Wishing to see Smith in regard to
where some machinery in the black
smith shop were kept, asked some of
tho miners of his whereabouts. Tho
latter saw a chanco for a joke an J
told Smith the machinist was on Ills
trail and meant business. Conso
quently when the machinist found
Smith nnd asked him if such were
his namo tho latter returned answer
"by breaking the machinist's 1030.
Monday morning Sheriff Gage came
on tho scene but Smith was oik.
From last reports ho was out "ie
entire length of tho Sheriff's sti r.

One-half Interest in the Garfield

purchased Tuesday by J. H. Bridges,
of Reno, Nevada, from tho owner,
Henry Sengstacken, who retains a
half Interest. This property has a
ground area of 45 by 70 feet, and
Is occupied with the four story frame
building known as the Garfield hotel.
The basis of value on which the prop
trey was sold was $25,000.
Although he is a practical hotel
man and at present interested in the
leading hotel of Reno, It is not Mr.
Bridges purpose to personally as
sume charge of the hotel, as he pur
chased tho property solely for invest
ment. Mr. Bridges only recently ar
rived on Coos Bay to investigate its
prospects and possibilities and this
transaction may be taken as good
evidence that he has been favorably
impressed with this section. He has

over tho active operation of the new
hotel when completed.
