Thwarting a Chinese Joss Spirit in San Francisco Chinatown
A Chinatown ritual in San Francisco reveals a Chinese society luring and destroying a hostile Joss spirit. The ritual began with a procession through Chinatown, a banquet at the temple, and a bonfire as the priest struck the image with a chib. The Great Joss was appeased, the image burned, and the temple rite concluded with celebratory music.

Angel Wings Mine Tale at Grand Pacific
A speculator asks about the Angel Wings Mine at the Grand Pacific. An old mountaineer recalls hardship, a son and a girl found near death, a child’s quiet kindness, a coffin by a cathedral, and the moment the boy said the girl lay “on an angel's wing.” They namelessly honor the girl by bestowing the mine’s name.
