Mr.. Perrie informs us that during
recent trip to the mountains near this
town he discovered very peculiar
specimen of the snake family. 1t was
about five feet long, deep scarlet in col
or, and rap so fast that Mr.. Perrie, al
though driving fleet horse, was un-
able to keep pace with it, and had to
give up his attempt to capture it.
Mr.. Lewis Jacobs informs US that the
Bank of San Bernardino is ready to
meet all demands against and con-
duct it's business as usual, not having
been at all affected by the financial cri-

A little cowhiding affair took place
behind the Mint Saloon thic morning.
An individual who had allowed him

hereafter.
From DIR. Fox we learn that work

We have been shown an ola by Mr..

was found by him among the ancient
ruins which abound in portions Of Ar
izona. The ola shows evidence of su-
perior workmanship, the glazing is

whole is as fine specimen of work as
any to be found of modern manufac-
ture. 1t is now in the possession of
Mr.. N. Sloppy of this city.

OFFICE OF, CHARLOTTE CON-
~ solidated Gold Mining CO.-The proper
ty of this Company, after considerable devel-
opment. has yielded returns beyond their ex-
pectations, and every indication thus far
points to a still more valuable result. The
various and reported assays and the result by
arastra proves that there is ore yielding from
$50 to $400 per ton, and the Company feel
themselves Warranted in the statement that
these mines are permanent and valuable
ledges. In view of those facts they have au-
thorized the sale of q very limited amount OF
stock, for working capital, at IS per share.
The development Of the property will inevi-
tably result in the employment OF a number
of men In the district In which they are situ-
ated, and in the end build up a camp Of no
inconsiderable size, the supplies for which
must be drawn from our midst. The Direct
ors feel themselves justified in recommending
this stock to the confidence Of the business
mon as we'll as to the general community of
Los Angeles.
