Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-04-23

one of the hotels of this city, while
coming up from Santa Monica, was
conversing with passenger and while
talking with him was approached by
the conductor and informed that he
had no right to talk to passengers on
the train. The hotel proprietor was
not travelling on the train free as ho-
tel runner, but as a passenger, having
purchased ticket for the round trip,
paying therefor one dollar and half.
The party to whom he was talking
was an old boarder of his house, and
did not need soliciting to go there
again. 1t appears the Santa Monica
railroad company have farmed out the
right to solicit baggage on ther trains
to one person, who charges for the de-
livery of the baggage, while the hotels,
or at least some of them, carry bag
gage from the depot to the house free
of charge. Travellers over this road
will understand the situation here
after.
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S office, in this city
was the centre of attraction yester-
day, caused by the arrival of fifteen
immense bars of silver and gold bull
lion, en- route for San Francisco. They
were beautiful bricks of shining met
al. Nine of them were from the Ivan
pah Company's works in Clark dis
trict, San Bernardino county, and
were valued at about $4,000 The
other six bars were from the celebrat-
ed McCracken Mine in Arizona, and
valued at about $4,000. Messenger
Chips started for San Francisco in the
afternoon on the Orizaba, with this
metallic evidence of the solvency of
Southern California and Arizona.
These mines it is said will equal those
of Nevada in their yield during the
coming Summer. If so we may look
for lively times and brisk trade from
that quarter.
