A Large lawsuit.

The Riverside people have had seii-
Gus falling out with the Riverside Canal
Company, The Company, represented
by its President, Mr.. s. c. Evans, has
sued the whole population Of Riverside
that use water, and quite large part of
the population still use that fluid in
various ways. The Board of Supervisors
and the Board of City Trustees are also
included in the complaint. The number
of defendants are counted by hundreds,
and the case is one of colossal proper
tions. Mr.. Evans states that the canals
cost him s226, 600, and that he should
have | ! per cent per month interest on
$50, 900 of that sum, and s per cent per
annum on $780, 900 Of the amount. Then
he wants $4,000 annually for running
expenses, and $4,000 for mending breaks,
so that the sum total OF his receipts
from the dear people annually would be
S45, ,0s0, a salary nearly equal to that of
the President of the United States.
1t is needless te say that the people of
Riverside are indignant and defiant.
They will employ counsel and contest
the suit to the bitter end. The present
rate for the use of water in Riverside
was fixed by the Board Of County Super
visors before atsettlement adopteda city
government, and set at u cts. per inch
for day and night water This rate, it
is stated. yields $4,000, just one-third
of the amount demanded by President
Evans; so il the people accede to his
demands they will have to treble their
present rates, which would be an extor-
tionate price. IT is no wonder that the
people are determined to contest the
matter in the Courts 1t will be fine
field for lawyers, and promises to be a
long contest.
Next year the City Board of Trustees
will make the water rates, and probably
conduct the suit for all defendants. In
the meantime the question arises wheth-
er the people can be enioined from using
the water. except at the increased rate
required by Mr.. Evans, or whether Mr..
Evans can be enjoined from interfering
with the water flow or with the rates
established by the Supervisors of the
county.
The good people OF Riverside now see
the weakness of their plan of water dis
tribution. 1t contains wheel within
wheel, and they do not run smoothly.
If they will adopt the system like that
at Pasadena, Lake Vineyard, Alhambra,
Ontario, Hermosa and Etiwanda, and
give the people an ownership in the
watcr-right corresponding to their own
ership in the land there will be no water
company to contend with. One of the
Riversiders, Mr.. James Roach, has sunk
an artesian well which brings the water
within four feet Of the surface. He can
be his own water company hereafter.
This success of Mr.. Roach will induce
others to do likewise. and scatter wells
over the dry plains about Riverside, so
it may be that this suit will be the
means Of evokiug independent enter
prise. and tho development of water
supplies that otherwise would have re-
NAMED undeveloped for an age. Let us
hope so.

The copper Boom.

The citizens of Los Angeles are deep
ly interested in the development of the
mineral region of California and Arizona.
A few days since tho HERALD published
description of the Ray copper mine,
that attracted much attention. A later
report from tho Tucson Star of the 2lst
says:
As developments progress the extent
and richness Of the properties are re-
ported fabulous. Colonel Haskell, one
Of the cold-nosed mining men, made an
examination for the company a short
time ago, and is credited by an eastern
exchange as stating in his report:
Language can scarcely express the inn
preston made upon my mind when
first behold the mineral outcrop Of these
mines. In all my experience l had seen
nothing comparable to it. The ledge or
deposit Is literally towering 100 feet
above the surrounding level, the whole
mass copper-stained and impregnated
with mineral, which fully prepared me
for the subsequent facts presented as to
the positive value OF these properties,
as shown by q careful exploration Of the
various openings upon the several prop.
critics" The Ray copper mines are oil
tributary to this point being located on
the San Pedro, about seventy miles
northeasterly. The completion Of the
narrow gauge to the San Pedro will give
quick and cheap transportation 10 thai
whole section Of country, which is liter.
ally covered with copper and Other
minerals. Then we predict the Ray
copper mines will show up as the great
est copper producer Of the United States,

Petroleum Exports.

The shipments of petroleum from San
Francisco for the eight months ending
with Aug. 3lst was only 81, 800 gallons,
showing that home consumption absorbs
our production besides q vast amount
that comes from Pennsylvania. At the
same time there were shipped from the
eastern ports 344, $50. 900 gallons, valued
at $50, GAG, 900.
The California petroleum field is as
large as that in Pennsylvania, New
York and Ohio, all put together, and the
task before the people of California now
is to equal the eastern side of the conti-
nent in the production Of this enormous
quantity of oil. 1t can be done in few
years by resolute and constant energy,
and bring millions of wealth to our State
and city.
