holders got eight times what they in
vested for the stock of these seventeen
mines. Mining is as legitimate as any
other business and as carried on in
Southern California is the most profit.
able Of all other kind Of business.
Take the Calico mines, the Provi-
dence Mountain mines, the Lava Beds,
the Copper Queen, the Clifton Copper
and the Tombstone mines, and "the sue
cess has been phenomenal" the people
say.
There is nothing phenomenal about
these mines. They are merely carried on
by business men to make money for the
owners, and that is the secret of their
rich success.
The people of lis Angeles aud San
Bernardino are il t,rested largely in
mining, and in o leg tima'e manner to
make money out Of the mines and not
out Of the public ly initiating stocks and
then unloading them. A hort line ago
the HERALD had I'll article on the Casa
Grande copper mine that attracted pu'-
lie attention. A portion of the stock was
offered at hard pan prices to pay for
smelters, and at once taken and the good
work of Development will move right
onward to success.
The Copper Mountain Mining Com
pany, of Los Angeles, is pursuing the
same course with regard to their rich
mine on the Colorado. The company is
made up of the business men o. this city
and they are determined to make min.
ing, not stock initiating pay. They
are selling off q small amount Of
stock at hard pan prices and keep
the rest themselves. Part of this has
been taken by our merchants, and it
appears that the balance will be taken i'll
few days. When the railways become
sound again so that freight and travel
are unobstructed, the work of making
copper bullion will begin and smart
Los Angeles trading post will be estab-
lished at the furnaces on the bank of the
| Colorado.
The owners of the mine are to be con-
graduated on their brilliant prospects
and their good judgment in managing
their affairs so prudently. Mr.. George
J. Denis, the legal adviser Of the CON-
pany, is placing the balance of the stock
among the solid business men of the
city and can give full information about
the same.
The assays from the six mines show
81 per cent. of pure copper, besides
enough silver and gold to pay for smelt-
ing. Twenty one per cent. of copper
makes 420 pounds per ton, which is
worth from twelve to fourteen cent s per
pound, making over $50 per ton. These
facts speak for themselves, and show
the great richness of the mines of ouI
home company. What more need be
said on such a question

With Tons of Gold.
New York Sun,

Trucks loaded with well-dressed ;ncn
rolled up West street at intervals yes
terday morning, and disappeared on the
covered pier OF the Cunard Steamship
Company at the foot of Clarkson street.
Besides the men, the trncks carried
small kegs and iron.bouud boxes, which
were unloaded on the pier alongside of
tho steamship Servia, which sailed in
the afternoon. The men carefully car
ried the kegs and boxes to the after
part of the vessel, where they were
locked in an iron chamber. The kegs
und boxes held 80, $50, 600 worth OF gold,
which was going to Europe. On the
steamship Baltic 81, $50 600 in gold coin
was shipping.
The gold was in the form OF bars and
double eagles, and WAS the largest
amount shipped on single day in sew
eral years. The double eagles were de-
livered in canvas bags, each holding
5000. The bar, which are worth
anywhere between 81 900 and $1,000
each, were packed in sawdust in wooden
boxes.
The little kegs and iron.bound boxes
stored in the ''treasure room" on the Ser
via were forty all told, and were counted
by the purser and all the officers before
tho large iron door was closed and
locked The purser has the money in
his especial care. The storing of so
much wealth in the Servia created no
particular stir.
at is not unusual for us to receive on
board large amounts OF gold" said a
clerk at the wharf. I've carry more or
less on every trip
"What precautions are taken against
robbery ~
In the first place the treasure room
is OF iron and is as strong as any bank
safe. II has complicated locks, and no
cracksmen, no matter how clever they
were, could get into it inside of week !"
is it especially guarded during the
trip"
'Nes, it is thoroughly looked after
| The purser and officers thoroughly in-
spect it three times Il day and three
times at night"
"Was the Servia's treasure chamber
ever broken into?'
''Ncver; and no one ever tried to
break into it. Anyway, ii thieves did
get in, they could not carry away the
| gold, for it is too heavy. The gold in
those forty kegs and boxes weighs close
to %, 600 pounds"
a weather beaten man, with droop-
ing eye-lid, who had been listening,
tapped the reporter ON the shoulder as
he was leaving the wharf.
''Houng man." he said, lever heeri
of Cap'n Kidd? Well, his plumber
warn't a ropeyarn to six-inch hawser
alongside this here wealth in the Servia.
HI Kidd was around these days them
millions wouldn't never get across the
pond. Wot pity for hlm he's dead. -
The superintendent of an importing
house which is constantly sending out
large amounts OF gold said yesterday
that the house insures it. The firm gets
the money from the suh.treasury ol
assay office, prepares it for shipping and
then lodge ii in the vessel. There Their
trouble ends.
"Do you send any one along to watch
it on the way p
''No; it would do no good, The money
is perfectly safe in the vessel, and in the
extremely improbable event of pirat
ical attack our man might get killed"
'Why do you send out gold:'
Because it is impossible to buy com
mercial bills. There are not any in tn,
market"

A Brigand's Death.

The death of Cipriano La Gala, the
most ferocious brigand of modern times,
is reported from Portoferraio on the
island Of Elba, where he had been con-
fined for number of years chained to
the wall, La Gala has been proved
guilty Of fifty murders and numerous
robberies, as well as arson. He com.
menced his career as an officer in the
Bourbon Militia. In 1860 he became q
brigand and the terror of Southern Italy; !;
he collected around him band of 700
malefactors and ruled them with an iron
will, Furnishing the smallest disobedi-
ence with death. He was only of small,
slender stature, but his piercing dark
eyes showed his indomitable will. He
wore long, black beard, coming down
to the middle Of his chest. Gala affected
to be most religious, and went frequently
to mass and confession. His skull will
be preserved as chronological curiosity.

Application for nm Injunction
Against the sale OF Watered
spring valley stock Denied.

SAv Francisco, April TO- Judge
Hunt, this morning, in Department 5
delivered decision in the suit of Daniel
Stein VS.. Charles webb Howard, ct al.
The complaint alleges that the Spring
Valley Water Works is q corporation
duly organized and created under the
laws Of the State Of California, with a
capital of $1,000, 600, divided into S0,-
600 shares of the value OF 500 each.
That on the lst day of April last. at
regular meeting Of the Directors there
of, resolution was adopted EN-.
poweriDg the President and Secretary
to issue twenty thousand shares of in.
creased stock thereof, at SS7. so per share.
which increased stock the shareholders
of said corporation were entitled to
purchase at the rate Of one share OF such
increased stock, for every four shares
owned by them, on payment therefor in
cash, of the sum OF SS7.50 per share.
The complaint further AYERS that it is
the intention Of defendants, as Directors
of said Corporation, unless restrained
therefrom, to carry out said resolution
and issue said amount of increased stock,
and that said proposed issuance is in
violation OF the law and will work
irreparable injury to the share.

dcring the issuance of the shares in
question and their proposition to dis
pose thereof for the sum of sS7 so per
share, is entirely legal, and not in vio-
lation of any constitutional or statutory

that the application for an injunction
