voice. why, of course. SO far as

the nxcursion Business.

There appears to be movement on
foot to discontinue excursion parties
from Los Angeles to Eastern cities.
Such a policy would be very injurious to
the business of the country. Thousands
Of persons cone to California with excur-
sions, who would never come here under
any other circumstances. Acquaintance
and relatives in various parts of the
country unite in these excursions, and
make the occasion social visit as well
as pleasure trip, The parties are made
up Of social knots, who take these op.
portunities to spend few weeks in the
society Of each other, and exchange
views and make love, and enjoy them
selves in most delightful manner. The
reduced rates Of fare and the certainty
of having plenty Of room and the society
of friends, all combine to attract thou
sands Of tourists to gather together at
certain places, under experienced man
ayers, for trip to the Pacific Coast and
return. Besides, many Of these excur-
sionists are so pleased with the country
that they invest literally in property in
California, and return to cultivate the
soil, open mines and erect manufac-
tories.
The excursions make continental
picnic three thousand miles long. and
then double it, giving holiday com
plexion to travel and promoting good
feeling and great prosperity. The price
of travel is certainly high enough to af-
ford generous profit TO oil the railroads
over which the excursionists pass. There
is something so CHEEKY in these parties,
such an atmosphere of comfort and en-
| joyment, SO essential to travellers over
long distances, that it would be a great
mistake to prohibit them. Nearly half
Of the through travel is made up of these
excursions, and the prohibition of them
would be serious drawback to the rail
ways themselves. Every dictate of do
mestic happiness and desire to promote
the settlement Of the country that is to
furnish business to the railways, while it
affords fair profit of itself, seems to in
dictate that the excursion business should
be kept up in lively and continuous
manner

Movement of Steamers.

The steamer Queen of the Pacific did
not sail yesterday, as was expected, to
Santa Barbara, Port Hartford and San
Francisco, but will leave this morning,
the train leaving at 7 o'clock for San
Pedro. Later in the day the fine, fleet
steamship, State of California. will ar
rive direct from San Francisco in "a
hours, without stopping at any stations.
This vessel will discharge freight and
passenger, and return Immediately.
Passengers for this steamer will take the
regular train at 10 A. NJ. The little pro-
peller, Los Angeles, came in over the
bar, drawing l3 feet of water, yesterday,
discharged cargo and took on 25 passen-
gers for San Francisco and way ports.
The passengers that have waited two
days for the opportunity to sail on the
Queen Of the Pacific, are very indignant
at, to them, the inexcusable reason for
not sending out the lighters with passen-
gers. They insist that the lighters could
have gone out as well as the Los Angeles
could have come in during any time yes
terday. The cursing of 200 passengers
who have been so delayed was perfectly
fearful yesterday. 1t appears that the
report that the sea was so rough that the
Queen of the Pacific had to anchor un.
der the lee of Santa Catalina Island was
incorrect. The sea was not much rough
and the steamer and other vessels outside
the bar. rode safely at anchor all the
time. 1t is to be hoped that the accom-
mediation OF the merchants aud the trav
cling public will not be obstructed in
this manner again. Such delay injures
the business of the port and does nc
good to anybody.

vicinity by VIM. Yount and others.
Also borax claim of 220 acres. princ;-
pally borate of lime. One ledge was
found that cropped out for over half a
mile in length and averaged eight feet in
width. Another ledge in the hills was
found which lay in masses, rather than
in ledge form, and there is an abundance
Of mineral in it easily comeatable. The
Lee boys and +. Burd, have also located
l60 acres Of borate of soda land, which
resembles the Monte Blanco soda and
will average from three inches to one
foot in thickness. It is about three
miles from Barts well and lies in rolling
hills like the Amargosa borax beds.
The borax is found in crystalized form
and is called colemanite by experts. =

GOOD Mining News.

The Calico Print has the following to
say about the Garfield mine, the proper.
ty Of Uncle Billy Raymond. well known
to all the old mining men on the Pacific
coast, who rejoice in the good luck Of
the former millionaire: "The Garfield
mine has been put in good shape for
operations, with new shute, ore bin,
tralnway. asserting platform and shed,
car track, lodging houses. Office, etc.
Work is progressing smoothly day and
night, with satisfactory results SO far, as
shown in the milling returns. Thirty
miners are employed in and about the
mine including eight ore assorters. No
sinking has been done below the lowest
lsvel-the last tunnel driven in OF a
depth of 100 feet : except shaft OF
twenty-six feet sunk in the same. Oper-
ations in the mine now consist in finding
the ore wherever it may exist. Consid-
cradle dead-work is accomplished in
reaching the ore deposits, but when ore
is found it is generally so rich that it
pays good average profit. The indca.
tions Of finding ore in the fhine are as
good as they were from the start. With
in the past few months 600 tons of ore
have been milled that yielded returns on
an average of about Sl25 a ton. and
several shipments to San Francisco of
first-class ore gave very rich returns,
sometimes as high as 81, 900 ton."

An Old Fraud Heard From.

A few months ago fellow calling him
self w. w. Goodrich appeared in Los
Angeles, hailing as an architect from
San Francisco. He got some job print
ing done ia this city, and bilked the
printers and other parties with bogus
checks signed B. F. Smith. who had nu-
merous addresses. including New Or
leans, Atlanta and other places. He
represented that he was to erect bank
building at Globe City, hundred-stamp
mill, hotel and residence, and had
power Of attorney to draw in the name
of Smith for an unlimited amount Of
money. Goodrich fired all this pretense
at the Ell Paso Herald, showed the pub
Usher his credentials as correspondent
Of the Times Mirror Of Los Angeles and
then ordered some job printing as usual.
When the job was finished he was
pleased with the work, but started off
with the same without waiting to pay for
the job. He was reminded Of the pro-
priety Of settling the bill, but explained
that he had no change with him. The
printed matter was then taken away
from him and he started for new VIC
tim. who was not so well posted as
newspaper man. At the store Of P. E.
Kern he purchased watch for $50, and
gave check of B. W. Smith on Connor
4 Sullivan, of San Antonio, Texas, for
$lO0, and received $50 in money. He
then told Mr.. Kern that he would leave
the watch to be regulated, and retired
to his hotel, taking care to purchase
half rate ticket to San Francisco, on ac-
count Of being newspaper correspond
ent. His rest was soon after disturbed
by Mr.. Kern, who discovered that the
check was worthless, and called on the
great Goodrich to refund. but he called
q little too late, ON account of the pre-
vious purchase of the ticket. 1t is need
less to say that Goodrich was taken to Jail,
when he developed q new character,
and put on the insane dodge, showing
that he had been an inmate of an insane
asylum at Danvers, Massachusetts,, and
threw himself down in paroxysms on
the floor. His next move will be a
method in his madness quite unknown
to Others. He has fertility Of re-
sources quite surprising to sane people,
but seems to have met his match in an
El Paso newspaper man. He will prob
ably not return to Los Angeles very
soon. We have no heed of him at pres.

william Nys en- Woman Suffrage

Weeks and months before election in
Wyoming, tho party with the longest
purse subsidies the most livery stables
and carriages. Then on the eventful
day every conveyance available is deco
rated with a political placard and driven
by polite young man, who is instructed
to improvs the time. Thus every wo-
man in Wyoming has a chance to ride
once year at least. Lately, however,
many prefer to walk to the polls, and
they 60 in pairs, trios and quartets, vot-
lug their little sentiments and calmly re-
turning to their cookies and crazy quilts
as though politics didn't jar their mental
poise minute.
1t is possible, and even probable, that
man and his wife may disagree on pol
itics as they might on religion. The
husband may believe in Andrew Jack
son and relentless hell, while his wife
may be Stalwart and rather liberal on
the question Of eternal punishment. If
the husband manages his wife as he
would a clothes wringer, and turns her
through life by crank, he will no
doubt work her politically, but if she
has her own ideas about things she will
naturally act on them, while the man
who is henpecked in other matters till
he can't see out Of his eyes will be hen
pecked, no doubt, in the matter of na
tional and local politics.
These are few facts about the actual
workings of female suffrage, and 1 do
not tackle the great question of the ulti-
mate results upon the political machin-
cry if woman suffrage were to become
general. lido not pretend to say as to
that. l know a great deal, but do not
know that. There are millions Of women,
ne doubt who are better qualified to
vote and yet cannot than millions of
alleged men who do vote; but no one
can tell now what the ultimate effect of
a change might be.
So far as Wyoming is concerned the
Territory is prosperous and happy. |
see, also, that murderer was hanged
by process Of law there the other day.
That looks like the onward march of re-
form whether female suffrage had any
thing to do with it or not. And they're
going to hang another in March If the
weather is favorable and executive Glenn
ency remains dormant. as l think it will.
All these things look hopeful. We can't
tell what the Territory would have been
without female suffrage, but when they
begin to hang men by law instead Of by
moonlight. the future begins to brighten
up. When you have to get up in the
night to hang q man every little while
and don't get any per diem for il, you
feel AZ though you were good way

The Sullivan Exhipltion.

The sparring exhibition given by the
John L. Sullivan Combination at Turn
verein Hall, last evening. was well at
tended, and better satisfaction was given
than at the previous performance. There
was a marked improvement in the ap-
pearance and work Of the champion, and
he punished his opponents severely. to
the delight Of the audience. In the last
bout between Taylor and Sullivan. the
former received some terrific blows. that
almost lifted him from his feet. Mccoy
and Gillespie were also in good trim,
and the earnest manner in which they
seemed to enter their contest made il
very spirited and exciting. The black
smith named Byrns, from Tombstone
who was to stand up before Sullivan,
failed to appear. and the general impress
sion is that he was myth invented t.
draw crowded house.
Two local contests took place and tn
grotesque attitudes Of the boxers create,
much merriment. Messrs. John Clarl
and James Hawkins fought thre
ludicrous rounds in which some sever,
blows were exchanged. and the fgh
may be considered draw. A. Kiaffki
and Walter Cathcart, gave creditabl'
exhibition, in which some regard wa
paid to the science Of boxing. Klaffk
drew first blood and following it u
with several blows ON his opponent
probosis, he was called off to keep tn,
gloves from being soiled.
Los Angeles is the first city in tn,
United States, visited by Sullivan
where he has been obliged to show tt
empty chairs, and it is credit to the
culture and moral status Of our com
munity, that such exhibitions are de
preciated, as they tend to deprave ths
taste and welfare of the rising genera
tion.

How a Widow Was Won and Lost

lCor. st. Louis Globo Demosrat.l
For some months rivalry between bud
Mabley and Bird Mabley, two brothers,
for the affections Of Mrs. Judy McCook,
sprightly widow, has been the gossip
of the county. To each she was equally
sweet, and to each pledged her troth.
The arrangement in each case was
that the nuptials shonld be quietly
celebrated SO as to be sur
prise to the community when
it happened. In this manner each one
imagined himself to be the sole possessor
of the widows heart. 1t was arranged
with Bird Mabley that Widow McCook
should meet him at certain point on
Ocmulgee river and enjoy the fruition
Of loves young dream. On the night in
question Dud Mabley learned Of the
intended move and went to the
widows house and besought her
to come out and wed him.
This she refused to do, and locked the
front door. The disappointed lover sat
on the doorstep, and resolved to hold
the fort until she should appear. When
daylight came he gained admittance, but
found that the lady was missing. She
had escaped through a back window,
and, seeking the place of appointment
with Bird Mabley. the two were married,
and returning home later in the day, re-
ceived the blessing of the watcher on the
doorstep.

Santa Ana Items.

The following items are collected from
the Santa Ana Standard.
We learn that the New Hope School
District at the election on the 23d, voted
$1,000 worth of bonds for building a
school house, without dissenting voice.
The proposed new house is badly needed.
Mr.. 7. A. Templeton, the live business
agent for the Los Angeles Herald for
years past, has taken a new departure
and retired from active work in thai
office and purchased an interest in one
of the best livery stables in the city.
Mr.. Templeton is a fine gentleman and a
thorough business man. We wish him
prosperity.
The Board of Directors of the s. A

Schneider for Sl6l36O Upon motion
both bids were rejected, as the Boart
wished to meet and consult with civi

pipe as to the expediency of putting in /
pipe instead of fume. The BOARD
adjourned to meet again Thursday, but
