Nvitchhazel sticks to indicate the To-
cation Of subterranean streams OF water
and of mines and pots of gold have been
used for ages, and appear to be still in
use in many places.
In Los Angeles this peculiar notion
has been revived, and the operation OF
treasure hunting has begun in good ear
nest. Search has been made by means
of this enchanted stick on the site of
the old May adobe, near Alameda street,
but so far without success.
Another attempt has been made TO
exhume treasure along the Arroyo Seoo
at the witehing midnight hour, and par.
ties in digging beneath venerable syca-
more tree were driven away at o'clock
in the morning by the persuasion of q
Winchester rife, t.E
Still the tradition lie believed that
there lies buried a large keg of gold in
the valley of tho arroyo beneath an oak
or sycamore, and many q man has
searchedfor it aud searched in vain, and
others will take their witchhazal and
follow in their footsteps in later years,
As the witchha2el is not common in
this part of the country, other wooden
rods are being substituted in place of
that famous tree, but the gold does not
come to either stick.

How Main street Land Is Given
Away.

Away.
Fourteen. year.old Seeding orange
trees have an auction value. SIG each
is an extremely low figure. No farmer
would contract to grow them for that
sum. 1t would not begin to pay him for
his labor. In fact he would ridicule
such an offer. Twelve trees to 50xll9
loot lot at that price would equal $3.50.
The city improvements, such as ten
beautiful dwellings, heavy plank walks,
electric lights, etc., nearly exhaust the
d ference between $3.50 and $3.50, the
price of each lot on the Cooperative
Nursery tract. The owner therefore
asks less than cost of improvements; the
land is thrown in free. This is why the
offer of the Cooperative tract IL the
lowest ever made in this city. There is
not capitalist in Los Angeles who
would agree to furnish like improve.

money.
So practically fine and slightly piece

line with the city's growth, on the high.
est priced street we have, you may then
understand that small investment at
our figures will return you many fold
increase within very few years.
There is not flaw of any kind in the
property; every detail is perfect, includ.
ing the title.
This is forced sale, otherwise no such
price would be made. The reason is
explained by the managers. Many sub
scribers have already realized what we
say. A large proportion of these lots
are already sold. The remainder are
already taken, il we can rely on the
promises of apparently sincere people.
Five years hence this tract will be as
near the city proper as Fourth and
Main ara now. What surer investment
cen one maker No other securities can be
gin to give like returns. Look around
the cities in the United States. How
many of their wealthy inhabitants be-
came wealthy by real estate investments?
Nearly all Of them. Where one man
makes money in business, 30 make
wealth by city real estate Investments.
Look at U. s. statistics. What is the
growing wealth of our country? Nine

Then do you know anybody who has
not largely profted themselves by in
vestments in real estate in Los Angeles
We do not. Many have become rich
thereby. Don't hesitate, but invest q

advantage yourself with slight or no in

AS Frank Anterior, Of East Los An
geles, was yesterday changing cars oil
the street railway in East Los Angeles
aud standing on the west side of tn,
track, he was run over by a wagon
driven by man named Proulette and
seriously injured in the back and on the
right arm.
The team was going up at the left side
of the street when it should have been
on the right side. Besides there was
plenty OF room in the street without 60
ing near where Anterior was standing.
Mr.. Anterior had just risen from a sick
bed and started to ride to business in
the HERALD building, but feeling too
weak to come farther, was changing
cars to go home when be was rudely
run over and injured.
A suit for damages is likely to arise
out of the matter. The whole affair
was witnessed by the driver of one of
the cars, Mr.. E. Dubois, whose car was
SO near that Anterior was thrown part
" beneath the car and barely escaped
having one foot cut of by the oarwheel.
Such rash driving is very dangerous and
should be prohibited.
