erally 60 fair in it's comments on public
questions that was greatly surprised at
your editorial of this morning on the
recent "gas DEAL" You will remember
that until q short time before the organ
ization of the Lowe Company the price
charged for gas in this city was So 90 per
thousand feet, and that at the time the
Lowe Company WAS organized the price
was $3. ThA Consumers Gas Company,
when organized, did propose to furnish
water gas at $1.25 for heat and power
purposes, but soon learned that they
could not do SD, and sold out to the Lowe
Company. This company from the first
established the price of So so, and were
willing to give those who came to them
guarantee that the price should never
exceed that figure. How we'll they have
kept that promise is evidenced by the
stipulation in the consolidation that the
price should ba reduced to 1926. That
each party sold gas at less than this price
during the fight is no argument.
The old company, under Mr.. Simp-
kins, made q desperate effort to run
money in the fight. The San Francisco
parties who succeed him are men of
greater sagacity, and have done very
sensible thing in agreeing to fair price
and consolidating. Had Mr.. Simpkins
succeeded in killing the Lowe Company
we would now be paying $3 for gas.
Compared with the price Of fuel, Los An
geles has the cheapest and best gas in
the United States at So 25 per thousand.
II you will look at the facts in the case, /
think you will admit that your criticism
was unjust, and that Prof. Lowe has full
filed every promise he has ever made
to the gas consumers OF Los Angeles.
Here, as in every other place where he
has entered the gas field, his policy has
been to reduce the price and increase
the consumption. All consumers of gas
in this city, except those on streets
where the two companies have been
competing, are now paying 25 cents per
thousand less for gas than before the
consolidation, and as the gas that has
been furnished by the Lowe Company is
far superior TO any ever sold here before,
it is to be supposed that the new COM
pany will make that kind exclusively

MINERS AND rlmBER
Forbidden To Chop the Scrub Pines
From Nevada Mountains

AsHTsGTos, March 23.-By reso-
luton OF the senate on the 7th OF JAN
nary last, the committee on mines
and mining was instructed 10 ascer-
tain all the facts and circumstances
connected with the bringing of certain
suits by the United States against per-
sons for cutting timber for mining
and domestic purposes in Nevada. and
TO inquire il such suits have caused
any interruption in mining operations
in that state In accordance with this
resolution senator Stewart submitted
IA report to the senate to-day OF the
inquiry by the committee on the sub
lect. The report says that since lsss
the miners have made their own rules
and regulations limiting the extent Of
mining claims, governing rights Of
posse ssion and regulating the use of
lumber and water for mining pGr-
poses. The legality OF these rules and
regulations was afi1rraed by decisions
OF the courts. L he practice of cutting
timber was continued, the report says.
until 1877, when Secretary Schurz
caused prosecutions to he instituted
against miners IN some of the terrific
ries for cutting timber The matter
was brought 70 the attention of
congress, and oa June 3. ISIS,
an act was passed authorizing
the miners in the mining districts of
the United States Ia fell and remove
timber fer mining and domestic puF-
poses.
The miners, the report SAYS, treated
this act rs q settlement of the question
ami we're not interfered with again for
some time. In April 1867. the district
attorney OF Nevada advertised the
prosecution OF miners IN that state for
using the seruhby timber for mining
and domestic purposes. Later the de-
paFfment of the interior sent q special
agent - tie state. who was authorized
10 make thorough investigation of
the alleged cutting. The special agent
advised the institution of three suits
for tFcspass. The department subse-
uaentiy authorized these 20 BE- Insti-
tatesi These suits and seven others
were brought in December last and a.
result the two principal mines in
Eureka are closed down
The conclusion OF the committee j.
that the suits brought BY the United
States have been great obstruction 10

vada: thar they are needless and yex-
atiouS, and that the attorney general
in authorizing the three suits must
