Recently John Loop, young assayer
of Pomona, tested the character OF a
rock which was given to him for exam
ination from the Julian mines, In San
Diego county, and the test has shown
$103.32 per ton in gold and 1873 per
ton in silver. Last Thursday evening
Mr.. Loop, with number OF other gen
tlemen, partook of banquet in Gal
breath's ice cream parlors on Second
street, when bit of rock of seven pounds
and two ounces weight was to be as
sayed. Each of the gentlemen were to
guess as to the value of this rock, and he
who was farthest from the assayed value
was to pay for the banquet. The assay
was made, and Mr.. Loop exhibited a
delicate and handsome ring OF S.54
grains of gold and 1.0S2 grains of silver,
and worth 81 cents, as the product OF
the seven pounds and two ounces OF
rock. The guesses of the gentlemen were
as follows: Thirty dollars, $37 80, $780,
and SOL, but imagine their surprise when
Mr.. Loop informed them that the rock
would produce as above noted.

OUT OF TOWN PRIMARIES.
List of Some of Those Elected in
Several Places.


Several Places.
Redondo Beach is such new place,
devoid of political tendencies, that the
political complexion of the people there
has been an unknown quantity. The
Democratic primaries held there on Sat
urday, however, settle the question
and put that charming resort on the
honorable list of Democratic strong
holds. There were 120 votes cast, and
Messrs. j. R. Brewer, - Shaeffer and
= Rowan were selected. Mr.. Brewer is
the handsome, talented secretary of the
Redondo Beach Company, and his
friends hope to send him as delegate to
the state convention.
According to the apportionment o1
delegates by the central committee,
based on the Democratic vote at
the last presidential election, Re-
dondo is only entitled to one delegate, but
the population has increased so rapidly
that it is thought that the three dele
gates will be permitted to take their
seats.
Garvanza returned as elected w. H.
McCutchen and G. S. Bartholomew.
AT Whittier nine votes were cast, re-
sulting in the selection OF S. L. Leighton
and S. B. Lane.
Santa Monica selected Judge John G.
Morgan, Hon. Abbot Kinney, M. X.
Barretto and j. G. Steele.
At San Pedro the successful candi-
dates were DR.. R. w. Hill, j. A. Park
Joseph Woodward and James H. Dod-
son.
At Rosedale precinct j. M. Voss, P. F.
Gibbons and George Brown were elected

HER LIVING.
How One Woman Manages to Keep
Going.

Going.
Lots of women are not making any
money in Southern California because
they think they have no opportunity.
Some men are in the same situation.
All of such people can read with profit
the experience of Mrs. L. A. King, of
San Bernardino. This lady up to few
months ago lived in Oceanside, but
death deprived her of her husband, and
she found it necessary to gain liveli-
hood. Fortunately for herself and a
long-suffering world, she did not know
how to paint placques nor to decorate
clam shells, or do drawn work or any of
the other semi-charitable ruses which
gentlewomen in reduced circumstances
commonly resort to, but she did know
how to make preserves and "put up"
fruit, and so she pluckily went to work
at that. She has contracted to deliver
in Chicago by October 1st 1920 jars of
assorted Southern California fruits, be-
sides cases Of sweet picked apricots and
assorted jellies. If man were to un-
dertake such scheme he would hire
half dozen helpers, an agent, broker,
and then think he was working terribly
hard. Mrs. King is doing every bit of
the work herself, and intends to go east
when the season is over and take orders
for next years crop.

FORGED CHECKS.
An Ex-Patrol Wagon Driver Tries His
Hand at It.

The only name entered upon the reg
lister OF the county Jail yesterday was
that Of J. M. Pond, who, until recently,
held the position of patrol wagon driver
on the police force. He was brought in
from Redondo Beach at 6 O'Clock last
evening by Constable Geo. Foyer, of
that place, who arrested him upon a
warrant issued by Justice Lockwood
charging him with forgery. The COM
plant filed against Pond is sworn to by
Siegel, the halter, who alleged that on
Monday last the defendant called at his
store after banking hours and asked
him as favor to cash check for SIS on
the Southern California National Bank,
which purported to have been signed by
G. H. Mcfarland, the city attorney
The fact that Pond wore his star dis
armed Siegel of all suspicion, and he at
once complied with the request; but, on
sending the check to the bank, it was
dishonored, and an investigation was
made, which left no doubt as to for
gerry having been committed. Pond re-
fused to make any statement when in
terviewed by reporter at the Jail last
night, beyond the announcement that
he did not intend to fight the charge
Since his arrest it is reported that the
police are in possession of number of
other similar forged checks, by means of
which Pond is said to have raised funds

Today Santa Monica witnessed the

alive with bathers. Every suit was
pressed into service, and many over and
over again. The fishing was most excel

pastime on the wharf enjoyed them
selves immensely. The esplanade pre-
sented very charming appearance in

of beautiful women in their varied
colored costumes. Many stayed over to
enjoy the evening and were well repaid.
