madame, why noti-provided the
heavens be propitious and furnish the
snow and there is every prospect OF
plenty this winter. Snowshoeing is
as easy as sliding down hill, after
you know how, and you will know, and
how to form club, and what to wear,
and all about it, after reading the
breezy article on "Snowshoeing"i in
DEMoREsT's FAMILY MAGAZINE for Jan

lighted with the excellent paper on

Miss Katherine Kerrigan, who will
make her debut before tho gaslights
at Macauley's Theater on January s,
is young lady of rare beauty, aud
Mr.. Walter Mathews, who is manag-
ing her affairs, thinks she has decid-
ed talent. She is as tall as Mary An
derson, being about 5 feet 8 inches,
and her figure, though perhaps as
slight, is more willowy, escaping that
angularity which the critics harped on
a good deal at one period in the career
of the queen of tragedy. Miss Kerri-
gan has dark blue eyes, and clear cut
features somewhat classic in their
mold. The "Lady of Lyons" will be the
opening play and on the following
oveniDg Miss Kerlisan will appear in
"Pygmalion and Galatea." After her
debut it is very probable she will make
short tour through Kentucky. She
expects 10 star in earnest next season

matters whose mere appearance in
print causes his motives, however pure

separates public duty from private

SEWER WORK.
The Result of Special Committees
Search.

On Monday last special committee
Of the council was appointed to investi-
gate the charges made against the con-
tractors building sewers, to the effect
that they were not carrying out their
contract. Judge Smith appeared before
the council and stated that it was
alleged that some of the contractors
were employing men who had not been
residents of the city for six months and
who were not citizens OF the United
States. 1t will be remembered that in
each contract was inserted the
provision that all employed in
the construction of sewers should
be residents of the city for six
months prior to their employment.
The committee was appointed to in
vestigate the matter, and yesterday 1t
filed its report with the city clerk. The
committee states that it visited the work
being done by Contractors Mahoney,
Walker, Frick Bros. and the Laborers'
Construction Company. The committee
found that Messrs. Mahoney and
Walker employed man named Polruck,
who says he has been here three years
but who is not citizen; man named
Calvate H. Egildo also stated that
he had been here three years, but
ia not citizen. The committee also
found employed twelve men who reside
at the Rowan hotel, who stated that
they had their first papers >at home.
They all reported that they were being
paid from $1.75 to 81 per day. The

for sidewalking the street, and that the
matter will be heard on June 10th.
Notice that the property-owners on

Los Angeles herald., 1890-06-12

committee expressed itself as of the
opinion that the twelve men were not
citizens. 1t also found that Frick Bros.
had discharged all their laborers, not
citizens, on June 10th, excepting two
who said they had their papers. The
committee found two men who are citi-
zens of the United States, but who re-
side just outside of the city limits.
The committee found that the laborers
at work on the contract of the Laborers'
Cooperative Association are all citizens
except two, who are not yet 21 years of
age, but who were born in the United
States and have to support families. 1t
was found that Mahoneys men were
working over eight hours day, which
is against the law.
Action will be taken on the report by
the council on Monday.

The above is what the officers of the company
think they will be able to pay; but if this should
be divided by four, it would still make an in
vestment without a parallel 1t is therefore
worth while to take a reasonable amount of
this stock. Had this company been organized
merely for the purpose of FLOATING" the stock,
it would have been organized with capital
stock as high as $4,000, 900; but at the present
time no private stock is for sale that which is
now being sold is treasury stock, and is for the
purpose of completing the present dredge and
amalgamator, which is to start up by July 1st
10000 shares of this stock were recently placed
In my hands to dispose of for this purpose, and
considerable amount of it has already been
taken.
The directors of the company are all good men,
and are interested in their work All the stock
is registered by the FARMERS LOAN AND TRUST
Co., of New YORK. Parties wishing to invest in
this enterprise should do so Immediately as in
all probability, the small amount of stock which
we have for sale will remain upon the market
but fora few days only, after the above facts
become known to any number of people. There
is no use OF asking the question, ,''Why if it is so
good thing,do not the people in n lew Y ork take
lt?' The answer to this question is that it has
been taken in New York City very largely and
several people here have high as from 5000
to 4,Q0o shares. But the people largely inter
ested in the concern have taken about all the
stock they feel able to, and it has therefore been
determined to sell the number of shares above
mentioned in small lots.
The present price OF 50 75 per share Will be
continued until June goth. No less than ten
shares will be issued. Orders may be sent at
the rate of 1878 per share, by P. o. order, eX.
