Happy New Year.

A happy New Year to our readers, one
and all, and many returns of the happy
day! This greeting can never become
hackneyed, and it is specially sppro-
pirate for Angelefios today. as a most
plenteous year is now assured. The in
dications for an unexampled prosperity,
founded upon greatly extended produc-
ton in all lines, and upon a large
impending settlement of the best people
from all sections of the East, were
never better. During the coming year
We shall retrieve the last injury result

of unexampled progress. We have

the fates are kindly, and we may we'll
assume that veritable horn of plenty
will be poured out on this favored land

still further proof is needed, we may
point to the fact that one road. which is
really continuation Of the Upion Pa
cifc, has already given out grading
contracts for two hundred mi.es in this
direction. Further than this, we learned
yesterday that the leading -four and
grain company OF San Bernardino had
concluded a contract to supply grain for
the animals to be engaged in the con-
struction of the road this side Of Phoebe.
There is no room whatever to doubt that
the Utah Central will be extended to Los
Angeles, nor is it at all problem
atical that tho Denver and Rio
Grande road will send its track
down through Nevada to this
city. We know by private letters
that actual work is being done upon this
extension, and that it is the object OF
that company to reach the Pacific Coast
at this point. Behind this last move
ment is Jay Gould with his great mid
land railway system.
These roads will bring to Los Angeles
the elements of growth and prosperity
which cannot be over-estimated even by
the most sanguine. 1t will round ou

G. Turner who, according to the state

the most accomplished insurance rascsls

Immediately proceeded to organize
the State, in Systematic manner, to 60
licit life insurance for his company.
Agents were appointed among the
farmers and the lsboring classes. An
attractive feature Of the plan was to issue
a coDjoint policy, covering both man
and wife, and in some instances the en-
tire family. Business came pouring in
at an enormous rate, notes or cash being
taken for premiums from policy-holders.
When q note was taken it was sold
at whatever figure the local banks
were willing to pay for it.. The
work was fraudulent scheme
from it's inception. The amount
of business done is enormous and the
policies will reach 100000. The at
torney will institute proceedings in the
United States courts for the collection of
fines against the company. which are
81 900 for every policy written. The
has been worked thoroughly,
and Turner's receipts must amount to
many thousands of dollars. The notes

Great mining Developments.

The most sensational developments
ever recorded on the Pacific Coast have
OF course been in mines, placer and
quartz and gold and silver. California
was first called prominently to the atten-
tion of the people of the United States by
incidents connected with the Mexican
war, through which she became a mem
Der of the sisterhcod of States, but it was
as the scene of the romantic adventures
of the Argonauts, and through the pro-
digions output of gold, that she became
permanently fixed in their minds. The
yield of gold by authentic records has
been billion and quarter of
dollars, while the amount carried
away in the belts of successful
prospectors was doubtless half as much
more. OF late silver mining has become
an important interest, but it's exploita-
tion has been mainly confined to the
Southern counties. The development of
large bodies of silver ores carrying lead
In the Cerro Gordo district was for years
great source of prosperity of Los Ange-
les. These deposits have recently been
purchased by Senator John P. Jones, of
Nevada, and Mr.. D. o. Mills, and in
connection with extensive deposits at
Darwin and Panamint, they will shortly
be yielding large returns. All over the
Southern counties to and below the
Mexican line deposits of VARYING degrees
OF richness, of both gold and silver, are
being found. Arizona is tributary to Los
Angeles, as is Southeastern Nevada and
Utah. Prospecting is being carried on
in all these regions with an
energy never heretofore known,
and the work of development
is certain to receive great impe-
tus very shortly. Several projects for
the establishment of smelters in Los
Angeles are being entertained in influ.
ential and wealthy quarters, and the
cheap fuel which will soon be
brought here, both from Alaska
and Utah, and the abundant and
constantly increasing yield OF our oil
measures, all point to the conclusion that
this city will in time, and at not very
remote day at that, be as great smelling
center as Denver herself. The large
yield of the mines in our immediate
neighborhood is of itself guarantee
that such industries will be established
here. Only the other day we gave in the
HERALD detailed description of the
efforts which are now being made by a
Chicago company to give us mammoth
smelter. Having provided us with a
splendid cable system, Chicago may we'll
supplement her great benefaction by
smelling works on scale of correspond
ing grandeur.
