Captain Dicks Go1dprince.

The Goldprince Mining company is
the latest active corporation to enter the
Perris field in search of golden treasure.
H. A. Thompson, New York capitalist,
is president of the company, Robert
l.. Binford, secretary, and the genial
R. A. Falkenberg, better known
in public life as Captain Dick, is man
ager. The property is an extension of
the Good Hope mines and has been
developed to a considerable extent by it's
former owner, Mr.. Doran, and is re-
garded as one OF the best investments in
the country. The new company have
commenced work already and the way
they are pushing things indicates that
they mean business. Oliver and Velzey
are now at work erecting an Office build
ing, boarding house and lodging house
and large force of practical miners are
employed in the works. "Captain
Dick" the manager, aside from being
eminently qualified to fill that Office,
has spent many years of his life in gov
ernment work and the story of his thrill
ling experiences in the secret service
and life on the frontier, would read like
romance if told in print.

THE CHINO SUGAR.
A Hundred Per Cent Increase In the
Operations at the Factory.

A Hundred Per Cent Increase In the
Operattons at the Factory.
Revenue Collector John @. Quinn,
who has recently been on trip in the
southern part of the state, said on
Thursday to San Francisco reporter
that there has been big increase in
the operations of the sugar factory at
Chino. The present output is 100 bar
rels day, about 100 per cent more than
the average of last year.
Mr.. Gird's coloniets are growing hum
dreds of acresIof beets this season, and
lit is believed they will have market
for the entire profit, though the prices
paid at the factory are still low.
The inability of the growers to
obtain satisfactory rates on
their beets last year was ex-
pected to have the effect of )essening
the planting operations this year, but
the newcomers have offset the depres-
sion that existed among the older
colonists, and there will be no lack of
beets at the mills.
The Alameda sugar factory in Alva-
RADIO will begin work on August Goth,
and the Watsonville factory will start
up soon afterward.

The Polite swimmer.

Directly the bathing season comes on
prominent feature of it appears in the
person of the polite and gentlemanly
swimmer who is of no earthly conse-
quence on land, yet whose natatorial ac-
complishments render him, in his own
eyes 1T least, absolutely bewitching in
the water.
He is SO polite, is this essentially sum-
mer production. His hand is always out
stretched to guide into the briny the
tinid, shrinking bather of the feminine
persuasion. So good is his heart he
needs no Introduction. He is above the
mere petty trifles of mundane propriety,
and in spirit of genuine philanthropy
comes to the rescue of the fair in pro-
miscuous manner delightful to behold.
His attentions are extremely numerous,
yet he does discriminate in a measure,
as his gentle offices are usually per-
formed for the prettier and younger
noyices at the shrine of Neptune.
Simply in a spirit of kindness and
with desire to overcome their exces-
sive timidity he guides them far out
where the water is deep and the waves
are high, and then smiles rapturously
when they cling to him in abject terror.
He does not realize that they would
embrace rope or spar with the same
fervor, but considers it compliment to
his own personality, which, in all prob
ability, has made no impression what
ever on the terrified female.
When not playing knight to beauty in
distress he splashes, floats and swims for
the ediication of the people assembled
on the beach and seems to consider him
self the star attraction of the resort. He
is indigenous to this season and this land.
No other cline could produce SO rare
and perfect specimen of officious mas
culine vanity as does our own delightful
one. Philadelphia Times.

Cedros Island Mines.

Not much is heard these days OF the
Cedros island mines, says the Lower
Californian, but they are nevertheless
as rich as ever, and the owners, Messrs.
Nicholson, Michaelson and Hill, are
confident that they have a valuable
property. The scheme to build
reduction works on the island
is still under consideration, and
it is likely that it will soon be
done, as thousands of tons of low
grade ore thatIwill not pay for shipment.
are on the dump, and with machinery at
hand this ore could be reduced at a
great profit. The high grade ore is all
shipped to the smelters at Pueblo, and
to show how rich this class OF ore is, it
may be said that when the company was
running a steamer between the island
and San Diego, six consecutive cargoes
of ore brought a return of $4,000 each.
