Temescal Valley Mines.

There is considerable mining excite
ment now in the Temescal valley over
this side of the Chaney coal mines and
in the Temescal range of mountains.
says the Riverside Bee. The rock is
gold bearing and assays from $50 to $55
and some cents gold. and a trace of
silver. The Peterson brothers, who are
old miners, are heavily interested in the
claims, and they are pushing the work
of development on them. Other gold
and silver bearing quartz ledges have
been located in the valley recently, and
the chances are that some good mines
will be found. The ones first mentioned
lie few miles west of the we'll known
Good Hope mine and south of the Gavi-
Ian mines.-[ Riverside Press.

The Sweet Lime.

Col. Chalmers Scott is displaying on
the streets today samples of curious
fruit called by him the Scott lime. 1t
is about half the size of an ordinary
lemon, with the lemon color in appear
ance, and yet it has the rind of an Or
ange, so far as the detachable qualities
are concerned. The fruit comes from
the old Coutts ranch, near San
Luis Rey, and the trees from
which it was picked are offsprings
from those imported from Mexico by
the late Col. G. ). Couts over twenty
eight years ago. The samples shown
are fat like the ordinary tomato, with a
point resembling the lemon on the
bloom end. The meat has the appear
ance OF lime or lemon, and is easily
separated, but the flavor is sweet like an
orange.
There are a few trees in Los Angeles
city, but those on the Guajome ranch
Couts ranch-are the only ones in San
Diego county, and Colonel Scott thinks
in the state.
Major Nolan pronounced the sweet
lime very marketable article, as it
takes the place of the orange at the
very time it is needed most; for when
the latter crop is about gathered the
sweet lime is just coming in. The
wonder is, taking everything into con-
sideration, why more of this particular
fruit is not cultivated in San Diego.
The horticulturists appear to know
absolutely nothing about it.. San Diego

A Wealthy Actress.

Lolita is undoubtedly the richest
actress in the world. She owns several
apartment houses in this city, the Park
theater in Boston, real estate in nearly
all the large cities, and could, as the
men say, "chase up between two and
three millions. Her permanent residence
is at Lake Hopatcong, and her home is
most beautiful in design and furnishing.
If she were any one else but Lolita
she would be woman nearly fifty years
old, but the name Lolita Is as ever q
synonym for youth, vivacity and merri-
ment entirely incompatible with the
thought Of fifty birthdays.-New York

An Economy in Assessment.

EDITORS HERALD: Please allow tax
payer to ask and emphasize question
which insists upon being put: First,
Where is the Citizens Reform associa-
ton, and what is it doing? But the
burning question is: How long-oh,
how long-will the taxpayers of this
city and county tolerate seeing two sets
of assessors travelling our streets day
after day. when one set of men can do
all the work just as we'll, involving, as
1t does, two sets of officers all around,
when all the work could be done by one
set, and give the other boys chance to
set out orange, olive, or some other Or
chards, and thus add to the wealth of
the county? And, oh, what shall say
about the cumbersome system of book
keeping in vogue? I do not believe any
business man would get rich under such
system OF keeping accounts, so he
would adopt the simplest, most perfect,
and consequently least expensive system
to be found and when found it would be
uniform in all departments, and no new
clerk or bookkeeper would be allowed to
set it aside to suit his particular
method, involving large outlay for a
new set of books and still greater out
lay in the increase of clerks. No refec-
tions on the honesty or integrity of the
present incumbents is intended. 1t
seems to me that the state might adopt
the best system known and make it
uniform in all the municipalities OF the
state.
But the people, the dear people, the
taxpayers, what is the matter with
them? Are they asleep, or hypnotized,
or dazed? Or are they towards that they
do not insist, either through the old re-
form committee or new one, on reform
in this assessment business and con-
solidate the city and county business
under one set of officers and in one
building, and thus cut down expenses
Let some committee of business men
meet and act. Then, and not till then,
will we have less taxes to pay.

A Talk with a Man from the New Tin
Mines-Other Rich Finds.-Mentone
Mines-Temescal Valley Finds.

Mr.. Judson, who has just come in from
a trip to the Colorado river country, was
met by our reporter this morning, says
the Needles Eye, and the following in
terview speaks well for that part OF the
country lying northeast of the San Ber-
nardino range of mountains:
swell, Mr.. Judson, we learn that you
have just returned from the recent rich
mineral fields out on the desert. Will
you give US some information OF what
there is in that country?"
eyes, sir, will. In the first place
let me say that these new finds are not
on the desert. They are located in we'll
defined mountain ranges, which are at
present reached by crossing desert
country forty miles from Dandy station
in an easterly direction. think the
best way for prospectors to 60 in would
be by way of the Needles; then 60
down the river, as the Needles, with
its great advantages over all other
places on the line of the Atlantic and
Pacific railroad will be the outfitting
point for all the Colorado river country.
The recent discoveries of silver mines
by some prospectors from Ehrenburg,
Arizona, and what I believe will de-
velop into one OF the best silver camps
in the state, is situated less than
eighteen miles from the Colorado
river, and forty miles in south
westerly direction from the
Needles. These gentlemen made
eight or ten locations in the new
camp. The ore is very rich and resem-
bles the rich ore that was taken out of
the mines in the Ivanpah camp in its
most palmy days. The tin ore discov-
cries were made about thirty-fve miles
nearly south from the Old Womans
mountains. The veins are very large,
being from twenty to sixty feet wide the
entire length of five locations. The en-
tire ore body in all the claims carries
very high percentage of tin.
While have substantial inter
est in the tin locations, neither
myself nor Mr.. Edwards made the
discoveries. The discovery was made
by well-known prospector one week
before we went into the country. The
statement as published, that we located
this property, was not correct. We
went out to examine what is known as
the Scanlin group of mines situated
twenty-five miles southeast of Dandy
station, which is silver and gold, and
sure to be one of the many new bullion
producing camps in that country in the
near future"

MentOne Mines

A considerable interest, says the Red
lands Citrograph, has been occasioned
the past week by the discovery of ledge
of gold and silver bearing ore on the foot
hills east of Mentone. There is a we'll
defined ledge of white quartz in a slate
formation. The results attained by
thirty or forty assays are somewhat pc
culiar. One assay will yield nothing,
while others give as high as $35 to $43
per ton, the ore coming from the same
portion of the ledge and having the same
appearance. The location is five miles
from the center of Redlands and about
one mile from Mentone.

year, worth 25 cents each, and to set

yield on the third year would be 81 200

$24. $40, figuring four pounds to the tree.

New Fumigating Apparatus.

New Fumfgatfng Apparatus.
B. J. Perry, county horticultural COM
missioner, residing at Anaheim, was in
Santa Ana today, says the Blade, with
the design for the new fumigating ap-
paratus now in use in Riverside and in
vented by G. w. Finch OF that city.
The apparatus coneists simply of, two
uprights of 2x3 timber, long enough to
extend several feet above the tops of the
orange trees, resting on six-foot base
of the same lumber. A two-inch pulley
at the top, in front, and another two
inch sliding pulley, with hook attached,
and guy rope from the top of the
upright at the back, and about 125
feet of rope to each derrick, is all there
is to the rigging. The tent will be a
forty-foot one, octagonal in shape, with
nine-foot flaps. At the inside edge of the
flaps a rope is sewed in and two rings
sewed in near the end of the rope.
When tree is to be covered the up
rights are laid on each side of the tree
and with shove sent to an upright
position, where they are held by the
guys; they are then leaned over the tree
30 that the tent will not rub when
raised. The hooks are caught in the
rings and the cloth raised to the top of
the derricks; the derricks are then
pulled over by the back guy and the
tent falls over the tree.
Mr.. Perry says that four men to one
derrick can Keep eight to ten tents run
nlng; that minute to a minute and a
half is all that ia needed to cover tree,
and the same time to remove the tent.
The apparatus is muchsless expensive
than the old derrick, much speedier and
lighter. One small. one-horse spring
wagon is all that is needed to remove
the apparatus from one orchard to an
other, and all other moving can be done
by hand.
Mr.. Perry came down today to get
Mr.. Bishop to cut a tent. The appara-
tus will soon be put to work here, and
all are invited to come and see it.

Republican national committee would
have been instantly repudiated.
There was no excuse for this surrender
to the Weaverites; there was TO intimida-
ton or fraud impending in any OF these
Western states that made fusion necessary
to secure an honest vote. In the South

dertaken too late, this bargain did not
succeed, but il succeeded in Kansas, North
Dakota, Idaho and Colorado. The De-
mocratic voters in these states seem to

make such proposition to the Repub-

would be received with indignation and
derision; it would be totally impossible to
deliver the goods" But the Democratic
managers not only dare undertake it. but
they successfully execute their design.
The event proves that the Democracy did
not need this abject. unprincipied bargain,
sale and surrender. but its execution
shows how doubtful the managers felt Of
success and how shameless was their party

Precautions Axains. Choler. Invasion.

Erastus Wiman In North American Review.
The country would in . certain sense be
the loser to the extent of the many
millions which immigration is supposed
to be worth. But, on the other hand, it
would be the gamer by permitting Its own
people to do the work at remunerative
prices, which these immigrants now do at
starvation figures. The safety In the mat
ter of health would be enormously pro-
NOTED by the total cessation of immigra-
ton, though step so radical could hardly
be advocated. Nevertheless. the country
at large would approve of q policy so
sweeping as to effectually protect the health
Of the whole body. by ceasing to expose it

an extent; but most thorough and

selection of immigration, and the heartiest
cooperation of the various transportation
companies should be obtained. by force if
necessary, to limit tho arrivals, not only
to those who are desirable, but to those
whose health. cleanliness and antecedents
are ascertained. Precautions of an extra
ordinary nature should also be taken IS to
importations, and consular certificates
should only be granted to well-established
firms, which should be held responsible for
the character Of the goods shipped. It
may be difficult to ampify and enforce
rigid regulations of this character, but as
will be seen by the extent of the disaster
which threatens. and the enormous loss
that might follow. there is hardly any pre-
caution which could be taken by legisla-
ton or governmental interference which
should not be made available during the
coming year; There is happily less to fear
ever before. 1t is believed that there are
numerous diseases in the country that are
far more dangerous than cholera, yet the
