THE NEW SMELLING WORKS.

The projected reduction works for Los
Angeles are now q fixed fact. Ground
for the site was broken yesterday, and
the erection of the establishment will be
commenced at once.
In the local columns will be found a
general statement of what the company
expects to do. Mr.. Frederic M. End
Itch, the general manager of the COM
pany, paid us pleasant visit yesterday,
and we had quite a conversation in re-
gard to the accessibility of Los Angeles
to very extended mineral region. Mr..
Endlich ia, like everybody else, aston
ished that this city should have
been 30 long without reduction
works. 1t is fact that for
ten years the rich ores of Calico
and other districts at our very door,
have been taken by rail to San Francis
co for reduction; whilst Arizona miners
have sent their ores to Kansas City, and
even as far as Newark, New Jersey, to
be treated. With the advantage of
short and cheaper transportation which
Los Angeles enjoys, it is certainly as
tonishipg that smelters and refiners
have not before this seen their opportu-
nifty here for the establishment of profit
able works. The HERALD has for years
called the attention of capitalists to the
facts of our situation, and been very
constant in showing the folly of carrying
the ores of our vicinity from 500 to 5000
miles away to be reduced.
1t remained, however, for the gentle
men who have organized the Southern
California Smelling and Refining COM
pany to take the first practical steps to
build up here new industry which
cannot but prove remunerative. The
Districts that are now furnishing ore,
and which are already connected with
this city by rail, are numerous and ex-
tensive. To these will soon be added
another extensive strip of mineral terri.
tory which is rich in ores that must be
refined. A railroad to Utah-which is
inevitable in the near future--will open
to us great number of fine mineral dis
tricts that are now dormant for want of
transportation. Smelling and refining
works at this point will necessarily re-

A TRAMP'S CRIME.
HE TRIES TO ASSAULT MRS. PEAR
son, OF PASADENA.
She Was Seized ON the Street by an
Unknown Man, who Tried to
Chloroform Her-Rescued
by Her Brother.

A bold assault was made in Pasadena
last evening, between and O'Clock, by
tramp. on an estimable married lady,
Mrs. James Pearson. She was wheel
ing baby carriage, in which was her
little child, along South Raymond
avenue, near the opera house, when a
man suddenly jumped out from the
brush along the sidewalk and took hold
of her. She was greatly frightened and
screamed. The fellow caught her about
the throat and choked her, at the same
time attempting to chloroform her with
handkerchief saturated with the drug.
The lady is quite strong, and strug-
gled with the miscreant, who was, how
ever, overpowering her, when her
brother, Charley Garlich, came to her
assistance. His residence is near by,
and he heard her screams. Rushing
out to see what was the matter, he saw
woman struggling in the hands of
man, and when he approached found
that it was his sister.
Al his approach the fellow ran away.
Mr.. Garlich pursued him for nearly
quarter of mile, but in the dusk the
tramp got away.
Mrs. Pearson described the man as
poorly dressed in gray suit of clothes.
He was of medium size, and wore
slouch hat. She was SO excited and
terrified thatshe could not tell minutely
the appearance of her aseailant, the at
attack having made in the dusk of the
the evening, but she is sure
she could identify him if she saw him
again.
Afterwards the handkerchief with
which the fellow had attempted to
chloroform his Intended victim was
found near the scene of tho encounter,
still redolent with fumes of the drug.
About o'clock a horse belonging to
Joseph Simone, which was hitched in
an alley in the vicinity, was stolen, and
it is believed that the thief and Mrs.
Pearson's assailant are one and the
same person.

THE HERALD called attention to the
dilatoriness of District Attorney Mac
Lachlan in failing to iseue warrant for
the arrest of Contreras, youth of six
teen, and accused of committing a fright
full outrage on little girl only six years
old. AS usual, the Express rushed to
the defence of the district attorney, and
denounced the HERALD for daring to
question the acts of that official. The
district attorney, said the Defender OF
the Ring Faithful, was waiting for fur
ther information. However, he issued
the warrant yesterday, and when it
came to serving it, the youth was found
to have skipped. With two clear days
in which to cut his stick, it is small
wonder that the accused made himself
scarce. Meanwhile, the abused little
girl is in aprecarious condition.

A Man Who Wanted to Bet on Harrison
Weakens.
The Express of Friday afternoon pub
lished bluff of $1,000 to be bet that
Harrison would be elected. A respon-

place, and arranged with the money
holder (who said he had it for the pur-
pose) to call by his place of business
yesterday morning, and to make bank
president the stakeholder. The Demo-

bank $1,000 in gold and kept it in readi-

The Russian officer who Made Them
Was Crazy.
VICTORIA, B. c., Oct. 22.-Captain De
la Veron, of the Russian cruisur Sea-
diakias, who has been making seizures
of sealers, is said to have been pro-
nounced insane by the governor of Ber-
ing eisland. He is also said to have been
discharged from the Russian navy.
Many sealing men welcome the informa-
tion, as throwing food of light upon
the situation. Others are inclined to
be skeptical and say, finding it's
position untenable, the Russian govern
ment ANONYMOUSLY shifted the blame
to the captains shoulders and pro-
nounced him insane, to avoid inter-
national difficulty. Upon one point
both parties are agreed; that the infor-
nation from the governor of Bering
island being true, the government ofthe
czar cannot avoid making restitution in
full to the sealers.

Cry OF Mexico, Oct. 22.-One Of the
features OF the new financial policy OF
Secretary OF the Treasury Romero is to
grant no more concessions for operating

failed to comply with the stipulations OF
the articles of the grants.

THE San Diego Union short time ago
said that the Southern Pacific Railroad
company, having been unable to secure
the influence of Bowers in congress, was
now using money to defeat his return to
that body. The inference plainly was
that Welborn was the candidate to be
benefited by the use of money. This
may be very eficacious newspaper
way of boosting Bowers and injuring
the Democratic candidate in the seventh
district; but the Banning Herald of
Thursday neatly turns the tables on the
Union by showing that Bowers not only
travels himself on free pass on the
Southern Pacific, but franks his family
besides. The Herald then asks:
Is there any specific reason why Bow
.ers should receive favors from the
Southern Pacific company We think
there is. The Pacific Mail Steamship
company has been discriminating
against San Diego, and during the last
session of congress Bowers started in to
make blooded fight to compel the Pa
cife mail to do justice to San Diego.
Towards the close of the session he
dropped the fight like a quitter, and the
only explanation he ever gave was that
he received kilograms from San Diego
asking him to quit. Up to date he has
not produced those kilograms. Now,
Coils 2. Huntington, who owns the
major portion of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship company, is president of the
Southern Pacific railway company.

the rapid rate at which the population
of this city and county is increasing.
An increase of IA per cent in one year is

that both in city and county there is

The chamber of commerce has pre-.
pared the draft of two bills. One seeks
to lessen the burden on the taxpayers
of the delinquent tax sales. The other
provides that the boards of supervisors,
and all other bodies which are author
lied to expend the money of the county,
shall cauee to be published monthly in
the two city papers having the largest
circulation, an account of all public ex'
penditures. Both OF these measures are
urgently needed. and they are both in
the interest of the hard-bested tax
payer. The chamber proposes to pre-
sent these bills to the several candi-
dates for the legislature, and to obtain
pledges that they shall be passed at the
next session OF the Legislature. There
ought to be no difficulty in obtaining
the assent of all these gentlemen to the

Believed That There Is An Error In the
Registration Lists.
There is discrepancy somewhere in
the voting lists this year, which it would
be well for the democratic managers
to look into at once. On the list of 1891
there were 6,272 voters. OF this list
1 ,O97 have either died, left the city or
were transferred. Added to the list
were S14, falling off from the list of
2s3. Adding to the 6,a7s the number
of voters made this year. !, 1872, it should
leave the total 1914, less 2S3 which
would leave 1851. The lists only foot
up 7,242, a discrepancy of 119. The
various wards are as follows: First
ward, left town, dead or transferred
271; added 200. Second ward, erased
242; added 206. Third ward, erased
252; added 219. Fourth ward
erased 1872; added 1870. A comparison OF
the four wards for 1891 and 1892 would
show as follows: 1891, first ward l 1862
second 1,479, third 1,543 and fourth
$3.50. This year, first ward $3.50, seconC
sos, third 1917. fourth 2,Os1. Thil
would leave only 1872 voters made in the
fourth ward. 1t is almost certain tina
more than that number were made il
that ward, but where are they?

JOHN POWERS MISSING.
Has Been Drinking and is Accused of
Wrong Doing.

Has Been Drinking and is Accused OF
Wrong Doing.
The saloon at No 142 South Main street,
seems to have been started under an I'M
lucky star. Several times it has changed
hands, the present proprietor being
Edgar Huntley. He has not conducted
the saloon himself, but has been running
a cigar business in Milburn, New
Hampshire. He put in charge of the
saloon one John Powers, and rumors as
to the running of the place have
been rife. Within a few days auntley
sent Powers $500, the license money
for the coming year. Powers immedi-
ately started in for a good time.
When he returned yesterday he
found Constable O'Brien awaiting
him with writ of attachment for a
cigar firm in Suffield, Conn. Powers
settled the amount of the bill, 500. To-
day Powers disappeared and with him,
it is said, what remained of the $500, a
suit of clothes and an overcoat belong
ing to a young man named Hurley.
Nothing could be learned at the saloon,
except that Powers had gone to Provi-
dence and would probably not return.
