GOOD USE FOR TWO FUNDS.

The money advanced by California dur
ing the rebellion for arming and equip
ping troops amounted to $2,451, 1865. 56
on which sum California has been pay
ing interest to the school fund for over
twenty-five years. The account was ex'
amined by the war department and
found correct, and the committees on
war claims in both the senate and house
of representatives have recommended
the payment of the same, and it is on
the calendar in both houses. Again.
the bill for paying California per cent
of the proceeds on sales of public lands
in this state has passed the senate and
would give the state about $500, ,000-all
of which has to 60 to the school fund,
according to the terms of our first con-
stitution. If these two amounts are
realized they must be let out on interest,
as they cannot go into the general fund.
The question will then arise as to when
and how it shall be loaned to the best
advantage and do the most good to the
people at large. No better proposition
can be presented than to loan it to the
irrigation districts organized under the
Wright law, when all the land
in the district is pledged as Sc
curity, and would yield six per
cent interest for the school fund,
thereby diminishing the annual school
tax on the state an equivalent amount
and be an investment for twenty years.
At the present time the state, with no
better or safer security, has to loan its
school funds at lower rate of interest
where nothing like as much good to the
general prosperity OF the country results
as would come from ioaning it to the
irrigation districts. California, Oregon
and Nevada are the only states that have
not been reimbursed for advances made
to the government during the war OF the
rebellion. Is it for lack of diligence on
the part OF our representatives?
Through the absence of several Cali
fornia representatives when the vote
was had in the house on the bill giving
the state five per cent on the sales OF
public lands, it was lost, but the senate
will doubtless pass the item and the
house can then repair its negligence.
There would be peculiar appropriate
ness in such an application of the:e two
sums. 1t would benefit both the state
treasury and meritorious class of our
people. Most of the irrigation bonds as
things go now are sold outside of the
state, and the yearly interest charge
goes mainly to the east. All the money
we can keep in California is SO much
gained, and will aid in upbuilding the
commonwealth. 1t would be inexcus-
able negligence to allow either of these
appropriations to fail. They rightfully
belong to our people and they have been
too long delayed already.

THERE will be an important meeting
at the chamber of commerce at 3 O'Clock
this afternoon to urge upon congress the
necessity of making an adequate appro.
priation for the improvement of the
harbor of San Pedro. There ought to
be large attendance, and the ou u.giving
of that body should have no uncertain
voice in view of the fact that the senate
committee on harbors and appropria-
tions are just now engaged in consider
ing the sums to be allotted to the
several government improvements now
in course of construction on this
coast. 1t is quite apparent that
we shall be compelled to rely
on ourselves and upon such assist
ance as we can hope to receive from the
two California senators, both of whom,
unfortunately for the interests of South
ern California, able and influential as
they are. live in San Mateo county.
Senator FELTON, has announced his will
ingness tQgive his cordial cooperation
to our people in their efforts to have
proper consideration accorded to San
Pedro, and Senator Stanford will in all
likelihood have friendly feeling to
port with WHICH his road has had such
an intimate connection. A strong me.
mortal and concerted action ers needed
at this conjuncture.

Col. DAN BURNS met a disastrous de-
feat at the Stockton convention. De
Young, of the Chronicle, not only won,
but he loudly proclaims his victory in
his paper. There is some question as
to the wisdom OF this course. Burns is
an enemy whom it will hardly do to
fout. The predicament OF Estee is
certainly very notifying one. He
has been spoken of for position in
Harrison's cabinet. To have failed as a
delegate to the Minneapolis convention,
after having presided over the Chicago
convention that nominated Harrison. is
big drop. 1t will scarcely emphasize
his claims with the official chief OF his
party. Considering his continuous and
undoubtedly valuable party services, the
result is surprising. His close affilia-
ton with Burns has certainly not bene-
fited him thus far. Burns's innings
will come in on the senatorial fight
should the Republicans elect majority
of the legislature.

THE telegraph nowadays, outside Of an
occasional casualty like that which oc-
Cured on the Santa Fe railway day be.
fore yesterday, contains little that inter-
ests the average reader. An endless
succession of doings of conventions,
mainly Republican, fills up the columns
of the daily press. These all point to
the denomination of Harrison, and on
the first ballot. The only thing of note
in these monotonous proceedings are the
spontaneous tributes to Blaine. This is
a new departure in American politics,
and they show how easily the Plumed
Knight could have commanded the
nomination ii he had desired to
do 80. The uniform coupling of
his name in the resolutions which ac-
claim Harrison's administration must
be great source of pride to Blaine, his
family and the legions of friends which
his personal magnetism has secured to
the secretary of state.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Captain Therese, Planquette's latest
opera, was produced last night by the
Agnes Huntington company, at the
Grand opera house, to fashionable
audience. There are some sprightly
lyrical numbers in the opera, severa
interpretations and plenty of reminiscent
music, that calls to mind the work OF
Arthur Sullivan, Strauss and Cellier.
The Moon song from Pinafore, and the
waltz from Merry War, are strongly sug
gested. The libretto and general effect
as to pleasing the audience, however.
give this opera precedence over Paul
Jones.
Miss Huntington in the title role gave
queenly impersonatlon. Her rich,
resonant contralto was heard to superb
advantage in her opening aria, the Or
chestration of which is simply delicious.
Her solo in the second act was like wise
delightful and excited twohearty encores.
Miss Huntington has taken a strong
hold on the affections of the people OF
Los Angeles, who hope to see her again
with better environments.
Mr.. Mostyn as Colonel Sombrero ranked
next in point of genuine merit. He
thoroughly and funnily sustained the
personlity of the doughty warrior. Mr..
James as the notary seems to be overflow
ing with burlesquine. Mr.. Elder as Philip
sang his music very acceptably; his
interpellated solo was given with a great
deal of finish and feeling, albeit he
was trife awkward in a shape suit.
Mr.. Thorne as Tancrede sang badly but
danced gracefully. Miss Marsden as
Herminie, Miss Chapuy as Marcellaine
and Miss Cassell as Claudine were very
good in their respective roles. The
chorus did better work in spots than in
Paul Jones. The finale of the second
act. really beautiful movement, was
distinctly marred by large contingent
losing knowledge of the peculiar tempt
and getting off the key. Musical
Director Perlet deserves great credit for
Napoleonic efforts in the orchestra. The
costumes and scenic effects were pictur-
esque and beautiful. Captain Therese
will be repeated tonight.

MoDEsTY is the bane of Los Angeles.
We have been pottering along for twenty
years with trifing appropriations for
work on San Pedro harbor, and rested
patient under the pismiric appropria-
ton of $3.50, 900 to build cupboard of a
federal building in this city, whilst less
important points are getting away with
royal appropriations because they have
the "cheek' to ask for them, and rep
resentatives and senators who are
persistent in insisting upon them.
Humboldt bay has a continuous
appropriation of $1,750,000 for
harbor improvement. and Portland,
not satisfied with an appropriation OF
81 800, 900 for public building, asked,
through one Of her senators yesterday,
for an additional $3.50, 900! At total
expenditure of 100000 we have secured
harbor at San Pedro with seventeen
feet Of water at the entrance where two
and half feet was its greatest depth
when the work first began. Notwith-
standing the splendid results from the
small amount of money spent there, it
is proposed to put us off this year with
miserable $4,000. AS long as South
ern California is dominated in congress
by representatives and senators from
the north, we may expect to chew the
cud of sweet and bitter disappointment.
Yet it is doubtful if under any circum-
stances we could rise to the sublimity
of cheek shown by our friends up the
coast.

to see the party Of great moral ideas
hunting out good-sized barrels. Just
now they are,on little still hunt for a
candidate for vice president. Levi p.
Morton, having tried the experiment,
and having paid dear for his whistle, is
supposed to be restive about putting up
the requisite amount OF cash to secure a
second term. Besides, there is an un.
written law which says that no vice.
president shall ever be twice nomi-
mated. 1t has been possible, although
the event has been rare in our his.
tory, for vice-president to become
president, but he never succeeds him
self even up to the point OF nomination.
OF course the Republican nominee for
both president and vice-president will
be beaten in any event, but there is no
harm in speculating who will replace
Levi P. Morton on the Republican
ticket. As he is expected to have o
barrel of formidable dimensions, the
counsels of the two bankers whom we
have sent to Minneapolis from Califor-
mia, added to those of the other fnan-
ciers from all parts OF the union, will be
very useful in securing proper man to
carry the "bar'l." For the Minneapolis
convention will contain many of these
capitalists, and they will demand repre-.
sentative OF their order. The indications
now all point to William Walter Phelps,
Mr.. Harrison's minister to Germany.
He can furnish ducats galore to swell
the fat fried out from the manufacturers
and other protected industries.

THERE was something very compli-
mentary personally in the large vote by
which Hon. E. F. Spence, of this city,
was elected delegate-at-la to Min
neapolis. Our townsman is unquesti9n-
ably popular, and from party point of
view he deserved the recognition which
he has been accorded. At the same
time there ia something very peculiar in
the way bankers seemed to dominate the
Stockton convention. We all know that
Mr.. Spence is leading banker of Los
Angeles. Then there is Mr.. Rideout,
the other delegate-at-large, who received
the next largest vote. Nobody knows
much about Mr.. Rideout, but that faith
full chronicler of events, Mr.. M.
H. De Young, in an enthusiastic
biography of the elite of the
Stockton convention, tells ue that
he is the great banker Of Northern and
Central California-that he controls six
banks. 1t is not an extraordinary thing

THERE is one very marked difference
between those who have desired to see

who are the pronounced champions OF

along been able to see merit in other
aspirants, and have avowed their will
ingness to support the nominee of the
Chicago convention, be his name what
it may. AS much cannot be said of the
promoters of the ex-president's can
didacy. With most of them there seems
to be only one man in the Democratic
party.

THE CASTLE DISTRICT.
The Output of the Famous Cumberland
~ IncreaRed One.AalE.

The Outpu of the Famous Cumberland
Increased One-halE.
The people of Castle were very much
elated last week, says the Castle Tribune,
when it became known that the trustees of
the Cumberland Mining and Smelling oom-
pany had made an offer to purchase the
Yellowstone thirty-ton smelter. On Satur-
day last a bargain was struck. At once the
Cumberland people began the removal of
this plant to ground adjoining their own.
In another week it is expected it will be in
operation. When this plant previously re-
ducea orc for the Cumberland the run was
a great success. The average output for
ffty-six days during the sixty days it was
in operation was fourteen tom of bullion
daily. This new addition to the Cumber-
land reduction plant will increase the prod
anctSabout .ene-half. About the middle of
the present month this company will be
producing about thirty tons OF bullion each
twenty-four hours.
The mineral resources in this mine are
such as to be able to keep going for several
wears half a dozen furnaces OF the present
capacity. It was recently comput ed by a
Butte paper to be over half a million tons.
From the surface to the 60O-foot level. the
ore shoot has been prospected. On the 25O-
foot level it is about forty feet wide. One
hundred feet lower down, it proved to be
forty feet wide. On the next level, which
is at 800 feet, it is seventy feet. Still lower
down on the 60O-foot level the ore body is
over forty feet in width. The WINE that
was sunk in the foot wall of the ore shoot
has attained a depth of 200 feet. At this
point a station will be cut and a drift run
toward the mineral.
One of the chief characteristics of the
ore body of the Cumberland is its con-
tinuity. Seldom, if ever, has a carbonate
1an0Git haan Jncnvara1 in a limo fnrrp
ton that possesses as much regularity.
From the grass roots down to the lowest
levels the vein has a dip of tifty-two de-
grees. This is indicative of permanency.
While this n continues in the vein
mineral may be confidently expected in
massive quantities to a much greater
depth. t,
The, bullion shipments Of the Cumber-
land to the Aurora, ILL.,. reduction works
aggregate l27 carloads since the resump-
ton of smelter operations in June last.
With the increased smelling facilities by
reason of the purchase of the Yellowstone
company's smelter, the bullion output will
be much greater in the future than in the
past, necessltatiug a much larger number
of freight outfits to transport the bullion
and haul in coke and supplies. The op-
erations of the Cumberland company the
past season have fully demonstrated the re.
muneratlve carrying trade that would b,
assured to any company building a railroad
to that district, and there is little doub
that some company will avail itself of this
traffic before the close of another season.
