WAS UNREQUITED LOVE.
THE REASON WHY JOSEPH ANNIE
BLANC SHOT HIMSELF.
He shoots Himself In q Box Car of a
Moving Southern Pacific Freight
Train and Endeavors to
Blow His Brains Out.

Joseph Anne Blanc has self-inficted
bullet wound in the head, from which
there is small probability of his re-
covering. He is lying at the receiving
hospital Of the city Jail, and the doctors
state that he cannot possibly recover,
although at s O'Clock last evening he
was conscious.
The would-be suicide committed his
foolish deed about 4 80 yesterday morn
ing, in the freight yards of the Southern
Pacific depot. He was alone at the
time, and it was several hours before he
was given medical attention.
Blanc must lave been in peculiar
frame OF mind when the idea of commit
ting suicide struck him. Anyway he got
into box car on train that was going
out, and shut the door. Then he placed
a pistol to his head and fred what now
looks to be the fatal bullet.
The train men heard the shot fired,
but it took them some time to find out
from whence it came. AS soon as il
was ascertained that Blanc had shot
himself the police were notified and he
was taken to the receiving hospital in
the patrol wagon.
Blanc was 20 years of age. 1t ia quite
evident that the reason he attempted tc
take his own life was because of disap-
pointed love. He is a nephew of Pierre
Nicolas, wealthy Frenchman living
near Fullerton. and the owner Of the
Nicolas blocks, on Upper Main street, ir
this city.
1t ia said that Blanc was in love with
his cousin, Miss Nicolas. She returned
bis affection, but her parents would no
consent to her marriage with him OF
| the ground that the relationship between
| the two was too close.
Blanc ia a native of Aucelle, canton Of
| St. Bonnet (Hautes-Alpes), France. He
was highly connected and young mar
of good repute. He had been living
while in Los Angeles at 228 Also street
OF late he has been acting rather strange
and it is believed that he was partially
| insane.

JABBEp HIM WITH A KNIFE.

Thomas Reynolds Assaults William
Csrnahan in Saloon.
Thomas Reynolds was arrested at
O'Clock last evening on a charge of as
sault. He became engaged in row
with William M. Csrnahan in saloon
on North Main street, opposite the old
Pico house. Reynolds, as the argument
grew warm, drew small knife and
jabbed it into Carnahan's breast.
AS soon as the alleged assault was
committed both men were arrested and
taken to the police station. Reynolds
was booked for assault. Carnahan's
wound is slight one.

MECHANICS SCARCE.

Contractors Complain That They Have
Dfficulty in Getting Labor.
For some time past building has been
very brisk in Los Angeles. Dwelling
houses have been going up in every
part of the city, and the boom in con-
struction is .still on, with no signs of
abating. Business blocks are appearing
in available parts of the city as we'll as
residences.
The result Of all this building on the
part of private citizens, when considered
in connection with the public work
which is going on-the outfall sewer,
grading and paving--is that the Los An
gelea labor market is remarkably brisk.
In fact, good mechanics are wanted here
in the building trades, and they are
wanted badly.
In San Francisco and the up-country
cities the labor market is dull. Here
lust the reverse is the case.

Soldiers home," said Contractor Joseph
Falkenham yesterday. 81 want 20 adj
ditional men and want them badly. /

EPIscoPALIAN CONFERENCE


To Discuss the Election OF an Assistant
Bishop for this Section.
The Episcopal ministers throughout
the southern parishes will hold con-
ference in st. Paul's parish house on
May 18th, at 8 p. m. The meeting ia
called for the purpose of voting whether
or not an assistant bishop will be
elected, to reside in this city. 1t is
thought by some that the duties Of
Bishop Nichols are becoming too numer-
GUS and should be abbreviated. The
most feasible means for the accomplish
ment of this, being the appointment of
an assistant bishop for Southern Cali
fornia, with headquarters at Los An
geles. 1t is hoped by large number of
the pastors here that this section will
not lose Bishop Nichols, but If it is
ascertained that he needs assistance the
elelection Of the Southern California
bishop will be made.

No Intimidation.

It is related that at the bar of one of the Australian colonies a barrister con- cluded his speech thus: At great length. gentlemen of the jury, have stated the reasons which cause me to believe in the prisoners innocence and to regard him as a personal friend. Gentlemen, the prisoner in the dock is my very dear personal friend, and if he falls by your hands I will avenge his honor and my loss As gentleman of an ould Irish family, who can snuff can dles with a revolver at twelve paces. I call upon you to place my friend right in the eyes of society. leave the case in your hands, feeling satisfied that you will not accuse me of employing the language of menace, when have done no more than hint at some of the natur- al consequences of verdict adverse to my conscientious opinion.

Tombstone epitaph., 1893-02-15

THE only charge made against l.. c, Hughes by those opposed to him is that he at one time refused to act with his party and sntagonized it through one campaign. Ii Cleveland should pay any attention 10 such a charge he certainly would not act con- sistently in asking Gresham to a seat in his cabinet. The latter has been opposed to Democratic principles on more than one occasion and manifest ed it by open warfare upon its nomIn- ees. The PRosPEcToR points with pride to the fact that in 1888 it put to sleep a SO called Democratic ticket in Cochise county. Although there were some good men on that ticket, the leaders of it headed by Barnes, who was then on the bench, were strangling the party by their methods and they were taught lesson that they remembered for four years at least. A part of the same crowd of would-be wreckers of decent politics sought to gain control of the machin- cry of this county last month, but were again defeated. There are times when all Democrats and Republicans are callel upon to purify their ranks by "castIng odt devils" and those who have that task to perform and do not shirk their duty should reap their reward when the harvest comes. The circular by which an injury is sought to be done to L. c. Hughes in bIs separations for governor will prove to be an argument m hls favor when the truth of the whole matter is known.
Tombstone epitaph., 1893-02-15

AN anonymous circular is being distributed over the territory, in which L. c. Hughes is the object of it's thrusts. The fact that the authors of it were too cowsrdly to sign a name to i, stamps it as wicked lie, and those who are responsible for it as towards. The Gazette intimates that Barnes and his clique are the fathers of it. Whether this be so or not, it is certain that nothing is too low or contempt ible for that fellow to instigate.

THE TIN MINES OF AMERICA.
Where They Are Located and Their Pro-
 portions of Value.


 The tin bearing lodes are for the most part on the western side of the Black Hills, among the older schists. and are of very different degrees of value. Some of them are of enormous thickness. exceeding one hundred feet, but the cassiterite is not equally dis tributed in them. It is found in strings, and patches, and sheets, and many of the veins and large parts of others con tain none. They dip into the ground at high angles-usually about seventy de- grees-in this respect resembling the lodes of Cornwall, and their working will consequently be very similar. lm- mense quantities of cassiterite exist in hills. The granite veins are very nu- merous. and Q large proportion of them are more or less stanniferous, says a writer in the Engineering Magazine. But the percentage, as elsewhere, is very low. about equaling the average yield of the Cornish mines at present in operation. It is not easy to give fig urcs. but sanguine estimate might put forth at two per cent, and probably in order to attain this some of the poorer mineral must be excluded.
 The granite of the Temescal range in San Bernadino county, Cal, has yielded small quantities of tin ore and a few rich specimens. In 1861 consid- erable exploration was made in the re- giOn, and this has recently been re- newed But so far as is known the con ditions of the occurrence of the mineral do not differ from those obtained else where Maine, Alabama, Massachu- setts. Virginia and South Carolina have at various times yielded show of cas- siterite and always in close connection with primitive rocks.
