WEST FIRST STREET.

What Reporter Saw in HaIf-Hour's
Walk Beyond Qnebec Street.
Hearing a good deal said about the
condition of First street, west OF Quebec
street, which was recently graveled and
graded and accepted as such by the re-
Gently ousted street superintendent, the
HERALD yesterday dispatched reporter
to look over the ground and examine it
carefully. Coming on the back of severe
rains, like those of the past week, the
opportunity was not a good one, but 1t
ia hardly proper in any event to put 1T
down as a we'll graveled street.
After leaving the electric car at Bon.
ME Brae street the reporter walked leis-
urely westward, and was sstonished to
find that the graveling had moved west
ward. In fact, requires q good deal OF
courtesy to call it gravel. 1t is species
of coarse sand. decomposed form OF
granite or quartz, it is hard to say
which. The term gravel should, in the
belief of men accustomed to the life of
placer miner. consist of small, hard
stones which may vary from half an
inch to two inches in diameter and hard
as any rock. The material which has
been placed upon First street, between
Quebec and Dillon streets, is light
and frisble compound, liable to be
ground into an impslpsble powder by
heavy vehicles passing over it; and to
blow away in the summer winds and
disappear in cloud of dust as volatile
as that of the Mojave desert.
The contract calls for uniform coat
ing of gravel, eight inches in thickness.
In some places this alleged gravel is less
than three inches deep, while in other
places it is of the depth required, nota-
bly, at the foot of heavy grades.
The big fill which extends from New
hall street to Rosemont avenue is in
wretched condition and constantly cav
ing into the wide gulch which it is de-
signed to span.
At the intersection of First street and
Rosemont avenue, there are three eec-
tions of vitrified earthen pipe broken
and lying in the gulch below, having
evidently been broken by the caving Of
the big dump. The cur bstone work
along the street appears to
have been properly done but
it is absolutely necessary for curb to
be set on substantial foundation also,
which does not appear to be the case at
the crossing of Dillon street, where
three sections of artificial stone curb
have been broken off, caused by the
earth being washed out from under
them by the late rains. The middle of
the street is also very much impaired by
the came agency, having evidently been
caused by the overflow of small lagoon
on the north side of First street at that
point. With the curb work there is no
fault to be found, other than the ap-
parent lack of foundation, but the
graveling is remarkable for the con-
spicuous absence of gravel in its compo-
sftfon. In all. the work might be called
fairly good country road, but hardly fit
to be called well graveled street in a
metropolitan city like Los Angeles.

To Miners,

Professor Comstock of the school OF
mines, says the Tucson Star. which is q
branch of the University of Arizona, has
issued circular requesting the trans
mission to him of sample lots of ore
from one eack to five tons, for treat
ment. The product of the ores will be
placed in bottles and carefully labeled
with the name and location OF the mine,
name of owner, character of ore, it's
treatment and the result. These re-
suits will form part of the exhibit at
the worlds fair. II the owner requests
it information will be furnished him
of the best process by which to work
his ores and the result OF the reduc-
ton.
All ore must be landed at the Uni
versity, freight charges prepaid. No
other expense will attach. Each ex-
hibit will be accompanied by a sample
Of the ore in its original state. No ores
will be received later than February
18th. Address Theo. 3. Comstock,

MINES AND MINERALS.
A VALUABLE MARBLE QUARRY
FOUND IN ANTELOPE VALLEY.
Plenty of Material for Los Angeles
Buildings The Bunker Hill
Mine-An Arizona
Exhibit.

Another industry has lately sprung
up in this valley, says the Lancaster
Gazette, along with the grain fields,
fruit orchards, vineyards. stock ranges,
gold mining, plaster and cement quar-
ries, lime kilns, etc., all OF which are
here, but could be worked much more
extensively than they are. We now
refer to the marble quarry of the An
telope Valley marble company, in the
west end of the valley. This quarry OF
marble is owned by r. A. Guthrie, A..
V. Bradley. A. r. Sprague, E. W. Edison
and f W. Spencer.
Some time ago the writer was on the
quarry, and outcroppings indicated az
unlimited supply of this valuable rock.
To test their property the company
recently began work in earnest in open
ing up the quarry. They now have six
men at work, and the other day blast
was put in which threw up over 1000
cubic feet of marble and exposed seam
eight feet thick and indicates bound
less quantity of the highest grade OF
marble. Monday we were shown by
Capt. Edson come of the marble pol
ished from the rough, and it had the
highest order of finish. The marble is
of different colors, the mottled cream,
bule and pink.
Last week John Rebman, the mann
moth building contractor of Los An
geles, was up here looking at the quarry,
and contracted for large quantity for
Millionaire Stimson's new block in Los
Angeles, provided the company could
guarantee sufficient quantity. Since
then the blast has shown there is
enough for 100 blocks, and Los An
geles will be enabled to gaze in ad-
miration at magnificent block finished
with Antelope valley material.
E A. Smith, the marble expert OF
Los Angeles, was up the fret of the
week examining the rock, and he says
it is of the very best quality and
susceptible of higher polish than
any American marble he ever examined.
When the scarcity of good marble in
this country is known, and that the
marble for the Los Angeles court house
WAS shipped from North Carolina, it
may be seen that the value of the
quarry is great and that this valley has
another valuable industry added to it's
long list, and may find us prospering
and ready to supply tombstones when
the rest of the world is dead.

MrN Anna Bancroft of Los Angeles
has been appointed as member Of the
arrangement and decorative committee
OF the woman's building at the Chicago
worlds fair. She leaves next Sunday.
Mr.. M. j. Ashmore, who has most
efhclently served the state as deputy sn
preme court clerk in this city, has been
relieved as before noted. Mr.. Ashmore's
ability is beyond question, and it was on
no OASIS detrimental to him that the

Ashmore will remain in this city.
Among the arrivals at the Redondo
hotel in the latter part of November
were Mr.. and Mrs. Calvin w. johnson
OF Portland, Ore. For the past nine
years he has been superintendent (pro.
NOTED from roadmaster) of all the Union
Pacific lines within that state. The
severe winters and long protracted rains
had made their inroads upon him, and.
although he looked quite strong, he be-
gan to feel the necessity of seeking a
mllder climate. About year ago he
purchased a river steamer whose pessen-
ger license had been revoked but was
still allowed to carry freight and tow
oarges. His only son being nearly 10
years old, he put him on her as General
business manager; then hired
pilot until such time as the boy should
be qualified to take command. He then
came down here and began to take real
sohd comfort and put in three or four
gays OF every week in seeking out nice
location for quiet home. Last Satur-
gay ne received telegram from Port
iand stating that his son had fallen over
poard and been drowned. Mr.. and Mrs.

The New Gold Camp.

Vanderbilt, the new camp of the
Mojave desert, gives promise, says the
San Bernardino Courier, of becoming
the greatest mining town ever known
in the county. Two of its mines have
been bonded by San Francisco parties
for $40 600 each, and as the mines ap-
pear TO become richer as the sinking
progresses the chances are that both
will be sold. At present the ore must
be shipped to Needles at a cost for
freight OF $40 per ton. When capital
takes hold and builds mill this item
OF expense will be saved. The town 81

have been a charge upon the city,
beg leave to submit the following
partial report: We have not inves-
tigated the city's hospital build
ing, for the want of an eX-
pert's opinion, and would
recommend that your hon
or advertise for bids for the re-
pair of the same. We find that
there are numbers of sick people at
the Sante Rosa hospital, who have
been there past the time when
they should be charge upon the
city, and by repairing the city hos
pital, a great expense can be saved,
and a better handling of them can
be arrived at. The matter was
referred to special committee
consisting of Alderman A. +. Beck
mann, w. =. Goodloe and the city
engineer for report at the meet
ing of the city council to be held

MACKEY'S BOND RESOLUTION.
Alderman Mackey Introduce
the following resolution:
"Resolved, that The mayor and the
finance committee suggest the
kind of bonds to be issued to the
amount of S250,000 to be voted on
by the taxpayers of San Antonio,
at as early date as possible, for
the purpose of street improve
ments, work to be given to each
ward in this city, under the super
vision of the alderman of said
ward, and street commissioner the
aldermen of the general wards to
secure the names of all the poor
| people in their wards,and the men
having families to be given the
preference, and all be given work
as soon as possible. If some wards
should have more poor and needy
persons in them than others, let
the work be so divided that it will
do most good, and all done under
the general superintendency of
the mayor and city council.
Alderman Mackey then spoke
at length relative to the resOlu-
ton, showing the great necessity
of the city to furnish the poor peo-
pie with some kind of ployment
in order that they may provide for
their families during the approach
ing winter.
Alderman Newton favored the
ding of the labOring class, but
was not in favor of bonding the
city to such an amount for street
improvements.
Alderman Daugherty was in ia
vor of bonding the city for a
| smaller amount.
Mayor Paschal stated that the
city could be bonded in the sum of
80 of the assessed valuation and
that If the proposition of Alderman
Mackey were carried, it would dc
away with the sewerage bonds to
| be voted on.
| Finally after much talk, the
resolution was referred to the
finance and public improvement
| committee.
Council then adjourned.
