THE CITRUS FRUIr TARIFF.

The present tariff on imported citrus
fruit-oranges. lemons and limes--is, as
near as may be. ten cents cubic foot I;
that is to say, package measuring not
more than one and quarter cubic feet,
pays tariff tax of thirteen cents. A
package containing not to exceed two
and one-hslf cubic feet pays twenty-five
cents, and package OF five cubic feet,
fifty cents, and for any additional cubic
foot ten cents. II the fruit is imported
in bulk the tariff is dollar and half a
thousand.
This would seem to be tariff for rev.
nue. only. 1t is certainly low enough to
serve that purpose, and yet it affords q
little encouragement to the producers of
the fruit in this country. This tax
should certainly not be reduced, nor
should it be removed entirely. That
would not benefit the people of this
country; the foreign producers and i'm
porters of citrus fruits would, probably,
alone be benefited by their free importa-
tion. They would rsalizs more profit
and the government lose considerable
amount of revenue.
The raising of lemons is more nearly
an infant industry in this country than
orange growing. 1t needs, in order to
become fully established, the incidental
assistance that is afforded by this reve.
nue. tariff. Without that, Southern
California would be. in reference to this
promising industry, at disadvantage
in it's competition with Sicily, inas-
much as our transportation to the mar
kets of the Atlantic states, is much more
expensive by land, than from Sicily by
water. The European producers having
this advantage over us, should pay for
it in the way of revenue to the govern
ment. If they were required to pay a
somewhat higher duty than the law
now exacts it would be but fair and also
of advantage to this country, in the way
of encouraging product that will at no
distant day bring large revenue to
Southern California. Our representa-
tives in the two houses of congress will
learn, if they have not already observed
the fact, that the people who formulate
the tariff laws pay very little attention
to the interests OF the Pacific coast.

undertaken in THE line, except at Chi

idea of making use OF powerful search
lights, which sweep from one part of the
exposition to another, and with the
elaborate illumination OF the great cleo
trio tower and the outlining of all the
main buildings in electric lights, he has
also secured the famous electrical foun-
tain about which SO much has been
heard from visitors to the Columbian
Exposition. Considerable progress has
been already made on the building for
the northern counties, and it behooves
the people Of this section to hurry up

make the impression upon visitors that
we have the right to expect.

THE TEMPLE STREET GRADE.

1t is impossible to estimate the ulti-
mate advantage in every way to flow
from cutting down Temple street at
Bunker hill. This work was ordered
some time sgo and proceedings taken in
court to ascertain the damage to parties
owning property adjoining that part of
the street; but the award of damages in
most cases was go very high, and times
30 hard, that people dreaded the as
sesament, and the enterprise was sus-
pended for Tins. and as most people
thought, permanently. This. it is to be
sincerely hoped, is not the case. A
work of such transcendent Importance
to that street and to the people who use
that street for an entrance into the city,
should not be allowed to go to the tomb
of the Capulets. This bad hill is al
most in the center of the city, and if re-
duced as proposed, would make Temple
street one Of the active business streets.
As it is now, many more than a thousand
teams, great and small, pass over that
hill daily. but everybody breads it. In
going up or down horses are invariably
put upon walk. In ascending with a
load the struggle OF the animals is
sometimes terrible, particularly after a
rain or when the sprinkling cart has
been along. Descending the hill is
dangerous, especially when the vehicles
are not provided with brakes. Some
bad runawsys have occurred there, and
it will be rare good fortune ii lives are
not lost. Temple street is one of the
Oldest outlets of the city and would be,
perhaps, more used than any other il
put in such condition as the public con.
venience requires. ALI the people on
that street are more deeply interested
in the improvement than words can ex-
press. The question involved is

Mining News from Southern
California Places.
The Onyx Mines at New Pedrara in
Lower California.
Ventura Gold--The Ella Mine-Escon-
dido Gold Mine-Activity In Kern
County - Prospectors Going
TO the Desert.

San Diego Union: Professor George
S. Fellows of the New Pedraia Onyx
company arrived from the east yester-
day to make the second payment on the
purchase of the qusrries. Work was
temporarily suspended on October 18th
for various reasons, the main cause
being, probably, the fact that no sue
cessor to Superintendent Foote had
been found. 1t is possible that Profess
sor Fellows will again act as superin-
tendent of the business. 1t has been
announced that work will be resumed
within month upon larger scale than
ever. Heavier wagons will be procured
to transport the big blocks of onyx
from the mines to the ocean landing, q
distance of rs miles. Some of the blocks
now on the dump measure 4x4x6 feet,
and other pieces uncovered are OF much
larger proportion, one magnificent block
in particular measuring 10 feet in length
and being estimated as worth $4,000.
The company has acquired an entire
hill or mountain of onyx, the stone 'Iy-
ing in three lay ers, SO far as prospected,
and the beds extending to an unknown
width. The top layer is pearl white,
and from this most of the shipments
have been made. The second layer is
varicolored and less valuable, while the
third is of the beautiful translucent
greenish hue, bringing the highest price
in the market. The company's posses
sions, while comprising hundreds, of
thousands of tons already in sight, by no
means include all the onyx in that
neighborhood, as Messrs. George Foster
and William Denton of this city have
located large beds of the stone not far
from tas New Pedrara company's works.
Samples of onyx from the new finds
show the stone to be identical and
equally as valuable as the company's
quarries, some of it being of the much
priced greenish color.
The New Pedrara company, command
ing capital and being enthusiastic in the
development OF its property, will doubt
less be the means of attracting more
capital in the opening OF similar quar-
ries.

CERTAIN portions of the San Gabriel
valley have undoubtedly suffered by the
late severe weather in the citrus line.
Many of the oranges have been knocked
off the trees in Pasadena and Altadena.
The portion of country over which our
personal observation has extended is
subject to strong winds through iun-
mel shaped confguration OF the hills ly-
ing to the north and east. 1t is the
same section that suffered 80 heavily by
the nortbers Of 1891. We are unques-
tionably experiencing the most severe
November weather that has been known
for years. We must, of course, expect,
now ard then, to receive a harsh re-
minder from the weather-clerk to the
effect that he will not always deal oul
Mid-May temperatures even to Southern
California.

A RADICAL REFORMER.

The Examiner, some time ago, told
the story of Mrs. Mary Alling Aber, who
is at present sojourning on the Coronado
peninsula, in San Diego. This lady is a
reformer, in her way, and has developed
certain eccentric notions in her walk OF
life that are certainly very peculiar, to
say the least. She is the wife Of pro-
feseor of Utah college. Mrs. Aber
goes very much further in her ideas of
dress reform than Mrs. Jenness Miller
ever dreamed of. She wears altogether
but two garments, an. inner and an
outer tunic of the most inexpensive
kind. The Examiner correspondent
describes the outer tunic as sort Of
grain sack, open at both ends, with a
string which gathers it at the neck, and
q girdle which confines it at the waist.
This lady, who is described as gentle
hammered and modest, utterly discsrds
shoes and stockings. She is encountered
on the highways walking bare-footed, to
the amazement of those who adopt the
ordinary conventions of the world in
matters of dress. She Gays that
at first walking with unprotected
feet was quite ticklish opera
tion, but that now she has become
quite used to it, and claims to be able to
do her ten miles day without incon-
venience. She has long discarded all
animal food, being a vegetarian, pure
and simple. Thus far her radical ex-
periments have left her in fair state of
health, and in her own opinion she is
the better for her dietetic and dress re-
form experiments. After having in
durated herself to these exposures in
the mild climate of San Diego, she pro-
poses to try eeverer climates success
sively, until she shall have demonstrated
that her system is adapted to all tenn
peratures. Her plan is certainly unique
in every respect, and if che escapes
pneumonia, or some other aiIment of
the kind, she will have demonstrated
one of two facts, viz, either that she
has an exceptionally strong constitu-
tion or that there is something in her
system that physicians and professors
OF hygiene should take note
OF. Some years ago a per-
son named Schlessinper established
near Anaheim a colony under the name
OF the Societas Fraternia. He pre-
scribed q rigid vegetarian diet and
ordained also that the vegetables should
not be cooked in any manner. Con-
siderable indignation was excited on &C.
count of his feeding babies on raw tur-
nips. He succeeded in gathering to-
gether quite a number of followers,
who lived up to the simple formulas
prescribed by their prophet. The skep-
tical neighbors of Schlessinger, who was
a hypnotist of a pronounced order, cay
that that individual himself made fre-
quent visits to Los Angeles, where he
gorged himself with good fat oysters
and other nourishing food. However
that may be, the Societas Fraternia did
not flourish long, and Schlessinger re-
sumed the habit oil eating meats and
other stimulating viands. Mrs. Abel

BANK NOTES IN HER BED.
Last Day of n Great Beauty of Louis

Last Day OF Great Beauty OF Louis
Pbilippo's Time.
Mile. Humbert, a woman whose life
was shrouded in much mystery for
MANY wears, died recently in veritable
earret in the Rue des Martyrs at the
advanced age of 81.
In her district the old dame passed as
q mendicant, owing to the shabbiness
of her attire, and people, struck by her
miserable appearance, sometimes spon-
taneuusly offered her aims in the streets.
She never refused the money, but was
in the habit, after receiving it, OF tell
ing her benefactors to keep away from
the side of her dress in which she kept
her purse. This extraordinary conduct
was usually set down by good Samari-
tans to craZiness.
Surprise was great when it was dis
covered lately that Mile Humbert had
LETT eum of several thousand pounds in
bonds and bank notes sewn up in an
old mattress, and that, moreover, she
had valuable collection of paintings
py old and modern masters in her gar
ret, II has since come to light that the
apparent mendicant and female imita-
tor of Daniel Dancer was great beauty
in the days when Louis Philippe was
king, and that the money and the pict-
ures were the gifts OF her admirers, one
of whom was prominent supporter of
the second empire. The ex-demi-mon-
daine's property now passes to rela-
tive, who is naturally ovefjoyed at the
unexpected and welcome windfall.-

Escondido Gold Mine.

Escondido Times: A representative
OF the Times visited the Escondido gold
mine Tuesday and found small force of
men still pushing work upon it. The
incline shaft, which is being sunk on
the vein, is now down over $50 feet. So
fer no water has been encountered and
but little timbering found necessary. 1t
took considerable work to clean out the
old workings. but now everything is in
good working shape. The dirt is hoist
ed by means of windiass and car,
track being laid down the incline. Five
men are doing the work, taking turns at
the windlass and in the workings below.
The vein averages in width from ~ to

the hill at an angle of about 45 degrees.
AS yet but little stopping has been done,
but some ore has been saved. We were
informed that the tests of the ore, 30 far
ss made, have been very encouraging.
G. w. Frederick, the superintendent
and one of the principal owners OF the
mine, is in Los Angeles this week to
make arrangements for hoisting works
and milling machinery. With facilities
for reducing the ore here. it is thought
the mine can be made to pay.
1t ia known that when these mines
were worked years ago gold in paying
Quantities was taken out, and there is
no reason why they should not be made
to pay now. We hope to zee the pres
ent owners and operators strike 1t rich.

L,ka Olden Timea.

Fresno Expositor: Kern county's
mining boom still continues. |. N.
Chapman, at one time United States
surveyor, is now IN San Francisco pre-
pairing for a return to the diggings.
These are on the desert side of the
Sierra Nevada mountane, about 80
miles north of Mojave.
Mr.. Chapman reports that the mines
are very rich, and that great deal OF
coarse gold Is being obtained. The
country is waterless. Even the drinking
water has to be brought to the miners
in barrels. In consequence the gold
is ali "washed" dry. The gravel is
shoveled into machine like an ordi-
nary grain tanner. This ii usually
worked by hand. The gravel pa ses
through neveral sleeves Of different sizes
and the dust is blown away, only the
gold falling to the bottom. In many OF
the claims it is said that miners are
making $500 and $3.50 day.
The mines are in the same township
as the town of Kane's Springs. Most
OF the miners are working in the grave
