GOLD MINING IN CHINA.


An American Quartz sriiIer's ExperI-
ence in the FIowery Land.
Anson Ellsworth, an old Pacific coast
er, lately resident of New Mexico, but
we'll known here in the early days, iH at
the Hoiienbeck. Like all our pioneers,
he has had diversified experiences ces.
Some years ago he was sent over to
China to put up quartz mill on ledge
located in the mountains about $50
miles inland from Shanghai. He was
in conversation with q reporter last
night, when the penciller asked:
"How wide was the ledge P'
''About four feet" replied Mr.. Ellis
worth, "and little the freest milling
ore you ever aaw."
''And how high would the rock run
for battery work ?"
"About $14 to the ton," said Mr..
Ellsworth.
"Ishould say that was a pretty good
piece of gold property" said the re-
porter.
Eyes" said Mr.. Ellsworth, "espe-
cially when you can get men to work
under ground for 10 cents a day and
board themselves, and when you can
get men to feed batteries and work about
the mill for less. But you never could
stand it, nor any other American. Our
own country is the best, after all, and
you begin to realize it as soon as you go
abroad. California is quite good enough

AN INTERESTING CASE.

A Matter of Stock in 3 Consolidated
Mining Company.
Judge Shaw yesterday gave judgment
for the defendant in the case of the San
Luis Obispo Bituminous Rock company
vs. the Bitumen Consolidated Mining
company, ct al. in accordance with a
brief opinion.
The court states in the opinion that
the complainant alleges that by an
agreement between the plaintiff and the
defendant company the plaintiff leased
to the defendant the mines belonging to
the plaintiff for five years in conHidera-
tion of $50 shares of stock in the defend
ant company which were to be trans-
ferred to the plaintiff; that the stock
was not transferred to plaintiff but was
transferred to the defendants, Fairchild
and Spence, who still hold it and claim
title to it. The prayer was for a decree
directing that the stock ne transferred
to the plaintiff.
The evidence. says the eourt, does not
sustain the allegations. There is no
evidence that the plaintiff ever agreed
to take the stock IN consideration of the
lease, or at all. On the contrary, the
evidence showed that the plaintiff re-
fused to take the stock. The claim of
the plaintiff was that the defendant
company was willing to transfer the
stock to the plaintiff upon the execution
of the lease and offered to do 60, through
Fairchild, who was agent for the COM
pRniss, and that plaintiff refused to take
the stock, but executed the lease upon
other considerations which were named,
and that such refusal WAS caused by the
acts of the defendant Fairchild in con-
cesling from, or falling to disclose to
plaintiff, facts within his knowledge,
which indicated that the stock would be
valuable, and that thereupon Fairchild,
in behalf of himself and Spence, took
the stock for their own use.
The court in deciding the case says
that the facts alleged would not consti-
tute an estoppel against the plaintiffs If
the defendants obtained the stock either
as alleged or in the manner claimed on
the argument. Findings were ordered
for the defendants.

Mr.. Daniel Freeman's accession to the

orous policy ever since ne assumed the

suited favorably. Monday last was the

vassing, and on that day only one mem
Der of the committee appointed for that
day (Mr. Andrew Mullen) put in an ap-
pearance. The secretary therefore
dropped his work and went out into the

which was that IL new members were
gained by them, making total of 1876
new memb bers added to the membership
roll under the canvsssing system.

THE GOODS AWAIT HER.

The Ourios Which the Countess Bought
But Did Not Take.
During the previous visit of the So
called d'Henriot countess to the Angelic
city she drove up to a curio store one
rainy day, and, heavily yelled. rapidly
walked in, asis her style; heavily veiled,
of course, to deepen her mysterious sur
roundings She called for everything in
sight, including an Indian suit, Indian
blankets, and other curios, to the extent
of 5000. The dealer thought an i'll wind
or the rainy weather had blown in
millionaire's daughter. But she
said: "Box these up and ship them to
New York; put these things in with
them; if don't pay for them, some one
else will."
Her maid then brought in some stuff
from the carriage, which the dealer
placed in the box with the Indian
curios.
But the dealer has made it practice
not to ship goods until they are paid foT.
Consequently, the curios are held sub
iect to the order of the countess, on
payment of the 5000. The dealer states
that the goods were much in demand at
the time, and he could have sold them,
and is still holding them in hopes that
she will pay for them. The articles
that che left to be shipped afe still in
the box with the curios.
On being told yesterday that the
countess had left the city the dealer ex-
pressed belief that she was still in the
city, as the goods had not been called
for.
Perhaps she has gone to Paris after

ANOTHER RAILWAY.
A LINE SURVEYED FROM MoJAvB
TO OWENS LAKE.
a San Diego Surveyor who Is Doing
the Work-The Bsckers of tho
Project Remain in the
Background.

A line OF railroad to the Owens valley
and to the wonderful country in Inyo
county in and about Owens lake now
seems to be not only possibility but an
immediate probability. 1t is net known
just at present who is behind the pro-
posed new road, but active steps looking
to an early construction have already
been taken.
A survey haH been made from Mojave,
in this county, to Independence, Inyo
county, 156 miles. By constructing q
road to Mojave, if it be an Independent
line, two transcontinental roads are
tapped, for Mojave is the junction point
of the Atlantic and Pacific and of the
Southern Pacific. This would be an inn
portant consideration in the building of
the line to Owens valley.
Henry Ryan, ex-surveyor of San Die
90 county, arrived in the city yesterday
from Mojave. Mr.. Ryan is the gentle
man who has had charge of the work of
surveying the line from Independence
to Mojave. He states that the entire
distance of 156 miles is really an easy
country through which to construct q
railroad. The grades are light and very
little heavy work will be required.
Mr., Ryan was reluctant to converse
about matters in connection with the
survey and absolutely declined to state
by whom he was employed. He will re-
turn to Mojave in few days and run
another survey over 80 miles OF the 156
miles between Independence. and Mo-
jave in an endeavor to find a better
route.
Some further developments in regard
to the Owens Lake line may be expected
in few days. 1t looks as though the
end OF the year would see line in the
direction of Independence in course Of

p. L. GrifHn Tells About the Recent
Election.
P. L. Griffin OF San Jacinto, Riverside
county was in the city yesterday. Mr..
Griffin was very much elated at the re-
suit of the election held throughout the
new county on Tuesday and most happy
at the way things turned out. About
5000 votes were cast. This is 1000 less
votes than there are in the county the
total vote being fully 1000.
The reason the full vote was not
turned out is owing to the fact that
there was no contest to speak OF over
the offices. About $500 votes were cast
for division and 500 against. This finally
nails the division question and for ever
settles it. Mr.. Griffin looks for great
future for Riverside now that she has
county seat honors and is very en-
thusiastic over the out look in the San
Jacinto valley.

q deed and certificate of title, and has
since paid the taxes promptly, hoping
that in the near future to get her a home
Of her own.
About the lst of March she concluded
to sell, and came to my office and gave
it in to me to sell. About two months
later + cav transfer OF her lot. l wrote
her, telling her OF the fact. She took
her bundle of receipts, etc., and came
to my Office to show me that she was all
right, and also that some one else was
all wrong. / took her receipts and
while examining them found that in
1890 the clerk had made an error. In
stead of the receipt reading as it should,
lot is, block 8, it read lot 3, block 16.
That error she had not noticed. l ad-
vised her what to do. She went to the
assessors Office and they found the same
error on the books; also that a certain
man with an office in the court house
had bought it for about 75 cents. sold it
to woman for $780, she within week
sold it to a newcomer for $40. Now, all
three of these buyers are sorry for the
(owner) woman, but that is as far IS
their sorrow goes, and still their con-
science by saying the law is on their
side; and the poor widow has no law to
recover her $500 of hard earned, careful
savings. If there is will some one, for
humanity's sake, suggest it through
