SORROW FOR A HORSE.
1t Leads = San Jaointo Boy to Commi
Suicide.

1t Leads = San Jacinto Boy to Commit
suicide.
At San Jacinto on Thursday morning
about 8 O'Clock John Thomas, a boy
only II years of age, was found dead in
his room at the San Jacinto Hotel.
Mrs. Lockwood upon entering the
room, supposing it to be empty, dis
covered the body of the suicide upon
the floor, where it had fallen after a
bullet had been sent through the brain.
"Ballie" Thomas, ss he was famil-
isrly called, had registered last evening
at the San Jacnto hotel, saying that he
wished to remain two days. This morn
ing, after eating breakfast, he went to q
hardware store and said Captain John
son had sent him for some cartridges.
Securing them he returned to his room
and killed himself.
The report, strange to say, attracted
no attention. From the position of the
body it ia conjectured that he sat upon
the edge Of the bed, placed the mouth of
the revolver exactly over the center Of
his forehead, and fred.
Thomas was a son OF Charlie Thomas,
the well-known stock rancher of Thorn
ss valley, in the San Jscinso mountsins.
Several months ago he was training a
trotting colt, which he sold. While
driving the colt to his fathers ranch on
Wednesday the horse became frightened
and, turning suddenly. broke his leg.
1t lie thought that the accident TO the
morse weighed heavily upon his mind,
and as no letters were found or any
Other cause can be ascertained, this Is

San Diego Union: It will not be long
until the real extent and worth of the
San Fernando copper mine below San
Quintin becomes known. For 10 years
the property, previously considered very
valuable, has lain idle, with just enough
water and debris in the shaft to prevent
an inspection by intending purchasers
without a great expenditure OF money.
Now. however, through the energy OF
Prot. E. @. Anthony and son, syndicate
OF Denver capitalists has secured work
Ing bond on the mine and will attempt
its development.
The syndicate is represented by Gen.
E. @. Humphrey, who has been in this
city some days fitting out an expedition
to 20 down to San Fernando overland.
A large supply OF provisions has been
purchased, the use of 26 horses and mules
secured, and, accompanied by Fred An
thony and two mining engineers, General
Humphrey will leave San Diego today
with the outfit. About 40 tons OF sup
plies will be taken TO Ensen ada on the
Pscheco and from there shipped to San
Carlos landing in the schooner Joseph
inc. II is the opinion OF old settlers who
are familiar with the property that the
mine will develop into one of the best
copper deposits on the coast.

and Wants to Burn People.
Edward Price, % years OF age and a
native of Iowa, was yesterday commit
ted to the Highlands insane asylum bv
Judge York. Price, who has been dis
turbing religious meetings, was first
noticed to be insane ON the 2lst, since
which time his disease has been in
creasing.
He claims that the devil is persecut.
ing him, and believes that all people
who do not believe in Christ should be-
burned. 1t was his intention to burn
up few people himself in furtherance
of his crazy creed had he not been
placed in the county jail. Among his
other delusions he believes his father to
be Satan. The cause OF Prices mania is
unknown, as he is abstemious and not
presumed to have any vices. His peo-
pie are residents of National City, San

geles will be on that plain OF fertile land
running between Los Angeles and the
ocean, yet the commercial situation will
be such, and the enterprise of the cit
izens no doubt will be euch, that they
will have their own docks and wharves
protected, we hope, by q breakwater
that should be constructed now.
Ii they favor San Pedro, the people Of
Los Angeles will always be dependent
upon rail communication to and from
San Pedro. which will surely build up at
the expense OF Los Angeles.
In all candor. is there a citizen OF Los
Angeles who believes in the future OF
Los Angeles as outlined above can say
that If San Pedro is selected as the point
for breakwater that Los Angeles will
grow commercially as she will if Santa
Monica is selected? Certainly not. 1t
will assist San Pedro to the detriment of
Los Angeles. This is the point to be
considered by the members OF the cham
Der oil commerce of Los Angeles.
We notice that it is conceded that a
harbor should have breakweter and a
wharf running out to deep water, so
that the largest ocean vessels can be
brought alongside OF cars. One of the
finest wharves in the world exists at
Santa Monica, and it is an enterprise
that Los Angeles is end should be proud
Of. 1t should be pointed and referred
to by the Los Angeles people with as
much pride as the New Yorkers refer to
the Brooklyn bridge.
While it may not be considered by
some 90 of great importance that ths
chamber of commerce in it's wisdom
should select some spot as the proper
one for q breakwater, yet there is no
doubt that their iudorsement will re-
ceive due consideration, and if said in
dorsement ia given in favor OF Santa
MonicR, speedy good results will follow.
We look forward to the time when we
will point with pride to Los Angeles, as
all Frenchmen DO to Paris, as the lead
ing city OF California.

Jawbone Canyon.

J. W. McCsnn, the well-hown horse
shoer, who has considerable property in
this city, returned today, says the Ex-
press, from prospecting trip to the
mining regions Of the Mojave country.
He and Messrs. Bowen and Macarthur
have located three valuable claims in
the Jawbone Caflon, near Red Rock,
about 30 miles from Mojave, on the old
stage line. He said Spaniard bought
claim there not long ago for $11 and
soon began to get gold where the yellow
metal did not show up before. As re-
suit be sold out for $2500. There are
now 27 men in Jawbons and 10 to Is
claims have been located. McCann says
he has struck some good colors, one pan
showing 40 of them.
The country seems to be all tumbled
up, there being as many as 20 different
formations in the same neighborhood.
He says these reports cause a rush OF
men to the place, but they should be
warned against the hardships. 1t was
two weeks before he got q color and he
walked 10 to 10 miles day and carried
80 pounds OF dirt to water, which is very
scarce in that country. The wind is
sometimes awful, and ii howis through

Esoondido GOLD Mines.

Escondido Times: A Times repre-
tentative visited the Eseondido gold
mines Monday morning, and found the
site OF the mines and mill scene Of
activity. The machinery received few
weeks ago is all in place and nearly
ready for setting up. An Ames thirty
horse power engine will run the pump,
hoisting works and the crusher. The
water will be pumped from the incline
shaft to supply the engine and mill.
The ore, after being hoisted from the
mine. will be dumped into AN ore bin,
screened and then run through the
crusher Ga Griffin mill, which Rrinds it
very hne) and then passed out over an
amalgamRting table, which gathers up
the gold for the retort. In this process
no stamps are used for crushing the ore,
There are now about 400 TONS of ore on
the dump, which we're taken out and
saved in the development of the mine.
The incline shaft following the dip OF
the vein is down 100 feet, or to water
level. and the vein averages about two
feet in width. The ore is pronounced
by experts to be OF sufficiently high
grade to pay we'll for working.

From the Scranton Tribune
1t is one of the misfortunes Of govern
ment by the people that it often degen-
crates into misgoyernmont by the demo-
gogues. The anarchist with his dagger,
his bullet or lis torch, is seldom dam
gerous for long; because by the very hor-
ror Of his agitation he antidotes his
worst poisons. The socialist, with his
learned and impractical dreams of i'm
possible reform, is not to be too greatly
feared, for, however, alluring his sophis-
tries may seem in visions and in books,
they soon are found out when put to
stern experiment. Nor, by himself
alone, is either the criminal, the pauper
or the illiterate to be regarded as a seri-
GUS menace to free institutions, mas
much as each is amenable to some form
of obvious remedy.
But the man with the glib tongue and
still more slippery conscience, the artful
and unscrupulous demagogue, the trick
ster, the fellow whose principles are
changed as often as the coat is to the
breeze-here we have the real and reg
nant peril. With all our civilization and
all cur culture; with all our churches
and schools and charities steadily reach
ing out among the unfortunates in the
etfolt to teach them knowledge and duty;
with all our manifold and multiplying
agencies of public instruction as checks
upon his ravages in our political life,
the political quack, the partisan empiric
has kept abreast Of every movement and
has seldom lacked at following. A
weIl-turned phrase and a hypocritical
voice. q frenzy that is summoned or 81
fenced at will q knack of deceit which
seems almost, at times, to challenge sim
cerity itself; combining these with the
desperation Of the man who is notoriety-
mad and you have to the nation what a
snake Is to the thicket or the poison is
to the spirit.
In the wane of the demagogue true
Americans should take infinite delight.
1t should be commemorated in story and
celebrated in verse. The date of it
should be made notable in local annals
and the lesson OF it taught at the firesides
and in the schools. Not from dictators
nor tyrants need we fear the fruition of
those dire prophecies which bespeak our
nations death. The thing to be guard
ed against, the evil to watched for,
comes not from the tramp of armies nor
the blare of the trumpet or drum.
Whatever tends to limit, cripple or sub
tract from demagogue's power or mis-
chief-this adds to real patriotism's IS
work; and it should not pass unnoticed
and unsung.
We look to Luzerne soon to scotch one
demagogue.
