Goler district with some OF the finest
nuggets ever seen in Southern Califor-
mia, one of pure gold. 10 carats, and
weighing 1910, and another weighing
S2O7. Besides these two large ones
there were at least $500 in smaller mug
gets of the pursst gold. Mr.. McGarrey
and his friends believe that they will
soon be enabled to find the main ledge.
If they do it certainly will prove the
richest gold mine ever discovered in
California. The nuggets were found
some two feet below the surface In
placer district. Mr.. McGarrey reports
that nearly all the Color prospectors
have gone to Black mountain, where
the excitement 10 intense.
The trustees met last night and passed
an ordinance to compel all fish peddlers
not having a place of business to pay a
license Of So per day. ]. K. Brunn was
granted ealoon license for the Stewart
hotel. w. A. Cheney c: Les Angeles
gave notice on behalf OF the electric
light company that emit would be
brought to collect the September bill,
amounting to $4l5.76. The service be-
ing inferior during that month the trus-
tees refused to pay the bill, offering to
compromise on 70 per cent OF the orig
inal bill. The outcome will be watched
with interest. Quite a discussion was
held over the matter of granting IL
cense to auotioneers. number of mer-
chants objecting on the ground that
cheap goods we're brought into the city
and sold at auction to the injury OF
local merchants.
One of the most successful amateur
performances ever given in this city took
place last evening at the opera house,
when Company E, N. 6. c., presented
the military drama, Through the Lines.
All the characters were well taken,
while the stage setting was superb. The

Last night at IL O'Clock rain began
falling and continued all day today. 1t
was very welcome after the long dry
spel! Of the past year.
For the past year this city has been
under the etrlctest possible Sunday rnle.
In fact, only the candy stores and the
churches were permitted to keep open
bouee. More or less agitation has been
going on in regard to it, but no definite
action WAS taken until laat Monday
night, when the Mercantile association
met. with nearly ell msmbera present,
and passed the following resolution.
which will probably be presented to the
board OF trustees ct their next meeting !:
Resolved, That the beat interests of
the citv demand the repeal of city ordi-
nance No. 1877.
The objectionable portion of the ordi-
nance is section l, which reads as fol-
Iowa:
II shall be unlawful from 12 O'Clock
on every Saturday night until IL O'Clock
on the following night-that is to say,
Nh Nny oAnANy -i0k MY Poib0A w hSop
open any store, workshop, banking
house or other place of business in this
city for the purpose of transacting busi-
ness therein; provided, that this section
ehall not apply to persons who keep or
carry on the business of hotels, lodging
or eating houses, restaurants. baths,
retail drug stores, livery or feed stables
or yards, railroad, telegraph or tele-
phone offices or undertakers for the
legitimate business Of each, nor to
phyeicians in practicing their pro-
fession, nor to the running oil
operating of street cars or railway pas
senger trains, nor to the sale or disposal
OF ice. milk or bread for immediate
use, nor to printing or distributing
newspapers, nor snail it be construed as
| repeating in any manner any ordinance
or part of ordinance regulating or re-
quiring to be closed places where spirit
uouB. vinouE, malt or fermented liquors
are sold, given away or furnished. The
| business of retail drug stoyee for the
purposes OF this ordinance shall be con
sidered only that of dealing in drugs
medicines and medical and surgical ap
pliances.
Sec. 2. Any person who violates ths
first section Of this ordinance shall, upor
conviction thereof, for the frat offenst
be punished by fine not exceeding $50
and for every subsequent ofense not ex
ceeding Sl00 or imprisonment not ex-
cesding 20 days or both such fine snt
Imprisonment in the discretion OF tht
court.
The law at present only permits o
the opening on Sundays OF hotels, res
taurants, telegraph Offices, livery stableI
and candy stores. II q man wants
collar button (so often necessary, f,
shave, a clean shirt or even a smoke, b,
cannot get it, but if he has small
child he can buy for it all the candy
and soda water necessary to produc,
chronic indigestion, while meat, vege
tables and fruit, in this great frui
country, is denied on the Sabbath unles
purchased on a Saturday.
The Sunday law will probably b.
repealed so that clothing. dry goods
cigar and fruit stores may keep open a
well aa the candy stores and the sod
fountains.

Southern California company, was her,

Oar New Boy will delight the people
next Wednesday night.
