SAN BERNARDINO.

Candidates.
SAN BERNARDINo, July 29.-J. A.
Mack and E. B. Waite Of Redlands have
returned from the Panamint country,
where the Rsdlands Gold Mining COM
pany have some very valuable property
on which they are erecting mill,
These gentlemen are not interested IN
that enterprise, but have been prospect
ing about six miles this side and have
made % locations within . radius OF IL
miles. On the Yolanda at a depth OF 20
feet on an incline they have q ledge 20
feet wide and have 75 tons Ct ore on the
dump. The formation is q shale and
talcose slate, which is very favorable for
gold. The ore 10 q honey 'combed iron
quartz and shows considerable free gold
besides sulphurets. Assays as high as
$1,000 in gold have been obtained. They
also have locations tnat show galena in
quartz running three and q hall ounces
in gold. There claims are located about
four miles north OF the county line in
Inyo county. They brought in large
number OF specimens from these proper
ties that by their appearance indicate
their value.
District Attorney Oster has filed in
formation in the case Of the people vs..
George Armstrong on a charge OF en-
bezzsment. Armstrong Ia the man who
rented bicycle from F. D. French OF
Riverside and sold it to P. M. Peacock
of this city.
Local observers report phenomenal
meteoric display laat evening. About
dark an immense meteor was seen to
disappear back OF Cajon pass. 1t left in
the atmosphere the appearance OF q ball
OF luminous gas which gradually elon-
which remained visible for several
minutes.
The crop Of apricots and peaches in
this county ia turning out larger than
than the very large estimates made at
the beginning of the season with good
market prices.
The Democrats throughout the county
gates to the county convention, which
will nominate candidates for county of.
ces on tho 4th OF August nsxt and also
elect seven delegates to the state con-
vention.
Henry Goodcsll. jr., IL the candidate
for superior judge. He has hsd sssur.
ancss that he will be endorsed BY the
Peoples party. In fact this understand
ing was entered into with the leaders of
that party when when N. A. Richardson
was chosen teacher of the city schools.
Mr.. Goodcell is strong run. His
ability is of high order and his popu-
larity great.
Until within the last few days George
Cole has been the leading candidate for
district attorney with Harry Willis sec.
ond. Since then q new Richmond has
entered the field in the person oil no less
man than j. w. Curtis. Many OF the
delegates were previously pledged to
support one OF the two other candidates,
which has seriously handicapped J. W.
Curtis, but his large practice at the bar
OF this county, his high standing as a
lawyer and as q n an make him at once
a formidable opponent.
Young Harry Wllles is q graduate OF
the state university, Of atfable manners,
studious disposition, and the fsvorite OF
the young men of the party. His high
moral character and manly bearing place
him in an enviabla position. If nomi-
mated he will be strength to the whole
ticket.
Frank johnson will be the candidate
for assessor. He has been elected time
and again against the large party major
itiea OF his adversaries. His strength ia
well-nigh invincipls. Party or no party,
Democrats or NO Democrats. johnson
always gets there with both feet and
right aide up with care.
Miss Maggie Morgan will be nomi-
mated for county superintendent OF
schools without opposition. In short, it
bids lair to be harmonious convention,
and although the Republicans claim
party majority of from
five to eight hundred every place on tile
ticket will be hotly con tested. as it is as
serted by the knowing ones that the Pop.
ulists are drawing heavily from the rank
and file OF Republicanism. In Chino,
for instance, a precinct heretofore |
strongly Republican, q Populist club
has been formed Of 100 mem bers, On.
tario. Redlands. Cotton, Rialto, High.
ianos, and other former Republican
stToagholds are now filled with Populist
lasas, and in each of these places Popu-
.ist ciabs are thriving most vigorously.
La short, party men believe this to be q |
democratic year in San Bernardino |
county. A vigorous campaign will be
made and the back -daestrict" will be |
hafsngued with set speeches manufac-
lnred IN the summer vacation. The
Democratic party has not been 90 hope
ul here In many years and party men
IRE on the alcyt.
