expressed intention is to ca.er to the fine
trade, and from the display of delicacies
made on the opening day it is fair to infer
that they will succeed.
FRENCH DELICAcIEs
The French delicacy stalls of Jean Del
bastes come next. and the display of tooth
some and tempting edibes contained
therein caused many of those who attended
the opening day to accord it the palm of
being the favorite stall of the market.
CITY OF BERLIN
In the central portion of the market is
located the aggregate collection of stalls
and stands which bear the designation of
the "City of Berin.''
They are presided over by Chester w.
Thompson. who is the sole proprietor of
that establishment, and who carries a
stock which embraces every description of
cheese, besides variety of pickles, olives,
horse radishes, nustards, catsups, inn
ported sausases, butter, eggs, ham and
With it all he makes very handsome
display.
Situated inside the walls of the "City of
Berlin" are the stalls OF
THE KEYSTONE PRODUCE COMPANY.
Here butter, eggs and cheese are sold in
wholesale lots, and Mr.. Thompson ar
ranges the terms of the same in his ca
pacity as manager of the company.
Mr.. Thompson, by the way, is . late adj
dition to the San Diego colony which has
found lis way TO this city within the last
twelve months.
In San Diego county, of which he was
formerly county clerk, he was very popu-
lar, and his friends who have preceded
him to this city will be glad TO note the
fact that he has located in the metropolis
of Southern California and opened up
business at the Golden Eagle market.
While columns might be written con-
cerning the handsome displays made by
the different stalls of this mai ket, only a
brief description of which has been at
tempted, a condensed criticism of the in
stitution is given in saying hat it is mar
ket in the true sense of the word, where
everything is sold at the most reasonable
figures consistent with business principles,
and where all will receive equally fair
treatment and have their wants supplied
with the best the country affords,

The main shaft was then 225 feet deep
with but little development work done.
The company Immediately erected a ten
stamp mill and commenced development
in a systematic way.
They soon found a ten-stamp mill inade-
quate to handle the output of the mine,
and last month commenced the erection of
ten new stamps.
The new mill started to drop the stamps
December Goth and was a success in every
way. A contract has been let to sink the
main shaft 1000 feet. The boiler was
changed two months ago to use oil, which
10 brought from Los Angeles in tank cars,
the consumption being about 800 gallons
per day.
The Santa Rosa is without question one
of the most promising mines in the slate.
The proprietors of another prominent
mine in he same district, the Good Hope,
are working their twenty-stamp mill on
pay ore, most of which is taken out by les
sees, the company having found it more
PROD table to lease to the miners than 10
pay them ros ular wages.
Several mills are in course of construc-
ton in this district. from which good re-
ports will be heard.
The big English grant is located but
short distance from the Santa Rosa mine,
and is being thoroughly investigated by H..
b. Vercoe, who is the representative of the
London syndicate owning the grant. He
has in contemplation the erection of large
stamp mill in the spring. He has just fin.
ished mill run Of nifty tons Of ore, take n
from his different discoveries, and they
have been SO satisfactory that the mill will
undoubtedly be built.
Los Angeles 10 fast becoming the head
quarters for the mining industry of the
southwest. We now have five we'll
equipped assay offices, where reliable as
says can he obtained, and one complete
utes' ride of the center Of the city, where
any sized samples can be run to determine
the best methods to work ores.
There is little doubt but that the next
three months will see smelter in fair
way to be completed in Los Angeles,
The advantages of Los Angeles as a
smelling point cannot be too highly spok-
on Of.
All of Lower California, where rich dis
covsries are being made every month, is
tributary o the city. All the ore on the
west coast of Mexico, much of which is now
shipped to Europe, would be sent up on
vessels for about one-fifth the freight paid
to European points.
Western Arizona is full of mines that are
now lying idle that would be worked if a
good home market were afforded for the
output.
The oil industry was never in a more
fiourIshng condition than at present The
oil formation is better understood now
than ever before, and fewer failures are be-
ing made in sinking for oil than formerly,
when wells were sunk outside of the belt
through ignorance on the part of operators.
Mr. EdeIs,en states, in conclusion, that
in spite of the big boom IN south African
mines and the wildcat stories written about
the fabulous wealth of the Cripple Creek
mines. the climatic and other favorable in
fluences of Southern California will within
five years make it the most profitable
country in the world in which to mine.

THE GOLDEN EAGLE MARKET
Grand Formal Reception and
Opening Day
MANY HANDSOME DISPLAYS
All Stalls and Stands Arrayed in
Gala Attire
A Few of the Good Things Kept in Stock
The Wants OF All Can Be
Supplied

The tendency to speak by comparisons
is in no wise abated by the proverb that
''comparisons are odious" But in the case
of The Morgan Oyster Company's Golden
Eagle market it is partly restricted from
lack of material with which it could be
legitimately instituted, and partly dis
pensed with as being unnecessary. This
market undoubtedly possesses a great
many points of excellence, which are
peculiar to itself, and in which it stands
pre-eminent. Such at least is the impress
sion produced by an examination of the
magnificent display shown in lis spacious
stalls.
The proportions of the hall and the gen.
eral arrangements made for the conven-
lent transfer of the vast variety of articles
kept in this. as in all 1irst-class markets, is
all that could be desired. The arrange
ments for light, heat and ventilation are
perfect, and, in fact, everything pertaining
to the market is in line with the latest
modern Improvements applicable to build
ings of this class.
The estabi shment is indeed a credit to
the city. and just source of pleasurable
satisfaction to its designer, and it is un-
doubtedly abreast of anything OF the kind
to be found on this coast or in this country.
1c5ttIudy was IA lOTilldi ISCSJliCii VI
opening day at the market. and the dis
play made by the handsomely decorated
stalls, filled with tempting delicaces and
articles of diet of every conceivable class
and description. was superb.
The effect of electric light upon the
scene was TO render 1t vision of enchant-
ment that beggars description, and which
one must behold in order to form an idea of
Its magnihcence.
This market was designed and built by
the Morgan Oyster Company, and was flu
ished only few weeks ago. lU extends
from 329 to 1888 South Main street, and
comprises the entire first floor of the build
ing in which it is located.
The northern part of the market is occu-
pied by the Morgan o. ster Company, of
which Mr.. o. &. Nor an is manager. They
are wholesale and retail dealers in fish,
game. poultry, Oys ers, aud all kinds of
shell fish, and packers of The celebrate ted
Eagle brand of fresh frozen oysters. Their
office, enclosed by glass partition, is in
the northeast corner of the building, aud
they require all the space of stalls numbers
i to 8, inclusive, for the display and care
Of the very complete assortment of market
goods they carry.
West of the Office are the stalls for live
and dressed fowls and poultry, and the
showing of at poultry contained therein
will make many rejoice that Christmas and
New Years day are near al hand, so
they can have two feasts, from which it is
safe to predict that specimens OF the too h.

BOOM IN SOUTHERN MINES
Editor EdeIsten Tells of South.
ern California Riches
NEW MILLS BEING ERECTED
Ledges that Miners Overlooked Fifteen
Years Ago
NEW MILLS BEING ERECTEI
This City is Rapidly Becoming the Timing
Headquarters for the Southern Por-
tion of the State

San Francisco Call: f. W. Edelsten,
editor of the Los Angeles Mining Bureau,
who is up on a visit, talks Interestingly of
the mining situation in Southern Califor-
mia. He said yesterday:
All the biggest mines in Southern Cali
fornia were overlooked twelve or fifteen
years ago, through the fact that at that time
the silver, lead and copper mines were
more certain and attractive to capital than
low-grade gold mines. 1t was impossible
to interest capital in mines containing
from 81 to S. in gold when silver mines ali
over the West could be obtained running
from 500 per ton and up in silver. And
there were many disadvantages years ago
connected with mining in Southern Cali
fornia, such as high transportation, high
price of living, expensive labor, scarcity of
water, danger from Indians in Arizona and
in many cases even where was of sufficient
value to be worked, it was of such a rebel
lious nature that no process was known
with which to work it.
But now everything is changed; we have
different processes, such as cyanide, chlor-
ination and many other processes by
which every class of ore can be proftably
worked, provided there is sufficient value
for economic working.
We now have railroads, good labor at a
reasonable price, living is as cheap as any,
where in the United States. Water has
been discovered in various places, and the
fact that lead, silver and copper have fall
en- to such low price has driven all the
miners who formerly operated silver, cop
per and lead mines into gold mining, and
as all the high-grade gold minss in the
mother lode and other sections of the west
are held at prices at which only capitalists
of the largest means can own and operate
them, has brought the low-grade gold mines
to the front.
We now have in Southern California the
largest gold mill under one roof in the
state. The mine on which this mill is
working, the Gold Cross, located at Hedges,
San Diego county, was examined at differ
ent times by mining experts, but declared
too low grade to be profitably operated.
The present company is milling over 800
tons per day of ore that yields to the stock
holders handsome profit over and above
working expenses. They have two pipe
lines running from the Colorado river, thlr-
teen miles, which furnish the mill and
camp with an ample supply of good water.
There are several other strong COM
panes investigating the tremendous
ledges in the vicinity OF the Gold Cross,
and within twelve months we expect to see
more mills in operation. as the supply of
ore is inexhaustibe and free milling.
In the Perrs district, Riverside county,
are located some mines that are making
good records, the most prominent among
them being the Santa Rosa. This mine
was purchased about twelve months ago

OIL INDUSTRY EXTENDING
A Wealthy Syndicate Will Prospect at
San Pedro
Drilling at San Diego Arrival of New Tank
Cars for the Southern Pacific
Items From the Field,

An oil syndicate has been formed for the
purpose of prospecting at San Pedro.
There are a number of capitalists inter-
ested in the project and it is their intention
to investigate the territory along the coast
with view to determining the extent of
the belt already known to exist in that
locality, 1t is we'll known that oil abounds
in the vicinity of Redondo, as it floats on
the surface of the water for miles along
the water front. The new company has
decided to locate the main belt if possible
and for that purpose have put up rig
about half mile from the shore at an ele-
votion of 800 feet. The location was
made by one of the best experts from the
local field who pronounces the outlook to
be very encouraging. Over 1000 acres
have been secured by the company and If
the f1rst trial turns out successfully an ex-
tensive oil region will be developed.
couple of gentlemen from san Diego
have been looking over the oil field during
the past week to study the methods em-
ployed in drilling hero and to get general
view of the business. They have purchased
two rigs, one Of which has been shipped to
that city and 10 now being operated there.
The other will be sent down within the
next few days, when active drilling will
com mence. The San Degoans think they
have good indications of oil in their part of
the country and they intend to develop it.
Rex we'll No. 4 is now down 900 feet and
will be furnished with the pump in day
or two.
The drillers at the Cole & Hummston
we'll on Belmont avenue are nearing the
sand.
The tubing is being lowered in Lehman
Mills we'll on Toluca street, which will
be pumping shortly. The we'll on West
State and Toluca streets if down 500 feet
Parker & Morrill's pumping plant has
suspended action while the boiler is being
repaired.
The oil sand was reached in the Rummel
we'll, on Park Place, at a depth of 700
feet.
Well No. 3 of the Hoffman & Weller Co.
was completed Saturday, and is now pump
ing heavy stream of oil. A new derrick
is being erected on an adjoining lot, where
another we'll will soon be drilled.
The Iona company's we'll at the corner
OF Temple and Figueroa streets was
started to pumping yesterday. A new der
rick has just been built by the same COM
pany on Angelina street. near Figueroa.
Another large tank Is being finished at
the Green well, above Belmont avenue.
Two cars of oil were shipped north by
the exchange yesterday. Others will fol-
low as soon as cars can he secured.
The Southern Pacific will put sixty addi-
tional oil cars on thsir line within the next
few weeks. Several have already arrived,
and they are of the latest model, with four
inch exit gates aud steam heating apparat-
us fer use in cold weather.

When Deputy Kutz closed his books last
night the records showed that up to this
date 14O4 marriage licenses had been is-
sued during the year 1895. This is a very
large increase over any previous year. In
1892 1923 marriage licenses were issued.
In 1913 the number jumped up to 1901.
In 1894 there was a slump, so to speak,
and the total for that year only shows an
increase of so, the total being 1851. In
1895 there was revival. and last evening,
as above stattd, 14O4 licenses had been
recorded. 1t is almost certain that before
the frat OF the year 1850 licenses will
have been issued during the past year.
