The bonding of mining properties, says the Mining and Scientific Press, is a good thing, but can be oyerdone. Where the ponder means business and goes ahead developing the property the result is mutually beneficial; where the property is bonded in tho hope of dis posing oft to some one else before the bond expires the result is often uusat- islactory all round. Too many are willing to look upon a bond as a mere option, a "can" on the property for Q certain time, The man who bonds should bo able to show ability to develop, and failure to successfully es- tablish such financial ability should debar him from the pernicious privi- lege of simply tying up Q good prop arty and spelling its sale to some one else who means business. There is an clement of risk in bonding mining property that must be reckoncd. The remedy for the abuse of the custom lies largely with the owner. If he insist upon due development and declines to entertain any proposition which leaves ihat out or in doubt, he will benefit himself and tho district in which his AIm is located

disregard of the orthodox Hebrew custom
of prayerful mourning for thirty days has
caused both surprise and regret among
his friends and relatives. He seemed to
be overcome with grief when his ia ther
died. but his late actions are causing
much talk. A very indulgent and forgiv

Maurice was the eldest OF four sons. and
lbs escapades began when he was in his
teens. On December II. 1886, when Just

came when Reading stock fell thirteen

the father paid it promptly, every mouth
became sealed and the lucktess young

1T PAYS TO SKETCH A BURGLAR

The house of Edword W. Kemble, tn
entered on the night of August 18th by a
bur slar. who carried off $500 worth Of sill
verware.
The artist was leaving his house the
next morning when he noticed foot
print on the piazza. He made rude
sketch of the footprint, just for his own
amusement. Then he began to think
that his house might have been broken
into during the night. He made an in
vestigation, and learned that a burglar
had forced an entrance through one of
the dining room windows, and had car
ried away the silverwar,.
Mr.. Kemble decided to do some detect
i've work, and he bought the sketch of
the footprint to the police station. There
he met Policeman Kelly, and the artist
and the policeman started out TO look
for the burglar. BY the aid OF the foot
print picture the burglar was traced to
the road near Nathan Barrett's house.
There Kelly and kemble came face to
face with a man carrying a satChel.
When they attempted to question the
man he drew revolver and held them
at bay until he got away. In his flight
the man dropped his hand bag, and it
was found to contain Mr.. KEN bles sill
verware.
kemhle used his artistic talents with
good results two years ago. His house
had been visited by a masked burglar
who carried away iewelry. While escap.
ing the burglar dropped his II asy. The
artist on the following day maze Il sketch
of him from memory and took the pict-
ure to police headquarters, where it W S
recognized as that OF William Dunn, alias
Dunbar, a notorious burg lar, whose pct
ure was in the rogues gallery. On March
q, 1893. Dunn was arrested on the Bow
erv by Detectives McGuinness and Nu-
gent. Part of kembe's jewelry was
found on Dunn's person at the time of
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1895-09-11

his arrest. He was convicted and sent tc
Sing Sing for nine years.
So when the detectives read the story o.
the latest robbery at Artist KEN le's
house, they decided to work on the clue
given by the artist. They had him make
a sketch from memory of the man who
had dropped the bag containing the sill
verware. Mr.. Ken bic made the sketch,
and in looking over the pictures in the
rogue's gallery at police headquarters
the artist said:
"You haven't got HIM here; he is some
fellow whose picture will come later on. ,.
The artist gave good description OF
the burglar.
For several days Detectives Butler and
Clark have been searching constantly Tor
the burglar. They saw fellow from
Boston lounging around the lodging
houses and concluded that he was the
man.
Last night the detectives followed him
in a Broad way car. and after he had lett
the car they arrested him. He was
brought to police headquarters and put
through the thirty trd degree. Then
he confessed. He will be arraigned in
the Tom bs today, when Artist kemble
will be NEW York Sun.

PASADENA, Sept. 1o.-The insane
woman, Miss Phoenix, mentioned in yes
terday's Herald as wan dering about and
eluding the officers who were in search of
her, was found this morning drowned in
the Villa street reservoir. The CHASTITY
discovery was made by Albert Ninde, the
inspector for the Lake Vineyard Water
company. as he was making his usual
rounds about II o'clock this morning.
Mr.. Ninde called John Horton to his as
sistanoe, and the body was secured and
identified, and is now lying at the un-
dertaking rooms of Reynolds d Van
Euys awaiting a ooroner's inquest.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Payne, widow
Of William Payne, who resides on the COR
ner of Moline and Illinois streets, sent
woord to the Inarsha's Office by her
niece, Mrs. Joel Burnight, that her sister,
Miss Phoenix, who makes her home with
her and who has been slightly demented
for some time, had left her home under
peculiar circumstances, threatening to
kill herself. and the family were greatly
alarmed about her. Officers were sent out
TO look for her during the day, but no
trace of her was found until the body was
discovered TINS morning.
A woman who lives in the neighbor-
hood now says that she saw the demented
woman climb the fence surrounding the
reservoir about 7 o'clock yesterday
morning, bnt thought nothing further of
the matter, as it is a com mon occurrence
to see people climb the fence that en-
closes the city's water supply. If this is
true it should be stopped at once, by Sc
we're measures if necessary. 1t certainly
looks strange that nothing should be
thought Of a woman climbing picket
fence enclosing only the city reservoir.
One would suppose it would at once ex-
cite suspicion as to her intention, even
il nothing further was observed, and if
it is such common occurrence prompt
measures should be adopted to stop it.
