doors ant removing ths piece OF timber
with which the door was bracsd. A car

part OF a gang now infestin: this county.

ARrESIAN WATER
meeting If citizsns Is called for this
week to discuss the advisability of sinking
for artssian water. There are now about
300 acres of fruit trees set out in the val
ley. much of which will produce fruit the
coming season. To irrigats this not less
than 600 inches of water will 6e neces-
sary, and as the district only receives 2U0
inches from the B ar Valley company,
the eXigenov OF action Is obvious. IL ar
tesan wstsr be not secured. it is probabl'
tnat surface wells and pumping will be
resorted to.
THE PAN-OUT GOOD.
Since the Good Hope has been plunged
into litigation end tue mine has been in
tne hands of q receiver, the employ es,
except those about the mill ana the ones
whose services were necessary to keep up
the tim boring. have not been receiving
any wages from the company, but were
granted the privilege OF leasing ground
and working il. And in every casa it has
been to n for them. The men work in
pairs and threes and i, no instance nave
they made less than IS per day to the
man. and in a number of cases they
have made "a nigh as $40 day. The
lenses hAvs nearly all expired, and it is
said they will not be renewed. The o..
] ct in leasing the ground is undoubtedly
to determine tue v,lue of the mine, and
the delosi.ions of the lessees will cut

ley ct al vs.. Sigaius. 10 when the claim
is made t1at the mine did not come up
