For Mr.. Cleveland to entertain them one

Press suggests that he make a bold move
and ask the leading ones TO dinner at the
st. Valentines day-that day filled with
thoughts of love. and Cupids and hearts

write the invitations in violet ink on his
pretty pink paper, and at the top would

would greatly need owing to their lack Of

Our mention of the Partisan controversy

us several communications on the same

nunciation of the word is, therefore,

or three words in the whole language

surprises in store for the people of this
city. In discussing tho matter with re-
porter yesterday, Manager Wood OF th,
company said:
''We are going to abandon the power
houses OF the cable roads and concentrate
all the power of the roads in the power
house at the corner OF Central avenue and
Wilde street. This will occasion great
deal of enlargement of this power house.
We intend to put in two more 1000 horse
power engines and one 100 horse power
engine. The 1000 horse power engines
will be attached directly to large new
generators. There will also be new verti-
cal engines for furnishing power to con
sumers of electrical powr. This service
will not be connected with the plant for
the generation of the power which runs
the railway. The building will have to
be very much enlarged, and very many
improvements with it will have to be un-
dertaken.
"We also intend to abandon all the
cable power now in use. This will con-
Stitute an abandonment of the three cable
power houses. There IS the one AZ Sew

THE NEW LOST HORSE MINE
The Story of It's Name and Accidental
Discovery
lis Location and Description of the Sur.
rounding country-Near the Famous
Desert Queen

T. G. Ryan, general manager and super
intendent of the Lost Horse Mining and
Milling company, was seen at tho Hollen-
beck yesterday and in general talk
upon mines and mining gave the follow
ing description of the famous Lost Horse
mine. of which he and his brother, NJ.
Ryan, and S. NJ. III elsey are the owners.
The Lost Horse is located on the Pinon
mountains, at an altitude of 800 feet,
about thirty miles north of Inoio in Riv-
erside county. 1t was discovered in the
most accidental manner by Colonel and
John Lang, who were travelling through
the mountains of that region on horse
back. One night, while camping in
desolate spot on the range. their horses
strayed away, and while hunting for them
John Lang sat down to rest upon
ledge OF rock which cropped out from the
side of a gorge. While seated thus upon
the ledge MIR. Lang chanced to note
bright speck IN the rock. He observed it
more closely and soon was convinced
that it was gold. And there was not
only single t1eck OF the shining metal;
close inspection showed that there were
many Of them, generously sprinkled over
the surface OF the ledge. He reported his
ind to the colonel and the two laid out
eS lain on the spot, naming it the Lost
Horse nine in commemoraton of the
incident which led to its discovery.
From the Langs the property passed
into the hands Uf the present owners
who have been developing it ever since.
The big strike vas made year ago last
Christmas. Under the management of the
Ryan brothers and Mr.. Kelsey a shaft has
been sunk on the ledge to depth OF 125
feet. From this opening two drifts have
been run along the ledge, one on the
eighty foot level and the other twenty feet
farther down. The main ledge is ex-
posed across the mountain side for dis
tance of 1900 feet. On it the company
holds two claims, the original Lost Horse
and the Peoples Party, which extends to
the opposite side of the gulch.
A two-stamp mill has been running
since last January for the purpose of
crushing the ore. 1t is kept In operation
day and night and is then not able TO
handle all of the rock. 1t is the inten
tion Of the company to put in iys or
ten.stamp mill in short time. Mr.
Ryan is in the city now for the purpose
of purchasing supplies and machinery.
A specimen of ore which was examined
revealed numerous samll particles of gold,
varying in SIZE from the mnutest speck
to little fiecks as large as a pea. The ore
mills on an average $50 to the ton though
some OF it runs as high as 500 and over.
1t is what is known to miners as free
milling quartz.
The vein between granite walls Is four
and one-half feet in BREADTH which
widens as progress is made in depth. 1t
is situated in a rich mining country,
about six miles from the well known
Desert Queen. owned by McHarey brot h
ers. The company has a constant supply
of water which is drawn from large
streams four and one-half miles from the
mine.
