A RICH STRIKE
Henry T. Gage Returns With Some Cheerful
Mining News


The fact that the gold fields of the Mo-
jave desert are fast becoming of the
greatest interest to the citizens of Los
Angeles. notwithstanding the tales of
privation, thirst and other detrimntals.
which are most industriously published
by journals hostile to the development
of the country, it still remains that those
who are willing to risk their money and
labor are certain to find more than an
expected return if they only observe the
plain rules of preservation and are
willing to make a small outlay with that
object in view. Yesterday afternoon
Henry T. Gage, who is interested with
Senator Stephen M. White in several
properties north Of Mojave station on
the. Southern Pacific and toward Ac-
ton, returned to this city with his face
beaming with pleasure.
DO you know" said he, 1--WE have lust
made clean up after three weeks work.
and after retorting the amalgam we
found over ten pounds of pure gold shin
ing in the sun in the different retorts."
Last night Mr.. Gage was industriously
trying to find Senator White and convey
to him the good news. What the ulti-
mate development of the mine will be is
only conjecture, but it Is reasonable to
suppose that it will be one of the best
properties in the country.
This one instance shows what the
sands and so-called barren wastes Of
the Mojave desert conceal, and also
shows that there may be more fortunes
found across the mountains than can be
obtained in the valleys toward the sea-

refreshments were served. Among those

of Miss Lewis Smith. About the rooms

AT THE THEATERS

ORPHEUM.-Yest midweek
matinee at the Orpheum proved a great
success. The program is first-rate one,
of a variety and freshness that makes
it thoroughly enjoyable.
Lille Western, the talented instru-
mentalist, plays music of a high order
on all sorts of odd things Her xylo-
phone, concertina, violin, bell and other
solos are all extremely well done. Sis
seretta Jones, the Black Patti, is a
great drawing card. She has a beauti-
full voice, and her selection of songs Is
exceptionally happy.
In an athletic way the program is
very attractive. The Rossow midgets
rouse whirlwinds of applause by their
pigmy boxing encounters. They are
so tiny and graceful that children es-
pecially enjoy their speciality. The
Fredericks troupe of demon acrobats are
marvels of physical development. The
Jackly Roston troupe are a jolly band
and their grotesque gymnastics never
fail to win hearty applause. The Stew
art sisters and Billy Van are also excel
lent entertainers.
