ROSAMOND GOLD FIND
The Entire District Shows Good Indications of
Timing Activity

The Entire District Shows Good Indications Of
Timing Activity
RosAMoND, Jan. 27-The gold discov-
cry by Gus Stearns, formerly section
foreman on the Southern Pacific road
at this place, is likely to prove very
valuable. He and s. Letter, merchant
here, are owners of the new find and
are taking out rock for shipment that
promises better returns than their first
consignment. They have four claims
nearby their first discovery that show
free gold, in one or two instances yel-
low grains as large as grain OF wheat.
Their first discovery is in the hill on
the west side of the Southern Pacific
track, about mile and half from
Gloster siding and about midway be-
tween here and Mojave.
The Bower Company are taking out
ore for shipment from their claim on
the first hill south of Mojave on the
west side of the track, and although
they are very reticent about the tests
they have had their activity in getting
out rock indicates gold in paying quail
tiles.
There is considerable mining excite
ment and prospecting being done IN
the cluster of hills between here and
Mojave and the indications are that
the new district will turn out some
rich ore when they get below the sur
face.
The working test on the surface rock
of the Stevens and Letter claims is $3e
per ton and as they ship their rock
from Gloster siding and only have a
mile and hale to haul it there is some
| profit in it.

SAN BERNARDINo, Jan. 27.-The dis

make extraordinary efforts to pay their
taxes before the list was printed, and
the result is that the total of delin-
quencies is less than that Of last year
By about $1,000. The total has been
made up by City Clerk Foy. and it is
found to be $3194 26, of which $2S00.35
is in the old city and $393.9l in the new

more than $4,000.

The state of marriage fills up the
numbers of the elect and hath in it the
labor of love, and the delicacies of
friendship, the blessings of society and
the union of hands and hearts; it hath
in it less of beauty, but more of safety.
than the single life; it hath more care,
but less danger; it is more merry and
more sad; it is fuller of sorrows, and
fuller of joys; it lies under more bur-
