Discoveries Of Gold in the Sand on tho

REDONDO. July 2s-A party of pros
pectors landed at this place this morn
ing after having spent several days in
washing the sand between here and
Ballona. They exhibited quantity of
colors in a small phial and said conf
IDENTIFY that there was plenty more
where that came from. In exploiting the
sand nothing but common miners pan
was used. The men made tests at var
ious points along the beach and at vary
ing distances from the shore. Most Of
the gold, they said, was discovered near
Ballona. 1t was found most plentifully
in the heavy or black sand usually close
to the waters edge. The precious met
al is not deposited in sufficient quanti-
ties to warrant it's being washed out by
ordinary placer methods. The prospect
ors. however. believe that the sand will
yield in paying quantities if the proper
appliances could be put in operat ton
to handle it by wholesale.

LONG BEACH
Another Election to Be Called to Vote or
Reincorporation

Another Election to Be Called to Vote on
Relncorporation
LONG BEACH, July 2S.-For disincor-
poration, yes. 1923; for disincorporation,
no, 121, were the figures announced on
Monday evening as the result of the
days balloting on the question of vot-
ing Long Beach out of corporate exist
ence. The trouble commenced early in
June, when the trustees now in charge
passed an ordinance abolishing the sa-
loon despite the fact that numerously
signed petition was presented to them
asking that they call an election for the
purpose of getting an expression Of the
will of the voters upon the subject. This
ignoring the wish Of the petitioners-the
majority of the citizens 1t was claimed
exasperated them so that they circula-
ted another petition which received the
necessary number of signatures calling
for an election on the proposition to dis
incorporate, which eliminated Monday
as announced in the beginning of this
article. Much bitterness and i'll feeling
has at times cropped out between the
extremists of the opposing factions,
which was aggravated and intensified
by the circulation Of false reports.
Charges and counter charges which had
little or no truth in them were indulged
in and now that the smoke and noise
Of battle has cleared away and they
look back and calmly review the field,
they can quietly and silently meander
off to some secluded spot and kick them
selves until their noses bleed (both par
ties) for being the champion chumps of
the century.
The actual sentiment of tho people is
against disincorporation, for a petition
is being circulated today for signatures
to re-incorporate, which will be present
ed to the supervisors as soon as it legal
ly can after this other formula of going
out of municipal existence is attended
to. While the result of the election is
apparently a saloon victory, such is
really not the case, for men who were to-
tally Indifferent about the saloon and
who intended to vote against disincor-
poration were turned in its favor by the
passage of a business tax ordinance by
the trustees that virtually left the con-
sumers at the mercy of the unscrupu-
lous person or combination of persons
that choose to prey upon them, and this
last was the straw that finally caused the
long suffering public to enter their pro-
test by disincorporating the town in or
der to escape such legislation.
The saloon did not open it's doors last
evening for business and will not do so
until the votes have been officially can
vassed and passed on by the board Of
SuperVisOrs

SAN PEDRO, July 2S.-Swinford hall
was crowded on Tuesday and Wednes-
day evenings to witness the production
of Dan'l Sully's great comedy, The Cor
ner Grocery, produced under the direc-
tion of Paul X. Stanton. The perform
ance is said to have been the best ever
given in San Pedro. Robert Savage, as
the mischievous boy, could not have
been better. John Franks. as Tom No
Ian, H. Steiglitz, as Budweiser, Duncan
Baxter, as Lawyer Rapp, were we'll up
in their parts. Nellie Mcnamara made
a typical Mrs. Nolan, and Miss Mar
garet Savage won many admirers by
her easy grace and winsome ways in
the part Of Jennie Burke. AS Daddy
Nolan, Paul Stanton could not have
been more happily cast. In the last act
Mr.. Stanton had ample scope in which
to display his ability as the old man, and
in it he made a decided hit both in his
acting and in his makeup. Jean Gruet
made hit as the policeman.
Mr.. Stanton made flying trip to Los
Angeles Friday to procure some new
plays and succeeded in securing the
manuscript of the romantic play Under
Two Flags, dramatized by A. Mitchell
from Ouidas famous novel Of the same
name.
Mr.. Stanton will commence rehears-
ing at once and expects to produce I'm
der Two Flags in the near future.
