Business and Personal Notes

RIVERSIDE, Feb. 25.--When J. W.
Kseney came down from the Panamint
mines in Inyo county short time ago,
he brought to Mojave nine sacks of ore
from the mines and sent them to San
Francisco to be asssyed. The net
weight of ore was $50 pounds. The re-
suit of the assay has been received by
F. q. Havens of Riverside, one OF the
parties represented in the mines.
which shows that the ore prod u ced
1903 ounces of silver. For some
cause or other, 1856 ounces were de-
Quoted by the assayer, leaving the
number of ounces 15l.0S. This would
net $l01.98, with silver only 671a cents
per ounce. There is taken of $595
for milling, 81 for assay charges, and
freight 1912, or total of $l3.O7, leaving
a balance of $S891. At this rata the
ore would net $225 95 per ton. 1t is es-
timated that this ore can be mined and
milled for $40 per ton. This is liberal
estimate, and would leave considerable
over 5000 per ton profit.
There were number Of things dis
cussed at the meeting of the horticult-
ural commissioners at Los Angeles OF
special interest to orchardists in this
valley. The subject OF parasites had
it's place in the discussion. j. +. Nc
Intyre of Ventura county, warm ad-
vocate of giving the little bugs a
chance at the black scale, says that the
Blanchard orange and lemon orchard
at Ventura, which has been held up as
an orchard upon which the parasites
had been given chance and done no
work, il practically clear of black
scale. He says that an expert could
not find dozen Of the black scale in q
days hunt. The Cooper orchard was
cleaned of the black scale, and it re-
mains cleaned. Horticultural Com
missioner Scott Of Los Angeles county,
heretofore very unfriendly to the para
sites, has SO far receded rom his for
mer position as to think that it is best
to allow orchardists to introduce the
parasites into their orchards if they 30
desire. Nothing but fumigation would
suit Mr.. Scott heretofore. Messrs.
Van Kirk and Havens of this county
were in attendance at the meeting.
