on any large scale. Those of surprising
richness are shipped hundreds and thou
sands of miles to Denver or Omaha or San
Francisco.
A smelling furnace here would be sup
piled daily with trainloads OF ore of a
lower grade than can be protitably shipped
to the distant points named, and would
give employment to many idle hands, and
at the same time encourage more thor

mineral wealth.
Eighth-A railway to Salt Lake City.
Doubtless the thoughtful reader has been
anticipating mention of this eighth need
from the beginning of this article. 1t is,
indeed, the most important project now
engaging the attention of Los Angeles,
and would undou btedly hasten the ac-
complshment of all the other enter
prses contemplated. The proposed road
would give US third competing trans
continental railway. The advent of the
Southern Pacific doubled our population,
the Santa Fe decade later doubled it
again. and it is safe TO predict that the
Salt Lake road would double it third
time.
In the first place it would reduce the
distance to Chicago and the Northwest
from 200 to 300 miles, shorten the time
from IL to IL hours and thus lessen the
cost of passenger and freight traffic, all of
which must stimulate travel and business.
In the next place it would open up new
territory of 150. 900. prosperous people to
our merchants and manufacturers and to
the fruit growers of all Southern Cali
fornia. Finally 1t would traverse region
of untold mineral wealth and enormously
stimulate our mining industries Gold,
silver, copper, lead, borax. gypsum. salt
and nitrates abound.
Besides the precious and useful minerals
named, there are great bodie of iron and
coal of the best quality in Southwestern
Utah. less than 300 miles from our present
railway systems. These would insure
permanent supply of cheap fuel, steel rails

Mining Prosecuted on an Extensive Scale

TACOMA, WASH. Oct. 25.-Placer
mining is being prosecuted on large
scale ON the banks of the Colum bia River
in Eastern Washington. Last week earth
running 25 cents per pan was found on
the Last Chance claim in the Big Bend
district. The owners have driven a tun-
nel through solid rock for 262 feet to
strike an old channel which was partially
worked during the Big Bend excitement
several years ago. A 750-foot tunnel has
been run on the North Star claim. half
mile away, revealing dirt which pays four
men $50 daily.
Nearly as good results have been OBJ
tanned on many other claims and work
will be continued all winter. Most of
these claims are owned by Eastern Wash
ington men. In several instances farmers
have secured good claims above Wenat-
chez. and up toward the British line sew
eral Chinese have been extracting gold
from river sands for years ana are now
wealthy.
Companies are being formed to pur-
chase dredgers and engage in placer
mining on mammoth scale. The dredg-
ers can pump sand from beneath deep
water where gold is supposed to be most
plentiful.

HE is NOT INSANE.
Max PauIy. an Inventor and Instru

Receiving hospital

Max Pauly, an inventor and instrument
maker, living at 651 Stevenson street, was
arrested Saturday night and taken to the
Receiving Hospital to await his examina-
ton before the Insanity Commissioners
this morning.
Pauly declared yesterday that his ar
rest was an outrage, as he was perfectly
sane and the doctors at the hospital
agreed with him.
The planning witness against Pauly
is Martin Calsing, machinist, who lives
in the same house as Pauly, and the lalter
could not understand why Calsing, who
was an old friend, should swear to such a
complaint against him.

East Indies and the South American
coast.
At the last session of Congress the sum
OF s., 800. 600 was appropriated for the inn
proveulent OF one of these harbors, the
selection to be determined by board of
engineers. When the selection is made
there will be an expenditure of about half
million year, and the improvement
will help keep the money circulating in
this vicinity. But the construction of the
harbor will lead to far more important
result 1t will greatly stimulate our
ocean commerce, and by finding new
markets for our Southern California
products increase their value.
Second-A Japan steamship line. The
shortest railway haul from the Pacific
Ocean to the heart of the Mississippi
Valley is by lines beginning on our south
ern coast, and passing over the easy
grades and low divides of the Santa Fe
and Southern Pacific railroad systems.
Los Angeles and her sister city OF
San Diego are equally anxious to
have the new trans-Pacific steamship line
from Japan terminate for the present at
that port. Tea rice. spices, cement, sui
phur, curios, ETC., will be shipped east

| dant in but partially developed resources,
containing an area of 200, 900 square miles
and population approaching 10000
Los Angeles has sprung into this envi-
able prominence within the last score OF
years by reason of her natural advantages
Climate, topography, productive lands
and rich resources-and also. what was
equally essential, by the energy and en-
terprise of her citizens who have intelIi
gently turned these natural advantages to
the best account.
They publish our climatic attractions to
the world and bring $4,000 tourists here
every winter. Many of these find South
ern California good enough Paradise
for them, and they remain perman-
ent citizens, and invest their capital
and engage in business enterprises. They
have the courage of their convictions
and erect costly buildings on our business
streets, or adorn the residence sections
with sumptuous dwellings and homelike
cottages, ard the advent of the succeeding
tourist season finds all these structures
permanently occupied.
If perchance lull occurs in business
activities or building industries, the rest
less energy of her citizens sets the surplus
labor to work paving miles of streets and
sidewalks as in 1885, or constructing long
lines of electric railway as in 1884, or bor-
ing hundreds of oil wells as in 1894; or
building needed sehoolhouses and beau
tifying parks as in the present year.
Let US enumerate some OF the many
things Los Angeles needs. must have, and
surely will have in the near future. They
are not mentioned in the order of their
prominence. nor of their anticipated effect
upon the growth and development of this
CITY.
First-A deep-sea harbor. Los Angeles

southern California, and consequently its
metropolis, Los Angeles. will be greatly
Denented by the establishment of the pro-
posed steamship line.
Third-A steamship line to the southern
coast. When We import our coffees, dye
woods, mahogany, fertilizers and numer-
olls articles which come from the west
coast of South America, it is to be pre-
sumed that the cargoes are landed at one
OF our Southern California ports, and
when we send our fruits, nuts, sugar,
beans, flour and various other products
ana manufactures to the Pacific coast
OF the countries named, they should
naturally be shipped from the same ports.
Ihe pre- sum ptlon would certainly be
based on common-senSe, but unfor-
tunately it is not the fact. Under
present conditions an invoice of coffee
billed by merchant of Costa Rica to a
Los Angeles importer will proceed past US
up the California coast to city 400 miles
by water north of this latitude and
then be brought 500 miles by rail south
to this city, making an absurd detour of
900 mules, and adding needless expense
and consuming valuable time. On the
other hand, our goods destined for those
southern countries must likewise be
shipped over the northern loop via San
Francisco.
1t requires no prophetic skill to predict
that this preposterous state of things can
not and will not continue long to exist
unless the city of Los Angeles has lost the
spirit and enterprise which has charac-
terized its history in the past.
Fourth-A tourist hotel. Central Cali
fornia mas magnificent tourist hotel,
with ideal surroundings, at Del Monte,
and Southern California has one equally
unique on Coronado Beach. Both serve
well the purposes for which they were
planned. But Los Angeles needs within
its city limits or closely adjacent thereto

those mentioned. 1t should have slightly

grounds, and its Moorish arches, support

resolve, II will have winter home in this

Sixth-A popular educational institute.
This will be an imposing structure, strlk-
ing in its architectural features, and Will
become the home of art, science, music,
literature and education. Our Public
Library and Board of Education are occu-
pying cramped quarters in the CITY nan:
which are needed by other departments OF
the City government. They should be
provided with enlarged accomm odations
Tor present and future needs in the new
building. There IS a pronounced artistic
element in this community. A school OF
DESIGN and series of art galleries Tor
drawings, paintings and statuary wouid
meet popular demand. The historical
Society would here lind congenial home.
A scientific museum, em mbraclpg the
various departments of mineralogy, bot
any, zoology, ethnology, archaeology, etc,
would soon be enriched by private collec-
tions now stored away from the public
gaze In boxes and closets.
This institute would not only be an edu-
cational factor of great value TO our own
people, but its halls would be thronged by
visitors from distance, and the varied
attractions presented would prove unfail-
ing sources of interest to temporarily resi-
dent tourists, whose abundant leisure
would thus be pleasantly and usefuily oc-
cupied.
Notwithstanding works for precious
metals. We are in the M idst of one of the
richest mineral regions on the globe.
Gold, silver, copper and lead are found in
inexhaustible quantities. Magnificent
lodes of gold bearing quartz stand out like
reefs on our mountain sides and penetrate
to unknown depths.
Other valuable minerals exist in every
range from the flanks of the Sierras in
Kern County to the extremity of Lower
California, and from the auriierous sands

ing broad verandas, would admit the
genial sunshine in the mild winters or
afford welcome shade in cool and breezy
summers
This Los Angeles tourist hotel will be
luxurious in its furnishings, appoint
ments and service. A Vanderbilt, a
Rocke teller. an English lord, German
baron or Russian noble should find here
an appropriate and delightful resting
place Tor few days, month. or an entire
season. The financial advantages OF such
patronage would not be limited to the
payment of the hotel bill by the wealthy
guest and his travelling party; their pres
ence would attract Others and make the
resort a fad. But the consequences would
be still more lasting. When Mr.. Flagler
OF the Standard Oil Syndicate visited a
took fancy to the town and he and his
friends subsequently invested millions of
capital in that locality.
Fifth-A system of boulevards. Los An
geles lacks tirst-class out-of-town drive
ways. A boulevard to the seashore at
Santa Monica eighteen miles distant,
will soon be under way, if the strong
committee of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association, who are identified
with the inception of the enterprise, can
materialize their plans. The proposed
avenue will be 120 feet wide, shaded with
two rows of tr es on each border, have
cycle path, be sprinkled in summer and be
kept smooth and in perfect order at all
seasons.
1t will be charming drive for the win

The last cricket match to be played on
local grounds this season took place yes

While the visitors showed excellent form,
both with the bat and in the field, their

last evening. During his remarks the
latter gentleman said:
'Let US see whether there is room for
criticism of the United States Supreme
Court. This tribunal is not infallible, nor
can it be considered august as the term is
now applied to it. In deciding political
matters the Justices have almost always
shown partisan bias. In the trial of the
election of Samuel ]. Tilden the five
Justices who sat upon the Electoral Com
mission divided upon party lines and
voted for a decision just as they had
voted at the polls. After the Dred Scott
decision was rendered fourteen Northern
States passed laws practically nullifying g
the action of the Supreme Court, and
during Lincoln's administration, without
reversal by the court, the decision was
utterly disregarded."
