ROBINSON DISTRICT
A DESCRIPTION OF ITS EXTENT
AND RESOURCES.


uated in White Pine county, Nevada,
one hundred and fifty miles south OF
the Central Pacific Railroad, i'll the
ESan range of mountains, near the
,wn of. Ely, the county seat.
The mines of this district we're,
some of them, located as ca as
1889, about the time OF the discov-
berry of the celebrated White Pine
naming district. They were at first
believed to be silver-lead mines and
were worked for that kind of min
sral. A smelling furnace was erect
ed for the purpose of working the
sYss, and considerable of it was re-
4uted in that way, but at that early
Gay smelling had not got to that de-
gree of perfection that it has since
attained. and this process was aban-
onsd.
Trom the surface indications and
he distinct character of ore found in
This district it is the judgment of many
1that' ths re are two ore veins that are
separated by Robinson canyon. The
vein on the north side Of the canyon
contains ore that is valuable largely
In silver, lead and very little gold,
while the vein on the south side of
khe canyon contains ore that is valua-
BILE largely in gold and very little
cad and silver. This is not the case
In each instance rs the mines that are
situated next to the canyon on the
north side are, some of them, very
Aulilar to those on the south side of
shs canyon. This is especially true
of the mines located east of the Great
Western, while those lying further to
the north and higher on the mountain
are of TIE silver-lcad chara ctcr. 1t
may be that the gold vein, or the vein
OH the south sile of the canyon is
separated, and forms spur, OF at
this point, becomes wider and extends
further to the north and hey 'nd the
canyon.

The Fiesta committee received yesterday
an additional subscription of 500 from the
Los Angeles Savings bank, making total
Special efforts will be made during next
month to complete the canvass and to in
terview all who have failed to respond to
the request for financial support.
Had Petch of the float committee Wis
tied Ontario last week and urged the peo-
pie of that thriving town to be represented
in the Fiesta by a handsome float. The
proposition was received with favor, and as
a result committee was appointed to visit
Los Angeles. The committee arrived in
town yesterday and the members were es-
corted to the place where the floats ara
being constructed. They expressed their
admiration and satisfaction at the artistic
designs of the floats, and from the remarks
made by them it is expected that Ontario
will be represented. The matter of Po-
mona will be presented at the meeting of
the board of trade of Pomona next Mon
day evening.
1t is the intention to invite the co-opera::
ton of five or six of the leading cities of
Southern California, in order TO show the
resources of this section to greater advan-
tage in the parades. Each city will be re-
quested to send float showing it's particu-
lar advantages in soil and products.
| An effort has been made and has re-
celved hearty approval to inaugurate a
number of Fiesta clubs, somewhat similar
in character to the Knights Of Comus and
| the Mystic Crewe, of ST. Louis and New
| Orleans. These clubs will be largely COM
posed of young men of good standing in
the community, who will man the floats
and assist in the opening ceremonies. The
identity of the participants will not be dis
closed, although they will be known to
each other by secret sign or password
Already great many well.known society
men have expressed desire to become
Identified with the Fiesta in this manner.
The opening ceremonial will be replete
with novel and amusing features. The
committee having this work in charge has
carefully planned program that is unique
and attractive,
In about 800 eastern papers appears this
week the second letter of series on South
ern California and the Fiesta. The third
letter is now in preparation and will soon
follow in print.
The number of inquiries from every part
of the union continues, and from the gen.
eral tone of the letters the influx of visit
ors will be larger than any previous year.
The official guide and advance program
has just been received at the chamber OF
commerce, and is being sent to those who
desire information regarding the Fiesta
and this section.

AMONG THE DEALERS
Condition Of the narket and Reports Of
Sales nade

Condition Of the narket and Reports Of
Sales nade
The real estate market is fairly active,
the demand for city residence property be-
ing steady and strong, and the inquiry for
suburban and agricultural property increas-
ing. The tolerably good prospects for q
dry season reduces the number of sales of
''dry" ranches, but SO far seems to have
had no effect in causing reduction of
prices. On the other hand, the owner of
land which carries with it good water
right flnds the threat of dry weather good
cause for insisting on his full price or in
creasing it little.
Demand generally is for improved or
partially improved tracts upon which the
purchaser can proceed at once to make a
living, but, as usual, the light rainfall has
given something of an impetus to the pro-
moter of water development schemes, and
number of trades are reported in various
large tracts to be subdivided for sale when
water shall have been developed.

The board of directors of the Ch amber

with Directors Forman, Klokke, Cohn,
Banning, Goff, Francis, Duque, Vetter,
Slauson, Munson, Story, Davisson and
Newberry present. The California Home
and Ranch company was elected to mem
bership.
The committee on law and legislation re-
ported in the matter of resolutions on the
funding bill offered at the last meeting,
advising that the following resolutions be
passed:
Resolved, That the Chamber Of Com
merce is earnestly opposed to the passage
of the bill now before congress
to refund the indebtedness OF the
Central Pacific aitsd ststss Kairoaa and sdSo. cGm
Gates the immediate foreclosure of the
mortgage held by the government to secure
such Indebtedness.
Resolved further that the chamber
urges the representative bodies of other
committees to take such steps as to them
may seem best to assist in defeating this
mercial interests of California and unjust
to the people of the United states.
Resolved further, that copy OF this
resolution, under the seal of the chamber,
be forthwith forwarded to the senators and
representatives of this state in congress-.
Several directors called attention to the
fact that there was considerable diversity
of opinion among the members of the
chamber with regard to this matter. and
it might be we'll to lay 1t over for one week
for further consideration. This action was
finally taken.
A Communication was read from the
Dallas Commercial club asking for an ex-
preston of sentiment from this chamber
of commerce in favor of their proposed
semi.centenniaI csistwasion. The secre-
tary was instructed to respond rendering
them the good will of the chamber.
An interesting communication was read
from Los Angeles gentleman, now in
New York, with regard to the alleged CALI
fornia exposition. which it is planned to
hold in the Madison Square Garden, set
ting forth that its managers are unknown
people and ithas no connection with any
commercial bodies in this state and that
the managers have never been in Cali
fornia even for . visit.
The following resolution was passed by
the board:
Whereas, Numerous inquiries have been
made to the Los Angeles chamber of COM

exposition about to take place in New York

with any such display, and, rs far as we
can learn, it IS not participated in by any
other commercial organization in the state

1t was moved and carried that the secre-
tary be instructed to tender the Democratic
state central committee an invitation to
hold the next Democratic state convention

Retrenchment

The Merchants association is signalling
its new administration by aggressive work.
Every one recognizes the absurdity of hav-
ing two assessors and two tax collectors,
yet citizens have been suffering under that
grievance SO long that they are almost re-
signed to the extra cost entailed by having
two superf1uous officers and the annoyance
of being assessed twice and paying taxes at
two different places. The subject will be
discussed on Friday evening at the Cham
ber of Commerce hall, under the auspices

bank, c. j. Griffith, organizer of the Citi-
zens' league, and others. Business men

The Builder and Contractor makes note
of the following prospective new buildings
The trustees Of the First Cumberland
Presbyterian church have petitioned the
court, in Los Angeles, to be allowed to
raise $1,000 by mortgage to build a new
church building.
j. W. Lefton proposes building a $40 ,OOC
brick block adjoining Fishers opera house
and opposite the Hotel Brewster at San
Diego.
Charles Alexander, who was awarded the
contract for cremating the garbage, will
build crematory on Ninth street. near the
Los Angeles river, to cost $4,000.
The weeks operations indicate steady
growth of population and determination
to restrict building to the needs of the new
comers, or to those older residents whose
| financial success warrants the erection OF
new houses or the improvement of the
old. Though less in number than were
started during the tremendous activity oi
the fall months. the list ia considerably
larger than that for the corresponding
month last year.

A SUBURBAN SHOOTING
Joe Morales Fires Two Shots Into Juan Rsmo
at Santa Anita

Joe Morales Fires Two Shots Into Juan Ramon
at Santa Anita
a telephone message was received at the
sheriff's office early yesterday morning
from Deputy Wilson at San Gabriel. He
told livid tale of murder at Santa Anita
by desperate who had entrenched him
self in place of safety with an arsenal of
weapons and defied capture.
Sheriff Burr dispatched Deputies Gay,
Woodward and Barnhill to the scene of the
shooting. and it was anticipated that there
would be an exciting fight between the
sheriff's representatives and the murderer
who had bid defiance to the law. The
mountain of eXaggera ion dwinded down
into a mole-hill of fact when the deputies
returned to town in the afternoon.
1t appeared that on Tuesday night two
MeXicans named Joe Morales and Juan
Ramon got into drunken quarrel at Santa
Anita. when the former drew his gun and
shot his companion twice. The fret bullet
struck the frontal bone over the eye and
glanced off, making flesh wound, and
me second penetrated the groin, finding
lodRment in the thigh. Morales fled so
soon as the alarm was given and took
refuge in the Santa Anita canyon. Albeit
he is armed with a couple of pistols he il
likely soon to be starved into submission,
as the sheriff's deputies are on the lookout
ana descriptions or the fugitive nave been
sent broadcast through all the outlying
districts.
Juan Ramon, the wounded man, was
brought to town during the afternoon and
is beng cared for at the county hospital.
1t is not thought that he will die, although
the wound in the groin is dangerous one
and mayl yet develop features that will
threaten his life.
Both Morales and Ramon were engaged
in cutting timber, and previous to the
present trouble are said to have been fast
friends. The quarrel between them is
said to have resulted from dispute as to
who should pay for bottle Of brandy.
