WEST SIDE SAFE
Stop Put to the Oil Well Extension in
That Vicinity

S3A >sS~~S@S~A -
That Vicinity
A water channel was struck in the oil
we'll being bored by DR.. Lamb in the
vicinity of Westlake park, Saturday
night, and the well. which had been
sunk to a depth of 1900 feet, suddenly
filled with salty water to depth Of 500
feet. An attempt was made to continue
the work but at 1880 yesterday morning
the we'll had to be abandoned.
This will result in at least temporary
check to the extension Of the oil well re-
gion In the vicinity of Westlake park. 1t
had been claimed that the part Of the
city lying between Alvarado and Bonnie
Brae streets, where some of the best
homes of the city are located, was in the
very heart of the oil region and the resi-
dents had been threatened with an in
vasion of derricks and sump holes DR.,
Lamb was one Of the earnest advocates
Of this theory and his we'll was sunk as
a test and If it had proven a success
many others would have rapidly fol-
lowed.
The result Of this experiment would
indicate that the oil channel does not
extend to the west of where the derricks
now stand, as has been generally sup
posed. DR.. Lamb has himself now con-
ceded that this is not the case and will
not prosecute any further Investigations
in this region.
The residents OF the West Side are ju-
bilant over the results as they consider
that it means the salvation Of their
homes and freedom from the nuisances
accompanying the extension of the oil
we'll region.

A SUCCESSFUL FESTIVAL
The Father Of the Fiesta Congratu-
lates President F. X. kule

The following self explanatory letter
was received yesterday by President
Rule Of the Fiesta committee:
LOS ANGELES, April "a, 1897.
Mr.. F. X. Rule, President La Fiesta 1897:
Dear Sir-I deem 1t my duty to offer
to you my congratulations for the sue
cessful ending of our festival
The artistic and refined manner of the
festival ought to appeal to our citizens
and create the proud feeling that we live
in a city which, Notwithstanding the
fact of depression and the collection Of
thousands of dollars to give employment
to the needy, can get up an affair which
challenges any city Of the world for
grandeur, refinement and, from an ar
tistic standpoint was perfect. To you and
the gentlemen connected with you are
due the thanks Of the community.
The evolution of La Fiesta de Los An
geles from nothing in the short time Of
four years Is marvellous.
All hail to you and your committees!
Respectfully.

The Theosophists

At tho morning lecture at Blavatsky
hall, 525 West Fifth street, H. A. Gibson
spoke Of the Theosophical convention
now meeting in New York. composed Of
delegates from many countries.
A telegram was received from Mrs.
Tingley as follows: Magnificent con-
vention; immense enthusiasm; real
work done"
Mr. Gibson said the Theosophical So
ciety In America has accomplished more
work in the last year than in any three
previous years. The secret of 1t lies in
the fact that the society devotes itself to
more practical methods of brotherhood
under the able and accomplished leader
chip Of Mrs. K. A. Tingley.

MAIN STREET PAVING
Alcatraz Asphalt Is the Material Sc
lected to Be Used

AOSsSA W oO OoC0
The protractedkagony In regard to the
paving of Main street with q material
that will fulfill the requirements Of the
specifications and give satisfaction to
property owners, Is now apparently in
q fair way to be ended.
It will be remembered that the pave
ment surface that was rejected by the
council, after a lengthy hearing, with an
examination of experts summoned from
other cities to testify, was that part Of
the work extending from Eleventh to
Thirty-seventh streets. This portion Of
the surfacing was condemned az worth
less, and the time was extended to the
1st OF July to allow the contractors an
opportunity to relay this portion of the
asphalt work. The blocks from Ninth
10 Eleventh, also included in the same
contract, were surfaced with different
material Of the standard brand, known
in the trade as "Alcatraz."
It was found upon examination that
these two blocks, which were surfaced
by ]. A. Fairohild as sub-contractor,
were fully up to the specifications, and
they were, therefore, as a matter Of
course. exempted from the order requir-
ing the resurfacing to be done.
The contractors have been using every
endeavor to secure material that would
give satisfaction and have listened to
propositions from the company controll-
ing the Trinidad asphalt, as we'll as
others. They decided at last that the
wisest course would be to make use
again Of a material that had already
been proved sufficiently good to stand
the tests of experts. and therefore nego-
tiated with ]. A. Fairchild to do the
work for them with the Alcatraz asphalt.
The contract has been signed and the
property owners will rejoice to know
that work will be begun Immediately
and that. barring any serious accident.
the whole job will be completed in about
forty days.
Contractor Fairchild states that he
has leased the paving plant on Seventh
Street, below Alameda, and he further
says that. contrary to the usual custom
about such works. no keep out" signs
will be displayed. On the contrary,
every property owner on Main street,
or other interested citizen desirous of
seeing and investigating the material
used and the methods employed in con-
structing asphalt pavements will be well
come, and as soon as the work is begun
will be shown all there Is to see.
