HEADING FOR RAND BURG
The SANTA fc Will Build into tho Camp--Tk,
lining Outlook


lining Outlook
Hugh Mcdonald, mining er7ert Of this
city, who recently sold to an English
syndicate the Iron Mountain copper
mines at Keswick, Shasta county, has
returned from a trip to the new mining
camp at Randsburg on the Mojave des-
ert, says the San Francisco Examiner
of Saturday. He speaks very favorably
Of its prospects. In talking about the
camp yesterday he said:
"Randsburg has now about 2500 peo-
pie. Just over the road from 1t about q
mile Is the new town Of johannesburg.
with 400 people. About ten mines are
two places. Since Randsburgs boom
commenced in the summer of 1895 about
$3.50, 900 in gold has been produced. This
is a, good showing for the new town, In
my opinion. Only $50 and $50 ore is be-
ing worked at present on account Of the
expense of hauling and milling the ore
The milling Is done at Gariock, about
twelve miles away. The hauling and
milling cost $40 a ton, which, together
with other expenses, Is the reason why
$40 ore is being overlooked. Some of
the mines are now down 160 feet and the
ledge shows no exhaustion.
''The two great needs are water and ?.
railroad I do not think there is much
doubt but what the Santa Fe people will
soon build q railroad twentysix miles
long from Kramer on the Atlantic and
Pacific to- Randsburg. Then ore can
be hauled to mills on the Mojave river
cheaply and big money made. do not
know when water will be brought to the
camp. To do so would require pipe
line about seventy miles long from either
the owens or the Kings river. 1 have
a great deal of faith in the future of the
Randsburg- Johannesburg camp. Jo-
hannesburg has a water supply capable
of supplying 1860 people"

TODAY'S POLO

The polo match which will take place
at Santa Monica today will undoubtedly
prove to be most interesting sporting
event, and 1t may result in the best
game of polo ever seen on this coast
The Riversiders are the acknowledged
champions of the south, having defeated
the team Of the Southern California Polo
club at Santa Monica, at Santa Barbara,
at Los Angeles, at Riverside and sew
eral times at Santa Monica. without suf-
fering single defeat in return.
In 1895 they won the Burlirgame-
Walla Walla-R Riverside tournament at
Burlingame. defeating the Burlingame
team in the Anal game. Last year the
latter team turned the tables and the
Riversiders suffered their first defeat.
The match will be played on the new
grounds Of the Riverside club, situated
on Victoria avenue and Van Burer

and put In the most perfect condition,
and this will insure fast, brilliant

Around the ground is race track,

interesting races between the crack

The new club house, now In course Of

somewhat wild, giving eight men bases
on balls The picked nine played a
snappy game. Following is the score:

THE WOOL TRADE.

The American Wool and Cotton Re
porter says of the wool trade:
The market the past week has been
characterized uy the Excessive dulness
which usually marks the last month OF
the year. The sales have been confined to
limited number OF sellers. The WOOL
market Is now waiting on the goods
market and is not likely TO de, elop any
lew features until that IL opened.
Concessions on good woods ara not In
order. Attempts are frequently made 20
obtain these, but apparently with little
success. Thus IL Is reported that one
house could have sod 4. g01. 900 pounds Of
Montana last Monday. IL 1t had cared to
uo so. This is as near as the market has
come this week 10 really sizable trans
action in domestic wool.
Last week the cable advicos stated that
5000 bales had been bought for America
at the london les. We are now advised
that wool was Put down for this &C u 1try,
which will not come this way, anu the
figures of last week " i'll accordingly have
To bs modified quite a little.
Foreign woods have ABB orbed most OF
the attention t., last week. There have
been some fairly good sized sales one
being ar least lUO0 bales. 30 long as good
Australian woods can be- bought at lower
lgures In Boston than in anv other part
of the world. the demand here Is likely TO
conlinue good. They Will perhaps
average 20. in the grease below the i'm
porting point.
Ihe sales Of the week amount TO 9ia, 0)0
pounds domestic and ]. 572. 800 pounds
foreign, making total of 2,5li, SEQ,
against "a total OF p eco. 0O0 for the prev
ious week, ana "A total of ? 057. 800 for the

work" There is a lofty and independent
favor about this sentiment that causes IL
TO be received with approval. without
stopping to consider whether or not such
proceeding is practicable, the audience alb
serbs the idea as something eminently cor
rect and worthy of admiration.
One thing In this connection Is overlook
Cd, and that Is that neither the person who
formulates the scheme nor the persons
the thing itself. A pick is not an article
Of scientific appearance, but should any in
experienced individual undertake the ma
nipulation Of one he will make number
of discoveries. Five minutes OF swinging
q pick will make pair Of 20 pound dumb
bells appear insignificant and the handling
of them child's play.
Aside from the actual inability Of one
unaccustomed to handling the instrument
to do any serious amount OF work with 1t,
there are after effects-sore hands, stiff
joints, disabled muscles and an unoon-
querable desire the next day to refrain
from exertion. The shovel IL worse than
the pick. In the first burst Of enthusiasm
IL can be operated somewhat longer per-
haps without painting and getting short
winded, but the next day there In the same
feeling Of forlornness, the same disabled
hands, the same stiff joints, the same rigid
muscles and In addition back which can
not DO made to assume the perpendicular
without great effort and some pain.
The theory Of going out to work with a
pick or shovel Is beautiful and high sound
ing, but the practical application is anoth-
or affair altogether. Besides, there is an
additional item In the matter which has
eluded the observation Of the shovel or
pick bearer. Work, even for experienced
hands, Is not always to be found. There
are hundreds, probably Thousands Of mon
expert in the use Of the shovel or pick seek
ing work unavailingly. What chance
would one who knows nothing about such
work have to display his ignorance and In
capacity?
A manly and proper independence is a
fine thing, but the shovel business should
not be entered into lightly. 1t should be
approached with caution and examined
with intelligence. Only strong and able
bodied men should prank with the pick or
shovel. Unless you are fit for hard work,
shy at these implements. Picking and
shoveling are honorable and necessary vo-
cations, but as a means Of demonstrating
independence, unless accompanied by phys
ical ability, they should be avoided. Make
due study of the proposition, weigh the
chances of success, and, having fully mas
tered the situation, unless you are strong
and healthy, don't try 1t. Let 1t alone. -

hopes of the congregation realized.
