MEN WITH MONEY
Organization of the Johannesburg Mil
ling and Water Company

The first large investment Of capital
in the Randsburg mining district is now
an accomplishment, and the new town
of Johannesburg is the location chosen
by the capitalists who have the work
of development in hand.
The enterprise has taken the form of
a corporation under the name of the
Johannesburg Milling and Water COIN
pany. with paid-up capital of a quarter
of a million dollars. The organization
was completed last week. and the fol-
lowing officers were elected: Henry A.
Darling president; George II. Curtis,
vice-president and treasurer; George
e. Pratt. secretary; Frank p. Flint, at
torney; Charles l.. Morrill,. engineer in
charge, and c. l.. Hanson, town site
manager.
The work which the company has
taken hold of has already been partially
performed under individual ownership,
which now passes to the company. A
clear title has been secured to an entire
section of school land, and town site
has been surveyed and laid out in lots.
The titles to all property will be unques-
tionable, unlike those in Randsburg,
which are said to be already the source
of much controversy.
The town site of johannesburg lies one
mile and half east of Rardsburg, and
is provided with an ample water supply.
Four miles from the town a we'll has
been sunk to a depth of 10 feet, and a
flow of water has been developed suffi-
cient to furnish all the needs of the dis
trict, including the two towns. From
the we'll the water will be pumped into a
reservoir near by. from which it will be
conducted by gravity to Johannesburg
through four miles of four-inch piping.
More than one mile of the main pipe line
has already been laid and the company
is crowding the work to completion with
all the speed it can summon. Three
shifts are at work. and about fifty me n
are employed night and day driving tun-
nels to develop more water.
The company is erecting a thirty-ton
stamp mill for the treatment of the gold
bearing ores of the district. Quite a
number of buildings are now in process
of construction, and the contract has
been let by Santa Barbara parties for a
$4,000 hotel. and the grading and ballast
ing on the roads is nearly completed for
miles around. The 25O 900 gallon reser-
voir will be completed in a few days, a
large bank building and school house
will also be completed in a short time.
There are at present four large lumber
yards on the town site and the carpen-
ters' hammer can be heard in all direc-
tions.
Everything is being done to equip the
town with public conveniences. The tel
ephone lire reached the town last week
A postoffice has been esta blished, and
the official papers win arrive from Wash
ington this week. Two stage lines make
daily connection with the Southern Pa
cific and Atlantic and Pacific railways
and the possibility of branch line being
shortly constructed from Johannesburg
to Kramer is suggested by the interest
which the Santa Fe officials have shown
by running surveys northward over the
desert from their main line. No mining
camp has ever grown as this one, which
is due to the treasure in sight.

DR.. Mclean Denounces a Ma.
lici0us Lie
HE HAS NOT BEEN DEPOSED
The Pastor Needed sn Assistant and
Got Him
VIII Devote His Time to Saving the
Church From the Sheriff-What
the Doctor Has to Say

"It Is an outrageous lie and ma
licious libel"
That is what Rev DR.. c. c. Mclean
yesterday said about the report printed
in the Times that he had been suspended
from the pastorate of Simpson taber-
nacle and Rev. Mr.. Bland had been
installed in his place.
1.-THE Times has made up the story
out of whole CLOTH" continued the rev.
erend doctor in great indignation; there
Is not word of truth In 1t. and it is not
only wicked lie but malicious libel"
The pastor of Simpson tabernacle was
much wrought up over the publication
he referred to, and said he wanted his
denial to the statements to go forth as
his own words.
Il today came down stairs for the first
time since / was attacked with in
fiammatory rheumatism, two weeks
ago." said Dr. Mclean, "and have been
very i'll. / am not able now to be out and
will not be able to do my work for some
little time. The publication in the Times
this morning makes me very indignant
for it is palpably fake, based on mere
guess work. An inquiry from me or
have ELECTED the truth have not been
deposed by the official board. l am still
pastor of Simpsons tabernacle, and l
will preach there one week from tomor-
row, as usual l will not be able to
preach tomorrow. Rev. Mr.. Bland will
fill my pulpit tomorrow.
The facts are these. Our church is
struggling under a debt of $4,000. The
interest on that debt is coming due soon
and it must be paid or we will lose the
church. Somebody must go out and try
to raise that money. 1t is physical
impossible for me to solicit money all
the week and perform my pastoral
duties and preach as usual. explained
this to the board and obtained permis-
sion to call a supply to assist me in
prea ching and pastoral duties. The
board granted me the permission to call
on any minister l chose as my assistant,
and when he is selected he will be under
my directions as my assistant. He will
help in pastoral work and will preach
when I am TOO fatigued with my week
day abors, tc.hll my pupit. have not yet
selected my assistant and MIR. Bland is
not called to the place.
1T Is no unusual thing for pastor to
be so assisted when he Is i'll or is too
much engaged in other work to per-
form all his duties. An assistant to me
will enable me to devote all my attention
to the work of raising the money neces-
.sary to save the church. The Times in
printing the baseess lie it did this
morning has not only wronged me much,
but has greatly displeased the members
of the official board, who know the facts.
1 cannot help thinking the lie was ma
licious one ard l believe it was libelous." p"
DR.. Mclean plainly showed the effect
of his illness, but he has pluck that
will carry him through and. enable him
to save the church.

PIGEON THIEVES ARRESTED.
Two Boys Who Have Started On the
Wrong Path Early In Life.

Two boys, named Henry Melby and
Joe Turner, who reside on Wall street.
We're yesterday morning arrested by
Detective Goodman and placed in jail
on a charge of pigeon stealing. 1t ap-
pears that the residents of the neighbor-
hood Where the boys reside have made
frequent complaints of petty thefts
which are supposed to have been COM
mitted by the youngsters.
Melby admitted stealing pair of fan
tail pigeons last Sunday, and said the
Turner boy was with him at the time
and also later on when he sold them.
Mrs. Turner appeared at headquarters
and made pitiful plea for her boy,
which resulted in Chief Glass allowing
him to be released on his promise 10
keep out of bad company in the future.
A complaint charging petty larceny

A Place For George.

One day we were at luncheon, al- though it was 6:15 p. m, when lady was announced and ushered in at once. She was apparently an old friend of the family, and she opened fire without los ing a moment. "1 am so glad, M. Ralli, that you are prime minister of Greece, and my George, won't he be delighted tool You remember him, don't you? He is at the front, you know, working won- ders. Now, want you to do him a lit tie service. You can do it with stroke of the pen, you know, and we shall all be so grateful. !"
 Here the minister looked at the lady from above the rim of his spectacles, and, with a humorous twinkle in his eyes, asked her what the service was She copiously explained it. And do you know what the law says on the sub- ject?" he inquired when she paused to draw breath. "Oh, of course do, but then you know that the law has often been disregarded, and besides, you"- "I am very sorry to have to refuse you anything" exclaimed the minister laughingly interrupting, but you might just as well ask for the moon. It is ab- solutely impossible. If the law were the embodiment of injustice, it must be administered till it is changed by par lament" '" But won't you listen to reason and argument?" "No, madam, it is useless. I am very sorry, but the law must take its course" The lady rose in dudgeon and left in haste, and her Georges anticipated delight lost its raison d'etre She is not likely to interrupt his luncheon again in the hope of inducing him to suspend the law for her son.-Contemporary Re- view.
