{, D. PEIXOITO RESIGNS.
Withdraws From District At
torney Barnes Staff of
Assistants

Edgar D. Peixotto has resigned as
memb ber of the staff of District Attorney
Barnes assistants. His resignation is to
go into effect March 1, after which date
Peixotto will be known as plain every
day lawyer, with ambitions along the
lines of private practice.
Peixotto is son of the present foreman
OF the Grand Jury, Raphael Peixotto, and
brother of Ernest c. Peixotto, the we'll
known srtist. He attached himself to the
District Attorneys office about four years
ago, and has been public prosecutor in
some of the big criminal cases that have
worried the courts of late. His most
notable effort was assisting to convict
Durrant.
The young attorneys intention to re-
sign was conveyed to his chief in the fol-
lowing letter yesterday:

Local Business Men Bitterly Oppos
Two AsssmhIy RilIs.

Local Business Men Bitterly Oppose
Two Assembly Bills.
There was an important conference yes
Francisco Board of Trade and the Manu-
facturers' and Producers Association in
the Board of Trade rooms. The object of
the gathering was to discuss bills $40 and
SAL now before the Legislature.
The first is an act requiring manufac-
turers to stamp upon their products is on
manufactured wares an indication of the
kind of labor employed and the plan of
manufacture. The penalty for violating
the proposed law was fixed by fines not
less than $50 nor more than $500 and six
months imprisonment.
The other bill proposes to compel en-
ployers to furnish surgical and medical
attendance to employees injured during
working hours in mills, factories, ship
yards, foundries and other places where
machinery is used or forfeit penalty of
three times the value of the medical
service required.
From the beginning of the session these
two measures were roundly denounced as
clnch bills OF the worst order. The state
ment was MADE that at the present time
the Paclhc Coast manufacturers are
hampered in dozens of unnecessary WAYS
and that it is shame TO add further
stumbling blocks to the manufacturing
industries.
Resolutions condemning the bills were
passed and last evening letters were sent to
all the Assem blymen asking them 10 kill
the bills before they go further. The bills
have slipped through the second reading
already.

Los Angeles Capitalists
Buy the Famous st.
Elmo Mine.
Broad Ledge Which in Places
Assays One Dollar to the
Pound of Ore.
The Purchase Price $3.50 900, and De-
velopment Work Will Be Done
at Once.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Feb. 24.-The
largest mining deal ever recorded in
Randsburg consisted of the sale two days
ago of the famous ST. Elmo mine owned
and worked by Bogwardt, Pyle and Douii-
lard. The property now passes into the
hands of a corporation with headquarters
in this city and of which William Fergu-
son is president, J. F. Turner vice. presi-
dent and NJ. W. Turner secretary. Other
mem bers of the company are Csptain
Thomas, c. G. North. NJ. ]. Braisdel and
E. II. Gould, all of Los Angeles.
D. NJ. Pyle, one of the owners. was
taken into the directory, and the name OF
the corporation was changed to the St.
Elmo Mining and Water Company. The
consideration at which the st. Elmo was
| taken is understood to be $3.50, 600. The new
company starts out under the most favor
able auspices, with a mine which at
present is second to none in the Rand
district. and is regarded by many exper-
| fenced miners as the best property there,
| with men OF capital behind it to push all
| ordinary development work without the
| sale of stock, and in locality easy of ac-
cess and only twenty miles from Kramer,
on the Santa Fe Railroad.
For the present the purpose of the COM
pany is to sink a double compartment
shaft at some point on the ledge 10 a
| depth sufficient to fully develop the mine,
and for the additional purpose of obtain
ing water, which will probably be reached
at 300 feet, or certainly before going 500,
which is now the depth proposed. They
do not intend to mill any ore for the
| present, and if they strike water sufficient,
works will be put UP on the mine and the
| ore can be milled at a minimum cost,
| thus saving the cost of transportation,
| with the additional loss of from $40 to SIS
on every ton run off into the tailings.
This ledge has been prospected and
shafts sunk in eight different places, long
distances apart, and ore milled from all
| of them. with the lowest return OF $50 per
ton, while selected ore has run as high as
81 per pound. The ledge at depth OF
eighty feet has never shown less width
than two feet, while it has been ten and
twelve feet in some places, and IN one
place at the surface it is thirty feet wide.
1t has been located for 5000 feet and that
is the length included in this deal. There
| are two parallel ledges. distant from the
main ledge 200 and $50 feet. These have
been prospected in number of places and
show as rich ore as the main ledge. The
ST. Elmo is q strong vein of ore, lying out
on the open, level desert, with no high
hills near, and gives every indication of
being true fissEre vein and will doubt.

MEAT INSPECTION
IS SET ASIDE
Four Large Abattoirs Make
an Interesting De-
parture.
The Department of Agriculture
Granted an Earnest
Petition.
Consent Was Based on the Statement
That They Are Not Engaged
in Exportatisn.

a move which will occasion some sur
prise among butchers and provision deal
ers has reached eliminating point within
the last two days. This is nothing less
than the removal of tue Government meat
inspection from four large abattoirs in
this City, owned respectively by Miller &
Lux. Moffat;. Horn & Judge and James
Hall. The orders were received by Mr..
Barker, chief of the service in this City,
two days ago. On Tuesday the inspectors
were removed from duty at the first three
places named. Yesterday the meat in
spection at James HalPs place came to an
end.
This action came about through a petit
ton which was forwarded by the firms
concerned some time ago to DR.. D. E.
Salmon, Chief of the Bureau of Animal
Industry of the United States Department
of Agriculture at Washington. This petit
tlon set forth in substance that the firms
were concerned only in killing for the To-
cal trade and that they were not engaged
In the export or interstate trade. The in
spectlon OF the Government applies only
to meat for expectation.
Before the inspection was Instituted
& ese firms had to make application to
the Secretary of Agriculture. Thereupon
the United States sent the proper in
spectors, who under the law and regula-
tions for the inspection of livestock and
their products, were compelled, when all
the conditions were complied with, to
issue certificates and tags and stamps,
showing whether the meat inspected was
for export or for the interstate trade. A
daily report was returned to the depart
nent concerning all inspections.
No teason other than that given in the
lc fnr fho Of he
four firms named. Mr.. Barker said yester-
day: The retail butchers will feel this
exclusion from inspection; first, for the
reason that when butcher buys car
cass, or quarter, his trade calls Tor only
part OF this quantity. The remainder
must be disposed of to packers for sau-
sage, for canning and so on. But meat
killed at abattoirs where there is. no Cow
eminent inspection cannot be stamped OF
tagged for exVortation or for the inter-
state trade. The removal of the Govern
ment inspection, which was only for the
special purposes named. does not inter-
fere with or set aside the health insp

p'oye Gs the Culprit.
SPOKANE, WASH, Feb. 24-For some
time past the postal authorities have been
aware of the fact that some one was rob-
bing the mails sent through the. Spokane
postoffice. Three weeks ago Deputy In.
spectors Robinson and Wayland were put
to work on the case, and they in turn
wired for Chief Inspector r. R. Munroe
who arrived here from San Francisco last
Sunday. When the result of the inyesti-
cation was laid before him he summoned
James Nevins, chief of the Pinker.on
agency at Portland, who came on Mon
day. The officials, including Postmaster
Malon, maintain the utmost secrecy con-
earning the result OF the investigation. but
from an inside source it is learned that
the disappearance of valuable letters and
registered matter has been traced to some
one in the Spokane Office. No arrests
have as yet been made, from which il is
inferred that the culprit is still matter
of doubt. No information can be obtained
as to the amount of money ri9ed from the
mails.
