A Golconda (Humboldt county, cor
respondent Of the. Winnemuca Silver
State says: Some wonderful copper
prospects have recently been discovered
in Granite creek canyon, about twenty
miles northeast Of Golconda. by Messrs.
Button and Hoenstine.
Exceptionally fine galena prospects
have been found and located In Osgood
canyon by Messrs. Wilson and Bowers,
about three miles north of Granite creek
canyon.
About sixty claims have been located
in these two canyons, some of which are
already on record.
Capitalists from the east are expected
to arrive in Golconda in a few days.
and 1t is anticipated that they will
bond large number Of claims. with the
result that it will give employment to
a large force OF men to develop them.
Within two years branch roads will
be running to the mines, north and south
of Golconda.
Mention is made of several strikes in
the range on the south Of the river in the
vicinity of Golconda.
Messrs. West and Julig have located
several claims within six miles Of Col
conda, to the south.
Men were put to work last week to
do assessment work on copper claim
in the same range for Robert Hender-
son.

The copper property in the Dragon
mountains, owned by Foreman Cox oe
Ryan Bros, is still improving. The
ledge of ore recently struck is increasing
in richness as depth is attained, and the
developments are both encouraging and
flattering.
G. w. Swain has been exhibiting some
excellent copper ore from his mine in the
Dragons This property is developing
into a rich mine. At depth of 172 feet
the ore maintained value and unifom-
ity. The progress and gratifying results
of this property is doing much toward
demonstrating the fact that large bodies
Of rich ore exist in the Dragons, and
will tend to incite prospectors to give
this range more attention.
Mining at Rosemont Is looking up, and
a large amount of good copper ore is be-
ing mined in that vicinity. ]. K. Brown
has what is perhaps one of the most
promising mines in that district, in the
Narragan mine. He has six men
at work, and about 200 tons Of high grade
copper ore ready for shipment which
will average 25 per cent copper.
Another property in the Pearce dis
trict was bonded last week, and will be
developed. The group Is located on
Tomlinson hill and situated between
the Gold Cliff and Little Jessie, and is
owned by Postmaster Sydow, A. Garrett
and William Tomlinson. The parties
bonding this property are Messrs. Clark
and Hoyt of Los Angeles, who are inter-
esting themselves extensively in mining
matters in the territory.
These parties also have bond on the
Little Jessie, and the encouraging results
being met with in the development of
this property have induced them to Sc
cure the group adjoining.
The amount of the bond is stated to be
$4,000, and the stipulations are such

Santa Fe Pacific Heavy
Loser by Wreck
HEAVY ORANGE SHIPMENTS
BOTH ROADS ADDING TO THEIR
ROLLING STOCK
Randsburg Road to Be Opened Next
Friday-Trafac Officials Meet
at Chicago

General Superintendent A. G. Wells
Of the Santa Fe-Pacific railroad re-
turned to Los Angeles yesterday morn
ing after an absence of ten days on an
inspecticn tour of the road from Mojave
to Alburquerque. He visited the scene
of the recent freight wreck near Will
liams, Ariz., and reports that it was the
most costly disaster which has ever
befallen the Santa Fe-Pacific road.
The catastrophe was particularly sad
from the fact that both the engineers,
who were killed, had been in the en-
ploy of the railroad company many
years, and were making their last trip,
intending to quit railroading perma-
nently. The entire train Of twenty-five
cars, together with all contents, was
burned to ashes, entailing loss OF about
100000. The company was insured for
about three -fourths of the total loss.
Much Of the freight consumed was con-
signed to Los Angeles merchants, who
will suffer some Inconvenience.
ANOTHER RECORD BREAKER
The past week has been a record
breaker for eastbound orange ship
ments, both over the Southern Pacific
and Southern California railways. The
former company has shipped during
the past six days thirty-three cars. while
the latter has handled thirty one. max
ing a total of sixty-four cars for the
week. The railroad officials say this
far exceeds any previous shipments for
the same period. The fruit this season
is coloring much earlier and is said to
be Of a better flavor than ever before.
considering the time Of the year. The
growers are anxious to get their oranges
in the eastern market for the holiday
trade, as they usually command better
prices, and consequently shipments
from now on until Christmas will be
brisk.
REACHING FOR NEW BUSINESS
General Passenger Agent John =.

Chambers, Commercial Agent W. G..
Barnwell and General Manager w. G..
Nevin Of the Southern California and
Santa Fe-Paciic railroads, are on their
way to Chicago to attend meeting Of

The meeting was called by General Pas

ways and means for securing new
freight and passenger business. and for
the improvement Of the service in gen.
eral. The officials will be absent prob
ably ten days.
ADDING ROLLING STOCK
Owing to the unusually heavy early
orange shipments during the past two
weeks the railroads suffered almost a
car famine, which has now been reme-
died. The Southern California last week
received over one hundred fruit cars
from Chicago, and the Southern Pacific
has also pressed into service many new
cars which were constructed in the
general shops of the company at Sacra-
mento. The latter company has also
received eight new passenger coaches
from Sacramento, which will be used be-
tween Los Angeles and Ell Paso.

COUNCIL FORECAST
VARIETY OF QUESTIONS TO BE
CONSIDERED TODAY
Petition for Water Bonds Election to
Be Presented-The Hitching
Ordinance Again

A petition asking the council to call
a special election for the purpose of is
suing bonds for the purchase of city
water system will probably be filed at
today's regular meeting of that body.
1t is said that the petition will contain
the signatures of several thousand per-
sons. 1t will probably be referred to the
water supply committee.
The contract for furnishing the city
with 5000 feet of fire hose will be pre-
|sented for the councils approval and the
old fight will thereby be revived. Just
what disposition will be made of. the
matter depends upon the ability of the
w. c. Furrey company to secure six
votes for the approval. That number
is required by law. Unless it is secured
there is every prospect of a deadlock
on the matter.
There will be something of a contest
over the approval of that portion of the
report of the finance committee which
recommends that the city give financial
aid to certain charitable institutions.
There is a division on this matter in the
committee, the majority report being
that the petitions for assistance be
granted.
Whether to amend the -hitching
ordinance, repeal it or let it stand, is
another important matter which will be
reported upon. 1t will come from the
board of public works with q recon-
mendation that it be amended, but sew
eral of the councilmen have stated that
they are in favor of abolishing the meas
ure and returning to the old ordinance.

Cropping Up in the School
Board Investigation
ARE SOME SLIM PRETENsEs
ON WHICH THE ACCUSED HOPE
TO DEPEND
The Length Of Time Taken il Filing
Charges-What Rule 1C4
ReallyIs

In the alleged investigation tkaNis be-
ing made by committee Of the city
board of education of the charges that
have been preferred against Director
Adams and superintendent of. School
Buildings AXtell, the defense and the
members of the committee as we'll, have
been trying to make all the capital pos
sible out Of tho fact that so long time
elapsed before the charges were filed.
They have repeatedly quoted rule 104 of
the rules and regulations of the board,
ard; have charged that the accusers have
violated this rule. The rule is as fol-
lows:
"All complaints against teachers, or
other employees of the school department,
mus. be made in writing and verified, and
shall be addressed to the secretary of the
board of eduction."
The claim will be advanced by the de-
fense that this rule makes it the duty of
every employe to report alleged wrong
doing!by any other employe Immediately
to the board. and to that body first. An
attempt will be made to lead the commit
tee to the belief that the fact that there
was such a long delay in preferring he
charges can be taken as indicating that
personal spite inspired the accusers.
The answer to this point Is simply that,
at the time the attempts to extort money
were made, the principals and janitors
approached were afraid to make the
matter public, because they feared there
might be some foundation for the asser-
tio11s which Axtell is said to have made,
that he had influence enough with the
board to- secure the election or rejection
of any applicant. The election of
teachers had not taken place then, and
soon afterward the teachers separated
for the summer. The principals did not
have confidence in the board, or, at least
in the majority of it; so they decided to
get the facts together and present them
before the grand jury. This they did,
and afterwards they presented the
charges to the board. They assert that
the rule does not say when the COM
plants shall be made. and they claim
that the rule Is not mandatory, that they
are at liberty to withhold complaints, If
they do not desire to make them.
Whether there was good reason for their
lack Of confidence in the majority of the
board. the result of the investigation
and the manner in which it was made
may show. If the charges are not sus.
tanned all of those, whom Axtell ap-
preached realize that their positions will,
in all probability. be declared vacant.

WITH THE THEosoPH1srs
Abbott B. Clark on the RELIGION of
Brotherhood

Abbott B. Clark lectured last night at
Blavatsky hall. He said in part: IRE
spect the religions Of other men, and be
true to your own. All great religions,
ancient or modern, contain theseFfunda-
mental principles: First, the universe
is spiritual in essence; second, man is a
spirit, and immortal; third, man may
rise to perfection. God has no favor
ties, but all nations and races have re-
ceived that amount Of. truth that. was
best suited to their powers Of assimula-
ton and mental and spiritual growth.
Truth is infinite and eternal, and no
church or sect can contain or monopo-
iize it any more than one city can mo-
nopolize the free light of the sun. Creeds,
beliefs and religions are but stepping
stones for baby souls until they can begin
to sense truth for themselves. For as
God is omnipresent, his essence is in all
men, and all can cognize him from
their own hearts without any exterior
aids. The one religion the world needs
today is practical brotherhood, and
helping and sharing is what brotherhood

age. was landed in the county Jail yes
terday, charged with petty larceny. His
inability to satisfactorily explain the
possession of Cleveland bicycle which

The theft Of the wheel was reported to
Deputy Sheriff McMullin, who shortly
afterward saw Stunpf riding 1t down
the street. He started after the stolen
wheel and gave 1t lively chase before
1t was overtaken. The young rider pro-
tested his innocence of any intentional
wrongdoing, and declared that the
wheel had been given him by another
party. His story was too thin to secure
his liberty.

HOBOES RANsACK A BUILDING
During General Excitement Over an
Alarm of Fire


An alarm at II o'clock yesterday morn
ing called the fire department to 442
South Spring street. A small blaze had
started in an adjacent alley. The fire
Is supposed to have originated from
lighted cigarette thrown by Japanese
into pile of trash. The blaze had run
under the building, which is occupied as
Japanese curio store, for quite dis
tance. A chemical engine was put to
work and the Ere was easily extin-
guished. Altogether the damage will
amount to probably $3.50, mostly on
goods damaged by water.
Before the police arrived upon the
scene some hobos took advantage Of the
general excitement incident to the
alarm and rushed to the second floor of
the building, which is occupied as a
lodging house, and ransacked several
of the rooms. They took everything
portable that was of value in sight.
From one room, which is occupied by a
Jap, they secured SIS in money. They
