ANAHEIM

ANAHEIM, March 29.-Regular Cor
respondence) The directors of the water
company held special session Saturday
to reconsider a resolution which was
passed by the board at the last regular
meeting. The resolution was to have
fiume IL on one of the main canals re-
paired at a cost of about $430. This
amount would only repair the supports
and as the box was rotten and liable to
give away at any time, it was thought
best to put in fill and culvert at a
cost of some 81, 400, and make permanent
improvements instead of patching up
the old work.
The masquerade ball given by the Trio
club at the opera house Saturday even
ing was largely attended. Two prizes
were offered for the best walters. A. c..
Anslyn and Mrs. B. F. La Rue of Buena
Park won first prize, - Elonzo Davis
and Miss Annie Nelson of Artesia won
the second prize. The prizes were $3
for first and 81 for second.

for some time, and at depth of so feet

ping quality something similar to the
Rose ore, and is said to assay about
$500 per ton.
Brown & Barclay have lately secured
the old Jeff Davis mine, six or eight miles
east of the Rose, and have put on a
large force of men. They are running
three eight-hour shifts on the vein,
which will strike an old shaft at the
depth of $50 feet and are taking out
some nice gold ore, which carries ga
lena. The new owners are pushing
things ahead rapidly. They have leased
the Judge Campbell mill, some six miles
east, and are already hauling ore to
make thorough test.
The Rose is shipping several carloads
of high grade ore to Pueblo for reduction,
besides keeping their ten-stamp mill
pounding away night and day on lower
grade ore.
Robert Grant, one of the principal
owners, has been making a visit to the
mine the past week, and is we'll pleased
with the outlook. He has been called
away to Colorado to visit some of his;

1t would in reality be drive through

This would practically take II over

route, which was surveyed eight years
ago, and at which time right of way
one hundred feet wide was secured.
Connection could easily be made with
Sunset boulevard, thus giving direct
route from Pasadena to Santa Monica
over a driveway which for scenic beauty
would simply be unsurpassed in the
world.
1t also leads through a section of coun-
try which most fittingly represents our

REDLANDS, March 29.-(Regular
Correspondence) George Mattison. who
was interested with the late Matthew
Warner in the development of several
mining properties in the Julian district,
came to Redlands yesterday with Mr..
Warmers body, and will return to the
mines tomorrow. Mr. Mattison owns
several mines in this district, and also
acted as agent for Mr.. Warner, whose
heirs he will represent in the further
development of the property.
The "Redlands" mine is the one In
which a rich strike of tellurium ore was
made some months ago. Mr.. Mattison
is very enthusiastic over this mine, be-
lieving that it will eventually prove a
bonanza. Some of the ore runs into the
thousands and 1t is all free milling. The
Messrs. Shaw and members of their
families, of this city, will inherit this
mine and other property which belonged
to Mr. Wormer, as they are his nearest
surviving relatives.

sam DIEGO, March 2S.-John Gates,
a colored shoeblack was arrested last
night and lodged in the county Jail for
an attempt to murder sailor from the
training ship Adams, named Peter Nell

Gates sprang upon Nelson and before
the crowd could interfere had cut his
man three times on the head with big

down the forehead and another circled

in the old Green lead mine, which has

RIVERSIDE, March 29.-(Regular
Correspondence.) While the local press

very near the bad man, Mr.. Linden
berger is having considerable explain
ing to do to his country constituents
himself. Especially is this true of those
living under the different irrigation sys-
TENS of the county, and more particular
ly those of the Perris and Alessandro
valleys. Mr. Lindenberger's friends
have been claiming for him all along that
he was standing by the people in the
amendments offered in the legislature
to the Wright irrigation law, and the
gentleman is now claiming the same.
The discussion has brought out, however,
that Mr.. Lindenberger was an advocate

and voted for their passage in the assem-

knocked out by the supreme court, and
falling in this, has been using his influ-

amended so that it would be just to the
people, and whose word goes long way
with the people of this county who have
suffered from the burdens voted upon
them through the lame features of the
Wright act-said while the legislature
was in session, that "it would be much
better for the people of these districts
If Mr. Lindenberger would go home"
Your correspondent Is informed by those
in a position to know that had the
Bridgeford amendments gone into law
as they were when Mr.. Lindenberger
voted for them, it would have been but
few years when there would have been
a complete oonfiscation of half of the
lands under the irrigation systems by
the holders of the bonds If not all of
them. Fortunately for the people, how
ever, the amendments were amended
out of sight by the senate almost, and
as they were finally passed, there was
an absence of many of the Objectionable
features which have been before shown
up in The Herald. Mr.. Lindenberger it
is thought and intended by the people of
these districts, should not take credit
for what the senate did.
