The Rademacher district is beginning
to loom up, reports of strikes of high
grade ore being received almost daily,
and reports are being substantiated by
specimens of ore brought in by the find
ers. Considerable ore will be millsd
| here from that point this fall.
A. Padiscu of Oakland has arrived in
Garlock to take the management of the
Pomona mill.
Thomas H. Hughes of Fresno, pro-
prietor of the Hughes hotel of that place,
is in Garlock, looking up some invest
ments.
| H. Lee has several men at work or
the Cope mine, situated about three
miles northeast of Garlock The ore
runs high in both gold and copper.
| The residence of Miss Annie Moore
burned to the ground last Friday. The
contents of the building were saved
Loss $500; no insurance.
| The new we'll of the Rand company is
completed, and work of putting in the
| pump and machinery to run it is now
being done. There is a good supply of
| water in the well, and the mill will u
started up at its full capacity next week.
| The question of sinking an artesian
we'll in some central part of Garlock is
being agitated. Such a we'll would fur
nish not only supply for domestic pur-
(, poses, but also for fire protection as we'll.
Experts claim that from all indication
a good flow could be obtained under 500
feet. Anyone who would take hold. of
such an undertaking would find,it a pay
| Ing investment if they succeeded in OBJ
| tanning flow. which they undOubtedly
would. AS the boring here is compara-
| lively easy to other sections it is esti-
| mated that the cost would be nominal.
A movement is now on foot to have local
| capital take hold of the enterprise.

SAN DIEGO Oct. 16.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) The board Of army Off
GERS created by a special order of the
secretary of war to consider the dis
tribution of the present artillery force
and the care and preservation of the
seacoast armament ana material, ar
rived here last night. The board con-
sists of Col Johga l. Rogers, of the Fifth
artillery; Lieut.. Col. H. C. Hasbrouch,
Fourth artillery; Capt. c. p Miller,
quartermaster's department, and Lieut..
C. =. Towrsiey, Fourth artillery. This

accompanied by Lieut.. ]. j. Meyler,

ton of the gun emplacements at Bal

pose Of selecting site for a barracks
fer the artillery companies that viii,
be sert here TO take charge of the.
fortifcations of this harbor.
The board of supervisors met at /
o'clock today arG adopted an orGirawc g
establishing the following rates to be
paid for water under the Land and Town
company's system: Irrigation $3.50 per
for family of two. Judge Haines was
the last of the counsel employees by the
water consumers to protect their inter-
est in the petitiogl and in his arguments 8
he severely scored Judge Ross for his
recent decisions on questions affecting
water rights. In part he said II don't
know of any statute permitting this
company or any other water company to
raise rates arbitrarily. Judge Ross may
thir,k there Is. Judge Torrance does
not. aeAd I venture to say that when this
case comes before the appellate court it
viii not think so either. Judge. Ross
! opinion is the most gross perversion and
preposterous contention in the history of
the world; that the company can arbi-
trarily raise its rates to 81 and $500 just
as it sees fit, ard that serfs of consumers
cans,ot even go into that court to pro-
test against such action. Such law
can never stand. With all due respect
for the personality of the court l have
the supremest contempt for the ethics
of such an opinion"
The case OF the Free Gold Mining
company VS.. James Spiers ct al came

ADJUSTMENTS.

NEW NATIONAL THEATER. Last
night Mr.. Jefferson changed his bill and
was seen in the character OF Caleb Plum
mer, in the dramatization Of Dickens story.
1.-THE Cricket on the Hearth" 1t is prob
able that his impersonation of the old toy
maker was never received with more en-
thusiasm, and when the curtain went down
on the last act he was recalled again and
egain, and finally was compelled to make
speech, which was reminiscent in char
acter and felicitcus in expires sion. He re-
ferred to the fact that he had first played
he was probably now furnishing entertain
ment to the grandchildren Of those who
had seen him in his early career. The
privilege Ct thus appearing before three
generations was a source of great gratifi-
cation to him. and the warm welcome that
had been extended to him during this en-
gagement proved that he retained his old
friends and was constantly gaining new
ones. His remarks were greeted with en-
thusiastic applause. OF his Caleb Plummer
1t Is unnecessary to speak. He has made
the part peculiarly his own, and since the
death of John E. Owens no one beside
Jefferson has attempted the character. 1t
affords opportunity for pathos as we'll as
humor. and full advantage is taken of
this by Mr.. Jefferson. He was ably sup
ported by Mr.. Theodore Hamilton. Harry
Meredith, Joseph Warren. Rosabel Morri-
son. Blanche Bender and Corinne Jackson.
The last named was an admirable lilly
Slowhoy. and next to Mr.. Jefferson found
most favor with the audience. Mr.. Jeffer-
son was also seen as Mr.. Goightly in the
farce Lend Me Five Shillings." which

night.
