A Lucky Find-After Six Years.

r. N. Park, of College Hill, says the
Eugene Register, was happily sur
prised last Saturday upon receiving
from the finder a handsome crescent
diamond pin which he lost six years
ago this coming June.
The pin was found by Jim Day, who
early last week started out from the
Middle Fork Of the Siuslaw for the
valley. From the upper Middle Fork
country to the head of tide is trail,
called the Middle Fork trail, which is
used frequently by the settlers of that
vicinity, as 1t shortens the distance
considerably. Mr.. Park, six years ago,
came out over the trail, and on this
trip lost the pin in question. II was
crescent shape and had cluster of
seven diamonds, of the value of 500.
Notwithstanding that Mr.. Park
searched high and low for the pin, he
was III the END compelled to give it up
as gone forever.
Last week, says the Register, as Jas.
Day was coming over the trail he no.
ticed something just ahead of him with
brilliant sparkle, and so picked it up,
to be agreeably surprised upon seeing
Mr.. Parks pin. As soon as Mr. Day
reached Eugene he hunted up the
owner and presented it to him. Mr..
Park would not have been more sur
prised if some one had hit him with
CLUB, and in appreciation of the return
of the lost article, he told Mr.. Day that
there was nice 3-year-old COW down
on his Siuslaw ranch, and that upon
his return to just go and turn her into
his OWL band.

An Ugly Cut.

Early Monday morning H. G. Comp
ton, of near this city, commenced to
cut or split some stovewood. By a miss
lick the leg on the inside and just
above the ankle, was given a heavy
blow with the edge of the axe, COM
pletely severing portion of the end of
the large bone. The wound was tenn
porarily bound up and Compton
brought to the residence of his father,
J. w. Compton of this city. DIR. Prill
was called, and after the severed piece
of bone was removed, the wound was
properly dressed. The cut is an ex-
tremely ugly one and will require some
time to properly heal. 1t is quite likely
a stiff ankle will result from the in

SOUTH PASADENA

ular Correspondence A notice in yes

about to be started in North Ontario by
the Messrs Charles Field, says: This
concern will be the only manufacturers
of citric acid on the continent" If the
Messrs. Field had stepped off at South
Pasadena on their way to North Ontario
they might have seen a citric acid fac
tory already in operation, and has been
for the past two years; and they could
have seen the crystallizing room shelves
full of trays containing the manufac-
tured article in all stages of perfection
up to the pure white flakes usually inn
ported from Sicily. This fact has not
been generally known, even by our own
citizens, for the reason that it's propri-
etor, Prof. S. NJ. Woodbridge of the Los
Angeles agricultural chemical works on
Macy street, has been conducting the
factory as an experiment chiefly, be-
fore saying much about it. But now he
has demonstrated the fact that the
waste lemons of the Pasadena region can
be utilized and return profit to both
the grower and the manufacturer, he is
about ready to enlarge his factory and
not allow the would be sole manufac-
turer' to make all the profit there may
be in this useful industry.

KERN COUNTY
JOHANNESBURG

JOHANNESBURG, Oct. 29.-(Regu-
lar Correspondence The water prob
lem of the Rand mining district was for
long time serious one. and has never
been completely solved, although now it
is only question of short time when it
will be. Early in the history of the
camp, water was obtained from Skill
ings well and from Garlock. and was
brought in by water teams: later the
Johannesburg Milling and Water COM
pany purchased a water site in the
mountains four and one-half miles dis
tant and proceeded to develop water
1t was found impracticable to pipe this
to Randsburg, so a townsite was laid
out this side of the King Solomon divide
and the town of Johannesburg came
into existence. This partially solved
the problem, but the complete solution
has been worked out by Captain II. D.
Colson by the development of awter at
Squaw Springs.
There is legend which tells of squaw
wandering with her buiro on the burn
ing desert, almost famishing for a drop
of water, when she saw moist spot of
earth. She hastily scooped out the
dirt with her hands, and was rewarded
with water for herself and burro How
ever true this may be, it gave the name
to the wells since located there. When
Captain Colson purchased this water
site several months ago, well No. had
been sunk q feet, and had a flow of
5000 gallons every "a hours. This well
was situated in little ravine and with
the new ownership work was begun
higher up on the HILL and on the other
side of the dixie. Well No. 2 was sunk
| to depth of 30 feet, the bottom being
only two feet lower than the top of the
| ground where No. / is located. This
well supplies 10000 gallons of water
daily. The wells are located on sepa-
rate streams, and their daily output, by
actual measurement, is $4,000 gallons.
Not satisfied with this, Captain Col
son went Sc feet higher up and sunk a
100-foot shaft 6x5 feet on what he knew
to be dry ground. This shaft he en-
cased throughout with 2-inch planks,
thus precluding the possibility of cav
ing or impurities entering the water.
The next step was to run drift to tap
the underground stream. A 6x4-foot
drift was started and run 46 feet, when
the workmen were forced out. On the
| AOoi III 0dy dllcI WOIh WAS StOppeQ the
water had filled the drift and risen to
within 40 feet of the top of the 1OO-foot
shaft, and was still rising. The water
in we'll No. sank Is inches on the day
the underground stream was tapped by
we'll No. 8, but has since held it's own.
The daily output from No. can safely
be estimated at $4,000 gallons. There
are two reservoir sites available; from
the lowest of these the gravity would
! carry the water in pipes over the King
Solomon divide into Randsburg, with
pressure enough to make it available
for fire purposes; the higher site would
enable the water to be carried to the vi
cinity of the Rand group of mines for
stamp mill purposes. A survey for a
pipe line makes the distance four and
J one-third miles from johannesburg. The
