City Controller Robinson yesterday gent
out an order to the city aldermen le-
questng them to make out and send to
him monthly reports of the business trans
acted by them. He quotes in support CT
his order the act of Pennsylvania legis-
lature passed May 10, 1856 Some of the
aldermen who see no reason why such a
report or statement should be made, have
taken the trouble to look up the law of
May l3, 1856 which the city controller
quotes as his authority for the request,
They claim to have found that this law
and all subsequent amendments to the
same, in the pamphlets, relates only to
Philadelphia, where the aldermen and
magistrates are paid salary by the city
and therefore are compelled TO pay fines
and penalties over to the city and render
strict account of their work by the month.
While one or two OF the aldermen are
rendering statements, there are others
who are inclined to resent the controllers
order. The order from THE city controller
is in compliance with resolution passed
by the city council some ha.e ago.

Sieveking, though, is forgving. He said

KESWIC KS Rapid GROWTH.
One of caiifonia's Most Prosperous
Mining Camp, of Which
Lfffe Is Heard

REDDING, CAL. June THE town OF
Keswck, eight miles north OF Redding, Is
one OF the most prosperous mining camrs
in Northern California, and is not often
heard OF on the outside. The Iron
Mountain Copper Company employs $40
men at its mine, ten miles rom Keswick,
and probably twice as many more in and
about its three smelters at Keswick.
A year ago there was one house in the
town proper, where to-day there are at
least fifty HOUSES, eight saloons. three ho-
tells and several families living in tents -or
anything that will afford shelter. A plant
for weekly newspa per. to be called the
Mountain Miner is on the ground, and
tae publication Will soon make its appear
ance. A school district has been organ
lied, and already has voted to bond itself
for $4,000 for a schoo!house.
There are but few families as yet, be-
cause there are no suitable accom- noda-
tions, but the company has commenced
the construction OF forty-five new cot
tages, which it will rent to its employees.
Private parties will build as many more
houses during the summer if the lumbe
holds out.
The floating population is large. There
is a constant stream in and out of men
packing their blankets. The smelter
smoke is more than some can stand long,
and the outward bound string of men is
com posed of those who are smoked out"
The inward bound string is made up of
those seeking employment.
Locally the town is invariably called
Keswick, but that is really the name OF
the railroad station and postoffice two
miles distant. The founders of the town
site christened it South Park. In estab-
fishing the school district the name
Compton was given. and when it came to
naming the postoffice the department at
Washington, for reasons of its own, would
have none Of these names. Finally the
called Taylor, in honor of the late Clay
w. Taylor, and the department at Wash
ingtOn approved of the choice.

PERJURY IN A SAN JOSE TRIAL.
Prosecuting Witness Admits That He SWore
Falsely and Is Committed
10 Prison

SAN JOSE, CAL, June II. NJ. Brim-
son, who had Grover Glare arrested a few
days ago on charge of stealing a watch,
was to-day charged with perjury. On
Saturday Brimson complained that his
watch had been stolen by Clare and sold
to A. L. Lowenstein for 81 80. At the trial
this morning 1t was proved by Clare and
William Brimson, brother iof the COM
plainant, that the latter had given the
watch 10 Clare to pawn, and Brimso n had
full knowledge of the fact that the watch
was disposed of to Lowenstein for 81 so
OF this money Clare got 80 cents and the
complainant 81.
Brimson admitted on the stand to-day
the facts as proved by his brother and
Clare, and that his oath in making the
petty larceny complaint was false. He
claimed it was done to recover the watch
without paying back the money which
yas realized upon it.
On this startling statement the defend
ant was discharged, and Brimson was or
dered into custody while the District At
torney took steps to prepare perjury
complaint against him. Brimson's ex-
animation was set for tom orrow morning
and bail fixed at $1,000.

Failure of the Attempt
to Operate Faro
Games.
Officials Induce Owners OF
Buildings Not to Lease
Quarters.
Citizens Of the Town Determined
to Prevent the Threatened
Invasion.

SAUSALITO, CAL, June 7.--Law ana
order triumphed in Sausalito to-day. The
faro games were ready, new outfits arrived
on the morning boats but not card was
dealt, not wheel OF fortune revolved, and
the colored ia bles failed 10 dazzle the eyes
of the betting public.
Prosecuting Attorney Adolph Sylvia this
morning visited one of the faro resorts in
Ell Monte Hotel, on Water street, and in
formed the men in charge that the law
would be enforced at the first attempt to
open a resort where wheels OF fortune or
any other gambling devices were TO be
operated. The gam blers were disposed TO
DEFY the law, but the propr!etors OF tine
house wherein the games were 10 be
operated, were fearful of the consequences.
J. Z. Slinkey rented apartments in his
hotel to Argyll & Harvey fol- $lOo. This
money was paid back this morning, the
Prosecuting Attorney witnessing the
transa ction.
The poolroom proprietors-Harrison &
Co., and Abraham & Co.-are as much
interested IN the downing of the faro
resorts as are the officers and the people,
for If the gambling dens open, Sausali!o
people will not only run them out, but
will eject the poolrooms as well.
lnlS morning an eaTly OOdG DlOuShL d
faro outfit 10 Sausaiito. No attempt was
made to hide il, and within ten minutes
every person in town knew of the arrival.
The officers were on deck and the pro-
prietors were cautioned against opening
in Sausalito. Attorney Sylvia told the
gam biers that IL the police torce In oausR-
Ito was not sufficient TO handle them he
would call upon San Rafael and other
towns to send their deputies to uphold the
law. On the streets of Sausalito to-day
could be seen more gamblers than have
invaded the town for many day. Every
one was looking forward TO excite ment,
and scattered about In the town were
officers from Mill Valley, Larkspur and
other towns in the county.
The large building 10 be opened by
Hughes & Co. of St. Louis is almost com
pleted. 1t is said that as soon as this is
opened for business more trouble will be
in store. Already two poolrooms are in
active operation, and two, so say the peo-
ple, are enough. The report that Hughes
& Co. intend TO run other gambling games
cannot be substantiated, but II Is gen.
eralIy believed to be true.
