when at the depth Of 1900 feet the con-
tractor encountered what is known as
heaving sand. This the well borers
were unable to overcome and after an
expenditure Of nearly $4,000 the boring
had to be stopped completely.
About year ago Mr.. Durbrow with
his patent we'll rig finished an artesian
we'll at Walters which had been aban-
doned by the Southern Pacific company
because Of heaving sand. Learning this
Messrs. Maier & Zobelein sent for Mr.
Durbrow, and after he had made pre-
liminary prospect Of the we'll he OBJ
tained flowing stream which showed
pressure of 43 pounds to the square
inch, which equals a rise in pipe of
100 feet above the surffHe. This flow was
only temporary because the proper tools
were not at hand.
The castings, pipes, ETC., will be ready
by December 10 when Mr.. Durbrow ex-
poets to begin the work. He will drill
down 200 feet, making a total depth OF
1900 feet, and when the we'll is finished he
anticipates a flow of 10000 gallons per
hour, which will be very important
matter for a brewery. The water thus
far obtained has been anaylzed and
found to be perfectly pure.

A BIG HosTELRY
Plans Are Being Prepared for Huge

Plans Are Being Prepared for Huge
Sanitarium at Indio
The hotel at Indio is filling up rapidly
with eastern invalids. 1t Is not very
large hostelry, but if the plans of some
capitalists, among them George W.
Durbrow, the owner of the Salton salt
works, meet with success, Indio will
within q year be one of the greatest
sanitariums on the Pacific coast 1t is
the plan of these men to form company
with a cash capital of $25O,000 to build
an adobe hotel Of two stories capable Of
accommodating 200 guests. A quarter
or half section of land will be laid out as
park and in this the hotel will be To-
Gated, as we'll as a number of cottages
scattered through the grounds,
which will be devoted to such invalids
whose presence by reason of their in
firmities would be irksome to the gen.
eral public.
These cottages would contain a sit
ting, dining, bed and bathroom, and
would be connected with the main hotel
by telephone. A. little railway from the
kitchen to these detached residences
would be employed to take dinners kept
hot by fire on the little cars to their
inmates. The hotel itself would con-
sist of four wings in the form Of a cross,
the center of which would be a huge
dining room, with a large kitchen near
by. but detached from the main build.

The climate of Indio is unequaled for
consumptives on account of it's dryness.
Although at this season of the year the
nights are cold. necessitating the use of
at least couple of blankets. the days

rises never less than 60 to 10 degrees in

A GREAT STRIKE
PLACER GROUND THAT AVERA-
GES 81 PER YARD
Located in Cattle Canyon, Branch of
the Old San Gabriel, by w. g.
McGinty-Quartz Ledge

An energetic and determined man
does not need to go to Alaska to make
good mining strike that will net him
handsome return.
For very many years mining has been
carried on in the San Gabriel canyon in
a spasmodic kind of way, but some of
the work now being carried on is not to
be defined in any such way. To strike
wide stretch Of placer ground. the pay
gravel of which averages from 81 to $1S0
per cubic yard, is bit of good fortune
than any man might be proud Of And
yet this is just what has befallen Mr..
w. G. McGinty, who is an old time Col
orado miner.
Two years ago Mr.. McGinty came to
Los Angeles from Colorado and followed
the business Of architect and builder.
But a man that has been inoculated with
the virus of the mining fever is liable to
have an attack at any time. And so 1t
proved for last August McGinty start
ed off for the San Gabriel canyon and
for month he prospected in the main
canyon as well as others adjacent to
it. Early in September he struck
quartz ledge. and finding the rock as
sayed $239.33 right at the grass roots, he
opened up upon it and the average Of
the assays is now about $S7.40. The
workings of this incipient mine are on
the west side Of Old Baldy and the
owner intends to put men to work and
develop the property next spring.
But another slice Of good luck await
ed McGinty, for upon prospecting
through Cattle canyon he discovered
some splendid placer ground that he
hastened to locate. Heretofore most of
the prospecting has been confined to the
main river, and there is no reason to
suppose that Cattle canyon was ever
prospected before. The pay gravel is
from four to twenty feet in thickness
and ranges, as heretofore stated, from
81 to $1.S0 per cubic yard.
Mr.. McGinty is now in the city, and
has placed an order for Is horse pow
er engine and hydraulic plant. When
it is remembered that the North Bloom
field. mines averaged only from 40 to 80
cents per cubic yard, 1t will be under
stood what good thing has now been
found in Cattle canyon.

ORPHEUM.-The bill this week Is
specially attractive, on account Of the
absence of the monologue artist with
his budget of second and third rate old
jokes. While his turn is an indispens-
able portion of O vaudeville show,
according to accepted standards, yet his
absence for a time may not be deplored,
and when he comes again, whatever
name he may bear, it is to be hoped that
the moss-grown platitudes that are so
familiar may be exchanged for some
thing original in the way Of fun.
There are only two hold-overs on the
Orpheum bill this week. The first is the
sketch by Olschansky and Miss Lonny
in their grotesque tumbling act, and the
second Is the Countess Hatzfeldt in her
trio of songs and her duo Of costumes, in
the latter of which she looks quite be-
witching. The countess understands
the art Of costuming.
The Misses Cooke and Clinton exhibit
their skill in firearms without any
misses at all. They use powder that is
both noiseless and smokeless, SO that
one is able to admire their dexterity and
skill without being annoyed by the usual
disturbing conditions.
A. o. Duncan is ventriloQuist who
Is perhaps the best in his line that has
been seen on this stage. His work is
clean-cut, amusing. and entirely free
from offense, such as Is too often given
by people who practice this speciality
Mr.. Duncan is a finished artist in his line
and we'll deserved the liberal applause
which he received.
The Tobins discourse music on strange
brass instruments with harmonious ef-
feet. The male Tobin sings Bedouin
love songs and the like with very fair
voice, and the lady Tobin, who has a
very attractive, plump and pleasing per-
sonality, won the entire favor of the au-
dience when she got inside her big brass
horn and made dulcet notes ring through
the auditorium.
The bill is closed by a daring and
graceful act on the trapeze, horizontal
bars and rings by Madamoiselle Leopol-
dine, who is graceful and symmetrical
young woman, agile as cat, and appar-
emily entirely without fear
The entertainment, as a whole, con-
tinues to deserve the large share of the
public patronage which 1t receives.

STATEMENT
FirstDay of the Fiscal Year
for the Auditor
OIL WELLS MAY NOW BE SHOT
OIL WELLS MAY NOW BE SHOT
BUSINESS BEFORE THE POLICE
COMMISSION
Abbot Kinney Protests Against Spring
Street Resurfacing Being Charged
to Property Owners

The fiscal year in the financial depart
ment of the city government, that is In
the office Of the city auditor and those
under him, closed yesterday and today
begins new one. Owing to the fact
that the payment of city taxes closed on
Monday evening, except such payments
rs were mailed prior to that day, and
that the complete report of collections
could not be made at once, City Auditor
Nichols has found it impossible to begin
work on his annual report. He, however,
hopes to have it ready for the considera-
ton Of the city council by the next
meeting. The work has been much
heavier in the auditors department
during the past year than for several
years. This will be shown when it is
stated that during the past twelve
months 1892 warrants have been audit
ed. Every warrant is demand upon
the city for an amount of money and al
though these amounts have ranged from
a few cents to thousands of dollars each
of them have demanded almost the same
amount of attention and work. There
are specified channels through which
they must go and at least three de-
partments pass upon them before they
are finally paid.
TAXES COLLECTED
The total amount Of taxes paid as
hrst instalment, which closed Monday,
will not be known until all of the cheeks
that have been sent by mail from dis
tant points are compared and honored
by the banks. Credit is not given on the
books to checks unless the parties are
we'll known, until the checks are hon.
ored. 1t will. therefore, be several days
before the exact figures can be an
nounced. The total amount for which
receipts have been issued for the first
instalment is $369,7S612. OF this $780,
1875 was collected during October and
$3.50, ,54S17 in November.
An apportionment among the different
city funds of 100000 was made yester-
day by the city auditor. This clears ev-
cry fund and places all of them on the
right side of the ledger. Some of them
are in the best condition that they have
been since the first Of the general fiscal
year. The total apportionments to date
have been $370,000. This amount, it will
be seen, is greater than the total amount
of taxes collected, but portion of the
apportionments were made by using a
part OF the personal tax fund which was
already In the treasury.

MAY USE DYNAMITE
Shooting of Oil Wells Allowed-Police
Commission Business

At the regular meeting of the board
of police commissioners yesterday di-
vision occurred over the matter of al
lowing the use Of high explosives in
shooting" oil wells. The Rex Oil COM
pany petitioned for permission to shoot
a well, and filed security in the sum
of $1,000 against all damage which might
be done to surrounding property. Mayor
Snyder opposed the motion to grant the
petition. He said the practice was dan
gerous and that other oil men objected
to it, G. w. Magner, who represented
the company, stated that 1t contem-
plated the use of only a few pounds
of giant powder at depth that made
injury to persons or property impossi-
BILE. The petition was granted after a
long discussion.
A numerously signed petition from res
idents Of the vicinity Of Highland Park
was received. In it the people COM
plain of the presence there of certain
dog kennels, saying they are public
nuisance and menRce to the health
of the neighborho5d r17e aaAtcer was
referred to Chief Glass for investigation.
George Joerimann, who had filed an
application for a saloon license at Main
street and Moulton avenue, withdrew 1t
before it had been considered.
A petition was read from o. Fl. Hinters,
asking permission to keep his business
sign on a telephone pole until next year,
when all such poles will be removed
from the streets in the business portion
of the city. The request was filed for the
present.
Clemens Sachse flied an application for
a saloon license at 901 San Pedro street,
which was referred to the chief. This
application will renew the fight made
two months ago against saloon in that
|section Of the city, because Of it's prox-
unity to the Newsboys' home Then the
defeated an effort to secure license.
and it Is almost certain that they will
take up the fight again.
]. F. Nash asked for saloon license
at 401 South Los Angeles street. The
matter was referred to the chief.
A communication from the National
Bureau of Identification of Chicago to
Chief Glass, requesting his assistance
in securing pictures Of known crooks,
was read before the board and the chief
stated that he would send such pictures
and information as he thought would be
desired. The bureau is for the assist
ance Of police departments generally
throughout the country. Chief Glass is
a member Of the board Of governors. If
the Bertillon system Of measurements
was in force here, better results would
be possible in Identification of suspects.

with the robbery, he, it seems, having
