A FINE PROPERTY
The Inyo, Owned by Pomona Capital
CT

lists
Probably the most successful mining
enterprise managed by Pomona capital
lists is the Inyo County Mining and De-
velopment company, says the Pomona
Beacon. The company was formed
about one year since, and purchased the
Lane silver mines near Keeler, Inyo
county. There are three claims. Three
shafts have been sunk, the deepest one
being at present nearly 700 feet, from
which tunnels are run at various depths.
In all, the tunnels and shafts now ag-
gregate 2700 feet, all of which have
shown almost limitless quantities of ore.
The smelling heretofore has been done
either at Denver or San Francisco, which
necessitated an expenditure of $S per ton
drayage and So freight to San Francis
CO and $21 freight to Denver. Fifty
cars have been shipped during the past
year, which netted on an average $1,000
per car.
To avoid this great expense, a $4,000
smelter is being erected at the mine,
which will be in working condition in a
short time.
There is a large quantity of ore on the
dump ready for the smelter. 1t Is a
lower grade of ore than would pay ship
ping, as only the richest ore, running,
say, 100 ounces to the ton, has been
shipped. That remaining and already
mined will run from 25 ounces to 80
ounces per ton, and will repay smelling
at the mine, especially as the same ore
runs from 81 to 65 per cent lead.
These improvements will demand an
increased force of men. At present 25
men constitute the force, which will be
more than doubled when the smelter Is
in operation.

sCHILLING'S OFFER
Would Like to Get Floater but De-
tective Goodman Says emit

The trial for embezzlement against
William Schilling, alias Carl Schlitz,
the lodging house beat, was continued
yesterday until next Friday by Judge
Morrison because of jury trial, which
took all day in the police court.
The attorneys for the defense have
been asking Detective Goodman to dis
miss or cause to be dismissed all cases
pending or to be brought against their
oily German client, and offered to let
him plead guilty to charge of vagrancy.
provided it could be stipulated in ad-
vance that he should get six-months'
floater. OF course, Los Angeles would
then be rid of Schilling, but he would un-
load himself upon some other city to
play his bilking trade there.
Detective Goodman, however, has pos
itively declined to consent to such an ar
rangement. If Schlitz is convicted on
any charge it would afford Mr.. Goodman
great pleasure to see the fraud doing
time with pick and shovel and ball and
chain upon the public streets.

prior convictions for petty larceny COM

Republican Notes Coming Due

The Republican party is in trouble be-
cause it's own notes are coming due and
it has no way of meeting them. 1t prom
ised that it's tariff would give everybody
employment at good wages and put a
surplus into the treasury. 1t has had its
own way about the tariff, and wages are
going down while the deficit in the treas
ury is piling up. If the Republican party
had taken the ground that commercial
and industrial conditions were independ-
ent of the action of governments, it
might be less disturbed by trade de-

THE STOVES EXPLODED
Two Small Fires Caused by Coal Oil
and Gasoline

A coal oil stove exploded at 430 o'clock
yesterday afternoon in a cottage occu-
pied by Vim. Gillespie at 231 Bernard

ical engine, and the loss will not exceed
$40.
At 8 p. m. an alarm was turned in from
the corner of Alameda and First streets

pied by Henry Foster at 242 Banning

sumed, but the furniture in the place
was saved. The damage is computed at

LOS ANGELES. Jan. II, 1S9S
"To the Members of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association of Los
Angeles-Gentlemen: Having become
identified with this association on Aug.
1st last, my report for the first six
months of the year must necessarily be
based on the records found in this Office
and not upon any personal knowledge of
it's affairs covering that period. 1t is a
matter of congratulation that the asso-
ciation finds itself in most prosperous
and encouraging condition, with every
indication that the present year will
mark a new era in it's advancement and
development.
"At the outset I desire to call the at
tention of the association to its member
ship No institution in this city appeals
more strongly and more directly to the
support Of every merchant and manu-
facturer than this association. No in
stitution has labored more industriously
and faithfully for the advancement of
the interests of this community at large
and of the mercantile and Industrial
spheres In particular than the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers' association
"No reason can be assigned for the
lack of interest manifested by those who
have failed to become members, and /
would strongly urge that united effort

Gladstone and Tennyson.
Irrom Harners Weeklv.

On the subject of Mr. Gladstone's ON
niscience much mas been written. 1 had the
opportunity of conYersing on the subject
with two of his friends, the late Lord
Tennyson and the late Cardinal Manning
On two or three occasions / have heard
Lord Tcnnyson declare that Mr.. Gladstone
acquired a reputation for universal knowl-
edge. which, if not fictitious, was based on
the reverence paid by those ignorant
of a subject to one able 10 discourse freely
upon it, For example, said Lord Tenny-
son: Mr.. Gladstone knows little about
either china or horses. To a collector of
china he appears to have the most re-
markable knowledge of equine affairs To
china maniacs, however well versed in the
history of pottery Of all ages, he seems TO
be a HOmerc scholar past compare
Scholars. however, who had passed their
lives in studying the Iomerlc Legend, and
were steeped in Greek lore to their fingers
ends. profoundly believed that Mr.. Glad
stones conversation on Palissy-ware or
old Worcester, on Chinese Sang de Boeuf or
on old Dresden, contained the last word to
be said on those subjects.
During the whole Of the home rule con-
troversy Lord Tennyson's language on the
subject of Mr. Gladstone's foreign and do
nestle policy. which he deemed unpatri-
otic to the last degree, was marked by Wig
orous disapproval. In fact, have seldom
heard one great man speak Of another with
the direc tness ana freedom used by the
late poet laureate in reference to Mr.. Glad
stone. His last public utterance, how
ever, more accurately represents his real
feelings: 81 love Mr.. Gladstone but hate
his policy.
After separation of some years, Lord
Tennyson and Mr. Gladstone were brought
together at the house Of common friend
At FIRST Lord Tennyson preserved a more
or less gloomy silence, but as dinner pro-
crossed he succumbed to the witchery of
conversation which has immeshed thou
sands of hearers in its mysterious power
In the course of the evening the two "old
men eloquent" fraternized recalled old
times. and finally parted friends. On re-
firing to bed that night Lord Tennyson
said to his son, in a gruff voice, II am
sorry 1 have said all have said against
the fellow. you will again, father" was
the reply.
