water, as it will permit the use of
much smaller nozzles on the pipes
when running a light load.
l found that the largest water
wheel was discharging a large
part of it's water at random under
the station, whence it was led
through a ditch to the
fields below the station in
stead of running into the
reservoir-Thereby wasting enor-
nous quantities of water as well
as making very unhealthy mud
pool of the station basement. This
has been remedied and l have
filled in the space below the floor
and shall put in a cement floor as
soon as | can get the cement.
L have made considerable re-
pairs on the buildings and
grounds, which are now graded
and dry instead of forming mud
pool as formerly. 1 have had a
fire plug put in the main pipes
and have procured fire hose and
nozzle.
The above are the more impor-
tant items of the work that has
been done. Every thing is done
under my personal supervision
and most of the machine work by
myself. This kind of work is ne
nessarily slow, owing to the fact
that everything must be in con-
dition TO run every night at 5 p.
IN. it is an easy matter to keep a
system in good order, but a hard
matter to put in good shape sys-
that has run down.
In regard to safety--no system
is safe and accidents will happen
and are happening in the finest
plants in the world. There are
certain rules, however, which if
observed will go for to reduce liza
bilIty to accident, and | would
venture to suggest that a Commit
tee be appointed in part Of re-
preventative from each of the va
rious concerns who have or will
have wires run in the streets.
Such committee to promulgate
certain rules regarding the run
ming of wires, such rules to be-
come subsequently an Act of
Legislation.

BOY SHOT m THE BACK
THE COLD-BLOODED MURDER OF
CHRIsToDAL CRoSTHWAITE
Escaped Ensenada Convicts Guilty OF
Foul Crime in the Barbon
Valley

SAN DIEGO, Cal, July 25.-Cristoba
Crosthwaite. the 16-year-old son of Philir
Crost waite, one Of the pioneers of this
section. was sho, through the heart Friday
morning about sixty miles from Ensenada
The cold-blooded murderers of this young
men were three escaped Mexican soldiers,
and the incidents leading to this atrocious
deed are explained as follows:
Cristobal Costhwalte and another young
men named Macaleer son of Charles Maca-
leer. an old settler In Lower California
left Ensenada several days ago to herd
cattle in the Barbon Valley.
Friday morning, Just before the young
men breakfasted, the three convicte rode
recognized them az dangerous characters
they were treated with the utmost courtesy
and Joined in the meal prepared. When the
breakfast was cleared away, Crosthwaite
left the party to get his horses and prepare
for the work. Hardly had his back been
turned when one of the convicts sent bull
let whizzing through his heart.
Young Macaleer instantly realized his
danger also and dashed into the brush
close by. thereby saving his life.
Before the convicts left they stripped theil
tent of everything that might be Of service
to them.
Half crazed with fear and almost dead
form exhaustion young Macaleer reached
Ensenada that night and told the story. A
posse of several bands Of rurales and about
fifty citizens started In pursuit.

A DESPERATE FIREBUG
Tries to Get Even for His Partners
Death

STOCKTON, July 25.-Stockton was Wis
tied by four fires last night, at least two
of which are believed to be incendiary. An
anteroom In Bersaglieri Hall, in which that
society, the Verein Eintracht, the Frau Yer
Elm, Court Schiller, Foresters of America
and Stockton Circle. Companions of the F.
of A, held their meetings, was Quilted. The
alarm was sounded about midnight, and
while the firemen were at work the Terminal
City Wheelmen clubrooms in the Odd Eel
lows building, vas discovered to be on
fire. In the former fire regaia and books
of the orders were destroyed, and in the
other fire the furniture and large silver
trophy cup, known as the Weinstock-Lubin
Cup, was destroyed. Both fires were evil
IDENTIFY incendiary. This is the second time
the latter building has been set on fire within
a year. The other two fires were outside
the city limits in the additions.
About ten months ago an attempt was
made to burn the city by James Ford, who
was killed after a running fight with the
officers. Ford had a partner who threat
ened to get even, and the fires started after
midnight are attributed to him.

RAND MINING NOTES
BARSTOW SHELTER DOES NOT
FULFILL EXPECTATIONS
Yellow Aster's Big Cleanup-Squaw
Springs Water Now on Sale.
Improved Facilities

RANDSBURG, July 25.-The Barstow
smelter is not proving the boon to the Rand
district that it promised to be before the
works were completed, nor Is it, with one
exception, reducing any ore from the
mines hereabouts. The one exception rs
the Yellow Aster company, which has
leased and is operating under its own SUI
pervision thirty of the MILL fifty stamps.
The reduction works, previous to starting
Iup, promised 81 hauling and milling rate
on all ore delivered at the railroad termiH us
at johannesburg or they would buy all
dumps that would pay milling, paying
therefor 30 per cent of the assay value. BE-
fore the works started up, however, the
rate was raised 20 IS, and what ore has
been shipped there has been paid for on
the valuation of SIG to the ounce, instead
of S20G7, the company assuming that desert
gold is not UP to the standard. 1t Is true
that the gold from this region as II is eN-
tracted from the quartz is only about 100
per cent fine, but after it has stood the fire
test 1t mus pass through in the process Of
assaying, 1t cannot be other than 1000 fine,
and as such must be worth $20.67. and how
the Barstow company can arbitrarily put
has not yet been made clear 20 the Rand
miner. AS the matter now stands the
miner who ships his ore to Barstow must
stand to lose 20 per cent of its value, beside
the cost of milling or the 10 per cent the
company allows him when purchasing ore.
but the miners generally are willing 20 SUI
fer that loss, therefore the reduction COM
pany is doing very small business with
this district, and were It not for the Yellow
Aster company 1t Is probable that every
one of their stamps would be hung.
The Yellow Aster cleanup at the Bar
stow Reduction works for the iirst half of
July amounted to nearly $1,000 AT that
rate the output for the whole month will
be larger than any month so ear this year
Last month a dividend Of $4,000 was de-

fellow arose and saw him take the re-

A Mexican Bandit
Last Saturday evening two prominent

standing the fact that the fellow had an
accomplice across the street, one of the
ladies turned loose on the fellow, and his
partner. seeing the stars fly from dis
lance deemed prudence the better part of
valor and took far-away sight at the un-
expected encounter. The would-be robber
was so dazzled by the sparkle of the stars
produced by the lady's right arm as 1t
landed on his Jaw that he beat a hasty re-
