SMASHED THE WINDOWS
All Because He Disliked the Chinese
Cook

SANTA MONICA, March 20--The twen-
ty-six windows on the ground floor of the
Mooney mansion, the Santa Monica home
of Colonel and Mrs. A. b. Hotchkiss. were
smashed to smithereens on Friday night
by an Irshman named John, employed by
the colonel as a sort of caretaker. In the
colonels employ also is Chinese cook, to
whom John has taken violent dislike, so
violent, In fact, that he gave vent to his
feelings on the windows when his employer
refused to discharge the Celestial.
This son of Erin tried to convince the
colonel that the feeling of the residents
in that neighborhood was identical with
his on the subject of the cook, by telling
him that the deed was done by masked
men, who wished to boycott the attorney
for employing Chinaman. However, this
morning he began to realize that it was
fshy story and confessed to Colonel Hotch-
kiss that he did the deed. The officers say
that Mr.. and Mrs. Hotchkiss will not pros
ecute the offender.

Riverside Notes

RIVERSIDE, March 20.-Arbor day aud
the planting of trees has become quite a
popular thing with the schools of this
county and many of the schoolhouses in
the country districts are now surrounded
by fine groves of trees, where few years
ago all was bare and univiting. A major
ity of the district schools observed arbor
day this year on February 22 but Olive
school district observed the day last FRI
day. Five acres were laid off and set 10
200 trees on that day. The schools of this
city will engage in tree planting Satur-
day next.
A meeting of deciduous fruit growers of
this county will be held at the courthouse
Thursday next for the purpose of organ

put the new exchange on the right track
There Is quite feeling among the decidu-
Gus fruit growers of this county for or
ganizatlon, and the indications are that
the exchange will start off with not only
big membership but also one that will
include about all the prominent growers In
the county.
Recent statements in a Los Angeles pa
per ana also in San Francisco publication
to the effect that the fruit blossoms Of a
great part of the orchards of this city were
destroyed by frost the past week could not
well be farther from the truth. AS mat
ter of fact the damage was very slight, SO
little in fact that 1t is not worth noting.
The fear held by some in this city that
there would be a scarcity of water for irri-
CATION purposes the coming summer has
been dispelled by the generous fall of snow
which came with the stormy weather in
the mountain ranges the past week.

Congress, is In the city. He has for years
given up the pick and drill and has pros
pered fairly well. He is now associated with
Charles Shellaburger in developing five
claims, located three and half miles
northeast of Congress. They began last
October and have in the meantime sunk
fifteen shafts from ten to twenty feet,
along on the blind ledge. In each place the
vein is encountered. Il ranges from eight
cen inches to two feet in thickness, and as
says an average of $50 a ton. There is at
present 200 tons of assorted ore on the
dump that runs from 5000 to 5000 ton. Four
men are now working, and it is proposed
to put the group in good condition so it will
be producer. The character of ore is free
milling and the vein quite regular.-Phoe-

Bound to Kill

SAN BERNARDINO, March 2O.-There is
evidently trouble and tragedy brewing
on the desert, and the news from Bagdad
will be watched with more interest for the
next few days than the actions Of congress
and Spain. Sheriff f. l.. Holcomb last night
received the following startling dispatch
over the wires:
'BAGDAD, March 19-Sheriff, San Ber-
nardino: ] will kill Stewart tonight II he
comes out of his place tonight.
CHARLES ELLIOTT"
The doomed man is the keeper of the
Bagdad saloon, and there has evidently
been trouble. The place is becoming noto-
rious for its murders. and the sheriff looked
upon It az no idle threat and telegraphed
back to Stewart, warning him of his dan
ger, This will not avert the attempt prob
ably, but as Stewart is fearless man, It
may result in his getting the drop and kill
ing the other man, in which case the tele-
gram would be important evidence to make
1t appear to be self-defense.

The New Mill

1t sounds good to hear the continual
thump of the stamps over at the new mill
on Fiddler's gulch, says the Randsburg
Miner. 1t is the beginning of a new era
in Randsburg. Less than a year ago to-
day a man who was supposed to be well
posted on water and water formations said
to the writer: you can never expect to
make much of town Of Randsburg, for
without mills mining town is necessarily
tame, and you can newer have water" We
now have the first mill and will have the
water in very short time. The mill is well
supplied with water and will be better
supplied in the near future. In starting
the new mill Messrs. Pridham & Quinn
wisely argued that it is better to have a
small mill and keep 1t running contin-
ually than to have large one and let
it lie idle half the time; that is why the
new mill is only a two-stamper. But they
have ample power to run two more stamps,
and we predict that ere another six months
roll around they will be dropping four
stamps instead of two.

MINES AND MINERS
r r
r ffff+ + + + + ff* 4 r r r + + r .fsff

For fifty years California has enjoyed the
distinction of being the largest gold pro-
ducing section of the United States. For
the last twenty years, however, it has
maintained this position in spite of the
apathy or active opposition of majority
of the residents of the state. Those in the
cities declined to invest in mining proper
ties or aid them with loans, while those in
the country maintained an active opposi-
ton to the miners and mining industry.
Gradually these prevailing ideas have
changed, and now the mining industry is
looked to again with some respect. For
time, however, 1t was all Sunshine, fruit
and flowers," and the gold was ignored,
though 1t was this which organized, set
tied and developed the state. The present
residents Of the state, many of whom
know little or nothing of mines or our min
ing history have an object lesson before
them in the Klondike craze to prove what
an attraction gold mines are when we'll ad
vertised. The Klondike has not yet pro-
duced one-eighth of the amount produced
in this state last year. Yet people are
going there from all over the world, and
many thousands are leaving our state also.
Millions of dallars are being expended for
outfits and transportation, and millions
are being invested by companies trading or
doing business with the new gold section.
The output from the Klondike region In
1897 was not over two and half millions.
California, in the same period, gave min
eral products valued at $24 ,291 32S, of Which
s17, ,1S1, ,562 was gold. Our mineral product
is therefore valued at over $2,OOO,O00
month 1t would seem that an industry
of this great productive capacity should
meet with every encouragement. If many
of those investing In Klondike ventures
or enterprises would put their money into
mining claims in this state there would
be more chance of getting regular and
steady returns. There are plenty Of op-
portunities to be had here, where no very
great amount of money is needed. And
our own people should also pay some at
tention to our home mining interests and
encourage them, as far as possible, by
word and deed. There is no larger or more
productive gold belt in the world than is to
be found within the borders of the state of
California. 1t seems strange, therefore,
that we should have to depend largely
on the capital from abroad to open our
mines, while our own people make their
investments in other places. This has
are thousands of prospects now lying idle
and in need of development in California
that Californians should open, equip and
transform into dividend-paying Mines

Good But Not Too Good

Recently report Of "rich strike" in the
western part of Sisliyou county was chron-
icled in the telegraphic dispatches in the
usual vague and sensational style of such
reports and the ore was reproted to go
$4,000 a ton instead of the $1,000, which is the
regulation figure in such cases. The latest
account of this probably valuable find is
the following from the 6iskiyou County
Reporter of Port Jones:

Jack Hay and Dave Kingerey were out

A Good Cleanup

Superintendent Gould of the Orc Mining
company has taken charge of the Old Glory
property. In run of thirteen days he
cleaned up over $1,000 worth of bullion,
which he brought in Saturday. When inter-
viewed regarding the Old Glory property
he said that in his opinion the mine was
a good property and the machinery is
first-class, and under careful management
it would surely pay well. The property is
unfortunately in litigation and pending set
tlement of same by the courts much cannot
be expected from it. A settlement will,
however. probably be made next month";

The Gladiator

The strike recently made in the Gladiator
mine is said by parties who have visited
the property to be very important one.
The mine is opened up by means of tunnels
anda drifts to the 600-foot level. At this
depth shaft was sunk 80 feet and the
seventh level was started at this point by
starting a drift, both north and south.
The recent strike was made in the south
drift, commencing at a point about 30 feet
from the shaft, where an ore body was
struck nearly six feet wide. They have
continued the drift nearly ten feet IN this
ore body and as yet it shows no signs of
lessening in width. While those in charge
of the mine are very reticent in regard to
the value of the ore, it is known
that it is quite rich. The ore body
in the north drift of this level, while not
being SO wide. is very much richer. The
striking of this ore body at this depth only
confirms the oft-repeated theory and Oft
demonstrated fact, as well as that the
mines of this section improve with depth

Gold From the Dragons

F. e. Braley was exhibiting some excel
lent gold rock today from his mine in the
Dragons near South Pass. Free gold can
plainly be seen, and assays taken show an
average of s1OO gold per ton. The ledge
is from eight inches to one foot in width,
and holds it's value remarkably well. The
shaft is so feet deep, and it is proposed to
take out the ore and ship, some of the ore
being sacked already. We are pleased to
note this fiattering development in this

develop their properties also and bring
