NOTICE TO INVESTORS AND POWER

Power at One Half Its Former Cos

Power at One Half Its Former Cost
The Wright Wave Motor has realized the
dream of the inventors of the century in
demonstrating that it is practical to trans
form the mighty intermittent power in
the ocean waves into steady, reliable
mechanical power, available for any COM
mercial purpose. and at the same time to
furnish an automatic means of self-regu-
lation during storms.
The motor Is now in practical operation
at Potencia Beach, four miles north of
Redondo, on the Redondo branch of the
Santa Fe railroad.
Those who wish to satisfy themselves
that the motor is actually what it is
claimed to be, and that 1t is destined to
furnish the economic power of the future,
and who wish to secure some stock in it
before capital generally realizes its great
value should take the 10 a. m. Santa Fe
train to Potencia any day until Feb. 18th
(round trip so cents) and see this great
mechanical achievement, and wonder at
its simplicity, and satisfy themselves that
it is destined to work revolution in the
cost and method of creating power.
The millions of horse power now used
within fifty miles Of the sea coast through
out this and other countries, which, by
electrical transmission, can be supplied
by this motor, gives some idea of its enorm-
ous field of usefulness and revenue. Re-
member that Bell Telephone company
stock is now many thousand fold more
valuable than in its early history. Com
pare the respective fields of usefulness OF
the two inventions, and take advantage
of the opportunity to invest in Wright
Wave Motor company stock now. Patents

and applied for abroad.

whose ore Mr. O'Brien had with him.
Anyone seeing the virgin gold in the

Pacific road. Little over 100 feet of work
has been done, consisting of 30-foot
shaft and a 76-foOt drift on the vein,
which is four feet wide of stratified
quartz. About $4,000 has been taken
from the property in development work,
and it is now idle owing to litigation.

property recently bought by Mrs.

Hearst. Mr.. Herndon says the COM

ings have been included in the trans
action. There are 25 claims in the prop
erty, all of which are comparatively
undeveloped. The ore, it is said, gets
richer and better as it descends in the
earth. The probability Is that the 10

to 100 stamps, and instead of 800 work
men being employed fully 1900 will find
steady Work.-PhoeniX Gazette.

DISCUSSING PAPAL ACTION.
Spanish Cabinet Still Conferring With
European Powers.

1915 p. m.-The Ministers continue
their reserve respecting yesterdays Cab
met council. But it is believed to have
been occupied principally with a tele-
gram from Cardinal Rampolh, Papal
Secretary of State, relative to Papal ac-
ton.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns that the discussion was
very animated between those favoring,
and those opposed to further attempts
a mediation or negotiation. Senor MOret
Secretary for the Colonies, encrgeticarly
sustained his conciliatory views, and was
listened to with great attention.
The council terminated after agreeing
as 10 the draft of the response to be
sent to Cardinal Rampolla. Tonight
the Papal Nuncio called upon Senior Sa-
gasta and received from him the reply
decided upon.
IL p. m.-Senor Gullon, the Foreign
Minister, has had several conferences
with the ambassadors of the powers,
rumors having been circulated that the
failure of the POpes efforts was owing
to the attitude of the United States.
The Nuncature here has issued the
following note:
"The Nunciature has to-day higher
hopes than ever of the success of
Papal Intervention. 1t is not true that
President Mckinley has rejected the
POpe's Intervention in favor of peace
Such impoliteness would be the more i'm
polite. not only because it would dis
play a harbarous intolerance, but be-
cause, however much any person might
be the Pope's enemy, it would be i'm
possible to misintcrpret the voice of the
venerable old man who recommends the
preservation of peace. On the other
hand the Catholics of North America
would never pardon such a disregard of
the Vicar General of their church"
The general tone of the evening pa-
pers is one of satisfaction, with the in
reference Of the European powers, as
showing that the latter realize Sp2in's
determined attitude against further con-
cessions to America. Some doubt is eX-
pressed, however as to the result of in
