LOS ANGELES COUNTY
Valuable Ledge Tapped Near the
Surface That Assays $40 Ton
in Gold

FALLBROoK STATION, Cal, May A
Arthur Coventry, young Englishman
has been prospecting his ranch near
Fallbrook This is an old settled country
and no one dreamed that anything of a
mineral nature would ever be develoned
here, but as Coventry went on excavating
and prospecting people began to take
more interest. Yesterday he came to a
ledge in tunnel thirty feet below the
surface. He, finds the ledge ten feet wide
of hard quartz, containing sui
phites, easily worked by the cyanide
process, and shows an assay of sl0
per ton in gold and considerable silver
Upon the discovery other farmers
began to prospect and found a large part
of the country composed of the same kind
of rock which shows gold in paving
quantities from the surface. While the
assays are low. the quantity of the ore
and the location of the district will serve
to increase it's value. The prospects are
within mile of the railroad station and
near a good stream of water, the Santa

One who has not been on the ground
has no idea of the difficulty and dangers
attending the project of Mr.. Wilson to
get down to the rookeries proper. The
"roosting' places of the seals are located
at the foot of cliffs that rise from the
water to a height Of 700 feet The favorite
resorts are in a circular cove protected
on the north, east and south by perpen-
dlcular bluffs, down which it is impOssi-
bic to descend unless the adventurer does
as Mr.. Wilson has done-cut steps into
the solid rocks Even then it is likely
that II will be necessary to use rope to
get to the water near the rookerles. By
the time Mr.. Wilson empties a few hun

moralized that it will be a long time be-

WANTS TO BE A MARTYR.
Notorious Jew Batter Attempts the
Guerin Act In Algiers.

Algiers, Sept. 21.-Max Regis, former
mayor of Algiers, and notorious Jew
batter, who returned here recently,
haunted by the idea that the govern
ment intended to arrest him and en-
vious of the notoriety of Jules Guerin,
shut himself up for four days with a
party of adherents in villa, labeled
'Anti-Juif," just outside the town. He
laid in a stock of provisions for a
siege.
Yesterday, apparently annoyed at the
absence of any move on the part of the
police, he issued forth and entered the
town, stirring UP anti-Jewish demon
strations, during which the windows of
several shops owned by Jews were
smashed. The Jews responded by fir
ing revolvers and the mob raised the
cry, Death to the Jews"
The riots continued throughout the
evening, and finally the troops charged
with drawn swords and dispersed the
rioters. Regis regained the villa and
barricaded himself and his compan-
io,.s.
During the ARRAY nine persons were
stabbed or shot, among them three
police agents and two inoffensive citi-
zens. 1t is reported that some Jews
were among the wounded. Order was

al, official of the company which sup
plies all but two of the papers printed IN
this city, use 400 tons OF paper daily, at
a cost of cents pound. The recent
sharp advance means $1,000 a day more
TO the newspapers, or $i30, 900 a year over
the price which has heretofore obtained.
The cost of the consumption is now
$4,000 a day. The tendency is to raise
the price syn higher. The advance is due
partly to the arouth of last summer,
which seriously impaired the water
power of the paper mills.
Book paper has also gone UP quarter
of a cent pound and letter paper from
q of a cent TO ! cent a pound.
The price of shoe leather has gone up
from ~ to per cent within the last
week. owing TO the scarcity of cow hide
material. Shoe manufacturers have signed
contracts with wholesale and retail shoe
houses which will not expire for months
to come. and so the patrons of retail
houses will not feel the advance until
December In the meantime, the manu-
facturers who have bound themselves by
contracts Will be the sufferers from the
rise in price.
A sharper advance still has been made
in the price of crude sole leather. For
two months the cost has been steadily
going up and yesterday it had advanced
cents per pound above the market
price paid in August. Still higher prices
are looked for by manufacturers. The
increased cost is due TO the scarcity OF
cattle as compared with the demand.
