Ideals are all very well in their

ford pleasure, l suppose, to the person
tndulging in them, undoubted amuse-

and, besides this, they have two other
advantages, their harmlessness, and
their convenient submission to being

StOnewall Mine

An important mining deal is report ed 10 have been consummated in San Diego, the transaction involving the transfer of over S2,OOo, 900, and one of the best known mining properties in this end of the State.
 According to these advices, S. H. Lucas, mining man of Los Angeles, has negotiated the purchase of the Stonewall gold mine, situated near Julian, in San Diego county, for a company of New York capitalists. While it has not been made public, it is understood that the consideration was close to S2, ,225,O00.
 The property was owned by the late Gov. Waterma n, and since his death has remained in the Waterman estate. For nine years the property has been idle, but during its active life it pro- duced nearly S3,00O,OO0 worth of bull lion. It is considered a irst-class mine, and it is understood that it is the plan of the new owners to colonize the 5O,OO0 acres of tillable land which goes with the purchase.

After California Iron

The prospect that California fuel oil will become prominent servant im smeliing ores is leading to d scramble for iron mines which have long been known to exist. but which have been considered valuless without suitable coal for smelling them. Sau Diego is giving cousidera ble attention to d re- ported discovery of iron or the line of the railroad survey between that city aud Imperial, while other desert iron mines are being sought for. The San Bernar ardino Sun says:
 "A syndicate of Eastern capitalists are rapidly acquiring possession of all the large iron deposits in this county, in fact they are securing control of the iron of all Southern California. There are many deals that hay. been consum- mated, and many others are pending, but the work has been carried on so quietly that but a few have known anything concerning it.
 "A few days ago deal was consum- mated whereby the Bessemer Iron mine, situated near Daggett, which was owned by the Clements estate and Cav J. Couts, was sold. The pur- chosers were J. Ross Clark, broi her of Senator Clark of Montana, Fl. E. Huntington and other men of equal rauk who are just at present playing all important part in the development of Southern California.
 Property near the Bessemer mine and owned by C. l.. Hubbs, of San Diego, has also passed into the hands of these capitalists. The amount paid cannot be ascertained and the purpose of the transaction can only Oe guessed at.
 The Bessemer mine is fully 30 miles from the Santa Fe, the nearest railroad, and no other way of getting the ore or product of d smelter to the market could be used, Sd We through the construction of d road.
