AS TO COUNTY FINANCES,
4. II. AULID EDITOR.

trained from making any comment
on the financial condition of the
county. The presentment of the
grand jury and the statement of
Supervisor Schumpert were printed.
We believe, however, in giving ius
tlce to every one and showing par
tiality to none. The editor of this
paper told the people in the cam
paign of 1902 that there was no
chance for reduction OF taxation
and endeavored t. show why there
was not.
Now II. J. w. gets after the
supervisor and says it's great pity
the financial ccEditicu of the county
IS "hat 1t IS and sa the peo
pie do not object to paying out their
money when they can see where it
has been wisely spent. TO both of
these propositions we readily assent.
But let us be just. 1t is our opinion
that 1t was a waste Of public money
to put sewerage in the basement of
the court house, but it was proper
to have the sewerage put in the
jail anc the rooms up stairs to the
court house. The grand Jury gets
after the supervisor for this expen-
dlture. 1t may be too large for the
work that was done and certainly
SO large contract should not have
been let without first advertising
for competitive bids. But, is it not
fact that the grand jury at pre-
vlous terms of court recommended
this work to be done? We say let
us be just III our criticisms.
The last legislature provided
$40, 900 for past Indebtedness and a
special tax was levied to meet
this. That leaves the debt S12, 600
Now what is this for and what is
there to show for it? There is the
steel bridge in the lower part of the
county which was an expenditure
which will benefit the people of the
county. Then there is the good
roads machinery which if properly
handled will not be waste of
money but profitable investment
Then there is something to show
for it.
We do not pretend in this article
to he accurate and neither are we
defending Supervisor Schumpert,
but we do believe in being fair and
just. There is something to show
tor this debt. Whether the expen-
clture was wise or not may be
largely matter of opinion. The
Herald and News thinks it was
wise to build the steel bridge NEIL
toned. We do not think that we
were just III position to buy good
roads machinery because we had
not provided the means to operate
1t, and yet if properly used it is a
good investment. We think we
went at it a little too strong in the
matter of sewerage, and certainly
competitive bids should have been
asked for.
AS to the other charges against
Supervisor Schumpert, we have no
knowledge upon which to base an
opinion.
We would not have said anvthinq
but for the criticism of II. T. w.
But let us be tair and Just and give
to every one the same consideration
we would expect for ourselves.

fact that he lost that organ, seems to

recovery. A few days ago the dog de-
veloped every sign of appendicitis and
MIR. Day had made up his mind that
the dog was about to pass to the

the dog had appendicitis in a severe

Recent Ore Discovery in Con. Cal.

A well known mine superintendent
who inspected the ore recently deyel-
oped in the southwesterly drift ON
the 2050-foot level of the Consolidated
California and Virginia mine, express
es the opinion that the increase in
number of ore stringers as work IS
advanced to the westward indicates
the presence of a large body in that
vicinity, Of which the stringers en-
countered are feeders The opening 20
the west in which these stringers are
more numerous is 170 feet from the
c. & c. shaft and in virgin ground. Il
is a we'll known fact frequently reit-
Grated. that the exploratory work here
tofCre conducted On the levels nov
being recovered was Of the most su-
perfcial character and now that these
levels are to be thoroughly explored
there is every probability that other
important ore discoveries may result.
