Edgar Forest Wolfe. in d rccou,
number Of the Los Angeles Sunday
Times, gives the following interesting
biograph Of Michael O'sulllvan. now d
resident OF this city:
The days Of the solitary miner and
%prospector are rapidly passing away.
There Is no more frontier. there are
no more UNEMPLOYED fields to develop
him. Syndicates and corporations are
superscding him.
Nowadays It takes capital to engage
probably In the mining industry, To
develop the low-gradc ore which. in

O'Sullivan loves his solitudes; a
love for all created things fills his
heart. Birds and squirrels appear at
his tent door each day to get their
accustomed crumbs. BY his shrill
cry Of "che.boby, che-boby," he calls

All the oil mills of the state have
about shut down and will remain
shut down idle until some time IN
September. When machinery, which
costs as much money as that of an OIL
mill, remains idle nearly half of the
time it is not probable that it is

which pays back the money invested
must be in constant operation. WheI
it lays idle for any length OF time
then there is an actual loss. 1t seems
to us that these boilers and engines

manufacturing industry during TIT

A fruit and vegetable grower living
near Crystal Springs has established
waterworks and electric light plant

irrigate his vegetable and fruit farm

man is prepared to live at home and

is the easiest thing in the world for
vegetable farms of this section to be
irrigated. Artesian wells can be had
everywhere, and they are cheap owing
to the fact that one can be had by

Some one entered the hall of the
Salvation Army at Meridian last
Wednesday night, cut the drum into
pieces. broke the cornet and did other
devilment. The law should protect
members of the Salvation Army anc
their property. If they are doing
wrong it is for the law and not indi
viduals to punish them, but it is no
supposed in the sight of the law tina
they are doing wrong or they woul'
be arrested. There are doubtless
few people who are at least not quit
SO good as members of the Salvation
