THE PRESS SOLD.

The undersigned, with this issue of the Imperial Press, reiires from the position of editor and publisher, having sold the paper to Mr Charles \. Gard ner, for years publisher of the Pasadena Daily Star. and one of the best-known newspaper men oi Southern California. Mr. Gardner will assume charge of the paper with the next issue, and the re- tiring editor bespeaks for him the same kindly consideration given the paper in the past.
 In retiring from newspaper work in Imperial wish to express sincere aP- preciation for countless fayors shown by the people of the entire valley, personal as we'll as professional. The conditions under which We have all been working have tended 10 bring the newspaper and the people into close and pleasant rela tionship, and the interruption brings 10 myself many features of regret.
 Imperial is destined to have a bright future, and shall rejoice to zee pros perity attend the town and all of its people. After few weeks visit in Ohio, Pennfylvania and New York, l will en- deayor to find, in Southern California, some newspaper nook into which to climb.
 With kindest regards for Imperial and its people, satisfied with all my experi- ences here, bid farewell 10 my friends.

THE LOST "PEG LEG" MINE
Claimed to be Discovered and Lo-
 cated Near Imperial

In view of the long years elapsed since "Peg.lrg" Smith first exhibited his sunb burnt nuggets in San Francisco and in Plaeeryille in 1850 and of the many futile expeditions made in search of the three buttes that marked the spot where they were found, old timers of the southwest will be more or less incredulous oi the claims made by a party of Texas prospectOTs who finished Outfitting at and departed from lmper- ial several weeks ago, bound for the Superstition Mountains west of the val. ley metropolis.
 Whatever their claims may be the fac, remains that on April l6th these parties filed with the county recorder al San Diego locations on the "Pes-les" '" mine on Sugar Loaf Butte, northwest Of Imperial, consisting of lGO acres. This

MR. SMYThE'S WORK
Addresses People of the Valley and
 Organizes Water Users

William r.. Smyihc visited Imperial las, saturday and gave au address on the street io about ao citizens oi the valley in advocacy oi Government ownership oi the Imperial irrigation system.
 r. \. Chaplin called the meeting to order and r. C. Ravens was made chair man oi the meeting.
 Mir. Smythe said that he came but Il few days before from the office of the Secretary oi the Interior in Washington and the Secretary had authorized him Ia tell the people of Imperial that their interests would bc protected, no matter what the policy of the Government should be.
 The burden oi Mir. Smythe's address was that private ownership of the Inn perial irrigation system is undesirable from the stand point oi the Govern meni, of tie California Development Company and oi the water users. He said il was undesirable from tIc stand point of the Government, h, cause it wuuld interfere with other work on the Colorado river; 1t was undesirable from the standpoint of the California Development Company, because private capital could not compete with the non- interest bearing capital of the rrclama- ton bureau; and il was undesirable from the standpoint oi the people, be- cause Government works would give vastly better service.
 His address was accom- panied by con siderable applause. and at it. cl' se he made an appeal for the organization of the farmers into the Imperial Water Users Association.
 To this end Chairman Ravens was in strucied tO appoint q committee to formulate plan of organization.
 MT. Havens is in correspondence with certain persons, and the names of the committeeman will be made public later.
