PLAN BIG THINGS
Acreage Near Gardena to Be Cut Up
Into Small Tracts for Ranches
and omeseekers-other
Deals

During the past week NJ. F. O'Dea
bought of Carl F. Rosecrans eighty
acres located one half mile south Of
John Burkhardt tract Of 240 acres, sold
a short time since to a Los Angeles
syndicate. The price paid by Mr..
O'Dea was $2S,000 This eighty-acre
tract will be subdivided into small
ranches. Present electric service is
good. but eventually the Moneta ave-
nue. car line will be extended south and
through the acreage. The same line
will aid materially in the further de-
velopment of all ranch land south Of
the city.
New Villa Tract
The Mccarthy company has opened
an advance sale of lots in its New Main
Street Villa tract, a large new sub
division situated just south of Slauson
avenue and the city line, through which
Main street, San Pedro street and
South Park avenue run. They have
had good advance inquiry so far and
every prospect of a quick and ready
sale of this finely located property,
which has been cut up into extra large
lots, and thorough Improvements will
be made.
In Railroad District
Alexander Culver and associates have
purchased from the Leldecker Tool
company four acres, unimproved, on
Alameda street, between Sixth and
Seventh streets; consideration named,
$4,000. The land is in close proximity
to the Southern Pacific and the Santa

ties are valuable. The new owners will
divide the land into large lots, suitable
for warehouses, large manufacturing
establishments and similar industrial
uses.

BUSINESS FIELD
OVER IN NEVADA
RICH TERRITORY PROPERLY
BELONGS TO LOS ANGELES
Rapid Development Of the MarVel lousy
Rich Mining Section Predicted,
with Nelson and searohIleht
In the Lead

Nevada, the state that leaped to the
highest pinnacle of fame when the
great Comstock lode was uncovered
only to fall to the lowest point of pop
ulatlon and industries of any other
state in the Union, again has it's name
on every tongue. Its mention conjures
before the imagination the wealth of
Bullfrog, Searchllght, Nelson and many
other camps now springing into prom
inence. The building of the Salt Lake
railroad brought much of this gold
bearing desert into direct communica-
tion with Los Angeles.
Searchlight, Nelson, FL Dorado Can
yon, Nippeno. Crescent. Good Springs,
in Lincoln county, will all be within
Los Angeles sphere when the Salt Lake
opens it's line from Las Vegas north
and west. Even in these last two
camps. long since invaded and captured
by San Francisco because of railroad
communication, Los Angeles will have
a chance to do business.
Searchlight and Ne.son today are
spoken of as being in truth "the camps
without a failure" where every claim
that has been exploited has developed
into a. paying mine, where industrial
peace reigns and will continue to do so
through the system that absolutely
bars possibility of trouble, and Is the
district so favorably known that every
promoter, not harnpered by too tender
a conscience, advertises his claim, To-
Gated anywhere from six to twenty-five
miles distant, as being within It's limits.
Nelson in Ell Dorado canyon, on the
banks of the Colorado river, is another
old camp, several of whose mines have
made great records as bullion producers
in years gone by, and Is now reviving
after a long shutdown.
Techaticup, In Lincoln county, has
been proved by the development Of the
Techaticup mine, now down $50 feet,
while the Ell Dorado district is so well
known that 1t needs only to be named
to tell the story of what 1t is. Only
two weeks since, Malcolm L. Macdon-
aid, manager Of the great Montgomery
Shoshone mine, declared in public
interview that this district, with only
one years development to its credit,
has already more ore in sight than
Goldfield, with twice as much time for
development, and even Tonopah, with
three or four times as much. AS Mr..
Mcdonald Is interested in Goldfield as
well, having there made the money
that started him at Bullfrog, he cannot
be accused of hostility to the older
camp.
with development continuing at the
present rate, and prospecting on the
boom, 1t is safe to state that within a
year the population of Searchlight and
Nelson will have tripled or quadrupled.

FERDINAND WAS ANGRY
BuIgarIa's Prince Loses His Temper
While Attending
Review

Special TO The Herald.
PARIS, Nov. 4.-Prince Ferdinand Of
Bulgaria ended his official visit with
a very unofficial display of temper. He
met with a slight accident to his foot
and had to be holsted upon horse to
attend a review. AS three stout SER
vitors effected the holsting some dozen
indlscreet photographers clicked. The
prince, frowning like thunder, instinct
lively raised his riding whip with ges-
ture of anger, as If to thrash the Of
tenders, but checked himself. only re-
marking with a ferocious look that It
was really very dlsagreeable to be rep
resented in such an undignified atti-
tude. The accident did not prevent
him from gratifying his engine-drivlng
taste on the journey from Creusot on
parts of the stretch he accomplished
sixty-five miles an hour, emerging
from the engine coal-black, with in
famed cheeks and eyes, at the last sta
ton but one to resume his generals
uniform. He is now incognito here,
combining diplomatic pressure in the
chancelleries with having a quiet good
time.
