AUR1rERoUs SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

Whatever may be the proportion of truth in the
stories about wonderfully rich gold strike in River
side county the fact again brought to light as often
alluded by The Herald that only the surface has been
scratched in the mineral of Southern Cali
forna.
The reports are to the effect that in the mountains
of Orange county, only twenty-five miles from River
side city, millions of tons of in sight assaytng
up to 100000 ton. 1t is easy matter to salt up
assay specimens to any figure. If there are millions OF
tons of carrying gold worth $4,000 per ton with
three cphers cut off, reducing the value to $40 ton it
is the biggest strike California has since the
bonanza" era.
But no person familiar with the subject would be
surprised to hear that rich strike has been made in
any of the mountain regions of Southern California
first gold mining in the western half of the present
United States occurred within short railway distance
of Angeles. Long before the discovery of nugget
in northern mill in 1s4s gold mined in this
part of California by Mexicans and Indians in prim
tive way
The fact that Southern California has been pros
pec field for dozens of years does not argue against
the likelihood of the stories reported from the
tains of Orange county. The richest gold strikes
often have been made at points thoroughly familiar to
prospectors.
Cripple Creek, for example, of the richest fields
in the history of gold mining, brought to public
notice eleven years That location is almost within
the shadow of Pixies peak which attracted many thou
sands gold seekers away back in the spring of 1859
Thrtyve years after the pixies peak bust" furore
it was found that in ground which Pixies peakers
had stumbled and over which prospectors had pecked
all the intervening years gold worth tens of millions of
dollars lay hidden,
The whole of Southern California may be called
auriferous. A little than an hours northern ride
from Los Angeles takes the traveller to locality where
gold for many years been taken from surface sand
and gravel, Down the coast near Redondo men made
fairly good wages, when there lack of employment
few years ago. by "panning" the sands for gold. 1t
is known that there gold in the whole range of
tains from the point where them northward to
the end of the range eastward
Abundant capital and labor alone are necessary to
develop the gold and other mineral resources of South
ern California

SUGGESTED CONSOLIDATION PLAN

The project for Los Angeles city and county con-
solidation is sitting down to proportions that give 1t
a feasible appearance. The idea of making the
city coextensive with the county broached at first
and promptly stamped by The Herald as impractcable
seems to have been entirely abandoned.
Instead Of that expansive proposition the plan which
meets somewhat general approval is annexation OF
limited embracing certain cities and towns Ripe
judgment points the policy of feeling the way toward
the greater Los Angeles that all hope to see ultimately
The resolution adopted by the Union league takes
conservative view of the subject and Is worthy OF
consideration 1t approves of the consolidation into
on municipality as a city and county, of the present
city and such surrounding territory may on further
investigation be found desirable to unite under
such government" That plan narrows the project TO
dation Of city and county.
1t is practicable possibly to realize the longtime
dream of LOS Angeles from the mountains to the sea-
Beginning on a northern and eastern line that would
extend enough include Pasadena and other cities
and towns within few miles of the Los Angeles limits,
the line of annexation might be made to include all
desirable territory down to the ocean, taking in the
nearby seaside towns That would leave out vast
extent of territory eastward and hundreds of square
miles of mountain desert northward out OF which
to form county
Such annexation would be advantageous to the an
nexed cities and towns, as well to the present Los
Angeles Each of the minor cities might retain its in
divduay in continue to be autonomous to the
extent seen the relations of Brooklyn and the other
boroughs included in Greater New York.

ARE THERE OTHERS7

How far have the other American life insurance COM
panies followed the methods revealed in regard to the
three big New York concerns?
That question is forced to the front in the amazing
disclosures brought out by the investigation in
progress In business affairs the smaller
are apt follow in the wake Of those that larger
and more prosperous There hundreds Of life insur
ance companies societies and associations in the United
States and it is but natural that public anxiety should
be aroused in respect to proportion of them at least
If three Of the largest and most prosperous life
insurance companies have squandered the money
trusted to them the benefit of widows and orphans
as is unquestionably proved by the investigation is 1t
not probable that similar dongs may be disclosed by
investigation of other companies? 1t does not
sarly follow of course that the smaller companies have
followed the practices of the big leaders, But suspicion
has been aroused in the public mind and it will not be
allayed until the whole lite insurance business has
been brought into the lmeght showing every defect
and pointing tue way safe and reorganization
Life insurance has become so important element
in domestic economy that 1t must be placed on level
above suspicon Confidence in the three colossal
Germs has been shaken and there is an unmistakabe
feeling of uneasiness concerning other companies The
state authorities of New York have taken hold Of the
subject with promising vigor and the district attorney
of New York city declares his purpose to seek grand
Jury indictments Of leading officials in the three
panies
to action by the New York example and many other
states are likely to follow their lead The entire press
of the United States is agtating the matter demanding
universal investigation be followed by reforms in the
whole business of life insurance And this agitation will
not cease until the public is satisfied that funds in trust
for widows and orphans securely and sacredy safe
guarded.

RETURNS METAL CANOPY LAW
At Request of Council, Mayor MeAIeer
Sends Back Defective Ordinance
Without SIGNATURE


On demand of the council yesterday
the mayor returned, without his sig
nature, the defective building ordl-
nance passed at last weeks meeting
and a substitute ordinance was passed.
This ordinance makes it possible for
metal canopies to be erected over the
main entrances of Office buildings,
theaters and hotels.
When the new building ordinances
were drawn up recently by Architects
John Parkinson, ]. c. Austin and John
Morrow it was deemed that these
metal canopies we're unsightly and det-
rimental in case of fire, and they were
therefore forbidden. Under this law
several hotels and business houses
were compelled to take down their
canopies,
When the plans were drawn for the
new Temple auditorium a metal can
opy was provided and for the accom-
mediation of this building an exception
was made in favor of theaters. When
this became known hotels and Office
buildings raised the cry of unfair dis
elimination. The architects who had
drawn up the ordinances made fur
ther inquiries and found that all the
large cities, without a single excep-
ton, permit metal canopies to Ln
erected in front of the main entrances
Of office buildings, hotels and theaters
but not in front of business buildings.
With this information they recon-
mended the change in the ordinance.

TO CONSTRUCT GREAT
STEEL PLANT HFIE
EASTERN MAeNATES FAVOR LOS
ANGELES
Directors Of National Steel and Wire
Company Will Advice Establish
ment of Million Dollar Works at
Site to Be Chosen In This City

Los Angeles may be decided upon
by the board of directors of the Ma
tional Steel and Wire company as the
location of their new $1,000,000 steel
works.
Eight of the directors and large
shareholders have been in Los Angeles
for over a week and they all express
unbounded admiration for this city.
Everett Webster, president OF the
corporation, who is especially enthu-
siastic over Los Angeles said:
IF my influence counts for anything
among the members of the board Los
Angeles is assured of the location or
our proposed steel plant"
The party. which consists of four
English members of the directorate
and four American members, is under
the leadership of r. c. Caples of New
York He is the manager of the trafhc
end of the steel and wire business ana
is intimately acquainted with the
needs of the company in erecting new
plant. He said yesterday;
"The members of the party are in
clined to favor Los Angeles on account
of the satisfactory freight rates that
can be had from this section to the
east. The freight rates by steamer
are especially low. Some of the MEM
bers of the party were impressed by
the city of Denver but the freight
rates from Denver to the east are ex-
cessive."
The National Steel and Wire conf
pany is capitalized at $3O,O0O.OOO, ani
is q formidable opponent of the steel
trust.
The party left yesterday afternoon
on their special car for San Francisco.
After a short stay in that city the
magnates will return to New York.

At CoIIeae

Now doth the man of college,
That seeker for much knowledge,
Take up his studies serious, that he may
rank full high?
He doeth Greek and Latin,
On algebra doth fatten,
And crammeth for his thesis-when the
prof" is hov'ring nigh?
Well, mayhaps. in hours OF study,
But outside, both pale and ruddy,
Assemble and debate the chance of getting
on the team;
With manner slick and wary,
Each striveth to be hairy,
And locks are longs eternity upon their
heads, 'twould seem.
AS days grow short, nights lengthen,
So doth their hair-growth strengthen;
Likewise doth knowledge fade away be-
fore the training stunt,
Till every would-be hero,
Ranks somewhat abous zero:
But what cares he? His streaming hair
insures that he will bunt.
The men who go to college,
Do they get fame for knowledge?
WeA maybe some will reap reward
beyond the golden stream,
But the fellow who wins glory
Gets 1t on the field so CORY;
He's the chap of hirsute wonder, who is
on the football team
