THE REAL UNITED MINING co.

What promises to be some of the best
mining property in old Mexico is that
owned by the Real United Mining com
pany of this city, with offices at 22d
Laushlin building. This property is
located at Real del Castillo, Lower Cali
fornia, and consists of Il group of several
valuable mines. Machinery is now on the
ground and ready for operation In view
of the fact that the company expects
soon to acquire a number of new mines,
which will add materially to the wealth
of it's possessions, operations have been
suspended on their present holdings until
about October l. A block of 100000 shares
of stock will be offered on these new
mines, which are located within twenty
five miles of a railroad. A ten stamp
mill is now all ready for operation, and
when the company resumes work steady
employment will be given to twenty-five
A.. G. Smith is president of the Real

treasury stock amounts to $3,O00,000. All
stock is fully paid up, worcestershire, and
there are no personal liabilities. Mr..
Smith, president of the company, is an
experienced mining man and has spent
a great deal of time personally on the
properties conducting careful eXamina

SAFETY CAGE co.

Every mine owner should make it
his first duty to study the safety OF
the men in his employ. The business
has danger elements which cannot
wholly be eliminated, but yet these can
be minimized greatly by the use of
One of the most widely useful of the
recent inventions in mining appliances
is the safety cage, which has so many
points of merit that no up-to- date mine
owner would for moment think OF
doing without it. 1t is manufactured
at the Llewellyn Iron works in this
city and is handled by the Safety Cage
AIT II. W. Hellman building. L. DOUG
las Sovereign, the head of this COM
pany has been very successful in
bringing this remarkable device before
the attention of the public, especially
attracting the notice of the mining
men to it's great serviceability Its
various points of superiority over the
married., are as follows: This cage chair
can be used on all kinds of cages or
skips now in use. 1t does away with
accidents caused by brakes slipping or
by throwing in chairs at the wrong
station The engineer has full control
of the cage at all times, II being impos-
sible for the chairs to be knocked out
cost, 1t is more economical than the
old-style chairs or dogs in every way.
The company invites examination OF
it's claims and will be glad to explain
fully the working of this new and en-
tirely successful appliance Mr. Sow
ereign is man of large experience IN
mining matters, is confident of the
value of the safety cage, and Is sure It
needs only to be seen to be appre-
ciated.

LONG BEACH OFFICIALS
SALARY IN DISPUTE
City Treasurer Holds UP Warrants
Over Question of Constl-
tutIonality
special to Me Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Sept. 2.-Today the
city treasurer of Long Beach, c. L..
Heartwell, refused to cash the salary
warrants of City Attorney F. A. Knight
and Street Superintendent c. ]. E. Tay-
lor. He took this stand, so he said
today because should he pay the war
rants he would become liable under
his bond for the amount he paid out.
At their last meeting the board of trus-
tees adopted a resolution increasing
the salary of the city attorney from
S75 to $100 per month. Section 8, ar
ticle II of the constitution reads as
follows: Compensation of any county
city, town or municipal officer shall
not be increased after his election or
during his term of Office" This section
has been dug up and placed before the
public by several interested citizens
within the past few days, and as re-
suit the city treasurer has drawn back
into his shell as it were. City Attor-
ney Knight has made a careful search
among the records of the state and be-
lieves that he has found decisions that
will uphold the stand the local board
has taken in the matter. A leading
attorney has been approached on the
subject by the treasurer and the for
mer says that all decisions point out
the illegality of the course taken and
has produced two judgments which he
claims are sufficient to show the course
of the board to be unconstitutional.
w. P. J., Stafford, a leading Los An
geles attorney, has been called in to
settle the dispute and his opinion is
eagerly awaited by all concerned.

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 2.-The
people of Cotton are determined to have
the Rialto electric line if 1t is possible
to secure it. The partial failure of
tn San Bernardino city council to
grant a freight carrying franchise for
the line to San Bernardino has given
an excuse for the Cotton people to take
the question up at a largely attended
mass meeting held last night under the
auspices. of the chamber of commerce.
A committee was appointed TO confer
with the Rialto people, but no further
action was deemed advisable until the
question was determined one way or
the other in San Bernardino. That
feature out of the way, which will
probably be this week, the Cotton peo-
pie will endeavor to raise a substan-
tial bonus for the line, good starter
for the bonus, s25o0, already being in
sight.
Seth Hartley, the promoter of the
line, has given his word to the Cotton
people that he will build the line If
the franchise fails at San Bernardino.
So far as delivery of freight from Ri
alto is concerned the Southern Paci-
fc and Salt Lake would both pre-
fer the road built to Cotton, as that
would prevent additional handling to
get the cars on the main line.
