HEAVY RAIN AT BAKERSFIELD
Railroad Traffic Tied Up and Further
Washouts Are Feared

BY Associated Press.
BAKERSFIELD, March 15.-A heavy
rain commenced falling in this city
shortly after S o'clock this evening,
and steady downfall continues,
with no signs of abatlng.
No trains have yet left over the
Southern Pacific for Los Angeles to-
day, and fear of further disastrous
washouts have been expressed at both
the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe
Offices.
Three passenger trains from Los An
geles, the first since Sunday morning,
arrived this evening. 1t was an
nounced by the Southern Pacific COM
pany this afternoon that a passenger
train would be run from Bakersfield to
Los Angeles at 10 O'Clock this evening,
but it has been given out at the dis
patcher's office that this train will not
leave until later, and 1t Is possi-
BILE that it will not be run at all, as
reports of further washouts on the
Tehachapi grade are hourly expected.
Traffic over the Santa Fe has been
running on schedule time since yester-
day evening. 1t was reported this
afternoon that traffic was open south
of Barstow, but as the repairs to the
tracks were but temporary the officials
state that 1t is very doubtful If the
regular connections are made at Bars
tow for Los Angeles. No reports have
yet been received from Tehachapi. The
trestles were insecure before the rain
commnced.
The rainfall now in progress is the
heaviest that has been seen in this city
for four years.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-16

Fully an inch has fallen since 2 o'clock
and It is still raining at intervals. The
seasons record is now twenty-one
inches and little more.
Just now, when Mr.. Hatfield is jubi-
liant over the recent heavy rains, 1t is
interesting to visit his experimental
station. His attention is divided be-
tween his chemicals and his two rain
gauges, one of which registers 23.5C
and the other "a inches. Since the be-
ginning of his experiments, December
18th, he has averaged an inch week.
and he is sure that he will have his
eighteen inches for Los Angeles before
the first of May.

Prices and General Conditions

Just a word as to the conditions of
living. Prices are higher here than in
the east by about as much as it costs
to freight the goods in, which is some
thing between 4 and 10 cents pound
Provisions are plentiful the water sup
ply is of good quality and generous
quantity. the sanitary conditions are
excellent when the age of the camp is
considered. Lodgings are high and
there is need of more of them. Beds
cost from so cents a night up. Rents
are high, but there is much building.
and this insures plenty of accommo-
dations unless phenomenal rush oc-

that of Denver and the stories of much
sickness are absolutely without found,
Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-16
Business Opportunities

Business Opportunities
The third working condition here is
based on anticipation of the rush that
is morally certain to come this spring.
Hundreds of business men and wo-
men of various degrees of RESPONSE
bility, responsibility and natural ability
are coming into Goldfield and the sur
rounding towns and entering business.
Many of those already here are MAX
ing good money now. There are thou
sands of opportunities for the right
men to come in with capital and open
business in this field. There can be
nc gainsaying that.
Now from these three premises a
conclusion will already have been
reached by the reader. There is still
some chance for prospectors, but not
for those who have no stakes. In the
second place there is no room here for
the poor man out of work, whether he
be a good mining man, or not, until
more work is offered. At present the
demand is supplied and there are
many waiting on the lists. 1t may be
week or it may be three months be-
for this condition is improved, but
when that time comes it will be known
in twenty-four hours all over the
country.
Big Profits for Capital
But in the third and fourth and f1f-
teenth places there is room for capital.
Capital is wanted to develop the prop
erty already claimed in order to bring
out the values undoubtedly lying there.
Capital is needed to run the towns, to
feed and clothe and lodge the towns
men, to cater to their wishes, to help
them spend their money, to buy their
real estate and sell it back to them at
a substantial rise; in brief, to turn over
and make 100, 300, 7OO 1900 per cent
profit in the coming year.
Expert Opinion as to Values
AS to the actual values underneath
these thousands of claims, an expert
mining man who was in California in
40, in Virginia City later, in Butte in
the sos, in Cripple Creek in the early
'9Os, and in Dawson and Nome and
Forty Mile in '96, says:
"There can be no doubt that this
region is heavily mineralized. Indica-
tions are now more favorable for i'm
mense developments than they were in
Cripple Creek at this stage of it's his
tory; the ore already milled and that
now being thrown ON the dump by
dozens of companies gives Goldfield the
right to the title of the greatest gold
mining district ever discovered in the
history of this country.
1.-THE only question is as to the depth
of the lodges, and surface indications
are better here for great depth than
any / ever saw. 1 confidently expect
this district to turn out $1OO, 900, 900 in
the next two years."
In the test runs already made and in
the shipments being made regularly
now by several of the richer and older
companies, some remarkable returns
have been netted in the past year, as
shown in the following table, which at
best Is only approXimate
