DAVID PROCTOR AND ELZABETH VALENTINE IN MESSAGE
/
Herald Has $50 Seats to Weeks Performance Of
"A Message From Mars Which 1t
Will Give Away

than is portrayed in "a Message from
Mars" The Herald believes that any
selfish man or woman who will go and
see this extraordinary play will have
at least some of the selfshness elimi-
mated.
The Herald, with every citizen in Los
Angeles. is proud of the exhibition of
generosity shown by the people of this
city in the liberality of their contribu-
tions to those who are in need and dis
tress in San Francisco. These great
disasters oftentimes have their COM
pensation in bringing about thorough
spirit of generosity. 1t is a good thing
to keep this spirit more in evidence. "A

from Manhattan to friends in this city,
saying that he has looked over a great
number of the mines there and is as
tonished to find them so extremely val
liable. He says that all the ore is free
milling and that there is need of a
custom mill in the camp. He found
that the ore on the dumps was of good
pay but had been cast aside by the
miners in their haste to get only the
high values to the mills.
Like others who have gone to Man
haitian to verify with their own eyes
and judgment the tales that have come
from there, he is convinced that the
camp has a marvellous future, that the
ore bodies are permanent and that in
vestments there are judiciously placed
He only wishes that he had bought
more stock in Greater Manhattan than
he did.
No quotations have come from the
northern mining stock exchanges in
the past week. the Goldfeld and Ton
opah exchanges having been closed
and the San Francisco exchange de-
stroyed Locally the market has felt
depression and but few bids are made
on any of the stocks and fewer sales
are recorded.

Disaster Has Effect

In this state of inactivity it is pos
sible to pick up within the next few
days many good stocks at much lower
prices than have ruled since the first
of the year; while new prospects are
floated at figures fully one-half cheaper
than would have been the case had it
not been for the appalling catastrophe
which has affected investors and hold
ers of stock in San Francisco.
1t is not believed that permanent
depression will result, even should
many stocks be thrown on the market
in order that the holders may realize
ready money which they may require.
Eastern capital is actively interested
in mining stocks.

In other States, there ia q demand for
reform, and Elkins' record is short on
reform andlong on corporations-rail-
roads, coal combines and other trust
propositions. The devil on one side,
is urging him to stand by his friends,
the corporations, and rely upon the
usual plan of fixing" those who are
open to the fixing process. On the
other side IL the tax-ridden and cor

No Charge Against Them.

On Monday, May 14th, Attorney
j. A. Williams, of Colfax, appeared
before the U. S. District Courtin Alex
andria, to represent mine men VINO
had been arrested In Grant parish. by
deputy marshalls charged with sell
ing liquor without license. When
they appeared to answer the charge.
they were told there was no charge
against them.
In view OF the fact that all of these
men were first taken to Alexandria
on May 9Th, and forced to give bond
to appear before the U. S. Court on
the 18th, for them then to be told
that there was no charge against
them, seems to us to be very strange
and unaccountable proceedings. to
say nothing about it's injustice.
The parties all live at and near the
town of Montgomery. They were K.

son, John Box and Oscar Hickman.
five white, and four cOlored men,
Louis Wheeler, Miles Scott. Bob Walk
er and Asberry Jackson. On account
of the prominence of most OF the men
this occurrence seems to US to be all
the more remarkable. They assert
their innocence. and claim the " hole
thing to be an aggravating mistake.
The explanation of the unnecessary
trip to Alexandria. OF course, Is that
the U. s. grand jury has not yet inves-
tigated the charges, and there 10 nc
bill of indictment. The District At.
torney. we understand, declined to
file bills of Information and have the
charges tried, and SO the whole thing
goes over until next January. when
the matter may be investigated 10y
the grand jury which meets then. II
Is certainly very strange that U. s
Marshais should make such faux pa
as to take lot of citizens a way from
their homes and business and drae
them around the country without
any warrant or cause for such pro
ceedlngs. Those deputies should b'
given little instruction about thei
duties and cautioned about putting
citizens to SO much unnecessar,
trouble and expense.
