TALK TODAY ON
OWL CAR PLAN
Special Committee VIII See Traction
President In Morning and Re-
port to Municipal Assembly
In the Afternoon

Through Attorney William Dunn,
counsel for the Pacific Electric COM
pany, conference has been arranged
for this morning on the owl car ques-
tion between Henry e. Huntington and
the special committee Of the council.
Messrs. Houghton, Healy and Kern
of the committee are prepared to meet
the traction chief, and will have an
automobile so that there need be no
delay about finding Mr.. Huntington
If he should be any distance from his
offices.
The council meets Monday afternoon,
and as the committee is anxious to
have the question in shape to make a
report, no further delay is anticipated.
While the time seems short and it
is doubtful II every phase of the owl
car question can be exhaustively dis
cussed, it is argued that the proplem is
no new one.
Not a New Problem
The Herald has for weeks presented
interviews showing whv the Los
Angeles and the travelling public de-
mand after-midnight cars. and both
sides of the movement have been ven
tilated in the newspapers, other Los
Angeles dailies having finally fallen
into line.
City Attorney Mathews has given II
as his opinion that the municipal law
makers have it in their power to pass
an ordinance forcing the traction COM
panies to run their cars after 12:SC
o'clock, hence the legality of such
action cannot be successfully ques-
toned.
1t has been asserted that the
council this afternoon will be largely
attended by those who want to hear
the report of the special committee and
note what action rs taken.
1t has been ascertained that the
Huntington influence is dominant in
the council but the recent action OF
that body shows that it hears the cry
of the public for better transportation
service after midnight, because of the
great forward steps taken by Los An
geles in population and metropolitan

the mine In the past are said to have
been confined to the silver-gold vein.
Further assurance that the Silver
King may develop into one Of the lead
ing copper mines of the world is said
to be from the fact that the Silver King
is located In a very rich copper dis
trict six thousand feet south Of the
Silver King is the Silver Queen, the
old dump Of which is for the sixth time
being sorted over for copper 1t was
originally worked to a depth of 500
feet. Then the mining men commenced
to work over the old dumps for copper,
which was discovered there in great
quantities.
Another indication that the Silver
is the proximity to the famous Ray
mine, now being worked for copper
ores. The Ray mine Is recognized
say mining men, as an immense low
grade property. Ore from that mine
is being shipped to the Humboldt
smelter. These three mines are said
to be In the same strike.
What the future developments of Sill
yer King may result in Is, of course
not known. But mining engineers and
mining men, as we'll as Mr.. McCabe.
who has recently bonded the mine with
the intention of developing it, agree
that the Indications are Of such a ma
ture that the story of the Anaconda
which made Montana famous, may vet
be repeated.
II such is the case Arizona may yet
see the greatest wave of prosperity that
has ever visited the territory.

LUMBER TRUST SHARKS

1t Is reported from San Francisco
that the United States district attor-
ney is training his legal guns on the
lumber trust. It Is high time. one of
the most serious drawbacks to the re-
building of that city is the advantage
taken by the combined lumber inter-
ests of their opportunity to mark up
prices outraseously high. But the ef-
feet thereof is not confined to San
Francisco. Los Angeles is consuming
more lumber for permanent structures
than is the northern city, and the
effect of the recent advances is felt
here acutely.
There seems to be but little II any
doubt that the lumber trust is amena-
bic to prosecution. The San Francisco
grand jury was moved to take action
on the subject, but after gathering
considerable data the matter was
dropped for lack Of jurisdiction. 1t is
within the scope Of the federal authori-
ties. however, to protect the public
from such combinations in restraint
Of trade, and proceedings are prom
lsed accordingly.
There are several points on which
IL is thought the lumber trust is open
to prosecution. It is said that the
trust discriminates to the extent of
81 per thousand feet in favor of GER
tain contractors. Independent lumber
men are charged higher prices for tim
ber than the members of the trust.
There are other points, as disclosed
in the partial investigation of the grand
jury, that will strengthen the case
against the combination.
The prices of lumber in Los Angeles
have advanced greatly since the San
Francisco disaster. The enormous
quantities used here, as shown by the
record of building permits at the rate
of nearly 10000 year, has put vast
sum of additional net profits into the
rocketc of the lumber magnates within
the last three months. No decrease in
building operations has been noted
here thus far as a consequence of the
advanced prices, but unless something
is done soon to curb the trusts cupid
ity Il lull in building, to some extent,
may be expected
The prospect for successful prosecu-
ton of the trust is hopeful, as indicated
by statement from the United States
district attorneys office. thus: I'VE are
certain there is an illegal combine
among the lumber dealers. The fact
that dealers are required to post a
bond to keep up prices. if it can be
proved, is in itself sufficient evidence
to justify Indictment by the grand
iury"

GREAT COPPER STRIKE MADE
Silver King Mine Of Arizona May
Become as Famous as the
Anaconda of Montana

A repetition of the story of the Ana
conda in Montana is being predicted
by local mining engineers and mining
men who have recently visited the
famous Silver King mine of Arizona.
Great as this mine has been as a
silver producer, mining engineers and
mining men say that the present show
yet take rank with the greatest copper
mines In the world.
The vein of high-grade silver gold
ore worked to a depth of 1900 feet,
as described by j. IL. MeCabe of Phoe-
nix, who is at the Hollenbeck. is To-
Gated between two eonyerging veins
of copper ore. The ore In the latter
two veins is Of high grade The values
