BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS

Flnally-and at last-the city of Los
Angeles has a board of public works,
thanks to Joseph H. Call and the COM
mittee of citizens who acted as concilia-
tors and intercessioners between the
warning mayor and city council.
And it is a board of which the city
will have no need to feel ashamed. In
fact, its membership is of such char
acter that there is every present reason
why the city may well be proud of its
new board of public works. 1t is COM
posed of three well-known citizens two
Republicans and one Democrat (but
neither of them a politician), men who
ness and who have always manifested
a deep and abiding personal interest in
the development of Los Angeles and
Southern California.
David K. Edwards. Albert A. Hubbard
and James A. Anderson, who constitute
the new board, were not only not appli-
cants for the appointments, but hest
tated long over the proposition to ac-
cept until it was demonstrated to them
that acceptance was a civic duty which
they had no right TO escape from. These
are the sort of men who make sue
cess of serving the people. Going into
office free. from all political entangle-
ments, without any pledges or promises
save and alone to do their whole duty
as they may see and understand their
duty-they are in position to give to the
municipality their best efforts, backed
by intelligence and civic loyalty.
Having now a board of public works,
Los Angeles will at once renew its
splendid progress in the way of munich
pal Improvements. New streets will be
made and many other things accom-
prished which for two months have
been in a state of suspense. The great
work of making Los Angeles the great
est city in the west will be renewed on
a higher plane than heretofore, and the
stupendous project of bringing the
owens river from the Inyo range into
our homes win go forward with leaps
and bounds.
We may feel some regret that such
a charter amendment was ever adopted
that would take from the water COM
missioners control Of the Owens river
project. but regrets are useless at this
stage of the proceeding. The amend
ment was adopted by the people provid-
ing for a board Of public works at a
time when the owens river water enter
prise was unknown and unheard Of.
That amendment became law the first
of Janaury last. The board has now
been appointed and there is nothing to

SHOSHONE MINE
SOLD TO sCRWAB
BIG STEEL MAN IN CONTROL OF
VALUABLE PROPERTY
Prediction That the Entire Builfrog
District Should Soon Become
One of the Greatest Mining
Camps in the World

The famous Shoshone mine in the
Bullfrog district has been purchased by
Charles Schwab, and since the sale of
of the shares has risen from SO to $40.
This news was brought to the city
yesterday by G. T.. Bailey, a
prominent mining man of Bullfrog,
who has Offices in the Herman w. He'll
man building Mr. Bailey spoke at
length last night of the future of Bull
frog declaring that the place Is rapidly
becoming a strong and permanent min
ing camp
The Shoshone mine carries a streak
of ore fifty-siX feet wide and running
from $40 TO more than $500. One shaft
is 300 feet deep. Another of the large
paying mines is the Denver, according
to Mr.. Bailey. In the latter the vein
is twenty-seven feet wide and it runs
from $500 to $500 in the rock OF free
milling ore, The Gold Bar mine is am
other big producer. The latter carries
vein of more than $50 feet of high
grade ore. The Rush and the Bullfrog
mines likewise carry large veins more
than $50 feet in length of paying, free
milling ore. Other mines carrying high
grade ore are the Tramp, the Hobo,
Gibraltar and Happy Hooligan.
The belt in which these mines are
located extends from the Happy Hooli-
gan mine, near the California border
line, east to the town of Beatty, dis
lance of fifteen miles, and north and
south between Bonanza mountain to
Indian Springs. All through that belt
there are many good paying mines.
According to Mr.. Bailey, Bullfrog
should become one of the greatest min
ing camps in the world in the near
future. He predicts that in the course
of one year the population, which now
is little more than 5000, will reach 20. 900.
The conditions in the section of which
he speaks so enthusiastically are cap
able of working 5000 stamps with water
power. The water is said to be excel
lent and covers a belt extending from
Hot Springs to the Amargrova river.
The railroads will be open from Los
Angeles for train service March /. Tile
time occupied in going from this city
to Bullfrog will then be shortened from
four days to about twenty-five hours.
The residents and miners have been
waiting for the opening of the railroa is
for a long time, so that supplies may
be obtained from this city. This also
will means a reduction of the fare
from $50 to $25, and this Is counted upon
to attract a great many people from
this city to the new camp.
Mr.. Bailey is well known both In
this city and in the Bullfrog camp. He
has been prominently connected with
some of the largest mining claims in
the Bullfrog district. He will remain in
Los Angeles for several days, after
which he will return to the camp by
way of the new roads.

Banker Jacob r. schiff is due in Los
Angeles this afternoon, accompanied by
a number OF New York fnanciers. Mr.
schiff has been rather discouraging
with respect to money matters in the

he Is forced to drop his bearishness and
fall into the optimistic procession. He
will find nothing to discourage him in
this neighborhood, whatever he may
think of Wall street.

Its Advisers in Garage
Reduction q

For the first time in the history of
this council recommendation made
by the finance committee, of which
Councilman Smith is chairman, was
yesterday voted down by the council
by a vote of to 8. This was on the
question of lowering the license fee
for automobile garages from IS a
month to $3.50 a quarter.
Councilman Smith declared that his
committee had consulted with a large
number of garage owners and in every
case had been told that the business
of conducting a garage was a losing
game and for that reason recommended
that the license fee be reduced one
half.
Four members of the council be-
lieVed that the garages We're doing a
pretty good business and could afford
to pay that amount into the city
treasury.

The democracy of James A. Anderson,
member of the new board of public
works, is unquestionable. He is able
TO testify that he has voted the straight
Democratic ticket at all presidential
and state elections, but in municipal
affairs he has exercised his discretion.
More than that could hardly be reason
ably asked of any man. 1t is coming
more and more to be understood that
Independent voting in municipal affairs
is most commendable and patriotic
