were three spring wagons. In these
the 'Junketers" were conveyed, over
a road which the old-time residents
say is never rough, 10 Good Springs.
This road would more properly be
called trail which runs for seven
miles almost in a straight line between
the foothills and would make fine
speedway for an automobile.
Situated $3.50 feet above the sea
level is the town of Good Springs in
Lincoln county. 1t could hardly be
called beautiful, but is certainly typi-
cal as a peaceful mining town. To
the south is the slope to the railway
station; to the north, east and west
are low ranges of mountains, their
tops clearly outlined against back =
ground of blue sky, which the miners
! say Is rarely clouded. In these noun
tains. from four to twenty miles from
| Good Springs, are located mines rich
in gold, silver, copper and lead ore,
and all carrying iron, making it an
| easy smelling ore.
The first mine visited was the Rover,
which is owned and operated by the
Yellow Pine Mining company of which
j. f. Kent Is manager. Situated a
short distance from this is the Prairie
Flower, owned by Judge E. M. Ross,
J. Fl. Call and S. II. Polk of Los An
geles.
Before the return to Good Springs
a stop was made at the Red Cloud
mine, which is owned by C. II. Byram,
j. d. Luke and j. c.. Armstrong.
Most Of the party took the trail
Monday morning to visit various other
mines, The night will be spent at
Sandy. fourteen miles away, and the
return to Good Springs will be made
Tuesday night.
The officers of the company are: A.
II. Gates Chicago, president; George
M. Hinckley. Boston. vice president;
Warren w. Potter, Haverhll, Mass,
treasurer; d. ID. Heating, HaverhilI.
Mass, secretary. The board of direc-
| tors are as follows:
r. S. Hardy, Los Angeles; w. e.
Jeannot, Bangor. Me-; C. II. Raymond,
Haverhill; w. II. Wilson, Salt Lake
City.
All of these men are with the iunket
party except Messrs. Gates, Hinckley
and Jeannot. Other members of the
party are Frank c. Came, Denver;
| William A. Martin, Haverhill; Lewis
A. Barker company attorney, Bangor,
Me-; Henry Farnham, Bangor, Me. /;
Charles Il. Mccarthy, engineer, Hav-
erhill; former Senator Carlton r.
Howe, Haverhill; Joe Dedericks, con-
tracing engineer, Salt Lake City; Jack
Fisher, Los Angeles, owner of the Co
lumbia mines; II. c. OKelly, Riverside,
executor of the Campbell estate, in
Guiding twenty-three claims, and Har-
ry Hinckley, Good Springs. who came
from Hayerhill three months ago.

Still another beautiful tract, highly
improved with graded streets. cement
sidewalks and cement curbs, soon will
be placed on the market in the Boyle
Heights section. Yesterday w. B.
Thompson sold to w. Y. Adams for
100000, through Miller e. Oliver. thirty
four acres on the northeast corner of
Hollenbeck avenue and Lorena street.
Provision will be made for 200 lots that
will be sold at a comparatively low
figure and on easy terms. The tract Is
adjacent to the Stephenson avenue
electric car line, giving twenty-minute
service to First and Main streets.
5000, 900 Investment
Joseph II. Spires has paid the agents
of Herbert Earlscliffe of Santa Bar
bara 100000 for the lot on the south
west corner of Sixth and Olive streets.
The lot Is improved with two two-story
frame dwellings,. 1t Is the purpose of
Mr.. Spires to erect a modern business
block on the corner. Eight months ago
the property sold for $4,000.
Denial of Depot Story
The story emanating from the rooms
of the police commissioners, through
an applicant for a saloon license in a
building on Fourth street, between
Broadway and Hill, to the effect that
the Los Angeles-Pacihc Railroad COM
pany had arranged to erect a new depot
on Hill street, near the corner of Fourth
street, has no foundation in fact.
e. p. Clark, president of the railroad,
I'm an interview with Herald reporter,
stated last evening that there was abso-
lutely nothing In the story, that the

that his sister was not there and he
had better go away.
A woman with rare presence of mind
who occupied the front upstairs room,
poured out pitcher of ice water upor
the unfortunate midnight caller, but
with no effect.
Lights began to CLEAN in neighboring
houses and a brave leader, reinforced
by a dozen people in airy attire, made
a sortie upon Conway, who was over
powered and held until the arrival of
the police.
AS Conway lapsed into slumber in
the patrol wagon he murmured to the
officer that he would like to trade his
sister for gallon of wine.
Conway disclaimed any knowledge of
his performance, but said that 1t might
have happened while he was under the
Influence of liquor. He will be sem
fenced today.

who have come from Maine and Mas
sachusetts expect to make their per-
manent homes here. Some startling
changes may be looked for in this vi
clnlty before the end of the year.
To Establish a SmeIter
Another purpose of the junket is to
allow some of the members of the
company to investigate the mineral
bearing qualities and quantities of the
mines in easy reach of the proposed
smelter. These mines are located in
the Yellow Pine mining district, in
which the town of Good Springs is
situated.
All OF these mines were investigated
by experts several weeks ago and the
ores were assayed and some very sat
isfactory results were obtained Re-
suits were such as satisfied the inves-
tigators in whom the conservative
members Of the company place great
reliance.
With a shout of joy at the thought
-of getting out into a free and open
country the party of fifteen boarded
private car attached to the rear of
the Salt Lake train leaving Los An
geles at s o'clock Saturday evening.
All Become Good Fellows
The garb of the men, topped
boots, blue shirts, SLOUGH hats and
anything in clothing from corduroy to
oVeralls. seemed to waken all the
dormant feelings of good fellowship
and before Riverside was reached even
old friends became closer friends and
those who had never addressed each
other except by last names with the
title Mr. prefiXed were calling each
other Jack, Mack, Colonel, Bill and
other nicknames, and by the time
Good Springs was reached everyone
had pet title and all formalities of
address. except those dictated by camp
life rules, were tabooed
The call for breakfast Sunday morn
ing found everyone with an appetite
which had been sharpened by the ex-
hilarating air of the early morning in
Nevada, just over the California line.

fighter either personally or as COM
mander. The Moros are fighters
themselves from the way back coun-
reports are concerned entirely with
casualties and nothing is said about
prisoners. But 1t is safe to say that
the bandits in Jolo have been taught
a lesson that they will not forget for
a number of years to come.
The fight on the Statehood bill has
reached a point where it is safe to
say that the bill will be passed with
the Foraker amendment which will
turn the question of joint statehood
back for final settlement on the citi
zens of New Mexico and Arizona.
While Senator Beveridge says that
this is unnecessary, it would seem the
decent thing to do, as it is rather
against precedent to take any state
into the union against the will of the
people. The vote on the bill will not
come till next week, but if it is pass
ed in such shape that the people of
the two territories have a referendum
vote in the matter, there ought not
to be any question of its fair settle
ment. From the way things look
now, the state of Oklahoma and In
dian Territory will be admitted as a
whole and no great protest made.
But it is almost certain that there
will not only be hard fight in Mex
leo and Arizona but that a majority
of the voters of Arizona will stand
out for separate statehood if they
have to wait decade to get it.
The proposal to cut down on the
postal facilities afforded the govern
ment is one of the most practical
measures of reform that has been in
troduced lately. IL is not intended
that the restriction shall effect pri-
vate individuals but it is intended to
cut down the great amount of govern
ment property shipped over the roads
at certain seasons and prevent an I'M
due weight allowance being figured
out in favor of the railroads The
appropriation recommended by the
committee on postoffices and post
roads will meet the normal growth of
the service, but it is intended to re-
trench as far as possible in an en-
deavor to put the postoffice on pay
ing basis
