During a recent visit to Los Angeles we met Mir. Paul H. McPherrin and he told Us of his work in Washington in getting the Imperial resurvey straight ened out. When he arrived there he found the Commissioner of the General Land Office entirely willing to do anything in his power to relieve the situation and keenly alive to it's urgency, but totally uninformed in regard to just what the people here needed to have done; and it was right along these lines that MT, McPherrin's most valuable work was done. He would call on the chief of the bureau of surveys and talk over the situation, study the maps and jot down sugges- tions; then he would go to his hotel and write out in full all the points he had covered during the day. These he finally embodied in a letter to the Commissioners as a basis for his instructions to the deputy surveyors who will do the work. As a result of this work of Mir. McPherrin these in- structions will direct the deputy surveyors to survey out by metes and bounds, not only all the claims filed in the valley but also all the possessory claims on the excess lands where the claimants have put up notices on the land, advertised the same, and kept up a valid residence or possession of the land. In case of controversy they will survey the claim and report 1t, leaving the contestants to settle the question of who has the best right in the land office. In addition to this MT. McPherrin rendered valuable service in get ting the appropriation for the resurvey adopted by the Senate committee which makes it possible for the work to be done at the very earliest moment.

then undertook the work of en- quiring into the whole matter of Imperial Water Co. No. water rights and, in a series of articles, published the articles of incor- poration and bylaws of that company, and the contracts con- corning its water supply and water rights. We discovered what we believe to be the defects in the matter, and last week published our conclusions. This week we publish the opinion of the attorneys for Imperial Water Go. No. 1, which, as Mir. Gleason says, owing to the high charac- ter of the attorneys and their twenty years of practice in this particular line of work, possesses force second only to a decision of the highest court of appeal. In this opinion these attorneys sum up the entire subject in these words:
 "Neither the stockholders nor per- sons other than stockholders have ever made any appropriations of water, nor done any act upon which claim of right can be based"
 If this is true, as Mir. Gleason insists, then the buyers of this water company stock have been villianously swindled and it be- comes the duty of every man to lend hand to right this .wrong. These people bought this stock with the understanding that 1t was water rights. Until this stock is made to be water rights these people are the victims of a confidence game. Fortunately there is a way to repair this wrong, and the power to do it is in the hands of the victims them- selves.
 Fortunately, also, the Secre- tary of the Interior and the Com missioner of the General Land Office have clearly pointed out to us the things to be done in order to make our water right absolute.
 We stand unqualifiedly for jus tic for the people who were de- luded into buying this water company stock on the represeu- tations that 1t was water rights.
 Let not this swindle stand day longer than it can be righted.

A RECORD OF DISnONOR

Sometime in the fall of 1901, there came to the Imperial Val ley, one Edgar F. Howe, an 1m- pecunious newspaper man. Se- curing job on the Imperial PRESS, he at once entered upon the service of the California Development-company Imperial Land-company Oakley Paulin- company push who were then engaged in the work of selling the stock of Imperial Water Go. No. 1, and representing it to be water rights. These companies into whose service this man en- tered were finding themselves considerably handicapped in their work of controlling the disposal of public lands by reason of the fact that people could make en- tries of these lands in San Diego. Therefore, these employers of Howe needed suppliant tool in office at Imperial who would as- sist them iu the work of com polling people to buy this com pany stock. Under the circum- stances, who could be found more ready to their hand than their henchman, E. F. Howe. So it was all agreed between these people that Howe should have the job. But the push reckoned without their host. They forgot that it was Judge Olin Weilborn of the United States District Court who ap- points United States Commits sioners and not the C. D. com pany push. When the name of E. F. Howe, therefore, was pre- sented to the Judge, he promptly and emphatically rejected it, and the rosy hopes of both E. F. Howe and the c. D. company push were dashed to the ground and a flagrant outrage on the people of this valley was pre- vented. The rest of the efforts of the c. D. company push to prevail on Judge Wellborn to ap- point some one they could con- trol is no part of the history of E F. Howe. Suffice it to say, however, that 1t took the Judge eighteen months to convince them that their efforts were futile and that none who wore the C. D. company collar could get the appointment. Disappointed in their efforts to foist Howe onto Judge Wellborn as a suitable man for U. S. Commissioner and being doubtful of his value as a tool to do their bidding, they fired him from hls job on the newspaper and turned him loose to nurse his chagrin and ponder over the fall of his high hopes.

 he returned to the service of the same old push in the same old way in March 1908. This he continued to be untili in the spring of 1904. At that time the town of Cabarker was laid out and a movement against the town mo- nopolv of the Imperial Land company was launched. Howe promptly put iu an appearance with a proposition to sell out the town of Imperial, so far as he could, and run a paper at Cabar- ker to work against Imperial. At that time he made a propOsi- tion to D. D. Lawrence to make a wash" sale of the Imperial PRESS to him. and for Lawrence to run the paper so as to down Imperial in favor of Cabarker. This offer MT. Lawrence iudig- nantly spurned.
 Shortly after this the water shortage and rising indignation against his masters brough about such a state of public feeling against them that Howe's ser vility to their cause brought public censure upon him. On April 26th, 1904, he sought to defend the push he served before a public meeting in Imperial and was hissed from the platform : by the outraged farmers. He at once left the valley and sold the paper to Charles A. Gardner.
 That he still looked upon this valley as a good field for the ex- ercise of his calling as tool of the push is quite evident, however, for he has made two unsuccessful efforts to break into a valley news paper office dul ing the past eight months. The first was whcu he applied to A. H. Heber to rent the Standard. Mir. Heber after consulting with Mr. Lawrence turned him down, for, as he knew the fellow tried to sell out the town once, he had no con- fidence in him. He then aSpired to be the editor of the Imperial Valley PRESS, urging his inti- mate knowledge of the Imperial Land company and their methods as large assest of his value as traitor, and offering to sell 1t all to the promoters of Ell Centro if they would only enlist him in their service. This proposition was spurned by the gentlemen to whom it was made for Leither Fl Centro nor the Imperial Val ley PRESS have any use for E. F. Howe or any of his kind.
 Then he returned to his old allegiance, the c. D. company push, and they have succeeded, through their power in Imperial, in foisting him upon that com to do their dirty work. It thus happens that this un- tool is again given an opportunity to affront decency with his vile and blasphemous billingsgate.
 Imperial is certainly unfortu- nate in ma1y ways, but in no way is it more unfortunate than in having this maggot from the corruption of the old C. D. com pany push foisted upon them to

A gentleman residing in Pennsylvania
writes to inquire why he does not get
dividends from a certain company in
which he bought stock. He plaintively
adds: 81 bought the shares way back
last October and I haven't drawn a cent
yet. Why don't I get dividends?"
My dear sir. 1t must be remembered
that the Goldfeld district is new, it is
vet in it's infancy, says American Ad-
wiser. Although it undoubtedly is one
of the richest mining sections in this
country, If not in the world. yet mines
are not made in a day. The idea of in
telligent mine development is not one of
quick dividends. but the provision for
the future, the establishing the business
on a sound, solid basis, so that when
production hoes begin dividends will be
large and regular.
To bring a mere prospect to a fully
developed and producing mine is no easy
task. 1t requires not only time. but
money. 1t also requires the highest de-
gree of intelligence, backed by expert
ence.
Too often the uniformed shareholder
will become Disguised because he does
not receive dividends quickly n throw
his stock on the market. taking what he
can get for it. All investors should

the real, intrinsic value of the property

EAGLES NEST AT FAIRVIEW
PROMISE OF A GREAT MINE

THE discoveries on the adjoining
properties of the Fairview Eagle Mining
company are of a sensational order and
the greatest strike yet made on that
property is on the ledge that runs clear
through the Eagles Nest.
"All indications point to the opening
up of one of the biggest mines in Ne
vada. In my opinion, there is little
choice between the Eagle company's
property and the Eagles Nest at this
time. In fact. / prefer the Eagles Nest.
Il cannot refrain from remarking that
in all of my experience in mining in Ne
vada, 1 AVE never opened up a property
that gave the same indications of be-
coming a great producer and dividend
payer as the Eagles Nest has proved
itself to be at so early a stage in its
career as a mining property"

Reports of a big strike in the crosscut
on the 5O-foot level of the Ramsey
Comstock were circulated the last OF the
week. 1t is stated the crosscut has
broken into the rich streak near the
wall of the dyke, and that four feet OF
the ore goes high with a stringer OF
$500 rock, wider than that on the sur
face. The work is going steadily for
ward in the crosscut under personal
direction of A. H. Mayne, and big devel-
opments are looked for Immediately on

from the drift are exceedingly rich.
Much work will be necessary to deter
mine the width of the ledge. A whim
is being installed. This strike OF ore
bids fair to prove a big dyke beyond
doubt.

The leasers have driven the crosscut

The character of the ground in the race
of the crosscut has changed to more OF
a quartz formation and shows conciu-
slvely that the ledge will be encountered
within a few feet. When the ledge Is
struck 1t will be at considerable dep.n'
