Will RAISE MONEY
Amount Necessary 10 Place Properties Of
The Fifty Gold Mines Corporation In
Operation Being Advanced.
WORK TO Be COMMENCED IN A few WEEKS

That the large group Of claims OF the
Fifty Gold Mines corporation will be put
to work within the next five or six weeks
is now almost an assured fact. Tie cap
talists from the east, who visited this
section last week and made thorough
inspection of the property have already
subscribed for large amount of the
81 100000 Of stock and during the next
few weeks what little remains will be
bought. So favorably impressed with
the proposition were the capitalists, COM
paratively little difficulty is now being
met with in raising the money required
to pay the 100000 purchase price of the
group and create the necessary working
capital OF 100000.
In starting up the mines on the extern
sive scale in which he has in view after
the stock is placed, Mr.. o. B. Thomp-
son, the manager, will in all proba-
bility follow out the plans of VIM. A.
Parish, the well known Colorado mining
expert, who recommended that the pow
er should be centralized. the pumps and
hoist should be operated by electricity,
the capacity OF the mill increased and
the mines opened up on large scale by
sinking the Cook shaft to a depth of not
| less than 1000 feet and crcss-cutting to
all veins. 1t is estimated that the ex-
pense Of such work would be from $780,
600 to 100000. The plant which Mr..
Thomson has in view that will relieve
the concentrates OF the sulphur will cost
approximately $4,000. With a plant to
eliminate the sulphur and moisture, and
the capacity of the mill increased to fur
nish 200 tons Of concentrates, which
would be treated by the desulphurizing
plant, the saving to the company would
be from 81 so to $500 per ton. This saw
ing in a year would amount to from
SlSo,OOO to $4,000.
AT present seventy-fy lessees are. at
work. Among these are W. o. and John
c. Jenkins and associates, who have a
lease in the 1900 foot level OF the Bobtail
and have large force Of men at work.
At this point Messrs. Jenkins and their
associates have an ore shoot which ri.
walls anything ever exposed iI this great
property.
1t is interesting to know that forty -one
years ago David Jenkins, now deceased,
arrived in Gilpin county from Wisconsin
and commenced working on the Bobtail
mine, the property on which his SONS to-.
day have lease. Since forty-one years
ago millions of dollars have been taken
from the Bobtail and the fact that it is
today as rich producer as t ever was,
illustrates the permanency of Gilpin
county's ore bodies, which is the reason
the people Of this section have unbound
ed faith in the future Of the county.
Therefore it is not surprising that Mr.
o. b. Thompson should male the state
ment which he did to the eastern invest.
ors THAT after the property is placed on
the footing he has outlined, he has no
hesitancy in making the PREDICTION that
it will become one of the bst dividend
payers in the world, and viii continue to
be such after many of US Of the present
generation have passed awy.'

MANY APPLY FOR PENSIONS
Veterans of the Spanish War at Sol
diers' Home Sending in
Their Claims
Special TO The Herald.

Special TO The Herald.
SAWTELLE, March 1.-THE Spanish
war veterans are sending applications
to the pension office. There are 4
large number in the Soldiers home
who believe they should receive Il
pension. In 1899 the entire Spanish war
pension roll was only $4,000. In 1900 it
was twelve times as large, and in 1901
nearly $1l00,000. In the fiscal year
just closed it reached SO, 400, ,99S.
1t is expected that congress will enact
the Ware order No. rs. which esti-
mates age from go to 70 as a disability.
If this law is enacted it will give the
nation service pension. 1t gives Sc
a month to an honorably discharged
veteran who has reached the age of
62 years; IS to one aged 6j; $40 to one
aged IS, and $12 to one aged 20. Then
there is the law of 1890, which gives
civil war men a pension whether their
disability arose from the service or
not.
The Spanish war boys cannot under
stand why they should not be granted
pensions ON the same grounds.

Squatters
Snecial TO The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN PEDRO, March 17.-Beginning
Monday there will be an improved mail
service for San Pedro. Heretofore
there have been but two mails day
and these came over the Pacific cleo
trio and were through -pouched from
Los Angeles.
On Monday a special car carrying
mail clerk and fitted up in first class
style will be put on. In this connec-
ton it might be said that after the
first of April carrier service will be
installed here. 1t requires an annual
business of $4,000 a year to secure
carriers and San Pedro has had more
than that in the past year.
Coroner Trout came down from Los
Angeles this morning to hold an inquest
over the body of Gus Garcia, the Ital
ian who was killed yesterday by fall
ing from the deck of the dredger to
another boat alongside.
Two witnesses We're examined who
claim to have seen the man fall and
who say that he either lost his balance
or was knocked off by a rope or pole,
they cannot tell which. The coroner
concluded that more evidence would be
necessary and adjourned the case until
tomorrow, issuing summons for several
witnesses.
The Longshoremen's union is consid
erably enraged because the captain of
the dredger did not even stop the ma
chine when the man fell over and paid
but little attention to him. No one can
be found who knows anything of the
man or even where he came from. He
is not a member of the union, although
he stated several times that he was.
Expect Trouble With Squatters
There are signs of storm at East
San Pedro over the rights of the squat
ters to the land along the breakwater
This is all made land, from the work
of the government dredger after the
breakwater was built and has been
taken from time to time by squat
terS. They have in many instances
erected substantial dwellings, and in
other cases shacks in which they live.
When one of these quondam owners
goes away for a day he is almost sure
to find his claim jumped on his return.
Several gun plays have been narrow
ly averted and trouble is yet in store.
The Salt Lake road is anxious to get
possession of the land and will do all
it can to get the squatters off, but
they are bound to hold on as the loca-
tions are very valuable for wharfage
purposes. The city of San Pedro SYM
pathizes with the squatters but Long
Beach seems inclined to help the rail-
road, and the result of the annexation
trial is anxiously awaited by them.
1t is reported today that Mrs. Rude
cinda Dodson will place her tract of
land, comprising about 130 acres and
lying Immediately west of the town,

mediately joining the town it Is very
valuable and will be eagerly sought
by purchasers who have long urged
Mrs. Dodson to subdivide it. The land
is portion of the old Sepulveda tract.

SAN BERNARDINO, March H.
Two lively municipal contests are on
in the cities of Redlands and Cotton,
and both involve the liquor question.
In Redlands the fight will determine
whether table liquor license shall be
granted to hotels. In the past year the
Casa Iona has had such a license but
the city trustees have persstently re-
fused TO permit licenses to be issued to
other hotels.
Now the prohibtionists of the city
demand that the license shall be with
drawn altogether. TO settle the matter
a referendum vote will be taken at the
election next month and the nominees
of the Citizens party have agreed to
abide by the result Two tickets are in
the field, the Good Government and the
Citizens. The former is an out-and-out
prohibition ticket while the latter is
q little more liberal and it's candidates
are the present city officials
Two Tickets in Field
In Cotton the issue is an open or a
closed town both in respect to saloons
and gambling. Two tickets will be in
the field, one for an open town and the
other for reasonable restrictions on
both evils 1t is possible a referendum
vote will also be taken in Cotton on
the saloon question, as it has been de-
manded for several months past by the
opponents of saloons. The bars were
considerably let down recently in re-
gard to saloons and gambling, the
ordinance on the latter beig entirely
repeated the three bars being permitted
where there was but one previously.

ptal.
He suffered a cut two inches long on
the head and will be laid up several
