CAHU|[A MINE
Aubury Asks the Authorities
to Consider Matter Now
Passing Through Mails
SEEKS FRAUD ORDER
Literature Represents That
Twenty-Five Million Ore
Tons Are Now in View

Literature of the Cahuila Mining Com
Mineralogist Aubury, and he says that he
has reque sted the United States postal au-
thorities to look into the representations
that are made in pamphlets sent through
the mails and to issue a fraud order.
Aubury called attention recently to the
averment in the Cahuila company's litera-
ture that "Cahuila, the greatest gold mine
in the world for its age, discovered less
than four years ago, already has 25. 900, 600
tons of ore in sight" John H. Whitlocks
name is signed as general manager in
pamphlet which contains the following:
The property is an enormous one and a de-
veloped mine. for there are millions OF tons
of ready to put in the mill. Our assays
and tests have proved TO our satisfaction that
the gold is in paying quantities, averaging at
least So a ton That will pay 81 80 ton
net profit. Our ore is now on the dump. being
piled up in places 250 feet high and from
100 to 800 feet in width and be shoveled
up and put in a mill by a steam shovel.
On the basis of the statements in the lit
erature. 25. 600 900 tons of ore in sight at
$3.50 net profit ton would put the sum
of s62,50 900 in the pockets of the stock
holders. The capital stock is but 100000
shares of the par value of 81 share.
Aubury has looked into the Cahuila
proposition. he says, and that is the rea-
son that he will ask the postal authorities
to consider the further use of the mails
to send out literature, of which the fore
going extracts are but a small portion.
The Cahuila property is in Riverside
County, this State.

WANTS JURISDICTION
OVER CHANNEL STREET
Works Board Desires to Col
lect Revenue From 0ccu-
pants of ThOr0ughfare.

The Board of Public Works is pre-
pairing to ask the City Attorney for an
opinion as 10 whether the city has
jurisdiction over Channel street be-
tween Fifth and Seventh. with a view
TO reaping some revenue from the lum
Der firms and others who are occupy
ing the land forming part of the street.
Works Commissioner Aigeltinger held
a conference with Mayor Schmitz yes
terday to outline the plan of procedure.
Under the State law the Harbor Com
missioners exercise control of Channel
street from Third to the easterly line
of Fifth street. The Board of Works
desires to ascertain if it is not pos
sible for it to charge rental for the
occupation of thirty-f1ve feet on either
side of Channel street between Fifth
and Seventh and expects TO collect some
$500 monthly for the privilege should
the City Attorney advise that the city
controls the street. Under the general
law the Harbor Commissioners have
control over all navigable streams and
they collect rental from some of the
occupants Of Channel street, but not
from others

GREAT SCARCITY
Of LABORERS
Local Employment Offices
Receive Urgent Appeals
to Furnish Day Workmen
CONTRACTORS IN NEED
Railroad Construction and
Repair Work Is Delayed
Because of Lack of Men
Ne, oro Won looking for > iobo


There. are jobs for 5000 of you today.
You can take the first train out of the
city, fare free, and be put to work at
first-class pay.
The railroads are crying for your SER
vices. They are sending urgent appeals
all over the country asking for hard
working men to enlist in their service
and draw from their treasury. The con-
tractors need you even more. They are
being fined because they cannot live up
to their obligations. They would be hap
py If they could only get you to work for
them.
There are jobs, waiting everywhere
east, north, south. You need only pick
your location and so to work.
Yesterday the employment offices about
the city received letters from railroads
and contractors asking for men. Several
railroads have their own agents working
in this and other cities picking up men
wherever possible. An applicant is quicks
ly taken in and asked if he has any
friends who would like to accompany
him.
The contractors on the Western Pacific
are the worst sufferers. Two of the
largest of them were in San Francisco
yesterday trying to get men. I'VE want
laborers. they said. ''Teamsters, shovel
ers, pick men and even skilled laborers.
We are far behind in our contracts and
we must get the men somewhere. We
have sent appeals to every large city
in the United States for help
The Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe
can use several hundred laborers. They
need them TO repair washouts and to
keep solid track in shape. They need
them for new construction. The Salt
Lake and San Pedro can use several hum
dred workmen.
The scarcity is badly felt about Port
land and throughout Oregon, where so
much railroad building is going on. The
contractors there are badly handicapped.
A trainload of men left yesterday for
Nevada, where they will work for the
Western Pacific
