ARE Interested
IN LEMON Mill
PARTY or ENTHUSIASTS ARE IN
TOWN FROM MAN
HAITIAN.

The last carload OF tanks is here
foI the Lemon mill at Manhattan, /,
and will be landed at the northern
camp by tomorrow. This means that
the mill will soon be completed in
it's entirety, and will be ready for
operation shortly after the first.
A party composed of Cliff McClel-
land, his brother, r. B., Charles and
Frank Humphrey, came in from
Manhattan yesterday, and they are
all enthusiastic over the outlook for
the camp, and of its certain future.
The McClellands are interested in the
Lemon mill, and part of their bust
ness is to get the shipment of the
tanks on it's way to Manhattan.
ANY one who has not kept in
touch with the situation at Manhat-
TAM said Cliff McClelland, will be
surprised to learn all that is being
done out there in the way of pro-
gress. There are new people coming
in all the time, and inquiries regard
ing the properties are being received
every day by the secretary of the
Manhattan committee. On our way
in we met four or five automobiles
going out to the camp. These were
: filled with people who have interests
there, or who are going out with a
, view of securing properties.
, when one stops to think, the de-
, velopment that is going on in the
camp is simply astounding. There
) was another strike on the La Lime
5 lease the other day. and these arc

} hardly reckoned with any more. This
Lemon mill has in sight all that il
e can attend to in the way of ore fol
many months to come. There will
be plenty of work for all the mills, il
we only consider the stuff that is OF
the dumps.
THE Manhattan Consolidated hal

PAVILION.

Ye no, and the merry minstrel
men.
Tonight and tomorrow night, we
will have the opportunity of gazing
on the half circle of burnt cork art
lists, and of listening to old gags and

and securities may shrink, but there
is that difference between Billy Vans

no shrinkage in the fun he has been
dispensing for the past many moons.
There are others; lots others. The
opening part of the show is entitled:
| The Awaiting of the Dawn Isn't

are all waiting for it. and let it BIZ

REPORTED STRIKE
AT GOLD CIRCLE

Our correspondent at Gold Circle
writes us that another rich strike IF
gold ore of sensationally high value
has been made in the camp on Tues
day of last week by Story, Reeves
and Hager.
The strike was made in the foot
hills about two miles south of Bam-
burgers big find. The ore is of a
different character from that first
found in the district. being gold, with
which some of the rock is literally
filled.
This makes string of rich dis

five and a half miles. 1t is estimated
that the rock found on the new
strike will run about $4,000 pei

WHEAT CROP SHORTAGE

The recent reports of probable short
age in the wheat crop, which were sup
posed to emanate chiefly from bear in
terests, are fully substantiated by the
official government statement issued
last week. 1t seems that present indi-
cations point to shortage of 100 900, 900
bushels of winter wheat alone. The
prospects for spring wheat are un-
favorable generally as consequence of
the unusually bad weather for farm
work.
A short wheat crop means higher
prices for flour and for its baked prod
uct. The magnitude of the shortage
now indicated may be understood from
the fact that the average yield during
the last six years has been close to
700,OO0,000 bushels. A drop of one
seventh in the supply Of winter wheat,
plus the probable shortage in the
spring wheat crop, is thus seen to be
a matter of great Importance.
There is chance, of course, that
conditions may improve so as to di-
minish the shortage as now estimated.
although winter wheat is so far ad-
vanced at this time that there is not
much ground for such hope. It is too
early even to approximate the yield of
spring wheat, however, and possibly
that crop may turn out we'll enough
to partly compensate for the loss in
the winter variety -
Fortunately the surplus wheat crop
of the United States is so large that
there is assurance of sufficient for home
consumption even in case of such a
deficiency as may be expected this
year. Wheat has been for years rela-
lively cheap commodity in the United
States and there is no cause for alarm
in the fact that dollar wheat" is al
ready in evidence.
But there is satisfaction in knowing
that the average corn crop of the
United States in the last five years has
been near $500, 900 bushels. THAT is
equivalent to about thirty bushels for
every man. woman and child in the
country. If wheat products soar too
high, what's the matter with corn
cakes and corn bread?

THE TWIN INIoUITlHs

Persistent effort finally broke up race
track gambling In Los Angeles and the
time is ripe for breaking up the twin
iniquity of prize fighting. The bald
swindle perpetrated upon spectators Of
the mill" last week should be suffi-
cient to disgust even the most ardent
admirers Of pugilism, although It has
not yet so impressed the city council.
There is a broad line of difference be-
tween reputable horse racing and race
track gambling, and there is like diff
ference between decent boxing and bru-
tai prize fighting. even when the latter
is Square" Such concerns as the As
cot park gambling scheme and the
fighting swindle at Maud Junction are
parallel disgraces to Los Angeles The
first has received its quietus and the
second should be suppressed at once,
even IL the council is compelled to re-
verse its opinion.
A vast majority OF the American peo-
pie have a weakness for viewing real
ly good horse race, whether it be run,
pace or trot, provided all accessories
are respectable. There is an instructive
American love, also. for reputable ath-
letics, particularly the so-called "art |
of self-defense" known as boxing. An
exceptionally rapid horse or an unusu-
ally clever boxer is an object of gen.
eral admiration. Each is an example
of high physical development and the
results of careful training.
But neither gambling devices in the
guise of horse racing nor fisticuffs in
the form of brutal or fake prize fight
ing find favor in the eyes Of self
Americans.
One of the two conspicuous blots on
the fair fame of Los Angeles was OBJ
liberated few weeks ago when the
Ascot park iniquity was closed forever.
The twin blot of prize fighting should
now be erased. Even the most hardened
patrons of the ring agree that the
exhibition of last week was "the limit"
and SO it should be adjudged by the
,ity authorities.

CUPID IS AGAIN
SLY PERFORMER
Captain Shea, Who Has Aided Hum
dreds OF Couples to Enter State
of Bliss, Is Finally
Victim

Capt. Thomas ]. Shea, deputy coun-
ty clerk, keeper Of the county's GRIM
inal records, a campaigner Of national
reputation and one of the best known
and best liked men in Southern Cali
fornia, has taken unto himself a wife.
The news was broken yesterday to
many of the captains friends who
dropped into the court house to wish
him we'll and a happy honeymoon.
The bride is Mrs. Myra McFatridge,
81 years of age, and with the war
veteran ten years her senior they make
a happy and devoted couple.
Captain Shea has had splendid
reputation for service in his country s
behalf He began his career in the
Civil war, later taking up river serv-
ice on the Mississippi. Following that
he served for many years in Wash
ington and when the Spanish war
broke out he again thought himself
of the god of war and went to the
front, that time as quartermaster.
Just prior to starting for the Philip
pines Captain Shea became i'll and
was unable to go or there would have
been three wars to his credit.
Cupid Steals March
Since his service in Los Angeles
Captain Shea has been known as one
of the most efficient clerks in the en-
ploy of the county. He kept the GRIM
inal records and exhibits in a way
they had never been kept before and
he won much commentator from at
torneys who prior to that time had had
a hard time to secure what they want
ed from the records.
Captain Shea in his capacity as
county clerk has issued hundreds of
marriage licenses to happy young
couples. He had good word for all
of them and they never forgot him.
He and Clerk Watson were known
as the Cupids of the court house. Then
the death of Mrs. Watson year or
so ago cast gloom over the marriage
department. Time changed that sor-
row and one evening Cupid Watson
stole march on his friends and on
his old comrade, Captain Shea, by Sc
curing a license to wed. The wedding
was performed quietly and that Cupid
Watson was again a benedict was not
discovered for several days afterward.
Captain Shea in the meantime had be-
come engaged to Mrs. McFatridge,
hoping to spring surprise on Watson,
and their marriage came as a dual
surprise to their many friends.
Congratulations by the dozen have
been received by Captain Shea and
his charming wife during the past day.
