PROSPECTOR SAYS
CITY IS LUCKY
HAS USED OWENS RIVER AND
RECOMMENDS 1T
Considers Price at Which Land and
Riparian Rights Were Secured
as Very Cheap--Expects
Railroad

Thomas Pigott of Lone Pine, a
miner and assayer who has been active
in the Owens River valley for several
years, called at the office of the cam
paign committee in the chamber of
commerce Saturday afternoon to con-
graduate the committee and the citi-
zens of Los Angeles on the splendid
prospect of bringing the Owens river
water to this city.
Mr. Pigott is engaged in mining in
the White mountain range on the east
side of the valley. He says that the
quality of the water in the owens
river is excellent, that he and many
friends of his have lived alongside the
river and used water directly from the
river itself for a long time, and that
it is as good as can be found any
where, anG to use his own words,
There are worlds of 1t"
"I consider the price at which the
city of Los Angeles has procured its
lands and water rights in the valley
extremely reasonable said Mr.. Pigott,
'in fact the prices that the city paid
are very much below what similar
lands can be procured for in the city
TODAY. and this is the general opinion
in the valley.
Mr.. Pigott states that the little op-
position which existed to the plans o1
the city in the valley is very fast melt
ing away, because the residents there
have begun to realize what the city has
claimed from the start, that the COM
ing of Los Angeles to owens river will
make for the prosperity of that section
rather than hurt it.
To take his own case, Mr.. Pigott
said, "It is to my interests, for instance,
that the Owens river project be car
ried through. because it will undoubt-
edly mean the building of a railroad
giving close connection with tidewater,
and bringing in of outside capital for
the purpose of developing the rich min
eral territory which surrounds the val
lev and it's resources generally"

THIS WELL FURNISHES
TWO KINDS OF WATER
special to The Herald.

EptCIdI 10 TIC I1tTdIU ~
WASHINGTON, June "A we'll which
yields fresh and salt water at the same
time has been discovered by a member
of the United Staets geological survey
half mile south of New Burlington.
Except for the fact that two pumps are
set in side by side, it resembles ordi-
nary wells, but one of the pumps sup
the water from the other is SO highly
charged with various mineral salts that
it is almost brine. This water has been
recommended by some physicians as
having high medicinal value When
first dug, several years ago, the Well
was a great wonder to the people of the
surrounding country, who nockeq IN
great number to see it and taste Its un-

Employers Liability.
The National Government should be

ton providing limited but definite
compensation for accidents to all
workmen within the scope Of the Fed

a model employers liability act, far.

creased to S79,527 cubic yards. There
was considerable decrease In the
output for May and June owing partly
to the advent OF the rainy season and
partly to temporary trouble with the
