FIRE MIGRANTS
ARE ORDERED
COUNCIL FINANCE COMMITTEE
FINDS THE FUNDS
Two Large Engines VIII Also Be Pur-
chased for Department In Re.
sponse to Recommendations
Of Underwriters

The councils finance committee yes
terday took q far step forward in meet
ing the fire emergency that underwrit-
ers report exists In the business Sec
tion of Los Angeles.
The committee decided to recommend
that two monster fire engines be pur-
chased and 100 fire hydrants be In
stalled in the downtown section.
With the aid of Auditor Mushet the
funds will be found for meeting the
cost of these pressing public needs and
this action moreover will keep the un-
derwriters In good humor until the
fire bonds can be voted on Immediately
after the election for the owens river
water bonds.
The councilmen have been urged by
business men not to overlook the fact
that insurance companies are reducing
their lines In the business district of
Los Angeles and the action of yester-
day partly meets the wishes of the
merchants who do not want to pay an
Increased rate for insurance. AS poll
cles are written on an annual rate on
business property the companies can
put pressure whenever they want to-
On the other hand there are several
foreign companies which will take in
surance that American companies may
reject.
1t Is certain now that on Monday
the council will take the first step to-
ward issuing the Owens bonds by de-
claring that a necessity for their is
suance exists now. The following Mon
day similar declaration will be made
in regard to the fire and bridge bonds
By including the bridge bonds certain
councilmen whose constituents are
driving them to distraction by in
sistence that bridges be built will be
satisfied.
Chief Inspector Francis H. Porter of
the Underwriters association Is re-
sponsible for the recommendation of
the finance committee. He appeared
Fbefore that body, saying that he had to
go north and he wanted to make re-
port on just what Los Angeles pro-
posed to do Immediately concerning ad :
ditional fire protection.
The funds will come out Of next
years appropriations.

People Who Wish
They Had

Taken our advice and bought Mohawk
Johnnie mining stock are now filled with
vain regrets. Are you among them2
Mohawk Johnnie is now listed on the San
Francisco Stock and Exchange Board, and
the closing quotations for the week just ended
were lac bid and 15c asked. We sold this
stock at lOc per share and gave fair, full
warning that it would prove swift profit
winner. Events have demonstrated that we
knew whereof we spoke. At 14c per share
profit of 40 per cent is available to the
buyers of this stock at our advertised price,
and as their investments were made, on an
average, not more than one month ago, this
is at the rate, approximately, of 48O per cent
per annum. But we do not advise selling
at the offered price, despite the big gain it
would yield. On the contrary, we advise all
who own Mohawk Johnnie stock to hold fast
to the same and to buy more, for we believe
the stock will continue to climb until it's
market value is several times the price at
which we sold it. There is nothing arbitrary
or fictitious about the advance in the price
of Mohawk-Johnnie; it is simply the result
ola bonafide market demand, evidence of pub
icrecognition of the fundamental fact that the
Mohawk-JohnnieM Mining Company has some
of the choicest holdings in one of the rich
est districts on the great Goldfeld belt, and
as development reveals the golden measures
of those holdings the company's stock will be
clamored for and forced upward in price.
The Mohawk-Johnnie is now a producing
company. It owns and operates two splen-
did leases on the famous Johnnie Consol-
dated property Johnnie District, Nevada, and
has piled up on it's dumps large quantity
of high grade ore, some going as high as 1870
per ton, or nearly $1.00 per pound Within
ninety days mill will be ready to reduce
this ore and the large amount additional that
will have been taken out in the meanwhile.
The company also owns six splendid claims
south of the Johnnie Consolidated property,
the ore from which goes as high as $481 per
ton in gold Real mineral merit is back of
Mohawk Johnnie Stock as will be realized
by any one who sees the specimens of rich
ore from the company's holdings now open
to inspection in our office. There is yet an
opportunity for splendid profit in the stock
and we say to you
