.NELR0SES AT WHITE CITY HIGH CLASS ACROBATs Midget Causes Excitement by Falling Into the
 Lagoon.

The last two performances of the Melrose quintet of college acrobats will be given this afternoon and evening at the White City. These remarkable athletes combine all that is known in the numerous turns and twists of the gymnastic and acrobatic world. Their performance comprises the most difl- cult feats and 1t seems they take their lives in their hands every day they go through them. .m
 With little good weather the people arc showing their loyal appreciation of the efforts of Manager speck to give them all that Is wholesome and sensa- tional in the outdoor amusement world.
 The interest in the free silverware prizes increases with each week. At Thursday evenings presentation three more Yale students were the lucky ones and walked off with three of the hand somest gifts.

 The Filipino midgets are wonders in more ways than their diminutiveness. Recently they have been freely indulg- ing in the exciting rides on the carousel, scenic railroad and the chutes, which they seem to enjoy immensely.
 Juan de In Cruse, a little man only 29 inches tall, one of the troup of mid gets on exhibition, has been particular ly fold of the chutes, and after num- ber of rides he became bold enough to want to occupy one of the front seats
 Juan made the decent of the incline and succeeded in holding fast to hls seat until he reached a point near the center of the lake, when with one bound whether purposely or not. Is not stated the boat tossed the little man high in the air, allowing him to fall with a miniature splash into the lake.
 The White City's fire alarm was sounded. and in a few seconds many men from the grove, as well as the park, were on the scene with hooks, axes, fire hose, extinguishers, and lad ders. They carried buckets of water from as far as the shore front thinking there was fire.
 In the mean time Juan was keat busy in the lake lodging hooks and ropes that were meant to assist him. Each time a hook would come in con tact with the little man. cheers from the crowd on shore would be heard, and then anxious silence as the little fellow sank below the surface. Finally sus- pense was relieved when ono of the em- ployers of the midget exhibition shout ed through megaphone that the little man could swim. Serious faces took on smile, timid ones drew closer, and the would-be life savers with red faces, withdrew Little did they know that Juan came from a family of expert pearl fishers and sea divers.
 Juan swan ashore, little hurt for his experience, but cold and exhausted. He said much in a language that could not be understood, but it is supposed that he was offering thanks for kind offers of assistance.
 After dry clothes had been procured and a fire lighted Juan recovered his English enough to say that the treat" was on him and he proceeded to make good

Los ANGELES RANKS
FOURTH IN MINERALS
GREAT CENTER FOR SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA
Chief Gold Section Is Near Randsburg.
Angel City Headquarters for
Nevada, Arizona and
Mexico

While Los Angeles county is chiefly
noted as a horticultural section, it's min
eral wealth IS by no means unimportant.
Including petroleum, Los Angeles ranks
fourth in mineral products among the
counties of the state, and is the only
county in California which leads in five
mineral products.
Los Angeles is the center of number
of rich mineral fields in Southern Cali
petroleum and asphaltum. are gold and
borax There are also produced in small
er quantities silver. clay, gypsum, gran
ite. cement, lime and other mineral SUBJ
stances.
The chief gold camp of this section is
Randsburg, in Kern county, short dis
tance from the Los Angeles county line.
During the past few years this camp has
yielded millions of dollars in gold, much
of which has been paid out to Los An
geles merchants for supplies and ma
chinery.
1t was near the borders of Los Angeles
and Ventura counties that gold was dis
covered in California, during the mission
era, long before the discovery by Mar
snail dl SOlOlit WHICH electrified the
world. Some placer gold Is still taken
out in that section. There have also been
encouraging reports from gold quartz de-
posits in the Antelope valley. in the
northern part of Los Angeles Ncounty.
For many years some gold and silver
have been taken out in the Sierra Madre
range, about twenty miles northeast of
Los Angeles, but the formation there is
SO broken and the surface of the coun-
try is SO covered with brush that pros
pecting is very difficult.
Los Angeles is the natural headquar-
ters, not only for lne mining fields of
Southern California above referred to,
but also for the vast mining sections of
Lower California, Sonora and Arizona,
also of the immensely rich territory in
Southern Utah and Nevada, which was
recently opened. up 10 the world by the
construction of the San Pedro. Los An
geles & Salt Lake railroad. The manu-
featuring of mining machinery and sup
plies gives employment to a large number
of people. For some time past there has
been talk about the construction of a
custom smelter, and it is likely that one
will be erected If assurance can be given
that the fumes will not be obnoxious

GREATEST CURl0 COLLECTION
ON THE PACIFIC COAST

Any review of the business and COM
mereial establishments of Los Angeles
would be incomplete without a fitting
mention of the well known firm of Sing
Fat company dealers In Chinese and jap
anesc goods and curios of all descriptions
Sing Fat company was established in
San Francisco in 1866, and during the
fcrty years built UP very substantial
business, numbering among its patrons
the best people of San Francisco and OF
the entire Pacific coast Their goods, We're
plainly marked with a price so low as TO
always occasion considerable surprise on
the part of the buyer, and 1t was, by
means of this steadfast policy of one price
to all aud most courteous treatment that
the business of the firm grewNto the wlle-
spread scope 1t had attained at the time
of the San Francisco fire.
Soon after that disastrous event Sing
Fat company located in temporary quar-
ters at 1121 Post street and at the same
time opened up branch store in Los An
eeles, for they had always drawn a con-
siderable coterle of patrons from The
southern metropolis.
Mr.. Lung Yep. who for a number OF
years had been manager of the Emporium
branch of the company In San Francisco,
was placed In charge of the Los Angeles
store. and under his efIlclent management
IL has attained widespread popularity
among the local trade, In fact, the busi-
ness of the present branch. which is now
located on the third floor of the Central
Department Store. 6O9-6l9 South Broad
way, has grown to such magnitude that
the quarters now occupied have become
entirely inadequate for the satisfactory
handling of the trade, so Mr.. Lung Yep
has leased large and commodious store
at 54S-550 South Broadway. These quar-
ters will be ready for occupancy about
the last of January next. where Sing
Fat company will be pleased to greet their
many patrons

BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE
OF INDIVIDUAL BEH0LDERS

Art does so much to enhance the
charms bestowed by nature and to con-
ceal anything that approaches defect,
that there are few women nowadays who
do not claim to be beauties of some type
or another. Hair skin, figures and even
features are altered and studied and
improved to meet the tastes and desires
of beauty aspirants, and not without a
certain amount of success. 1t is really
most remarkable how peoples Ideas are
at variance with regard to what con-
stitutes beauty. OF course. different
nations have their typical beauties, but
even those standards vary at different
epochs Among ourselves in our own
country, there is vast difference In the
Ideal Of perfection in female beauty
Poets generally evince admiration for
that unstudied style of grace which is
so often the result of most careful study
Flowing hair and sweet neglect when all
Is art that looks like accident calls forth
endless praisc--in books. Most men,
however. would be repelled by this, and
would not fail to dub the careless Cor
seemingly careless) beauty as untidy or
lazy. One poet prefers a maid with olive
white as driven snow, while a third raves
over a rustic belle of the milkmaid
crder, as plump and rosy checked as an
apple Some like to see girl tall and
graceful as lily, palm, or lissome
young willow; others prefer smaller
and daintier edition, a sort of pocket
Venus" Some admire tresses dark as
night, others can see only beauty and
charm In hair like spun gold Well.
indeed, is 1t for us that every type in
turn is likely to find somebody to admire
1t, and that, whatever be the type, the
greatest truth of all Is this--that beauty
IS in the eye of the beholder.
