MAGNATES MUST
APPEAR IN COURT
NOTIFIED BY PHONE THEY ARE
UNDER ARREST .
Street Railway Officials viii Answer
for Failure to Equip Cars with
the Proper Make of
Fenders

Warrants for the arrest of the man
ayers OF three of the local street car
companies and also for one motorman
from each road have been issued and
those to be arrested were notified of
the action by telephone yesterday aft
ernoon. They are summoned to police
court tomorrow, when their attorneys
will plead for them and the case Will
then be set for a future date.
Although the members of the prose-
cutting attorneys office have ready a
large number of warrants none Of them
will be served until the cases against
these men are settled.
The men for whom the warrants were
issued yesterday are H. e. Hunting
ton, president and general manager,
and George W. Dwyer, motorman Of
the Pacific Electric; 7. r. Gabel, gem
eral manager and George W. Ham
mond motorman Of the Los Angeles
Pacific Railway company; S. B. Nc
Lenegan, superintendent, and John
White, motorman of the Interurban
Railway company.
These men are charged with violat-
ing the city ordinance requiring fen
ders conforming to certain rules to be
on all cars.
It is claimed that the case will be
hotly contested and that attorneys for
the street car men will try to prove
the ordinance is unconstitutional. T.
r. Gabel was fined 5000 in the police
court for a similar offense several
weeks ago, but the case was appealed
and the appeal is still pending.
The officials of the roads claim the
ordinance is unconstitutional, as there
is only one fender made which answers
all the requirements. They say the
ordinance compels them to purchase
this make Of fender and for that
reason 1t is unjust.

7ECOPA MINES
SHIPPING ORE
INSPECTION OF CONSOLIDATED
AT TEC0PA
Six Hundred Tons Loaded to Go to Salt
Lake-PIans Made to Build a
Spur Railroad to the
Mines .Lh5ali,

| Special to The Herald.
RHYOLITE, New, April Hilary
G. Mcmahon and o. L. Becker have re-
turned from Tecopa where they in
spected the Consolidated mines.
Mcmahon states that 600 tons have
been hauled to the railroad and that
| the trainload of thirty cars will be
shipped to the Taylor & Brunton samp-
| ling works at Salt Lake as soon as
the Tonopah e. Tidewater railroad can
| handle the cars.
| Mcmahon says the company has re-
ceived offers from both Salt Lake firms
| to handle the output of the mines on
| O bonus.
From now on there will be from
| fifty to 100 tons of ore day taken out
of the mine and at the present time
enough ore is being taken out in the
| course of developing to pay all ex-
penses and not foot of stopping has
| been done.
The company is working thirty men
and an increase will be made as soon
as the new equipment is installed. A
12-drill compressor and a 100-horse-
power engine are being installed in the
Gunsight, where the drills will be op-
Grated on the 300 and 1000-foot levels.
On the MONDAY the shaft is down 120
feet and will be sunk to an additional
distance of 500 feet with the aid of a
new 40-horsepower hoist.
To Build Spur Road
The latest move on the part of the
company is the arranging of 5mile
spur from the mine to the Tonopah &
Tidewater railroad. This spur will be
built and paid for by the mine owners
and the railroad company will rebate
the owners on all ore shipments until
the spur is paid for.
The spur will be ready for use within
sixty days.
In speaking of the property Mcmahon
said: THE mine is self supporting and
we are only beginning to work. We
are only taking out the ore that is
necessary to development and not un-
til we have blocked out all the ore in
sight will begin the real business of
mining. We wish to be ready to make
the big clean up at once for in that way
we can save expense.
There Is a good story back OF the
finding of the Gunsight mine, for thirty
years ago the mine was discovered and
worked and the ore hauled to Cotton,
Cal, nearly 200 miles across the desert.
The mine was shut down when the
silver fell off In value and has only
recently been reopened. At the time
Of the discovery a hunter took piece
Of the metal dug from the mine and
made of II sight for his gun and
from that bit OF silver the mine OBJ
tained it's name.

A Ridiculous Situation.

These findings call attention To a rather
ridiculous state of affairs. for when 1t is
observed how the INSCRIPTIONS dealer can
profit by the laXity Of the present law
when il is noticed how he is able To reap
n financial harvest by representing his
goods TO contain more butter fat than ii is
once apparent that he would reap even
a greater harvest If the standard were re-
ducod. as is proposed by State Dairy and
Food Inspector Peterson bill which Is
remedy this 4, is proposed to amend the
bill by arranging a standard scale Ac-
cording TO this there will be at least
three grades testing lS - 30 per cent
lished by law so that the consumer will
know what he is buying. The matter is
now being agitated by parties interested
and whether the amendment will he en-
bodied in the act remains. OF course. TO
be determined.
Other deceptions that are being prac-
tised in this city appear from the follow
ing statement made by w. J. Frazier.
