from an extended visit in Los Angeles
ana he says the business men OF that
city are very much in earnest in their
recently developed ambition TO become
one OF the leading mining centers IN the
United States.
Untfl very recently Los Angeles ms

mining stocks bu. the people have
awakened to the fact that they have
been overlooking n Of the greatest op-
~portunitfes Of the decade. and they are
making UP for lost time with the char
acteristic energy of the Los Angeieno.
In fact they have just begun to realize
that Goldfeld IL q large and progressive
city, not q desert mining camp; a mod
ern community, substantially built and
inhabited by up-to-date pushing business
men. The discovery surprised them and
at the same time aroused their interest
and when the proposition to establish .
mining stock exchange in that city wal
started there was q general desire to get
in on the ground floor.

seats to be held by the corporation and
disposed of to desirable parties. The
charter membership IL already com
pletely filled and there are over 100 ap-
plications for membership awaiting con-
sideration by the governing board II
is the general opinion Of h leading
citizens Of Los Angeles that this ex-
chang will be an immediate and de-
cided success. 1t will be known az the

PENAL CODES
REVISION MADE
HOUSE BUFFER

The management OF the House Of
Representatives took steps on Monday
afternoon 10 head OF definitely OBJ
JectionabIe legislation In that branch
Representative Noon Of Pennsylvania,
introduced a bin providing that the bill
20 revise the penal code Of the United
s5'sS Saod,d De b sifeh S me status %
TO IS.
The adoption of this resolution means
II at the revision Of the penal code can
tate precedence over any legislation ez-
celpt appropriation bills. and can be
called lp at any time that an apprOpFia-
ton bill is not under consideration and
It's discussion can be insisted upon
indefinitely.
Inasmuch as the measure is extremely
YOluminouS and must be read in eX-
tense, as well as subject 10 whatever
discussion may be desired BY the MEM
bers. IL is considered that giving this
favortte status to IL makes IL an effec-
tive buffer for the rest OF the session
against any legislation not IN favor with
the House management. Although there
was no report on the Committee on
Rules on the resolution. II is understood
that tbA matter was submitted 10 the
committee ana had been considered.
Questioned about the matter this
morning, sGide of the members smiled

ate and the President was particularly
concerned about. Among the measures
now in suspense Is the bin providing for
the right 10 appeal on the part OF the
Government on law questions. and also
the bin of Representative la Fonette
to limit the hours OF continuous work
railroad employees.
Both OF these bills passed the House
last session and are now in the Senate.
Although they are expected TO pass. II
Is believed that they viii be mended 10
such an extent that II Will be necessary

and with the penal code measure oc-
cupyihg favorable position, il Is
thought impossible to give them long
enough consideration 20 affect their pas
sage. II Is understood that there is con-
siderable other legislatiOns for which at

now appears that the bulk OF the ses-
SION viii be consumed by the Senate in

The rescue of stufert was the most
remarkable one IN the history OF the

nal injuries.
The hremen, under Deputy Chief
Binns. had been working on the debris
since midnight Sunday IN the search for
the bodies Of the victims. when, at about
5.45 last night, William Decker. driver
OF Deputy Chief Guerin's wagon,
thought lie heard a voice from under
the tons OF Water-soaked cotton and
timber. Just then he heard a tapping
on a beam that stood straight up from
the ruins He listened and In addition
TO the taps he could discern the means
OF a man.
Deputy Chief Binns then ordered all
the workingmen and Gremen TO leave
the pile OF debris so there would be alb
solute quiet. Then he yelled at the top
o. his voice:
"Is that you. Jack7"
Binns put his ear 10 the mass OF de-
bris and could hear a slight response in
the affirmative.
Then the force of diggers, numbering
about fifty. started on the work OF res
cue.
BY o'clock IN the evening the res
cuers had gotten TO within six feet of
the fireman. They had carefully carried
away the debris to that point in arm
fuls. Binns got a powerful light and
holding il down close 10 the mass. asked
Stufert If he could see II. He answered
back IN the negative. But at this point
the resGuers were amazed to hear Stu
