Muddy Thoroughfares Would Be Infre-
quent, Inspector Edwards Declares,
If Arrests Were Made fer
Violating Ordinances

Daily blasts from all quarters which
are pouring in at the city hall because
of the frightful condition of Los Angeles
streets since the rains of the past three
days have put Public Works Inspector
d. X. Edwards of the board of public
works in anything but good humor.
II don't see why the police can't help
us in this situation" said he. "It is not
all our fault.
"If the police would arrest porters
and others whom they catch sweeping
and dumping sidewalk aecumulations
into the street one cause OF annoyance
would be removed. And the same ap-
plies to drivers where wagon boxes are
not tight.
"The police could report many cases
which would help keep the streets in
better shape.
"All over the city the cry Is the same.
We need new streets. But let that be
as 1t may, II we had the right co-opera-
ton we could make a better showing
with the few men we have"
One of the greatest causes for COM
plant Is that gangs Of street cleaners
carefully make heaps of the dirt that Is
shoveled and scraped up, then 1t lays
for days until passing wagons have
completely annihilated the piles and
wasted the time Of the men who built
the dirt heaps. The number OF wagons
apportioned to the cleaning gangs Is
far too small and they make too few
trips. And besides much OF the dirt
which they haul long distances should
be used in filling up low places on
nearby streets, correspondents write.

School Entertainment
Was Great Success

Entertaining in the highest de-
gree was the entertainment
given by the school children last
evening in Thompson's hall.
The execution of the different
parts, bespoke careful prepar-
alton on the part of the students
and laborious and painstaking
/, care on the part of the teachers,
to whom all credit is due for the
general excellency of last even
ing's performance.
We regret that lack of space
will not permit us to give each
part taken, but suffice it to
say, that without an exception,
every part was well rendered, es-
pecially is this so of the broom
drill given by twelve girls. and
the precision with which each
figure was executed, captivated
the audience and called for an
encore. Songs were rendered
also recitations, dialogues and
chorus.
Hon. Chas. Lee Horsey made
the opening address, and gave
an interesting talk as to the uses
and purposes of education. At
the close of his remarks. Mr..
Horsey paid a glowing tribute to
the teachers, Miss Addie Cal
lahan and Mrs. Geo. 0, Sawyer,
for the earnest and intelligent
work performed by them during
the school term just closed; and
judging from the applause which
greeted his remarks, it is safe
to assert that he voiced the sem
timent of the entire audience.
One of the most beautiful, as
well as touching scenes that oc-
cured during the evening, was
when little Miss Mamie Orr, on
behalf of the pupils of the prim-
ary class, presented to Mrs.
Sawyer, a handsome silver tea
set. This was gotten up entire
ly upon the initiative of the little
tots and most strikingly pro-
trays the bond of feeling exist
ing between teacher and pupils.
At the time of the presentation,
the teacher was too overcome
for words, and could not refrain
from tears, which protrayed an
appreciation greater than any
orator in the zenith of his flow
cry combination of words could
attempt.
Altogether it was successful
. closing of most brilliant school
year and we can but hope for
the same high degree of profc-
iency in our schools of the flu
: ture.

Portland Capital
For PiOche Mines

A mining deal of considerable
significance wasaconsumated this
week when Chester L. Proebstel
concluded the purchase of the
Knob Hill group of claims from
H. c. Hammond. Mr.. Proebstel
is acting on behalf of Portland
parties, and mining company
is to be organized for the work
ing of the claims, at the head of
which is H. w. Rand, the Port
land mining man.
Mr.. Proebstel left for Port
land Wednesday morning. for
the purpose of arranging the
corporation and perfecting de-
tails for the working of the re-
Gently purchased ground. He
speaks in glowing terms of
the Knob Hill group and believes
they have values in great guam
titles and considerable richness.
This group is situate in the
Ely Mining District, about three
miles in an easterly direction of
Pioche and in the vicinity of
I
the Alps. The group consists Of
four fuR claims and fraction,
making a very extensive parcel
of mining ground. Assays taken
from the different ledges give an
average value of $3.50 per ton
and this character of mineral is
found in large quantities.
Mr.. Proebstel took with him tc
Portland a ton of this ore and
will have determined the best
method of working the same
while there. He will return in
a short while and at that time
active work will be inaugurateC
upon the properties.

Work On GeOrgia-PiOche

Pioche properties which are sit

liminaries are being arranged
for the sinking Of a shaft to a
considerable depth.
On the Columbia-Pioche,

Moon and adjoining the Demi-
john group, a shaft will immedi-
ately be sunk to a depth Of 100
feet, at which point . cross cut
will be run to tap the ledge
which crops out strong on the
surface. There is a ledge OF
manganese of about six feet in
width on this claim and other
strong ledges traversing it which
will give a surface value at most
any point of at least ten dollars.
Mr.. Anderson who is the con-
trolling factor in these compan.
les, expects to be in Pioche about
the last of next week and will
bring with him on his return an

Ore In the Iron
Crown No. 3 Mine

Manager Joe Taylor of the X
Ray was in town Friday and to
say that he was jovial hardly
expresses his feelings. The
cause of such manifestations was
a very rich and important strike
made on the Iron Crown No. 3
claim, belonging to the X Ray M.
& M. Co. A body of ore five
feet wide was uncovered, of the
heavy variety found in that sec
tion and which has always given
a good account of itself when
assayed.
The discovery of this body of
ore was a surprise. While the
management was confident that
great values were there, they did
not expect to find it so near the.
surface. The principal opera
tions have been on the X-Ray
claim, and about ten days ago a
man was put to work on the Iron
Crown No. 8 for the purpose of
doing the assessment work, of
course sinking on the strong vein
which permeates the claim and
a few feet only had been sunk
when the ore body was encoun-
tered.
Men will be kept at work on
this discovery to determine the
extent of this ore body.
Upon the X-Ray claim the
shaft has been sunk sixty feet
and is showing up very satisfac-
tory.
