she so desires. She has but to reach !
out the arms of welcome to assure
her position as the mining queen of
the great Southwest for all time, says /
Sydney Norman in the Los Angeles
Times.
AS a result of the articles that
have appeared from time to time in
these columns, it is now announced
that strong concern, financially
sound and already profitable engaged
in the industry, is ready to enter the
local field, if public sentiment favors
it's advent, if public spirit will help
it to obtain the necessary foothold.
1t will ask financial support from
local capital, to a limited extent, in |
order that the new plant may become
an integral part of the city, bound
to it by cogent ties of finance and of
mutual interest
To start with, the plan involves the
erection of a plant, somewhere on
tidewater, with daily capacity of
100 tons, and built in such manner
that units of. 100 tons may be easily
added as demand warrants. 1t would
be conducted in conjunction with
other successful interests that have
already shown ability to make inn
mense returns upon the amount of
capital involved.
The Times has been asked to ex-
anime the credentials of this concern
and has also been offered the privil-
eye of thorough examination of its
books in order that every statement
may be verified. These offers have
been accepted on behalf of the people
of Los Angeles, and, If the prelim1n-
airy reports are thoroughly verified
in every particular, the full PROPOSE
ton will be presented through these
abled to realize it's ambition and be-
come identified with commercial
enterprise that promises enormou;
returns, even if conducted upon
basis of profit far below that nov
used by the smelling trust.
So now it becomes the duty of thi
city to make up it's mind, at once AM
finally, whether or no the hand 0
welcome shall be extended, whethe
or no we shall grasp the opportunit
to assure our commercial supremac
as applied to mining.
No city can remain the center of
mining empire without the means :
reducing mineral wealth to re;
money, without the facilities whic
attract by the irresistible lodestor
of mutual interest. Shall Los Al
geIes reach out for the reality, or +
main the residence center only
mining men? The ore, the man, Il

make of Los Angeles what she is e
titled to by all the inalienable RICH
of geographical, commercial and G
matte conditions. 1t is a subject tn

tialities for the future. One viii
