The contact between the rhyoite and older ~porphyry is yet
unexplored, but give good prospects in free gold at the surface.
The formation at this contact is identical with the contact on
which the Kearns No. 2 shaft is on, and all surface indications
point to this a a parallel contact to the Kearns No. 2 contact.
This block of ground is on the proven territory, and as

pAwnDE HAPPY HOOLNdAN MINING AND LEASING co.
VIII NEVADA.
Dear Sir-I hereby submit a report on lease block . ~,
Happy Hooligan claim on the Rawhide Coalition Mining Oomc
panvs property. The blocks are located on the south END OF
Hooligan Hill and are 800 feet by 600 feet IN length. Inc
formation is porphyry, rhyolite with a dyke OF dloriate cutting
across the lease block.
The work done consists of a shaft about 80 feet deep, when
will be continued to the 5Ofoot level before prosecuting Is
started.
The surface wash gives very rich paintings In placer gold,
and the contact between the rhyohte and porphyry gives Vaiues
of free gold in every pannng at the surface.
would advise that this contact be further prospected and
l feel quite sure that an ore shoot will be found somewhere
along the contact. Your block has very promising surface indi-
cations and is joined by three of the best producers In the
camp: The Montana Rawhide, Truett and Miller Lease. These
last three are on the same dyke and this is striking directly for
your ground, and unless cut off by some fault or throw not
traceable on the surface, should continue into your property.
In conclusion your property is within the producing area
and has an excellent chance with proper developments, to be-
come a producer. .
Respectfully submitted,

DEMOCRACY'S DUTY

w ITH the Republican county con-
w vention in session the Democra-
cy is reminded that it must in
it's nominations declare its absolute
independence of the railroad corpora
ton which today will attempt to rule,
and if necessary overrule the delibera-
tions of the Republicans. A railroad
ridden convention cannot be expected
to act in a manner which will satisfy
the friends and advocates of free poll
ties and political freedom in California.
1t would be unnatural to gather grapes
of thorns, and we do not look for any
figs on the Republican railroad conven-
ton thistles.
But we hope and expect the Democ-
racy will profit by the opportunity it
now enjoys to choose candidates who
will be so far above fear, above re-
proach and beyond reach of railroad
ism that Republican votes will be given
to them for the sake of good citizen
ship.
Democrats have an opportunity to
show their belief in clean politics; and
if they give the public square deal in
candidates they will receive the sup
port of many Republicans who believe
in respectable politics.

The manner in which the enlightened
nations of the world have pIuckei
this game little republic through the
agency of thieving private corporations
and rascally diplomats has been a dis
grace to civilization. But for the des-
perate courage of Castro in driving out
the alien thieves and plunderers, re-
gardless of what the consequences
might be, his country today would be
harried by the hungriest and most
ruthless band of adVenturers that has
ever afflicted any people since the dawn

and the most artful and accomplished

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16.-LEditor
Herald: IS" wants to hear the opin-
ions of some of 1.-The great majority
upon the matter of the Salvation Army
and Ne Volunteers being allowed to
speak in. the restricted district. 1t is
not a question of accusing these peo-
pie of doing harm" 1t is a question OF
fair play. 1t is characteristic of re-
ligionists that each of them thinks
that his own particular ism is the only
one to which people ought to listen.
His thinking so does not prove that 1t
is so. Neither does the fact that some
people stop to listen lin the cool or the
evening" an evidence that the greaI
majority are hankering to go to open
air prayer meetings on Broadway
Crowds gather around the corn-cure
faker and the lightning calculator. And
surely If crowds are any indication OF
the temper of the great majority, the
Socialists-the only ones refused per-
nit to speak-attracted the record
crowds, not only in the "cool of the
evening" but in the heat of the day
at the city hall and the jail. The Sal
walton Army did not help the Socialists
to get fair play. 1t was satisfied as
long as it had the streets to allow the
constitutional rights of other people to
be violated.
Whether you believe with the phil
osophy of the Socialists or not it must
be admitted that they fought and sut-
fered FOR equal rights for all ana no
discrimination, and they are py SO
much more worthy of commendation
than those who clamor for special

WELCOME

Z OS ANGELES welcomes Acartily all
the delegates to the annual con-
IA yention of the National Life I'm
derwriters' association and the frlenos
of the delegates. Not only will the con-
yention transact q great deal of busi-
ness OF national and permanent i'm
portance, far reaching in its results
but it will learn that california be-
lieves firmly 'all work and no play
makes Jack dull boy" and will be in
vited to play.
Next to residence in California, the
most enjoyable of all the boons which
kindly Providence can confer on hui
man being is a visit to California. For
all the year round residents who have
the seeing eye, custom can never stale
the infinite variety Of the beauties and
attractions of this state. To occa-
sional visitors it is a glimpse Of Para
disc.
We know our insurance friends will
be enraptured with Los Angeles, if only
for one, strictly business reason. Here
is a place in which risk" will go on
paying his premiums, year after year
year after year, and will never thinl
of dying. He will live, and live, as u
his sole object in life were to keep his
insurance policy alive.
Los Angeles should be a paradise fol
life insurance men. If they insure
few likely citizens they will have ar
income for life, because the insured
will acquire the California habit oi
cheerful good health, and will get out
of the dying habit altogether. 'Nevel
say die" is our motto in this state.
We hope the convention will be har.
monious, that vexatious political ques
tions touching the relationship of state
and insurance will be discussed witt
good humor, that delegates and theil
friends will have a bullyAgood tim'
and will be 'dee-lighted" with theil

EXPLAIN HIS PLAN HOW TO
SOLVE DOG LICENSE PROBLEM

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17.-[Editor
Herald: I would like to write a few
lines in answer to Arthur w. Line,
whose letter appeared last week. In
Sundays Herald 1 advocated law that
would not compel the licensing of
dog, providing 1t is not allowed to run
loose. First, he wants to know how
such a law could be enforced. BY
simply doing as he says, II a dog is
caught loose on the street without a
license, let the authorities confiscate 1t,
and if the owner calls for 1t make him
pay a heavy fine for the offense; II
not called for let the dog be sold or
painlessly killed.
This plan, as he states, does not ad-
vocate the claiming of dogs, but the
maintaining of proper fence to Keep
them inside, and one who cannot pro-
vide a proper place to keep dog With
out allowing it to run on the street has
no right to keep one.
Mr.. Line also charges me with moi
being a dog owner Now L have two
of the incest dogs to be found in the
city, which 1 would not part with fol
any reasonable sum, They are moi
kept chained, neither do they run loose
on the street, but are taken for regular
walks every day. 1 maintain that nc
one has a right to allow his dog OF
other stock, such as cats, chickens, etc.
to become a nuisance to other people
whether licensed or not, and we al
know that dogs running on the streets
are a nuisance, and a license tag does
not make them less so.

TWo QUESTIONS


n NE of the announced purposes of
Hearst's Independence party" is
- to destroy the power of special
interests by destroying their principal
weapon. the corruption fund" Coming
from Mr. Hearst. this would be whim-
sical If the matter involved were not
of such serious Importance to the ma
tion. We realize the gravity of the
situation. aMs4
For the first time in American his
tory, a man has arisen who owes moth
ing whatever to personal achievement
or ability. everything he is or pos
sesses 10 money power, and in an eager
attempt to keep his power when his
source of power. his money heap, has
dwindled away, is making all kinds of
concessions, private agreements, bar
gains and deals, some of which he can
not conceal from the keener witted
readers of his papers, who can under
stand his changed attitude toward Har-
riman.
Hearst is no longer attempting to
pose as the champion of the people and
tnb uSICAluCI VI llA1lA AASANo os5eAAAlSA
railroad aggression and usurpation. He
is silent on this subject. He is equally
silent on the subject of his display of
financial strength at a time when his
heavy losses in yellow journalism"
were much talked of. His silence is
eloquent. To the understanding ear 1t
tells the true tale of the perfidy of
Judas 1. Hearst to the latest of the
popular causes which it was fondly
hoped he might champion-the cause Of
the people against usurping, tyran-
nous railroad corporation.
There are two kinds of silence-a
plain, every day, ordinary silence, and
a funded silence. The former illus
trates innocuous and the latter noxious
desuetude. Mr.. Hearst should spare
little time from playing at being a
great man and Warwicking a set of
ridiculous private political candidates,
and should answer two questions which
are clamoring for reply. They are:
l. What is the true reason for the
silence OF the yellow journals with re-
gard to Hartman and the Southern
Pacific?
2. Where did you get it, Mr.. Hearst?

GAMBLING

NITIZENS who are opposed to the
gambling feature and element at
~ race tracks and think a big cam
paign for eliminating gambling from
the life of the nation would be well
begun-which is half done-if it were
begun at the race tracks, should ask
all candidates for the legislature to
support anti-gambling measures. New
York and many other states have ruled
gambling and gamblers off the turf,
and the gamblers and their hangers-on
are seeking new fields Of operation.
Unless California takes definite anti
gambling action at the next legislature
this state will be overrun by refugee
gamblers from other states, and the
respectability and prestige of horse
racing, the sport of kings, will be
threatened. t t
No reasonable man is opposed to con-
tests between race horses any more
than he is opposed to contests between
sailing yachts, but in many places
gambling has not only corrupted but
has practically destroyed horse racing
as a sport.
Men think more about the odds than
about the horses. more about the
'bookies'' than about the owners, more
about the chances for gain or loss

Back TO the Land Is the
Cry OF the SOciOIOgiStS

TN ALL AGES the land has been the
renewer of the strength of the hu-
Il man race.
The Greeks, who idealized everything,
presented this truth in the fable of
Antaeus. All who came to subdue him
found that when he was thrown upon
the ground he rose stronger than be-
fore. and was finally subdued and slain
by holding him in the air where he
could not touch his mother earth.
Sociologists write upon the weaken
ine, of the race by crowding population
in the cities The loss of time and
strength in cities, the rearing of chill
dren in crowded tenement quarters, the
evils of child labor reflected in future
generations, are all elements in racial
decay. Man, having no contact with
the soil. wastes away.
Take San Francisco as an example
among cities Crowded ferries, over
taxed thoroughfares, delays in going to
and from work and business, deterlora-
tion of food by the waiting of meals
the nervous strain on the breadmaker
waiting for the bread winner 20 come,
all count against the physical we'll
being and mental balance that go to
make strong men and women. Back OF
1t all is the strain of competition caused
by the lure of a city.
Watch the crowds at San Francisco
ferry depot and the jam on the street
cars and verify this analysis or CITY
conditions and their effect upon the
lives of those subjected to them.

DOG TAX, IF COMPULSORY,
MUST BE GREATLY REDUCED

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17-[Editor
Herald: This dog question is evidently
not quite the simple question it has
been deemed by some, and we shaH be
lucky perhaps, after all, If we do not
get out of the dog catcher's fry1ngpan
into the Humane officers fire. just as
the dog catcher is out for all ne can
get, so it would seem is the Humane
officer. The "classy" officer who prose-
cutes his duties in the spirit indicated
by the letter of "Pasadena's Humane
officer" is not likely to be much I'M
provement on the dog catcher. Anyone
can see (however humane he may be
to does) he would not extend much
consideration to the dog owner who
has the misfortune to be poor. If such
as he have their way, and the dog tax
be made compulsory, without being re-
duced. there will, without a doubt, be
more trouble ahead all round than
there has been hitherto.
From this question Of dog regulation
we should as far as possible eliminate
the money question. To put or main
tain a pecuniary barrier between any
man or woman and such an elemental
right as the keeping of q dog Is an
unwarranted interference with the
liberty of the subject and discrimina-
tion against the poor in favor OF the

SAN PEDRO HARBOR

OF MOMENTOUS Importance in the
history of San Pedro harbor Is the
~ highly commendable action taken
yesterday by the city council asking
Attorney General Webb to bring suit
to test the titles of tide lands around
San Pedro harbor, and place the har-
Dor commission in position which will
enable it to go ahead with the harbor
project. The resolution calls for pro-
ceedings which will help bring about
the much desired result of freeing the
water front of San Pedro Without
access to that water front, free har-
Dor will be impossible, and nearly
every foot of that frontage is now
claimed by private parties, who, as
far as the development of the harbor Is
concerned, may constitute themselves
obstructionists and thwart what has
been the ultimate object of the fight
the freedom of San Pedro harbor from
all interests which would control its
operation or use it for the purpose of
furthering their own commercial ambi-
tions or private plans. In passing this
resolution the council showed COM
mendable zeal for the public interests
and the permanent prosperity of South
ern California.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-08-18

In the Sacramento valley men do not
hunt for a job, nor live on little until
they find it. There men are their own
landlords and their own employers. The
bread winner knows no boss except
himself, except possibly his wife. There
is no delay getting home to dinner
after the days work and no scanting
of food on the table, says the Fresno
Herald.
The various benevolent societies that
deal with the surplus population of
cities may well make a study of this
new land and its possibilities. Let it
be remembered, too, that farming under
this great canal requires no sorcery nor
con1uring. 1t Is easily learned and the
industrious mechanic who has learned
now to work easily fits his hand to the
plow and loads his table and lines his
| pockets with the result of his toll.
Ii the picnic vacations of the labor
ing people of San Francisco were turned
| INTO excursions to that new country
there would be a speedy draining off OF
large percentage of those who are
now striving to exist under city condi-
tions. That percentage would go forth
to independence, and the percentage
| left behind would be the better for its
opportunities in the city would be i'm
proved.
In other words, the prosperity and

reaching a proper equilibrium between
city and country population. Back to

DANCE HALLS

TN PASSING by a majority of six
to Barney Healy the ordinance
Il regulating dance halls, Los An
geles city council responded to the
demands of public decency and of
common sense. The attack on the low
dives and the vulgar resorts where
young women were imperiled and
young men got into bad company was
not intended as a reflection upon the
decent German element in the city.
No one dreamed of interfering with
the individual liberty of any group of
citizens, and the attempt to obscure
the issue by making it appear an at
tempt was being made by Sabbatarians
to interfere with individual liberty
failed. 1t was imperatively necessary
that some restriction should be placed
on the dance halls which, conducted
without restraint or without guiding
principle, could easily become feeders
of a great market of vice which every
one knows still exists in our civiliza-
ton, to it's shame. Since it seems to be
impossible to deal radically with vice
and it's market, since civilization seems
unable to solve the problem, it is the
part of good government to help ciyili-
zation to control what it cannot sup
press, and at least to provide reason
able guarantee that the young mer
and women of the community shall
not be exposed to the temptations ane
snares of old. shrewd, subtle and un'
scrupulous campaigners in vice.
