BINDERY GIRL CAME NEAR
LOSING HER RIGHT HAND

Her hand caught between the jaws
of a folding machine, Freida Stahl d
bindery girl at the Home Printing COM
pany, lis North Broadway, came near
losing her right hand yesterday after
noon.
Miss Stahl, in a moment of weari-
ness, allowed the two rollers of the
folding machine to catch the end of her
fingers and draw them in. Her outcries
brought the other employees to her as
sistance and the machine was stopped
Just as the jaws were about to crush
the upper knuckles of her hand.
1t was only the prompt action and
presence of mind of several of her
fellow employees which saved her hand
from being crippled for life. The in-
iured girl was taken to the receiving
hospital. Two of the fingers were
crushed and may be useless for many
wears. The index finger was not so
severely crushed, although several
stitches were necessary.

the foremost financial institutions OF
New York and elsewhere.
In entering Los Angeles this company
made a wise choice in manager for the
local office in selecting G. e. Crary,
who will have full charge at this end
of the circuit. Mr.. Crary is well known
here and in Arizona and New Mexico.
He has been in the same business in
Los Angeles for ten years and was the
first to start the private wire service,
which has done so much toward build
ing up the business interests Of the
community.
When e. r. Dick was here a short
time ago to look over the field and ulti-
mately to decide upon Los Angeles as
the best point of entry to the south
west he became enthusiastic over the
possibilities here for his business. He
lost no time in organizing the office
and bringing in private wire service. 1t
is acknowledged among influential bus
mess men that the coming Of Dick
Bros. e. Co. is a great credit to Los
Angeles and the region 1t represents.

CONSIDERS THREE BIDS ON
PAVING SUNSET BOULEVARD
Public Works Board Has Not Awarded
Contract, but PattiIIo Contracting
Company Appears to Be
Lowest Bidder

Bids were opened yesterday by the
board of public works for paving Sun
set boulevard. No contract was award
ed but as far as can be determined.
until the city engineer has had time to
go over the figures and estimates, the
Pattillo Contracting company is prob
ably the lowest bidder.
This company agrees to do the paw
ing for 141a cents square foot. There
are nineteen items in the specifications
for this pavement, and three asphalt
contractors put in bids for the work
An experiment is to be tried with the
pavement for Sunset boulevard. In
stead of being the regulation asphalt
1t will be asphalt-concrete. This is a
mixture said to make a harder and
better pavement than asphalt, and is
much cheaper.

KEY PITTMAN'S LAST impress.
SION OF RAWHIDE BETTER
THAN EVER.

Key Pittman returned yesterday
from Rawhide, where he has been in
speeding his mining interests ther3,
and was more impressed than ever
with the showings of the camp.
This was my fifth trip to Raw
hide" said Mr.. Pittman, "and "a
month has interviewed since my last
trip. On the occasion of my former
trips the streets were crowded with
people, but business seemed chiefly
to be trading in town lots. On my
recent visit to the camp there were
not so many people to be seen on
the streets, but | observed a great
many hoists in operation. The report
made by some persons who have let
the camp to the effect that the boom
is dead, is absolutely untrue and
emanates either through jealousy, ig.
norance or disappointment, caused By
a lack of energy, or failures emanat-
ing from worse causes.
There never has been a camp in
the State that has disclosed the guam
tity or grade Of ore in the same
length of time as has been disclosed
in Rawhide. During the past six
weeks all of the leading mining COM
panies in the district having develop
ed as far as possible with windlass
and other temporary appliances, have
been busily engaged in erecting per
manent hosting plants. While this
work was in progress the other char
acters of mining development were
necessarily suspended.
The recent developments in the
Kearns No. 2 lease, the Murray, the
Big Four, the Tri-Lode, the Booth,
the IXL, and the various leases OF
the property of the Rawhide Regent
and Rawhide Rector Mining Com
pany, should indicate to any intelli-
gent and thoughtful mining man that
Rawhide has today the most wondes-
full gold showing and is destined to
be the equal if not the superior o:
any camp in the State"

TOnOpdh Capital
Is In New Camp
ORC CITY, NEAR HAWTHORNE.
RAPIDLY COMING TO
THE FRONT,

Orc City, a new camp about twelve,
miles from Hawthorne, and three.
miles from the famous Pamlico mine
which has produced several millions
in the past few years, is rapidly com
ing into the limelight. Develop
ment has been going on since las
August, and nearly every property
there has good lodges. There are
about fifty men in the camp at pres
ent and all of them are working. A
mill is on the ground and is prac-
tically completed. 1t is expected to
start in a week or ten days. The ore
bins of the mill are full Of ore and
a large quantity Of ore is deposited
on the ground waiting to be mille1.
The mill will have a capacity of about
fifteen tons per day. There is an
ample water supply, as the mill COM
pany has a pipe line from the springs
about a mile and a half from the
town.
The Orc City Townsite Company,
which is operating two claims at pres
ent, and own the mill, is formed of
Denver and New York capitalists,
and claim to have ample funds to-
push the development of the new
camp.
r. j. Highland, a prominent min
ing man of this city, who, with his
associates, is interested in the Bar
Gold Mining Company, yesterday re-
ceived reports that there had been
several new strikes made in the
camp recently. The Bar Gold Com
pany, besides owning several good
claims, are leasing on two different
properties and the showings made on
the leases are very fattering. The
lease on the Lolo claim of the Bar
Gold property has encountered "a
three-foot ledge at a depth of twenty
feet, which will assay between $50
and $50. They are extracting ore
from this ledge and placing it ON the
dump, preparatory to milling it.
The Solar Picks Mining Company.
operating the Davis claim, has struck
a ledge of extremely high grade ore.
which will give an assay of 81 to-
the pound.

Rich Gold Strike,
Made in Rdwhide

RAWHIDE, New, April 22.-At a
depth of eighty feet In the Luning
lease in Grutt hill this afternoon, a
blind ledge was uncovered measuring
two feet in width, eight inches of
which was practically alive with free
gold. In places the gold occurred n
thin leaves, practically plastering the
rock. 1t a into the thousands AMI
was believed to be the apex of an
immense ledge which would widen
out with depth and make the Luning
n OF the richest properties in the
Rawhide district.
The find was made practically in
the heart of the town, Business
houses and gambling places are with
in sight of the place and the news
Of the find spread rapidly. In a
short time the hillside was covered
with excited mining men and others,
all anxious to get a glimpse of the
rich rock being hauled to the sur
face. L is by far one of the bigge Z
strikes made in the camp.
The property was recently pur-
chased by c. l.. Hansen and asso-
ciates of Cobalt, who arrived at Raw
hide a few weeks ago for the purpose
of making an examination and with
instructions to invest if in his opinion
the condition of the district warrant
ed the belief that 1t was a mineral
producer.
