eo,n FROM OCEAN SANDS

From Shasta to San Diego, all the
way along the shores of the Pacific
Ocean. there is gold in the black sand
which, for the greater part of the length
of the state, underlies the gray and
yellow sand of the beach. This has
been known to mining men for score
of wears or more, but ever since they
found 1t out they have been completely
baffled in all efforts at getting 1t. So
writes Harry H. Dunn in the Technical
World Magazine.
The values in the sand are low, not
more than 25 cents per ton, and the
sea washes heavily over all manner of
structures which are set up on the
beach to separate the sand from it's
gold. These were the two principal
obstacles to be overcome: To find a
machine which would withstand the
storms of winter and the tides of sum-
ner and at the same time be delicate
enough to draw the gold from the black
mass of the beach
AT last, however, the riddle has been
solved despite the wrecking of one of
the plants with which the work was
commenced, and a recent cleanup of
one DAVIS run of 1000 tons of black sand
paid 5000 over and above all expenses.
The full value Of the gold in the sand.
could it have been entirely removed,
would have been $3.50, the actual
amount taken out was about $2S5
worth, making the cost of handling
that 1000 tons of sand a trifie more than
cents a ton, the cheapest mining yet
known to man.

Special to The Herald
OCEAN PARK, March 10.-How
would you like to be the ice man-in
Ocean Park? The South Coast Civic
league, which is headed by Mrs. Cora
V. Lewis, today declared, war on short
weight dealers. At a meeting held at
the Country club complaints loud and
somewhat bitter were made of the tao
tics of the ice wagon drivers, One very
prominent society woman of Ocean
Park declared that on three different
occasions she had but fifty pounds of
ice, or rather paid for fifty pounds.
measured by the drivers icy eye, and
On measuring herself found she had
really obtained 20, S2 and S5 pounds re-
spectively.
II protested, but my only satisfaction
was: Madam, what do you think I've
been driving an ice wagon twenty-one
years for except to learn how to meas
ure ice with my eye.'
Mrs. Eaglegoff- -Rundell told of anoth-
er woman on the beach who had her
ice, fifty pounds, measured every day
in a box which by actual weight could
rot have possibly held over nineteen
pounds. To meet the condition the club
determined to make fight at once for
ar ordinance compelling every ice wag-
on in Ocean Park to carry scales. The
matter will be brought before the city
trustees at the next regular meeting.

POLICE ASK
HIGHER TAX
ON MEDIUMS
CHIEF WOULD RAISE LICENSE
FOR FORTUNE TELLERS
Commission Refuses Permit to South
Broadway CIairvoyant Who
Denounced the De.
partment

Chief of Police Edward Kern pro-
poses that mediums, fortune tellers,
palmists clairvoyants and the like shall
pay SIS month license instead of $50.
Until The Herald exposed the graft
practiced among the dishonest class of
fortune tellers the city eXacted only $15
monthly.
Yesterday four fortune tellers sought
permits from the police commissioners,
and got them after establishing their
legal right to them. This invasion was
one of the factors in determining the
new move of the chief.
Commissioner Woodill seconded the
plan, saying that the amount of money
coined by crooked soothsayers justified
the extra license in order to pay for
police surveillance.
Commissioner Lewis suggested that
action be deferred a week until the
question could be more thoroughly can
vassed. This, at the suggestion Of
Mapor Harper, was done.
The board refused to grant permit
to practice palmistry to Mrs. M. e.
Shelton of 3311s South Broadway. The
police report to the board says:9
The woman broke into TRADE
against the police department when
we called, and as no one had made a
remark against her personally it is
probable that she had in mind a
course of business that could not
be permitted in this city. Her anger
was caused by chagrin, and per-
haps she thought her plans had be-
come known ahead.

OPPOSE BALL0TING BY RUB

Next Tuesday Night the Charter Ex-
perts Will Discuss Commission
Form of City Govern
nnent

The charter revision commission last
questions, though the attendance at
the session was smaller than usual.
The commission adopted William
Mead's motion that it is the sense of
that body that there shall be no party
column and no circle or other device
permitting voting of straight party
ticket with one impression of the rub
ber stamp.
The decision was also reached that it
is the sense of the commission that as
small number of administrative Off
GERS be elected as is compatible with
public interests.
Another resolution brought up was
referred to the committee on legislat-
i've department, namely, that it is the
sense of the commission that no occu-
patton or license tax be imposed except
on such occupations as require police
supervision.
Commission Form Next
The commission decided to make as
the special order for next Tuesday
discussion of the so-called commission
form of city government.
At the last session Meyer LissneI
moved IHdJ all party cOiuHluS OH Ddt-
lots be obliterated and that straight
party voting be abolished. This was
the special order for last night, and
provoked an hours debate.
Commissioner John Murray last
night moved, with Mr.. Mead second
ing, that Mr.. Lissner's motion be
amended so that party designations be
provided for on the ballots. This was
lost by a vote of 5 to 5. The ayes were
Commissioners Murray, Finlayson,
Haynes, Fishburg and Mead.
Then Mr.. Mead suggested an amend
ed form, which Mr.. Lissner accepted,
by which no party columns and no cir
cles or devices permitting of straight
voting with one rubber stamp impress
sion.
This met the wishes of the majority
and will be Incorporated in the char
ter. Mr.. Murray's motion will be in
cluded as an alternative proposition.
On the question of reducing the ad-
ministrative officers for cities Mr..
Lissner first moved that it be the sense
of the commission that elective offices
be diminished.
Mr. Finlayson's motion, somewhat
broader, seconded by Commissioner
Washburn, won, however, it providing
that as small number be elected as
the public interests demand.
The absentees last night were Com

Special to The Herald
OCEAN PARK. March 1O.-At the
urgent request of the state board of
health, seconded by the health boards
of Los Angeles and San Francisco, the
women of Ocean Park have begun a
war of determination against rats. At
a meeting of the Civic club this aft
ernoon, at which Mrs. Cora V. Lewis
presided, communications were read
from the San Francisco and Los An
geles health officers urging the rat
work in order to check any approach
ing danger from the bubonic plague.
Ever since the destruction of the
board walk along the ocean front be-
tween Venice and Ocean Park scores
OF residences and business houses have
ben overrun with rats Santa Monica
has been likewise afflicted, and now
the condition has become a menace to
health. The health officers informed
the women of the Civic club today
that Long wharf at Port Los Angeles
was a great rat rendezvous, and that
undoubtedly hundreds of the pests
easily made their way three miles
shoreward to the beach towns.
Miss Elliott, teacher in the Los
Angeles Normal school, addressed the
club, urging the formation of a chill
dren's auxiliary in civics. 1t was de-
cided to organize the children, under
the leadership of Miss Elliott. A
Shakespeare section of the club will
be organized at the Country club next
Tuesday afternoon at 2:30. Members

SAN DIEGO, March 10.-Bearing the
trophy for the highest target practice
record ever made by a vessel of the
American navy, the cruiser Albany ar
rived in port today from Magdalena
bay, having made the run in forty
seven hours.
A little information as to her re-
markable gunnery on February II at
Magdelena bay was received some time
ago, but the first details were learned
today. With a target twelve by TWEEN
ty-one feet and placed at a distance of
1000 yards, the cruiser steaming ten
knots, scored sixty-fve out of the first
siXty-six shots made and registered
the majority of them in the bullseye.
This was done with five-inch guns.
Speed was a record breaking feature.
The shots were fired in sets of six, the
fastest six being made in twenty-five
seconds and the slowest in thirty sec
onds.
The record was made under a pc
culiar disadvantage, the entire crew
having been vaccinated only ten days
before when off the coast of Salvador.
WASHINGTON, March 10.-The
cruiser Yankton reported to the navy

seaman named Jeffs The dispatch did

LIQUOR QUESTION
AGITATES REDLANDS
Drug Stores Are Without Drop, but
Are Prepared to Fight at
the Coming EIec-
ton
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
REDLANDS, March 10.-The liquor
question is agitating the people of the
city immensely with the approach of
the coming city election.
AS a result of an ordinance recently
passed by the trustees regulating drug
stores, the town is absolutely dry, the
druggists not having a drop for sale
even on physicians prescription.
1t is limited that the passage of this
regulation was secured with a view of
disgusting people with absolute pro-
hibition, which the druggists are en-
forcing, with a view to manufacturing
sentiment at the coming election to
vote favorably for the Casa Iona hotel
license and possibly a board of trustees
who would loosen up the drug store
regulations bit.
At the same time, it is said, the
wholesale liquor men are working with
view to insuring the election of a
board who will favor high license
tax for saloons.
The druggists oppose this and SO the
fight is on, the prohibition people in
the meantime making most of the sit
uation to insure a continuance of the
present rigid conditions as relating to
the sale of liquor.

SERIOUS DEFECTS IN NAVY,
DECLARE TWO EXPERTS
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 10.-That
there are some serious defects in the
construction of American battleships
was charged today by Captain C. MGR.
Winslow, assistant chief of the bureau
of navigation of the navy department,
and Commander A. l.. Key, former
naval aide to President Roosevelt.
The former officer said the ships un-
der Admiral Evans were all over-draft
when they left Hampton Roads. He
defended Admiral Rojestvensky for
taking the Russian ships into battle
with the Japanese with full bunkers of
coal. saying that the Russian COM
mander could not have done otherwise.
for he did not know how far he would
be compelled OF steam.
Commander Key attempted to direct
the form of his own testimony and in
CURED the displeasure of the committee
on that account. He criticised the
armor belt and the gun decks as being
too low, and the ammunition hoists as
unsafe.
He attempted to dispute the testimo-
ny of other officers, especially CHIEF
Constructor Capps, but was not permit
ted to do SO. Finally the committee
held an executive session at which It
was decided that Key should be heard
tomorrow, but that his criticisms
should be confined to ships and not di-
rected against officerssp
Captain Winslow, wMo was the first
witness, in defending the Russian adj
miral ,-sed the fate of the Russian fleet
as an illustration of the danger of go
ing into action with the armor belt too
far under water. At the same time, ne
said that the ships should carry at
least two-thirds their capacity of coal
and full ammunition and stores. He
said that two-thirds supply of all stores
would make all American battleships
too low and therefore the armor belts
should be raised. He could not state
the exact amount, as he said it would
vary on the different ships.
The witness was asked to compare
certain types of American ships with
the contemporary class of British ships.
He took the Connecticut and the Lord
Nelson and in gunnery said the Brit
ish ship had made better records for
rapid shooting with her battery of 81
inch gns than had been made with the
Connecticut's S-inch guns. He thought
this achievement was due probably to
IL holStS.
"On what ships now under command
OF Admiral Evans is the armor belt
misplaced?" asked Mr.. Burrows.
"All of them"
misplaced, because it is too low?"
'"Too low"
