GOLD STRIKE in
WEAVER DISTRICT

PRESCOTT, April 4.-With samples
of gold ore of remarkable richness,
Andrew Peterson arrived here last
week from his group of claims in the
Weaver district. The ore was uncov-
cred a few days ago i'm shallow shaft
on one of his seven patented claims,
which cover the extension of the Oc-
tave series of veins and adjoin the
holdings of the Octave Mining com
pany on the east.
To the naked eye the samples APP
pear as rich in the yellow metal as
any seen from the new strike in the
HarcuVar mountains near Salome. The
pieces and specks of gold are larger
than any seen in the specimens taken
from the Harcuvar strike. The rich
rock was found in a large ore body
which carries high grade milling
values.
The discovery was made by Peter
son. 1t Is located near where ore sim
liar in character and very rich in gold
was uncovered last year. The Peter
son group is under bond to Ed Zeiger
of Congress Junction, who Is prepar-
ing to start active development. Mr.
Peterson says that he bonded the prop
critics to Zeiger, being without means
to develop the ledge to any, consider
able depth on account of water. There
is 1900 feet OF development on the
seven claims, consisting of tunnels
and shafts.
Miners familiar with the ground dc
not hesitate to say that 1t Is equally
as promising as the Octave was In the
same stage of development and VIII
prove with development as great a gold
producer as the latter.
The Octave mine is developed TO
depth of nearly 1000 feet 1t has an
enviable record as a gold producer.

Germs of this city Is brewing as the re-
suit of a squabble over the ownership
of a city license.
Red" Williams and Frank Moore,
the present owners of the r. & M.
service, have protested formally
against the Union messenger service
conducting a business without Ii
cense. R. E. Clancy, who is the pro-
prietor of the latter concern, makes
the claim that, while he owned a half
interest in the r. & NJ establishment
some months ago, he and his partner,
Frank Reardon, who has since died,
purchased the license under which the
r. & NJ. service is still doing bust
ness, and, as the license was not in
cluded in the bill of sale, hejs still en-
titled to do business under 1t, The r.

eral different hands since Clancy was
in power
Chief of Police Seccombe held a con-
ference with the city attorney. and
after several lawyers w. called i'll
on behalf of the two establishments,
Clancy was notified to get license or
close up. He closed up.
The two messenger services have

ment into the fact that the license was

AUDITOR NOTICE
Operation of New Law Expected to
Make the County Richer to
Extent of More Than
100000
Especial to The Herald.1

SAN BERNARDINO. April 4.-Un-
der bill recently passed by the leg
islature the state comptroller has de-
manded that the county prepare for a
sale of all the property on which taxes
have been delinquent for a period of
five years.
Under the old law delinquent prop
erty could be sold on demand of any
person desiring to bid on same after
it had been sold to the state, but I'M
der this arrangement only certain
tracts were sold The larger part of
the delinquent taxes were not paid,
as the owners were generally willing
to retain an interest in the property
by paying seven per cent of the
amount of the delinquency every year.
In this way they could redeem it be-
fore the sale should one be advertised
Under the new law, however, 1T is
compulsory for the comptroller to de-
mand that the counties dispose of
these delinquent lands, and the coun-
data on which to conduct the sale,
which will be the biggest thing of its
kind ever held in this county.
1t is estimated that when the sale
has been consummated and everything
in the way of delinquent taxes cleaned
up the county will be richer to the ex-
tent of more than 100000.
Riverside county has also received
a demand from the state comptroller
to dispose at once of all lands on
which delinquent taxes have accum-
ulated for more than five years.

OCEAN PARK, April 4.-Many citi-

nation at the lack of discrimination of
certain saloons in Ocean Park regard
ing the sale of liquor to minors.
Late last evening the police were
compelled to place a number of young
men from Los Angeles in custody for
disturbing the peace. Being ques-
toned, they admitted they were only
20 years old, and stated they were
served with the liquor at the Saint
Marks and Decatur bars.
The managers of these places are not
being blamed in this particular case,
as the youths told the bartenders that
they were of age. 1t is said by many
persons living here that the utmost
care should be used in selling liquor
to young men in order to avoid selling
to minors.
One citizen said: "They probably
