THINK MISSING YOUTH
VICTIM OF UNDERTOW
inexperienced Swimmer Ventures
Alone Into Ocean and Is
Not Again Seen

LONG BEACH, June 26.-Clarence
Lawson, 10 years old, a resident of
Fresno, where his aged mother and
9-year- old brother live, is believed to
have been drowned in the surf off the
foot of Linden avenue early this morn
ing. He came to this city two weeks
ago and expected to pack his things for
his homeward trip after his swim this
morning.
Lawson left his room at 527 East
Ocean avenue at $50 o'clock this MORN
ing in company with his roommate,
Harry Mcclellan. He expected to at
tend Sunday school this forenoon.
Lawson told Mcclellan that he wanted
Just one more SWIM" which he said
would be his last That 1t was his last,
the evidence all indicates.
Mcclellan accompanied him to the
beach. but did not enter the surf. In
stead, he went for stroll along the
strand. Returning an hour later, his
friend was nowhere to be seen. Sup
posing he had returned to their room,
Mcclellan went there, but failed to find
Lawson, and the room was just as they
had left 1t. A prolonged search on the
beach. in which he was assisted by
the police, failed to locate the missing
youth, and this afternoon it was gener-
ally regarded as a certainty that Law
son was drowned, either having been
caught in a tiderip or seized with
cramps. He only recently learned to
swim and was not an expert.
The city recently established life
lines at the foot of Linden avenue, but
it is supposed Lawson went outside the
protected area.

BABY SEALS TAKEN FROM
HOME COMMIT SUICIDE

VENICE, June 26.-Venice aquarium
is without a seal for the first time in
nearly two years. "Venice," the big
seal that has amused visitors to the
aquarium. was turned out several
days ago because he had become too
noisy and his place was taken by two
baby seals brought here from Cata-
lima.
Removed from their native sur
roundings, the babies. which were only
four weeks old when they arrived here,
refused to eat and pined away and died
last week The pitiful cries which
they continually emitted as they lay
in the big tank at the aquarium
brought tears to the eyes of the excur-
sionists. Joe Silipegno, the keeper,
named them Teddy" and George
"" but even that didn't save their
lives.
The big fellow that was turned
loose remained in the vicinity of the
aquarium for several days, being fed
by Japanese fishermen and passing his
nights in an old boat moored near the
breakwater. He swan out to sea last
Friday and has not since been seen.

NORTHUMBERLAND MAY
BECOME BIG DISTRICT

ROUND MOUNTAIN, New. June 26.
northumberland mining district,
tlairty-five miles northeast of Round
Mountain, bids fair to become heavy
producer of silver as soon as milling
facilities are provided. Development
work during the past four and a half
years on the property Of the Reno
Goldfeld Mining company has opened
up a large amount of high-grade mill
ing ore. There are at least 1900 tons
on the dumps of Nos. 1, and tun-
nels, which, at a low estimate. carry
values of better than $40 per ton, or
total value Of over 100000.
Two and a half years ago work was
started on No. tunnel, on the north
side of Golding hill, which tunnel had
been driven a distance of about 5O0
feet south. This tunnel was extended
a distance of 400 feet, making total
length Of 900 feet. At this point
drift was sent out 1S9 feet southeast,
which cut one of the greatest bodies OF
low grade silver-gold ore ever known
to the history of the state, outside the
Comstock.
This immense ore dixie shows the in
credible width of between sixty-hve
and seventy feet. Numberless assays
from shovel and cars indicate uniform
values. running from five to ten
ounces in silver and from 81 to $2.5O
per ton in gold. The general average
will not fall below $500.

From Mines and Oil Fields
PLACER MINING LAW
A BAR TO PROGRESS,
SAYS ONE ENGINEER

That the mining laws of the United
States are a failure in so far as they
relate to the protection of the placer
industry is the opinion of Charles e.
Hanson, mining engineer.
"They allow unhealthy practice on
the part of groups of spectators who
seize upon large tracts of placer lands
and hold them for years without de-
velopment by very simple process of
changing Names" he says.
For instance, eight men take q
placer claim of 100 acres. Then they
drop one name on the list, add another
and take up another 100. They can
carry that same process as far as they
please until all the rearrangements and
combinations of names are exhausted.
BY that time the syndicate, through
technicality, within the letter of the
law, will have evaded its spirit and
come into. control of a large part of
district, holding it without developing
it fully. and keeping out others who
would go in and work the ground to
get the values out of 1t.
THAT is one thing which has sent
to Mexico many American placer oper-
ators, who under proper conditions
would greatly prefer to mine in the
United States"
In speaking of the Altar district, with
says full exploitation of the ground
has not been started yet for the reason
tina the holders are awaiting their
titles from the Mexican government
which cannot be granted until after
six months from the time Of denounce-
ment OF the claims.
He also says the invention OF the
GUNNER machine has indirectly revo-
lutionized the previously existing
theories of Mexican gold mining. The
Mexicans who operated the antiguas,
he says, thought they were at bedrock
when they reached the congiomerate
and went no farther
Since the GUNNER machine has dem
onstrated that not only does gold exist
in the cpnglomerate, but that it can
be extracted, miners have learned to
go beneath the supposed bedrock, and
are in many instances finding high
values in two underlying mantas.

SAN BERNARDINO. June 2S.-Mrs.
NJ. Malkus of Los Angeles, mother of

and held a stormy session with Detec-

The visit Of Mrs. Malkus terminated
in a peaceful settlement of the affair
which the Los Angeles woman ap-
peared to resent on account of the
publicity it secured. Various city Of
ficials, who were instrumental in the
joke, called on Mrs. Malkus and ex-
planned matters, generating Bunker.
Later Mrs. Malkus, who is real es-
tate broker in Inglewood, and her
daughter, with Bunker, held peace

be happily adjusted.

VETERAN, SEEKING PENSION,
DENIES COWARDICE CHARGE

LONG BEACH, June 26.-Another at
TENT is to be made by E. L. Babcock
of Los Angeles to secure a pension.
Papers are being prepared for him
here to be sent to Washington. Bah
cocks former attempts to secure q.
pension have come to naught because
of the fact that he was given a dis
honorable discharge from the army,
charge of cowardice being preferred
against him by superior officer.
Babcock states in his application that
he never showed any signs Of cowardice
and that when the officer accused him
Of it 1.-The incident which followed might
be called disgraceful."
Suffice it to say, my aim was poor"
continues the document, but he car
ried his arm in a sling for some time.
I then was discharged charged with
cowardice." The cowardice charge
originated, he says. in his absence
from the front at the third charge at
the battle of Resaca, when he had gone
to the tent Of his intimate friend, Col.
Dickerman, who was wounded, to as
certain his condition and offer aid.

COMSTOCK LOWERS WATER
LINE WITH NEW SYSTEM
Centrifugal Pump Sucks Famous
Old Mine Dry Below 2350-
Foot Level

RENO, June 26.-The best news that
has come from the old Comstock lode
since the announcement of the big dis
coveries in the Ophir was brought to
Reno by Leon NJ. Hall, superintendent
and consulting engineer for the Com
stock Pumping association.
1T will be remembered that when
the workings were flooded there was
no lack of ore on the lowest levels,
and had it not been for the inrush of
waters the Comstock mines would
have produced to almost inestimable
depths" says Hall.
After many struggles and the ex-
penditure of large sums of money the
water was finally lowered to the 2450
level 1t was held there for four years,
when it was decided to make another
effort to lower the water line.
A centrifugal pump was installed on
the 2250 level, and an air pump on the
2450 level. Their worth has been
demonstrated, for they have with ease
lowered the water to 202 feet below
the 1850 level.
This morning I descended the shaft
to the lowest point at which any hu-
man being has stood since 1885, the
pump men not even having been down
to this point.
despite the lapse of time since the
water has been occupying the shaft
the timbering at the water line is in
splendid condition, seemingly having
been preserved by the water, which so
quickly corrodes and destroys metal.
There is a large amount Of rubbish in
the bottom of the shaft, but this can
be removed without hampering the
pumping operations.
when the ore bodies at depth are
again recovered in the Comstock they
will be on and below the $500 level of
the Mexican and extending to the
northeast of any workings at present.
The bounds of the big bonanza never
We're reached in that direction, and 1
am confident that the story of the
Comstock has not been fully written.
1--WE will lower the water in the c.
and c. shaft to the 1850 level. This
should be easily accomplished, for we
dropped the water mark sixteen feet
in twenty-four hours"

REDONDO BEACH HAS
BIGGEST LUMBER MONTH

REDONDO BEACH, June 26.-In
complete reports show June TO be the
banner month in the history of this
port in regard to the importation of
lumber, according to a Los Angeles
Redondo railway official. There has
never been so much lumber unloaded
here in any previous month in twenty
years, and this is said to be due to the
unusually large supply Of railroad ties
received by the Santa Fe railway from
Japan. Three large cargoes of these
were brought here by steamers from
Muroran, Japan, and another steamer
is expected soon. Each steamer carries
about 900 ties.
Most of the lumber received here is
consigned to the Ganahl, Montgomery
&. Mullin and Lunsberry Lumber COM
panies, and is practically all used in
construction work in Los Angeles The
railroad ties are used for track repairs
and new construction over the entire
system Of the Santa Fe.
