■ FRIDAY, MAY 9', 18»0.
Now rti \t we have voted to build
sewers, Mayor Hazard has discovered
that the pipe manufacturing companies
have formed a "combine" to raise their
prices. Pipe that could have been
bought before at retail for $24,000, the
city is now asked to pay $;>O,OOO for. A
refusal to let bids above a certain price
for pipes, would probably burst the
"combine." At least we ought to try it.
Some of the San Diego papers are ex
hilarated over the visit of Huntington to
that city. But we are of opinion that
they place too much dependence in the
interest he seemed to manifest in the
running of a line to San .Diego from
Yuma. Railroad men have become
adepts in the Talleyrand method of using
language for the purpose of veiling their
ideas. It is evident, from Mr. Hunting
ton's thorough knowledge of tlie country
between Yuma and San Diego, which he
showed in his interviews, that this is
not a new proposition to him; and one
will be curious to know why he, being
so well informed, should have waited
until a rival road had got possession of
San Diego before taking any step what
ever looking toward a connection with
that city. __
The Examiner has struck a rich new
find in the Fourth andTownsend-streets
building. It gives a circumstantial re
port of some of the horrid things Mr.
Huntington did there. He called for
the pay-rolls and went over them care
fully. No less than sixty names, the
owners of which were all drawing big
salaries from the company for ''outside
service," were inexorably struck off the
rolls. Amongst these was one—a "Mr.
Jones, of Los Angeles"—who was man
aging to exist on a salary of $6,000 a
year from the corporation. "What does
that man do, and who is he?" inquired
the lord high executioner. "He lives in
Los Angeles." "Has he got an office
down there on behalf of the company?"
"Not that I know of," said Colonel
Crocker. "What the devil does he do
for the road to earn this fine salary ?"
Colonel Crocker could only say that as
far as he knew Jones was doing general
"outside work" for the company. Off
went his bead. So the great railroad
retrencher went over the list, and when
he got through he had cut off "outside
salaries" to the tune of about $300,000.
But we cannot refrain from repeating
Huntington's question : "Who the devil
is this Jones?" Can anybody tell?
Hon. A. W. Potts, bank commissioner,
has been in the city for some time with
his colleagues, examining into the con
dition of our banks. He says they are
carrying a good deal more money than
they ought to consistently with a health
ful condition of the business of the com
munity. Estimating the amount carried
by the national banks, which they have
nothing to do with, he says that there
cannot be less than one million and a
half dollars lying idle in their vaults. A
large proportion of this vast amount of
idle money ought to be engaged
in developing our industries and
expanding our trade. It is a
curious fact that, six months
ago, money was dear and hard to get in
Chicago. Within the past few weeks it
has become plentiful and is begging for
borrowers at cheap rates. This is more
or less the case all over the east, and we
see by Mr. Potts's report that there is a
plethora of it .here. An evident revival
of business is manifesting itself all over
the country, and there is every reason to
believe that we shall soon experience a
renewal of good times. Mr. Potts says
he has just made a circuit of the whole
northern part of the state, and Los An
geles as it is has more business stir than
he has seen elsewhere out of San Fran
cisco.
The people of the United States will
await with great curiosity the announce
ment of the cost of the farcical Pan-
American congress. All that feasting
and junketing must have come to a
pretty penny. As a matter of fact,
nothing practical has been accomplished.
Chile and the Argentine confederacy,
the two leading and most self-assertive
of the parties to the congress, outside of
Mexico and Brazil, both of which are
liable to lightning changes, openly an
nounce that they do not feel bound by
its action. The proposition to abolish
■war and substitute arbitration amongst
the nations of the American continent,
will doubtless be followed by some rat
tling shindy in Central or South
America within a very short time. In
fact, Mr. Blame has already nearly
precipitated himself upon Guatemala,
and may have to order a man-of-war
into the waters near San Jose" to obtain
the release of an American citizen by
that nominal republic. But the Ameri
can people can console themselves with
the reflection that the oratory on tap dur
THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 23, 1890.
ing the sessions of the congress was quite
as effervescent as the champagne which
was consumed in such unlimited quan
tities at Welcker's, Wormley's and all
other festive coignes of vantage through
out the country. The popular im
pression about the whole star-spangled
programme is embodied in the old
aphorism, "A great cry and very little
wool."
THE MINING OUTLOOK.
There is great mining activity today in
the immediate neighborhood of Lot An
geles. Development is going on about
Acton at a lively rate, and the yield of
bullion is quite respectable, These de
posits carry gold. To the north and east
of Daggett prospecting is being prose
cuted with energy aiul success. This is
stimulated by the presence in Southern
California of la v ge numbers of people
from the northern portion of this state,
from Nevada, Colorado and the east,who
are willing to invest in any good pros
pect. It is somewhat singular that
distance, in the past, has seemed
necessary to make a mining property
attractive. If a claim were located away
off in Sonora, or in some almost inaccess
ible portion of New Mexico, even though
the grade of ore was low and the pestif
erous Apache and the festive cowboy
were plentiful, people could always be
found to take an interest in it. But
when it was close at hand, and could lie
worked inexpensively and absolutely
without danger, no one seemed desirous
of purchasing an interest in the
prospect. This foolish idea has at
last run its course, and the
mere fact that a mine is located in a
civilized community, with good facil
ities for transportation, no longer acts
as a drawback. The Acton country is
quite rich in gold, placer and quartz,
while the region around Daggett abounds
in the most inviting silver lodes, which
| are rapidly being utilized. Renewed
I activity is being reported from the
Calico district. Towards the south good
reports reach us from the Old Julian
and Banner districts. Mines that had
been practically abandoned have gone
into strong hands, and the prospect for
a good bullion yield is an ex
cellent one. Even from Lower
California the news is encouraging
to those "who have gone across the
border to prospect for gold and silver.
Mr. 11. L. Flash, of this city, who went
down there some time ago, and returned
the other day, gives a conservative but
highly favorable report of the outlook.
The approaching early extension of tlie
Carson and Colorado railway to Mojave,
and the prospective speedy completion
of the Utah Southern road to Los An
geles, will make this city the center of
one of the most promising mining dis
tricts in the world, and treasure will
pour in here from all points of the com
pass, except the west.
. Tiik dispatches yesterday announced
that tlie United States district court had
decided tlie oil-car suit between "Whit
tier, Fuller & Co. and the Standard Oil
Company in favor of the former. This
decision is of peculiar interest to Los
Angeles. Whittier, Fuller & Co, had
been importing illuminating oil here
from Pittsburg upon cars which the
Standard Oil Company claimed were an
infraction of a patent of theirs. An in
junction was got out, and several cars
with oil were stopped and side-tracked
at Mohave, where they have been lying
ever sine& last January. Of course
the object of the Standard Company
was to prevent any competition in the
oil business here, and thus monopolize
our market. But Judge Hoffman has
decided that there was no right of the
Standard Company infringed by the
Whittier cars, and the former
company will have to take its
paws off. The result will be
that our local house will resume the im-
I portation of oil, and the price will neces
j sarily come down to competitive rates.
We saw it stated the other day that the
income of John D. Rockafeller, the
Standard Oil chief, was $18,000 per day.
This decision will reduce that figure a
few dollars, and our tears go out to him.
The National Editorial Convention
will meet this year in Boston, in Sep
tember. It will be attended by delegates
from the Southern California Editorial
Association, and these delegates have
determined to use their utmost efforts to
have the national meeting next year
held in Los Angeles. The national con
vention is composed of delegates from
all parts of the United States, and there
are even representatives in it from Can
ada. The benefits that would accrue to
this section of tlie state from the assem
bling here of this bright body of
newspaper writers are obvious. The
beauties ami attractions and the merits
of our country would be spread broad
cast throughout the United States. The
correspondence of the delegates would
practically reach every newspaper in
the union, and the attention this exten
sive publicity would direct to our sec
tion would be of incomputable value.
The delegates from our home association
to the Boston convention should be au
thorized to offer the most inviting in
ducements possible to the national or
ganization to meet here next year.
Wk DOUBT whether there is anything
to ,be gained by Southern California
papers resurrecting the charge against
the San Francisco press of studied un
friendliness towards this section of the
state. Of course they deny it, and in
sist upon tlie proof. There is no need
of proof. livery one who has kept in the
current of the discussion of the interests
of this end of the state is aware of the
unfriendly animus which has actuated
the San Francisco press. But what does
it all amount to? What should we care
about the interested hostility of the bay
papers? They are short-sighted, preju
diced and selfish. But that is their na
ture. We can paddle our own canoe
without their help and in spite of their
animosity. Therefore we believe it is a
mere waste of time to discuss their atti
tude towards us.
ROUND-UP TOPICS.
Of all the absurd things ever sprung
upon the American continent the stuff
about the invasion of Lower California
is the silliest and most pompous. There
is a flavor of Robadil and Bombastes
about the thing that is amazingly amov
ing to those who know anything about
the persons invested with such high
sounding titles. The adventures of
Don Quixote on the Island of Barataria
embodied a staid and contained narra
tive compared to this side-splitting
farce. But it is said that the twaddle
was actually telegraphed up to San
Francisco, and at least one Los Angeles
newspaper printed the whole dull and
pointless tale. In the whole personnel
there is only one commanding figure.,
viz., Capt. J. F. Janes, of the City Front
Gazette. This noble tar of course can't
be whistled down the wind. His gizzard
is made of the right stuff, and the
Hkrai.i) happens to know that his rev
olutionary plans have not been devel
oped in anything like their majestic
contour in these stories. After cutting
out the Democrata, which exploit was
to be performed by Janes's own
snickershee, the captain, with a picked
crew of Tar Flat Jack tars, was to make
his way down the coast to Chilian
waters. Tlie capture of tlie Chilian
navy was to be accomplished in a flash,
and with the armor-clad vessels thus ob
tained, this dauntless general-admiral
and promulgator of the striped snood
was to plunge around the Horn, appear
in British waters, sink and disable the
English navy and declare the independ
ence of Ireland. This once accomplished,
Janes was to form an alliance with the
emperor of (iermany, conquer Russia
and liberate the Siberian exiles. All
these noble schemes have been nipped
in the bud by the premature publication
of the plans of the committee of fifteen.
It is a curious thing that, whenever
grass gets short in San Diego, a series of
highly sensational ami interesting tilings
is sure to happen in the immediate
vicinity of our charming neighbor.
Every leading ship-builder of the world
sends an agent there to agitate
the building of a line of steamers
to India. China, Kamschatka or some
other historical and treasure-burdened
spot, and railroads begin to spring up
with more alacrity than mushrooms
after a genial spring rain. Since Sedg
wick first surveyed the line for what was
afterwards the Texas l'acitic road on the
direct route to Yuma, at least 80-1,000
miles of railway have been built to San
Diego—on paper, or in your mind's eye,
so t» speak, and an amount of gold and
silver has been discovered just across
the Lower California line large enough
to fill all the available space in the
vaults of the banks of England and
Fiance, and so crowd the United States
treasury at Washington as to make the
secretary of the treasury fairly howl for
more additions to Uncle Sam's cash box.
Still, notwithstanding this enormous
inpouring of treasure, now and then a
man can be found in San Diego who
would be willing to accept a loan at a
low rate of interest.
Is the Herald discussing this matter
censoriously? Not at all. On the con
trary, we have the most intense admira
tion for the pluck, sand and fertility of
imagination of our neighbors. They
have always been a most resourceful
people, and if 'they occasionally indulge
in the amusement which Washington
living called "drawing the longbow,"
what harm does it do anyone? The
old law maxim of caveat emptor holds
just as much good sense as it did when
it was lirst invented. Any one who
can't admire the energy of the people of
San Diego lacks some wholesome con
stituent of blood and mind. From the
day when Horton was first seen wander
ing around the streets of San Francisco
with his tin horn, importuning the peo
ple to make their fortunes by buying a
lot in "Newtown," San Diego has pre
sented most interesting problems to
those who are endowed with any intel
lectual curiosity.
When it comes to town builders, there
was a model for you in Horton ! Now a
millionaire, and anon nearly broke,
Horton was to town builders what
Jacob Little was wont to be in the old
days to Wall street. They tell some
amusing stories of the founder of the
present nourishing city on the bay,
which was for a long time known as
"New" San Diego. People were rushing
to the new metropolis by the steamer
load. Many of them came from idle
curiosity, but some of them to buy. Ac
cording to the current narratives, Hor
ton would say to the possessor of shek
els something like this: "-Ah, you want
to buy a lot, do you. Come right along
with me." He would then take the in
vestor to a corner where there was a
nice looking house. The new comer
would at once conclude that the adjoin
ing lot was a likely speculation, and
would close the bargain. The next day
John the house mover would put in an
appearance, and the astonished pur
chaser would enjoy the spectacle of see
ing that elegant house moving off to
some other corner, to perform its profit
able office of stimulating sonic other
buyer.
It must not ho supposed, however,
that the investor necessarily failed to
come out ahead pecuniarily on account
of this interesting scheme. On the con
trary, many a man laid the foundation
of his fortune by buying property in San
Diego in those days. A very amusing
case in point is told by the early settlers
of the new town. In one of bis numer
ous trips to San Francisco Horton ac
costed Bancroft, of book fame, and boned
that worthy to buy some property in the
coming city. Bancroft tried to wriggle
out of it, but ineffectually. The man
who once had Horton's hand laid upon
him was beyond recourse. Finally a
brilliant idea seized Bancroft. "Look
here, Horton," said the man of letters,
"you are starting a city and you want, of
course, to give it a literary air. You
want a library. Now I'il tell what I'll
do. I'll trade you a library for a block."
This seemed to the Founder of Cities a
good notion, and he closed with it. Ban
croft then hied him round to Roman,
and asked that brother in the craft if he
had any unsalable books. Roman hap
pened to have a curious collection of old
patent-office reports, and other intensely
Interesting literature of that kind, and
the swap was made. Bancroft after
wards sold that block for $12,000. To
estimate the value of the books at one
hundred dollars would be to indulge in
reckless figures.
The Herald learns that it was part of
the agreement with Alvin Clark<s Sous,
of Boston, that the great [crystal for the
Spence Observatory on Wilson's Peak
was to be polished at Monrovia. It is
almost a certainty that the traction rail
way, spoken of in these columns some
days ago, will be built at an early date.
The travel to the summit of the moun
tain is increasing daily. With a railway
from Lake avenue in Pasadena to the
top of the Peak, there would be a big
daily rush to this romantic spot, where
the beauties of both heaven and earth
could be studied to great advantage.
Would such a railway pay? Undoubt
edly, and almost from the start. With
the biggest telescope in the world on top
of a mountain 5,(120 feet high, the rush
to get up there when the fatigues of a
mountain climb were not involved,
would be prodigious. Such a railway
would be the success of tlie day.
In an interview with one of our lead
ing produce commission merchants we
were assured that whilst he believed
thai the establishment of a public mar
ket in this city would be beneficial to
the commission business, he did not be
lieve it would be a success. The reason
he gave was that our people, unlike
eastern people, are not in the habit of
going even - morning to market and lay
ing in their daily supplies. They have
their regular purveyors and buy by
order, so that a great majority of house
keepers never go to market at all. Veg
etables are generally purchased at the
door from peddlers. Perhaps the very
reason why our housewives do not do
more marketing themselves is because
we have not a large public market where
the farmers and vegetable and fi uit grow
ers from the country can come and sell
their products at first hands from their
own wagons. There is no doubt in our
mind that a public market of the kind
contemplated would be very advanta
geous to the farmers, and if it would
bring them and our housekeepers to
gether, it would be of benefit to both
parties.
Mr. James Fulton, of Orange, was in
town yesterday, and he says that the
people of his locality are in fine spirits
at the evidences of recuperation shown
in the vineyards. The vines are all put
ting forth new wood, and present an
appearance of health and vigor that
leads them to believe that the myste
rious disease they have labored under
for several years has run its course. He
says that the seventy-acre vineyard of
Hager, which has yielded hardly any
grapes worth speaking of for two seasons,
is now looking fine, and gives promise of
a good crop. The same information
reaches us from Pomona and other parts.
It is very bracing news. The vine dis
ease was a very serious blow to this sec
tion, coming as it did at a time when our
orange trees were struggling with tlie
scale. To get rid of the scale and the
vine disease at the same time is some
thing we should feel very good about.
With normal grape and orange crops,
Los Angeles will come out with flying
colors.
