JT i ~~ ~ ——— THE GOLDEN EAGLE MARKET Grand Formal Reception and Opening Day MANY HANDSOME DISPLAYS All Stalls and Stands Arrayed in ; Gala Attire A Few of the Good Things Kept in Stock The Wants of All Can Bi Supplied The tendency to speak by comparisons is in no wise abated by the proverb tint "comparisons are odious/ But in tho case of The Morgan Oyster Company's Golden Eagle market it is partly restricted from lack of material with which it could be legitimately instituted, and partly dis pensed with as being unnecessary. This market undoubtedly possesses a great many points of excellence, which aro peculiar to itself, and in which it stands pre-eminent. Such at least is the impres sion produced by an examination of the magnificent display shown in iis spacious stalls. The proportions of the hall and the gen eral arrangements made for the conven ient transfer of the vast variety of articles kept in this, as in all first-class markets, is all that could be desired. The arrange ments for light, heat and ventilation are perfect, and, in fact, everything pertaining j to the market is in line with tho latest modern improvements applicable to build ings of tiiis class. The establishment is indeed a credit to the city, and a just source of pleasurable satisfaction to its designer, and it is un doubtedly abreast of anything of the kind to be found on this coast or in this country. Yesterday was a formal reception or opening day at the market, and tho dis- ' play made by the handsomely decorated I stalls, filled with tempting delicacies and I articles of diet of every conceivable class j and description, was superb. The effect of electric light upon the i scene was to render it a vision of enchant ment that beggars description, and which one must heboid in order to form an idea of its magnificence. This market was designed and built by the Morgan OyatorCo np tiiy, and was tin iahedonlya few weeks ago. It extends from 329 to 333 South Main street, and comprises the entile first floor of tho build ing in which it is located. the northern pan of the market is occu pied by the Morgan Oyster Company, of which Mr. O. C Mor an is manager. I'liey are wholesale and retail dealers in fish, game, poultry, oys'ers, and all kinds of I shell fish, and packers of ihe celebrated Eagle brand of fresh frosen oysters. Their office, enclosed by glass partition, is iv the northeast corner ot the building, and they require all the space of stalls numbers 1 to !i, inclusive, for the display and cue of the very complete assortment of market goods they curry. West of tiie office are the sta Is for live aud dressed fowl.-, aud poultry, and the allowing of at poultry contained therein will make many rejoice that Christmas aud New Year's day are so near .ii hand, so they can have two feasts, from which v is safe to predict that specimens of ihe too h some fowds there shown will not be miss ing. Just west of tho poultry department are the stalls for fresh fish, oysters and dressed game, and in the northern part of the same are placed the cold storage, vau ts, manu factured for the Morgan Oyster company hy the Gitrney ltefri/erator company of San Kranei«co. There the oysters, fresh lish and dressed game used in <his depart' nient are kept. On the marble top coun ters of the department stand cans of fresh oysters on ice, and ou the walls of the C"ld storage rooms are shown mammoth shells of the celebrated X igle hi'and of oyslors,of which the company makws a. specialty. One in particular, marked "Our size," was the subject of much comment. It ia almost superfluous to say that everything shown iv the stalls of this com pany is strictly first class. Nothing that fails to reach this s'audard is allowed a place in them, and this is rue of every de partment and establishment which na* a place in the entire market. Ihe. policy of all the manager! being to cater to that cll.tss of trade which deman Is the very best. It would seem, however, that the principle of keeping the best is not incon sistent with the existence of reasonable prices Indeed some of the prices quoted were remarkably low. FRUITS AMD VEGETABLES. At the front aud central entrance to the market is found the stand of Mr. I'age Richardson, He handles fruits, nuts and vegetables of all kinds, and with him the delivering of choice, assortments of fruits at short notice is a specialty. His stand was handsomely decorated, and constitutes one of the most strikingly unique figures one of,en sees. There is nothing iv the Chamber of Com merce exhibition that compares with it, and one racks his recollections of the fruit exhibits of agricultural and slate fairs in a vain attempt to find anything that, for artistic beauty of finish and originality of design, in any way resembles it. Tho stand consists of a quadrangular pyramid whose faces are concave sunaces instead of planes, and which rests on an enlarged base that would ne of the figure of a parallelogram if the lines joining the vertices of the angles were straight, but, as they are curves, it is difficult 10 name the geometrical Qgute which would describe it. One thing, however, may be assorted, and that is that the general effect of the figure was striking. The potted plants and carnations which crowned the top of the pyramid, and the rich, red fruits which covered its faces, together with the smilax around its bonier, and the luxuriant palms at ttie corners of its has*, made up a picture which those who looked upon it w ill not so; 11 forget. .Mr. Richardson, though not an architect or a carpenter, designed and constructed the stand bims ilf, Aud lie can be coti gratulated upon this happy product of nil mKill. Too ex llama-lions of admiration which it elicited were numerous. FMXBH AND SALT ME-.TS In the southeast corner of the market, stalls number and lit), occupied by J. 11. Barvat, with a complete line of fresh and salt meats, made a creditable display. The marble-top counters and bard wood flni.h of chopping blocks and everything else iv this establishment emphasized the, idea that only first-class materials were to be used, and only first-ciass goods to lie kept in this market. Mr. Harvat oaiue to this city from Liv ingston, Montana. IJ« was engaged in the meat business there with fair success, but la,t Viay ho deeded lo come further west, and after spending about six months trav eling over tins western slope and inspect ing the principal cities of the same, lie seioc ed Los V.geles as bong the city which presented the most promising out look for business and located here.

KRENi H DELICACIES The French delicacy stalls of Jean Del hastes come next, and the display of tooth some and tempting edibles contained therein caused many of those who attended the opening day to accord it the palm of being the favorite stall of the market. city or nEsr.iN In the central portion of the market is located the aggregate collection of stalls and stands which bear the designation of the "City of Berlin."' The?' are presided over by Chester W. Thompson, who is the sole proprieior of lhat establishment, and who carries a stock which embraces every description of cheese, besides a variety of pickles, olives, horse radishes, mustards, catsups, im ported sausages, butter, eggs, ham and bacon. I With it ail he ni<ikes a very handsome j display. Situated inside the walls of the "City of ! Berlin are the stalls of THS K.F.Y6TONE PRODUCE COMPANY. Here butter, eggs and cheese are sold in wholesale lots, and Mr. Thompson ar- Iranges1 ranges the terms of the same in his ca pacity as manager of the company. Mr. Thompson, by the way, is .» late ad dition to ths San Diego colony which has found i's way to this city within the last I twelve months.

BOOM IN SOUTHERN MINES Editor Edelsten Tells of South ern California Riches NEW MILLS BEINQ ERECTED Ledges that Miners Overlooked Fifteen Years Ago This City Is Rapidly Becoming the lining Headquarters for the Southern Por tion ol the State San Francisco Call: F. W. Edelsten, editor of the Los Angeles Mining Bureau, who is up on a visit, talks interestingly of the raining situation in Southern Califor nia. He said yesterday: All the biggest mines in Southern Cali fornia were overlooked twelve or fifteen years ago, through the fact that at that time the silver, lead and copper mines were more certain and attractive to capital than low-grade gold mines. It was impossible to interest capital in mines containing from $4 to $3 in gold ndien silver mines ah over the West could be obtained running from $60 par ton and up in silver. And there were many disadvantages years ago connected with mining in Sou 1 hern Cali fornia, such as high transportation, high price of living, expensive labor, scarcity of water, danger from Indians in Arizona.and in many cases even w here was of sufficient value to be worked, it was of such a rebel lious nature that no process was known with which to work it. But now everything is changed; we have different processes, such as cyanide, chlor ination and many other processes by which every class of ore can be profitably worked, provided there is sufficient value for economic working. We now have railroads, good labor at a reasonable price, living is as cheap as any where in the United Slates. Water has been discovered in various places, and the fact that lead, sib-er and copoer have fall en to such a low price has driven all tho miners who formerly operated silver, cop per and lead mines into gold mining, and as ali the high-grade gold mines in the mother lode and other sections of the west are held at prices at which only capitalists of the largest means can own and operate them, has brought tho low-grade gold mines to the front. We now have in Southern California the largest gold mill under one roof in the state. The mine nn which this mill is working, the Gold Cross, located at Hedges, San Diego county, was examined at differ-, ent times by mining experts, but declared too lon grade to be profitably operated. The present company is milling over 1100 tons iwr day of ore mat yields to the stock hohlers a handseme prollt over and above Working exponstts. They have two pipe lines running from the Colorado river, thir teen miles, which furnish the mill aud cam:; with an ample supply of good water. There are several other strong com panies investigating the tremendous ledges in tiie vicinity of the Gold Cross, and within twelve months we expect to sco more mills in operation, as the supply of ore is inexhaustible and free milling. In the Penis tlistrict, ltiverside county, are located some mines that are making good records, the most prominent among them br ing tho Santa Rosa. This mine was purchased about twelve months ago by some Colorado men from ex-Governor Blaisdell. The main shaft was then 'J2o feet deep with but little development work done. The company immediately erected a ten stamp mill and commenced development in a systematic way. They soon found a ten-stamp mill inade quate to handle the output of the mine, and last month commenced the erection of ten new stamps. The new mill started to drop the stamps December 'J'nh and was a success In every way. A contract has been let to sink the main shaft 1000 feet. The boiler was changed two months ago to use oil, which is broucht from Los Angeles in tank cars, the consumption being about 800 gallons per day. The Santa Rosa is without question one of the mest promising mines in the state. The proprietors of another prominent mine in he same district, the Good Hope, are working their twenty-stamp mill on pay ore, mest of which is taken out by les sees, the company having found it more profitable to lease to the miners than to pay them re- ular wages. Several mills are in course of construc tion in this district, from which good re ports will be heard. The big Knglish grant is located but a rshort distance from the Santa liosa mine, and is being thoroughly investigated by H. B. Vercoe, who is the representative of the London syndicate owning the g ant. He has in contemplation the erection of a large stamp mill in the spring. He has just fin ished a mill run ef fifty tons of ore, taktn from Ills different discoveries, and they have been so satisfactory that the mill will undoubtedly be built. , Los Angeles is fast becoming the head ' quarters for the mining industry of the southwest. We now have Aye well equipped assay offices, where reliable as says can he obtained, and one complete siamp mill in operation within ten min utes' ride of the center of the city, where any sized samples can ha run to determine the best methotls to work ores. There is little doubt but that the next three months will see a smelter in a fair way to be completed in Los Angeles, The advantages of l.os Angeles as a smelting point cannot be too highly spok en ef. All of Lower California, where rich dis coveries are being made every month, is tributary o the city. AH the ore on tho west coast of Mexico.much of which is now ■hipped to Kurope, would be sent up on vessels for about one-fifth the freight paid to European points. Wester , Arizona is full of mines that are now lying idle that would be worked if a good home market were afforded for the output. The oil industry was never in a more flourishing condition than at present. The oil formation is better understood now than ever before, and fewer failures are be ing made in sinking for oil than formerly, when wells were sunk outside of the belt through ignorance en the part of operators. Mr. Edelraen states, in conclusion, that in spite of the big boom in -"outh African mines and the wildcat stories written about the fabulous wealth of the Cripplo Creek mines, the climatic and other favorable in fluences of Southern California will within five years make it the most profitable country in the world in which to mlno.

OIL INDUSTRY EXTENDING A Wealthy Syndicate Will Prospect at San Pedro Orillinf at San Diego - Arrival ol New Tank Car* tor the Southern Paclllc Items From the Field. An oil syndicate has been formed for the purpose of prospecting at Sah Pedro. There are a number of capitalists inter ested in the project and it is their intention to investigate the territory along the coast with a view to determining the extent of the belt already known to exist in that locality, It is well known that oil abounds in the vicinity of Rsdondo, as it floats on the surface of the water for mileß along the water front. The new company has decided to locate the main belt if possible and for that purpose have put up a rig about half a mile from the shore at an de votion of 300 feet. The location was made by one of the best experts from the local Held who pronounces the outlook to be very encouraging. Over '2000 acres have been aacurad by the company and if the first trial turns out successfully an ex tensive oil rvgion will be devoloped. A couple or gentlemen from San Diego have been looking over the oil held during the past week to study tho methods em ployed in drilling here and to get a general view of the business. They have purchased two rigs, one of which has been shipped to that city and is now being operated there. The other will be sent down within the next few days, when active drilling will commence. Iha San Diegoans think they have good indications of oil in their part of the country and they intend to develop it. Rex well No. 4 is now down OOP feet and will be furnisnad with the pump in a day or two. The drillers at the Cole rfc Hummiston well on Belmont avenue are nearing the sand. The tubing ia being lowered in Lehman & Mills well on Toluca street, which will be pumping shortly. The well on West State and Toluca streets if down 500 feet' Parker A Morrill's pumping plant has ! suspended action while the boiler is being ! repaired. i The oil sand was reached in the Hummel well, on Park Place, at a depth of 700 feet. Well No. 3 of the Hoffman A Weller Co. j was completed Saturday, and is now pump lag a heavy stream of oil. A new derrick is being erected en an adjoining lot, where another well will soon be drilled. The Loma company's well at the corner! of Temple and Vigueroa streets was started to> pumping yeaterday. A new der rick has just boon built by the same com pany on Angelina street, near Figueroa. Anothsr large tank is being finished at the Green well, above Helmont avenue. Two cars of oil were shipped north by the exchange yesterday. Others will fol low as aeon as cars can he secured. The Southern Pacific will put six'y addi tional oil oars on thair line within the next few weeks. Several have already arrived, and they are of the latest model, with four inch exit gates and steam heating apparat us for us* in cold weather. A Sudden Death H. V. Bundrem, father of H.J. Bundrem, [ late of the Santa Ke city office, suddenly ! died while standing en the station platform 1 at Needles an Sunday morning. Me suf fered from a severe stomach trouble on the previous sight, and this, by friends, is con nected with the sad occurrence. The de c-ased gentleman was returning to his heme in Emporia, Kansas, after a few weeks' stay in Lea Angeles, during which time he attended the wedding ceremony of bis son. It is an unexpected blow to the young man and his bride. The remains were forwarded to Emporia, for which place Mr. H. J. Bundrem started yester day morning.

In 1802 1023 marriage licenses were issued. In I*lo3 the number jumped up to 1201. In 18114 thorn was a slump, so to apeak, and the tot .1 for that year only shows an increase of 50, the total being 1251. In 1895 there was a revival, and last evening, as above stand, 1-101 licenses had been recorded.
