I'AS.\D|.;NA, April 20.—The high
school bond question was discussed at
length tt the regular meeting- of the
lni'ii'.s brotherhood of the First Meth-
Odlst church last night. Two hundrod
members mid friends wore present. Su
perintendent Hamilton of the public
Itihooll, D. J- Mcl'horson of tho board
of education, Dr. Matt B. Hughes Of
(hi! FIIW Methodist church and Dr.
James A. B. Seherer of Throop polytech
nic: Institute spoke in the order named.
The high school orohestra and the high
school quartet rendered music
Superintendent Hamilton said that ho
does not consider tho voting of $500
-0-000 bonds for a polytechnic high BOhl 1
M 'Uring- a shot that will M beard
around the world," but rather as pro
viding facilities for teaching the chll
ilnn to do the necesßary things of life.
"Every voter has a duty to perform in
voting: for the bonds," he .said, and be
dwelt at length on the crowded condi
tion of the present high school. "Wo
cannot agree, on all things," be assert
ed, but there is one thing on which
■uc must agree and that is that our
children are a vaiuabio UMt to the
country and must be taken care of."
Hfl spoke of the advantages of a poly
tecnta courts und on the question of the.
Kite selected he said, 'You might feel
tluit some other location might have
elected Of that this or that might
have been done, but tho question was
thoroughly considered In nil its phase*
iiiul when tho board nsks for a sum of
money tho voters should consider that
returns from money spent on schools
art not vlsiblo In dollars and cents, but
that '.ho. investment will pay dividends
to Pasadena with compound interest
tor all time to come in many ways."
It. J. McPherson spoke of the advan
tages of a polytechnic course and gave
■ome details upon tho question of taxa
tion. "The territory In this district
outside of Pasadena proper," he said,
much larger than that included in
th* city limits, as it includes Lamanda
Park, Altadena and Linda Vista. This
outside territory Is growing rapidly
and by the time the bond issue comes.
dm- the assessed valuation will be sev
eral tlmos larger, thus reducing th»
taxation. The first year will be the
hardest when the tax will be five cents
on each dollar of assessed valuation."
Dr. Matt S. Hughes stated that he
was surprised to discover that there is
,i decided opposition in some quarters
to voting tho bonds. "X will speak from
the standpoint of a citizen," he said,
"I don't know all about the opposition,
'.■lit I heard one man say that the
board propose! to buy too much land.
1 cui't understand how anyone can
•ay that Investment In Pasadena land
is not a good thing-."
President Seherer said: "There are
two distinct questions Involved, busi
ness und educational. The business side
been discussed and I will dwell on
the educational side. I do not believe
in ii high school for languages and cul
ture alone, nor for manual training
alon^. We want a school that will
train both the hands and head. Some
o( our people must be bread winners
ire wanl to make them the best
workers through proper training in
school. The use of the square and
plumb helps to make better citizens.
Throop welcomes with open arms tho
new polytechnic high school."

on Their Relative
SAN BERNARDINO, April 19.—
While defending himself against the
attack of the brother of the girl to
whom he is engaged, C. A. Bailey last
night stabbed iind seriously wounded
1... Hughes. Bailey is in the city jail
charged with assault with a deadly
weapon, and Hughes lies at his home
with nine knife thrusts in his body.
The encounter between the two young
men, both of whom are machinist ap
prentices at the Santa Fe shops, fol
lowed the visit of Bailey at the Hughes
home. Hughes' mother is said to ap
prove of the match, but her son did not
approve of Bailey. Before leaving the
Hughes home Bailey told both his
fiancee, who Is ill in bed, and her moth
er, that he would defend himself if
he was accosted by Hughes.
It Is alleged that Hughes followed
Bailey for several hundred feet and
then attacked him. Both the injured :
man's mother and sister defend Bailey. ;
The police found Hughes exhausted
from loss of blood and took him to
Ml home. Bailey was later arrested,
but will probably be released.

From Mines and Oil Fields
TELLS OF VALUABLE
MINERAL DEPOSITS
Bulletin of Geological Survey De
scribes New Camps in
Nevada Districts
ASPHALTITE FIELD REPORTED
Material Is Much Lighter Than
Coal. Which It Resembles,
and Indicates Oil
[Associated Press]
WASHINGTON, April 20.— The In
creasing Interest in the mineral pro
ducts of the western states, especially
those lying' In or west of what may be
I broadly termed the Hocky mountain re
! gion, Is reflected in the large measure
of attention given to that region by
the geological survey, which for several
years has issued, under the title "Con
tributions to Economic Geology," an
nual volumes devoted largely to the
mineral resources of that part of the
country.
The latest volume of this series (Bul
letin 380) contains a number of valu
able papers, discussing gold, silver,
cement and iron in Colorado; K"1<1. si'
ver, copper and asphaltile in Nevada;
gold and silver in Oregon; lead, zinc
and Iron in New Mexico; wolframite
and marble in Arizona; and other less
er deposits.
Tho revival of interest in Nevada in
gold and sliver mines, brought about
by the discoveries at Goldfield, has led
to the development of other districts,
two of which are discussed in the bul
letin.
NEW CAMrS DESCRIBED
Tho town of Hornsilver, which lies
in Esmeralda county, twenty-six miles
southwest of Goldfleld, is described as
1 a promising camp, though when It whs
| visited only one mine had been devel
oped far enough to ship ore. One or
two neighboring mines that were
worked forty years ago, but were aban
doned on account of transportation
difficulties, have now been reopened.
Round Mountain, another camp de
scribed, lies forty-five miles north of
Tonopah. Only one mine was exam
ined in detail, and this was found to
carry oxidized ore averaging $10 to $l. r j
to the ton. The dirt at the foot of ths
south stope of Round Mountain was
being washed by hydraulic power with
good results.
A large number of promising copper
mines have been opened at Yerlngton,
in Lyon county, Novada. They all lie
in the Slngatso ridge, close to the town,
and arc strung out in a chain two miles
long.
Most of them have shipped some ox
idized copper ore, but operations are
now confined to the sulphurized ores.
Some of them are old mines.
ASFIIAX,TITE DEPOSITS DESCRIBED
The asphaltite deposits of northern
Nevada are also described. The mate
rial closely resembles a deposit in
Oklahoma which has been fully ex
amined. It looks much like coal, but it
is -nuch lighter in weight. These de
posits probably cover a wide area, but
have not been fully explored as yet.
Their existence shows there was once
much petroleum in the region, but this
probably escaped long ago, owing to
the shattering of the rocks by geologic
disturbances.
Western Oregon has produced con
siderable gold and silver in past years,
but the bulletin describes only the Bo
hemia and Cracker creek districts, In
which comparatively little work is now
!in progress. The Bohemia district,
1 where mlnlnp has been done for years,
] has produced perhaps $400,000, mainly
In free gold. Prospecting in the region
is carried on rather vigorously, and it
is reasonable to suppose that other
workable deposits will sooner or later
be discovered, despite the dense mass
of vegetation that conceals them. The
Cracker creek district, In the Blue
mountain gold ■ belt, lies across the
famous "mother lode." Only one mine
was producing at the time it was visit
ed, but it was expected that others
would soon begin production.
NEW MEXICO MINES
The lead deposits at Tres Hermanns,
in southern New Mexico, have been
known for many years and have yield
ed about $200,000 worth of metal. In
1904 zinc was discovered In this dls
, trict, and ! shipments were made to
smelters. There are also indications
of copper in this region.
The mines of the Hanover district,
'in Grant county, New Mexico, have
yielded over a million tons of iron In
the ten years since they were opened.
Both hard and soft ores have been
extensively worked, but the principal
ore is magnetite. The output of the
•district is steadily increasing year by
year.
Wolframite Is an ore of tungsten
and is valuable In proportion to its
rarity. The deposits in Arizona are in
Cochise county. Those that have been
found have been pretty well worked
out, but others probably exist. The
ores lie in granite near its contact with
I schist and in a quartz vein that tra
verses the granite.
Arizona contains valuable marble
deposits, which are located in Cochise
county 'in the Chiricahua mountains.
The marble lies in thick zones in the
limestone strata and is widely distrib
uted. One claim includes a ledge sev
enty-flve feet thick and 250 miles long,
containing marble that is free from
defects. The material is well fitted for
interior decorative work and for gen
eral architectural uses.

ration. Meanwhile' copies of the last
volume (Bulletin 380) may be obtained

STORAGE OF OIL
IN STEEL TANKS
Plan Decided Upon by the Pro
ducers' Transportation Co.
Capacity 55,000 Bbls.
OniiiK to a sharp decline In tl'e price
of steel plate the? Producers' Transpor
tation company has abandoned its plan
to build concrete reservoirs fox* fitur
affe purposes at Santa Margarita and
will erect a scries of 55,000 barrel tanks
instead. The advantage of steel Uir.ks
is derived from the fact that they can
be knocked down and removed, v/lieie-
M a concrete reservoir Is a per mam nt
fixture and when abandoned ii a to
tal loss.
The Producer! 1 Transportatlr i com
pany, according; to advices tr<n\ Ba
kersfleld, will erect a tankage tor at
ipast 1,000,000 barrels of oil at Santa
Margarita to serve tho market; pur-
Of Insuring such an al undant
supply along the coast line th Lit, ru
gardleai or interruption on th trunk
line or the lateral feeders in tl o val
lfy, there will always be enoug -\ oil ■>';
hand to load Kteamprs and to guarantee
a .•■'toady fulfillment of the contracts
made with consumers.
A new storage company with' the ex
press purpose of taking care of the
surplus oil of the agency members
is contemplated for the near future.
There is'every probability that it. will
also select Santa Margarita as tha
most favorable site for tank.-igo, al
though no statement has been (riven
out regarding? it. The facts which
warrant the Producers' in choosing
steel Instead of concrete will In all
probability clet. rmine the character of
the tankage to be erected by the
agency.
Siuiui Margarita is considered the
ideal spot for reservoir sites for sev
eral reasons. It is between twenty and
twenty-five miles aa the pipe line run.
from Port Harford and is on muca
higher ground, being at the head of
thn Salinas valley. It is thus beyond
the reach of the guns of the hostile
fleets in case the coaßt should ba at
tacked in time of war and Ha elev Ir
tlon makes quick transportation in
easy matter.
At the same time Santa Murgaritn.
la virtually at the far end of the plp«
line and the oil that reaches that point
has gone through the greatest efforts
encountered In being delivered from
the valley to the sea. Another advan
tage the place enjoys is the compara
tively cool climate, which will caun
li's.s evaporation than the climate of
tht- western deserts of the San Joaquin
valley. For a short time during tho
summer the days are very warm at
Santa Margarita, but at all tirrus dur
ing the year the nights are co>l anil
whatever heat might accumulate In the
nil during tlv day would be lost dur
ing the longer hours of the night.
CHILDREN OF RICH SPEND
$900 A YEAR ON DRESS
Clothes of Working Girls Average
Only $78.25 Per Annum
NEW YORK, April 19.—School girls
of New York's wealthy families, who
are of the socially elect, spend an av
erage of $900 a year for dress and
would like to spend 13500.
Girls of families perhaps equally
wealthy, but without social distinc
tion, spend an average of $300 and
would like to spend $1100.
These interesting statistics are an
nounced by the Academy of Political
Science, an adjunct of Columbia uni
versity, as the result of studies by Miss
Inez Wood, formerly dean of th.< Wom
an's college of the University of Wash
ington at Seattle.
Silk stockings at $2 a pair street
suits at $50 each, hand embi >idered
lingerie and similar articles go t > make
up the $900 spent. Huts at $1
shoes at $7, street suits at $96 find
evening gowns at $100 are w :\ th»
socially elect girls desire, sh- said,
while the girls of minor social posi
tion get along with garments of < heap
er quality, although both the elect and
outsiders drive to school daily in auto
mobiles.
In contrast ICtM Wood cites flirures
showing that working girls mauago to
dress on an average of $78.2. r > a year
