COUNCIL REFUSES TO
ENGAGE ITALIAN BAND
Residents Petition for Employ
ment of Home Musicians for
Sunday Concerts
PASADENA, Nov. 16.—The city
council yesterday with a vote of five
to two turned down the recommenda
tion of the city commissioners, to em
ploy Gregory's Italian band for a series
of thirty-two concerts at $83 each. The
action followed a protest in favor of
hiring the home band. Friends of the
local musicians have arranged to place
numerous petitions in circulation today
requesting the commissioners to re
consider their action. The petitions
read as follows:
"The undersigned, residents and tax
payers of Pasadena, request that your
honorable body reconsider your action
regarding public band concerts and
recommend the employment of the ■
Crown City band, a home Institution,
composed principally of Pasadena tax
payers, hereby encouraging the 'trade i
at home' idea, the playing of the local
band at last winter's concerts having
been satisfactory and their bid for the
proposed concerts this winter having
been the lowest submitted."
When the recommendation of the i
commissioners in favor of Gregory's
band was presented yesterday to the
council It failed to receive a favorable
motion until Councilman Hotaling
moved to concur in the recommenda
tion with the explanation that he
favors the home bard, but thought the
commissioners should not be ignored.
Councilman Cattel seconded the mo
tion with the statement that he would
vote against It because he believes
there Is no demand for band concerts
and the taxpayers' money should not
be spent for something which only a
few people want.
Barnes voted no, stating that h«
favors the local band. Mersereau vot
ed no with the declaration that he is
opposed to the proposed Sunday con
certs. Fogg voted to support the com
missioners. Korsti'in shouted "no" and
declared he Is once and for all in favor
of home talent. Root registered a neg
ative vote with no explanation.
The matter reverts back to the citj
commissioners to decide whether the
local band will be recommended or
whether Pasadena shall go without
concerts this winter. It is said by
those fathering the petitions that
enough signatures will be procured to
warrant the commissioners reversing
their former action with good grace.

YOUTH GIVES VERSION
OF ROBBER GANG'S DEEDS
SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 15.—1n a
further confession to the sheriff today
Hugh Stephenson, the 17-year-old boy
implicated with the alleged cang of
robbers arrested yesterday, says, ac
cording to the officers, that he assisted
In counting the money stolen from the
Highland bank, but denies that he as
sisted In any way in the holdup. How
ard, who young Stephenson says en
tered the bank and forced the cashier
to give up the money, left $600 with the
Gamble family, according to the offi
cers, and despite the denials of the en
tire crowd, it is the belief of the sheriff
that ut least one of the Gambles, of
whom there ara four In jail, assisted
Howard. Young Stephenson says that
he did not participate in the burglary
of the San Bernardino hardware store.
He admits, however, assitsing in the
robbery of the Ames clothing store, the
Colton hardware stt»re and the Cullen
shoe store.
Close acquaintances of the youths
now In jail claim that Howard was a
hypnotist, and that he exercised his
influence over the lads, who had never
before committed a crime.

HIGH TIDES ARE AGAIN
MENACING LONG BEACH
Residents Busy Building Dykes to
Protect Property—Damage
Is Averted
LONG BEACH. Nov. 16.—The tides I
are exceptionally high again this week,
but the absence of ground swells avert- |
ed any notable damage today. Promrt
work late last night In building a tem
-1 porary retaining wall of planks along
the cement walk south of the South j
Sea apartments kept the walk from j
j being carried out, but the outermost]
' section of concrete became loose, being
separated from the rest of the walk
by a wide crack. This afternoon the
.work of jettying down sheet piling to ;
protect the walk and the buildings back
of it was begun.
The city authorities today put sand- I
bag dykes at the foot of Mermaid place,
Neptune place and Golden avenue, to
protect the streets from further dam- j
age. Private property owners rebuilt j
I the fallen dyke at the foot of Maine j
j way, so that adjoining property, as .
well as the street, would be protected.
A vacant lot just east of the ocean
front home of H. A. Getz, a Los An
geles tailor, has not been protected by
the owner since the first high tide ot"
the year, and as a result a lot of sand
close to the Ge.z residence was washed
, out this morning, leaving a threaten
ing hole which demanded atentlon at
once.
At 7:30 this morning the tide mea
sured 6 feet 5 Inches. Tomorrow morn
ing at 8:13 It will be 6 feet 8 inches
high; Thursday at 8:50 a. m. it will be
7 feet, and Friday morning at 10:09 it
will be 6 feet 7 Inches. About the
middle of December the highest tides
, of the whole year will be seen, some of
them going several Inches above seven
feet. If ground swells accompany these
tides serious damage is feared.

AFTER FIERCE STRUGGLE
MAN IS CUT AND ROBBED
Teamster Held Up Within Ten
Feet of His Home
Following a desperate struggle with
a highwayman who menaced him with
a large hunting knife, Richard Hall,
24 years old, a teamster, was slashed
] on his left hand and robbed of $6 with-
I in ten feet of his home at 2314 Lo
Grand street last night.
Hall was on his way home last night
and had almost reached his front gate
, when a man stepped in front of him,
held a knife at his throat and com- .
manded him to hand over his money. I
Instead of obeying, Hall grappled with
the bandit and engaged in such a des
perate struggle that he forgot to call
for help. The men battled In silence
j for several minutes. Finally Hall
i seized the weapon and was trying to
; wrench it from the grasp of the rob
ber when his hand slipped and the
. keen blade tore through his hand. The ,
1 bandit then choked the victim into sub- |
' mission and took a $5 goldpiece from
his pocket.
When the robber ran Hall hurried
into his house and made an effort to
■tauncta the flow of blood. He was un- '
successful and went to the receiving
hospital, where the police surgeons
stitched the laceration and notified the
detectives.
Hall was unable to give a good de
| scription of his assailant.
HEAVY HAT BREAKS FORCE
OF SLASH WITH RAZOR
A heavy hat brim and a first aid to
the injured bandage probably saved
the life of Jose Carmona, 24 years old,
living at 2427 Enterprise street, who
j was slashed with a razor wielded by
Espino Mata in front of a saloon at
[ Seventh street and Santa Fe avenue
last night.
The victim was wearing a heavy hat
and the razor struck the brim and
ploughed through the left ear to a
point two inches beneath the chin, the
hat breaking much of the force of the
blow. A patrolman with a first aid to
the injured package appeared, ban
daged the wound and staunched the
flow of blood which was pouring from
a severed blood vessel.

SENSATIONAL STRIKES
STIR PARKER PEOPLE
Picture Rock* Running into Thou
sands of Dollars a Ton. Is
Accidentally Discovered
I —
PARKER, Ariz., Nov. IB.—Recent de
velopment work on the property of
the Golden State Mining company, lo
cated In the Whlpple Wash, near Par
ker, has resulted in most sensational
discoveries. A short time ago, Charles
Adams, who has charge of the pros
pect work for the company, found
pieces of float Lhat 'vere practically
I "lousy" with gold. This float was
picked up near the bottom of a precip
itous mountain. After systematical
ly prospecting the ground an outcrop
of rich gold-bearing rock was found
near the apex of the mountain, where
Indications pointed as being the place
from which the float originally came.
Right from the surface the rock
proved exceedingly rich In the yellow
metal and eleven sacks of ore, assay
ing $725.60 were taken out In less than
six feet. At the bottom of this shal- I
low working the high-grade streak is
about twelve inches in width and from
last reports the values are maintain
ing the same high average previously
recorded.
Another vein recently discovered on
this i roperty, averaging from six to
eight feet in width, shows assay val
ues of $57.20 a ton. It Is on this vein
that the company will do its principal
development work, although work Is
to be continued on the rich streak of
ore that has just been opened and from
which a shipment of high-grade ore Is
now being taken out. There is still
another strong ledge cutting through
the property, having an average width
of four feet. Careful sampling of this
vein at the surface shows assay val
ues of $19 a ton.
Mr. Adams came In from the prop
erty Sunday night and on his way
from camp accidentally, discovered a
promising looking outcrop some dis
tance from the place where the rich
ore Is being taken out. He knocked
j off a small sample an<J after his ar
rival here made a horning of the rock.
Gold as large as wheat kernels showed
In the pan after washing down, and It
is said the value of the rock is in the
thousands of dollars a ton. On his re
turn Mr. Adams will further develop
this. latest discovery and ascertain Its
extent.
The exploitation of the Golden State
company in the Whipple Wash country
is beginning to attract considerable at
i tentlon. A small mill is to be installed
on the property at an early date. A
spring located on the claims supplies
sufficient water for milling purposes.
Returns Just received from a recent
shipment of a carload of the average
grade of copper ore, Just as it Is being
mined at the Wardwell-Oetforne prop
erty has demonstrated that the ore
will stand shipping and net the owners
a substantial profit. According to the
smelter returns the Initial carload sent
by the company netted approximately
$500 above mining, transportation and
i smelter charges.
Mr Osborne said a higher grade of
i ore would be shipped in the next few
' carloads, averaging around 24 per cent
1 copper, together with about $S in gold
; values. An effort will be made to ship
at least three carloads of the above
grade during the present month. Ad
ditional ore-hauling facilities are now
being arranged for and within a short
time the ore will begin to move rap
idly.
John Sanborn is making preparations
to ship approximately 1000 tons of cop
per ore from his property In the Riv
erside mountains. This amount is al
ready on the dump and only awaits
hauling to Calzona, a distance of eight
! milos. The ore, It Is claimed, will be
shipped to Humboldt.
The Sanborn property is among the
best known In the Riverside section
and the product Is of sufficient valuo
to net the owner an ample profit. The
new freight rates that have recently
gone into effect permits the mine op
erator In this section to get his ore to
the smelter for a reasonable amount a
ton, the rate from Calzona being $2.50
a ton for ore runnir.s between $15 and
$£5 a ton.
Both the Calzona Mines company and
the Steece Copper company will soon
be sending out regular shipments.
With three shippers In the Riversides
the mining industry will be flourish
ing in that section before the flrat of
the year. • ....
A 15-horsepower hoist has arrived for
the Steece Copper company and Is now
being installed. The shaft on the lower
j tunnel level is to be sunk from the
110-foot point, where ore running from
$200 to $400 was encountered last spring.
About twenty men are now employed
at this property.
DOHENY MAKES EXTENSIVE
IMPROVEMENTS IN SOUTH
The E. L. Doheny Oil. Gas and As
phalt company is expending between
$2,000,000 and $2,500,000 in improvements
and extensions.
Seventy miles of railway connecting
places at which the companies are op
erating will be built, the oil storage
capacity increased from 600,000 barrels
to 4,000,000 and twenty-two miles of
pipe line added to that now in use.
Pipe for this purpose is on the ground.
The Huasteca Petroleum company
has arranged for the shipment and sale
of 2,000,000 barrels of oil as rapidly as
it can be delivered.
The company has been building 56,
--000-barrel storage tanks at the rate or
one every ten days. It will increise
construction forces so as to complete
tanks at the rate of five a month.
Sixty oil tank cars of the latest
model, with a capacity of 12,200 barrels

KERN COUNTY OUTPUT
DECREASED IN OCTOBER
BAKERSFIELD, Nov. 15.—The
Kern county oil fields as a whole were
off 653,344 barrels last month as com
pared to September. The whole West
Side shows a decrease, the most sen
sational being that of Midway, which
produced nearly 500,000 barrels less
than at the previous computation.
Sunset shows a decrease of 180,860
barrels, and old Kern River held up
to Its mark and went beyond by near
ly 1000 barrelß a day, 28,860 being the
productioin for the month.
This noticeable falling off Is due to
tho reduction of the big wells, to a
cessation of development work and
the shutting in of wells on the pro
ducing list wherever possible.

SURVEYOR GEOLOGIST WILL
MAP SAN JOAQUIN FIELDS
California is to have a complete topo
graphical map of the San Joaquin oil
region, for the first time In its histo
ry. A3 soon as an expedition, headed
by T. G. Gerdine of the United States
geological survey office returns, plats
will be made of all the district around
and adjacent to the oil region. It Is
thought they will be of the greatest
value to prospectors, operators and all
Interested in the country.
Accompanied by a party of eight or
ten, Mr. Gerdine has entered the coun
try adjacent to the Sunset oil field,
working around south of Bakersfleld.
The mapping will extend north of Coa
linga and In the vicinity of Carton
creek. All country roads, the nature
of the country, soil and outcropplngs of
rock will be put down in detail. It will
be a minute report of every condition
in the valley.

NEW RUTH WILL WORK
MINES NEAR KINGMAN
Company with Los Angeles Con
nections Plans Extensive De
velopment—Assessment
KINQMAN, Ariz.. Nov. 15.—Carl B.
Van Deman and Clarence Camp haw
Incorporated the Ruth Mining com
pany, with a capitalization of $1,000,000,
for the purpose of taking: over the
Ruth and Rattan mines, in San Fran
cisco district. H.r. Van Deman and
associates have been working a force
of men on the Ruth the past two
months, and are getting the shaft down
toward the level from the old shaft.
A milling plant of fifty tons daily
capacity has been ordered and will
soon be on the ground. This plant
has been contracted for under a guar
antee that it will be fully adapted to
the treatment of the Ruth ores. The
mine is looking fine and has a large
quantity of ore already blocked out.
The mine and mill are to be operated
by electric power, the blfr Klngman
plant having a line to that property
now under construction.
O. B. Amsden, superintendent of tha
Gold Bug Mining companty, is author
ity for the statement that the com
pany Is soon to begin operations on
the mines, and that work will be con
tinued until a sufficient quantity of
ore Is blocked out to Justify the erec
tion of a large milling plant. Mr.
Amsden Is one of the most practical
of the mining operators of the county,
and does not believe in the expendi
ture of large sums of money for
milling plants until he has several
yearj of ore reserves' In the mine. The
Gold Bug at the present time has a
large amount of ore in sight, but the
further development of the mine Is
necessary to Insure a larger water sup
ply and ascertain the character of the
ore below water level.
f 1,600,000 IN ORB
The Golconda mine Is extimated to
have broken ore In its stopes to the
value of $1,500,00n, besides the great
bodies In' sight In these same stopes.
The broken ore will have to be milled
to put in shipping shape, but the
expense of milling is light. All the
ores in the dump are now belnpr
handled nt a big profit, the average
of the raw ore being about 25 per
cent zinc. In the long drift now being
driven from the Prosperity mine there
Is good Bliowlngs of ore encountered,
which will later become a nice milling
proposition. The mine Is getting in
shape to increase the output material
ly, both from the mill and the lower
levels of t..e mine.
Many prospectors are going Into th«
Secret Pass section, where the recent
rich finds of ore has created much
excitement. The properties under de
velopment are showing big bodies of
ore of a hlsh milling value.
Barney McCall and Peter Hanson aro
at work on the 3. P. T. group of mines,
cleaning up the annual work for the
year 1910. They will drive a deep adit
drift Into the vein to quite a depth
before finishing up the work. The
showing In this drift is good, the
entire width being ore high in lead.
All over the county miners are hard
at work doing assessment work on
mining property. Possibly more work
will be done on mines this year than
ever before In the history of the coun
ty, the belief obtaining among mine
owners that Mohave county Is on the
eve of a great mining boom, only a
big strike of ore In some of the new
mines being necessary to touch it off.
