No general strike, such as they plan, can succeed without violence. When the lawbreakers begin operations at the opening of the New Tear, they will find Chief of Police Auble on guard, as well as the' Citizens' Alliance.

Two months ago Capt. Rule, president of Hacienda de Beneflclo de la Luz, and director and large shareholder In the several companies controlling mining interests In and about Pachuca, a millionaire and man of influence in the industrial world of Southern Mexico, an Englishman by birth, with his daughter, passed through Ios Angeles on his wav to San Francisco to purchase mining machinery.

They stopped off here a few days, and Mr. Ralph, whose family had been friends of the Rules in the long a so, was invited to call. Within forty-eiRht hours he was the affianced husband of the captain's daughter. Capt. Rule, scentinsr the wind, cut short his stay In this city and took away Miss Lillian to the North.

But the Rules had not been long in town before the lovers contrived a secret meeting. "Willard," said Ralph, presenting himself In some nervousness at the City Hall office of Clerk of the Council Ooodwln. his lone-time friend.

"I want you to help me out. I'm goinarto e- married, and her father somewhat strenuously objects. You've got to see me throueh." "Leave it to me," said Goodwin. "But the unbosomlnK of a few details wouldn't hurt nny. Speak up." At the end of the talk it was all fixed that at 2 o'clock on the afternoon of Thankselvtn Day a bis: red automobile, with Suoeriof Judre Wilbur In the front seat, should whirl un to the Cltv Hall, there to be entered by the mH'onnlre'g duithter, her flanee! and WIlHrd ftoodwln as master of ceremonies.

Thence the line of least resist-nnee would be to Westlake park, where, under the shade of the trees, a wayside wedding would take place. A newsnaner man who was in thn secret would immediately thereafter snstch a plate from the hands of a pbotorranher concealed in the nearby shrubbery, rush to his office for development and printing, then nro-. reed post heste to Cant.

It wns thus: At the stroke of 5 on "Friday afternoon, in the committee rooms of the Council. In the presence of the chief of esch city department and his secretary, the Mexican Consul and his secretary, and newspaper man or two, to sav noth-j lng of tho United States and Mexican flaas entwined or of red geraniums and yellow chrysanthemums emblem-1 atic of the Mexican colors.

That was the programme at 1 o'clock N' AN old mine shaft, forgotten, Jt believed, for.

centuries, three Azusa mining men have dug up A strange-looking tools of a type mining men do not recognize. News of this find reached the city yesterday. How they could have gotten in the spot where they were fbund is a curious mystery. They were in an blu, half -crumbled shaft, the entrance of which had, been overgrown with a thick clump of trees of quite large size. The place is about eighteen miles from Azusa, and at present called "Old panlsh Mine." About it are clustered romances and traditions of the Misson fathers' days.

The men now working It are Fred Ma ley. Swaneey and one other. When tbey began working there were no signs that mining had ever been done there before. Soon they began turning up tools of an old type lying half burled on the suiface of the ground. These' are seen In the bottom of the photograph.

When the shaft was in about 100 feet, however, they broke into an old L03 ANGELES Is apparently on the evs of one of the blgjcest union labor Strikes ever seen on the Pacific Coast. The mines have been secretly laid by IMnhead McCarthy on his recent eneaks Into this city. The final touches were put on during the recent visit of Mayor flchmlts, fresh froiii his Victory in San Francisco, The walking delegates have every detail of their plans arranged, waiting only for the sounding of the signal by Tlnhead McCarthy. The strike Is to be called without warning January 1. From a source not to be questioned The Times was put in possession of all the facts yesterday.

1 The objects of, the gang are to obtain political control of Los Angeles and to place ScTimltsln the Governor's chair at the next election. TO REACH EVERY TRADE. The strike will be preceded by a wholesale demand for shorter hours and more pay, in almost every trade in the city. These demands will be presented the first day of the New Tear. Unless they are immediately complied with, a general strike wllf be ordered.

It will extend to every building trade, including stone masons, carpenters, plasterers, brick layers, hod carriers, lathers, shinglers and the like. How much further it will go. depends upon circumstances. It is not known whether an attempt will be made to tie up the car lines and other public utilities on a sympathetic strike. Pinhead McCarthy, guaranteed to furnish all the money necessary from the labor union funds in San Francisco.

He has also agreed to send down labor union sluggers to stand guard at the boycotted houses and enforce the lockouts. It is an open secret that the San Francisco unions maintain a small army of these ruffians. The idea in to tie up the town so that It cannot exist without relief. To absolutely stop, the municipal life and the business iof the To make people cry out for a compromise. SCIIMITZ TO "MAKE PEACE." In this contingency, Mayor Schmiiz is to be asked to come from the North and beneficently intervene.

This has already been done in San Francisco. The union Bluggers scare the merchants out of their seven senses; then send their own Mayor round to "make peace." According to crafty Pinhead McCarthy's plans, this city will be so frightened and so tired of the strike that the merchants and employers will turn eagerly to Schmltz as a positive savior and messiah. Having settled the strike and established "peace," It is. figured that Schmltz will be made enough of a popular hero with both parties to become Governor. If they get him In the Governor's chair, heaven knows what they plan to do.

THE FIRST "FEELER." Meanwhile the first feeler that has been sent in advance, of this big strike is the attempt to force a labor union man into the Board of Public Works. This will be followed by a great fight to elect a labor union Mayor for Los Angeles. On the occasion of his recent visit here Schmltz told the unionists here that this could easily be done if they would stand together. For this feature of the campaign they depend upon Hearst and the Los Angeles Examiner. They fancy that the Examiner has political influence enough to elect a Mayor.

Of course upon the Mayor really de pends success of the strike. For upon the Mayor depends the organiza tlon of the Police Commission. It is freely admitted by the unionists ail over the country that no big strike can be won unless the police "stand In." In the present labor-union conditions every union man's place can be filled with the greatest ease by importing non-union men. ir these can be kept away by sluggers, there is some chance of winning strikes. Unless they can be bullied from taking the jobs, there is, of course, not the slightest chance of victory.

Without a police force "standing in," a strike means nothing but starvation and defeat for the strikers. It follows that the strikers, to win In Los Angeles, must absolutely control the Police Commission and through it the police. It seems almost inconceivable, but Schmltz told them on his recent visit here, that If they elect a union labor Mayor, they can bring Los Angeles to the position In the labor union world occupied by Chicago and San Francisco. These things sound like wild dream but they are part of the plans here. MERCHANTS WILL JOLT 'EM.

But about January 2 the strikers are due to have a sad jolt The Los Angeles merchants are fully advised of these plans. The Citizens' Alliance, which makes the solid part of the 'business world here, is making a few plans of its own. Instead of the weak whispering cuss words they have met in San Francisco, they will be met here by an iron front A prominent merchant of this city said yesterday: "When Schmltz comes down here in his intended role as peacemaker, he Will have a cruel surprise. We have all resolved to refuse to say a word to him. We shall tell him he has troubles enough In San Francisco without butting in here, anj that we can tend to oir own affairs without Hb assistance."

NEW YORKER DIGS UP PAST IN DESERTED RUIN. Broken Toledo Blade, Faded Gown, Ouint Account Books and Silver Ornaments In a Crumbling Chest of Oak, Unearthed from Stone Call of Untold Years. T.

S. Beard, a. New Yorker who hns spent the better part of a year In Southern California, left for his home yesterday, passing through Los Angeles en route. He carries with him, in a suit case, one, of the most romant ic reilcs ever brought out from the dust of generations in this part of the country. Mr.

Beard has acquired some ranch property in San Diego county, back in the hills near Julian. On the ranch was an old adobe house, with most of its walls a pile of moldering earth. For half a century the house has been seldom used by human beings; for at leust ten years its piled fragments hava been merely a windbreak for sheep in time of storm. As a ruin the earth heap was neither historic nor picturesque, so Mr. Beard razed it a short time ago to make way for a modern barn.

But although the crumbling sods had become mere misshapen clods, In a corner of the hous Mr. Beard's workmen found a tiny vault of neatly cemented stone, which, gave evidence of no disturbance. With great interest the proprietor gently attacked this, removing stone with a small chisel. The interior, when revealed through the sundered ton, showed a wood lining evidently California redwood which had rotted almost entirely away with age, and had crumbled In little fragments about an oak chest, of very antique construction, occupying the center of the wee cell. The chest was held by three strong locks, whose rust defied the enertretic prying of the finder for nearly half a day.

As a last resort Beard removed the screws of the hinges, and with an excited speculation in his heart, raised the creaking cover. In Its Interior he found no treasure, but a yellowed parchment which be discovered on translation to be a family record, a woman's gown, so flimsy and old that It fell apart at the touch, an old Spanish dacreer, several silver bracelets and ornaments, a set of old account books, and the two broken frnsmients of a Toleda rapter blade. Strange to say, no family name appears on any of the books, nor on any of the letters, of which several fragments only were found. The eown Is of pale-pink silk, evidently of a much brighter color on that far-away day when It was new. The accounts are neatly kept, written in Spanish In an old-fashioned hand, and deal mostly with smail transactions.

How Ion they have been there, the nreent holder is unprepared to sav. Venerable Indians say that no familv of either education or Castillan lineage his occupied the house since tho American possession of Southern California. Thee is another tradition that an extensive Spanish landholder used the house still in some preservation as a country resort In the late sixties, and that on one occasion he and his who! familv were hesieeed for three weeks by hostile Indians. In the end the" fled, pnd the'r native servants, ioinin with tho Indians, sped after them and slew half the party before thev had reached the bounds of civilisation. The chest was broken in an attempt to move it.

and the fraement of silk was likewise too fragile to stand transportation. There were evidences thtt writer had rotten to the chest, but this, thoueh decaying, had preserved the papers and other things within in a fair way. Besrd will keep his historic treasure In his New York residence until he returns to Southern California with his family, to estibilsh a new home, in the early part of next summer.
