The rain was a small affair, to be sure, but It will get Its name in the weather bureau records, as well as in the papers, and those who are wishing, for a heavy precipitation will accept it thankfully and hope for larger favors. It rained enough in the early evening to bring out umbrellas and rain clothes and make dyspeptics scowl.

Up to midnight only a "trace" of rain had but the atmosphere remained limp and soggy, showing that a further downfall might be 'expected. The rain did not come" unannounced. Mr. Franklin has eald for two daya in succession that it would "possibly" rain. He soented from afar these showers, pointing out that there was a disturbance out at sea which would probably make a landing somewhere on the lower coast and produce ralu.

Hut field's followers, on the other hand, are positive that the wizard of Eeperanza has provoked the clouds to tears and the most astute meterologist can not shake them their belief. They, are firmly convinced.that Hatfield, with his strange chemical affinities, has produced this rain nnil is entitled to credit for it.

The reports of the officers were submitted, which showed a satisfactory financial standing and a large amount of good being done by the hospital.

The reports of the house physician and the matron were especially gratifying. Following the reports the officers for the ensuing year were elected. Jacob Schlesinger, who has served as the president of both associations and who has proved the most efficient president the society has had, was obliged to withdraw from his position on account of illness in hts family. A committee was appointed to draft resolutions regarding the excellent work he has done. The following officers were elected for the benevolent society: 8.

B. Sederman, president; I. Norton, vice president; N. Danzlger, secretary, V. Harris, treasurer; Dr.

8. Hecht, B. Forrer and I. Wolfe, directors. The hospital soclty elected eleven directors, who in turn elected the following officers: 8.

Possible While Nuisance Continues "Los Angeles will not have clean streets and an abatement of the dust nuisance until an ordinance is passed by the city council and enforced by the proper authorities prohibiting building contractors from piling up their materials in the public highways as they are now doing." This la the comment on "a cleaner Los Angeles" by John, Miller, for thirty years a prominent contractor of New York city, who with his wife is spending the winter In Los Angeles. "The authorities of New York city do not allow a wagon load of material to be placed in the street when a' building is being erected," Mr. Miller said last night, "and New York is one of the cleanest cities in the United States. Here they allow anything to be piled in the street and contractors do about as they want to with the highway." "By the wind, horses and wagons and people passing, the sand, rtlrt and refuse la scattered about and as a result you have dirty streets and will have them so long as these conditions continue. "In the construction of any building it is almost an easy for the materials to be dumped into the cellar and then used as needed.

"In New York city wo may have nome of the big steel girders needed construction placed temporarily In the street but not longer than for twenty-four hours. I think we are building sky scrapers having a floor, space equivalent that of a block of the largest business in Angeles and fifteen to twenty stories high. We have our materials' in the basement and use them they are needed. "Twenty-five years ago when the law was put Into effect, we contractors made a great hue and cry, because we believed absolutely needed part of the street for our materials, We have found out how to work from the cellar, that Is. all.

"Contractors trf Los Angeles would probably fight the measure but It has been successfully enforced for years In New York and plays no small part lv the cleanliness of the streets, and the same thins can be done here. "Los Angeles has possibility of being one of the cleanest cities In the world. New York city burned over a million tons of coal in a single winter and not considering the smoke nuisance has the refuse ashes to be gotten rid Comparatively little coal Is burned In Los Angvles, and the two very imjurtunt Itnim of smoke and well out of the way in making; the city cleanly." RICH GOLD STRIKE IN INYO COUNTY Ledges Located on the Edge of the Great Death Valley COPPER ORES ALSO FOUND IN NEW SPOTS Stampede Causes Much Suffering to Prospectors Seeking Riches Up in thnt rlproorlng ret rich and famoun gold camp, Ooldfleld, the alleged discovery of the Breyfoglo mine that stampeded the prospectors from GoldfleW and from Bullfrog, and from Bwallowtall from other shivering camps, almost caused a lynching bee because the so-called discovery has been dynamited to smithereens by the Bullfroggers, Swallowtallera and other tailers who rushed into the desert country to grab a slice of the ledges from which gold could be knocked off with jan axe. The alluring tale told by the 'lone prospector who evidently had drank deep and long, stampeded the whole Bullfrog camp and men rushed off by day and night to a point vnteen miles southward, where the strike said to be. Many did not equip themselves properly and some were in Imminent danger of dying from exposure, and when they returned they were so wrathy that they talked of lynching, but the man who told the story explained satisfactorily and so still lives.

However, through this reported discovery Inyo county, California, is again made famous, as Frank Harris, better known as "Shorty" Harris, has made a atrlKe fifty miles south of. the cr.mp with the reHonant name that will develop Into a rich property. More particularly, the new strike Is located twenty-five miles west of Surveyors' wells In Inyo county, California. The point is reached by going first to Willow Springs, then to Surveyors' wells, and through Cottonwood canyon to the discovery. The ground la apart from Death valley, and so situated thut wood and water can be had In plenty from the mountains near by, which are a break up of the Panamint range.

The Carson Colorado railroad Is only sixty miles distant. Harris saya that "It Is a beautirul country." The contact is in lime and granite, and can be traced for fifteen miles. There is already a crowd of goldseekers going Into the new country and it will not be long before the entire area will be located. Harris knows the desert country perfectly and was accompanied on his prospecting trip- that turned out so successfully by L. P.

McGeary and E. G. legot. who are now staking out the best looking ground. Harris' shows some splendid gold ore from the strike and declares that $250 reck is common where he and his partner are staking claims.

Not satisfied this, Harris also reports that Bam Morris and Sam Phail, who are known in Los Angeles as having traversed the entire Panamint country in quest of the yellow metal, have located excellent copper claims at Cow creek, seven miles south of Furnace canyon, and that sixty-four psr cent of the ore is copper, from a ledge 2 1-2 feet wide. Rich Searchlight Mines The entire Searchlight district of Southern Nevada Is tributory to Los Angeles, and In that section an immense amount of Angeleno capital is invested. C. C. Brown of Los Angeles, yeaTs ago, then a leading mining engineer, prophesied that the Quartzite mine of Searchlight would prove to be one of the richest gold mines in the western half of the United States, and would later rank among the ten great gold mines of the world.

From indications that time seems to have arrived and the prophecy made when the property was in its infancy has proven true. The showing now on the 700-foot level, together with the ground opened up above, makes the Quartzite not enly one of the ten big mlnea of the world, but one of the largest known I'ree-mllllng propositions. On the first of the year the stamp mills of that district, four In number, sixty stamps in Rli, were turning out a quarter ot a million dollars a month. This isn't much but It will do nicely for the four companies concerned. It takes time to open and equip, a property, but give Searchlight twelvo months and the above output win at least be doubled, and more likely tiebted.

This (statement is made on Buch showings as the Cyrus Noble, Pompeii, Empire, Ivanough, Old Romen, Good Hope, Southern Nevada, Parallel Dupont, and many others. Another Bonanza Found Local mining circles are repeating the glowing accounts that have come here concerning a new Viola mine in Idaho that State Mine Inspector Bell recently visited and found it one of the great silver-lead mines of the country. There is thirty feet of solid ore that carries from 30 to 70 pcr 1 cent lead, with a half ounce of silver for each unit of lead, there also being a small quantity of gold. This Is all shipping ore. During the past season the company shipped what would be equivalent to 100 twenty-ton cars of the ore, which was hauled by team to Dubois, elghty.flve miles at a cost of $10 a ton.

This property was located in the early days, when the Viola was producing such great quantities of ore, the claims being known ait tho 16 to 1 and. the Silver Dollar. Borne work was done on the ground at that developing i a small vein on the Two and a half years ago eastern bualneM man who Interested At Tlntk, visited the poperty. He made a careful investigation of the surface and found the formation just like that at the Utah camp. Becoming: satisfied the property was a lively one for development, he purchased It and started to cut the ledge, showing at the surface, surveys indicating that the tunnel would have to be driven soma 300 feet.

At ninety feet from the portal, the tunnel opened a blind lend which carried Rood ore. Development disclosed the fact that there was a shoot 400 feet In length and to four feet In width, the ore being of very fine grade. Rich Gold Cave A heavy shot In the drift of the Lookout mine at Ooldfleld has opened an Immense cave containing one of the largest bodies of pay ore ever discovered In that portion of Careful measurements of the ore posed determined that tho cave contains over 10,000 tons of gold ore which will average $20 a ton. The men had put a heavy shot In the drift the night before, and the next morning, when muckers went to work to clear up the ore, they discovered that a large cavern had been opened. Part of the drift had fallen In and one side of the tunnel had been blown away, exposing the large cavern.

As these caverns are frequent occurrences In the mines' in tho Goldfield district and usually contain ore, the men Investigated and found all the walls carried gold ore. When a drill was driven into, the walls it was discovered that they were several feet In thickness. California Mine News A. few miles above Lewlston, Trinity county, California, work has been commenced on a big mining Project up the river. The undertaking Is to drive a tunnel twelve feet wide and eight feet high through a mountain a distance of a third of a mile In order to Trinity river from its course.

The tunnel cuts off a big bend and will lay bare a mile and a half or river bed that Is known to be rich in ''placer gold, for it has been thoroughly prospected. The tunnel will be ample in Bize and grade to carry all the water in the river at ordinary stages. The enterprise is under the direction of Frank McCue. A mining man from Stockton, who recently visited the Jenny Llnd region, was told there that the dredger at work In the river was taking out from $12,000 to $20,000 a month in gold, and that in one week recently the clean up amounted to $6000, which would'make about $25,000 month. The machine Is operated day and night by three shifts, each composed of three men.

A Stockton family which owns land on which the dredger Ifi at work is, according to import, rei-elvlng from $1200 to $2000. a month, that being 10 per cent of the gross clean-ups. Last Sunday the new quartz millon the Lappln mine, near "Weaverville, was started on good ore. The plant was put in this fall and work was energetically pushed to completion. O.

L. Carr and G. F. Emery of Carrvllle, owners the well known Yellow Rose Mining company, are operating a group of claims on the headwaters of the south fork of Salmon and Union creek, in Coffee creek mining district. Mr.

Carr, who' superintends the work saya the company is driving a 1200-foot tunnel from the Siskiyou county side to tap the ore vein running parallel with the famous Dorleska mine, whlt'h is now being operated on the Trinity side. They have already encountered some very good veins of ore; and when the main vein is struck, which will be at a depth of nearly 800 feet, it will make one of the grandest mines In Northern California. The Dorleska is owned by Capt. H. Z.

Osborne and other associates In Los Angeles. According to Stephen Barton the Grenavere silver mine on Sllverade mountain southeast of Isabella in Kern county, has been sold to J. M. Crumpacker of Los Angeles, and arrangements are being made to work it. The development done this mine shows a margin above wages, part being gold.

This waa.a ensh ealo and the terms appear to be private, Mr. Hooper being the man who sold the mine and tlw only person who ever made a milling test of the ore, though Judge Sumiwr made shipments of the ore to San Francisco gome thirty years ago. The Stavert ure running a drainage tunnel which Is to drain their pld Keys mine 150 feet below the deepest working and 800 feet below, the oeepeat part of their ground. This ia entirely a new departure. Heretofore other mines of the Keysvllle district have quit, work at 200 feet or lira.

The Old Keys has paid by far more clear profit than any mtno in vhls section. The well-known Cherry Hill Mine on Cherry a few miles from Yreka, which has been closed for some time on account 'of litigation, has been placed in commission. This was the first property to attempt deep mining in that section, A force of men Is now engaged in driving the 1800 foot tunnel, and it is predicted that a rich strike will be made before many, feet have been covered. The vein' will be encountered at a depth of about 1300 The Ohm and Hand property, which Is under bond to the Mount Vernon people, is said to be showing up fine. A four-foot ledge of blue ribbon has been encountered which runs from $40 to $50 per.

On the Stanislaus river below CoN llervllle, six miles east of Murphys, the Bourbon Mining, Milting and Klertrical company has acquired water rights along the river and Intends transmit power into Sonora and other Tuolumne points by July, The Etna King Mining company of Stockton has put a hoisting plant upon the Zelgler property In Angel Camp, and will sink a three-compartment working shaft for.

the development of two shoots of ore. The Union Copper company, at Copperopolis is hauling lime to build'; a smelter. A pole line leading from Telegraph City to the mine has been completed to supply the power. Forty; men are at work at the mine. The Emma Mining company, or so- called Easy Bird, has been reorganized under the name of the Outlook Mining company, with Col.

W. T. Robinson of Mokclumne Hill as president and A. K. Mnyer of Boston financial agent.

The company has a paid-up capital sufficient to put tho property a' dividend-paying basis. Ten men are at present employed putting, the and ten-stamp 'mill; in readiness to commence crushing ore.

Eastern peoplo are said to be'jne-V gotiating for the purchase of the Neo- dies smelter. Arizona's copper output for 1904 Is given at 210,500,000 pounds. Cadmium Mine in California The reported discovery of a considerable deposit of cadmium near Lyons, i in calls attention, to the fact that thereds not a single plant: in the United States that can; treat' cr refine this mineral and It is necessary to ship the crude concentrates to! Swansen, Wales.

An Important" new, use of the metal is in the manufactura' of electrical storage batteries and this, new demands and general scarcity i has increased the market price from about; 30 cents a pound to about a pound for the metal. It would seem that at this price It would be profitable to produce the ore even though It is essary to snip, it across the i ocean treatment. The operators in' where the ore Is found would do. -well to get in touch with the market for product. Magdalena Notes MAGDALENA, Jan.
