Found Riches in Mines John Friend has returned to this city after a nine-month's absence in the mining region near the Nevada state line with a fortune of $50,000 in cash, and 500,000 shares of stock in a mine worth 50 cents a share. In March of last year he came to Anaheim with his family. He borrowed money to make a payment on two lots on east Broadway, put up a very comfortable tent house and moved into it. Being a prospector and miner, he had difficulty in finding employment enough to support his family, and tried to get a grubstake and go prospecting. Not finding anyone hereabout who had faith enough in him, or in mining, he shifted to the new Nevada fields, where progressive people responded to his wants. After getting started with a suitable outfit, he applied himself to the task of searching the hot and burning sands of lower Nevada and Death Valley for the ledges of mineral that was to bring him a fortune. His search for the valuable mineral was successful. He located a group of 14 copper claims in the heart of Greenwater, near what is now the rich Schwab and Clark mines. As the excitement is great there, and many speculating investors are on the ground, he and his partner had no trouble in selling out, which they did last week, getting $50,000 cash and 500,000 shares of in the estate was obtained and interest was awarded to Mrs. Lupe McFadden, Mrs. Ysidoraique, Frank, George and John each. Within the last few months attempts have been made by Los Angeles persons to get large holdings the country from San Juan Capitol and San Diego. Richard O'Neil made an offer, and overtures Forster heirs were frequent. The purchase of Barnett included large stretch of foothill country for pasture only. There is some land along the ocean and about acres in the hills on the east end ranch ten miles from the sea. Forster brothers expect to farm 3506 acres, part of it being good land in the valley of the though most of it is foothill county. A Seventh Centenary Celebration It being the seventh centenary foundation of the Order of St. Doe a Triduum was celebrated at the red Heart Convent, East Los Angeles and at St Catherine's Convent, heim, on the 27, 28, 29 of December 1906. At the Sacred Heart Convent feast was opened by a solemn mass at 9:30 o'clock at which R Thomas J. Carney D. Delaney His search for the valuable mineral was successful. He located a group of 14 copper claims in the heart of Green-water, near what is now the rich Schwab and Clark mines. As the excitement is great there, and many speculating investors are on the ground, he and his partner had no trouble in selling out, which they did last week, getting $50,000 cash and 500,000 shares of stock worth 50 cents per share. This is not so bad for a starter, for they have more good mining claims to grow into value, as the camp becomes permanent, and mine investors reach out for more surrounding property. He will immediately build a fine home on East Broadway. Big Realty Deal Ten thousand acres of the Forster ranch was sold this week to E. Barnett, a Los Angeles investor, the purchase price being $125,000. The deal is the largest in point of acreage made in this county in recent years. The purchaser has bought the interest of three heirs of the immense Forster ranch and a division of the ranch between Barnett and John and Frank Forster has been effected. Barnett is a capitalist who recently came from the east. When he arrived the Marco Forster estate was still unsettled. Three of the five heirs had been pulling together against the other two.

As has been already stated in your paper, the conditions are more favorable than the previous investigations indicated. And nothing has been encountered that could be considered as a dangerous element, or that would not be expected in a construction of this kind, as the following description will show: A puddle trench was dug across the bottom 4 feet wide at the top and 6 feet at the bottom, to a depth of 22 feet, and pits were sunk in the bottom of this trench to a depth of 36 feet below the surface.

A puddle trench was dug across the bottom 4 feet wide at the top and 6 feet at the bottom, to a depth of 22 feet, and pits were sunk in the bottom of this trench to a depth of 36 feet below the surface. None but the best of material was encountered and from a point 14 feet below the surface to the depth penetrated the formation was a blue clay. As was expected, two layers of sand were encountered on the west side between two and four feet in thickness. The blue clay runs under these. They were cut off down to the clay by the puddle wall for a distance of 60 feet into the hill. Between the two stratum of gravel is a stratum of clay hardpan 9 feet thick and over the upper stratum the hardpan is 15 feet thick. The cut is open and any one can see and measure this blanket of hardpan and observe that it runs on into the hill. It extends entirely through the hill above the dam a distance of 700 feet to the reservoir, and the most careful borings have not revealed any connection of the gravel stratum with the reservoir, and the question of loss through this point by seepage is too absurd to require argument. Mr. Sherwood mentions a stratum of gravel 16 feet thick under the outlet pipe on the east side, which he says extends under the hill. A pocket of gravel and very compact sand was found which is seven feet thick. This was excavated down to the blue clay underneath, and cross cut with the puddle wall. The stratum of clay hardpan over this gravel is twelve feet in thickness. This will make it safe against a possible seepage which might reach this point. It is not likely that any water will penetrate this far. It is 210 feet from the inner toe of the dam and the continuous blue clay bottom is between the two points. Test pits and borings were made on all these points and they do not show any continuous gravel strata. Test pits were dug on the hills on the east and above the dam, and they did not disclose any gravel down to a depth that is perfectly safe. The lower hill along the line of the outer slope of the dam contains some gravel pockets at a level of 16 feet above the bottom; but this can in no possible way be considered detrimental. If the outer slope of the dam was loose rock or gravel it would not be expected in a construction of this kind, as the following description will show: A puddle trench was dug across the bottom 4 feet wide at the top and 6 feet at the bottom, to a depth of 22 feet, and pits were sunk in the bottom of this trench to a depth of 36 feet below the surface.

The lower hill along the line of the outer slope of the dam contains some gravel pockets at a level of 16 feet above the bottom; but this can in no possible way be considered detrimental. If the outer slope of the dam was loose rock or gravel it would add to its stability. I could cite eminent authority on this point, in addition to my own experience, but do not consider it necessary. In conclusion, I will say that so far as the work has progressed we have left no possible opening for the water to escape. I am satisfied that any fair-minded man, who will examine, will agree that such is the case; and the same policy of safe construction will be pursued to the completion. During the progress of the work the whole face of the hills next the dam will be cut off on the east side, and an opportunity will be furnished to the skeptical to see the entire formation. So much has been said about gravel, I assume that in the minds of many it requires solid clay or adobe to hold water.

He was asked to select one of them. The stork had visited his household the evening before, and thereby an interesting wager between himself and E. W. McCollum was decided. Six years ago, when both were crusty bachelors, with no hope of redemption, McCollum bantered Ahlborn to put up a dollar on a wager as to which would be first to marry. The defi was accepted, and it was understood the loser was to purchase for the winner some article of household adornment as a memento. Time sped on and there was nothing doing, until one day McCollum offered to raise the bet $5 a side. Ahlborn agreed, and two weeks thereafter McCollum was married, having stolen a march on his adversary. A year or more thereafter Ahlborn fell captive to cupid's wiles, and after winning his bride, demanded satisfaction from his adversary. The bet was decided one evening last week, when a fine bouncing baby boy arrived at the Ahlborn home. McCollum's telephone bell was kept busy all afternoon by ambitious friends asking him if he was ready to make any more bets. Heats Delivered to all parts of city To Your Eye on YOUR WIFE!
