Joining Water Mains Engineer Nolenberg of Los Angeles has been here this week assisting Engineer Lewis in connecting the new water mains with the system now underground. The larger mains at the junction of Center and Los Angeles streets were joined on Monday night. Water was turned out of the mains at 7 o'clock, and remained out until 10:30. The men in charge of the work, with several assistants, worked until 5:30 on Tuesday morning, when the several crossings and other connections were made. One of the connections leaked, and it was necessary to again turn water out of the mains early yesterday morning, when another attempt was made to stop the leak. Mr. Nolenberg is an expert machinist and has been employed to assist Engineer Lewis in joining the new water mains with the large pipes already in service. Church Notes Miss G. T.

She will also hold A Condition, Not a Thing Stockholders in the Kelso Milling company have discovered a condition and not a theory concerning them. That the mining property by them is rich in minerals has been no disposition to doubt that there has been mismanagement of the corporate finances seems clear. It is said that upward of $60,000 of stock has been sold in Orange within the year, and wise ones say half this amount has found its way into development work. A large portion of this amount has gone for missions and office expenses. Cases of mismanagement are freely reported and recently suits to recover sums have been brought against the company. As if this were not all, the holders recently learned the mine been bonded in the sum of $11,000 this sum has to be paid this week. It is reported the stockholder have placed many thousand dollars the mine will meet this latter upon them, they being of opinion mine is a valuable one. All of which proves that when purchase mining stock it resolves itself into a question of now you and now you don't. Church Notes Miss G. T.

Accidentally Killed Miss Thereea Corona, the seventeen year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carlos Corona of this city, was accidentally shot and killed at the residence of the Monterolas, on West Washington street, Los Angeles, on Saturday afternoon shortly after 4 o'clock. The weapon was a shotgun in the hands of a youth named Lawrence Miller. Miss Corona, who was engaged to wed Tim Monterola, had gone to Los Angeles to accompany her fiance and his sister to Santa Monica on Sunday. Shortly after four o'clock on Saturday Lawrence Miller, 11 years old, entered the house to get a shot gun for his father, who was working in a field nearby, and who wished to go hunting. Taking the gun from its resting place in the kitchen the lad started for the front part of the house by way of the parlor, just as Miss Corona, who had been reading on the piazza, entered the house. As the lad reached the doorway he tripped and fell to the floor, the gun, which he had been carrying over his shoulder, landing a few feet distant and being instantly discharged. The charge struck Miss Corona in the back of the neck, nearly tearing Values Increase Trustees have completed as a board of equalization the total valuation in 86,839. Last year's total 728,650.

As the lad reached the doorway he tripped and fell to the floor, the gun, which he had been carrying over his shoulder, landing a few feet distant and being instantly discharged. The charge struck Miss Corona in the back of the neck, nearly tearing her head from her shoulders. Death was instantaneous. The child, terrified at the tragedy, ran to his father and told the story, sobbingly and on the verge of hysterics. At the home of his grandmother, Yale and Alpine streets, where he had been taken after the accident, the Miller boy gave his version of the tragedy as follows: "I was out in the fields with my father," he said, "and he told me to go into the house and get his shotgun, as he wanted to kill some of the birds in the corn field, as they were spoiling the vegetables. I found the gun leaning up against the wall in the room next to the kitchen; and I picked it up and put it over my shoulder and started from the house. When I got nearly to the front door I passed Theresa. She was going to the kitchen to get a glass of water. The next thing I know I stumbled onto the floor and the gun went off. When I got up I saw her lying in the doorway between the front room and the kitchen and I thought that I had shot her then, but did not know. I went up to where she was and saw the blood, then I ran out of the house and cried." The Coronas were notified by telegraph of the unfortunate occurrence. Carlos Corona went to Los Angeles on Monday and returned with the body. Interment occurred on Tuesday in the Catholic cemetery. Keeping the Record Clear Santa Ana, Aug. 12, '07. EDITOR GAZETTE: The last issue of your paper states that Engineer Scuyler prepared the plans of the Yorba dam several years ago. In order to keep the record straight I think this statement should be corrected. As consulting engineer for the Anaheim irrigation district in 1889, Mr. Scuyler Keeping the Record Clear Santa Ana, Aug. 12, '07. EDITOR GAZETTE: The last issue of your paper states that Engineer Scuyler prepared the plans of the Yorba dam several years ago. In order to keep the record straight I think this statement should be corrected. As consulting engineer for the Anaheim irrigation district in 1889, Mr. Scuyler reported favorably on the Yorba reservoir, and estimated that an earth dam would cost $27,500, but did not make any specifications. The present dam is a hydraulic sluiced fill of much larger dimensions, an entirely different type of dam. Although Mr. Scuyler had nothing to do with this particular dam, he advocates this method of construction and has been and now is consulting engineer for a number of dams of this type of construction. H. CLAY KELLOGG. Anaheim Boys Ahead Capt. Stern has received word from Corporal Spielman, who is in San Francisco with Lieut. Selinger attending the state shoot.
