Every effort has been made to find a supply in the neigbborhood, but so far in vain; every drop used has to be brought from tue cow wells at Gar.ock, near the base of Black Mountain, some twelve miles to the west on the road to Mojave, and as may be readily imagindd it is both poor and dear, costing for drinking purposes some $2 50 per harrel, and for other purposes from $150 to §2. The wells at Garlock do not have an over-abundant supply, and any unusual demand perceptibly diminishes The men en- ged in supplying the Randsburg camps L water are making more money at the than those who are taking out gold. The permanent character of the miues s0 far developed and the absolute need of a sufficient supply of water and the certain return on money invested in an enterprise looking to filling this need, has attracted the attention of capitalists both in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and there is bur little quesition that before many months roll by Randsburg will have as much water as it can consame with ten times its present population and some to are for other places near by. Two San Francisco men of abundant means and large experience in mining de- velopment le.t the City on Saturday last jor Randsburg, where they will meet others from Los Angeles, and with expert engineers the party will go over the ground between that town and Owens Lake, some sixty miles to the nor:hwest in lnyo County, with a view of laying a pipe line to supply Randsburg with water from the lake. Tue lower parto! thelake, as is well known, is rather too alkaline 1or ordinary use, but at the upper and near the mouth of Owens River the water is sweet, fresh and cool as spring water. ‘This is the nearest point from which it is practicable to get water for the Rands- burg disirict. The head waters of Kern River are but little more than hali the | distance to Owens Lake, but the interven- ing mountains present d.fliculties which are insurmountable except at enormous expense, for relay pumping stations. The size of the pipe line will be the only limit to the supply, and there are no great en- gineering difficulties to be overcome in securing it. The necessary preliminary inspection has already been made of the several routes to the lake, and the most | practicable about determined upon, sub- ject to the approvai of tne parties inter- ested financially in the promotion of the | enterprise. From the head of the lake, where the intake will be placed, to Randsburg, the more feagible route is something less than eighty miles or little more than the dis- tance in a straight line. The route will skirt the eastern side of the lake till just north of Olancha, whence it will strike off in a southeasterly direction and continue until it crosses the road from Mojave to Panaminte, just northeast . f the boundary line between Kern and San Bernar- dino counties, whence it wiil turn to the south and run in nearly a straight line to Randsbure. The only part of the line where any serions difficulty will be ex- perienced wili be that over the gap be- tween the Argosy and Coso mountains, though the rise from Olancha to this point is not unusually great. Once over the gap the rest of the way will be down hill, as 1t were. No ditching will have to be done 10 speak of, as it will not be neces- sary to bury the pipe except at wagon crossings, though considerable trestiing will be necessary at certain places along the route. Once a line of the proper size is laid the question of its paying well is settled. The charge for water can be made at just what figure under the present prices the owners The consumption, 100, will not be confined to Raundsburg, the line will be tapped at various points along the route for Goler Gulch and other camps and towns that are sure tospring up as the ccuntry north of Randsburgis pros- pected and developed. e geiiae A BIG INCORPORATION. The Ashford Mining Company Formed With a Capital of $200,000. The Ashford Mining Company has re- cently been formed with a capital of $200,- The directors are: Thomas Bull of Santa Clara, W. C. Andrews of S8an Jose, H.J. Ashford of Randsburg, L. R. Ash- ford of Randsburg, Harold Ashford of Randsburg. The following mines in the Randsburg caap have been purchased: The King Solomon, Hector, Desert Queen, Kootenai and Magpie. Some 600 feet of shaft and drift work has beeu. done on these claims. The King Solomon 8t a depth of 150 feet shows a two-foot lead of rich ore with well-defined walls, This lead has been opened on haif a dozen places, and can be clearly traced the full length of the claim. In drifting on this lead through six feet of ore a two- foot vein was found in the foot wall that will average from $600 to §$1000 per ton. The last clean-up of mixed ore runs $100 per ten.. The extensions of both the Butte and Kenyon_ leads have been opened on this property, these being two of the best paying ctaims in thedistrict. The Kenyon has milled ore averaging $700 to the ton, while the Butie. which employs about thirty men, is bavirg a steady output of ore running from $50 to $150 ver ton. In addition to these defined leads, the company’s property is covered with an immense number of very rich stringers that are expected to pay good dividends from the surface. Sailors Want Their Wages. George Pogmore, John Matson, William Limpay and D. McDonald, seamen of the British ship Grassendale. have brought a libel against the vessel and Master John T. Lines in the Uniteu Siates District Court. In the libel they state that last February they shipped for a voyage to Newcastle, N. 8. W., .,.5 San Fran- aisco, from Cape Town, South’ Alrica. Upon reaching this wort the master paid off the men, but not the amount that they claim is que them. They assert that about $285 1s still due toem. ————— Lucky Baldwin Sued. James 8.

The British Wheat Ship Will Fly the German Flag. Sale of the Y oman—A Well-Known Bureka Ship-Builder Is in the City. Santa Monica as a harbor is condemned by five-eighths of the captains who trade on the coast. They assert that no matter what improvements are made it will always be dangerous on account of the undertow. No vessel that ties up at any of the wharves would be able to carry a hawser strong enough to hold her during a gale, and in consequence every vessel that is at anchor there puts to sea when a storm is approaching, so they say. Yesterday about a dozen captains were discussing the question on East street. They argued the guestion pro and con, but the sentiments of all were finally voiced by Captain Swan of the bark Theo- bald. *“Santa Monica and Callao are almost identicai in regard to their situa- tion,” said he, *‘Callao has been made into a safe harbor in ordinary weather, but in a storm no hawser that has ever been made could hold & ship. The under- tow is enormous, and it takes vessels where it will. “Callao is inclosed by breakwaters on all sides and the narrow entrance is from the north. As a general rule it may be safe to lie there, but as a harbor of refuge it is a good vlace for captains to keep away from. Inorder to make sure that ship captains make no mistake in regard to mooring lines the man we wonld call chief wharfinger suppli+s every ship with hawsers and has a jorce of men at work whose only duty 1t is to see that the vessel is securely fastened and that the lines do not part. “‘Santa Monica is similar to Callao. At the former place a 15-inch hawser would snap hke a pipestem when a gale was blowing. They can build as many break- waters as they please, but the undertow will still remain. As a harbor of refuge it would be worse than useless, and I for one would never make for it. “*San Pedro can be made into a seaport, and at far less expense than 8anta Monica. At 8an Pedro the undertow can be re- duced toa minimum, and therefore the dangers of Callaoand Santa Monica would be obviated.” The British ship California was sold in | England recently for £17,900 10 R, M.

When the Calornia reached Liverpool the grain merchants boycotted her, as Captain Blair sold under market rates. In spite.of the opposition the cargo sold like wildfire, and tbe company cleared $50,000 on the venture, The ‘California was the last of the sailing fleet owned by the ‘White Star line. The British Yeoman, well known in San Francisco, was sold to James Taylor of Liverpool for £775) at the same time as tn- California. The British Yeoman is an old-timer, while the California is a' mod- ern ship and one of the finest of her class. H. D, Bendixsen, the well-known ' ship- builder, is down from Eureka.

Bendixsen considers the Hum- boldt the best piece of workmanship he has turned out in years, and he takes more interest, if possible, in the comple- tion of the vessel than does Max Kalish, the popular agent of the steumer. The British ship Centesima, now on the mud flats in Richardson’s bay, will have to be discharged with lighters. The Piper, Aden, Goodall & Uo.’s schooners have been chartered and the work of tak- ing out the cargo will begin to-day. When the iron, cement and coke have been taken out the vessel will be put on the Hunter’s Point arydoek for a thorough overhaul- ing.

VON TIEDEMAN'S BRIEF EXULTATION Deputy Disirict Attorney Piexotto Springs a Lit- tle Surprise. Some Possibility of Convicting the Handsome Defend- ant. Mrs. Spencer’s Photograph Is S'ill Missing, but ths Negative Has Been Found. Carl von Tiedeman, charged with per- jury, walked into Judge Wallace’s court- room yesterday morning the perfect per- sonification of a happy man. Von Tiede- man is really a handsome creature, large of stature, of magnificent physique, polistied in manners, blessed with a win- ning smile that illumines a countenance of unusual intelligence and benignant appearance, with Hyperian locks, and withal appareled like a successful man of the world, with a touch of the oldtime dandy added.. In honor of the occasion Von Tiedeman wore his tall silk hat on the back of his head, shghtly tilting to the right, and in his spotless shirt fron: sparkied a solitaire diamond, secured by a tiny gold chain, at the end of which was 2 pin embellished with a pearl “of purest ray serene.” It was evident that Von Tiedeman was expecting a speedy acquittal on the charge of perjury that was pending against him. He knew that the photograph of Mrs. Sarah Owen Spencer that he swore was a pictare ot Harriet P. Christy had been lost and on this account it appeared to him that it would be impossible to secure a verdict of conviction against him. . Von Tiedeman may in the trial be able to establish his innocence, or at least to defeat the prosecution’s effort to convict; yet, in regard to the important photo- graph, it seems that he was countingoa a contingency without full knowledge of the resources of District Attorney Barnes and his assistant, Peixotto, for the latter an- nounced to the court that though the pic- ture, which was abstracied or was lost from the archives of the court, could not be tound, yet he had been able to find the original photograph from which the pic- ture was printed, and that the negative and a fac-simile print would be offered in evidence. Von Tiedeman’s countenance fell'when this statement was made, but he guickly recovered his self-possession, and through- out the day carefully watched the pro- ceedings of the trial. Mr. Peixotto stated that the prosecution exvected to prove that when Von Tiede- Giddiness, Fullness and Swelling after meals, Di: Sleép, Frightful Dreams and all Nervous and Tre: are caused bv constipation, as most of them are.

It was expected man was inaicted on a charge of forgery for signing the name of Harriet P. Christy to a deed, by which act he obtained a large sum of money, he made a successful de- fense by committing another felony— namely perjury. Von Tiedeman knew Mrs. Spencer had been accused of personating another woman when signing and acknowledging a conveyance of real estate, and as he also knew. that Mrs. Speacer was out of the State he secured a photograph of ner and swore that it was a picture of the woman who had imposed on him by calling her- self Mrs. Christy. To this story the jury gave credence and returned a verdict of not guilty, evidently believing that Von Tiedeman was the victim of a craity woman. Mrs. Spencer read of the trial in the newspapers and at_once returned from New York to San Francisco to clear her name of the stigma which Von Tiedeman had tried to cast upon it. She saia she stood ready to prove that she was not in California at the date of the acknowledg- ment of the deed purporting to be signed by Mrs. Christy, and that therefore Von Tiedeman bad sworn falsely when he identified her picture as the likenessof the woman' who impersonated Mrs. Christy. An incident which bade fair to be ad van- tageous to Von Tiedeman was the fact that the picture produced by him at his former trial was simply what is techni- ¢ally known as a proof, that is, it was not a finished photograph, and the name ot | that tmis would render it impossible to find the original negative, but by diligent inquiry it was finally located, and Judge Wallace ruled that it was just as valid, so faras proof is concerned, as the picture presented in Judge Belcher's court by Von Tiedeman, With this understanding the trial was commenced, and yesterday’s session was consamed in reading the testimony given in Judge Belcher’s. court when Von Tiede- man was on trial for forgery. PITOAIRN ISLAND. A Gallant Captain Refuses to Allow a Young Man to Desert His Wife. The bark KEvesham Aboey got in last night from Rangoon, bringing news from Pitcairn 1sland. He touched there No- vember 22, obtained vegetables and was hospitably received. His report continues: Two young men wished u passage to San Francisco in my ship; which at first [ saw no harm in compiying with. Later I heard Mr. { Christian asking them the reason of their wanting to quit the island, where they haa all they required and were very happy were they content. I hagd a long talk Witk the three principal men concerning them, who told me the young men had no money and nowhere to find & permanent home when they arrived in the States themselves, advising mé not to take them away. Ithen learned that one of the ladies on Doard was the wife of oneof the young men. I asked her if she wished her husband to leave her. In answer I got a de- cided “no,” which decided me not to take them. After remaining five hours off the island I filled the mainyard, bidding adieu and receiving a godspeed from a most inter- eslingdpeo le.
