In All Requiremsnts the Site | Favored by the People Excels. Offers Great Advaatages Over Santa Monica as a Shipping Point. LOS ANGELES, Cavn, Aprii 2—The complete report of the Harbor Commis- sion which recently relected San Pedro in preference to Santa Monica as the site for the deep-sea harbor for the Sonthern Cali- fornia coast las been published. Every polnt iscoversd and the board has appa- rently said the last word possible about the harbor question, The report discusses the construction of a breakwater at the respestive places, approaches, facilities for refuge and all the varions details. In sumiming up in favor of San Pedro it says: Considered deep-water harbor for in- ternational ai oreign trade. the advantages which S8an Pedro bas for handling traffic and for approaches by land are great; considered as a harbor for the coasting trade, the facili- tlex for handling outweigh the disa vantage of greater distance from north- ern ports; considered as & harbor of refuge, the location at San Pedro is likely to be used more than the other, thongh the dif- ference may not be great. Considered with reference to future enlargement and exten- sion, San Pedro offers gre: es over Port’ Los Angeles. These advantages mean that a deep-water harbor at San Pedro would be more useful tban a deep-water harbor at Port Los Angeles. In the consideration of all matters bearing upon the selection of the harbor site, this board has constantly keptIn view the neces- sity for such Klllll and provisions, within the meaning of the statute, as will best meet all possible harbor requirements—both those of the prosent and those that may arise from future developenmis. This invoives much more than the simple location of & breakwater or devising imper- fect facilities to meet in a more or less limited manner some of the principal requir ts of & deep-water harbor for commerce and of refuge. It has appeared clearly the duty of this board to select that location which will be capable of development ata reasonable cost commensurate with the growth of all classes of commerce on the coast of Southern California, and which under that develop- t will afford 1n the highest degree the various land and water facilities churacteris- tic of a complete deep-water harbor. Although the location at Port Los Angeles affords Jl 1hat is needful for a satisfaciory harbor of refuge, it is deficient in the facilities necesary for the harbor for commerce con- templated under the law, At San Pedro, on L the other hand, a large expenditure has al- ready been made for the improvement of the channel leading into the inner harbor and in the inner harbor itself. ‘The series of examiuations made under the directions of this board also thow that any | further improvement that may bs needed can readily be mede, and that the possibilities tor the further development of the inserior har- bor are equal to any demand upon it which the future can be expected to make. 1t i the conc.usion of this buard, therefore, that the opportunity for a harbor of refuge as planned for San Pedro and the svailability of both_the interior harbor and Wilmingion Lagoon for improvemeuts and development to any extent that can now be anticipated meet more fully the raquirements of the law than tne possibilities offered at Port Los Angeles. gz ki 0JA! GOLD DISCOVERIES. Hundreds of Prospectors Attracted to the Valley by N:ws of a Recent Discovery. LOS ANGELES, CaL., April 3.—Accord- ing to the latest advices from Nordhoff, in the Ojai Valley, a big sirike made there by two prospectors has occasioned con- siderable excitement. The ore is not high grade. It wasa few days ago that news of the discovery reached Nordhoff, and for a while it seemed that another whirl- wind of excitement was about to sweep the valley. The news was to the effect that the miners engaged in the Bonanza shaft had struck a heavy deposit of free aurifer- ore, and by way of confirmation of this report a pan containing a quantity of the pulverized quartz, heavily impreg- nated with particies of gold and sub- merged in water, was exhibited about the village. €ne effect was instantaneous, Moved by one impulse the rush to the &flgglngs began. Orville Cline and T. B. Cloyd, the owners of the Bonanza, stated that there were fully 500 excited prospectors at- tracted 10 the vicinity of their location within a few hours after the strike was made public. An examination disclosed that at a | depth of six feet the discoverers had found two well-defined auriferous ledges, separ- ated by a three-inch stratum of rich yel- low clay. Old miners concur in the belief that the two have an invaiuable possession in the Bo- nanza mine. The past week has witnessed considera- ble activity in the group of locations in and about Royal Gorge. The Big Six, Blue Ledge and Bonanza companies have at last got fairly down to business and every exertion is being made to unearth the treasure which is supposed to lle not many feet below the surface. g Lx L P gk Washington Sattlers Win, SEATTLE, Wasn., April 3. —The Cham- ber ot Commerce is in receipt of a telegram from Congressman James Hamilton Lewis in which he states that the Secre- tary of the Interior this morning told him that the forestry reserve order would be revoked within ten days to the extent of permitting all mineral developments. =it The Orcgon at Port Orchard.

M.,” Glessner, who is here, atates that his mining partner, Ad Langstaff, left the city abouta week ago for the north, and wore his (Glessner’s) hat.
