From an article recently published in “he following: “While the prinvipal product of ‘the mineral world in California is gold, Ake there are many other substances} mined, which swell the total valuation ef the mineral output of the State to upwards of $27,000,000 a year. Several of these products are not mined in other States. Quicksilver, for instance, is nowhere else mined on this continent, and since we began working it California has produced upwards of $78,000,000 worth, and continues to produce it at thevrate of over a million dollars a year. Luring the last seven“teen years the total silver product has been over $20,000,000, Approximately there are 19,832 miners employed in the gold, silver, lead and copper mines of the State. The counties in which over athousand miners are’ employed are Amador, Calaveras, El Dorado, Kern, Nevada, Placer, Shusta, Siskiyou, Trinity and Tuolumne. The highest number is employed in Nevada county (1,949) and this county is also the largest gold producer. All tbe borax in this country comes from California and Nevada, and eleven-twelfths of this product is from California. The annual output of, this substance is valued at upwards of $1,000,000. The State produces more rock asphalt than any other, and is the only one yielding natural liquid asphalt. Maznesite, used in paper manufacture and for furnace lining-, is mined here only. The only product of chrome in the United States is from California, and all the untimony is from this State and Nevada. The only platinum found in the United States is taken with the gold from the beach black sands of the auriferous gravel mines. _-—-+e@eo-+ — HIGHER TAXES. It Is All On Account of the Increase in the State Rate. The tax rate in this county will be abont fifteen cents higher on the $100 worth of taxable property than it was! last year. This is on account of the itcrease in the State rate. The Board of Supervisors will meet on Monday, and according to the schedule made up by County Clerk Arbogast, it does not seem possible to fix the rate at less than $2.55 outside, and $2.15 inside, which would be apportioned about as follows: General fund, $1,199;’road fund, 40 cents; school fund, 35 cents; State fund, 60.01 cents. Besides this there is an additional special school tax in Truckee district of 30 cents; Grass Valler school district, 20 cents; Nevada school district, 25 cents. What Does He Mean? The Marysville Democrat says: “Does the Transcript contend that a Board of Supervisors or -the Auti-Debris Association can grant a permit to operate & mine, when such mine is enjoined by decree of a court ?” The editor of the Democrat must have been beside himself when he propounded such aquery. What is the fellow driving at? Even a Chinaman knows that no supervisors or Anti-Debris Association have any authority whatever to grant a permit to mine, whether a mine is enjoined or not: Come, Thomas, tell as whither thou art drifting. ain ipa pe i To Announce State Exhibits. ~ A member of a ‘a San Francisco firm has offered $100 toward a fund for the expense of publishing an extra coupon for every railroad ticket issued with San Francisco as a terminal ‘point, on which be proposes there shall be printed an invitation to visit the State Board of Trade free exhibit in the ferry building.

The ‘Third County’ That Has Refased . {0 Disobey the Law. The Board of Suppervisors. of Yolo County at the last meeting allowed a bill for books pre: e2‘ed by H. 8. Crocker & Co., and amounting to $13u 34, County Kaditor Chas. Hadsall refused to audit he bill giving as his reason section 21 of the.county government act of 1897, a part of which reads as follows: “No: su pplies; ‘printing, stationary 6r books shall be procured of any persons or firm whose. paper bas not’ been published or whose place of busingss has not been established in the county for oue year or more prior to the time for fixing said prices.” + Fe Pricing a Pair of Trousers. Lord Brampton was on one occasion presiding over.a, case in which the plaintif’ was giving evidence against a man who had stolen.a pair of trousera from bis shop, “How much were. the trousers?’ yueried Hawkins, “Well,” replied the. plaintiff, “it de pends who wants to buy them. \L.sell them to one man for 30 shillings, to another for 25, bit’ you, can have them for 23 and 6.”+ és “Sir,” cried Hawkins angrily, “I want yon to tell me how much those trousers are worth!” “Well,” replied the plaintiff, “shall . we say 22 shillings te you?” “Louk here,” thinderedHawkins, “if ; you do not instantly tell me what those trousers are worth, I’ send you to jail for 14 days for contempt of court.” “Well, well!” replied the frightened plaintiff conciliatingly; “you may. have them for a guinea. I’m giving them away; still you may*have them at that price.”’ Even the stern aspect of Judge Hawkins could not stop the roar of laughter which broke out on hearing the reply, a roar inwhich Hawkins; after a few. minutes, joined himself. Snake Eat Snake. : A sight was witnessed one day at the Zoo that has been the talk of the people managing the animals of , the garden ever since. Keeper Myers, who has charge of the snake cages, was about to feed the reptiles, when, to his horror, he saw oye blacksnake measuring six feet devotring Atsmate, which was about the same length and: size of itself. The. reptile ‘had swalfoot and a half-still: remained outside its mouth. It was‘‘lying quietly, and about ozce every 80 seconds a swallowing motion would seize it, when as much as two inches of its meal would disappear. Myers opened » the cage’ and, grabbing the powerless. snake by the tail, began tugging away to release it. This proved to be no easy task, as the cannibalistically “Inclined mongter had a firm*hold on its breakfast. “Aft J er several minutes of pulling. that brought the perspiration out on the keeper the snake was set at liberty.

Mr. Mills denied the truth of the statement and characterized the article in question as childish and vicious, He said: *There--never has been any controversy between Mr. Rennyon and myself, and I don’t recognize anything in that statement which ever occurred. 1t is not the policy of the railroad to injure the State exbibit; in fact; by our exhibit we are reinforcing the State exhibit. We have money enough to make our exhibit a success and the board of directors has detailed me to Paris. to. look after our display. Iam to b3 ac‘companied. by a representative from the passenger department, and my personal hope is that the board’of directore will detail Mr. E.O. McCormick. Ihave only to add that I do not wish to, get into any controversy with any persons over the matter, nor do I intend todoso.

Lord Brampton was on one occasion presiding over.a, case in which the plaintif’ was giving evidence against a man who had stolen.a pair of trousera from bis shop, “How much were. the trousers?’ yueried Hawkins, “Well,” replied the. plaintiff, “it de pends who wants to buy them. \L.sell them to one man for 30 shillings, to another for 25, bit’ you, can have them for 23 and 6.”+ és “Sir,” cried Hawkins angrily, “I want yon to tell me how much those trousers are worth!” “Well,” replied the plaintiff, “shall . we say 22 shillings te you?” “Louk here,” thinderedHawkins, “if ; you do not instantly tell me what those trousers are worth, I’ send you to jail for 14 days for contempt of court.” “Well, well!” replied the frightened plaintiff conciliatingly; “you may. have them for a guinea. I’m giving them away; still you may*have them at that price.”’ Even the stern aspect of Judge Hawkins could not stop the roar of laughter which broke out on hearing the reply, a roar inwhich Hawkins; after a few. minutes, joined himself. Snake Eat Snake. : A sight was witnessed one day at the Zoo that has been the talk of the people managing the animals of , the garden ever since. Keeper Myers, who has charge of the snake cages, was about to feed the reptiles, when, to his horror, he saw oye blacksnake measuring six feet devotring Atsmate, which was about the same length and: size of itself. The. reptile ‘had swalfoot and a half-still: remained outside its mouth. It was‘‘lying quietly, and about ozce every 80 seconds a swallowing motion would seize it, when as much as two inches of its meal would disappear. Myers opened » the cage’ and, grabbing the powerless. snake by the tail, began tugging away to release it. This proved to be no easy task, as the cannibalistically “Inclined mongter had a firm*hold on its breakfast. “Aft J er several minutes of pulling. that brought the perspiration out on the keeper the snake was set at liberty.

Mr. Mills denied the truth of the statement and characterized the article in question as childish and vicious, He said: *There--never has been any controversy between Mr. Rennyon and myself, and I don’t recognize anything in that statement which ever occurred. 1t is not the policy of the railroad to injure the State exbibit; in fact; by our exhibit we are reinforcing the State exhibit. We have money enough to make our exhibit a success and the board of directors has detailed me to Paris. to. look after our display. Iam to b3 ac‘companied. by a representative from the passenger department, and my personal hope is that the board’of directore will detail Mr. E.O. McCormick. Ihave only to add that I do not wish to, get into any controversy with any persons over the matter, nor do I intend todoso. Our exhibit will be a great deal of printed matter and we can in no way conflict with the State exhibit. . a ae _ Qe ° The Tone of Ontove Undvadiity.

These are the condition causing preciptation in Plumas county, brought about independently of the presence or absence of our commercialtimber.
