Campaigning is starting early in the Republican . primary race among those who would like to unseat. Governor Edmund-G, Brown. A week ago this morning Joseph Shell, minority leader in the Assembly, attended a breakfast in Grass Valley , with nearly 20 local GOP leaders. Shell says he isin the race to stay, regardless of which other candidates vie for the post. Reason: he feels that he isthe best informed Republican in the state on California fiscal affairs. And Shell says the fiscal affairs of California are in such poor shape that they will be the core of the campaign that he predicts will oust Gov. Brown. Within the next few months, Shell predicts the fiscal fortunesin California will force the present administrationto propose new tax bills of $100,000,000 per year, or make a cut in state expenditures to the same tune. Shell suggests a cut in state personnel. He says the state staffin the past two yearshas been growing at a rate four times faster than the population, and says such a cut is-possible. wu we BY DEAN THOMPSON i SIXTEEN-TO-ONE MINE..One of the.few operating gold mines in Calif. is this mine at Alleghany.
