Eleven vears ago F'ritz was elocted treasurer of Madison county, Nebraska, Ho = served two terins and svugut a third but was defeated. Then came an ac- countiug and & revelation. A short- ago of $16,000 was discovered, and about that time Ewitz decamped. An indictment was found against him and criminal proceedings commenced, but were held ‘1n aveyange while F'ritz returned and endeavored to effect a scttiement, He faced his accusers down with mora than ordinary courago aud the matter was adjusted vy his turning over all his property to the county.

This was a 'gaw of B650,472 over the estimated product of the preceding year. The steady increase of recant years in both the silver product and the tonnage output was maintained, and, as a rule, proportion- ately in all parts of the territory. A note- worthy exception is Juab county, whera ihere was a falling off, due mainly to the towering in grade of the outputof a few of tho large properties. The showing, however, for Juab county in tonnage and in’ gold and silver output is still a gratifying one, None of the large producers of the preted- Ing year sro missing from the year's list, but as a rule such properties show an increased product, On tho other nand, it may be said thero has been no addition of any importance to the list of produciug properties during the past pear. 3 Three new districts bavo added to the out- put of the territory, Marysvale, in Piute county, while not strictly speaking & new district, has, after many yoars of inactivity, shown renewed activity and may be ciassed minong the producing séctions. La Plata, in Cache county, and the stretch of country in Juab and Tooele counties, anown generally as the Deop Creek rogion, D’l‘y be mentioned as producing sections. 'he last mentioned has not added materi- adly to the output of the precious metals, for the reason that owing to the lack of trans- portation oniy the high grade ores could be sent to the market, but with the advent of promisod railroad facilities & largely in- oreased output may be looked for.

Californin’s Greatest Need. C. P, Huntington varies the monotony of bis duties as president of the Southern Pacific railroad with literary work. HHe is at present busy writing newspaper and maga- zine articles, in which ho contends that it is not in the interest of California to offer sub- sidies to a competing railroad, that the Southern Pacific system can do all the work that 1s to be aone, and that one road can do it at less cost than two. While it is true that the Southern Pacific has for years de- clared the decisions for California courts and has magoanimously attended to the election of stato and national legislators for Cali- fornia, @ recent speech of ex-Governor Pacheco of that state amply refutes the lit- erary railroad presidout. Mr. Pacneco says: 1 cun say truthfully that San Francisco is the pride of the state of (alifornia, but it is noticeable that its prosperity seems to be on, the wane. We have a rallroad, but of how much benefit is it to us! It is the only road we have, and in consequenco weare isolated, 50 to spoak, from the rest of tho world. The new states which have been formed about us have wooed many from California. 1 do not think we have any more population now than wo had twenty-three or twenty-four years ago. I feel that it could bo more pros- Dberous If we had the moans of incroasing our population and thatsome grand move What we uneed, sud sorely need, is & competing rail- road, ded. ‘The protracted strike of the Caur d’Alene miners has ended in a vietory for the strikers.

Interal injuries and financial loss were also caused him by the wreck, which. it is alleged, was due to the 1osecure condition of tho’ raiis and of the foundation of the roadoed. So apparent was the danger, says the complain- ant, that McMahon, tho owner of tho circus, solivited the conductor to go very slow, but the latter replicd that he knew mis business and forthwith permitted the train to move along at an excessive and dangerous rate of speed. A Califor & Tree. A novel scheme is on foot to advertise Cali- fornia at the World’s fair, and there is every likelihood of 1t being carried out. Itis no other than to exhibit at Chicago one of the state's greatest atiractions, if mot the greatest, & huge redwood of the species sequola gigantes, or big tree. It is well known that thestate and federal governments have taken every precaution to preserve these trees from destruction or mutilation, and all the groves have been re- served from private entry and sale, Even for so laudable a purpose as that of attracting attention to the wonders of the state the gen- tlomen who have the scheme 1n hand wouid have found it impossible to secure one of the big trees, In fact, it would probably require an act of congress before any tree in the reserved groves could be touched with the woodman’s ax. It came to their knowledge, however, that on & strip of land adjoining the grove, in Mariposa county, and owned by George B. Sperry of Stockton, wero sov- eral treos which wore availabie for their purpose, over which the government had no control. Negotiations were opened with Mr. Spoery and he was asked to put a price on one of bis trees. He replied that the sequolas wore not on tho market, and only consented to namo a figuro when it was represented to him that it would be a great attraction at the Colum- bian exposition, and would probably cause more comment aud draw more attention to the natural wonders of the Golden state than any otber single exhibit possibly could. An arrangoment was finally reached with Mr. Sperry, and he consented that one of bis monster redwoods should be felled. The tree will be trimmed and brought to San Fran- cisco, 8 barce being employed for the pur- pose of transportation, as the size of the forest giaut precludes the use of anything pecially constructed train, Tho tree is 800 foet high and at some d tance from the ground is thirty feet in diam- oter, thun which there are few larger in the famous groves of Mariposa or the King river canon, It 1s estimated that it will cost §3,000 to laud the big tree in San Francisco. Here 1t will be placed op exhibition while the special train that 1s to carry Jt across the coutinent is in process of construction. On reaching Chicago the great tree will be set up on &5:rip of ground just across the way from the main entrance to the fair, which has been leased for that purpose. 1t will be bored so \\Ifl‘}wl‘lonl may pass into the interior aud ranged around the wall of bark booths will be set up, as which Califor- nia wines, fruits and curiosities, such as toilet boxes made of polished redwood and the like, will be sold.
