A determined effort on the partof the Cali- fornin Miners’ Association to dosomething in Washiuzton to hasten the construction of ibe restraining dams, for which $500,000 has long been uppropriated, will be made imme- diately after Congress convenes. The last State convention of the assoclation adopted a series of resolutions urgiug upon the Secretary of War and the Chief of En- gineers the importance of the work to tne State and the necessity for dolng something toward carrying out the work. A committee of thirteen was appointed to hasten the work in every manner possible, and in accordance with the action of thatcommittee a few days ago Secretary Julian Sonntag will this week forward to Secretary Alger and the chief of engineers copies of the resolutions, and & commuaication further urglng the import- ance of the work. S:milar communications will be sent to all the members of the Cali- fornia delegation who are expected to do all they can in the way of stirring up the War Department. Something definite will likeiy be learned about the prospectsof dam con- struction this winter and possibly some littie progress may be effected. As the chief cause of all the long delay has been the fact that the three Government eugineers hers have been overloaded with the fortification and all the other Government engineering work of the Pacific Coast, and bave had little time todo the added work of the California Dabris Com- mission, which they compose, ihere may be an effort made to pul tie woik into other hands or to provide them more assistance. Brief Reviews of the Industry in Sev- eral Connties. The following brief statements by special correspond nts of THE CALL ace interesting as giving a general ides of the activity of the year in several of the mining counties: In Riverside County 100 stamps have been added this year to the 150 of 1896, giving the county 250 in twenty-five milis, ot whicn ten have been put up this yesr. There 1s greater activity in Placer County thnn for many years. There are reported to be 126 mines inactual operation, of which thirty- seven are quirtz, running about 200 stamps, The others ure driit and river properties, and the latier are being worked with greater suc- coss than ever beiore. It is esimated that 2000 men are earning & livelihood by mining in P.acer County. A report from Quincy says: “More pros- pecting ard development work is being done in P.umas County than for many years past, and though no great finds heve been made, the outiook for next season is more than favor- able, The snows will in a few daysstop all but underground mining until next spring.” The following correspondence is from Ma- dera here are more mines in operation to-day and being developed than at any time in the bistory of the county. The Louisa mine, owned by Shaw Bros. situete sbove Kay- mond, has proved a valuable property. The Gambetta mine st Grub Gulch, owned by Leonard & Mills, is now down 600 feet and continues (o sustain iis good reputation; Bill, owned by Sheriff Westiall and others, is of the best miues in the county. The ore from this mine is being milled at the Mam- mou'h mine; it was recently bonded for #100.000. The copper mines in the Daulton fizid have been yiclding well and are giving employment to « number of men.” Tie condition and life of mining in Tvol- umne Couniy is indicated by the following special correspondence from Sonora: “The number of mills in Tuolume County is thirty, having, in all, 427 stamps, of which number fifty-two were added thisyear. Of this number 237 are dropping and 160 are idle. A very conservative estimate of the gela yiela from the quartz mines of this county for the year 1897 wilt approximate $1.809,000. In addition to the above mines there are twenty more zoing ones, which are steadily extracting ore and have thousands of tons of rich ore on their dumps awaiting treat- ment. Many of these wilk erect stampmills within the next year.” El Dorado County presents the following showing: Miils, 54; built this year, 7; stamps, 587; stamps now. dropoing, 297; samps added this year, 67. A hundred more stamps will be dropping within ninety days. Be- sides these mills with an aggregate cepacity of 125 stamps are being built and will be in overation in six months. Preliminary work 18 being done for a blg electrie-power plant on theSouth Fork cf the Yuba R ver which will furnish light and power for mines in the county. Some Figures From San Bernardino’s Golden Deserts. 7The gold mining activity in San Bernardino County is partiy measured by the fact that during the first ten months of this year 301 mining locations have been filed for record. They are dividea by disiricts as follows: Vir- ginia Dale, 241; Hocumac (Baldy Mountain), 24; Beggs, 6; Burroughs, 2; Black Hawk, 4; Old Woman’s Mountain, 7; Oro Grande, 5; Ord Mountain, 12. The winter aciivity in pros- pecting on the desert has just begun, and tue vear’s record of ciaims filed will be consid- ersbly in excess of the number given. Some of these claims will urdoubtediy develop into gooa mines, There are now eight mills run- ning 215 stamps in the county,as follows: Vanderbilt, 45; Barstow, 1 Victor, 10; Oro rande, 5; Culico, 80; Holcomb Valley, 25; Virginia Dale, 30; Providence Mountain, 10. A Glance at the Most Active Districts of San Diego. Defiance, a new district, has been developed entirely within the ycar 1897, and its output of gold is aiready large. The same may be said of Mesquite district, where the famous Bay Horse mine autracted the atieniton of capitalists and led 1o expensive litigation— the sure sign of & rich property. This litiga- tion has been settled and development work is going on. During the year the work at Hedges, on the Golden Cross group, has been systematized under charge of & receiver appointed by the Superlor Court, and the 100-stamp mill, the only one of the size in the State under a single roof, turned out $46,000 in gold during the month of October. At Potho.es three small stamp miils were put in, and are about ready to work. At Picacho Euglish capital has been at- tracted, with chauces for investment on a heavy sca e, on extensive low-grade proposi- tions. Ex-Senator Dorsey, Jesse R. Grant and Bonator A. J. O’Conor are the owne: Several of the Juliam district’s ten-stamp mills resumed operations during the year in consequence of important finds in various parts of the camp. The discovery of rich cop- per prospects near Eacinitas has led to nu- merous loeations in the neighborhood. Notes From a Bunch of Great M Amador. The following notes of some of the great mother lode mines strung along the few miles between Amador and Jackson, in Amedor County, are condensed from an interesting letter in yesterday’s issue of the Mining ana Scientific Press: At the old Keystone, which has produced #15,000,000, a'1d which was onee to be closed, & systematic exploration for ore Lodies fn the npper ievels is going on. The shait is down 1400 fect, but the ore i8 now coming from the 700 level, where the vein is 100 ieet wige. 1t has been proved that in the upper works there are still as large and rich ore bodies as were ever found in the past and that the mine has & large fu‘ure befere it. Three mills, oze of forty stamps, are running steudily. The shaft of the South Epring Hill Consoli- dated has been sunk to the 1200-foot level. 8 in The famous Hetty Green owns the old Eure- ka, and she 1s holding on to it and keeping it idle. There are large bodies of low-grade ore in the upper levels and unknown wealth in depths that have not been pierced, and many are eager to buy the mine, but Hetty is not seiling. The shaft at the Wildman is now down to 1300 feet and the vein is from 3 to 75 feet wide. The Wildman Company is working the Mahoney under bond. Each mine has a foriy- stamp mill. Both mines have been well opened up and put in shape with the proceeds of operations. ‘The South Eurcka, which will soon be the first mive to receive electric power from the Blue Lakes srstem, is down to 1250 leet on a vein irom 6 inches to 15 feet in width, Tweaty s.amps are dropping. Sixiy stamps are to be aaded to the forty at the Baliol mine, which is being operated with great efficiency. The ore is now being quar- ried out of an open cut 100 feet wide and deep, and 270 tons a day are being worked, at the remarkabiy low cost of 85 cenis a ton for mining and milling. It is expected that when the mill is enlarged and machinery for more rapid bandiing of the ore put in, the cost will be reduced to 50 cents a ton. Thé great Kennedy is crushing 100 tons of ore a day. Tnisshait, the deepest in vertical depth in California, is down 2275 fect, and the vein, which is rich—though how rich is not known—is from 2 inches to 20 feet wide. At the Argonaut & new 40-stamp mill 18 run- ning, the shaft is down 13850 feet, with siuk- ing steadily going on. The Oneida, whichis being reacveloved at great expense by the exploration company of London, has the finest hoist in the State. The new shaft which is to b sunk without stop- ping to 1800 ieet, is down 1300. A crosscut will be run when the 1500 levei isreached. The Almashaft is down to 1000 feet and levels are being run at 950 feet. The Zeila is an exampie of what can'be done with low-grade ores o the mother lode. Ore that will not average §4 a ton is being taken from a depth of 1000 feet and crushed in a 40- stamp mill. The mill has a five-ton chlorine- tion plant. Itissteadily paying dividends. Aunother example is tne Monte Cristo, near Volcano. The vein, from 60 to 200 feet wide, carries an average value of $2a ton. It is mined and milled atan average cost of 60 cents a ton. Notes From the Field. The organization of the Butte County Min- ers’ Association has been effected with a membership of 160, and with W. E. Duucan Sr. president and s. 8, Boynton secretary. At the Providence mine, Nevada County, the new hoisting rig is in place on the 1780 level, 250 feet from the main shaft in the south drift. From this point sinking is to be continued to & further depth of 1000 feet,and when this is accomplished the vertical depth in th: mine will be 2780 feet, or 500 fect deeper than the present deepest shaft, the Kennedy. The riew shaftis down 100 feet in a seven-foot ledge of rich ore. At Bodic 250 men are working at $4 a day, the highest wages of any camp in the State. Utsh’s pumice-stone deposits are now sup- plying over 60 per cent of that articie in this country, and with u tariff of 6 per ton the peoned product of foreign rivals is practically shutout. We have vast quantities of pumice in Mono County, between here and Mam- motn, particularly around Mono Lake, in which vicinity there are enormous quantities of it, but cost of transportation “knocks the sand out of i,” so far as profit is concerned. But we may vet have a railroad to tide- water.—Bodie Time:=-Index. Asbestos is found in large quantities in Butte County, particularly in the range of mountains between Hurleton and Forbes- town. Very handsome specimens have been obtained from the Middle Fork of Feather kKiver and from the mountains east of that stream. The largest deposits aud the finest aspestos, however, found in the county occur in the upper part of Butte toward the Gravel Range region.—Orovilie Register. Judge C. F. Loti, who has lived in or near Orovilie since 1849, made the following esti- mates for the Register At B.dwell Bar, including both sides of the Middle Fork, to its junction with the North Fork, irom 1849 to the present time, $5,000,- 000 was mine WRECKAGE. BY HOWARD V. SUTHERLAND. Thanks to the interest taken by Mr. de Young in the Park Museum, the people of San Fran- cisco will now have an opportunity of gazing upon & lock of hair clipped from the head of the firstand only Napoleon. That this lock of hair Is genuine and not made to order in a Brummagem wig fuctory, various testi- monials and afiildavits go to show, but it wiil still be difficult to convince the skeptic that the lock 1s not British goods or gathered from the marble floor of Professor Slather's ton. sorial parlors on Mission street. Judging by the numbsr of the Emperor's locks to be seen in the leading museums of the worid, Napoieon’s hair must have been of a length exceeding that of Absalom. France, Germany and England are well supplied with these curiosities, the Khedive and the Sultan bave a lock apiece, and mauy a bald French- man consoles himself for his own loss by carrying upon his person a portion of the foliage of the little corporal-general. The aflidavits attesting the genuineness of this valusble aadition to the Park Museum are in French, a language wita which I have persistently refused to acquaint myself owing to the fact that it is generally understood to be an immoral tongue. I am therefore un- ab'e to express an opinion on their merit and can only advise visitors to accept them with caution. For all I know that lock of hair may be the advence agent of a new hair-restorer. Speaking of the Park Museum reminds me that the following gifts have been donated by public-spirited citizens during the lsst few days: A toothbrush, said to have be- longed to the late George Washing- ton end donated by Mr. Obadia Sprills; a cracked mirror, found in an od residence on Rincon Hill, donated by the Hon. Sam Rainey; five 10-cent Japanese fans, donated by Oki Poki, a prominent Japanese employment agent of this city, and two imit: tion Deift plates (one cracked) and loaned by Herr Harrenheim von Hudenkammer. A poor Woman who was being conveyed to the Recefving Hospital in the Patrol Wagon was jolted so terribly that her Spirit felt ag- grieved and forsook her. The Coroner’s Jury, being composed for the greater part of Gentlemen whose effusions are regularly refused by the Editor of a Colored Supplement, agreed that she died “‘of natural Cruses.” Moral: The condition of our Streets fur- nishes rich material for Mirth. A fit punishment for Captain Jenks would heve been io confine him ina horse stall for ten days, with nothing to eat save kindling- wood. We have not yet learned how to make the punishment fit the crime, and the sooner we do the sooner dumb animals will be treated less crueily than they are at present. SAN QUEN1IN, Nov. 18.—The Hon. Scraggin Blvdge arrived here three days ago, and after inspecting the premises was escorted with fit- ting ceremony 1o cell 9, murderers’ row. Mr. Bludge thoughtinlly terminated the troubles of tour people in Kern County & few years ago. Tiring of travel he has come here and expects to remain until the State can find suitableand remunerative employment for him elsewhere. Members of the press calied on the distin- guished visitor this afternoon and asked him for his views on free silver and the higier cdu- cation. Mr. Bludge repifed that he was not at liberty to speak on the former subjac!, and thatas to the latter he had never been near enough to death to have formed any opinion, Since his arrival here Mr. Bludge has gained three pounds of flesh. He isa gentieman of very distingue appearance. Having watched the equisine and oxytuber- line tests with much interest and no little envy, I take pleasure in informing the medi- cal fraternity that I have discovered a sure cure for that common iliness known as short- ness ot breath. The micrococet of this disease, 1claim, can be overcome by an injection with “assinine,” a colorless compound formed of hydrated strap oil and the matter found in the mucous membranes of the ordinary Cali- fornia mule. The mule is relieved of this matter by means of the single-action stomach- pump, ana the strap oil is obtained by & method of which I alone know the secret, and which Isball not divulge excopt for & sub- stantial consideration, for, having made this discovery known to the people, my expulision {from the State Horticultural Society will un- doubtedly follow, as & matter of course; but I shall, at least, have the plessure of having shown to Drs. d’Evelyn and Hirschfelder that they are not the only pebb es on the beach. If the private-spirited gentlemen who are conducting Durrant’'s campaign egainst the hangman will only permitus 1o dispose of him for murdering Blanche Lamoat, we shall be oaly too glad 10 proceed and try him for mak- ing away with Minnie Williams. If as his at- torneys state, Durrant is really desirous of be- ing declared innocent of the latter charge, ne will prove it by removing the only obstacie to the trial by paying the penalty for the former offense. We ure certainly entitled to some lit- tle return for the momey expendesd in his Pprosecution. ‘ it is cult to see why the mere fact that Mrs. Lease refused to accept & home off:red her by admiring friends in the East was con- sidered worthy of being telegraphed from one end of the country to the other. Mr. Lease and the baby are comfortably provided for in a respectab.c boarding-house, and the head of the family would not know what to do with a home if she had it. Even Mrs. Lease knows the folly of owning a white elephant. Considering the abusive fury with which Judge Lorigun of San Jose weut for a juror Who had the temerity to criticize him, I would recommend the good people of that city to en- case his nands in boxing-gloves lest he rend in pieces and destroy the woolsack upon which he sits.

ADVENTURES or A SEVERED HEAD The doctor occupies a chair in one of the local medical colleges, and has whiskers— that is as far as the description can go. A colleague of the doctor holds the posi- tion of anatcmical demonsirator in the same colieze, und it fell out recently that he stood in need of a bead !or dissection. Now, it bappens that doctor No. 1 is connected with a hospital, and to him No. 2 appealed for help in supplying the deficiency in the matter of heads, No. 1 readily undertook to fill the want, and in doing so made a story which he considers funny, and tells, with every in- dication of being sincere in his belief, to his professional and semi-professional friends. Shortly afier the professor applied to me, said tue dcctor, a woman died in the hospital. She was one of these un- kaown and friendless beings who drift into the paupers’ plai at our cemeterics if unclaimed for scientific purposes, so I put in a ciaim on herand appropriated the bead. I had arranged with the doctor to leave the head in the back ball at tae college, to the door of which I had a key, so I wrapped it in paper and siowed it a baskat and weut on about my duties in the nospital. It was late before I got through, and was drizzling rain when I boarded the car tc go to the college. When it came to paying my fare I dis- covered that I had left my keys at home, and I knew the college janitor could not be found at that hour, so I decided to take the head home with me. The car was crowded with damp people, when it stopped to take in an additional crowd, and a large, middle-aged woman with an umbreila made her way through the jammed aisle as no one but a fat wo- man can, and crowded her ample propor- tions between my elf and a young woman on my right. The fat party carried her umbrella in a defiant manner, so I moved away from her as far as possible, consigning her to oblivion, as weil as I could consign with some hundreds of pounds of her form resting on my lap. The basket was on the floor of the car at my feet, andas 1 had covered it with several papers I did not give it a thought until a little scream, ullout of proportion to her siz2, welling up from the fat woman and an exclama- tion of norror from the young woman called my attention to them. Then I saw the fat dame hastily re- moving her umbrella from my basket, where she, gnided by the evil star that dominates the actions of fat women, haa poked it, disarrangzing the papers to such an extent that the face of the head wit looked up at the frightened passengers like a mute victim of some dark and sin- ful deed appzaiing to them for vengeance. ***Woof, murder!" snoriea the fat woman, and the man hanzing tc the strap above my head, and between whose feet the basket stood, looked down, then bolt- ea for the door. Ibent over the evidence of my guilt and attempted to hide It, while the people in that end of the car who had seen it crowded upon each other in an effort to give the red-handed mur- derer more room. Ilost no time in tak- ing advantage of the space left clear and made my way to the front door, where 1 dropped off the car with my shameful load, feeling very much like the murdsrer they had taken me to be, and which I would undcubtedly have beer if I bad had that fat woman in some seques- tered spot just then. 3 3 I waited until a car came with room outside for the baski and myself, momentarily expecting a policeman to rush breathlessly up and clap handcuffs upon my wrists. When I reached home I found a message which directed me to call at once at the house of a patient, an apoplectic old lady, and as the message had been delivered half an hour before I arrived, I felt that I had no time to tarry. So I sent for my carriage and rushed into the house, leaving the basket in the dining- room. Ithrew the remedies I was most likely to need into my case and rushed out again, forgetting to give the servant any instructions concerning the basket, It transpired that in my absence my wife went into the dining-room, found the basket, explored its conienis, and— well, my wife is a woman, so she could do little else but faint, which she did promr tly and effectively, preluding it by a scream. The cook went to the rescue and emu- lated her mistress by tumbling down in a heap on top of her at the first glimpse of the unfortunate head. The impac: of the cook’s frame brought my wife to her senses, who set about bringing the cook out of her irance. She succeeded finally, then directed her to carry the basket mnto my library. At that the cook openly rebelled, supple- menting the refusal with a notice that she was going to leave. When I returned home I received a3 lecture from my wife and the informa- tion of the cook’s intentions. The cook was a good one and I did not care to lose her, so I undertook to explain; but nothing would satisfy her nor shake ber deiermination to go, and I pelieve she thought I pad brought the head home as areplenishment of the family larder irom dark hints she threw out while I was talking with her. I carried the head, which seemed to be pursued by some lucklessspirit that would not let it rest even in death, to the Joft of the stable where my colored coachman slept, and locked it in a closst with a set of old harness. Next morning I went to the office with- out giving the hidden baske: a thought, and when I returned in the evening, mv wife informed me that the coachman had not been seen ail day. The coachman was a tall yellow fellow about 30 years of age, who had been in my emplcy two years. Stealing came to him as naturally as sleeping, and I had on more than one occasion traced missing articles of small value to his failing in that direction. I figured it out that he had been too free with some one else’s property and landed in jail at last, As 1 knew where he lived, I conciuded to drive over, atthe same time taking the head to the college. I went to the closet and unlocked it. The head was gone. 1 could not account for it, as the door was locked, and I could in no wise con- nect its disappearance with the aisence of the coachman, knowing the nezro's ab- horrence of dead people in general. I was sati-fied tnat William had not stolen my basket without first looking at the con- tent-, and one veep would have been enough for him. Idrove over to his house. William’s wife came to the door, appearing very nervous when 1 questioned her about him. She said be had gone to the Klondike. Iwassurprised, for Iowed him a month’s wages, “I was acomin’ over t’ y’alls in de ’,” shesaid, ““’cause I had er mes- mawnin’, sage fo’ yo' ali from Willie. He done sayed t' me U teil y’all dat ar baisket o’ yorn what 'e borried is in the woodshaid back o' de bawn."” I thanked her and told her to send Wil- lie over to see me when he reiurned from the Klondike and I would pay bim. I knew he had not left the city. William had carried the basket to the woodshed before looking into it, and wien be looked could not put it down quick enough. 1starched the woodshed from top to bottom, but no ba-ket could I find. My wite had engaged a Chinaman in the piace of the cook. I askea bim if -he had found a basket in the she ; he said he had not. I concluded I woula hear from itin some way or another bzfore long. Two days la‘er my wife found a roll of woman’s hair done up in a paper and crammed inio a tea camster in the itchen. She confiscated it and showed it to me. Irecognized it as the crowning beauty of my s:vered head. Iconfronted the Chinamen, who gloried in the name of Peter, with the evidence of his knowl- edge of my subjec’, but he insisted that it was the hairof a lady friend of hi That night I stopped him as he was going out with a bundle of napery on his back. Hesmiled as he explained that he was carrying the soilei linen to his cousin’s laundry at the order of his mis- tress. I told him I was acquainted with the object of his errand, but I thought tbere was something in the bundle that I wanted. 1 opened it and found my head done up in newspapers, around which was rolled a tablecioth. I asked him what he was going to do with it. 'You ca'lum woman,” he retorted de- fiantly, “Me git p’'leeseman.” Taking a firm ho!d on the young man’s ear I led him to ihe kiiwchen door. “Get your bag,” I said. He came back pre ently with his flow- ered bag, which I compe led him o open and empty. Hecomplied with much dark muttering and many uninteiligible nasal maledictions, no doubt cursing me by his personal gunardian spirit. I carried the head to the college wyere its earthly mis- sion was at last falfilled. My wife has been doing the cooking since the Chinaman left and I{vesindread of coming upon some specl&e" of the ‘“human warious”” tucked awav beneath a mattress or buried in the flour barrel. William bas not returned fr the Klondike, at least he has not turned up to claim his wages. Then the doctor blows smoka toward the ceiling and laughs. G. W. 0. NEW TO-DAY.
