It is the same way with a good doctor when his patient seems condemned to death by disease. But doctors make mistakes some- times; they lose heart too soon. After they have tried everything they know and the patient is no better, they think there is nothing more to be done. They don’t always get at the root of .the disease. They frequently give a patient up to die of con- sumption, and are afterwards surprised to see him get strong and well again. Mrs. W. B. Duncan, of Arlington, Phelps Co., Mo., writes: My husband took four bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Goldén Medical Discovery w was (as he thought) aimost into consun ‘we were very thankful that such a medicine could be found. h all persons troubled with cough would take it.

It puts the vital forces into action and fills the circulation with the life-giving red corpuscles which builds up solid, mus- cular flesh and healthy nerve-force. As a medical author, Dr. Pierce holds an eminent place in his profession. His great +housand-page illustrated book, *‘The Peo- | ple’s Common Sense Medical Adviser” is one of the standard medical works of the English language. Nearly 700,000 copies were sold at $1.50 each.

TAYLOR SAVED FROM PRISON An Unfortunate nces Young Man Arrested on a Trumped Up Charge. G. W. F. Head of a Collection Justice Cook Scores the | Company. Justice of the Peace G. W. Friday frustrated what appea to be little less than an attempt at ex- tortion, ar saved Wallace S. Taylor from being sent to prison for debt. From the proceedings before the Justice it a peared that Taylor, who is the son of a wealthy resident of Brooklyn, had become tress of a lodging- ton and Bush The bill was and Arm- indebted to the prop house at the corner « streets to the amount of to the Interstate Collection . of which Albert :ad and front. protessea gre told him for the an T r gave the note, but 1d not accept it unless sent it to his _in- ement. He wrote a letter to the elder Taylior, saving it was necessary in order to save the young man _from serious | trouble. The father replied that if it was really necessary he would indorse tue note. Upon receipt of this answer Armstrong filed an affidavit with Judge Cook, setting forth that Taylor was about to depart from the State with intent to defraud his creditors, and asking that he be arreste Judge Cook issued the order early Thurs a g. and Taylor was held in the the Sheriff until nearly afternoon, when the matter efore Judge Cook. lled V ¥ mo; stody of | o’clock that came up for he: »fend Taylor’'s annoyance of Armstrong. | Tayior udmitted owing the bill, but denied that he had any intention of leay- | ing the te, or that he could do so if he wished, as he was penniless. He | hen told a story of misfortune that gained him the sympathy of all who heard it. Taylor said he had been in re- ceipt of a handsome salary, but had lost his position and was entirely dependent upon his father's bounty. His wife had separated from him, taking their two children. When théy separated Taylor | verbally agreed to make her a handsome allowan but it was soon after that he lost his position.

Disbarment pro- ceedings against Armstrong are also hinted at. —————— DEMAND FEES FROM SEAMEN. terday | Vessel Was Under a Toreign Flag. R. O. Luders and W. P. Hermann were examined yesterday before United States | Court Commissioner Heacock on several | charges of demanding from sailors a | commission or fee for obtaining them | employment on the Argentine barkentine | Sharpshooter. The defendants set up the | plea that at the time of the commission | of the alleged offense the barkentine was under the Argentine flag. The Govern- | ment set up the contention that the bark- | entine was owned at that time by an| American corporation and that the Fed- eral statutes were operative in her case. Since the arrest of the defendants the barkentine has been sold to another| American firm and has been placed under | the American flag and her name changed | to Ruth. Commissioner Heacock ueld the defendants to answer. | ————— In the Divorce Courts. Lillie Cole commenced suit yesterday to secure a divorce from Amos Cole on the | ground of cruelty.

To-day we 100k back over the period (nearly six years) that Hale's has been known to the careful buyers of San Francisco and we note with pardonable pride how Hale’s original store has kept on ‘“annexing”—Kept on “making war” on high prices—kept on buying and selling for spot cash, until to-day Hale’s in San Francisco actually covers twice the amount of floor space they did less than six years ago.

The store which has made itself felt as “San Francisco’s most progressive dry. strongest possible asset in the CONFIDENCE of the PEOPLE. -goods house” has the Next week is our anniversary week, and therefore in 100King over our new annex—viewing our increased stock and facilities —seeing how in the vast increase of floor space we can handle our increasing trade, Hale's feel that probably the most pleasing thought is that the people know where good goods (““Hale’s goods”) are retailed for cash at the lowest possible profit.

Big Mining Company’s Scheme ! to Run Prospect Tunnels Under a Town. If California secures a creditable min- ing display at the Transmississippi Con- gress it will be through the sending there of a large portion of the collection in the State Mining Bureau. This collection is| being packed preparatory to being trans- ferred to the future quarters of the Min- ing Bureau in the new ferry depot, and efforts are being made to have it sent to Omaha. This is by far the best use that can be made of it during the time in- volved, and most enterprising mining | men interested in the future of the in- dustry in this State will hope that the bulk of it will be forwarded and attract- ively displayed. Other Western mining | S s wiil have superb displays and Cali- fornia needs the auvertising as much as any of them. Messrs. M. H. de Young, Lirey L. Kord and Charles G. Yale have been appointed commissioners to look after the matter of a mineral exhibit, and they request contributions of ores, minerals, etc., from all over the State. One of the noticeable features of the Klondike rush at tnis particular time is the rate-cutting from Fuget Sound to Juneau, Dyea and Skaguay, which has al- ready made the trip a cheap one. The resuit is that hundreds are going to those laces with but little more money than nough to take them there, lured by the hope and expectation that'there will be plenty of chances to make money some- now, whereas these pluces are overrun with people looking for a chance to “rustle,” and hundreds are unable to get a day’s work at low wages. The Alaska Mining Record takes this view of it: “It is difficult to estimate the harm which would come to Alaska In the event of a material cut in the passenger rates between our ports and the cities of the coast. The immediate result would be the flocking hither of thousands who are now kept away only by the fact that the present fares, reasonable though they are, are still too high to permit their coming. | Ignorant of the true conditions obtaining | here thousands entertam the belief that | they have only to reacu Alaska to find | remunerative employment, and that in a | short time a sufficient sum can be saved | to enable them to outfit for the gold fields. | low passenger tariff would bring to | Alaska hundreds of deserving men, who would find too late that this is no poor | man's country.” Julian Sonntag, secretary of the Cali- fornia Miners’ Association, has received word from Denver that each county asso- ciation will be allowed five delegates to the International Mining Congress, which will meet in Salt Lake early in July. The Mountain Echo, published at Angels Camp, Calaveras County, has this to say about an odd enterprise conceived by the Utica Mining Company: ‘‘The proposition made by the Utica Mining Company to explore, at a depth of 500 feet from the surface, under the various lots of the town, for the discovery of the new ledges of gold-bearing quartz, is meeting with general approval. Of course, there are some of the residents of Angels who ob- ject to granting the company this right, and as all propositions that have no op- osition seldom amount to nnything. it s more than likely that the Utica Com- pnng' will, with some little difficulty, suc- ceed in securing the privilege asked for.” George W. imble has organized a company to develop some of the deep gravel beds lving south of Placerville, and for that purpose has secured work- Green | lountain gravel mines, He refurngd from | | and San Francisco Sunday evening, and will at once proceed to open a tunnel and sink a shaft upon the property. The capital is supplied by San Francisco men and the organization is called the Kimble Mining Company. It will probably be in- corporated.—E]l Dorado Republican. | A report is current in Placerville that | the Gold Note and Philadelphia mines of the Brownsville district have been sold v R. 8. v, who has been in San Fran- iderable copper in this y at various points, which if devel- oped to some extent would induce the in- vestment of capital by moneyed men, as copper is something that will p: hand- somely in mining.—Yreka Journ: During the past week a pocket of up- ward of $2000 was taken out of the Big Four mine on the Coe ranch, Kelsey Township, and there is more in sight.— Placerville Nugget. According to the Marysville Democrat, a4 new era has been entered upon in Browns Valley. The discovery made in the mining camp one day last week promises to infuse new life into that sec- tion, for experts say that the strike down on the £0 level of the Pennsylvania mine gives to many men assurance of several | vears' employment and to the capitalists who furnished the money for the further- ance of the project a splendid guarantee of rich returns on their investments. The new vein is said to be eleven feet across | and that it will average $10 a_ton. he mill and hoisting works are being put in shape for operations as rapidly as possible at the Lightner mine, and it is expected to have the mine in running pr- dE”im before the summer opens.—Mountain cho. Machinery for the development of the Keystone mine, Calaveras County, has been bought, and will soon be installed. There is promise that this mine will be- come one of great value. A Placerville correspondent of the Min- ing and Scientific Press gives the follow- ing interesting items concerning more of those long abandoned mines that are now coming to the front with riches: ‘“The old Columbus mine has been unwatered and the ledge has been found. Active work will continue on this property, which has never been worked to a depth of any consequence and has been aban- doned elghteen years. It is a matter of record that from surface diggings, and to the shallow depth of sixty feet, a few Swiss-Italians took out enough money to buy large holdings {n Marin County, where they live to-day in luxury and ease. I am reliably informed that Hanley & Poor, who are working the porphyry feams near Kelsey, sold $2500 worth of gold here last week, This porphyry for- mation is a feature of that section on Rock Creek and the American River. The old Dalmatia mine was a sample of the rich products of that locality. This is another property that was not worked to any great depth.” The Winnemucca Silver State says the borax production of Humboldt and Churchill counties this season is expected to be larger than ever, owing to the 2 cent tariff. It also states that the soda product from the Inyo County deposits from Nevada are expected to be i | large. The outlook for water for mining and irrigating purposes in this section is not as bright as it might be. It Is stated by a man who recently arrived from the mountains that the snow Is not more than two feet deep in Bear Valley, where usually at this season of the year it is from twelve to fourteen feet deep. The big reservoir at Silver Valley is not more than half full, which certainly betokens a small supply of water next summer.— Mountain Echo. The work of sinking the Cross Shaft in Angels Camp 500 feet deeper has been commenced. When this work {s com- leted the shaft will be 1500 feet deep. he Cross is one of the Utica group, and is located on Circus Hill, immediately in the center of the town. The south shaft at the Gwin mine has been cleaned out to below the 1100-foot level, and although it has been closed for the‘;mm. twenty years it is in a very good condition. The pay chute in the old shaft on the 1400-foot level is over 1000 feet in length.—Calaveras Chronicle. The Great Western mine, Calaveras County, continues to turn out a good Quality of ore, and C. D. Lane, who holds a (hlni;-day bond on the property, will, | no doubt, purchase the mine at the time h‘l:loe bond expires. The bond calls for $30,- Work is progressing on the Smadeke mine at Smith’s Flat, Calaveras County. The shaft is being put down as rapidiy ! as possible, and necessary improvements about the mill and works are being made. | A rich strike has been made on the desert in San Bernardino County by F.| J. Dehm of this city and A. H. Luscomb | of Bernardo. Mr. Dehm returned Friday night from a six weeks' prospecting trip at Twenty-nine Palms in San Bernardino County and brought along samples of ore | from one of the mines located. The samples yesterday assayed $1220 per ton. Mr. Luscomb {s working on a claim at present, and Mr. Dehm will return in the fall to assist in developing the property.— San Diego Union. A large ruby was picked up on the des- ert near Vuiture Siding a few days ago. This district is known as the Ruby dis- | trict, and from time to time very good finds have been made. The Ruby section has been prospected very little, the pros pectors being averse "to leaving the course of streams for any considerable | distance.—Riverside Enterprise. Albert Smith arrived at Barstow last week to start the ore buyer to work in behalf of the new 50-stamp custom mill. The assay office and sampling mill are now about completed. All the machinery for the mill is on the ground and the building is almost completed, and stamps will soon begin dropping. It is reported that an exceptionally rich strike of copper has just been made on the property of the Inyo Mining Com- pany 144 miles north of Inyo. The strike was made on the 700-foot level. Besides the copper, gold, silver and lead ores are now being taken from this property in paying quantities. A smelter is now be- ing put in which will add materially to the output, as heretofore all the ore was shipped either to Denver or San Fran- cisco té be smelted. Owing to the recent copper strike additional mechanism for smelting that ore will be put in, and within three weeks the smelter will be in_operation.—Riverside Enterprise. The annual report for the New Idria Quicksilver Mining Company for the year ending December, 18¢7, shows net pro- ceeds from sales, $125,197, increase in yalsh supplies, $3730; total receipts, $128,928; total expenses, $81,342; net earnings, $47, 586; dividends, $30,000; total surplus, $28,243. There were produced during the year 15,- 310 tons of ore and 3605 flasks. The new reduction works at the mine in San Ben- ito County were in full operation only seven months. | The old Redington quicksilver property | will, it is said, resume work under a Lon- don company, to be known as the Quick- silver Mines of California, Limited. It is said to have been purchased by G. Darsie of Scotland and A. McMillan of California. The capital is §750,000. There are about ten men working at the | Mount Shasta quartz mine. Three shifts | were to have been put on Monday of this | week. The old shaft Is being drained and drifting is in progress to tap the | bottom, that will probably be finished in | a few days. Good-paying ore is constant- | ly being shipped to the Keswick smelters. | Next year the owners contemplate plac- ing electric plants on the property and | ultimately_sinking to at least 1000 feet | or more.—Redding Searchlight. | The following news notes concerning the region about Ballarat, Inyo County, | are condensed from the Los Angeles Min- ing Review: | “T.

There was a very large trade dur- ing the sessions of the Produce Ex- change, and a strong feeling existed on the curb after the closing of the regular Shippers have been heavy pur- chasers of spot wheat for several days Jjust past. The cause of the advance comes from a very sharp European market. Liver- pool futures advanced 2d to 3id, and argoes were quoted one shilling higher, while present cargoes are in many cases bringing wild prices. The advance in the local market was caused both by the strong European market and the con- tinued dry weather which has prevailed in this State. Another reason g 1 the increase in prices is the sharp bidding by millers for milling wheat, as much as $1 80 being paid for only fair milling. The Port Costa mills are bringing wheat from Oregon to meet their wants. | Both Oregon and Washington wheat is at present in good demand for millers’ use. As the dry weather in California has practically destroyed the wheat and bar- ley crops, buyers are invading the terri- tory of the districts. For barley, however, there are many substitutes. such as corn, oats and | other coarse grains. Already thousands of tons of corn are said to be in transit to California from points east of the Rockies, and local dealers say fhat there is a possibility of the market being over- burdened with grains for the substitution of barley, whereas wheat consumers must await the harvest of Washington and Oregon.
