Fully 300 guests and members participated in the merrymaking. The hall presented a novel appearance. Two score tables laden with bottles of beer, pipes, tobacco and sandwiches filled the room. Through the cloudeof smoke the platform was barely discernable. T. J. Crowley, master of the revel, sat in a high-backed chair and gave his orders in a manner that brooked no interference. ke Tuchler, “officer of the night,” was armed with a long stuffed club and wore a badge of authority that co\‘eéed his manly chest and hid his dia- mond. | Waiters rushed to and fro as in a Ger- | man beer garden, and the refreshments | were doled out with a lavish hand. Not | a thirst in the hall remained wun-| quenched. During the revel a cholce programme | was rendered. -The features of the even- ing were serious and humorous papers by D. M. Delmas and Judge John Hunt. Del- mas discussed the serious side of Bohemia and Judge Hunt its funny side. Both pa- pers were highly appreciated. E. Johnson played “Yankee Doodle” so | many ways on the piano that it made the audience dizzy trying to follow the mel- ody. 'W. J. O'Brlen sang a number of songs, Harry Nieman gave a number of clever specialties, Gus Hartman told the funny experiences he had at amateur | prize-ights, Willlam _ Heazleton sang comic songs, Charles Nounan played the piano, Harry Cashman told Hebrew storles, Al Cercle rendered ragtime solos, G.

Question of Reciprocity En- gages Attention at ‘Washington. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—Colonel Las- ker Bliss, the United States army officer, detailed as collector. of customs at Ha- vana, was before the Ways and Means Committee to-day concerning Cuban re- ciprocity. In opening his statement he said his knowledge of the sugar business was con- fined to that of an observer 'in an official position dealing with the trade of Cuba. This had led him to hope that if there was any change in the tarift it would be such an adjustment as would thrcg mto the hands of the United States the large amount of Cuban trade now taken by for- eign countries. , Speaking first of the ‘condition of the Cuban sugar industry he said it was greatly aepressed. He estimated the sugar industry of the island at $200,000,000 and said about three-fourths of the peo- ple were dependent in one way or another on the sugar industry. *Chairman Payne asked Colonel Bliss to specify what advantages the United States could gain from Cuba and Payne also called attention to the low tariff rate Cuba imposed against the United States, Colonel Bliss said the average ad valorem rate was about 21 per cent and he pre- sented tables designed to show how a tariff readjustment could throw practical- ly all of the Cuban trade into the hands of American producers. He also sub- mitted a list of articles on which a dif- ferential of about 33 per cent, favorable to the United States as against other foreign countries, would give us the trade. Representative’ Newlands of Nevada suggested that without our political con- trol of Cuba there might be servile labor to compete with American labor. He deAed: he Cub: )t d “‘Are the Cuban people prepared to come into political relations with the United States?” “I think a great majority of the Cubans are ready to come in,” Colonel Bliss re- a Territory or a State?’ asked Newlands. “They would be glad to come in as a State or a Territory or under the military authority—almost any way in order to come under the authority of the United States.” Continuing on this topic Colonel Bliss said he thought commercial union with Cuba would postpone political union. Per. sonally he was not convinced of the wis- | dom of annexation. The feeling in Cuba was one of readiness to accept any con- ditions the United States might impose. Asked whether there was much poverty and distress among the Cubans Colonel Bliss sald there was not. But the con- dition was like that of a bank about to break and the people did not know what would become of them three months hence. Cewis Place, head of the Cuban dele- gation, made 'a_statement controverting the claim that the reciprocity movement was instigated by the United States sugar interests and contending that the Cubans bad long urged and expected these con- S fendoza, also of the Cuban delegation ) , also of the s added. the "statement that the ~ Platt amendment had been accepted by Cuba on assurances from the late President Me- Kinley that his influence would be ex- erted with Congress to secure economlic concessions for the island.

The Cuban hearing then went over until Tuesday, when the beet !uslr men and several Cubans will be heard. Ancient Order of Workmen. All arrangements have been conclu:ed for the entertainment to be given under o apices of the Grand Lodge in 0dd Fellows' Hall on the night of the 29th inst. The San Francisco extension committee has now been placed in the charge of Past Grand Master Edwin Danforth by Deputy Grand Master Barnes, who declared that press of other engagements in connection with the work of the order prevents him from giving that branch the attention it deserves. At the meeting held on the 18th inst. Mr. Danforth outlined a plan of operations and it was decided to perfect it at the next meeting. Ex-Grand Recorder Poland was in this city last week visiting friends. He will shortly leave for Pony, Mont., to take up his residence there with his son. The deputy grand master visited the lodge in Haywards last week and took part in the memorial service held by that subordinate. The following night that offi- cer, in company with Grand Recelver Booth, visited the lodge at Tesla and in- stalled the officers. Special Deputy Calvert started out in behalf of the lodge in Meridan recently and in a week secured twenty-one mem- ers. Grand Master Morrison reports that all the lodges in the southern part of the State are doing well, frequently adding to the membership by initiation. Pacific Lodge of Oakland had a hard- tack party last week. It was well at- tended and there was a good programme of entertainment. Grand Recorder Spencer will to Sausalito Lodge on the 28th inst. for the purpose of installing the officers. He will be accompanied by several members of the San Francisco extension commit- tee. On the evening of the 20th inst. the fol- lowing named were installed as the offi- cers of Myrtle Lodge of the A. O. U. W. for_the current term by W. C. Crowley, D. D. G. M. W., and a full corps of acting grand officers: Dr. E, E, Baird, P. M. W.; 8. W. Chadbourne, M. W.; F. H. Thrall, F.; C. M. Bouton, O.; G. E. G.! A. F. Goetjen, L 'W.; R. Youns, O. W. After_the installation the members went to a Market-street cafe, where there was served a supper and there were re- sponses to toasts by Grand Recorder Spencer, District Deputies Crowley, Law- ton and Thompson, Past Master Baird and the new master workman., The re- ports presented show that the lodge Is In etter condition than it has been for years, having $2000 in bank. During the past year the average age of members was reduced by fifteen months by reason of the taking of a number of young mem- bers. The average of the membership at this time is under 36 years. Degree of Honor. The members of Forget Me Not Lodge of the Degree of Honor, Ancient Order United Workmen, were entertalned last week at a banquet given by Chief of Honor Miss Annie Lee at the residence of her father, E.

Owners Are Making Ready to Increase Their Fa- cilities. Once more the miners have taken heart on account of the recent rains, with ‘which came some snow in the mountains. But there is still less snow than the | miners would like to see. The scarcity of water is indicated by a record kept at Angels Camp, Calaveras County, where only 1133 inches of rain fell during the | season up. to January 17, as against a | total of 20.33 inches for the corresponding | season of 1%01. While the claims are be- | ing worked generally on the mother lode, | a short season is threatened. When the mill at the Shawmut mine, in Toulumne County, is completed 200 stamps will be at work. A large force is work- ing to install the mill. The Jumper and | App mines are running on full time, with | forty _stamps pounding day and night. | The Star mine, which has been shut down for some time, will be started up again. A bond on the Wheal-Perrin mine, | at Soulsbyville, has been taken by Hal. | J. Sisty. The shaft on the Proudhomme mine will be sunk deeper. There is a | prospect that the California and New Era mines, on the south side of the Toulumne River, will be developed. Preparing to Run. The Calaveras Citizen says that the Beatrice Company is preparing to work on several properties west of Angels Camp. Much assessment work is being done In that dlstrict. The Tenderfoot group of quartz claims is being prospect- ed, as are also the New Deal, Hidden Treasure and Pauper’s Dream properties, all of which are free gold JBropositions; There is_a revival of gravel mining at Douglas Fiat. The shaft of the Argonaut mine, in Amador County, has reached a depth of 2020 feet and sinking still continues, so says the Amador Ledger. The opening up of the Peerless property, on the north of the Kirkwood mine, is reported to depend ugon the developments in the Kirkwood. The Amador-Phoenix mine will cross-cut for the ledgq at a depth of about 715 feet. According to the Yreka Journal, a New Jersey trust company has taken a mort- gage of $100,000 on mining claims along Klamath River, below Happy Camp. Numerous locations of mining claims have beginning of the year. has again stopped mining to a great ex- tent by freezing up the little creeks and ditches. Lively times are anticipated dur- ing the coming summer on the forks of the Humbug on quartz ledges. According to the Dunsmuir News, the Tyrer Min- ing Company has started up a new stamp mill with ten stamps. According to the Redding Free Press, no more ore is coming from the mine of the Mountain Copper Company, at Iron Mountain. The force of men has been cut down and 100 men were dismissed in one week. Only one train crew has been running up on the mountain to the mine in place of four when the mine was in full blast. Six of the eleven MacDougalls have been shut down. At the smelter, so says the Free Press, there is evidence of prosperity. Three of the four furnaces are kept running and the new one has a fire in it. The con- verters that have just been completed at the expense of thousands of dollars are ready to start. The matte roasters have been fired. The stock of calcine is sufficient to keep all the furnaces running for months. The only thing that looks really blue about the situation is l%t no ore is coming down from. the mine. * The Mountain Copper Com- ny seems to know its own' business, and nows also how to keep it to itself. It asks advice from no one, pays its own bills and deesn’t take the public into its confidence. lere are many people In Keswick who laugh at the present situation as only a calm. The t works are too vast to be allowed to stay long idle, even in part. Keswick will be a good smelter town fifty years from now. Even Anaconda, Butte and Jerome have had their calms for a month or so recently, but in each of them the old activity has now re- turned. Keswick and Bisbee are now in an eclipse that must be only temporary. The Placerville Nugget reports that work is proceeding at the Levitt mine in Darl Canyon, two miles from Keisey, El Dorado County, under the direction of F. Levitt of Los Angeles. A new ledge is reported to have heen struck at the Che Hill quartz mine at Cherry Creek, Sisklyou County, by the running of a tunnel at a depth of feet. A large number of asbestos claims have been located in the Siskiyou Mountains near Applegate Creek and close to the Oregon_boundary. The Etna Advance says that the Hid- den Treasure mine on Boulder Creek, Siskivou County, has been bonded by John Russell, the owner, to H, L. Mc- on the ledge. The ore is base and must be smelted. Gold of California. ¥ A special number of the Mining and Engineerin the mineral industry of California. The number is filled with information of value and is handsomely illustrated. table of statistics reviews the total pro duction of gold in California since 1848 according to different authorities. This is extremely Interesting because it shows how at variance may be the views of competent observers on the very inte esting question of the actual gold pr duction. Taking the year for an ex- ample, these varying estimates are af- forded. The estimate follows: Estimate of J, D.

The greatest year for gpld output in- cluded in the table was, according to the figures of Statisticlan Charles G. Yale, 1852, which produced a total of $81,204,700. Here are Mr. Yale’s conclusions concern- ing the output for a serles of years in the early days In California: 1849, $10,151,360; 1850, $41,273,106; 1851, $75,938,232; 1853, $67,618,487; 1854, $69,433,931; The Review traces the p gold output of the worl since 1843 as follows: Since 1843 the annual product of gold has in- creased 654 per cent; silver, 500 per cent. The T eetr gold has. remainéa Unenaneed. sina 1725, while that of silver has declined B4 per cent since 1800.

One contract nas been placed for 50,000 barrels of oll at thirty-five cents per barrel. This is the best price obtained since last spring. The companies in the combine are pleased. The showing is an excellent argument for the coinpanies that are still outside. The party taking the ofl at thirty-five cents per barrel formerly had a contract for fifteen cents per barrel with one of the companies that has be- come a part of the greater organization. According to the Los Angeles Herald the majority of the stock of the Califorrnia Standard and Giant Oil companies has been placed-in escrow pending the con- summation of a deal by which the prop- erty will pass into the hands of the syn- dicate that has E‘urchaud .the Market- street Railway. he stock goes at nfty and sixty cents.
