Her husband says, “Now, don’t get the blues! right after you have taken the doctor’s medicine.” . But she does not get all right. She grows worse day by day, until all at once she realizes that a distressing female complaint is established. Her doctor has made a mistake. She loses faith ; hope vanishes; then comes the morbid, melancholy, everlasting blues. She should have been told just what the trouble was, but probably she withheld some information from the doctor, who, therefore, is unable to accurately locate her particular illness. . Mrs. Pinkham has relieved thousands of women from just this kind of trouble, and now retains their grateful letters in her library as proof of the great assistance she has rendered them. This same assist- ance awaits every sick woman in the land. Write her to-day. You will be all “DeAR Mes.

This is the first time that these counties have made a concerted movement by this method to attract the eyes of the men with means | | from the Atlantic slope. Of the counties north of Tehachapi, the pioneer in ex- hibiting in Los Angeles is San Joaquin, | as represented by the Stockton Board of | Trade. Gocd results have been obtained ! in the south through the efforts of Stock- | ton. Many Eastern persons have been induced to settle in the San Joaquin Val- ley. The counties above named are unit in the California Central Coast Counties’ Improvement Association. - A conference of the board -of control { of the association was held at San Mateo ' | last Thursday.

The visitors were handsomely entertained by the San Mateo Improvement Club. LAS AMIGAS CLUB GIVES CHARMING GARDEN PARTY | Mrs. Farrar Tenders Her House and Grounds at Sausalito for i Merry-Making. | One of the most enjoyable and brilliant functions of the season was the garden party held last Saturday at Holly Oaks, | Sausalito, by the members of the Las | Amigas Club. Mrs.'M. A. Farrar gener- | ously donated the use of her house and | beautiful gardens for the fete and the clever hands of the decorators turned the | place into a veritable paradise. The ef- | fects were most artistic and the grounds | were made doubly attractive at night by the soft glow of myriads of Japanese lanterns and twinkling fairy lamps swing- ing under the trees. The purpose of the club was to give an entertainment in the nature of a fair lasting during the after- | noon and evening, the proceeds to be applied to the piano fund. | vessels in readiness delivered. plant that has been established by the great oil combination looms up there in large shape. Work is being pushed upon the pipe line, which will be the first long distance oil conduit to be constructed upon the Pacific Coast. Something like 2000 barrels of crude fuel oil will be forced | daily through the line when it is ready for operation. The. refinery at Point Richmond will have a minimum capacity for handling 2000 barrels a day. This is one of the signs of the times that gives encouragement to the holders of oil prop- erties In this State. There are other signs that promise a large demand for The Pacific Oil Reporter enumerates the following as having significance: By the first of the year the Union OIl Com- pany at its two refineries at Bakersfleld and Oleum will be consuming moge than 3 bar- rels and will also be making large shipments to the Hawaiian I-lands. The Pacific Oil Transportation Company will have its tank to trensport ofl to the islands and elsewhere and will have its pipe line completed from the Western Union wells to tide water. The Midland Pacific will have begun work on its road from Bakersfield to the gea, as will have the Burson Company on their electric road. A number of new refining plants will have been started. The fleet of oil-burn- ing steamers sailing from San Franclsco will have increased to fully one hundred. At least 600 engines of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe companies will be burning ofl. The num- ber of local concerns about the bay using ofl will have exceeded the 250 mark. The ofl consumption of California will have increased from 8,000,000 barrels in 1901 to fully 15,000, 000 by January 1, 1903. The Union Oil Company has entered the Kern River ofl field as a producer. It has purchased a controlling interest in the Claremont Company in section 32, in the heart of the fleld, and it will drill ten wells. There is one well there at pres- ent. The derricks are up and three 40- horsepower boilers are on the way. The drills ‘will be going very soon. Of the Union Oil Company’s movements the Bakersfield Californian says: It is understood that the Union's object in entering the field as a producer is to obtain & supply of ofl sufficient to run its big refinery, securing It at first cost and being independent of the market price. The relations of the Standard and the Union are well known to be of the friendliest, there being no competition between the two, and it is barely possible that the latter will be able to dispose of its distillates to its neighbor, in addition to the crude ofl which is to be put through the Point Richmond pipe line. Ex- perienced ofl men are of the opinion that the oll as it comes from the wells will be found | of a gravity too heavy to admit of its being forced so great a distance with faction.

COMPARES LODE | BUCKET SHOPS - WITH RANGHES Makes Striking Showing for Mineral Yield of State. Mineralogist Uses ' Figures to Illustrate Big Industry. ‘Ten thousand copies of a pamphlet have been circulated, mainly among Eastern | people, in the last fortnight by the State Mineralogist, through the State Mining Bureau, tending to attract attention to | the mineral resources of California. In-| cidentally the statement is made in the pamphlet that the total mineral product of the State was large enough in the year 101 to pay $23 per ton for all the agri-| cultural produce that was shipped out of the State by sea and rail last year. The shipments included 3,659,539 tons of fruits; 91,278 tons of vegetables, green and canned; 68,700 tons of sugar; 611,53 tons of | ! wheat; 13,450 tons of wool—the total of these products being 1,464,378 tons. An-| other statement also calculated to arrest | the attention of the Eastern people is the following from the same pamphlet: The | grand total assessed valuation of Califor- | inia for 191 reached the vast sum of | | $1,241,705,803, but large as this sum is, the mineral production for 1901 was $34,355,981, | or over 2% per cent of the total assessed valuation of the whole State. Announcement has been made of the fact that the convention of the California | Miners’ Association will not be held until | after the State election. In the meantime many notices are received concerning the | | contemplated doings of the International Mining Congress, which will be held in | Butte, Mont,, on the first five days of September. There are to be the usual ad- dresses of welcome, “etc., by Governor Tooje, Mayor Davey of Butte, ex-Gov- ernor Rickards and response by President E. L. Shaffner of the congress.

Tyson Detwiler Absconds “to the Coast With Stolen Funds. A B H. Tyson Detwiler, who is wanted in Philadelphia on a charge of felony em- bezzlement, was arrested on Sansome street yesterday afternoon just after he had left the general postoffice by Detec- tives Reynolds and McMahon. He was taken to the City Prison and booked as a fugitive from justice. Captain Martin at once wired to Harry M. Quirk, Superin- tendent of Police at Philadelphia, notify- ing him of the arrest and saying that Detwiler would feturn without extradi- tion papers. He received a reply that an officer would leave.at once to take Detwiler back. Detwiler was a trusted employe and stenographer at the Union League Club, Philadelphia. On March 17 last he com- plained of being sick and sald he was go- ing south to a milder climate for the ben- efit of his health. After his disappear- ance the faet was discovered that he had stolen some $4500, and Superintendent Quirk sent circulars throughout the coun- try with a photograph of Detwiler, an asking for his arrest on the charge o felony embezzlement. A reward of $200 was offered by the City Trust Safe De- posit and Surety Company of Philadel- phia for his apprehension. Since the receipt of the circular the olice here have been on the lookout for etwiler. A few days ago Detectives Reynolds and McMahon ascertained that a man answering his description was in the city under the name of S. L. Brew- ster. hey also learned that he was in the habit of calling at the general post- office for mail, and they kept a watch for him, resulting in his arrest yesterday aft- ernoon. Detwiler admitted everything to the officers and sald he was willing to re- turn for trial without the necessity of ex- tradition papers. He is a gent{emn.nly looking fellow, about 26 years of age. He frequented bucket shops in the Quaker City and this led to his downfall. Will Celebrate This Evening.

What is this exude? ~this light | weight, greenish-gray colored, pulverulent mass that 18 Teducible to a metal without loss of | weight, having no appearance of gold, to| Which Rold acts as both flux and reducer with- | out slag whereby the weight of the gold is in- creased over three times? I do not know what | ft'is, and have given it, for the present, the name of ‘exude,’ on account of its method | of isolation from its origin, which first brought % to my attention some years ago, when, not Knowing its auriferous value, I threw it away as refuse, The matter was recently brought | 25 Ty ‘attention again on the finding of a hocket of gold ore in J. W. Opp's mining prop- erty, which joins my gold mining claim. In & epecimen of this ore I saw a metal resem- Pling sylvanite; some of the gold had a green- 1sh hue, which I considered indicative of the Dresence of this exude. An assay in the usual way gave a dark bead; I took this bead, heated T3, Gusion on a new cupel under the blowpipe o toe and then gradually lowered the heat. At fusion the bead was clean and bright; as it cooled it dulled; a skin formed on the out- side, the metal on the inside remaining for Some time fluid. At a critical period exuded 2 Dulverulent mass, at first red, then brown, | finally when cold a greenish-gray. Repeating the fusion and cooling until no more * e med, removing each crop of “‘exude,” there bead of bright gold obtained, the gold the gold, s Gered particles in contact at the instant of fusion Pin together forming a bead; particles mot in contact with others form isolated minute beads, and with much difficulty can .they ba fade to join each other, acting like glohules of sickened mercury. A closer examination Shows that a skin forms on each bead just af- $or fusion. These minute beads are brilliantly colored—blue, scarlet, purple and green—pur- Ple predominating. By pntting these beads, or the ‘‘exude,’” in a conical pit in charcoal and heating to fusion and stirring, the “exude’ can be brought into one bead of metal, gen- erally violet in color. Scratching the surface shows the metal to be white. IN CALIFORNIA MINES. - The Grass Valley Union and Herald re- ports that the Pennsylvania mine has started up again. A shift was t | down to resume work at the place 'h":"" progress was suspended abdut a year ago. As the work goes on the force of men suspended a week or ten days previous to ship- | ment. | Several explanations have been advanced as a | reason for the withdrawal of the Kimberley people, the most plausible one being the inabil- ity of the various copper mining companies to get together on a common basis which would mean a single smelting management and other | economies necessary to profitable production at | prevailing copper prices. Several fruitless attempts have been made to merge the greater undeveloped properties on the | copper belt with the Bully Hill mines and to | utilize a common plant on the Sacramento River | near Kennet, and it was understood in well- | informed circles that nothing would be done to- | ward production until a merger of various in- terests could be arranged. It would now appear that this information was well founded. An unconfirmed report is in circulation that there has been a transfer of interest, and that another company will take up where the Kim- berley syndicate left of. The Kimberley bond on the Balaklala called for payments aggregat- ing $650,000. x; ADVERTISEMENTS. Pears’ Get one cake of jt. Nobedy. ever stops at a cake. Pears’ soap for toilet, bath and shaving.
