PR AN Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Nov. 19.—The Almaden re- gion, twelve miles southwest of this city, is destined /to become almost as famous as a copper producer as it is for its quick- silver mine. Copper deposits of exceeding richness have been discovered there, and already they are in the course of devel- opment. The copper ledge is less than 500 yards from the Almaden mine—just across the canyon, a little to the south- east. Experts declare it to be more valuable than any other copper deposit found in | the State, and say that the quality of the ore surpasses that of the mines of Michi- gan and along Lake Superior. It is na- tive matte copper and red oxide, the rich- est variety known. Specimens have as- | sayed as high as % per cent pure copper. For years it has been known that cop- per existed in the region. More than thir- ty years ago a surface vein of great rich- ness was discovered in the exact spot where development work is now being done. A company was organized to de- velop it, and a large quantity of the ore | was taken to San Francisco by mule team in 1867 and shipped to Swansea, England, { by sailing vessel. This shipment netted | the sum of $8000, but before the result | was knqwn here the vein played out and | the claim was abandoned. | A couple of years ago a bond on the property was procured from C. W. Pome- roy. Much prospecting has been done | since then, and a few days ago the bond was paid up and the property purchased. The property has now passed into the bands of the Ella Copper Mining and De- velopment Company. This concern is composed principally of local capitalists. Joseph Ketcher is president and Henry T. Welch, E. Knickerbocker, Thomas Bodley and others are interested. Two tunnels have been run, one 75 feet | below the surface and the other at the In the preliminary ‘work previous to the purchase 400 tons of ore { were removed and this is now on the dump. It is estimated this is worth $12,- 000. The ore thus far taken out runs 200 pounds of copper to the ton. A larger force of men is to be employed and & mill will be erected at once. —_— BERLIN, Nov. 19.—The statuary groups on the Sieges Alee were subjected to further van- dalism last night.

Advance Bale of Seats, § Stockton THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDA Advocated as HE California Miners’ Assoclation yesterday elected officers for the current year, adopted resolutions outlining the present aims of the assoclation, listened to addresses and the reading of papers written by mining experts, passed resolutions in memory of members of the assoclation who have died during the year and then adjourned. Charles M. Belshaw of Contra Costa County was elected president of the as- | sociation, succeeding E. C. Voorhels. Fred Zeitler was elected first vice presi- | dent; Lewis E. Aubury, second vice presi- | dent; Samuel J. Hendy, treasurer, and Edwin H. Benjamin, secretary. The ex- ecutive committee will be named by Pres- ident Belshaw after consultation with miners in the various sections of the State concerning their wishes regarding representation. An important report was received from the committee on debris dams, of which former ex-Congressman Caminett! is the chairman. The purpose of the California Miners’ Association was declared in the report to be to strive for the construction of other restrainng dams that hydraulic { mining may be benefited. It was.recom- mended that Congress and the Legisla- ture of California be requested to provide for the barriers suggested. As a system of barriers can be .constructed in sections it was recommended that future opera- ticns shall cover simultaneously all ths rivers and tributaries requiring protection of the nature proposed for the Yuba River. One part of this report which will be read with great interest throughout the State is as follows: It will thus be noted at a glance that we have entered upon a new era in the effort to solve the hydraulic mining question., We now face actual results. We look into the future without any misgivings. We are filled with boundless hbpe, based on reasonable and de- fensible grounds, seeking that only which fs right to the mining interests, and desiring to do_right to all other industries. This era not only ushers into existence the barriers on the Yuba, but opens the way, let us hope, in the near future, to the construction of like barriers on streams throughout the mining field. The crowning glory of the struggle in which we bave been engaged is that while we have sought to help ourselves, we have not desired to injure others. Indeed, the foundation of the result of our work is based on river improve- merts for drainage, as well as for navigation purposes. Complete protection, _aye, better protection than_ has heretofore been afforded to adjacent lands must necessarily accompany such ~improvement. In the sygtem contem- plated, one cannot exist without the other. In view of this fact, and considering that the Bear, American and other streams drain- ing the hydraulic mining areas to the south of the Yuba .or the purposes of protection to navigable waters and adjacent lands, require the same treatment as that now proposed for the last named river, it is, as we stated in a former report, “‘a source of great regret that litigation has ensued concerning hydraulic mining operations In_this State on the sug- gestion _of the Anti-Debris Association, at a time when proposed plans promise so much, both for the farmer and the miner. The act of 1893, regulating hydraulic mining in California, was conceived in a spirit of harmony. By its river provisions, which are identical those of the Mississippl River law, the river interests of the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys and the adjacent lands are afforded ample and permanent relfef. URGE NEW BARRIERS. In another part of the committee re- port is the following matter of interest concerning barriers: The completion of the Yuba River barrier will, s0 far as that river is concerned, give effect to the law of 1893 in its entirety, and for the first time will put in operation its river | and its mining features in meeting and over- coming, we confidently believe, the difficulties of the 'farmer and of the miner. The labors of this organization at this sjage are just commencing to bear fruit, and ‘must be kept up with vigor. It has taken twelve years to see work com- menced. How long it will take before more is inaugurated? The answer to this question is watched with eagerness in Placer, EI Do- rado, Amadop, Calaveras and other 'countles. If tHe men in the mining regions and else- | where who have aided us are to be personally | benefited more haste should attend future work, as the majority of them cannot wait another twelve years. We therefore Tecommend that Congress and our Legislature be requested to provide for the construction of the barriers required in all the rivers and tributaries thereof, as contemplated by the act of 1893, and to’ this end that our Senators and Repre- sentatives, as well as our members of the Legislature, be petitioned to use their utmost We further recommend that as the system of barriers adopted can be comstructed in sec- tions, future operations cover simultaneously all the rivers and tributaries requiring pro- | tection of the nature proposed for the Yuba. This method is fair to all interests and sec- tions. It will protect adjacent lands and benefit navigable interests alpng the whole line, and at the same time enable\the mining indus’ try to be fostered. We recommend that in the matter of the Iiti- gation concerning the Polar Star mines steps be taken to inspect the records to ascertain what issues are raised therein and the effect thereof on the rights of hydraulic miners. We further recommend 1f such issues con- stitute a denial of the right to operate a hydraulic mine under the law, and a permit granted under its provisions, that this asso- | clation proceed to test the questions involved in the appellate court, and that the executive committee of this association be instructed to take the necessary steps in the premises. In conclusion the committee recom- mended organization, particularly in the counties affected by the provisions of the act of 183, and mentioned Nevada, Placer, El Dorado, Amador, Calaveras, | Tuolumne and Mariposa, and also the | ccunties north of Nevada, as those in | which organization is especially needed. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. The resolutions reported by the com- mittee on resolutions, of which Charies M. Belshaw .was the chairman, indorsed arew ‘‘the now national demand for a Cabinet Department of Mines and Min- ing.” They requested the Legislature to “place the Mining Bureau upon a proper basis by making a sufficient and perma- nent appropriation for its support,” and recommended that the law under which the Mining Bureau exists “be so amended that the management and direction of the bureau and the field work be under the control of the board of trustees.” The resolutions indorsed the administra- tion of the State Mining Bureau, and commended State Mineralogist Lewis E. Aubury “for the active manner in which — ADVERTISEMENTS. WEAK NERVES Are.generally caused by ths blood becoming impure, thereby depriv- ing them of the proper strength- ening nourishment.

An immediate and thorough investigation of water resources and the best methods of improving and developing the same, the investigation to be with the collabora- tion of the National and State Govern- ments, the Legislature to make a proper appropriation for the same, was recom- mended. The creation of great forest re- serves In certain sectlons was strongly opposed. The text of the resolutions on this poing is as follows: ‘Whereas, The Secretary of the Interior, un- der date of October 15, 1902, jssued orders withdrawing temporarily from settlement, en- try, sale or other disposal under the public land laws, within certain designated areas within the ‘counties of Plumas, Lassen, Shasta, Trinity, Siskiyou and Tehama, and designated in said order of withdrawal as ‘‘Lassen Peak Reservation,”” “‘Klamath Reservation,” ‘Mount Shasta Reservation” and ‘“‘Diamond Mountain Reservation,” respectively, pending an inves- tigation of the advisability of making sald proposed reserves permanent; and Whereas, The association has maintained a broad position favoring the conservation and preservation of forests and streams, but believes that to permanently establish the Drop reseryations wguld most seriously and adversely affect the future prosperity and in- dustrial activities of the said counties named, without any compensating benefit, either local- ly or in the State at large, as the creation of said reserves would accomplish the ob- ject sought only to a limited extent, if at all, as by far the greater portion of the watershed protected does not influence either agriculture or navigation; and ‘Whereas, It is a well-established fact that the topography and hydrography of this part of California is not so intimately connected with the great central valley thereof as to require any large forest reserve therein; the conditions obtaining in the southern and’ cen- tral portions of California being entirely dif- ferent from those in the northern counties, COUNTIES ARE OPPOSED. And whereas, The people resident of the sald counties named are practically united In their opposition to the establishment of said pro- posed forest reserves and in this opposition the miners of said counties join With the other people therein following now, therefore, be it Resolved, That it is the policy of this as- sociation to encourage the establishment of forest reserves in localities where the same may be established without great detriment resulting to the State therefrom and where the results therefrom would be beneficial to the State; and though we adhere to that policy, yet it is the sense of this convention that the conditions are not such as to justify the setting aside of the territory proposed and believe that the establishment of suck whoie- sale reserves would result in great injury without any compensating benefit; be It further Resolved, That this assocfation recommends a reclassification of such lands embraced in the territory withdrawn, where mining de- velopment is in progress, into mining, tim- ber and agricultural land, to the end that the mining lands of the public domain may remaf open to location as mineral land. Resolved, further, That the chairman of this convention be instructed to place a copy of these resolutions in the hands of the Hon. Secretary of the Interior and the Hon, Commissioner of the General Land Office and that a copy be by said chairman furnished to each of our Representatives and Senators in Conzress. Resolutions were adopted by which the association was again pledged in favor of the mineral lands bill; in favor of the amendment of the Revised Statutes of the United States concerning the location of mining claims; requesting the Secre- tary of the Interior to issue instructions to the local land offices that all lands embraced in so-called dry lakes shall be noted as saline in character and that the burden of proof shall be thrown upon applicants tq enter the same to show their agricultural and non-saline character; asking for an appropriation by Congress for the purpose of building additional re- straining dams and barriers upon the tributaries of the Sacramento and San other occupations; — e 3 1 NEWLY ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE CALIFORNIA MIN- ERS’' ASSOCIATION. — - Joaquin rivers and their branches to the end that hydraulic mining may be re- sumed in all parts of the State adapted therefor. SURVEYS NEEDED. In addition to these purposes the resolu- tions requested the Secretary of the In- terfor to provide for geological folios for quadrangles in the northern countles of California and also hydrographic data; instructed the association’s committee on legislation to formulate and urge upon the State Legislature a bill for an appro- priation to provide for a fire patrol for the protection of the forests of the State, the patrol to be under the direction and control of the University of California; and also asked the State Legislature to provide a liberal appropriation for “a comprehensive exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.” The following resolution was also in- cluded in the report: Resolved, That the California Miners' As- soclation, representing the mining interests of the Staté, respectfully suggest to the Speaker of the House of Representatives the appoint- ment of the Hon. J. N. Gillette as a member of the Coménittee on Mines and Mining, as one well qualified by knowledge and experience to render good service on that committee. The entire report of the committee on resolutions was adopted unanimously by the convention without discussion or amendment. Resolutions were adopted by a rising vote of the convention in memory of Sur- veyor General Gleaves and Felix Chap- pelet, who died during the year. . Papers of technical interest were read by H. % Osborne of Los Angeles, Pro- fessor Christy of the University of Cali- fornia, who was complimented by a spe- cial vote of the convention for thirty years of service for the benefit of the mining industry; G. J. Henry, concerning water power in mining -operations, and Morton Lindley on the copper proiuction of Shasta County. An address was made by Samuel M. Shortridge in favor of the proposed Na- | tional Department of Mines and Mining. Tirey L. Ford made some humorous remarks and promised to take the asso- ciation to the fair at St. Louis on a spe- cial train if his mines in Placer County, that have been paying “Irish dividends,” should become as profitable as he hoped for. On motion of Judge Belcher a resolution was adopted in response to a memorial from the California Outdoor Art League asking that City Hall Square be renamed in honor of James W. Marshall, the dis- coverer of gold in California. L Rl B0k e o i e R S ) GREAT SMELTER TO BE BUILT IN BAKERSFIELD Company Is Organized With Capital Stock of Two Million © Dollars.

How the Body i Nourished. Josh Billings once said, “It is better to know less than to know so much that ain’t so.” You can't help thinking of this when you inquire how the human body transforms Season’s Precipitation to Date the Heaviest in Years. g Special Dispatch to The Call SALINAS, Nov. 19.—Reports from all parts of Monterey County indicate a pros- perous season. The last two storms have given to the Salinas Valley more than Its vsual proportion of rain. Up to the pres- ent time nearly four inches of rain is reg- istered for the season. Plowing has com- menced throughout the county and gen- eral satisfaction is felt over the prospect of a wet year. The cattle men and sheep men report that the new grass is rapidly springing up. with a certainty ofl early feed. The sugar beet farms have been forced to suspend the picking of beets un- til the present storm ends, owing to the mud in the flelds. Reports from King City, San Ardo and all the lower por- tions of Salinas Valley are that the rain- fall of the season is the heaviest in ‘years. Snow is on the mountains. Mon- terey County has suffered heavily for the last six years from lack of rain and, with the brilliant prospect for the coming gear, everybody is rejoicing. SAN LUIS OBISPO, Nov. 19.—There have been a number of showers during the last twenty-four hours, but no great amount of rain has fallen. The prospects seem favorable for a heavy precipitation before the weather clears. Rain is not needed at the present time, though it is by no means unwelcome. The season is well advanced and feed is abundant ev- erywhere. Plows are running in every part of the county and present indica- tons are that a larger acreage than ever before will be sown in this county. The season is fully four to six weeks in ad- vance of what it usually is at this time of the year. BAKERSFIELD, Nov. 19. — Heavy showers were reported this morning from all Kern County points. In the city of Bakersfield there was a total precipita- tion of .24 of an inch; in other districts it ranged from .10 to an inch. SAN JOSE, Nov. 19.—Phe rainfall last night amounted to .62 of an inch, mak- ing 4.08 inches for the season, against 1.79 inches for the corresponding period last year. SAN DIEGO, Nov. 19.—Rain - in light showcrs began falling here at 6 o’clock this morning, developing into a heavy rain that continued throughout much of the day. SANTA ANA, Nov. 19.—Twenty-seven hundredths of an inch of rain fell here Curing the night and this morning, mak- ing a total for the season of 1.3 inches. SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 19.—The heaviest rainfall of the season began here at 7 o’clock this morning, continuing all morning and ending with a downpour at 5 o'clock that fillea the gutters to over- flowing and converted tne streets into canals. The precipitation amounted to .10 of an inch. Indications to-night are favorable for another downpour. SUICIDE STOLL’S BODY SENT TO NEW JERSEY Illness the Sole Cause of the Eastern Man’s Desire for Death. SAN JOSE, Nov. 19.—The body of Jack- son Stoll, the New Jersey merchant who committed sulcide in this city yesterday, was to-day shipped to W. D. Akerson at Newton, N. J. Mr. and Mrs. Willlam A. Barbour of Oakland, who knew Stoll well, came to San Jose and identifled the body as that of their friend. They declared that illness was the sole cause that led Stoll to end his life. NEWTON, N. J, Nov. 19.—Jackson Stoll, who committed suicide in San Jose, Cal., by swallowing chloroform, was a business man of this town and vice pres- ident of the W. D. Akerson Company, which conducts a department store here. Akerson was asked to-day about a letter from him that was found among the dead man’s effects and in which reference was made to a shortage of $1500 in some church fund. He explained that the let- ter referred to the fact that the Episco- pal church in this place was in debt to that amount. Stoll was a vestryman of the church. Akerson mentioned the fact of the shortage, as he supposed it would be of interest to his father-in-law. Akerson said that Stoll had been in poor health for the last two years. He left here on June 1,- intending to 'travel throughout the West, thinking that a ' change of scene might benefit him. "Aker- son says he knows of no reason why his ‘rather-ln-law should have wished to end his life unless it were that he had had a relapse. LEET L i Veterans Hold a Reunion.

Ask a class in, physiology what happens to a- simple meal of bread and butter when it arrives in the human stomach. You will get plenty of answers, but how many will be correct? How many will tell you that the bread, if it is made of bolted flour, contains about as much nourishment as a paper collar and that its principal good is to put the butter on. How many can explain why they are so fond of butter— with other things, but never like it by itself? Who of them will remember that the stomach can do almost noth- ing whatever with butter ex- cept pass it along to bel digested further on? > Ask what the liver does to it. How many will tell you that the liver gives it special treatment and that all fat gets into the blood in a dif- ferent way and by a shorter cut than ordinary food? How many in the class or out of it have any fair idea of what fat is really good for in the human body? Many people imagine that' fat foods are good only to. make heavy and useless flesh. Few realize that fat is one of the chief elements in sustain- ing the nerve centers and brain and supplying the fuel for muscular power and vital- ity. This is one reason why Seott’s Emulsion is so effect- ive in restoring not only the fleshy tissues but active strength and mental as well as bodily vigor. | It combines the nourishing properties of the whole ced liver oil,emulsified, with hypo- phosphites of lime and soda, which makes the oil easy to digest and at the same time greatly increases and re-in- | forces its good effect. Scott’s Emulsion is known - to be one of the richest prepa- rations (food product or medicine) in the materials most needed to make good blood and repair living tissue. It is agreeable to the taste and the stomach, puts almost no work on the digestive powers and enters the biood with great readiness. It builds up the body tissues rapidly and is a true food where nourishment is needed. Its value has been well proven in 25 years’ experience by the public and the doctors and it is widely recommended by the medical profession throughout the world.
