The United tates advanced to & position as one of the foremost nations of the world. The commerce of the Pacific Ocean at once attracted attention. Formerly our city had only three lines of regular foreign-going steamships and the: nage. Now there bave been added to the fleet of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company two enormous trans-Pacific vescels, the Korea and the Siberia, each of 11,500 tons. The Oceanic Steamship Company has added three enormous steamers to its fleet and. in fact, all the deep sea-going vessels have had their tonnage | creased to meet the requirements of the port. Before passing from this subject I cahnot but aek what has been done by our own State to accommodate these and other big lines yet 1o be. Have we extended the sea wall or have new wharves been built? What is needed is mction at once by the State Leglslature ap- propriating enough money for the completion of the docks south of Folsom street for the re- quirements of thie modern traffic. A break- water should be built from North Polnt. The present pler from Union street south to the Ferry building should be lengthened. These are only some of the improvements that are needed on the water front. San Francisco being the largest city of the State, the whole State will be benefited by these improvemente, as what benefits the city benefits the State, OAKLAND HARBOR'S NEEDS. While taking up the various questions of such vital interest in our own port, we have not been unmindful of our neighbors, and especially of our sister city Oakland, and ha used our best efforts to induce Congress to fu- vor the dredging of Oakland harbor. In this connection we might also mentfon the government of Alaska, as we have taken action looking to Congress to grant more fa- rable laws for the government of this Terri- e at certain seasons of the year | to the commercial community | products to in- | were vessels of small ton- | by members of the chamber. sl t wiil shortly follow.

Farly in the year vour trustces took favorable | action to_induce Congress to enact a law allow a Pacific cable to be laid by private parties and the result speaks for itself. San | Francisco is now the Fastern terminus of the reat trans Pacific cable Year's day | maw for the first time messages flying back [ard forth and during the various receptions | and entertainments held for the founder of | this cable, Mr. Clarence Mackay, and party, | we were awsurid that the other Sections from | { Honolulu to China would not only be lald | but be In operation by July 4 of this year. I annot say what this means to California, as | the subject is too vast to be treated in my | annual report. Another matter of great importance to our city and port was the conference brought about by your trustees and the vice president of the Sacramento Valley Development Asgo- clation, resulting in the awakening of North- ern California. Many meetings were held; delegates from all the northern portions of the State were present; much hard work was per- | formed, and the result is the formation of the | California Promotive Aommittee, composed of | the various organizations of the Coast each arganization having a representative therein. Your chamber is not only very ably represent- ed_but its representatiye is aiso the executive | officer of the association, A strong effort has been made By your trus- | teés to have more favorable laws aliowing re- | bate of duty on all forelgn material manu | factured here and exported and we have ever: | reason to belleve the result will be favor- | able, Too much cannot be said of the work of our Representative in Washingtdn, D. C. Your | trustees, after careful and deiiberate consid- | 1on, have concluded to keep this representa- | tive in' Washington, at least for another vear. Individually 1 believe in a permanent repre- sentative, as we cannot hope to accomplish anything’ without our own representative on the ground to keep us thoroughly posted on the movements now going on,_ THANKS TO COMMIITEES. The thanks of the chamber are due to our varioug committees. The finance committee, under the able chairmanship of our vice presi- dent, E. R. Dimond, has enabled us te carry through our work and left us with a balance to (he good on hand. Our library committee, under the chairmanship of our only retiring member, A. G. Towne, has ma- terially increased the number of volumes in our possession, which will now average about 2000 volumes. ' Our foreign commerce and rev- enue laws committes under the strong guiding hand of its chairman, A. B, Field, has done first-class committee work, and after careful thought and attention has recommend- ed measures that have materially added to the importance of our foreign commerce. Our {n- ternal trade and improvement committee has also had an active year, thanks to its ener- getic _chairman, W. J. Dutton.

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 20.—The Jargest deal that has taken place in this l.os Angeles this morning, when the Bag- dad group of mines, near Ludlow, were for $1,000,000. The mines are without exception the richest yet discovered, even outrivaling the famous low Aster group in Kern County. Some time ago the London capi- talists sent from the East an eminent mining expert to look over the property. | He went into one of the closest examina- | tions ever made of a mining property in | this State, figuring out to the breadth of | a hair the course and amount of ore Everything was done with like nicety, and a few days ago he completed this work and left to submit the result to his employers. The rich group daily proving that after a man has been prospecting a few years he becomes unfitted for further ef- fort jn that line, the groumd under s of gold is found, | London capital, was driven over for many years by old and experienced miners, who laughed at the idea of the territory being worth any- thing. < which is attracting Rioting Prisoners Shot by Troops.

The Old DOGTORS PRESCRIBE IT. ‘Whenever there is a case of cough, cold, bronchitis, croup, asthma, whooping cough, measles, hoarseness, or sore lungs in the family, and the doctor wishes to give the patient speedy relief and a posi- tive cure, he prescribes the medicine that always cures—Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. GURES GOUG 1t has been a household remedy for the past fifty years, and there is scarcely a home or cabin in the United States that has not a bottle of this wonderful cure in the medicine closet. It contains no in- jurious drugs. It heals the throat and lungs and renders them perfectly healthy. It leaves nobad after-effects, Allleading dmw—:fl:'l:lr Bull's Cough Syrup.
