Golden the agent for the Imperial Mining Company of Chile, which corpora- tion recently acquired large properties in the islands. From reports of experts who hdve previously visited the new lo- cation it has been ascertained that placer gold in a certain portion of one of the islands is very plentiful and that the na- tives have been successful in obtalning the metal by crude processes. ‘The peace- ful condition of the country at the pres- ent time gives opportunity for visiting the interior of the islands.

CONTRAULORS COMBINE TO PRESERVE HARMONY Fifteen Lines of Business Repre- sented in a San Joaquin Organization. STOCKTON, May 2.—The Builders' Ex- change of San Joaquin County has com- pleted a preliminary organization and will formally incorporate the first of the week. The organization brings to- gether employing contractors represent- ing fifteen different lines of business, and it is proposed by the employers to act as a unit in matters affecting their common interests. It is specifically stated that it is not designed to raise prices nor antag- onize labor. An effort will be made to prevent strikes and lockouts. One purpose is to bring the various branches of building industry into har- mony and devise plans by which friction in one line will not handicap all others. The general plan of the organization is similar to the Bullders’ Exchange of San Francisco and the ones in Sacramento and Fresno. The organization has been proceeded with very quietly and there is some interest in the outcome.

Though the scheme in all its essential details has not vet been ratified by the several organizations concerned, it is/ likely to be at no late date, and Carne- gie's proffered munificence will not be permitted to remain unutilized.

Bishop Frederick Burgess, of the Long Island Episcopal diocese, speaking of the Vanderbilt marriage, said: have no doubt whatever that Rev.

NEW YORK, May 2—Nearly 0 evic- tion cases came up in the Fourth' Munic- ipal_Court yesterday. Many of the evict- ed tenants told pitiful stories. 'The increase in the number of evictions cr this May 1 over May 1 last year is said to be about 100 per cent and the in- crease over the number on April 1 of this year about %5 per cent. This state of af- fairs is partly due to the fact that the tearing away of tenement bulldings to make way for the approach to the East River bridge and of others to make way for parks has diminished the dwelling area of ‘this district considerably.

This is only ome of the the times.
