County Government Act Is Placed on a Solid Footing. ECEFEP RS The so-called county government act was declared valid by the Supreme Court vesterday. It was supposed by many of the State's leading attornéys that this piece of legislation would fall flat when tested, as did the Code of Civil Procedure, and for the same reasons. Constable M Beach of Stockton Township believed the enactment uncon- stitutional, and inasmuch as he would re- ceive more pay under the old law than under the new one, he hrought against the Auditor of San Joaquin Coun ty in order that the distasteful legisla- tion might be declared invalid. Section 2, articie 1V of the constitution says: “Every act shall embrace but one subject, which shall be expreseed in its title. * * * No law shall be revised or amended by reference to the title, but in such case the act revised or section amended shall be re-enacted and pub- lished at length as revised or amend- A The legislation of 1801 was entitled An act to amend an act entitled ‘An t to establish a uniform system of county and township governments, ap- proved April 1, 1887," by amending certain suit | | MAKING LARGE DEALS IN OIL Railroad and Standard Companies Are the Buyers. Workers on Quartz Ledges Are Active in Many Districts. Large transactions in oll are focusing public attention. Rumors concerning what is going on are current. The par- ties to deals are keéping their own coun- sel. Nevertheless it is announced, on what would seem to be excellent xumor-. ity, that the Standard Ofl Company has bought practically the entire output of the corporations known as the Home and Chanslor & Canfield companies in the Coalinga field. This means that 24000 barrels per month have been comuclg for, the full period of such supply cover five vears. Therefore in round numbers a market has been made certain for 1,440,000 barrels of Coalinga oil. The price mentioned in the contracts is stated to be 65 cents per barrel at the wells for the first two years and 70 cents per bar- rel for the remainder of the five years' perfod. On this basig the selling com- panies will receive $979,200 for their prod- uct now contracted for in the next five vears. Concerning the recent transactions of the Associated Oil Company much secrecy is observed. That some deal has been made with the Southern Pacific Company is generally credited. The story told by | the Pacific Oil Reporter is that a com- | sections thereof, revising certain other sections and adding certain sections thereto.” Beach contended that the title of the last quoted law was defective and the whole statute as amended was not re- enacted. The court holds that the title was correct and that it was not neces. sary for the law as amended to be r nacted because the new legislation was not such a revision as contemplated by the constitution in the vrovision quoted. { In the case of the Code of Clvil Procedure the revision was of such character, the | court says. Constable Beach and other officers af- fected by this decision will serve their re- spective local governments therefore for less money than they thought. The SBupreme Court also decided yester- day that Justice Lorigan, while Superior Judge of Santa Clara County, did wrong in issuing against Myra Wright an injunc- | tion forbidding her to proceed with a suit | against the Jersey Island Packing Com | | pany in the courts of San Francisco. The | question involved was the ancient one of | concurrent jurisdiction. —_——— WASHINGTON GRAIN CROP NOT UP TO THE AVERAGE Inspectors Say 'Fh:t the Outlook in | Some Sections of the State Is Unsatisfactory. | TACOMA, June 26.—Chief Deputy Grain Inspector King is making a tour of East- Washington grain districts with In- spector Arrasmith for the purpose of forming a correct estimate of the yield ern | cepted. + | | of the coming grain crop. King says the | epring sown grain looks well but is late. He thinks, however, with the right kind of weather it will produce a fair crop, with the yield running probably 15 to 20 per cent below that of last year.

In the same circular the statement is amde that the consideration received from the Asso- ciated Oil Company when the San Joa- quin property was old to the Associated Ofl Company was gold bonds of the Asso- clated Oil Company amounting to $196,759 and 2,330,516 shares of stock of the Asso- ciated Oil Company. Concerning the progres of oil through ihe great pipe line of the Standard Oil Company from the Kern River field tu Point Richmond the Stockton Independent tays: Much has been written about the new pipe line of the Standard OIl Corpany, which ex- tends from Kern County through San Joaguin County to Point Richmond, and some papers have made an effort of late to convince the public that the gigantic scheme is not a suc- cess, but it now Jooks as If the system Is working all right. There was some trouble at first getting the oil started, as it was cool weather and the fluid was very thick, but now appears to be working smoothly. The ‘entire line has been tested with water and found to be all right. The oil is being forced toward Point Richmond and is expected to be running through San Joaquin County in & few days. SIERRA CITY MINES. Some account of the working of the mines near Sierra City is given by the Nevada County Miner, which says ‘Thé outlook now is good and m y improve- ments are in progress, with every indication of being of & lasting nature. The Sjerra- venty-stamp mill running Buttes mine has a on fair rock and is payving small monthly divi- dends to its stockholders. The Keystone has Tun & long crosscut and tapped its led) ning along its course a distance of feet, and it is believed to be good milling ore. The Butte Eaddle has been bonded for a term of five years. The Sierra-Butte No. 2, owned by Mr. Martin and some San Francisco men, prob- ably will be worked this season. Severai thou- and dollars has been expended on the prop- erty, but nothing has been done there recently because of the lack of water for power, it be- ing difficult to get a satisfactory contract for the water. There are no idle men about Slerra City, those not engaged In the larger mines giving their attention to small placer claims. The Yreka Journal says that the Rus- sian Creek mining district, on Salmon Mountain, just over the summit from Etna, is becoming one of the richest quartz mining sections in Siskiyou Coun- ty. Regarding this district It says: The group of claime located by Music & Tetherow contain several pockets or kidneys, all of good size, some being at least two feet in width, with several more claims located by other parties. This is a good locality for work- ing quartz, as there is an abundance of water all the year round, sufficient for ample mill power, and the country affords fine opportunity Yor running tunnels to strike ore and secure excellent drainage at same time. A small mill is mow in operation at this locality for pros- pecting purposes, and ghould an extensive per- manent ledge be found a large mill will no doubt be erected B. A. Cardwell, who has bonded the hydraulic claims of J. 8. Lowden Jr., at Hamburgh Bar, as agent for Eastern capitalists, has gone East to complete arrangements for their development on an_extensive scale in building a fourteen- mile ditch from Scott River. He will also formulate plans in regard to opening _up the ground bonded In Shasta Valley, near Snowden station, on the S.

The Redding Searchlight says that a recent traveler through the Coffee Creek district, in Trinity County, reports as fol- lows regarding the same: At the Dorleska the vein has widened to a jedge twenty feet in width. At the Yellow Rose excavations and facings are just being made for & tunnel which will tap the ledge at depth of 200 feet, The trail from Trinity nter up Swift Creek, a distance of elghteen miles of the Coffee Creek mines, has been cleared out and is paseable. The other trail s twenty-three miles in length. There is no wagon road into this rich district as yet. The Three Peaks mine will put up a 20-stamp mill. Regarding conditions at Fir Cap the Nevada County Miner has the following: J. W.

Chew Bun Qoy, better known as Jue Bun, the wealthy Alaskan fish dealer, was buried yesterday morning from his late residence at 711 Commercial street. | The funeral was one of the most elabo- rate and best attended that has been held for a number of years from the local Chi- nese quarter. Preparations for the funeral, which eost several thousand dollars, were- com- menced early yesterday morning. The scene was one of people hurrying to and fro and decorations were brought from' all directions. When the priests and the band of mourners arrived the street for nearly a block was jammed and it was with difficulty that the police kept the crowd from interfering with the funeral. Their voices, drowned by the waliling of the- mourners and the clang of the tom- toms, the high priests performed the last rites in the regulation Mongolian fash- jon amd ‘the cortege started for the ceme- tery. At the latter place the services for the dead were repeated and the spirit left to go its way in peace. Bun was an old resident and had been Il about five months. He had employed in the neigh- borhood of 4000 Chinese yearly to go to the northern fisheries and transacted most of such business for the large com- mercial companies. Bun always recognized honesty as be- ing paramount in the make-up of the Mongolian and started the system of ad- vancing money to men who sought em- ployment with him. Each year sums ranging from $20 to $200 were advanced to thousands of applicants for positions several months before they sailed for their places of employment. As a rule each debtor showed up and went to work, and when he did all was well, but Bun was merciless when he detected a breach of faith and usually punished in a man- ner of his own. BLAZING FLUID BURNS WORKMEN Agitator Tank Explodes at the Standard 0Qil Works. POINT RICHMOND, June 26.—For the third. time since the works were built an agitator tank exploded to-day at the Standard Oil Company's works, wreck- ing the half filled 10,000-gallon receptacle and causing the serious injury of C. J. Lepley, in charge of the tank, who was badly burned and hurled fifty feet by the force of the explosion. ‘ That Lepley was not killed outright seemed a miracle. A minute before the explosion the workman was on the head of the big steel reservoir intending to examine the distillate fluid therein when he started down the ladder. Lepley was blown off by the explosion and a sheet of flame from the ignited ofl shot by him. The heavy steel tank cover was blown 100 feet into the air and landed with a crash. The shock smashed windows about the works and at Point Richmond. Employes hastened to the scene. Lepley was taken in hand by the works' physi- cian and pumps were set to draw off the ofl from the tank. There were 5000 gal- lons of distillate in the reservoir, much of which was saved. Those In charge at the refinery said they could not explain the cause of the explosion. The tank is used in one of the processes of oil refining and at the stage when the agitator goes into service aclds are used on the base fluld. It is sur- mised that water came in contact with the working ofl and caused a gas to form that proved highly explosive. The damage was not great, $1800 being the estimate. The tank will be repaired. The injured workman was burnéd on the head, shoulders and right side and was bruised badly. He is 40 years old, mar- rled, and resides at Point Richmond. The attending physician says the patient will recover. —_————— Japanese Kills a Fellow Laborer.

An account of mining progress in El Dorado County is givén by the Placerville Nugget, which says: The 11 Dorado Copper and Gold Mining Com- pany has acquired a number of quarta mines and Is ring to put up a large steam hoist- fug plant to be used in the development of the Eureka and Woodsides quartz mines. The company has had a number of men employed in deveiopment work for the last four months. J. E, Shettle has bonded the Joseph Shrupple Copper location situated on Mathenas Creek, wouth of El Dorada, for a San Franclsco com- pany. company purposes to do a great deal of development work on the property. Work has commenced on a new shaft for thé mine. The new Bryant roller mill at the Game- cock mine, Webber Creek district, was started ap Saturday morning. Work is still being vig- orously_prosecuted at the Mammoth mine Just across Webber Creek from the Gamecock. The funnel on Monday last was in a distance of 251 feet. Both properties are being developed by the Rustlers Mining Company. The new ten stamp mill at the Jasper mine on Webber Creek is nearly completed, and it is thought that the stamps will be dropping by the first of July. They are drifting on the. 100-foot fevel. The lumber for the new mill and other buildings that are to be. érected at the Del Monte miné on the American River, five miles helow Coloma, was hauled in last week. The company intends o equip the mine with a two stamp triple dischargé miil. The Gazette-Mariposan reports that the Hayseed mine has resumed. Teats has purchased a stamp mill for the Spread Eagle mine. The Tuolumne Independent says that Willlam Sharwood has sold a half-inter- est in the Mountain Belle quartz claim to John N. and E. W. 8. Woods of Stock- ton, and also the Parallel claim. The Sunset quartz mine, on Knights Creek, has been bonded by George Miner to George B. Lynn. A ten-stamp mill wiil be put on the Phillips mine, operated by Joghua Phillips. An addition will be made to the mill at the Mohican mine and the plant will have a new hoist. The Bri Chronicle-Union says that the report that the May Lundy mine is closéd down is untrue. The mine is working fifty to sixty men. THAN YEAR RGO Bradstreet Reviews Bus- iness Conditions in Optimistic Vein. Declares That Prospects for the Future Appear Very Bright. NEW YORK, June 26.—Bradstreet’s to- morrow will say: Crop and labor conditions still present | some frregularities, but six months’ trade returns point to the fact that business has been better than a yaar ago and the situation a whole shows favorable fea- tures predominating as to the future. The feeling is that as time passes the latter will largely outweigh the few -notable drawbacks to possible future activity. | Unseasonable weather, cold in the East, rainy in the West, and dull retail trade, accentuates unusual quietness in whole- sale trade and retards crop development. The fron and steel situation on the whole seems to have improved somewhat. Large contracts have been made for rails by leading trunk lines and central West- ern roads. The condition of other fin- ished products is better and, even in cruder forms, the feeling is fairly firm, except for foundry pig iron. The railroad earnings are better than was earlier ex- pected, despite floed interruptions in the first part of the month, and returns for the first week of June show a gain of 9 per cent over a year ago, while those for the second and third indicate increases of 10 to 12 per cent in excess of last year. Wool Is firmer, largely in sympathy with primary markets, <vhere the nuew clip 1s being taken freely at advancing prices. Hides are firmer at Boston.

G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say: No definitely unfavorable element is ap- parent in the business situation, but there are several uncertainties that en- gender conservatism. In regard to distri- bution of merchandise the long period of low prices has curtailed trade in dry goods, clothing and other seasonable lines. Stocks have accumulated and pros- pects for semi-annual inventories are not altogether encouraging. Rallway ‘earn- ings thus far available for June surpass | last year's by 10.2 per cent and.exceed | those of 1901 by 17.4 per cent. 1 After further moderate concessions in prices of iron and steel, especially in pig iron and partly finished shapes, the mar- ket has steadied and there are Indications that no additional reductions of conse- quence are probable for the present. ‘Wool is unchanged and quiet. Faflures this week were 273 in the Unit- ed States, against 200 last year, and 19 in Canada, compared with 20 a year ago. —_————— i Corbett’s Work ,Cut Down. 3 Professor Thomas Dare, the scientific trainer of ex-Champion James J.

His pro- gramme on the day previous was the same. Jim now feels as lively as an un- broken mustang and Keeps Professor | Dare wide awake to determine which way the big fellow will next jump. Dare be- | lieves all work and no rest would make Jim a dull fighter and he means to have his noted pupil take things ecasier. With him the trainer does not have to say, | “Do this,” but on the contrary the usual command is, “Quit that.” Professor Dare i is satisfied to see Jim lounge about in the | open and breathe in his fill of heaithy | Alameda ozone. Corbett believes “that this can be better done if he goes on the road, but his trainer comes back at him with® the theory that it is not how fast a man breathes but the manner in which he breathes that brings the best results. Dare holds that regular exercise at deep breathing, holding the breath and expanding the chest are the better ways of increasing the staying qualities of one’s lungs. He says greater benefits can be derived from this sort of exercise than tramping on the road. ———————— Jeffries’ Change of Plan: The reason of James J. Jeffries’ sudden’ change of plans regarding training quar- ters has become public. It seems when he was first approached on the subject of gettling down at El Campo he thought favorably of that resort. At that time he was told there would be but one picnle a week to disturb him. After- he decided to train there he found his presence was be- | ing used as an attraction to draw more pienics to the grounds. To make matters worse some one announced that Jeffries and Fitzsimmons would judge and start all the picnic games. This was too much for the big boxer, who took the first train for Harbin. He left Delaney and Eagan behind to straighten out affairs with the El Campo people. The new handball court is ready for any players who may wish to it i i Sportsmen Make Good Records.
