THE TRICKS Coftee Plays on Some. It hard pays to laugh before you are certain of facts, for it is sometimes humiliating nk of afterward: Wheén 1 was a young girl I was a but was sick so much te guit and I did, rriage my husband it again as he did e coffee caused the of coffee tald So 1 commenced it again and con- tinued about six months until my stommeh commenced acting bad and choking as if I had swallowed some- thing the size of an egg. One doctor said it was neuralgia and indigestion. One day I took a drive with my husband three miles in the country and nk a cup of coffee for dinner. I thought sure-I would -die before I got ack to town to a-doctor. I was drawn ! the buggy and when my hus- to the doctor’s office misery came up my ‘throat' and seemed to shut my h off entirely, then left 2all in a and went to my heart. The doc- r pronounced it nervous heart trouble and when 1 got home I was so weak I uld not’ sit-up. “My husband- brought my supper to my bedside with a nice cup of hot coffee, -but I sald: ‘Teake that back, dear, I will never drink another cup of offee if you gave me everything you are worth, for it is just killing me.’ He and the others laughed at me and said: ““The jdea of .coffee killing anybody.” “ “Well,” I said, ‘it is nothing else but eoffee that is doing it’ “In the grocery one day my husband was persuaded to buy a box of Postum, which he brought home and I made it for dinver and we beth thought how good it was, but said nothing to the hired men and they thought they had drunk coffee until we laughed and told them. Well, we kept on with Postum and it was not long before the color came back to my cheeks and I got stout and felt as good as I ever did In my life. -1 have no more stomach trouble’ and I know I owe it all to Postum in place of coffee. “My husband has gained good health on.

Round about these blithe harbingers pring were eight great silken bs pink, yellow and blue, shedding a faint glow over the | throng below. 'And in each| corner were these same pale lights| Green there was in pro-| fusion, strands of huckleberry wind- | ing about the pilars, while date palms and glossy magnolia leaves clustered | about their bases. The newest note | in the scheme was the rustic fence nd picturesque gateway which sep- arated the musicians from the guests, and this was a mighty pretty conceit. Supper was served as usual in the marble and maple rooms. It was for this delight that many of the guests | had come. As a lover of artistic er-] fects I have often wondered why the Palace doesn’t invest in a uniform lot of dining chairs—it causes such a commotion as to who will sit upon the royal red satin ones, or upon the ple- | beian hard seated chairs from the kitchen. It looks somewhat like a separation of the sheep from the goats. There were some terribly stunning gowns worn last night, quite a few of Among them were: Miss Sybil Hodges, pale blue chiffon. Mre.

The City Attorney was directed to solicit offers ! 2117[1 the sale of the property to the y. Three sites were submitted several | months ago for the purpose, but action was postponed unti¥® Civic Architect . H. Burnham could be present to give his views on the subject. The sites included Western Addition block 73, bounded by Hayes, Franklin and Fell streets and Van Ness avenue; block | 6¢, bounded by Polk, Hayes and Fell | streets and Van Nes avenue, and block 67, bounded by Fulton, Grove and Polk streets and Van Ness avenue. The protest of the Hayes Valley Im- provement Club against the selection of block 73 was read. A large delegation of property-owners on Hayes street, headed by P. A. Giannini and Harry Kelly, was present in support of the | protest. Civic Architect D. H. Burnham ad- dressed the board relative to his plans for a civic center and favored block 73. ———— Policeman Brutally Assaulted.

A fashionable audience gathered at the Tivoll last night to witness the performance of “Boccaceio” for the benefit of the San Francisco Materni; Hospital. A snug sum was ru.u’:x from the affair.

H. Benjamin of the Cal- | ifornia Miners’ Association thinks that | favorable consequences will flow from the investigation that has been deter- mined upon by the Secetary of the In- terior, to be conducted in this State by the United States Geological Survey, of which exclusive information was published in The Call yesterday. It is proposed to ‘find out, briefly, whether | the detritus from torrential streams may be deposited on waste lands in such manner as to reclaim the lands and, at the same time, remeve from torréntial streams their burden of detritus and rehabitate hydraulic min- ing. The investigation has been brought California Miners’ Association. At the last annual convention of that asso- ciation in this city Professor Christy of the University of California advo- cated the work. The association at once aduptgd the idea and memorial- ized President Roosevelt to have an in- vestigation made by the United States Geological Survey. The detritus has been a subject for burning discussion | the State north of Te-| hachapi for many years. Investigation ' into the entire detritus matter is now agsured. Many questions may be solved thereby. | Now that the Government of the United States has come in to help the | State of California the action of the California Miners’ Association looms up largely as a matter of general con- cern in which the entire State is in- terested. Professor Christy, making his. memorable address to the California Miners' Association in favor of a thor- ough investigation of conditions in the watersheds of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, said that the back- wardness of the portion of the State that lies north of Tehachapi as com- pared with the region south of the | that California had killed the goose that laid the golden egg. He referred to hydraulic mining as the gold-egg laying goose and showed that between 1848 and 1883, a period of thirty-five averaged $31,000,000 a year, or ‘leav- ing out the Sundays, the gold egg was worth for every working day $100,000.” Attention was also directed by Pro- fessor Christy to some significant facts | relating to the present condition of mining in California as compared to its former extent. In part he said, accord- ing to the official minutes of the Cali- fornia Miners' Association: LOSS OF MANY MILLIONS. Last year hydraulic mining had practically ceused, driit mining, quartz mining and dredg- ing had increased enormously ov-: what they had been, and yet the gold p.duct of the State was only $17,000,000, about one-half of wrat it formerly averaged. Of course $100,000 a day was not all produced by hydraulic min- ing, but the great bulk of it was. This money went to enrich the valley. In the early days of the Argonaut Marysville and Sacramento were the chief intellectual and business cen- ters of the State, and their existence and pros- perity Were made possible by the hydraulic mineér. - The farmer had a direct market for he was pafd in gold, and the whole community Was prosperous. Mr. Bow.e, in his book on hydraulic mining. of capital invested in hydraulic mining; all of this is mow practically destroyed. The energy with which this industry was prosecuted by the men of those days is the admiration and the model of the world. The reservoirs built above the snow line; the ditch lines hundreds of miles long, which were carried over mountain tops and along the faces of precipices, and maintained through summer’s heat and winter's snow; the pipe lines going down a thousand feet into the valleys and up again to ditch grades: the hydraulic monitor; the whole paraphernaila of hydraulic mining, show an inventiveness, a fertility of resource and an energy In the execution which has no parallel in the world. But all this has been swept aside. All this has been made useless by the decisions of the courts. At the present time there are few things more pathetic than the position of some of those old Argonauts who worked these wonders. Worn and broken by lonely years spent in the development of the State, they sit beside their ruined cabins and gaze upon blasted hopes. By violating the law, by turn- ing loose the hydraulic monitor in the night time they might easily enrich themselves, but, with very few exceptions, they have loyally respected and upheld the that ruined them. The farmer, whose lands have been over- wheimed with sediment, has been ruined aiso. And we have here one of the most pitiful situations in the history of our State. Though hydraulic mining has been destroved the farmer still finds himself deluged with debris coming' from the mcuntains, and! according to the newspapers, the slogan of the Antl. Debris Soclety now i8: “All kinds of mining look alike to me.” This deadlock between these two fundamental industries is a public calamity. It has come to have all the bitter- ness of a religlous war. There have been prosecutions and there have been persedutions, ana it is a great misfortune to all that when- ever anything goes wrong along the rivers of California hydraulic mining is blamed for it. FOR HYDRAULIC MINING. law | bert street, No concealment was made in conven- tion of the fact that the California Miners’ Association desires to rehabil- itate hydraulic mining if it can be done with advantage to both the miner and the farmer. Of course this would be ideal if a great industry could be op- erated without injury to any one and with benefit to all. The coming inves- tigation is calculated to determine that very proposition and hence the great and absorbing interest that will attach to every step. The farming lands along the courses of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and the gold deposits of the mountains that can only be worked to advantage by the hydraulic process are equally concerned. Professor Christy saild, in one part of his ad- dress, voicing the sentiment of miners: The first and most vital measure is to re- move the coarser sediment from the torrential streams before they enter the navigable streams, by depositing this coarser sediment on waste land. It this s done on a proper scale, and in a systematic manner, hydraulic mining can go on just as it used to, without danger to the interests of any other Industry. If it is not done, even if hydraulic mining is stopped foreyer, the bullding of levees will be ‘worse than juseless, for they will simply in- veyance of the natural sediment oA the river il Slea t fs removed, ver will clear Seit "with ' Nttle Aid from an intxpunll%; levee system. The suggestion concerning a memo- rial to President Roosevelt came also from Professor Christy, as follows: I would, therefore, suggest that this assoeia- either directly or through its Eeaiye o g5 ‘waters may bemznfl re- vented, and, second: iverted .:’A zenollt'afl on waste lands and be dives thus removed by natural fore the ‘waters are discharged into the wa- with all dispatch consistent -m'm""“..."‘ unarmmmmmnmu b T G b o &Mdmm o HITCHCOCK’S OPINIONS. The investigation will follow along lines indicated herein. In a letter t Hitchcock wrote to the president of the California Miners' As- sociation Is the following: XY S e the California Miners’ Association can be of material assistance in keeping this fact before the public, namely, that the activities along these lines will be largely proportional to the facilities afforded by the State itself. The “activities” to which reference Is made in the foregoing are described by Director Walcott of the Geological Survey to consist of topegraphic map- ping to cover a portion of the catch- ment basins of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers; geological studles and stream measurements; location and survey of reservoir sites, and study of forestry protection. Director Wal- cott, writes also that “it is significant that the California Miners’ Assoclation turns to the Geological Survey for ad- vice to help restore an important in- dustry.” The foundation has been laid in the work of the past few years in Califor- nia for a full and satisfactory investi- gation such as the miners are eagerly seeking. e Drinks Wood Alcohol.
