The obesity Of the queen of England has
been beQueathed to all her feminine descend
ents 1t is difficult for the average Ameri-
can to reconcile royalty with fat, but it must
be done When one hears Of princess, who
is a daughter or a granddaughter of the
queen, dumpineSs rises at once to tho mind.
II is rather odd that none of them inherits
the late prince consorts trim figure. The
queens daughters, including the present EN-
press of Germany, are heavy, almost shape
less and red faced womcn--the youngest,
Princess Beatrice, is now approaching the
unwieldy She is an unlovable contrast to
her much ridculed husband the slim and
well formed Prince Henry of Battenberg.
Even the daughters Of that slim and re-
markably handsome woman, the Princess of
Wales have come in for their grandmother's
heavineSs of face and figure. The oldest of
them looks like a heavy witted and duh
young woman, but she is good natured and
loves her parents The other three grand
daughters of Victoria of England passed this
morning, while was strolling in the park, in
a carriage with their royal mother, Victoria
of Germany. They are nice homelike look
ing girls, with puffy cheeks and weak chins.
1t is not particularly gracious thing to do,
this dwelling on the physical characteristics
of Queen Nictoria's feminine descendants,
but the facts are very impressive to sightseers.
1t destroys all the charm and romance of
royalty, in spite of the most vivid imagina-
ton. this remarkable tendency To obesity in
the Victorian era.-Blakely Hall in New

The big ranches of California are disap-
pearing with great rapiditv. They will soon
be among the things of the past. Until very
recent years the big ranches of California
were in the nature of public calamity. The
owners could not or would not cultivate
them; nor would they subdivide and sell
them to persons who would cultivate. The
payment of reasonable taxation was skill
fully and successfully parted. The big
ranches constituted for many years barrier
TO tho development of California. Most of
them, which in many cases embraced leagues
Of land capable of furnishing profitable en-
ployment to a large population, constituted
the field of industry of a few vaqueros. But
the day came when the holding of large un-
cultivated tracts Of land became too expen-
sive, owing to the natural and unavoidable
increase of taxes. Then began the era OF
their dissolution and one after another the
princely domains granted under Mexican
rule to the dons Of that period have been dis
appearing. San Francisco Echoes.

These figures are amazing 10 an American

produced lIOOOOODD gallons Of oil, or over
100000 barrels These figures are startling
10 the people OF this country when they turn
to ia, statistics of their own industry and

3. 800 900 barrels This is but 100000 barrels
more than the output of this one we'll in
Russia. The wonderful Thorn Creek pool in
Butler county, produced in its best twelve
months but 9bs 900 barrels more than this one

EDS. RECORD UNION The fire in the EN-
pire and Pacific mines in this place is not
yet out. Lumber has been ordered and
timber is on hand to repair the damage
done to the mines by the fire as soon as it
is fully extinguished. The outlook for
Plymouth's mining interest is brighter
than it has been for years. 1t is now said
by our expert miners that the Empire and
Pacific mines are both furnishing richer ore
than usual, and that the product of bullion
on the last cleanup of the mills was largely
IN excess OF the usual quantity, although
they were only running part of the stamps
on the last months work. The New Lon
don is developing into a very valuable mine,
ard the company will soon have o 40 or 80
stamp mill turning out bullion. The AL
pine Company will soon place more power
ful machinery on the mine, it is said, to
drain It, so that in a short time they will
be taking ore from what believe to be one
of the most valuable mining interests in
the State. The Chicago mine, John Cupps,
superintendent, is said to be looking well
and it is now thought that ii NAV prove to
be valuable mining property. AT last the
wave of mining development is rolling
northward towards the southern boundary
of the old Empire county. 1t is reported
that A. ]. Gregg has sold his ranch and
mine for the sum Of $4,000. The mine is
located On the west bank of Indian creek,
about one mile northward of Plymouth, and
is also known to be situated on the Mother
lode. We can now say that northward
Plymouth's mineral star of empire takes
its way, to join hands by the side of the
Cosumnes with the old mineral scientists
of FL Dorado. E.S HALI

WELLS.FARGO BUYS THE ERIE.
Consolidation of Two of the Great Ex-
press Companies.
The New York World of the 18th inst.

The New York World of the 18th inst.
saws:
Without doubt the most important con-
solidation that could possibly be made
in the express world was consummated
yesterday in this city. The Wells Fargo
Express Company purchased the Erie Ex-
press Company, and entered into fifteen
years contract for the control of the ex-
press business over the New York, Lake
Erie and Western Railroad and its SUBJ
sdiary and leased lines. The Erie Com
pany made complete and absolute trans
fer of all the property of its express depart
ment to the Wells Fargo. Immediate pos
session was given, and late in the afternoon
orders were sent out directing all Erie Ex-
pr SIS officials to at once report for duty to
the Wells-Fargo Company A union has
thus been made of one of the Oldest with
the youngest company in the country.
The Wells Fargo was organized on the
Pacific Coast in 1852, and its history is
closely linked with the development of the
trans Missouri country. The Erie was lust
twenty months old when 1t was absorbed,
but in its brief career had attained a phe-
nomenal growth. The Wells-Fargo, with
its service on 80 600 miles of railroad, was
by all odds the biggest company in the
United States, or in the world for that mat
ter. Before acquiring control of the Erie
system, with its 3,032 miles of railroad, it
had over two thousand offices opened. and
with that it will have between two thou
sand five hundred and three thousand. 1t
is now the only transcontnental company
running through from ocean TO ocean, and
reaches from Boston and New York to Vic
toria. B. c.; Portland, Or; Sacramento,
San Francisco, San Diego, Guaymas, Mex /;
City of Mexico, Vera Cruz, and all inter
mediate cities, States and Territories. Il
also has ocean steamship lines to Europe,
Asia and Africa. The Erie system gives it
what it never had before-i:s own indie
pendent Atlantic sesboard outlet.
