JOHN SHEER, P. M.
In the vicinity of Patterson there is a
heavy belt of oil shale, cropping out a
distance of more than one mile, and
presenting the appearance of great coal
bank. Small pieces of this shale placed
in hot muffle will burn for several
minutes with clear oil flame. When it
is considered that about all the shale
used in the manufacture of gas on this
coast is imported from Australia, some
idea of its value may be formed. No
effort has been made to develop it; its
very existence being known to but few.
Like many other properties its value
depends on cheap transportation, but we
venture the prediction that it will yet
become source of wealth to the County.
If the number of INDECENT sick, cared
for by the County, has increased to such
an extent that some other means, than
those at present employed for their care,
seem necessary, would it not be we'll to
try advertising for bids to care for them
for time, rather than plunge into the
expense necessary to erect and maintain
a proper hospital as seems to have been
discussed somewhat at the last sitting of
the Board of Commissioners. The
Countys present finances do not justify
the latter course and former experience
here in the same line, showed what a
terrific drain on public revenues the
maintenance of such an institution
created.

He sits at his table leaning comfortably back
in his chair and meeting all, save a few spe-

persist in seeking to obtain information.
He was rather nicely caught, however, the
other day. A friend of mine called on him
and asked in respect to the status Of a case.
The high and mighty petty official could not
remember anything about it. After good
deal of conversation my friend finally said:
