A Pleasant Outing

Mr.. Leu. Goldsmith entertained a
NUMBER of his friends at pleasant out
ing one day this week at his hacienda,
FL Rancho de Cochinillo, two miles out
of town. 1t goes without saying that
the event was particularly enjoyable.
AIR. Goldsmidt's well known artistic.con-
| ception and aesthetic taste were given
full play on this occasion, and the az
mirable arrangements only justified his
well earned reputation and added new
laurels to his crown of bays.
The party left town at twelve o'clock
| and were received by Mr.. Goldsmith at
the entrance to his grounds, and imme-
diately conducted to the cooling shades
OF the outrageous mosquitoes with which
the hacienada is delightfully."- studded.
After sumptuous collation.. a ramble
through the orchard and a critical ex-
animation of the blooded stock was fol-
lowed 10y drive to the picturesque old
church of San Xavier del BAG, whose
wonderful acoustic properties were test
ed by an inspiring rendition of Ruben
STEMS Holy! Holy The party return
ing, arrived at five o'clock, delighted
with the initial outing of the season. As
a souvenir of the occasion each lady was
presented with the knife and fork, and
tin cup and plate used by her, the cup
and plate appropriately hand painted
commemorative of the event, and all
artistically attached by ribbons. Those
present we're Mrs. Edgar, Mrs. DR.. Fen

CARE OF CUT-FLoWERS.

ALWAYS use one kind of flowers for
each room at a reception.
A PINCH of sulphate of ammonia
placed in the water in a hyacinth glass
just when the f1ower-spike is rising,
will dissolve instantly and cause the
flowers to come larger and finer than
usual.
FLOWERS may be kept very fresh over
night if they are excluded entirely from
the air. To do this, wet them thorough
ly, put in a damp box, and cover with
wet, raw cotton or wet newspaper, then
place in cool spot.
WHEN it is desirable to keep cut
flowers for some time they should not
be set in water, but thoroughly wet
wrapped closely in paper, laid in a
pasteboard box and set in cold place,
the colder the better. The ice box is a
good place, or in lien of that very
cool cellar.
ONE way of preventing delicate and
sweet scented flowers from tagging is
to cut them with several leaves on the
stem, and allow only the head to re-
main above the water, while the leaves
are entirely submerged; by this means
he leaves seem to help support the
lower, which will then last for three
lays in fairly cool room.

AHTEsIAN WATER
a Synopsis of the Bill introduced
Into the Legislature.

Section one authorizes the governor
TO appoint an "Artesian Commission" in
each county, consisting of three mem
bers from the first supervisors district
or precinct, and one from each of the
other two supervisor districts, or from
different portions of the county. Pc
litically the body shall be non partisan
and serve without pay.
Section two authorizes one well in
each supervisor district, but not upon
any reservation, railroad or grant land;
nor within any flowing well, or two
miles of any permanent stream. Each
well must be at least 100 feet deep, and
flow not less than 1900 gallons every
a hours, for ten days with a minimum
diameter of inches.
Under section and 4 the commits
sioner may appoint persons at designat-
ed points. For the first 500 feet SL50
per foot shall be paid, increasing the
rate S1.00 for each additional 500 feet, up
to 1000 feet. On striking water as
above bonus of 5000 will also be paid.
Under section s no payment shall be
made until at least 500 feet is properly
sunk. The well site must first be deed
ed to the county and the supervisors
may relet or complete themselves any
abandoned contract. All conflicting
acts ara repealed and the Statue takes
effect from passage.

Gold is very sectile-that is, it can be
cut and shaved with knife, like piece
of wood or horn, while pyrites and other
worthless minerals will crumble under
the knife-blade like lump of sugar.

work dry digging for gold along the "a
vines. Something like 200, of all ages,
sizes and sex are working there, more or
less spasmodlcally.
About % men, in gangs of to each
are engaged in the old properties.
Compressed air is used to a great ex-
tent as motive power at the works.
A new tunnel is being made at the ex
treme south end of the Quijotoa proper
ties, which will also pierce deep into the
mountain and explore there, where good
returns are expected. The tunuel is 5x9,
and three men are engaged upon il with
one of the lightning Burley drills. They
are now E25 feet in, and progressing
rapidly. No report of finds are yet
made. The tunnel is known as No. 6.
