Gold is no longer the principal product OF |
California. Though still an important one, |
1t has given place to agricultural products. |
The wheat exported from that state this |
year will amount in value to S37, 600, 600. |
There will also be expor ted 10000, 900 gal |
Ions of wine, worth as many millions of |
dollars. This goes to show that after all |
the principal source of wealth in this coun- |
try, even in the states richest IN mineral re- |
sources, Is IN the soil, rather than beneath |
it. This is the case in California and also |
In Montana, whose mines are among the |
the most removed in the union.

of the entertainment will be the choruses by |
seventeen colored damsels, whose artistic |
costumes are now being prepared by the |
lady on whom the responsibility of the con-
cert rests.

the bottom, and his companions, thinking
surely the young man could not haye es-
capped death, set about with sad hearts at
preparing to raise him to the surface. Sud
denly from the depths came voice, "Why
don't you send down a roper" The sur
prised men above replied. "We were get
ting ready to do so, and thought you were
dead" 81 don't think I'm hurt bit" was
