satisfactory in sitting rooms and sleep

New YORK HefaId.)
Expert miners and prospectors predict
that the new South African gold fields,
of which the wonderful city OF Johannis-
berg is the commercial centre, will, when
fully developed, prove to be the richest
ever discovered. The character and ex-
tent OF the deposits in that ter
ritory. certainly warrant the S: ex-
pcctation that further operations
will place it among the most fa-
nous mining regions in history. its out
put already exceeding that of any other
district OF similar geographical area with
the single exception Of California
II is to California. indeed that histo-
rians must turn for the standard with
which to ascertain the comparative rich
ness Of all other gold fields. The record
of that State In the yield of the precious
metal stands without parallel In the his
tory of mankind. No other territory ever
developed gold despoits so extensive, so
rich or SO enduring. nor has any ever wit
Messed profitable mining operations ex-
tending over such long periods OF time.
The gold produced In California since
1850 exceeds 81, %, co. and the yield at
present amounts to about sl3.0c0,GOo a year.
or perhaps S,01O,OOO more than that of
any other State. The output has de-
creased somewhat In recent years. but the
decline IS due, not to any general eXhaus-
ton of the territory, but to the suspension
OF the hydraulic mines. which OF them
selves turned out something like aO,OoO,Coo

These figures set high mark for
boomers of the South African gold fields.
They represent contribution to the
wealth OF the world never equalled by any
similar area OF territory on the face OF
the earth, And California, notwithstand-
ing the diversion of vast sums Of her
energy and capital TO profitable mining
operations FOR other minerals. is still turn

Virginia loco focos are leaplng with Joy.
With New York State Republican by over
10000 majority, Virginia goes Democratic
by nearly $1,000 The Republicans made
no effort whatever to carry New York
and were successful The Populists
strained every nerve TO upset Virginia
and their party was buried so deep in it's
political waters as to be beyond the reach

ten of these gentlemen In the House OF
Representative. The campaign had hardly
opened in Virginia before they began to
squirt over the State like comets, expa-
tiating IN the large cities and the country
towns. They whrled through the Shen-
andoah Valley and along the valley OF
the James like deryishes, and distributed
their eloquence on the banks Of the Rap

after the other they shot from Washing
