Only two of the States of the Union
have larger houses of representatives
than Vermont. They are our neighbor,
New Hampshire, with 35S, and Connect
icut, with 252. The great State of New

and Texas has the same number.

Ferris New Era: At the annual meet
ing OF the miners of Pinscate mining
district, held at H. @. StesPs on Wednes-
day, February 9TH, it was decided by a
vote of IA to not to change the name
OF Pinacats mining district, to Ferris
mining district. The Good Hope and
Hearn group of mines were not repre-
sented.
The annual election of officers was
held on the same day. ]. M. Hsssen
was elected chairman and E. e. Waters
secretary. Ii. @. Steele was elected re-
corder and Chss. Smith secretary for
the ensuing year. Section 16 of the
present rules was changed go as to read
that the assessment work required to
be done on each location for each year
as per mining laws of the United States
shall be computed at $500 per day of
faithful work of eight hours per ay."
This alteration was unanimously APP
proved. The meeting then adjourned.

. The percentage OF loss through re-
lapse or return to their old habits ia
small. The improvement in discipline
is very marked. The morale OF the
home stands second to none.
An auxiliary to the institute is the
Kelley league, composed OF the grad
yates. This organization is admirably
constituted to promote the interests OF
the cause Of reform, and is doing won
ders in inducing comrades who, through
mistaken Judgment upon the nature OF
the Kelley remedies, hold aloof until
their excuses nearly compass their
death. Men are brought in for treat
ment who are physical wrecks, and
within lew DAYS are restored to their
manhood and health.
The largest number in line for treat
ment at any one period since the insti-
tute was established was 50, on Deem
Der 10, 1898. An average OF 81 in line
has been maintained throughout the
year.
The vile whisky dens which 30 closely
hedged in the home in former days are
receiving little patronage. Many OF them
have been suppressed.
AS shown by the records, since the
Kelley remedies have been introduced,
there have left the home. able to main
tain themselves, 1854 graduates OF the
institute who are believed to have been
permanently cured of the disease OF al
choholism and opium addiction. They
are now good citizens. One hundred
and thirty-two married men have been
restored to families that have been neg
lected or deserted for years. Very few
graduates have returned from furlough
this year, which indicates that the OBJ.
ject of most of those absent ia to remain
outside the home. Their absence ena-
bles us to provide for an equal number
OF deserving men.
The per capita cost OF maintenance for
the focal year ending June 80, 1898, at
this branch. was $140.25. On that basis
the annual saving to the government
by reason of these men having been per-
manently restored to society, is SOL, 05l.
The facts cited speak for themselves.

already achieved to renewed and greater

OF the many in our midst who are yet

Proceedings of the Southern Caiifornia
Association.
The Southern California Chronological
society met in regular session last Tues
day. The forenoon was taken up with
the reports of the various committees
and other regular business. The after
noon session was given to papers and
discussion. A very interesting paper
was read on the Treatment OF Pulpless
Teeth, which was thoroughly discussed,
all agreeing that the paper was most
able one and did the author much
credit.
Many of the leading dentists through.
out Southern California have already
allied themselves with this society, and
great interest is being manifested at
each meeting. 1t is we'll known fact
that this part of the state has many
dentists who are eminent in their pro-

this dental society.

Sebastian Miller and Antoine frost are
both in excellent CO ndition for the big
wrestling contest at Hazards pavilion
Wednesday evening, February 14th,
and one of the greatest wrestling
matches ever seen on the coast is ex-
pected.
Mr.. Antoine frost is a young man, 23
years old, and weighs, in condition, 225
pounds. He is the champion wrestler
of his country and has never been de-
feated.
The betting at present is slightly in
Mr.. Miller's favor, although he has not
a very easy Job on his hands by any
means. The match is to be Greco
Roman style, best 2 out of falls, for
$500 a side.

Geo. s. Bisbee. who owns q ranch
near the West Side school house,
picked and sold last year from two-fifths
Of an acre OF trswberries, 1898 boxes.
He received $365.l0 for these, az the
rate of little over 5000 per acre. In
addition to the berries sold, several
hundred boxes we're used by the family.
Mr.. Bisbee's ranch is light, sandy

berries. We believe this is the largest
yield of strawberries of which there is
any record in Southern California, and
1t simply shows the possibilities of
small fruits here.

Ferris Now Era: Work on the Rosa
liza is progressing iapidly. The 200 foot
level has been reached, and station
will be put in at that point preparatory
to running drifts along the vein. The
outlook is most encouraging. The vein,
which was about two feet thick at the
1OJ foot level, has developed into a
three foot one at the 2J0 foot level, and
in addition TO all this increase in
amount of ore, the mill runs show that
it is steadily increasing in richness.
The reports are to the effect that
Henry Bell and Jack McCaren have a
good find out near the Good Hope. We
trust that it may prove true.
The Justice mine has been leased and
active operations will begin thereon at

that Medina and Vega, two experienced
miners who are working the Lady Belle
mine near Kernville on tribute, have
opened fine body OF pay quartz. In
the past this mine has yielded probably
over 81 600, 900, and it is known to be
very rich below the water level. But
nothing can be done at that depth until
the Big Blue system OF mines start 70
work. When that ia done, a splendid
output of quartz rich in gold may surely
be expected.
