ANOTHER GOLD FEVER.
California Miners Have New Way of s. Obtaining the Metal.

California is being literally squeezed for gold just now. Not only are the old dig gings in Calaveras and score of other counties worked over for the precious dust, but the very shore along the ocean in sight of San Francisco is being searched for it. The black sand undoubtedly con- tains particles of gold, but the problem hitherto has been to hit on device that would separate or extract the minute grains from the mass of sand. A new ma chine, which is called the amalgamator" lit Is the invention of a Boise miner does this Two camps are now using the amaIgamator within few miles of Sutro Heights, and it is working so satisfacto- rily that all San Francisco has caught the new gold fever, and 1t is said that tho whole ocean front for miles up and down will soon be dotted with mining outfits " An expert reports that the sand pays $2. 50 a ton. One party of eight men with an amalgamator extracted about S400 worth of gold in as many days labor, and an other camp has done still better. having realized nearly $1, GOO in two weeks
 Tho amalgamator with which such re- suits are obtained is an odd looking con- trivance built of wood, or feet long and scarcely more than 3 feet high. The sand is fed Into a hopper, in revolving cylin- der, with a number of catch pockets at- taohed to it. Under the cylinder quioksil- yer attracts the gold, and leading away from 1t are plates of silver, over which the water and pulp sand are carried. The pulp sand is the detritus, or that from which the gold has been extracted. Only a small force of men is required to set up an amalgamator camp--two to shovel and wheel the sand, two to look after the ma chine, and one man to cook. Water for washing the sand is pumped up from the sea by an electrical engine The whole outfit costs about $500.-New York Post

 "Our leading druggist, Dr. w. G. Greg ory, informs us that his sales of Paine's celery compound havebeen wonderful; in fact, he states that he has in six months medicines combined. There has been constant demand for 1t.
 "One of the noticeable cures that this medicine has made is the case of Mir. Phil Clinard, who last spring was republican candidate for county treasurer. MT. Clin- ard 8 nerves were all unstrung; he had no appetite and was all run down. He com menced using Paine's celery compound, aud today there is not a more well and wig orous citizen In this whole community than Mir. Clinard. Another case that comes closer is that of the wife of the editor of the Ledger. Every one in Oakland knows that Mrs. Yeargin was confined to her bed for three whole months with neuralgia. At times her pains were awful, so much so that her hands would clinch and it took the united strength of two persons to straighten out her fingers. Dr. Garvey. the family physician, treated her for months, but all he could do was to alleviate the pains, not effecting cure. Along last winter she commenced using Paine's cel- cry Compound. .ss
 'sShe commented to gain in flesh at onee. Her pain all went away; her vital- ity increased weekly, and today there is not more healthy woman in town than she. Her neighbors all marvel at her com piete recovery, and ask her the cause, and she has no hesitancy in saying that it is all given volun tarily in the hopes that others who are afflicted may be protited by using this great medicine, which today is with. ont peer in the fand,' ''

Hopeful CaliEornia.

It is to be hoped that the early reports of damage to deciduous fruit by the frost may be exaggerated. The season promises to be phenomenal one for all kinds of early fruit, but the cold nights in many distriots and tfIs- presence of snow on neighboring mountains have chilled the hopes of fruit growers. It may be that the crop has not been so severely hurt as experts now report, and the chances are that half crop will bring in as good re- turns this year as an ordinary heavy yield, because in many parts of the east fruit wifi De almost total failure.-San Fran cisco Chronicle.

SIMS COTTON REVIEW.

NEW YoRK, April 12.-The Suns cotton re- view says:
 Cotton shorts are very cautious. In fact, most operators decline take the short side {, Print cloths are active and advancing at Fall River and Providence, where there is no little excitement. Wages have been advanced at a leading mill in Fall River. Manchester ad- vices are strong. It is reported that treaty of peace has been agreed upon between Japan and China. The exports of raw cotton from this country enormous. The crop season is backward, the acreage is likely to be re- duced, and much smaller quantity of fertil- izers than ordinarily will be used. The New York and New Orleans cotton exchanges will reopen on Monday anu the Liverpool exchange next Wednesday.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Oct. 1a.-Governor
Clarke, who has bocn examining the laws
closely touching the gubernational power
to prevent prize fighting, last night OUT
lined his intentions In communications
addressed to the officers at Hot Springs
and the principals in the proposed fight.
To Corbett and Fitzsimmons the governor
telegraphed:
81 am advised by press dispatches that
1t is your purpose to engage in a prize
fight In this state. The purpose of this Is
to inform you that such an act is in viola
tisn Of our law and an affront to the senti-
ment Of state pride entertained by our
people,
ut will therefore not be possible for you
to accomplish any such purpose, and any
attempt upon your part to do so will sub
5ect you to penalties and to treatment that
I am sure will be highly distasteful, to
you. do not at this time know in detail
all the complications in which you may be
involved by any such attempt, but l am
well enough advised Of the nature and ex-
tent of the mover and authority with
which you will find yourself confronted to
say that II will prove sufficient to deter
you from engaging in a prize fight In Ar
kansas. This is enough for you to know.
"Tho question, SO far as 1t relates to you,
does not now call for the constructions OF
statutes or othsr ruiioss- Ct law: In the
prescott state OF public opinion, which at
last is the force that ipflicts penalties,
prize fighters have no rights which those
In authority are bound to respect. But
there is no lack of law to make It now my
duty to do all that here Indicate"
