It's Object to Increase the Population of
City and County.
The Hundred Thousand club of the
city and county of Fresno. Cal, is hay
ing remarkable success. Organized by q
handful of progressive citizens, it at
once proceeded to solicit the leading and
professional men to join. irrespective of
their financial position, making pro-
gressive ideas and willingness to "sct the
ball rolling" the principal qualifications
for membership. In this way the 300
names-secured i'll less than week
came to represent the brightest AID
ablest men i'll Fresno and with hut one
end i'll vicw-the welfare of Fresno.
Tho Hundred Thousand club starts
out with an almost unlimited field of
usefulness, but among its avowed OBJ
iccts are the raising of the population of
Fresno county to 100000 by June l,
1900; the promotion of immigration;
tho establishment of u bureau of infor-
nation; the utilization of the enormous
water power of the San joaquin river;
tho increased of markets for Fresno
county products; the Improvement of
county roads; the construction of rail
roads and canals; tho Identifying of
parks and city property; the occupation
of irrigablo land, and tho urging of con-
gress to construct wagon road to Sc
quota National park.
The excellent idea furnished b. the
wide awake citizens of Fresno is good
one for any county or town to put in
practice. Such club i'll this vicinity
could if taken hold of i'll the proper
spirit add greatly to the wealth and
population. Who can tell what wonders
might be worked when all good citizens
put their shoulders to tho wheel The
very idea is inspiring.

zero, he asked his wife to lend him her
diamonds. She dds so. He sold them and
invested the proceeds in mining stocks.
The venture was lucky, and i'll less than

Iron Town to BE Abandoned.

One more deserted "iron" town will
coon be added to tho list in northern
New York. At Lyon mountain, which
was the center of operations of the
Chatcaugay Ore and Iron company, the
work of taking out the pumping appa-
ratus, tracks, ETC., is in progress at the
"big mine, and it is believed by many
that the whole works are to be aban-
doned. BY others it is claimed that
there is plenty Of orc nearer the surface
that can be procured at much less ex.
pensc, and that new openings will be
made and worked. Some idea of tho en-
pense of getting the ore to the surface
from the "big mino'' may DO obtained
from the fact that for rope alone, with
which to raise the cars, the company
was placed at All annual expense, Of
$1,000. The Conklins magnetic separa-
tor was closed down indefinitely last
week, which leaves practically no
works running at that point.-Chateau-
