A MINING EXCHANGE
California nine Owners Want to See the Mines
Developed

California Hine Owners Want to See the Mines
Developed
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. ola meeting OF
prominent mining men decided this after
noon to organize the California Gold Min
ing exchange of San Francisco. Its oh.
ject was clearly expressed by Col
onel Walter Turnbull at the OPEN
ing of the meeting. He said
that as a general thing the
men discovering and working gold mines
in the State had been poor and had bsen
working with the pick and shovel them
selves; but they had been obliged to stop
when they got to certain point because
of lack of funds. These men should be as
sisted in obtaining capital with which
to work their mines, and the promoters of
the organization believed that it was time
that the residents of California should fur
nish the capital and reap the dividends
now being paid the stockholders in the At
lantic states and in Europe.
Chairman Turnbull read the preliminary
report of the the commi tee on organiza-
ton. The report pointed to the success
of the South African gold fields by reason
of the establishment of mining
exchanges which brought the
mime owner ana the capitalist together and
which had caused the Americans to turn
their attention to the gold mines of
California and of the Pacific coast.

MISS COOLBRITh'S POEMS

We have in our midst at present q
gifted author whose new book, Songs
From the Golden Gate, gives that rare
pleasure always to be derived from
reading the poems of soul truly
clothed with the winged touch of po-
etic genius, which Ins Ooolbrith has
above and beyond any other American
poet. Miss Coolbrith is the guest of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. Perry, and will re-
main in Los Angeles until after holt
days. Since her arrival here she has
been the recipient of much attention
rendered by the literary public of Los
Angeles, who are acquainted with the
true merit Of her poems. This new
volume is published by the well-known
house of Houghton, MitIiin & Go. of
Boston, and can be secured at any of
our bookseller in this city. The vol
ume is illustrated by William Keith.
and is in every respect most excel
lent piece Of bookmaking. One OF the
best-known literary critics of the west,
in speaking of the Volume, says:
"Miss Coolbrith Is one Of those upon
whose work depends the repute of Cal
ifornia literature in circles best fitted
to judge it. Ths publication of this
present volume is, therefore, to us a
matter of more than ordinary literary
Importance. 1t gives to California a
new hearing before the tribunal OF
highest criticism, and justities her in
dem .nding something more than a
passing notice of her accomplishments
in the domain of letters. In this small
volume there is much which will take
its place in the permanent literature of
America, and will be accounted excel
lent, not only for the sentiment which
animstes it, but for the art which has
embodied it in forms of beauty and
endowed it with the harmonious ca
dence of true music"

which has now become great power,
but desire to remain faithful to their

The SOleil touches on the Eastern
question by the following suggestion:
THE services rendered by Russia and
Germany In securing a revision Of the
treaty should result in the ccssion Of
the Pescadore islands to France, since
the presence there Of the japanese Is
as menacing to France as they would
