that large sub-councils will undoubtedly
be organized throughout California. as the
travelling men here are taking great in

members and those dependent upon them
and assist widows and orphans of deceased
members. 1t also has an indemnity fund
to indemnify members when totally dis

disabled members, and $500 to the widow

the sub-council here will be completed.
After. have visited Sacramento and Los

MARITIME HISTORY.
Review of the Industry in the Pacific
Northwest.

Review of the Industry in the Pacific
Northwest.
A book has recently been issued that
cannot but be of great interest and value
to all those connected with the Pacific
Coast north of San Francisco. 1t is called
the MARINE History'of the Pacific North
west, and was compiled by E. W. Wright,
after several years of exhaustive labor.
The volume is review of the growth of
the maritime industry from the advent of
the earliest navigators to the present time.
1t is beautifully illustrated and contains
pictures of almost every craft that has
sailed the Northwest waters. There are
also portraits and sketches of the men
who have done most toward the develop
ment of the marine service.
Much space is given the work Of the pio-
neers in the Oregon and Alaskan waters.
Troubles with the Indians and the growth
of the coasting trade are also treated at

The Children's Hospital concert in the

popular character than the opening con-
cert on Tuesday. Most of the boxes were
empty, but the body of the auditorium
was well filled and the chorus no longer
seemed to constitute the bulk of the people
present.
The general character of the programme
was about the same az on Tuesday. The
overture to "Tannhauser" opened it, and
the work was well played, the strings hold

Demand for Experienced Gold Miners.
There is.rather curious state of affairs
IN Colorado in the matter of experienced
miners. The big gold camp of Cripple
Creek is attracting the most skillful men
from less favored camps, and even Lead
vile has been forced to raise the rate OF
wages to keep experienced men at home.
While this has not happened with us in
TINS State as yet, there has been q remark
able draft upon California in the past two
years Tor experienced superintendent,
mlllmen and managers to 60 to South
Africa, British Coum bia and other foreign
parts, and still more men are going to ill
responsible positions abroad. The princi-
pal managers of the largest diamond
mines and the largest gold mines in South
Africa are Californians who learned the
mining business here.
FROM parts of Central America, Aus
traila, British Columbia, as we'll as Idaho
anc Colorado, there is constant demand
1or good hydraulic and gravel miners from
tnls State. Just now there seems to be a
demand also for men familiar with the
cyanide process and for amalgamators.
There is plenty of work all over this State
Tor experienced gold miners, and they are
wanted elsewhere as well. We have all
the known kinds of gold mining carried
on in this State, and in each branch there
are many engaged. OF course, if sufficient
lnducement is offered, these men will try
to better themselves, but none OF them
need be idle with ali the work going on
here at present. But it is certain that the
demand for good, experienced gold miners
will continue to increase for some little
time. In these days it is a business that
is prosperous, and those engaged in it are
in demand. CHARLES G. YALE.

Dry Periods In England.

Dry periods seem to come in groups,
separated by long though somewhat
irregular intervals. Out OF the whole
twenty-five months of short rainfall
for the past eighty-two years, no
fewer than eight occurred between the
years 1918 and 1882, while four cases
were scattered over the years 1885 to
1872. The next group occurred be-
tween IS4s and 1887, when there were
as many as seven months drier than
last. After this came a very long
period without any very small rainfall,
the twenty-six years from 1858 to 1888
yielding onlyon n instance Of 80 trifing
an amount as that of last May, and
none with a smaller quantity. Be-
tween August, 1883, and January, 1891.
there was no record in London of 8
months rainfall of even less than half
an inch, but since then we have had in
London three. months drier than last,
the February of 1891, with a total fall
OF only four-hundredths Of an inch,
being the driest on record during the
long period Of eighty-two years. The
latest instance Of q very dry month oc-
