Glddness Comes

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts--pleasant Efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup Of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of Families, and Is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa'
tives or other remedies are not needed.
II afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slkillful
physicians, but II in need of laxative,
then ono should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and Is most largely
used and gives most general Satisfaction.

BRITISH COLUMBUS BOOM
Valuable Mining Properties Being Opened
Up in the Vicinity of Vancouver
and Victoria

VANCOUVER, B. c., Oct. 30.-The
British Colum bia mining fever, which
started in Eastern Canada. has swept over
the mountains and broken out in this
province.
When the large cities in the East were
nervously exited over the reports circu-
loted broadcast of rich strikes in the
British Columbl mines, the people OF the
province were not at all agitated, and for
over a year there was not the slightest
evidence of a boom. But the excitement
in the East, coupled with the continued
arrival of mining experts sent mere py
English and American syndlcates, has at
length aroused the phlegmatic British
Colum bians to proper realization OF the
situation.
At present the greatest excitement pre-
walls in Vancouver and Victoria, owing to
the splendid strikes that have been made
within a few miles OF this city. lhe
Golden Cache mines-which average $5OO
or over to the ton, with a million tons
practically in sight and probability OF an
unlimited quantity uncovered-are about
200 miles frem Vancouver or Cayuse
Creek. They are being developed, also
the Tascado Island mines, some torty
miles from Vancouver, specimens from
which run thousands of dollars to the ton
IN free milling gold, which can be dug out
with a penknife. The Charm Mining
Company's claims are on Philips Arm, a
short distance from this city, on which a
large gang of men at work and which
shows good indications and actual results
that the stock has doubled during the past
week.
The Philips Arm quartz claim, near by,
is shipper at big profit, and numerous
excellent properties at Hour Sound, few
miles distant, and at Pitt Lake, some
twelve miles distant, are sufficient reasons
for the present to warrant citizens of the
coast towns in declaring that the sea-
board mines, and those other than are
known as inland properties, will receive
the greatest prominence of any in the
province within very short time.

THE ARAGO INQUIRY
1t Is Now Claimed That the Wreck
Was Caused by Adverse
Currents,

Supervising Inspector Birmingham yes
terday instituted an inquiry into the
causes which brought about the wreck of
the steamer Arago October 20, whereby
fourteen lives were lost. Inspector Bolles
conducted the investigation, and as he
was new to such proceedings only four
witnesses were examined, further inquiry
going over until Monday.
From the evidence introduced it appears
that the wreck was caused by an adverse
and hitherto unknown current. mbined
with heavy sea and dense log The
first officer, A. G. Banks, swore the
weather was hazy and that the engines
were stopped to watch smooth chance
to cross the bar. Just before the vessel
struck he noticed a current settling to the
northward. The witness also swore that
no soundngs were made and that the
vessel sank within ten minutes after she
struck.
said that when opposite the jetty two or
three big seas came which threw the
Arago com pletely off her course. He
turned the wheel to the starboard, but the
vessel did not promptly respond. She
then began to come back, finally striking
her stern. F. Grogan, first assistant en-
gineer, swore substantially to the facts
above recorded, dwelling particularly on
the adverse currents. Probably the most
important evidence of the day was found
in an affidavit made by the life-saving
crew. 1t reads as fellows:
EMPIRE CITY, Or, Oct 25, 1896
In connection with the recent wreck of the
steamer Arago on October 20, 1896, on the
Government jetty on the north side of Coos
Bay, we, the undersigned members of the
United States life-saving crew of Coos Bay,
who manned tho lifeboat on that morning,
wish to state that we found the current in that
locality of the jetty and wreck running strong
in northerly direction on that morning and
in an opposite direction to what the current
usually runs or has run In that locality al that
stage of the food tide.

IOuuG Dempsey and Jack BttrkhGfdt
Quit Uith Honors Easy.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. 30.-A large
crowd saw the boxing exhibition before
the Los Angeles Athletic Club tonight.
The principal event was fifteen-round go
between Young Dempsey (Jack Watson)
and Jack Burkhardt, both of this city.
The men weighed 135 pounds each and
were well matched, putting up the best
fight ever seen at the club.
Dempsey, who was the cleverer of the
two, got his man when he led and had the
better of the mix-up generally. He was
remarkably quick on his feet and had no
difficulty in escaping from a corner,
Burkhardt vainly poking the atmosphere.
While Burkhardt was deficient in
science he made up for this in strength
and grit, and kept at MS opponent all the
time following him about the ring and
doing a big part of the leading. He took
plenty of punishment.
Burkhardt gave Dempsey lively brush
in the fifteenth round, but the latter was
too clever and Kept out OF the otle s
reach. The fight was extended tO eighteen
rounds, the last especially being fast and
furious. but the mill resulted in draw.

Student Body Dcfers Action on Mas icfit
Club Constitutions.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Oct.
30.-Stanford musical organizations COM
manded the attention OF the student body
this afternoon. At the last meeting of
the executive committee constitutions OF
the various musical clubs were submitted.
These constitutions practically removed
the gIee, mandolin and banjo clubs from
general student control. Action on the
matter was deferred until the next meet
ing of the com mittee. This proved un-
satisfactory to the clubs concerned. and a
student body meeting was called.
After the usual preliminaries the ques-
tion was resolved to this: Whether or not
action should be taken on the proposed
changes until after the student body en-
tertainment Thanksgiving night.
The motion that action be deferred pre-
vailed after an hour OF discussion. Zion
'94 and Wilson '96 spoke for the clubs.
Bell '97, O'Neal '97 and Brown '97
spoke for a delay in action. urging that as
arrangements had been made for the ap-
pearance of these clubs on Thanksgiving
night the student body should protect
itself by postponing legislation until after
the entertainment.

CHICAGO H., Oct. 25, 1896.
Hon. p. L. Rosciaiol0sEi, San Francisco Cal
MY DEAR SIR AND FRIEND: Your favor OF the
18th inst. has been received and noted. i am
pleased TO hear that California viii most
surely give It's electoral vote to Major Nc
Kinley, our candidate for President of the
United States. There is not the slightest
question In my mind but that Illinois
will give very large majority for
Mckinley and for the whole Republican ticket,
including our candidate for Governor, which
will result in the defeat of John p. Altgeld,
the present occupant of that office. nave no
doubt whatever but that Mckinley will be
elected President of the United States by an
overwhelming majority; neither do have any
doubt about the result as to the House of Rep
resentatives. If we shall be able to control
the Senate, we will have the administration
and Congress in harmony with it, which Will
insure the return of confidence and which
will result in revival of business; the hard
times of the last three and half years will
pass away and good times will come again.
Wishing you good health, am, as ever. very
truly yours, S. NJ. CULLoM

Has Undoubtedly Gone TO the Bottom
With Her Passengers.
TACOMA, WASH, Oct. 9O.-The last
issue of the Alaska Mining Record, which
was received to-day, says:
The sloop Birdie. of which DR.. Gardner,
formerly of Juneau and well known in
southeastern Alaska, is owner and
master, sailed from Cooks Inlet for
Juneau early in July, with two or three
passengers. Nothing has since been seen
or heard of the sloop. 1t was Gardner's
intention to at once return to the inlet.
The boat was adouble-ended craft of three
or four tons burden, and there is little
doubt that she has gone to the bottom.
The names Of ner passengers are unknown
at Juneau.
