CALIFORNIA; VICTORIES,
J. A. Filcher Tells Of the Medals
Won at the Atlanta Ex.
position.
The Exhibit Has Already Created a
Demand for Products of the
Golden West.

From time to time glowing accounts
have been published in THE CALL of the
success achieved by the California exhibit
at the Atlanta Exposition. Many medals
have been won and the excellence of the
exhibit has turned the attention of the
people of the East to the many natural
advantages of the West. 1t is to ]. A.
Filcher, manager of the California State
Board of Trade, that is due the credit for
the success. No one took hold of the
matter or seemed to realize the Importance
of such display until he put his shoulder
to the wheel.
Mr.. Filcher in a recent letter to THE
CALL gives considerable gratifying in
formation upon the subject He writes as
follows:
Editor San Francisco Call would like to
give to the people of California through THE
CALL a clear and concise enumera ton of all
the prizes and awards made TO California at
the Atlanta Exposition, but it is impossible,
1or the reason that the diplomas have not ali
been made out and they alone will show the
correct list. You published some time ago the
llst as taken from the published report here.
Dut that, know, contained some errors In
the first dash California got away with about
SeVenty-hYe premiums at least three times as
many as any other State. Of these thirty-four
were highest in their class and carried with
them gold medals.
When our citrus fruit was exposed sent in.
at my request, from Porteryille, Oroville, Sac
rameato rainel and Auburn, the Florida people de-
cllned 10 enter into competition, and the re-
suit suit was that the judges, with Ex-Governor
bnllock 5il at their head, inspected our elegant
GGls,play az on the 10th OF December, and gave 10
california some twenty-odd more premiums
ana at that, sixteen of them, rumor says are
nlghest n IN their class and carry gold medals.
| we are anticipating, therefore, at least 100
! premiums out of this exposition and about
hall OF them as high as could be given. Even
the exhibitors have named our space the gold
medal corner, but none of them, excepting
possibly the representatives of some other
states, are jealous for the unanimous verdict
OF all VINO see California's magnificent display
here is that we deserve all we got.

Board OF Trade is admitted by exhibitors and

California Gold Mining
Exchange.
An Amendment to the Laws Relating
to Locating Claims Is
Desired.

MARIPOSA, CAL, Jan. 10.-The Board
of Supervisors of Mariposa County, at the
conclusion of its monthly session, before
adjourning, passed the following resolu-
ton:
WHEREAS, 1t is reported that a corporation
called the California Gold Mining Exchange has
been formed in San Francisco with the object
Of promoting the development and working
to the best advantage the gold mines of the
State OF California and whereas, there is a
vast area OF auriferous country of immense
value in Mariposa County as yet undeveloped d,
therefore be 1t
Resolved, That the Board of Supervisors of
Mariposa County halls with satisfaction the in
auguration OF the California Gold Mining Ex-
change IN SO lar ss 1t may bring special atten-
ton to bear on the mining and corporation
laws and any amendments thereof; take cog
niZance OF the wants and requirements OF the
various gold-mining districts and suggest
methods by which these wants may be sup
piled and the mineral resources of the State
more effectuellY developed, and generally sug-
gest and consider questions which viii tend 10
advance the mining interest, and it is further
ResoLred, That,a copy. OF this resolution be
transmitted to the president of the Gold Min
ing Exchange OF California.
j. A. Adair, attorney-at-law and editor
of the Mariposa Gazette, addressed the
Board of Supervisors and in strong terms
pointed out the desirability of amend
ment in the existing laws relating to the
location of mining claims. Since the 1st
of January claims have been located broad
cast by individuals who are strangers to
the district and who have neither the in
tention nor the means to do any work
One man is said to have located between
thirty and forty claims on the north side
of the Merced River. The legitimate pros
pector or investor, mining on Government
lands, has the greatest difficulty in secur-
ing a location without first compensating
the alleged clalm-owner. Hopes were ex-
pressed that The CALL would use its po-
tent influence in exposing the abuse and
advocating an amendment in the existing
law

the steelheads, which are running up the
streams to spawn. Three hundred steel
heads have been speared at the mouth of
