The rates fixed by the commission are to be adopted by the Cuban chamber of deputies and then approved by the Spanish cortez be- fore they become effective.

WILL PINGREE EXPLAIN?
His Thanksgiving Proclamation Read
 Like Stephens of Missouri.

New York, Nov. 25.-A local col lector of official literature says either Governor Lon V. Stephens of Mis- souri and Governor Pingree of Mich igan think alike or else are guilty of plagiarism in their Thanksgiving proclamatibns. The burden of ex- planation lies with Pingree, as his is dated November 5, while Stephens go. out his glad tidings four days earlier The deadly parallel shows: By Stephens: "Our great commonwealth, filled with a greater population than belonged to the whole country when our fathers fought for national inda- pendence, can look back over the seventy-six years of statehood and see the simple industries of the pioneers grown to the many diversified indus tries which have made us the eighth state in wealth and we are the fifth in numbers and political power in this great Union.
 "The spirit of philanthropy among our citizens has been active ,n pro- viding for the needs of the suffering and unfortunate.
 Christian workers have brought many to acknowledge their obligations to lead better lives, and countless homes have been made happier for their efforts during the year."

 Unique in lack of the usual dis play of partisan college sentiment, the dominant characteristic of this years struggle for the goal line of the op- posing team, was the ease with which Stamford piled up point after point, after goal, until the Leland Stamford, Jt, university had twenty eight points to her credit, while the University of California strove vainly to achieve a single unit.
 Never in the history of inter-col- legiate foot ball on the Pacific coast has a victory been so overwhelming, superiority so undeniable, inferiority so unmistakable as in the match this afternoon when the stalwart young athletes from Palo Alto achieved so signal triumph over the team rep resenting the older, but less athletic University of California.

GRADY VERSUS SCHILLING.

Attorneys Ouarreling Over the Manage
ment of the Matthews Estate.
A merry war is still raging between At
torney Frank Schilling and Coun selor w.
Grady for the control of the estate of Peter
Owen Matthews, an incompetent person.
Mr.. Schilling was appointed guardian
of the estate, but his management aroused
the anger of Mr.. Grady, who thought he
could better care for the interests of the
unfortunate Mr.. Matthews, so he filed
charges against Mr.. Schilling and had
himself appointed guardian ad litem. Mr..
Schilling against Mr.. Grady came back
with a aeries of accusations, and in addi-
ton he yesterday presented to the court
hisldemurrer to Mr.. .Grady's petition.
In his demurrer Mr.. Schilling says that
Mr.. Grady's petition does not state facts
sufficient to constitute cause for the re-
moval of Mr.. Schilling, that it appears
that Mr.. Grady has not legal capacity to
sue in this case. and, horror of horrors,
that "said petition is ambiguous. unintel-
IigibIe and uncertain. as it cannot be seen
therefore whether w. D. Grady ESQ. is
the guardian ad litem and attorney for w.
D. Grady, the petitioner, or for Peter Owen
Matthews"

published with Mr. Means report on that
region if State Mineralogist Cooper can find
any way OF getting it done by the State Print
ing Office. Bo, h the report and the map would
be of growing interest. this region rapidly
develops. Within the past two weeks some
i'm portant finds OF good ore have been made
about Randsburg, and some strikes of rich
gravel beds have been made by dry washers.
This desert region grows in prominence every
week. The monthly production is expected to
exceed 100000 before fall. Within few
days the Minnehaha, near Randsburg, has
been bonded for SIS, 900. AT the Val Verde
No 2, ore is running $50, and widening vein
struck at depth of only six feet A
recent run on ore from the La Monte averaged
$93 per ton.
Four claims. three miles from Randsbu rg,
have been bonded for $22, 500. An important
development is the formation OF Randsburg
company to mine coal four miles from Cow
Wells, where a vein of excellent coal. two feet
thick at a depth of fifty feet, has been devel-
oped.
Little is being said about Kern County out
side of this desert district, but along. the
Sierra slopes amid the plenteous wood and
water OF the Kern-river watershed, there are
swarms OF prospectoIs and developers, and
extensive operations of promise. Kern County
is forging ahead. The production for 1896
this year the production will take much big
ger jump.
The Californians have abandoned the Dem
yer international cold miners Convention to
achieve its own success. 1t convenes on Tues
day, but not California delegate has gone
after all. A number of the delegates ap-
pointed intended to go, but its character, ma
ture and promise of su ccess were so hazy and
doubtful that all dropped it, cheerfully wish
ing 1t good luck.
The new State mining law now in effect is
the subject of wide discussion among miners.
There is a widespread doubt that the require
ment OF $50 worth of assessment work in a
claim within sixty days alter location will
stand test on the ground that 1t is in conflict
with the Federal statute requiring 500 worth
OF work within year after the first day of the
January succeeding the date of location.
To satisfy both laws $3.50 worth of work
must be done between now and January l.
1899, on all claims located this year. Other
States and Territories have had similar laws,
provoking similar discussion, for years, but
the point has never been judicially determ-
lned except ty inference. 1t is likely that the
question will be tested soon. However, the
Federal law requires cat least" $1OO worth of
work and contemplates the enactment of sup
plemental legislation by States and mining
districts The best mining lawyers believe
that the State law will be upheld. This re
qu1remept is very distasteiul to prospectors.
naturally, as it takes some capital to do $50
worth OF work on several claims in sixty
days, and many men on finding prospects are
keeping the locations to themselves and not
taking up the claims through inability to do
the required assessment work.
