The statistician of the Mining Bureau
CHARLES G. Yale, has finished the com mpllelloh
OF the bureau bulletin, showing the colnpIete
mineral production of the State Tor 1850 Inc
varied mineral products Of the State are IN
cluded under thirty-fve heads. and the figures
show that the metals and minerals, other
than gold and silver, producer IN the state
during the wear were valued a. over Sb,OoO,-
OOO making the total mineral wealth pro-
duced $24 291 ,398.
These statistics reach the public in fairly
good season, compared with The general haolt
of such official Information. These figures are
as reliable as such information can be made
and thew will stand as the official record for
. the wear. Their compilation has involved
persistent and repeated inquiries in addition
10 the returns from the regular blanks sent to
every known mineral producer and to other
sources OF information. The experience of
three or four years has given miners and man
ufsctuTeTs confidence that their figures will
remain confidential and be used only in max
ing up totals, and this year increased readt-
ness and good faith have been shown.
The complete statistics of the gold and sill
yer production have already been given, and
the interest in this bulletin mainly concerns
other products. Petroleum last year advanced
10 second place in the States mineral produc-
tion, and quicksilver fell to third place. The
clined. This metal retains fourth place among
the metals with q record OF $422 .463, but its
value is exceeded b. brick and by macsdam.
Coal cuts small figure as usual, and the
value of the product declined $32, 40; but
the operation of the Corral Hollow mines this
year viii, for the first time, set coal high on
the list of the States mineral products. The
recent revival of the demand for copper and
oi copper mining shows It's effect in the ia bic
by an increase of S177. .618 in the value OF
the product. This is due almost wholly to the
active operations OF the Scotch syndicate
operating in Siskiyou County, and the present
year promises q more notable increase The
increase credi ted to petroleum is due to the
late increase of prices in the Los Angeles
field, the increase by barrels being but
triding.
One of the most noticeable things about the
table is the effect of the business depression
on structural materials. With hardly an ex-
ception these show marked decrease. Brick,
building stones of ali kinds, lime, cement,
slate and macsdsm found hard times and
l9ssened demand. The increased gold produc-
ton saved the total record from decline.
The increase credited TO gold is 81, ,847, ,245
and the total net increase in the value of all
mineral products is a little less-S1, ,446, ,734.
The total increase in 1895 over 1894 was about
s.. 400, 900.
The precious metals yielded ST GOA O26; all
metallic substances. $Is, 937, ,793; not metallic
substances, $2,415, ,993; hydrocarbons and
gases. 81, ,777, $40; structural materials, S2.-
100. .272. The total values by substances and
1895, are shown in the following table:

they have in view there is not any doubt
that year hence the coursing fraternity
OF this City and the adjoining country
will have an opportunity of racing their
dogs for valuable prizes at whichever
park they may select for a days outing.
AS the sport is annually growing very
popular, and as new dogs are being i'm
ported from the East and elsewhere, it is
only question of very short time when
the patrons of the leash must have a Sec
ond running ground; otherwise there
must be two days racing held to accom-
modate the owners of the longtails, many
of which must now remain in their ken
nels for weeks before they can have an
opportunity to com pete on Sundays at
Ingleside.
Doubtless there will be coursing COM
pany organized in this City within a
new coursing park which will be within
easy reach of all coursers.

Julius Ungemach of 610 Ellis street had
quarrel with his wife and determined ON
a short cut to divorce by the gas route.
He went upstairs to an unoccupied room,

yesterday morning, and the following note
written in pencil in the German language
was found on IS table by his bedside:

this deed, but cannot do otherwise. love
you fondly, butyo do not love me. beg of

During the coming week the international
Goid-miners' convention, which is to meet IN
Denver two months hence, viii doubtless be
enlisting the active interest OF California
mining men. and preparations for California
representation will be begun. This conVen-
ton has been so far but vaguely heard OF out
here, and in the absence of definite fnforma-
ton about the scope, purposes and probable
importance of the convention aud OF an IN
vitation to participate 10 particular considera-
ton has been given TO it. However, this has
been because the preparations for it at Denver
have been inchoate Within two or three
days the committee appointed by the Chamber
of Commerce, Board OF Trade, Miners Bureau
and other Denver bodies which have taken
the matter up has decided upon the repre-
sentation, and formal communications will
soon reach the Miners Association, Mining
Bureau, the Governor and others in this State.
without waiting for this, Julian Sonntag, secre-
tary OF the Miners Association, telegrapned
day before yesterday to the Governor OF Colo
rado, asking for information about the con-
venton. The newspaper dispatches tell that
the convention is to meet July 8, 8 and 10 at

TWO COURS|NG PARKS,
The Leashmen of This City May
Soon Have New Grounds
for Sport.
Sportsmen of Capital Are Con tenn
plating the Lease of Several
Acres of Land.

"WelI, don't know" said Joe McIn-
erney last evening 10 number of friends
who had gathered at the popular coursing
resort on Market street to discuss the
question of greyhounds and hares, "there
is ample room for second coursing park
near this City, and I have no doubt that
the projectors of such scheme would
reap a rich harvest from the financial re-
suits as there is good money in coursing
parks nowadays"
NJ. Traynor, the popular tea merchant
and sportsman, acquiesced in the opinion
vouchsafed by Mr.. McInerney and re-
marked that as coursing has taken won-
derful strides in the past two years and
has gained numerous supporters there
should be at least two we'll conducted
coursing parks within easy reach of this
City, as one park can only accommodate
on Sundays a certain number OF dogs
which are but few in com parison to the
great mum Der that must wait an oppor-
iunity to run within the inclosure.
Mr.. Traynor was also of the opinion
that coursing is something similar to
many other branches of sport that are
made popular and interesting to the spec
tators because of the opposition elsewhere.
Lopez, Kerrigan, Ryan. Edmunds, But
Ter, Kramer and several other gentlemen
who take an active interest in the spor t
of the leash have expressed their opinions
on coursing, and they all admit that there
is ample room for two coursing parks in
or near this county.
1t was stated last evening by sports
man who recently overheard a converse.
tion between some gentlemen who are
financially able to assist in the purchase
of grounds for new coursing park. that
a scheme is now being hatched with the
object in view of leasing large numb Der
of acres OF land within easy reach of some
of the streetcar lires of this City, and that
beautiful park will he constructed, part
of which will be used for coursing and
part for such sports as football, base ball
and all kinds of athletic pastimes.

new State mining law, which Will soon go
into effect, were stated the other day by the
puzzled Recorder of the Randsburg mining
district, E. B. Maginnis who inquired as fol-
lows Of Secretary Julian Sonntag OF the Miners
Association:
There are so many interpretations of the
new mining law, to make it clear to myself
and the miners here, will you kindly answer
the following questions:
ftWhen does 1t take effect? When am to turn
over my books to the County Recorder? How
about turning over books in thirty days, when
law does not take effect until sixty days? The
Rand District is in Kern and San Bernardino
counties, to which County Recorder am l
supposed to deliver my books? When shall 1
stop receiving location notices? If the books
have to be segregated where shall it be done
and who shall pay for it?"
The problems were referred to Curtis II.
Lindley, chairman of the legislation commit
tee, whose construction of the law will interest
many. In his opinion Mr.. Lindley saws:
81 think that the queries propounded by Mr..
Maginnis may be answered as follows:
81. The act was approved March 27, 1897,
and 1t takes effect at midnight OF May 25. No
records made on or after May 26 in the Dis
trlct Recorders Office will be valid.
go The time within which the District Re-
corder is required to turn over the books to
the County Recorder commences to run from
the date the act takes effect which is equiv
alent to its passage in legal sense. In other
words, the District Recorder should turn over
his books to the County Recorder on or before
June 25.
"3 As Rand district lies partly in Kern
County and partly in San Bernardino, l think
the law will be satisfied by deposi ting the
records with either County Recorder, suggest
ing the one where the District Record rder's office
is situated, although this is merely a sugges-
ton.
"a There Is no law authorizing the records
to be duplicated segregated. The County
Recorder in whose custody the books are
placed would be the lawful custodian and
could issue certified copies, although the
location in question might be in another
county. l do not see any serious difficulty in
the situation at all, the deposit of the
records with either County Recorder will
make them accessible and fix legal depos-
itary"
s. K. Thornton is still touring in the mining
counties stirring up the mining men to organ
ize or strengthen local associations and to give
needed support of money and membership to
the State association. He has made no official
reports, but word comes from wherever he
goes that the miners give him and his mission
cordial welcome. He is much gratified at his
success, but Secretary Julian Sonntag says that
he has not yet received dollar in cash, and
he painfully waits for the county associations
to send in their dues.
"The treasury is empty, and we need
money" says Mr.. Sonntag. Last year the as
sociation's expenses were $5311. This year, so
far, we have got plenty OF sympat thy but no
money, and not much can be done without
m oney. The annual convention, which will
meet next fall and cost $500, is some distance

Denver, and the representation aIlo wed is
thirty delega tes- at-large from each State and
Territory. 10 be appointed by the Governor,
five from each county, five from each city and
one additional for each 1000 of population.
Upon the slight information received Seore-
tary Sonntag himself is nj uch interested, and
this week the executive committee OF the
Miners Association win probably meet to take
some steps toward participation.
This Will be the first interstate gathering OF
mining men and what the convention Will
consider and do win develop largely during
its sessions. The main idea of the promoters
now appears to be the consideration OF
methods and appliances for gold mining, and
this is to be attended by an exhibit OF mining
machinery, etc, and by an exhibit OF ores ana
SO on. OF course the advertising OF Colorado's
steadily developing gold fields is main mo-
tive OF the Colorado people. A great deal OF
good viii be complished by gathering to-
gether of representative miners from the
whole Pacific Coast, for study of the most
modern and efficient gold-saVing methods, for
with all the rapid advance OF science
and invention in mining, old and inefficient
methods are 100 common and still too much
OF a clog development Whatever be the
programme the getting together for three
days of large body of represen tative miners
to exchange ideas will benefit every man who
attends, and the industry at large.
This first convention will itself develop the
good of such gatherings and their work.
Many things not in the minds Of the original
promoters viii be put forward. The repre-
sentatives of the California Miners Associa-
tion, for one thing. will urge the matter OF
National and State mining legislation A
committee of the association has in hand
revision and codifcation OF the United States
mining laws, meant for Congressional atten-
tion in year or two, and the convention will
be asked TO take hold of this matter and give
it the in fuence of the entire mining West.
An Endorsement of the mineral lands bill for
which the Miners Association is still fighting
win likely be asked. The Californians, too,
will be apt to urge steps to secure uniformity
OF State mining legislation, which does not
now exist
The California Miners Association itself
will be valuable exhibit. No miners organ
ization anywhere has ever proved so infuen-
tial and successful in behalf OF the industry,
and its ways and works will be lesson there.
California as gold field will get Its share of
The advertising that goes with the convention.
The time for preparation is so short and pros
poets of what the convention win amount to
are so vague that the California makers of
mining machinery will do little or nothing
toward sending exhibits, Snd there is no pros
pect that much Will be done in the way of
display of California ores, but this convention
will be starter of an institution that may be
to the mining industry of the West what the
trans -Mississ ippi congresses have been to
Western commerce.

Eeet Sugar Activity.

There is already a movement on
foot to establish beet sugar manu-
factory in Minneapolis. and it i5 an
nounced that beet seed Is beins OBJ
tanned in various portions of the state
anu many farmers are planting 1t ex-
pvrimentally. The legislative appro-
pfiation and the efforts of the agricul-
no doubt enable farmers to Sc .ure an
ample supply of seed, and 1t is TO be
noped that the result of This years
experiments will be such as to justify
them in engaging to furnish, nexI
year, any quantity that beetery here
or elsewhere may be DESTROYS OF con-
tracing for.
Two things are essential 10 the sue
cess of the beet sugar industry in
this state. First, modern manufac-
turing plant, with experienced Ihen to
run it; and second, an ample supply
Of teets containing a profitable per-
centage of saccharine matter. The
first they had at Menominee. Wiscon-
sin, but failed, temporarily. for the
lack CT the second essential. The
same mistake ought not 20 ne made.
and probably will not be maze. in
Minnesota. If capitalists put in a
beet sugar factory at Minneapolis they
will no doubt take pains TO assure
themselves in advance, of ample sup
ply of beets of good quality. A dis
patch from Albert Lea says that about
one hundred farmers in that vicinity
have agreed to plant more or less
beet sugar seed. This is a movement
in the right direction. Let the farm
ers in Hennepin and other counties
follow their example.
1t is estimated that the first factory
established in this state will employ
400 to 200 men. and will be able TO
consume the product of several thou
sand acres of land. This will be a
notable addition to Minnesota's in

dieting that it will be only the begin

That was a sharp brush. The Doctor

his doubts; even wondered that he had
not foreseen the obvious and conclu-

Rhone wine, his favorite weakness. He
would then remark upon the warmth

Internal Heat of the Earth.

1t is found from observations made
in very deep borings that the aver
age increase of temperature for long
way down towards the center of the
earth is about one degree for every
81 feet of descent. This is not con-
slant, however. being less down to a
certain depth and more beyond it.
The increase varies in amount. too,
in different localities. These results
are quite in agreement with the sup
position that the center of the earth
consists of matter in state of fu-
sion; the nearer we get to this molten
matter the faster should the tempera-
ture rise. and the rate may also be ex-
pected to vary on account of the crust
not being all of the same thickness
nor consisting of material equal in
conducting power.
