Hugh Mcdonnell on the Dizziness
in the East and Interest

A Crowd of People Coming to invest
in the God Mines-This
State in Cover.


Hugh Mcdonnell, the widely known
mining man, who effected the sale OF the
Iron Mountain mines year ago, and who
owns valuable mini ng property at Copper
City and Tehach api, returned here yester-
day from the East, after four weeks abb
sence.
Mr.. Mcdonnell visited Denver Chicago,
New York and other places OF i'm portance.
lie says business is very dull everywhere
he has been and that no place in the East
is to be compared with this country.
"I'll never kick at California again." he
said, expressively; tits the best place
there is, go where you will. Business is
infinitely better here than it is anywhere
East. was surprised to see how quiet it
was everywhere. Chicago is ouieter than
it was when was back there in the sum-
mer. The banks that have been breaking
there have scared people.
'.It's better in New York. They've got
more people there, or at least more
people go there, ana they get show on
their streets. but they are not doing much.
The other cities in the East are dull, too.
~ found there was great interest in the
East in the new mines at Randsburg. L
was asked great many times ABOUT them.
California mining generally is receiving
great attention. The East is putting lots
of money in here, as is England and other
countries of Europe. They are sending
their experts here, and more property will
be bought. The South African excite
ment is off and the mining world is turn
ing to California.
"In Colorado l was much surprised at
the interest in Randsburg. Lots of Colo
RADIO men have come out and become in
terested in that camp, and they have gone
back and eulogized it as being very rich.
This has started others this way.
II saw nowhere where business was so
good or money so plenty as in California.
We are really IN clover. One is struck
with that when he compares the places he
has seen in the East with San Francisco
and other towns of this State. We are
strictly IN it, and l am not exaggeratiDg

MUSIC JOINS LABOR.
The Local Musicians Union AffiIiates
Itself With a National Organi-
Zation of Labor

The local Musicians Union has deserted
its old standard and joined the labor or
CARNATIONS of America under new one
the American Federation of Labor
Formerly the San Francisco musicians
were affiliated with the National League
of Musicians. In course of time new
thought showed itself in the ranks of
union musicians and 1T developed into an
independent body known as the American
Federation of Music. The difficulty be-
tween the two branches was that one side
held that musicians are artists, while the
other contended that they are laporers-
of course. only in the union point OF view.
When the American Federation of La
Dor held its convention recently in Gin
cnnati it granted a charter to the Ameri-
can Federation of Music and thus brought
the musicians within the pale of labor
Musicians united with the new organiza-
ton will consequently share the benefits
of mutual assistance in case of strikes
because they have taken stand on the
broad principles of labor.

sensible Plan of Celebration by the

London. Feb. G.-IIow To celebrate the

mrentiy paramount in the British mind
just now. \ multitude of suggestions
have been made, most of them absurd
and many of them undignified, to say
the least
The Prince of Wales plan announced
to-dny..is for London to celebrate the
Jubilee by providing for the annual de-
iciency of more than half IL million dol
lars in the expense of maintaining hos
pitfalls. This will undoubtedly command
popular sympathy and great support.
The London hospitals are supported al
most exclusively by private funds and
subscriptions.
The Prince of Wales appeal will easily
bring forth the nccess;irysum to cover a
single year deficiency, hut if he has in
mind IL fund which will yield an annual
income Of half IL million dollars -thc..un.
dertaking is indeed Il gigantic one. At
