MINERAL OUTPUT FOR 1895.
Interesting Figures Furnished by the
State Mineral Bureau.
Nearly $40, 100000 of Gold and Sill
yer, and S4,O0O,000 of Other
Kinds of Minerals.

The State Mining Bureau has issued
a bulletin which cannot fail to prove
of interest not only to mining men
but to all who are interested in the
general advancement and progress of
the State. The bulletin, copies of which
may be had in the Janitor's office at
the State Capitol, contains mass of
useful information, and shows the
amount and value of mineral produc-
tions of each and every county in the
State for the year 1896. The story is
told in figures based upon reports made
to the Mining Bureau from each of the
several counties, and in substance is as
follows:
The value Of gold produced in the
| several counties, as per returns to the
United States Mint at San Francisco.
was ST, ISL, $50 20, Nevada County
heading the list with $3.50, 156 ID
Placer County was next in line with
81, GA, S44 80, and the other great gold
producers following in the order
named: Calaveras 81, ,546, 1893 So, ANA
dor 81, ,523, ,351 %, Trinity 81, ,296,330 80
Siskiyou $1,091 ,264 81, and Tuolumne
81 ,070 141 81
1t will thus be seen that during the
year 1896, seven counties in the State
passed the million-dollar mark, four
the million and half line, while one
(Nevada) passed the two and a quarter
million point, with new finds being
located daily
The counties which produced over q
half million dollars worth of gold
bullion are El Dorado SS12.2S9 26.
Sierra $7S6174 81, Butte S749.316 0S.
Shasta 5000, 209 81, Kern $500, ,S66 10,
and San Diego S56075S, while those
that went over the 100000 mark, and
under S500,000, are: Plumas, S462,-
526 81, Mono S451 ,553 rs, Mariposa
1885, ,637 33, Riverside $262. 800, Inyo
S23S, ,507 %. Yuba S171,6S7 II, Sacra-
mento $133, $50, and MADEIRA $1O4,-
339 81.
The total production of silver during
the year amounted to S422, 1853 60, San
Bernardino County yielding $780,
ia 04, Inyo S10S, ,619 26, Mono $50, :
2S3 SO. Kern S34, ,649 63, Shasta S24,-
23s'3 6S, and Riverside S13,450.
The remainder of the output was fur
nished by Amador, Butte, Calaveras,
Ell Dorado. MADEIRA, Nevada, Placer,
and few others, making the total
yield Of precious metals in the State
for the year 1896, ST., ,6O4, ,026 80.
The total output of chrome. and min
eral paint for the year was, valued in
dollars, S13,315, San Luis Obispo, So
noma and Stanislaus Counties being
the principal producers.
The output of quicksilver for the
year amounted to 80. 0.765 TASKS, valued
at S1,015,449. The yield of this product
was pretty evenly divided between
Lake, Napa, San Benito, Santa Clara,
Sonoma and Trinity Counties, with
Napa in the lead with II, All TASKS,
valued at S4O3, OBJ.
Thus it will be seen that the total
value of mineral substances, including
precious metals. was SIS. .937, 1913.

Queen Victoria and Her Coronation.

Several mistakes occurred during the
ceremOnials. The heads of the depart
ments" did not seem to know their
business. The Queen preserved her COM
pOsure and did not seem embarrassed,
though once she turned to Lord Thyme
and said, Pray tell me what I am to
do, for they don't know" Lord Role,
a man 80 years old and very feeble,
stumbled and fell as he attempted to
mount the steps of the throne to do her
homage May l not get up to meet
him?" she exclaimed, and without
waiting for reply she arose and went
to him, and this little act of thought
full kindness called forth praise from
all behOlders.
The confusion ceased when the choir
sang, This Is the Day." ETC. The peo-
pie again shouted, God save Queen
Victoria!" as she arose from the throne
and followed the Archbishop tc the
altar. She laid aside the crown and
scepter, and knelt to receive the sac
rament She then resumed her "en-
signs of royalty" and returned to the
throne till the communion service was
finished and with this the ceremony of
the coronation of Queen Victoria came
to an end. She had been in the abbey
four hours and a half when she was
permitted to enter her state coach to
return to the palace. Her finger panied
her, and the orb she was obliged to
carry made her wrist ache. Whenever
she bowed her acknowledgements to
the people the crown would become
displaced. Both hands We're occupied
holding the orb and scepter, and it was
impossible for her to adjust the i'm
perial diadem but the Duchess of
Sutherland, who was with her in the
carriage, assisted her as we'll as she
could. 1t seemed SO ludicrous that her
majesty could not restrain her mirth
and she burst into a merry peal of
laughter. At last all was ended; but
before the weary head was placed upon
it's pillow she sent to inquire if Lord
Role was quite well. Lord Greville
says: 1T is in fact the remarkable
union of naivete. kindness and good ma
ture with propriety and dignity which
makes her so admirable and so endear-
ing to those about her.''-Harper's

children, of crowded huts, of concen-

en- without any attempt at conceal
ment. The mother of a pair of twins
had just persuaded the cherubs to face
the camera when the officer of the
day, a serious faced captain, appeared
and looked upon the smiling group of
reconcentrados with evident disappro-
baton. He wanted to know if a permit
had been obtained from the comman-
dante
When he learned that the formality
had been overlooked he said it would
be necessary to go at once to the head
quarters. With a score of boys fol-
lowing and the guide looking fright
ened, the line of march upon the COM
mandante was taken up. What might
have happened had that official been

could not think of arousing his super

to proceed and accepted an invitation
to go to the hotel with such prompt
ness that it was evidently a relief to a
strained situation AT the hotel the
ofncer OF the day was made as COM
Portable as circumstances would per-
init. His taste was consulted as to
the proper manner to exchange inter-
national courteSies, and when he went
away it was with the observation that
later hour would do very we'll for
the call upon the commandante. The
next time the officer saw the comman-
dante he found that his prisoners on
parole had preceded him Soma LOT
ters had been shown and good rela-
tions had been established.
They were taking pictures of the
camp said the officer, Indicating the
American and his companion.
They have letters; they are all
right" the commandante replied. With
that the incident closed, although the
look which came over the face of the
officer of the day did not indicate com

A STREAK OF VANITY.
Why the Kodak is Worth More Than
Passport in Cuba.

One Of the regulations of the Spanish
army forbids the taking of photo
graphs without permit. For a shot
at a fortification with the camera the
penalty is especially severe. New
ertheless it is the universal testi-
mony of American newspaper correspon-
dents that while travelling in Cuba a
camera is a better protection than a
passport. This is because no nation
ality is fonder of posing in uniform be-
fore the lens. The Spaniard, officer
or soldier, writes w. 3. Stevens in the
St Louis Globe Democrat" never
misses a chance to be taken" Per-
mission to photograph fort will be re-
fused with very positivef shake of the
head, but a request to be allowed to
snap the garrison drawn up with the
fort as a background is always met
with smiling acceptance. A captain
or a lieutenant will turn out his COM
mand and put it in any position sug-
gested if he learns that a picture is
wanted. Ii a suspect or a real inSur-
gent is brought into camp the detach-
ment which has made the capture will
enter heartily into a plan to pose in a
way to reproduce the scene of their
efficiency. The prisoner will be brought
out and made to kneel while the SOL
diers and the officer in charge of them
take positions. On one occasion the
whole scene was reproduced in such re-
alistic manner that the poor prisoner
clapped his hands upon his eyes and for
few moments underwent all Of the

will
climb on top of their travelling fort and
get into position any time at the sug-
gestion of a desire for a picture. They
will do it with alacrity and manifesta-
ton of good feeling, as if a compli-
ment had been paid them. The fact
that he may never see the picture and
that it is going where no one will rec
ognize him seems to make no difference
to the Spanish officer or soldier. If
Ell Americana wants the picture enough
to ask for 1t he is willing to accommo
date. The more realistic of war the
posing can be made the more heartily
the Spaniard enters into the PROPOSE
ton. For him the camera has a fas-
cination. Rank cuts no figure. Col
onels as well as corporals are suscep
tible.
