FROM FOREIGN LANDS.

Argentine is preparing a retaliatory
tariff against the United States.
Emperor Nicholas is DESTROYS of paci-
flying the Poles. His recent visit to
Warsaw was for that purpose.
A special from Buenos Ayres says
that it is feared that the harvest will be
almost entirely destroyed by locusts.
Andrew Carnegie has bought Skibo
castle, with $4,000 acres of the best
shooting and fishing land in Scotland.
Prices in Japan are now steadily ris-
ing, orders on large scale having been
received from abroad by many of the
foreign firms in Yokohama.
Hawaii's legislature is believed to
have ratified the annexation treaty,
and thus to have increased the likeli-
hood of favorable action by the United
States senate.
Advices from Honolulu are that the
Eva plantation has completed its sugar
crop. The total output is Is, 900 short
tons, or 100000 pounds for 1897, the
heaviest sugar yield from any single
plantation on the island. Acreage is
now in for 10000 tons next season.
Roborowsky, the Russian explorer,
has discovered place in Central Asia
where no rain, but only snow, falls at
any time throughout the year. This
is in the ThiEetan highlands, at an al
titude of II 300 feet. The thermometer
on June Is was IL degrees below zero,
centigrade.
Telegraphic advices from the New
York Herald's correspondent at Rio de
Janiero state that the governme has
cabled to the Rothschilds refusing their
offer to lease the Greenwood railroad,
The government holds that such lease
would be in opposition to the interests
of the country.
In the provinces of lula, KIOSK and
Moscow, Russia, owing to the drouth,
winter wheat cannot be soWn. The
peasants have petitioned the throne to
furnish free seeds to the sufferers, ow-
ing to the failure of crops. All grass
has withered, cattle are dying, while
restitution and distress prevail in these
and adjoining provinces.
The treaty signed by the representa-
tives of Guatemala, Costa RIGA, Nicara-
qua, Honduras and Salvador has gone
into effect. The union is named the
Republic of Central America, and the
countries forming it take the name of
states. The fusion of these states is
regarded as of great consequence, espec-
tally as securing internal peace in Gen.
trail America.
An attempt was made to assassinate
President Diaz on September Is. He
was going to review of troops through
a public park, when an Italian named
Arroyo sprang from behind bush and
lunged at him with poniard. The
minister of war seized the man and flung
him to the ground, when he was ar
rested. Diaz escaped injury. The
would-be assassin was killed by mob
the following evening.
The latest scandal in court circles has
set all Europe by the ears. 1t is re-
ported that the Guelph fund of sixty
million marks has been squandered by
Emperor William. The fund was the
private fortune of the house of Han
over. The English royal family has
some claim to it. Much feeling has been
engendered in royal circles.

San Diego Gold.

G. L. Hubbs showed the Tribune re-
porter fine display of free milling
quartz with visible gold sticking out all
over it. This ore comes from the
Mountain View and Poor Man mining
claims, situated in the Julian district,
only about sixty miles from this city,
and ought certainly to satisfy any of our
citizens who contemplate searching for
the yellow metal that San Diego county
is good enough. 1t is only question
of time when this fact will become APP
parent. That time will come when the
"gouging," the gophering and the
coyoteing period closes and real mining
commences. The ore from these mines
is very rich-even that which does not
show visible gold is high-grade free
milling ore.-San Diego Tribune.

THE QUEST.

upon my lips there fell when first the night
Faies IN the highest heaven, seeing day
Far down the fathomless eastern depths
away
raies with fearful Joy, dread delight
Upon my lips, with wakeful watching white
There fell kiss. One instant's space It lay
Soft as a roseleaf that the west winds fray,
And then my eyes awoke to dazzled sight.
The warmth, the tender impact and the thrill
burnt on my lips, and the calm pulse of sleep.
Awoke and quivered quick In soft surprise.
From that day forward knew Lowell
And still
By day I search and nightly vigil keep
For her revealed to me in such strange wises

A Mica Mine.

George and Scott Barton show speci-
mems of mica taken from mine dis.
covered by them some two months ago
on the Alamo mountain, just over the
line in Ventura county. They claim
that they have the most valuable mine
of this substance in California, the ledge
being eight feet wide and the "books''
of unusual size. The material splits
5000 to the inch, and these sheets are
very clear. Certainly, the specimens of
isinglass shown indicate that the quail
ity is superior. Bakersfield Califor-

A Smart Young Woman.

There is rich looking quatrz ledge
running through the heart of the town
of Placerville, but until recently it was
supposed to be held under patent. A
young lady named Mcconnell, living
near the groupings, noticed mining ex-
pert taking bearings as if about to locate
the ledge, went down and bought To-
cation notice and had her claim record
ed before the expert had his measure
ment completed. Her location gives
her 1900 feet along the ledge and extends
from Mill street across Main to the Zim-
norman box factory. -Placerville

Silver Mining at Twenty Cents an Ounce
Paws.

From the Nogales, Arizona, Oasis, of
August %, we clip this item, which,
shows how utterly futile it is for our.
government to attempt to coin silver at.
$1.29 per ounce and even hope to hold
it at par:
Wednesday the mill of the Colorado.
Mining company at Las Planchas started
up after complete and thorough over
hauling. Everything is in first-class
condition and working finely. During
the suspension of the mill development
has been vigorously prosecuted, great
area of virgin ground is opened up and
ready for stopping, and there are over
thousand tons of high grade silver ore
on the dump, with many thousands of
tons in sight in the mine. A great deal
of it will run $50 ounces to the ton, and
none of it less than so ounces. Super
intendent Allen says the Colorado COM
pany is utterly Indifferent to the price
of silver-at 20 cents per ounce they can
make money. 1t is the production of
such mines that is bearing down the
price of silver.

Atty. Gen. w. F. Fitzgerald has rem
dered very important opinion relative
to the holding of primary elections this
year. 1t is particularly important at
the present time, in view of the fact
that this year there will be several cleo
tions held in different places in the state,
and the question was whether such cleo
tions and the selection of the election
commissioners should be under the old
law or under the law passed by the late
legislature. The opinion has a partic-
ular bearing on this city and Sacra-
mento, besides one or two other cities
where elections will be held this year.
The Attorney-General's opinion was
given in response to an inquiry by
Mayor Hubbard of Sacramento. He
holds that the new act is imperative
priOr to 1898. and does not govern pri-
mary elections held before that time.
The Attorney-Genera maintains that
primary officers can only be selected in
a year in which a general election is to
be held.

A Big Quartz Ledge.

The largest ledge of quartz ever dis
covered in this basin or surrounding
country, was found yesterday two miles
east of town, between Grouse and
Meadow creeks, by Webb and Martin
son. Practical and capable miners have
investigated it and tested the rock in
hand mortars and all pronounce it
great find, calculated to make the lucky
prospectors rich men. Webb has spent
over thirty years in active mining
work. He was here in the eos, and
has since been in California and Mon
tana, and says he never saw any ledge
so extensive as this one.
Two prospect holes have been sunk ON
the ledge, one ten feet deep and the other
about six, and show the ledge to be
over twenty feet wide. That much of
the ledge is now uncovered and rock
taken from different parts of the ledge
shows color and prospects we'll. The
men locating this valuable claim are
well-known miners.-Florence, Idaho.

The Mines at Hedges.

Speaking of the mines at Hedges, G.
W. Pauly said recently: "The mines
are in good shape. We have been rum
ming so of the 140 stamps until recently,
and are now running 70. The gold is
taken from the Cross and Crown mine
mo intentional slur on Mr.. Bryan.
The rock runs about So per ton, and we
crush 24O tons per day. Just before /
left we made very satisfactory clean
up. Between 100 and 200 men are at
work, partly Americans and partly
Mexicans. The Americans do the ex-
pert mining, and the Mexicans shovel,
cut wood and do purely manual labor.
The wood is found on the desert, twelve
or fourteen miles from camp, and it
sells by the ton instead of by the cord.
We pay 81 per ton at the scales. 1t is
iron wood, very hard, and good fuel.
"There are about 400 people in camp,
and 100 more in the vicinity. All are
dependent upon the mines for support"

For Young Farmers.

The Agricultural college at the State
University is offering two practical
short courses, one for the farmer, stock
breeder and dairy man, the other for
the horticullurist, both beginning Jan
uary 4, 1898, and continuing twelve
weeks. No tuition is charged. These
courses deal exclusively with the prac-
tical phases of agriculture, dairying
and horticulture, and cover the subjects
of breeding, feeding and judging live
stock, butter and cheese making, crop
growing, veterinary science, manures
and fertilizers, drainage, orcharding,
small fruit growing, market gardening,
methods of combating injurious insects
and destructive diseases of the orchard
and field crops, and training in car
peutry and blacksmithing.
Even experienced and successful
farmers and horticulturists have found
many things of great value TO them in
these courses. This instruction, how
