ner he knew at once who the unfortE-

He remembered that last October
Mrs. Waldeih, who lived in that locali-
ty, had been committed to the Stock
ton Asylum and shortly afterward re-
leased, so he detailed Deputies Hin
ters and Smith to go there and bring
her in for re-examination.
AS the deputies approached the hut
in which the family live one of the lit
tie boys ran into the house crying,
Mother. the police are comingi"
The woman attempted to keep the
officers from entering the house, but
they succeeded in getting in, and she
was taken to the County Jail and
placed in the ward for insane patients
pending her examination.

BANKER MILLER EXAMINED.
ASSESSOR BERKEY OBTAINS
CERTAIN INFORMATION.
On This He Will Base His Assess
ment of the Mills Ma
tional Bank.

Assessor Berkey had a very unusual
task yesterday in examining Banker
Miller on the taxable assets of the
National Bank of D. O. Mills & Co.
The questions all related to the as
sets and liabilities of that bank at
noon ON Monday, March 1st. The As
SCISSOR had the published and sworn
reports of the bank for December, 1896
and especially for March 8, 1897. The
report for the latter date is substanti-
ally like the figures given by Mr.. Mil
ler for March.
The bank figures are as follows: Col
lateral loans, $21S,000; unsecured
loans, 81 ,625, 161 ii; less deposits,
81, 500, 500 63, exempt; United States
bonds, S57 900, exempt; mortgages,
S62, ,24S, already taxed; realty and fur
niture, $4,000, already taxed; stocks
on hand. $780, ,537 81; cash on hand,
S307, 615 81; in United States Treasury,
Sc $50, probably exempt
No special deposits of money on hand
of any kind, whatever was the declar-
alton of the banker, and he added that
it was against the policy and privi-
leges of national banks to receive funds
in that way at any time.
w S. Wood, who is the attorney for
all the national banks in California,
contended that the legal and only
method of taxing his clients is that
followed in nearly all the States of the
Union, that a national bank pays on its
realty only, and that the shareholders
pay on their shares, and he quotes de-
cisions at length to show that this is
the law.
The County Assessor relies more on
the State laws, and apparently is pro-
ceeding against the national bank of
D. O. Mills as if it were an individual.
The questions and answers we're
taken down in writing very easily, and
quickly, except that there was long
discussion over the question, What
deposits did you have on hand?"
After considerable fencing between
the Assessor and his attorney on the
one side and the banker and his attor-
ney the other, the words"on hand" We're
erased, and the question was then
answered thus:
'At noon of Monday, March l, 1897,
we owed depositors $1,693, SOC g."
The dispute over this was not clear
to the observer as the amount was not
doubted, but perhaps the counselors
had in view some past decision of a
high court as to the meaning of the
words ION hand"
Wood if the latter would be permitted
Wood if the lattet would be permitted
to ask Mr.. Miller a series of questions
pertinent to the matter in hand, but
Mr.. Berkey replied that he did not
think it advisable. He had sought GER
tain information, and it had been given
quite fully, he believed-and all that
remained to be done was for him
to come to a conclusion satisfactory to
himself, from the facts obtained.
This concluded the inquiry.

BUSINESS MEMS MEETING.
AN EFFORT TO ESTABLISH A
NEEDED INSTITUTION.
The Object Not Speculative, but
Facilitate Business with
Mining Sections.

Several meetings have been held re-
Gently of Sacramento business men with
a view to establishing in Sacramento
an assay office, where people of the
mining regions can have their samples
tested. and to make il sufficiently COM
prehensive to prove small working as
says that the true milling value Of
ores may be ascertained here. 1t IS
also TO furnish a place of sale, where
prosepctors and miners may sell their
amalgam and gold dust, far more OF
which is now sold than most people i'm
agine AS il is now, they have to go
to San Francisco to make any sale, ana
no assay can be made satisfactorily
except at Gait in this county, or IN
San Francisco.
The idea is. therefore, to establish
laboratory, assay Office and testing
stamp mill, for the purposes stated
That these things are not here IS the
cause for the loss of no little trade TO
Sacramento and the source of a good
deal of annoyance and unnecessary
heavy cost to prospectors and mine
owners.
The object is not at all speculative,
but to more closely relate business in
terests Of this city with the people Of
the mining sections who trade here,
and VIII do so greatly more il they
can have necessary accommodations
such as referred to. The business men
who have conceived the idea say that
often mine owners hesitate, and per-
haps build expensive mills on veins
that a close milling process will not
justify, and so, too. is the reverse Of
the case. where a test of one or two
tons, taken from various points may
determine valuable property to exist

or prevent waste of investment.
They add: The mining men are fast
discovering the Importance Of this prac-
tieal work. At the present time all the
samples go elsewhere to be tested. We
have not now any kind of an assay
office. Years ago Sacramento was the
center for all mining business of Cen
trail and Northern. California, and while
1t is fact that the mining counties ad-
jacent to us are the largest producers
in the State, and buy largely from our
merchants various lines Of goods, yet
in the line proposed now TO be estab-
Hshed here our people have had to
refer them to other places to have their
work done or to dispose of their ANAL

The. promoters of the plan say that
they are not actuated by any motives

posed but simply to furnish miners
and prospectors-an the hills are full
Of the latter these days-a needed con-
venience, though they believe that such

is not to be any dealing in mines or
mining stocks, no promotion of mines,
nor anything but scientific ascertain
ment OF values of whatever is submit
ted, and also purchase of amalgam and
dust that producers. may come here
with it, and naturally that Sacramento
wiz thereby gain in trade and in fur
nishing supplies.
The citizens moving in the matter
say that the feeling of common inter-
est between the mountains and val
leys is now rapidly expanding, and
that the recent consultations between
commercial and mining bodies have
brought about an era of good feeling,
and point to settlement of vexed is
sues along lines of right, justice and
mutual interest.

MR.. WILLIAM ARMSTONG.

treatment partially helped me, but the
disease shortly returned. I went to

Somehow the impression has gone
abroad that Congress recently passed a
law. TO go into effect tomorrow, per
mitting business men to have their ad-

In this connection Postmaster Fox

From the large number of inquiries
now being received by the Department,
there seems to be a general belief that

Itching
Burning,
Eczema

Is the external indication of a con-
dition of the blood which produces a
fiery irritation almost unbearable 1t is
a mistake to think that this local irrita-
tion IS the disease itself-it is simply au
evidence of disordered condition of the
blood. The seat of the disease is in the
blood, and this is why the various sa1ves
and ointments usually applied have no
effect whatever. They cannot possibly
reach the origin of the trouble; only a
blood remedy can do that. S. S. S. is
without an equal for blood diseases, and
promptly and permanently cures Eczema
and removes all taint.
Much torture could be avoided if the
first itching symptoms were needed and
a course of S.S.S. taken promptly, as ap-
parently insignificant skin irritations
usually develop into the worst form
OF Eczema unless properly treated.
1t matters not what other treatment
has been tried in vain, S. S. S. always
gets at the seat of the disease, and
forces It out.
