of the oil resources of Central California is

The Christian Endeavor people have been
swarming into the rooms of the State Board
OF Trade this week, as well as great mum Der
OF those who have merely taken advantage of
the cheap rates to make a trip to California.
and great many of these visitors have made
special inquiries about the mining resources
of the State. They have heard of the mining
revival in this State, the romance OF Califor-
MAS gold is with them, and some of them
have ideas that they would like to own gold
mines Anyway they want to know about
the mines. Great numbers ale visiting the
State Mining Bureau, but more naturally get
to TIE State Board OF Trade. This is a re-
minder OF what THE CALL urged some time
ago, with the backing of J. A.IFIlcher, then the
secretary, that the mining counties should
place and sustain in the rooms of the State
Board of Trade attractive mineral exhibits al

regions with ores, maps, photographs, relics,
curios and so on. The State Board of Trade is
visited by thousands of strangers YEARLY The
present mineral exhibits are poor and obscure.
The county boards of trade of the mining
region should advertise their mining re-
sources as well as their big fruits, and the

The State Printing Office muddle is affecting
the work Of the State Mining Bureau and the
mining industry as seriously as any institu-
ton or interest in the State. 1t is the wish of
State Mineralogist Cooper to publish promptly
In the form OF bulletins the Work of the field
deputies as fast as results are obtained instead
OF waiting two years for the publication OF the
biennial report, ana in this time of mining
activity this should be done. Special Field
Assistant J. H. Means has completed a survey
OF the geology, mineralogy and mining opera
tions of the famed Randsb burg district, and
map is being prepared under his direction. If
this report could be published now as q buIle-
tin 1t would be of widespread interest and
great value, but ii il must slum Der for nearly
two years it will amount to little or nothing.
SPECIAL Field Assistant Harold Fairbanks has
just completed q similar survey of a large
coast region in Santa Barbara ana San Luis
Ob1Spo counties, ana amid the present active
oil and mineral development of that region
his report would be OF exceptional value if
published now in the form of bulletin. Other
field assistants who are at work in the gold
producing regions are compiling importan in
formation that seems likely TO stale in pigeon
holes for year or two until out of date. Mr..
Cooper has planned special bulletins on the
oil resources OF the State, its natural water
power with mapsl, and so on, but the troubles
oil the State Printing Office bar the way If
the way is cleared for the State Printer 10 re-
sumo his normal functions the State Mining
Bureau will ublish some important bulletins
this year.
There are premonitions of new oil boom in
Southern California. There is great activity
in prospecting. a great deal of development
work is going on, and actual production is in
ereasing so that predictions are being made
that this years product will exceed 1000
gallons. Field Assistant w. L. Watts is busy
at explora tions, and the State Mineralogist is
constantly being asked for his services by men
and corporations who want oil fields explored.
The Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe COM
panies both want him to explore fields they
have acquired and which they will develop as
warrant extensive explorations. The Southern
Pacific has oil lands near Fullerton, and the
Santa Fe, which used oil as fuel on its engines
in that region until the price went up some
little time ago, is conducting borings lands
in Los Angeles County. Circuit Judge Ross

THE THEORY OF
THIS SALE.

The seaso ons of the year at HaIe's are
distinctly separated. At the beginning
of fall e very yard of summer goods must
be gone The shelves must be clea n
and ready for the new stocks. The OBJ
ject of a clearance sale is to prepare
these stocks for the new season, and to
sell the novelties at whatever price is
necessary to insure a speedy exit. The
time to close such lines is when the de-
mand is greatest, and hat time is now.
With three months ahead to wear these
goods no prudent woman should pass
this sale without her careful conSidera-
fiOn.

HAS BLOOD IN Her EYE
Japan Determined to Force
Trouble With Hawaii.
ARBITRATION PROPOSALSIGNORED
The United states Likely to be Called
Upon to Settle the Immigration
Squabble.
New YoRK, July IA dispatch to

New YORK, July IA dispatch to
The Herald from Washington says:
Hawaii has offered to refer to arbitra-
between herself and Japan, but the To-
kio government has so far ignored the
proposition. Telegraphic Information to
this effect has been received at the state
department, and it is therefore possible
to deny the report published that Japan
had agreed to arbitrate the vexed ques-
tion she is discussing with the Hawaiian
government. The proposition was made
in the report sent the Hawaiian minister
for foreign affairs. Mr.. Cooper, in an
swer to Mr.. Shimumura's last letter re-
iterating the demand of his government
that Hawaii recognize the principle of
monetary liability as motive of her ac-
tion in excluding Japanese immigrants.
The Hawaiians do not expect that
Japan would accept arbitration. In
fact, before Minister Shimumura began
correspondence with Mr.. Cooper in re-
lation to the matter, he declared that his
government would never consent to ar
bitration. At that time neither he nor
his government had any idea that the
strong arm of the United States was soon
to be thrown around Hawaii, and it was
because of this ignorance, state depart
ment officials say, that japan has as
sumed such commanding tone in her
negotiations with the little republic.
It is said that Mr.. Shimumura in his
last correspondence with the Hawaiian
government, demands further explana-
tion in regard to certain details connec-
ted with the immigration controversy, lin
which he holds that Hawaiian authori-
ties have committed an official offense
against his government. The minister
refused to admit the principle of none
tary liability, aud insists that the Jap
anese government does not want to get
at the real merits of the controversy,
otherwise it would acquiesce in the prop
osition to refer the matter to arbitration.
In view of Mr.. Cooper's refusal, it is
the general expectation in administra-
tion circles that whether the senate rati-
fies the pending annexation treaty or
fails to take action during the present
session, this government will have to set
tie immigration question with Japan.

RACE WAR AT TIEN-Ts1N. CHINA.
Natives are Enraged Against Foreign
Residents.

SAN Francisco, July 12.-The Occi.
dental and Oriental steamer Doric has
arrived from China and Japan, two days
ahead of schedule time. She brought
Yokohama advices to June 27.
The Japan Mail gives a summary of
correspondence from Tien-Tsin, which
shows that the state of the foreign
colony in that city is alarming. Three
Chinese were killed in the last days of
May on charges that they had stolen
native children in order that they might
serve as offerings to insure the safety of
the foundations of the new French
Catholic cathedral to be dedicated June
81.
A Tien-Tsin correspondent says:
"It is reported that conspiracy has
been formed to attack the foreign settle
ment on June 81 and to burn the Roman
Catholic cathedral. The consuls of the
various nationalities have deemed it
