SOLDIERS PREPARING
 FOR THE LONG VOYAGE.
California's Troops Receive the Governor and His Staff on
 Board the Picking.

The troopship City of Peking was the lodestone that attracted all the small craft on the bay yesterday. The river steamer Sunol ran hourly excursions to her, and all the stealaS and gasoline launches were kept busy from morning to night. There was no time during the. day that there was less than two dozen of Whitehall boats lowering around the big steamer, but the occupants of all and sun dry were doomed to disappointment, as not a soul was allowed aboard the Picking. There was one exception to this rule, how ever. Governor Budd and his staff were allowed aboard during the afternoon.
 The work of putting the ammunition aboard the troopshp was continued throughout the day and was not completed when night fell. At noon time the big barge that lay alongside was only half unloaded and during the afternoon the Unadilla came down from Mare Island with fresh supply. The work of trans ferring the shells from the lighter to the steamer was done by hand and conse- quently slow progress was made.
 The boys in blue that thronged the troopship were interested spectators of everything that went on during the day. The port side of the ship was crowded 3ur6g r6 ne the morning morn Wtn c men tbegs gzng oify upon tier up the rigging as Tar as the cross trees, until each mast looked like a nuSe pyramid or human peinSS. " nen the ship swung with the tide the boys made a rush for the starboard side, but those who had been in the port rigging found their place. of vantage gone, as others of the different companies had been in the starboard rigging half an hour awaiting the turn of the tide.
 It is stated on good authority that on her arrival the steamer China will be turned into a troopship. The Pacific Mali Company assert, however, that they know nothing about the transfer, still they admit that two Japanese steamers are to replace two of their steamers on the Hongkong route These boats will arrive here shortly, and will take up the sailing dates e1 the Picking and tho China.

The coast defense monitor Monterey

The coast defense monitor Monterey went to Mare Island Navy Yard yes terday afternoon to be placed in proper order for the long run to Manila. It is ascertained from high source of au- thority that requirements of the Mon terey are few, and that but short time will be needed to put the vessel in shape for the voyage.
 General Otis, U. $. A., was busy un- til late hour last night at army head quarters in the Phelan building. Yes terday he directed the Seventh Regi- ment of California Volunteers to join the division of troops encamped at the Richmond District. Major Long, chief quartermaster of the department, was directed by General Otis to have the transportation for the troops at the Presidio by 7:30 a. m. to-day.
 The Sixth California Volunter Infan- try, Colonel Johnson, will vacate the camp on the Presidio plain to-day or tomorrow, and go into the brick bar racks formerly occupied by the Third Artillery and First United States In fantry. This movement will practically break the tented encampment at the Presidio.
 Captain Hays battery of California volunteer heavy artillery has been as signed to garrison duty under Colonel Morris, commanding the Presidio.
 There is ample room in the brick bar racks for the Sixth California Volun- teers and the heavy artillery.
 Intelligence was received at the Presidio last night which indicates that the squadron of Fourth United States Cavalry now on garrison duty at the post will go to Manila with Major Gen eral Merritt Word was also received at the Presidio yesterday that General Merritt would arrive here tomorrow evening.

 A number of army officers and friends of General Anderson went on the Aus tralia, which proceeded up to Mission Bay, where she dropped anchor along side the Picking and Sydney. They dined with the general and came ashore at o'clock last evening.

 Sergeant McCarthys remains were re- moved yesterday by his parents and taken into the city for burial. It had been in tended by Colonel Morris that the remains should be inferred in the Presido ceme- tery and the soldier given a military fun eral, but at the request of his parents his body was turned over to them.
 Private Henry Pruett, Company F., Seventh Regiment, who was removed to the post hospital with pneumonia, is in a critical condition and his death is mo- mentarfly expected. No serious cases were reported at any of the regimental or brigade hospitals yesterday

of the Picking three cheers were given for him by the soldiers, which were fol- lowed by three cheers for the staff.
 During the return trip of the Perkins Dr. A. P. O'Brien was presented with a very valuable diamond ring by Dr. Will Hanson on behalf of the Board of Health. Dr. OBrien's orders to proceed to Ma nila with the troops were at first coun- termanded, but yesterday he received a telegram from the War Department or dering him to report for duty. After the presentation those on the Governor Per kins gave three hearty cheers for the doc tor and wished him a safe return from the Philippines.

It is a simple thing to do. Yet there is only one way in which it can be successfully done. There is one thing, and only one thing in this wide world that recreates man. It is "Hudyan." After years and years of patient research the Hudsonian doctors made their famous discovery. "Hudyan" restores to men the grand feeling that we all had in youth. That big SenSes of power with which nature en- dowed us all at the commencement O f life. Exhausted vii tality is unknown where "Hudyan" is used.

SUPPLIES FOR TROOPS.
Great Efforts to Have the Gov ernnent Patronize Western
 Industries

The Manufacturers and Producers As sociation is making a fight to have the l Government purchase as many of the supplies for the Manila. expedition in this city and State as possible. The represen- tatives of the body in the East have been keeping sharp watch to detect in the signs of the times any indication of a very extensive call for provisions, etc., that might be made for the Orient. When the first order was made for troops to go to the support of Commodore | Dewey, the department at Washington 1 also made an order that the purchasing agent in this city get all of the supplies here, so there was necessity for the | association making any efforts to the de- sired end. Yesterday a number of great changes evidently took place at Wash ington. and, according to the best infor- nation that could be obtained, it was de- cided to greatly increase the number of troops to be sent to Manila.
 This also meant that vast quantities of food, clothing, boots and other neces- saries must be bought by the Govern ment. Director Edward Everett of the association, who is now in Milwaukee, was quick to see the opportunity, and he sent the following dispatch to Director Frank l.. Brown:
 Suggest our association cooperating with Wakefield Baker in securing Gov ernment orderS.
 MT. Brown was not slow to take the hint, and, not satisfied with the strength of his own association, he thought it ad- visable to get the cooperation of the Chamber of Commerce in the home indus try movement. In a very short time the following dispatch was on the wires:
 To the Hon. George c. Perkins, United States Senate Washington, D. C.: All kinds of pro visions and supplies for army and navy on Pacific Coast for Philippine expedition can be furnished Government in San Francisco in quantities required better terms than from Eastern cities. Urge Government officials to make purchases here. Cooperate with Cali fornia delegation. HUGH CRAIG, President Chamber of Commerce lOf San Fran

 citation of California.
 Oscar Lewis, manager of the aSSocia- ton, in discussing the move in the inter ests of the merchants and jobbers of this city and State said that it is more than right that the people of the West | should get their share of the patronage of the Government The dealers of the | East have the monopoly of the furnishing of the supplies for the Cuban expedition | and the several squadrons now in the i Atlantic Said he: California canned | and dried meats and fruits are the best | in the world while all of the products of | the cereals are the most abundant also | here Why should the agents of the Gov 1 ernment make their purchases In the | East when they have to lose so much | time in shipping their purchases overland | to this coast? The manufacturers, mer- chants and jobbers of this coast should | have a chance, 9nd we will leave no stone | unturned to secure for them their rights.

What is there in the world that is so pleas ing to feel as a body full of vim. You feel that you are strong; you feel that you are' equal to any task imposed on you; you feel a whole man in fact.

MINING EN YAVAPAi COUNI s
information About inc Movements of
 Mining Men and pT0spectors.

The following mining information IS taken from the last issue of the Pres colt Journal-MineT:
 Ralph Dillon is said to be en rOu-e from England, having accomplished hl5 task Of enlisting foreign capital to Op- crate the Winningham properties at Jerome. The starting of the work and the good showing they are said to make. will result in dozen other prop er.ies starting up. and which adjoln them. Jerome will be one of the great est mining camps in the west under the favorable operation Of these mines, which lay right at it's door.
 The Empire mine. Cn Upper Groom creek. has been closed down for the present. The plant Cn the same is roller mill and proves an unsatisEac- tory process in handling the ore Ii is the intention Of the owners to erect q new and complete mill when the mine will again be started up with q larger force The new machinery has been ordered and will be in operation not later than February 1.
 The former government ruling ad
 hitting patent on groups of mining claims. on one of which $500 worth Of work or Improvements had been done, was superseded on December IT. 1897, by new ruling from the secretary of the intericr and the commissioner OF the general land office, making it nee essary to hare $500 worth Of work done for each claim before palent- could is sue. Subsequently, the operation Of that latter ruling was suspended, upon numerous requests from mine owners everywhere, to go into effect July l. 1928 Since that date it is necessary to make satisfactory showing that for each claim in 2 group for which pal ent is asked, $500 in work or improve ments has been expended, though. as before. all the work may have been done on one claim for the joint i'm Drovement or development of the spec fled group
 4 J. Doran, who was in town yester- day from Lynx creek, where he Is su- parinJending work on Q promising claim, is one of the many practical mining men who believe thac the belt which lies on the west side of that stream. and which by development can be traced for several thousand feet, is guarantee that the future Of that sec ton is assured. At the present time Lynx creek is the scene of more gcnu- inc mining than at any time in its past life. or SO far as quartz operations SC, the intention Of the various companies operating there being to reach greater depth than has ever before been ac- cQmDlished in that district. While nothing of a boom is on hand the fact that deep mining is in order, and bet ter feeling follows the progress of the work we look to see that old section come rapidly to the front, and to stay there.
