A RICH STRIKE
Miners at Mokelumne Uncover Good
Ledge

AGukc
STOCKTON, Cal, Jan. 24.-News has
just reached this city of a rich strike last
Friday in the Roanoke mine property Of
Geo. B. Sperry, George West and DR..
Wallace of this city and Mr.. Kittridge of
New York, and situated near Mokelum-
ne Hill.
The strike was made at depth of 300
feet, where large body of rich ore was
uncovered The ledge is ten feet wide,
containing considerable free gold, and is
free milling ore. Some Of it will assay
$500 ton and some as high as $1,000.
1t is the purpose of the owners to sink
200 feet on the ledge, and operations will
be begun 1t once. The mine in which the
strike was made was formerly known as
the "Lamphere," and the present owners
have been operating it bu four years.
The twenty-stamp mill which had been
erected some time ago was burned re-
Gently, having been set on fire by incen-
diaries. The mill was erected at cost
of 1000, and in view of the recent strike
it is highly probable that it will be re-
built. In fact, the owners of the mine
are even now awaiting the arrival of
eastern capitalists with that end in
view. No stock is for sale, it being a
close corporation.

ECLIPSE PICTURES
Good Views Obtained by the Lick
Astronomers

Astronomers
LICK OBSERVATORY, Cal, Jan. "a
A cablegram received at Mount Hamil-
ton from Prof. Campbell, who is in
charge of the Crocker Lick observatory
expedition at Jeur, India, states that
most satisfactory photographs of the CO.
roma were obtained with three different
telescopes, one set with a telescope forty
feet long and two set with five foot and
three foot telescopes. He also reports
that the great equatorial extension of
the corona, which formed such a con-
spicuous feature of the eclipse of Janu-
ary, 1889, has again been photographed.
He also satisfactorily photogra phed
the changes in the solar spectrum with
the aid of one of the spectroscopes and
probably obtained successful photo
graphs of the reversing layer.
The vapors of certain incandescent
matter in the lower region of the suns
atmosphere form a comparatively thin
stratum in a more elevated region
called the reversing layer. Certain of
the rays of light from the lower regions
Of the same atmosphere are absorbed
in passing through this stratum, and the
absence of these rays is indicated by the
presence of dark lines in the solar spec
trum. 1t is this reversing layer that has
probably been photographed by the Lick
observatory party.

A FOOL YELLED FIRE
SOARING THE CHILDREN OF A
CHICAGO SCHOOL
Fire Drills Are All Right, But They
May Be Made Rather
Realistic

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.@Through an error
on the part-of az unknown man. panic
was caused this afternoon among the
1000 children in the Dore school on Har-
rison street. Serious results must have
followed had not Principal r. M. Hitch
and teachers shown calmness and pres
ence of mind. For long time Principal
Hitch has given his pupils fire drill.
1t was the custom in the school at times
for the principal to suddenly ring
large bell, and every scholar and all the
teachers were carefully instructed in
what they must do in order that all of
them might reach the street in safety.
The herald., 1898-01-25

The drills had been discontinued for
some time, and the principal thought it
a good time to see how much the pupils
had forgotten. He accordingly rang the
bell suddenly. In one of the rooms con-
tanning the youngest children there was
some excitement, but it was quickly
checked by the teacher, who soon had all
of the children in line and passing rapid
ly through the door, The first boys to
reach the street began to cry "Fire!'' af-
ter their custom when the fire drills were
in progress, and man who was passing
thinking the building was on fire, ran to
the corner and turned in the alarm
Before half of the pupils had reached
the street, engines and hose carts were
tearing up to the building, the firemen
came piling into the school, dragging
along lines of hose. This and the putting
of the engines brought trifie too much
realism into the drill, and there was
great excitement among the pupils. The
principal and teachers kept their heads,
however, and while restraining the ex-
citement as best they could hurried the

The twelfth division was one of the
most striking of the whole parade. 1t
consisted of several hundred Chinese
warriors in costume, and small bat
talon of Chinese native sons.
The three remaining divisions included
the Foresters, Old Friends, Wild West
show, and a long train of carriages and
citizens on foot.
A notable feature of the procession
was the participation of Chinese and
Japanese residents of this city. The
former had a striking float, attended by
gorgeously attired men on foot; several

When the Calaveras county miners
band arrived here last night on belated
and overcrowded visitors train it was
met at the foot of Market street by
Tom Lane of Angels, Marshal of the
miners division, and by w. Honold,
President of the Association of Gala
veras county. Two large busses were
in waiting and conveyed the musicians
to the Palace Hotel. There, in the great
court they played Rosey's Handicap
March and j. o. Casey's Dominant
March before an admiring audience, in
which was the Executive Committee of
the Golden Jubilee, in honor of which
the serenade was given. Marching from
the Palace Hotel court, the miners Wis
tied and serenaded the various news
papers.
With the rising of the sun this morn
ing the celebration of the fiftieth ami
versary of the discovery of gold in Cal
ifornia, known as the Golden Jubilee,
was heralded by the booming of the
guns at the various forts which line the
shores of the bay at the entrance to the
Golden Gate. The salute commenced
with welcome of twenty-one guns from
the big 12-inch guns at Fort Point. This
was followed in quick succession by the
guns at Fort Mason, Alcatraz and Angel
Island.

THE PARADE
Punctually at 1890 o'clock, one of the
most interesting parades ever seen in
the State marched through the streets,
which were gaily decorated with flags
and bunting, and thronged with people
from every part of the State. At least
fifty thousand strangers poured into
the city last night and this morning and
half as many more from the towns across

city along the line of march.

the other morning when on passing a

with philanthropic and charitable work,
was especially indignant. Purely in the
interests of society she undertook to
discover just what particular style of
evil was for sale. Entering the shop
with her nose high in the air, she ap-
preached the proprietor. Man, she

Cleanliness.

One of the most important factors in
maintaining health in good order is
cleanliness. tits comprised in measures
that tend to keep the organs clean and
in proper order to perform all their
functions. The cleanliness of the skin
and the air (purity of the air) that we
breathe in are essential for the proper
keeping OF ones health. Any impurities
that are taken in breathing find their
way to the blood, and thus serve so
many centers of disease and are the
cause OF many infectious diseases.
Again, if the skin is not kept clean the
impurities that are to be secreted are
unduly accumulated in the blood and
tend to give rise to severe and often
dangerous disorders. such as skin dis
