TIMES AND MINING.
San Dernardino Conner.

San Bernardino county may soon be
able to boast of her copper output j.
Irvine Crowell of Corona is represen-
tative of some eastern corporations
which have taken hold Of a copper de
pcsit and intend to develop it.
The copper deposit in question is
situated about midway between Dag
gett and Randsburg. 1t is a belt two
miles broad by twenty-eight miles
long. In this belt the gentlemen have
located 1873 claims. The ore is unusu-
ally rich running II per cent copper
and about $11 gold and $13 silver to the
ton. This is an average, while choice
specimens have gone as high as 40 per
cent. copper The Arizona mines only
yield 10 per cent. copper, and that is
considered rich. In the belt there has
been found plenty of water.
The proposition is purely one Of
smelling. The properties are now in
the hands Of two rich private eastern
corporations, the Pacific Copper Alli-
ance of New York and the United
Yucca Copper Mining Company, and
another will soon be organized in Bos-
ton to cooperate. The properties are
positively not for sale, and neither will

rations that can handle copper propo-
sitions, and especially one Of such ex-
tent ais this. They will, sometime
shortly, but just when Mr.. Crowell
would not say, commence the erection
of 100-ton smelter for the reduction
of their ores. There is no possible
chance for the scheme to fail, consid-
ering the richness of the ores and the
money backing the development and
the industry will be one Of the most
important started in this county in
years, if ever.
Mr. Crowell has just returned from
the mines which they have appropri-
ately termed Copper City, and well
they may, for If the present plans
carry through a small city will some
day result. The assessment work on
the 1873 claims has just been completed,

ties shafts have been sunk and the ore

from the fact that the Army and Navy
Register prints only inspired news.
The court of inquiry sent the follow

the port side where torpedo or mine
was started. A part of the port side
and the greater part of the forward

edge at the deck were pushed up. The

There is general activity IN the
Washington navy yard, three shifts of

tinuously. The completion of the big
guns there is being pushed ahead with

Although France has now been re-.
public for about twenty-seven years,
there is still a royalist party which
entertains hopes of restoration Of the
monarchy. The expectations of this
party have centered in the Duke of Or.
leans, the head Of the House Of Orleans.
Some stir has been occasioned In
French political circles by recent let
Ter or manifesto from the duke which,
though 1t is not an actual abdication Of
his claims, recommends his followers
to make the. best of existing conditions
and to labor for the supreme interest of
France rather than the interest Of their
party. This action removes one disturb
ing influence from this years general
parliamentary elections in France, and
tends to strengthen the republic.

Forage Crops.

A correspondent of the Pacific Rural
Press writing from Calisroga, says
that he has been experimenting on a
small. SCALE for several years past
with many different kinds of forage
crops, that have been, and are still,
highly recommended by many of the
eastern seedmen. Here are the names
Of some of them: Jerusalem corn,
sacaline, crimson clover, dwarf Es-
sex rape, sand or winter vetch, foura
of several kinds, Kaffir corn and sew
eral kinds of millet. The correspond
ent adds:
II freely acknowledge that I have
been greatly disappointed in all of
them. l still maintain that alfalfa
and corn fodder according to my
judgment, are two, at least, of the best
forage crops that can be grown in this
State, especially for men Of small
means and who, perhaps, like myself
have at most only ten or twelve acres
of land, the larger portion of which
is in fruit trees. The gopners, how
ever, are so very destructive here to
alfalfa that l have about given up the
idea of trying to raise it successfully
and have, therefore, for some years
past raised corn, beets, squashes and
winter pineapple muskmelons for my
COW, horse and hogs. I am fully sat
isfied that sweet-corn fodder, carefully
cured, is actually worth, ton for ton,
two-thirds as much for either q COW or
horse as most Of the hay that is
raised"

In many places agricultural fairs
have been diverted from their legiti-
mate purposes and turned into mere
circus combinations. In some places
the evils connected with the latter have
grown to be intolerable. Fakirs work
all sorts of fraudulent schemes, disrep-
utable showmen give exhibitions that
are grossly immoral, and gamblers run
swindling games openly. Such things
eventually kill the fair and drive the
agricultural society out Of existence.
AS an example Of the true kind take
that of the Valley Fair Association of
Vermont. 1t has given twelve annual
fairs, and the last one was even a great
er success than ever before. This fair
Is patronized by the best people Of the
Connecticut Valley, and the attendance
last fall was 5000 the first day and
$4,000 the second. The treasurer Of the
society, Mr.. Estey, says: 'We started
in with capital of $4,000, with whic,.
we bought our grounds, and COM
menced the buildings for the accommo-
dation of horses, cattle, sheep, swine,
poultry, farm products, agricultural and
mechanical implements, ETC., ETC., and
we now have a property that has cost
US $25, ,OO0-and all but the original cap
ital stock has been made from the fairs.
We have never failed to add goodly
sum each year to the property from
the profits made. We started out with
the avowed purpose Of never permitting
any fakirs Of any kind on the ground,
no pool-selling, no games Of chance, but
a legitimate agricultural fair. Our dis
play this year in all departments was
said by people who have attended a
large number of fairs to equal If not
surpass anything they had seen. We
have adhered strictly to our rules, and
am confident that all our managers
believe that it is far more profitable.

tobacco to the amount of 83,548,984
