In 1896 there were seven counties of the State that produced over a mIulon dol lars, and one of these yieIded over two millions. In 1897 there were but six mill lion dollar counties. and none of them reached the two million mark. Nevada County, which held the place of honor in 1896 in bullion product. still maintains ty, which ranked Mo- in 1896, takes sec ond place this year, displacing Placer, which is now third on the list. Calaveras which was third, is now fourth in rank Amador also drops back one place. being now fifth instead of fourth. Trinity which was fifth last year, is sixth, in 1897 holding the place Siskiyou did the previous year. the latter county dropping out of the list of million dollar producers for the time at least.
 InveStigat tion has been made into the origin of bullion, whether from alluvial washings or veins. It is found that vein mining very greatly leads not only one but all forms of gold washing combined
 The figures of California in 1897 are as follows:
 Quartz mining. $11 99O 13O: surface placers. $2.379 ,914; hydraulic mines, S1 ,351 : 0SS. and drift mines. $1. .203, ,05S In the quartz total is included the silver output of $452. .7S9, commercial value. From cop per ores included in the quartz column the product of gold was s149 406 and of sil- yer $95 BPS. From silver-lead ores, mainly in Inyo and Mono counties, the gold prod uct was $44,S01 and the silver $54 100.
 Figures collected by the Mint also show approximately the number of men en- gagged in precious metal mining in the State for the year 1897. The number given is 16,7S3, as compared with 16790 in the previous year.

This Weeks Wasp.

The Wasp appears this week in a new and attractive cover with over twenty pages replete with interesting reading
 and attractive and timely cartoons and H. lustrations. The cover is exceptionally original and characteristic of the paper. The cartoons, of which there are num- Der, are all well drawn and clever in con
 ception. One depicts the statue of Queen Isabella and Columbus in the State Capi- tol animated with fear at the terrible warlike appearance of Governor Budd. Mayor Phelan and Auditor Frederick are the central figures in another cartoon re- lating to the recent dedication of the late Treasurer Widber. The proposed alliance of England and America and the results to the United States of such a step is happily caricatured. The Old Maid S Diary relates entertainingly about the latest feminine fad. The musical criti- cisms by Professor R. A. Lucchesi will be read with considerable interest. In the Social Side Lights" Paul Pry relates a story of a millionaire who sold his moth- CTS tombstone The Professor in Under the X Ray" treats of some literary cater pillars who try to flutter on borrowed wings. Altogether this weeks issue of the Wasp is an exceptionally attractive and interesting number.

SHOULD BE
 ORGANIZED.
Dr., Lane Believes Much Suf= fePin9 Can Be Prevented
 by the Red Cross.

''I believe a great and noble and good work can be done by the organization of a Red Cross League and Sanitary Com missiOn,' said pr. Lane, the president of the Cooper Medical College and the Lane Hospital, yesterday. Such an organiza- ton, in time of war, is greatly needed and it can be of the greatest utility.
 ''I have spent three years in the tropics on board a man-ofwar and have eXperi- enced the unhealthful climatic conditions that prevail in and about Cuba at this time of the year. l do not believe young women should be permitted to face the insidious dangers of that region during the disease season. The weather is very trying and strangers are almost sure to be disabled by levers. Even on ship board it is impossible to keep from in- lection, and on the vessel 1 was on, even though the greatest precaution was ta- ken, We had many cases of fever to care for. If Cuba should be invaded by Amer ican forces l do not believe the soldiers who are attacked by the levers will be allowed to remain there. It is only a few hours run to the more hospitable be the policy of the army sanitary corps to establish hospitals along the Atlantic seaboard, where they will be easily reached, and all sick will be taken to them by hospital ships as soon as 1t is possible to get them away from the in fected districts. In those hospitals there will be much need for trained nurses, both men and women, and 1t Is well to Do prepared by organization.
 1t will be the duty of the Government to care for the hospitals, but many skilled and trained nurses will be re- quired and it is good idea of the Red Cross League to have corps of them ready to be sent wherever they may be needed at the command of the med1- cal department of the army. Those nurses, should they be called, should go well equipped, and while they are in ser, vice they should be properly provided for. That can best be done through the channels of the Red Cross League. The Sanitary Commission should be ready to furnish needed supplies for the hospitals should the equipment from the Govern ment prove inaden1afa inSnfficienf-' -'

0 HE public schools are preparing
 to be mustered into the Red
 Cross army.
 Yesterday a number of the
 principals of the high schools and grammar schools were in consul tation with their teachers as to the wisest plan of securing that which all agree is a natural and desirable end the cooperation of the school children of San Francisco with the Sanitary Commission and Red Cross League. As a principal in charge of one of the best disciplined schools in the city said yesterday, Tt is at once a lesson in patriotism and in altruism, to be permitted to work for the comfort Of our men who have gone to the front.
 The question that is being agitated in the School Department is, How can the best and fullest results be secured without distracting the attention of the children from their studies" When this problem has been solved the school children of San Francisco will raise the banner of the Red Cross and enlist in body. Some of those in charge of schools, however, are already preparing to coin into a Red Cross fund the talents of the gifted young Americans whose ardor requires the conservative rein of maturer years to prevent war talk and love of country from occupying all their time and thoughts.
 It Is an interesting sight these days to watch the Salute to the Flag, " which only six months ago was ren- dered by the older pupils in a rather perfunctory manner. Nowadays, though. every morning while the schoolyards are crowded, just as the boys and girls are standing ready to enter upon their days work, the flag runs out along the pole. From six to eight hundred bright faces are turned upward to watch the stars and stripes stream out upon the morning air, as many eager hands are raised in salute, and from the hundreds of youthful voices comes the loyal chorus:
 T pledge allegiance to my flag and to the republic for which it stands; one country, one people, one flag"
 It requires only intelligent direction to transform each and every one of these earnest young patriots into quite as enthusiastic auXiiaries of the Red . Cross League.

MISSION ROWDIES IN JAIL. A Gang of Toughs Make a Brutal
 Assault on a Scavenger.

A gang of Mission toughs assaulted an old scavenger named John B. Rappo at Twenty-sixth and Valencia streets last night about o'clock.
 The old mans cries for help attracted the attention of Officers c. T. Merchant and F. Thomson, who hastened to the scene. On their arrival the gang broke and ran away. The officers succeeded in capturing John Tyrrell and Thomas Stanton. Tyrrell showed fight to the off, cers, but was speedily silenced by the ap- plication, of a club which came in con slit in Tyrrelps cranium, which was brought to by the use of a needle and thread in the City and County Hospital where he was taken for treatment
 Both prisoners were booked at the Seventeenth-street station on the charges of battery and vulgar language
