interests of the institution but for political purposes
From the day when he entered upon his office and
threw aside the mask he had worn during the cam
paign before the people, Gage has been not only an
open but a shameless supporter OF the worst prac-
tices of politics. Almost every appointment he has
made has been either scandal in itself the cause OF
one When he has not appointed embezzlers to posi-
tons OF public trust he has appointed persons hardly
more worthy His object appears to be to advance
the Burns push and the railroad gang
The appointments by which the welfare of so i'm
porant an institution as the State Normal School
San Jose has been subordnated to machine politics
constitute of the grossest outrages upon edu
cational system that could be possibly perpetrated
That it has resulted in Immediate scandal is per-
haps not altogether to be depored, since the charges
made against the principal to direct public
attention to the in which the Gage Trustees
have entered upon their work OF using the school for
political purposes
From what the Governor has done with regard to
the Normal School, it is evident that no institution
OF the State is considered by him to be unfit place
Tor the display of his political favortsm and his devo
ton to the Burns machine 1t is fortunate, therefore,
that comparatively few vacancies have occurred in
the Board of Regents of the State University for him
to fill. He would have used the university as he has
used the San Jose Normal School The presi-
dent OF the institution would have been the choice of
Burns politicians and his selection scandal to
backen the reputation of the State and seriously
njure the university itself
Gage has taken of his friends. All the members
OF his Los Angeles law Office from his partner to the
janitor, have been provided with "so snaps" and
good salaries at the expense OF the taxpayers He has
taken OF the Burns push and OF the railroad To
their demands he has sacrificed everything Not only
the Offices which have been long regarded the
spos of politics have been placed the disposal of
the machine, bue is seen, the great educa-
tional institutions of the State have also been sub
mitted to it as a part Of the plunder.
1t has been the desire OF the people of California
that the public educational system from the primary
schools to the university should be kept free from
the manipulation OF machine politicians. Gage has
wantonly and dehanty affronted that sentiment The
scandalous jobbery that we'll nigh wrecked the San
Jose High School has hardly passed from the public
mind, and now Gage turns to the gang that
made that high school part OF the spoils of politics
the control of the State Normal School There is no
telling to what extent Gage may yet go in his sub
servience to Burns the railroad and the political ma
chine which they manage and it is therefore by no
means to be regretted that open scandal has oc-
Cured to call public attention his unscrupulous and
shameless course.

ton with the Melones mine was told in
New York by President Douglass and
1nsftute of Mni9g Engnee %
that over 200 members of the institute
would doubtless attend the annual meet
ing in San Francisco in September. The
total number of visitors will probably
reach a thousand, and among them will
be several prominent foreign mining
engineers.
One of the interesting old mines being
resuscitated is the Valley View copper
mine in Placer County, better known as
the ''Whiskey Diggins' mine In past
years three quartz mills have been erect
ed at the mine and removed A San Fran
cisco company is now developing the
property for copper and gold, with good
prospects. According to reliable state
ments this property and adjoining ledges
contain greater variety of minerals
than perhaps any other one locality
post. Besides gold, silver, copper, zinc
and other ores there are many other in
teresting minerals, including molybdenum
and tourmalfne
Agents of the mines in trouble with
strikers at Wallace and Wardner, Idaho,
have been trying with small success to
of the strikers. Special efforts have been
made along the mother lode and at Iron
Mountain to secure men, but California
provides plenty of work for any compe-
tent miner now and the job offered naS
no attractions anyway.
The American River, near Folsom, is
have secured 100 acres and are prospecting
other properties. They will put in the
biggest and best dredge obtainable and
more are contemplated
A Boston syndicate represented by G.
D. Calvin has bonded for development
nine copper and gold claims on squaw
Creek, six miles from Kennel, Shasta
County. Much money will be spent in
the development operations. Many other
similar operations are in progress through
that promising region.
A $4,000 pocket gave local fame to the
O'Hara claim at Browns Flat, Tuolumne
County. last week One chunk of gold
weighed two pounds.
The Pennsylvania mine of Grass VAL
ley, as a result of a new 10-stamp mill and
good ore, has declared its thirtieth month
ly dividend of 10000. or 20 cents ner
share four times the amount that has
been declared regularly. The stockhold-
ers paid $500 in assessments before div
idends arrived, and the last dividend
made the cash returns to date equal the
assessments. Now they have a good mine
and a good income. That is what Califor
mia mines can do when money is invested
wisely.
A number of copper properties have
been sold or bonded during the week.

The general prospects of the mining fea-
ture Of California's exhibit at the Paris
Exposition next year were described on
Saturday by E. w. Runyon. president of
the California commission, who recently
returned from visit of inquiry to the
East. 1t is now certain that the ideas
concerning large and striking display of
California's mineral resources and indus
try which have from the start filled
the minds of the enterprising mining men
concerned with the general welfare of the
industry, must be greatly circumscribed.
Owing to the comparatively small amount
Of space obtainable the display must be
small and the efforts of those interested
IN its success must be directed to making
1t varied, rich and attractive and to the
effective advertising of the California
mining field in connection with the dis
play.
Mr.. Runyon learned that the whole CAL
ifornia exhibit cannot be punched in one
place. According to the will of the ex-
position authorities in Paris the United
States exhibits must be shown, according
to prescribed classification, in special
buildings or departments devoted to this
and that industry or interest California's
display must be divided up accordingly
and occupy the space in each United
States collection awarded by Commits
sioner Peck and his department chiefs.
Mr.. Peck appears to have appreciated the
Importance of the mining industry in this
country, which produces nearly $500 900 900
worth of mineral products yearly, and he
has made special efforts to secure as largo
an amount of space for it as possible. The
United States exhibit will be placed to-
gether in the big Mining building. Pre-
liminary diagrams secured by Mr.. Runyon
show that the United States has been
given an area of unstated dimensions,
