The following items concerning mines
and mining of the West should prove
generally interesting:
NEW MINES FOUND.
San Diego Union: The mineral dis
covery recently made by L. L. Hill and
w. L. Wilhite near Valley Center, near
Bear Valley, is attracting more atten-
tion among mining men than anything
that has been brought to light in San
Diego County for years. AS exclusively
reported in the Union a few days
ago, the ore is the best for smelling
purposes that has been uncovered in
this extreme corner of the southwest,
containing II per cent. of lead, 8 ounces
of silver and So in gold to the ton.
The lead is worth SO and the silver
SO to the ton, making the ore worth
$33 a ton.
The presence of the lead, of which
there is said to be a very large deposit
at Valley Center, gives the ore it's real
ly high value, and makes it available
as a smelling ore for not only itself,
but all other ores requiring a flux.
Mining men are of the opinion that
White and Hill's discovery promises
to result in great benefit not only to
the owners but to mining interests
generally in this section.
Two San Francisco mining men who
were in Los Angeles when they read
the report in the Union" concerning
the discovery at Valley Center, came on
TO this city, and after comforting with
G. G. Robbins, who made an assay Of
the new ore, proceeded to Valley Center
for the purpose of examining the mine.
They appreciate the value of the dis
covery of the ore. if IL is as represented,
and will probably make White ana
Hill an offer for the property. Mr.
Robbins has also received numerous in
Quiries regarding the ore, from parties
interested in having a smelter estab-
lished on San Diego Bay.
The mine owners of this county are
not the only ones who would like to
see a smelter at this port. Arizona
mining men have often expressed the
opinion that a railroad from the ter
ritory to this city would be more prob
able if there was a smelter here for
treatment of their ores. 1t will be
strange il the valuable deposit uncover
ed by White and Hill does not hasten
the establishment of a smelter
Gold dust and bullion to the value of
$1,000 was brought up from Ensenada
yesterday on the steamer st. Denis, and
proves that mining is active in the hills
back of the peninsular Capital. Most
OF the gold came from Jacalitos, where

VITAL STATISTICS.
Important Work of the II. S. Chief
Statistician.

Physicians and students of mortality
statistics will be interested in learning
of the work now being accomplished by
the Chief Statistician of Vital Statistics
Of the United States Census, by the
authority of the Director, Hon William
r. Merriam. 1t is a practical effort,
necessarily of limited scope, to secure
the adoption of a uniform certificate
for the return of deaths and looking
toward the establishment of a common
national system of collection of vital
statistics for the purpose, primarily, of
the census tables and publications.
Correspondence has been had by the
Chief Statistician, William A. King,
with the officers in charge of mortality
registration in the States employing
such a system, and in the cities having
a population of 5000 and more at the
last census which also collect and reg
lister death returns. Complete and ac-
curate information of the different
methods in vogue has been obtained,
and it was found that there is much
unnecessary and Objectionable varia-
ton, considered from the census point
of view, in the form of official returns.
Having no power to compel co-opera-
tive action, and hampered by want of
time in which to carry out the whole
project, nevertheless the census office
undertook to secure the modification or
amplification of the death certificates
so as to have them include the items
necessary to obtain census data. A
model return form was prepared and
submitted, with explanatory CORES
pondence, to each registration office or
officer controlling the preparation of
the State or local forms.
The result has been more important
and gratifying than even the Census
once expected, as not only have the
items in the specimen form been very
generally adopted, but the registration
officers have abolished many practically
obsolete local variations in their certifi-
Gates, and the latter have been made to
conform to one standard more nearly
than ever before.
The promptness and willingness dis
played by the State and local officers in
complying with the request of the direc-
tor has been surprising as well as graft
tying. The benefit that will result to
the Census Office and to science from
this first step toward the goal of ma
tlonal uniformity is incalculable, but it
Will be seen readily that the study of
the natural law of the growth of the
population is made easier and more Ger
tain.
The Director of the Census confidently
expects that physicians everywhere will
appreciate the desirability of the new
order OF things, and that they will ear
nestIy and actively cooperate in secur-
ing prompt and accurate mortality re-
turns OF the uniform character required
| py Congress and sought for by statis-
tlc1ans. He recognizes the fact that
Ialiure on the part of physicians to
give vitality to the common standard
py carefully reporting the items that
may be new to their certificate will be
1atal to the end in view

cHTTCKAwALLA MINES.

Riverside Enterprise: The Chuck
awalla Mining Company, whose mines
are located in the district of that name
in this county. has just held an an
nual meeting at Los Angeles, when the
following directorate was elected: DR..
j. w Wood and P. E. Hatch of Long
Beach, William T. Ball, r. w. Prid-
ham and FL. l. Seward of Los Angeles.
The company is now erecting on their
property, one of the finest mills in the
State. 1t will be an up-to-date plant
with daily output of twenty-five tons.
The Stephens process will be used.
The company has group of mines
located in the Chuckawalla Mountains
in Riverside County. The most promi-
nent of the group is the Sucker State.
About a thousand feet of development
work has been done, showing a fine
body of ore. The ledge is about eigh-
teen TO twenty feet in width Three
shafts are down over 100 feet each, all
in ore. The pay streak is six feet three
inches wide, averaging SIS gold, and
from > to II per cent. copper to the
ton. The company will have ready for
the mill several hundred tons of ore.

ing the mine at Greenhorn on the Nehr-
bass place, adjoining the Blue Gravel
mine, intend organizing a joint stock
company for working the same, and
has suspended operations until the new
corporation is com0leted. When in
readiness to commence again, the oper-
ations are to be conducted on an ex-
tensive scale, to bottom the bedrock,
with a promising certainty of doing
we'll. The shaft is now sunk down
over 130 feet which indicates that it is
in deep ancient channel, where gold is
generally found in large quantity, the
same as in Klamath River and other
streams throughout the county.
Work is to be started up again on the
cinnabar mine at head of west fork of
Beaver Creek, in the Sislxiyou foothills,
by the Siskiyou Consolidated Quicksil-
yer Mining Company. Mr.. Newcomb has
been at the mine lately, making ar
rangements for starting operations
with some fifteen or more men, This
company has good outfit of apparatus
and retorting works at the mine, and
suspended operations a few years ago,
on account of the low price of quick
silver, which now seems to be advanc-
ing in price.
The ledge at the Golden Star or old
Spencer mine, on Humbug Greek, pros
poets exceedingly rich, but is small,
making expensive work in getting out
the quartz. Hope is entertained by
further development that the ledge will
widen and pay handsomely

mac mine on Humbug, has a rich ledge.
but rather narrow, although widening
as the work of tunneling progresses.
The Redding Free Press says the
sum of $4,000 has been paid upon the
purchase price of the Afterthought
property in Shasta County. That fact
virtually means a sale. William Me-
Dermott of Salt Lake is the man in
whose name the papers are all made
out. James Sallee is the man that made
possible the securing of the After
thought, but it was through III. II.

A MINISTER'S MISTAKE.

A city minister was recently handed a
notice to be read from his pulpit. Accom-
nsnying it was a clipping from news
paper bearing upon the matter. The
clergyman started to read the extract and
found that it began: Take Kemp's Bal
sam. the best Cough Cure This was
hardly what he had expected. and, after
a moments hesitation. he turned it over
and found on the other side the matter
int tended for the reading.

John F. Cowan, as the representative
of the bonders, has paid several visits
to the Afterthought, and kept men at
work under the superintendency of Mr..
Schumacher, and the payment of S10,-

that he thinks well of the property.

A MYSTERIOUS MESSAGE.
CAUSES A PANIC IN THE CARS
HOUSEHOLD.
Sent by Long Distance Telephone and
Threatened the Cars Life-A Dag
ger the Weapon Mentioned. lsl

ST. PETERSBURG, January TO-
Just now the police of st. Petersburg
are all upset by a mysterious telephone
message that recently went over the
line between Moscow and st. Peters,
burg-a telephone line that had been
in operation only about a week. There
was a call from Moscow requesting
communication with the winter palace.
The project of the palace, Count Zirki,
answered the call, but at receiving the
message he retreated from the tele-
phone in terror. In a loud, shrill voice
had come over the wire the threat that
the car was to die by a nihilists dag
ger. Notwithstanding the infrequen-
cy with which the long distance tele-
phine line is used, the police have not
succeeded in discovering who sent the
threatening message. The employee who
was in charge at Moscow positively af-
firms that no one was in the office but
a lady with two or three children.
Another sensational story which has
just become current in Europe was
that an attempt against the life of the
Russian ruler was made when he re-
turned from Copenhagen to Russia
While the imperial train was passing
over a bridge a mass of rubbish was
found piled upon the rails, but the en-

THE COST OF GOLD.
Figures on the Production in the
Yukon Region.

a late bulletin issued by the Bureau
of Labor at Washington has the fol-
lowing:
1T is common assumption among
those acquainted with the uncertain
ties of mining for the precious metals
that every dollars worth of gold eX-
tracted from the earth costs some
body at least 81 in money or labor"
Taking the actual count of 10000 men
who reached the Yukon gold fields
during the year beginning with July
IS, 1897, and the conservative estimate
that 10000 more undertook the jour
'ney but failed to reach the ground.
and estimating the average eXpendi-
ture of these 10000 men for outfit and
transportation at $500 each, and add
ing the money invested in ocean and
river vessels and the organizing and
capitalizing of commercial and min
ing companies, lit may safely be as
sumed that this great movement dur
ing the year following its inception
cost the participants $35,OO0,OOO. 1t is
equally safe to assume that in the
case of rs per cent of the individuals
involved, their contributions are an
absolute loss to them; and ''as
against this enormous outlay we have
for the period under considerations as
indicated by the mint returns, gross
product from the Yukon placers of
less than $12, 100000"

LILLI LEHMAN.

Lilli Lehman, the famed Wagner
singer and prima donna, gave several
vocal recitals in Berlin this season,
and at every one of them she caused
to be distributed among her large and
fashionable audience little petitions,
each bearing her autograph, implor
ing the ladies to stop wearing the
''corpses of little birds" on their hats
and bonnets. This reform is as dear
to her as her voice, and that is saying
great deal. She celebrated a few
days ago her 5Oth birthday, though
she would not be taken to be more
than 35. She probably owes her fresh
and very clear complexion to the fact
that at her suburban home at Grune-
wald she digs, plants and works regu-
larly several hours a day in her gar
den.

SPEAKING CLOCKS.

In Switzerland they have commence
ed making Photographic clocks and
watches, which, it appears, leave any
thing heretofore accomplished far in
the shade. by merely pressing the
button of the new timepiece it pro-
nounces the hour distinctly. Then
the alarms call to the sleeper: ITS
o'clock; get up" There are some
which even add the words, Now don't
go to sleep again" The form can be
changed to suit the buyer, and make
the warning more or less emphatic.
This application of the photographic
principle is due to a French watchma-
ker settled in Geneva. He introduced
into clocks and watches little slips of
vulcanized rubber, on which the desir-
ed words are traced in grooves cor
responding to the hours and fractions
of hours.

Lucy in particular, has given them
much concern. She is fifteen, and from
a strong, healthy girl three years ago,
had become weak and kept falling off
in flesh, until she became a mere skel-
eton. She seemed to have no life at
all. Her blood became impure and fin
ally she became the victim of nervous
prostration. Doctors did not help her.
Most of the time she was confined to
bed, was very nervous and irritable,
and seemed on the verge of st. Vitus'
