WHALE IN HIS BACK YARD.
A Memorial of the Great Upheaval n
Los Angeles a Million
Years AFRO.


with pride to a whale so feet long in
his back yard. This privilege belongs
to an East Los Angeles man, reports a
local exchange. Some time ago, while
walking over his property, he noticed
a peculiar white streak which had
weathered out. It looked like chalk, or
as if whitewash had been sprinkled
along the ground and had soaked in.
The owner of the land began to in
vestigate the matter with pick and
shovel. To his. amazement he found
that the streak was made by enormous
bones, which, one by one, were dug out.
They were huge round masses, each
q lift for two men. The bones were
in regular lines and were traced for
80 feet. They were not identified until
q scientific man came along one day,
and, after inspecting them, informed
the owner that they were the verte-
brae of a whale.
This is the sixth or seventh whale dis
covered in the corporate limits of Los
Angeles and there are doubtless many
others still unearthed, and it is evident
that at one time large school, of
whales was trapped on the California
coast. Los Angeles is about II miles
from, the ocean and 5000 feet above
high-water mark; and from the top<of
the hills it can be readily seen how the
cetaceans were entrapped.: Perhaps d
million years ago, more or less, the
Pacific flowed over the present site OF
the town. Here countless whales must
have gathered and paraded up: and
down the coast, as they do to-day.
They wandered far, inland, in all prob
ability over the present Mojave and
Arizona deserts. Finally, without
warning, one of the greatest cata.
clysmsin the history of the world came.
The entire coast was lifted into the
air; mountains assumed shape, and
the dripping kelp-lined rocks, reeking
with the life of the sea, were. lifted with
titanic force. The great inland bays
and estuaries became dry land in an in
slant. Myriads of animals, huge
whales and fishes of all kinds became:
lodged in the mud banks, where they
are found to-day, monuments of the
great upheaval which saw the forma-
tion of the coast range of the Pacific.
From Tia Juana to Santa Barbara
there are evidences which tell the same
story. Now on the slopes of noun
tains, high above the crater, is the old
beach, with its shells, bones and
sharks teeth; and everywhere whale
bones have been found, showing that
scores of these were trapped in the up
heaval. In the San Luis range great
whale skeleton was found in relief sew
eral years ago. In excavating a tun-
mel in the very heart of Los Angeles an
other whale was discovered away be.

BABY'S FINGER NAILS.
r
Mothers Should Take. Care OF Them
IT. They Would Preserve the
Beauty of Darling's Hands.

If the mother would preserve the
beautiful contour and texture of her
baby's soft little hands she cannot be-
gin too early to care for them, AS il
is, however, few girls ever own mani
cure set until they are young women.
By that time, as often as not, the hand
is beyond reclaim. Baby's finger nails
should be trimmed neatly and careful:
ly from very birth. During the. first
year this will be sufficient, but from
that time on the mother will give them
q five minutes treatment at least once
a week: =,
: Any little detached cuticle about the
base of the nails must be trimmed of
from day to day with the tiniest and
brightest manicure scissors obtainab1e
and the flesh about the nail pressed
away from it with a soft, old piece o1
linen. In this way the tender, deli.
cate flesh about the finger tips will
become firm and hard, and the child
will not suffer from that painful afiic.
tion known as hang nails. This, while
commonly. regarded as a most trivial
thing, is, nevertheless, often the caus<
of much graver troubles, ending j,
nervous diseases and blood poisoning
Where a. baby's: nails have been prop
erly trimmed from birth the habit o1
nail biting is never. contracted. Where
it has already been formed, however
the mother can overcome it immedia te,
ly by putting the child through a care.
ful course of treatment. If the nail,
are tough enough to stand the opera
tion, they will be filed instead of cut
with scissors, and at first they will be
kept very short. ..-
Something will be done every day
even if it is only to rub them gently
As. biting the nails is purely nervous
affection, it is. imperative, in aggravat t.
ed cases, to put the child under physi
clans care. If baby should suddenly
display voracious appetite for it's fin
gel. nails, as is often the case even in
infants, you can depend upon it that
something is not right, and the physi
clan will probably tell you that the
food is not agreeing with it. =. 1~.=@.=
Children should be taught from ba,
byhood how to hold the hands graceful
" and naturally while in repose, ani
when using. them to do SO daintily. 2*, :,
Each time, after the hands arr
washed q good plan is for the moth
er or nurse to not only press back thu
flesh about the base of the nail as al
ready described, but to also press thu

years will be the beautiful tapering fin

Of this enormous amount more than one-half of it, as the report states, has been produced since 1860, Improved methods invented since 1860 for the extraction of gold from ores have done more towards increasing the gold production, of the world than have the discovery of new fields, and it is very likely that in this direction there still remains much to be discovered.

COPPER IS THE METAL.
The Cochise Copper Mining Company.
 Bisbee, Arizona.


 This company owns very valuable group of mines situated in warren mining district, county ot Cochlse, Arizona, lying immediately ca or ana adjoining the town of blsDse' ana ad- joining the property of the copper Oueen Consolidated Mining company on the north. The latter company has been in operation tor about eNen,y years, and employs about l,50e mea daily in the operation of it's mammoth mine and smelters, and as a result has produced copper to oEsg 34,0OJ.OOO pounds during the year yS, ana the net proceeds of such production are reported to have been over S2,JOU,O0o and 1t has been said by experienced miners who have been under it's em. pioy for years, that the Queen mins now has sufficient ore in sight to keep if in constant operation for the next twenty years without further de- velopment
 Is it not reasonable to believe that the property of the Cochise company IS fully as valuable, when it is within such close proximity to such a won- derful mine?
 The blasts set off in the underground workings of the Queen property can easily be felt and heard at the Shaft of our mine, and oftimes the concussion has attracted marked attention.
 The original owners of these valu- able mines are local business men, well and favorably known in Bisbee and surrounding vicinity, who are doing their utmost to make this enterpl .se success in every respect The board 0. directors are original owners, and are donating their services to the con- pany until such time as the mine will pay dividends. They own the con- trolling interest in this property, and as a protection to stockholders have placed their entire interest in escrow for a term of one year.
 The stock books of our company are now open for subscriptions, and a lim- tied number of shares are offered at twenty five C. per share No application for less than 100 shares will be &C., cepted.
 The company reserve the right at any time to advance the price of shares without further notice, or to reject any application for stock at their discre- | tion.
 Every cent received from the sale of stock will be expended toward the de- velopment ot our property and the erection of hoisting works, and al! other necessary Improvements, and to make our enterprise success in every particular.
 We invite investigators and their experts or their engineers to closely scrutinize our property. Applications for shares may be made to any of the directors of the com pany, or to any of our legally author ized representatives

Conservative medical men, who have given their lives to the study of children, place the num- Der whose health is shattered by over study at more than fifty thousand each year.
