Total. .s15 236,03l S5o4,O12 s15,s40,0l3
The silver is given in commercial
value, or amount obtained for it by
producers when sold. In the total for
the year the commercial value of the
silver is 1904, ,0l2, as stated, the coming
value, however, of this total being
81. l06,5 57S. 1t is noted by Mr.. Charles
q. Yale, the statisticisn of the United
States Mint at San Francisco, that,
comparing the totals of gold and silver
with corresponding figures obtained
from the same sources in the year
1898, the gold yield of the State shows
a decrease Of $570, 447, and the silver
yield an increase of S89,957, making a
net decrease from the previous year of
$3.50, 490. but that is very good show
ing in view of the dry season last year,
when so many quartz mines had to
hang up part or all of their stamps for
time. and the water season for gravel
mining was very short indeed. Con-
sidering these conditions, in view of
the fact that the State nearly held it's
own in bullion product, it is seen that
the mining industry is really progress
ing instead of declining in product.
Further analysis by Mr.. Yale shows
that of the total of SIS, $40, 043, the
value of bined gold and silver pro-
duced, the sum of S12. 300, 1873 came
from quartz mines, 81. 12S, 564 from hy-
draulic, $l,0l9, ,955 from drift aud ST,
| 40l, 1856 from placer mines. Included in
the placer output is that derived from
dredges, rlver bed and bar, gulch, ravine
and ordinary placer work by Chinese
and whites. In the returns from quartz
mines are included 1858, TAB gold and
S2O1, 219 silver, derived from copper
mining and smelling operations in Cal
averas, Shasta and San Bernandino
counties. Also included in quartz re-
turns are S5021 gold and $64, $40 silver
| from silverlead mines in the counties OF
Inyo, Mono and San Bernardino.
Thirty counties of California produced
gold, and twenty of these return some
silver product. AS nearly all the
them make no return of silver or re-
port the product as only nominal. :"
Nevada county is still the "banner"
gold-producing county as it has been
for some years, but this year for the
first time Tuolumne county takes sec
ond place, displacing AmadOr county
from that position. AS compared with
the previous year, Calaveras county
shows the largest increase in product.
though Mono county is not far behind
in this respect. The largest decrease
in production is in Placer county, fol-
lowed in order by San Diego and Trim
ity counties.
The returns to tho Mint show the
employment of Is, 701. miners in gold,
silver, lead and copper mines OF the
State, decrease of 1122 as compared

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, April IA. 1900.
Mr.. George A. Gordon, County Su-
perintendent of AmadOr County.
We desire to offer two scholarships in
your county, one to the young lady
and to the young gentleman who will
secure the highest percentage on
examination. This examination is
to be conducted by the County
Board OF Education in any man
ner it may see fit. We suggest
that each teacher in the annual exam
nations which take place in June, Sc
lect the best set of papers of the
ninth or last year of the Grammar De-
partment, or the best in any High
School OF the county, submit those
papers to the County Board, and the
County Board will then select from
them the two best and recommend the
parties to us for the scholarship.
This scholarship is good for six
months course in Chestnutwood' s
business College in either the CONNER
cial or the Typewriting and Short
hand Department. We suggest that
with the preliminary to the annual ex-
uiih"'ioHs' Cnd0 you enclose the ac-
companying circulars.
We do this in order to bring our Col
lege prominently before the Young
ladies and the young gentlemen OF your
county. We do not care ITO influence
any one who expects to take Univer-

to leave school at this time. We
think business course would be of
great benefit to them.
Please give this matter your earnest
consideration, and should you visit
Santa Cruz we will be more than
pleased to show you some of the work
we are doing. Respectfully,
Cox AND JANSON,

The South African War.

Last Saturday evening, April 21st,
in Webb Hall, under the auspices of
Admiral Dewey Lodge, N o. 425, Sons
OF St. George. Fl. Digby Johnston, L..
L. D., late of London, delivered his
lecture entitled ''The South African
War: Its Causes and Probable Conse-
quences' to an appreciative audience.
The able lecturer made out strong
case against the Beers, and from his
standpoint of observation Great Britain
is wholly in the right and fully justi-
fed, under all rules governing 1.-THE
world onward march toward higher
civilization, in, if necessary, wiping the
Beers off the face of the earth, unless
they yield to English rule.
We only have space for one extract
from the lecture, which is as follows:
Jews are!all and absolutely exclud-
ed from the franchise or any participa-
tiOn whatever in the government of
the country. Roman Catholics are also
absolutely excluded. What say you to
that, my Irish friend-you who have
so recently become an admirer of the
BOer? To the Beers you are heath
en-, as are all Jews and all Catholics.
Further the constitution requires that
no person shall hold office under the
government who does not belong to
the Dutch church. 1t allows none but
members of that church to have seats
in the upper branch of the legislature,
which alone possesses any real politi-
cal power. 1t excludes all churches that
don't accept the Heidelberg catechism
and confession of faith. And it forbids
baptism and the Lord S supper to neg.
roes. Remember these are not domino.
tional rules, but the law, the constitu.
tion of the country. And yet there
are Jews and Roman Catholics, and
thousands of men and women who love
religious liberty, who have been delud.
ed into sympathy with this narrow and
bigoted oligarchy. that has strutted
before the world in republican garb.
There is no constitution or form oi
government in the world today less en-
titled to the Republican name. 1t is
the worst form of oligarchy, and is
worse than depotism.
