No More Hasty Marriages In California

On and after May IT, the bride must accompany the bridegroom to the county clerks office to get the marriage license. The last legislature passed a new law, effective on May l7, that will make it necessary for both parties to the contemplated marriage to appear. At present the man or woman alone can procure the license, without taking along "tlte fairest of her sex" or "the bravest of the brave." }l
 To avoid this inconvenience and em- barrassment-not to say hardship-to prospective brides, the men are now laying in a supply of marriage licenses under the old law for use under the new.
 The vexing part of the new law says: "For the purpose of ascertaining all the facts mentioned and required in this section, the clerk must at the time the license is applied for examine the par ties to whom the license is to be issued under oath and reduce such examination to writing to be used by them sub- scribed."
 The new law also requires exact ages from both parties under oath. All that is necessary now is for the applicant to swear that both are of proper age. To many people this return to exact ages is more terrible than the provision that drags the blushing bride elect before the clerk.
 Another departure of the new law IS anti-saloon in character, as follows: "No license must be granted when either of the parties applicant therefore, at the time of making application for said license is under the influence of any liquor"

Deserts rIineral Wealth

 the Colorado desert, where the foot of man, perhaps, has never before trodden there has just been discovered d vast store of yellow wealth. It is not gold but it is mineral which can readily be turned into gold namely, sulphur.
 About eight years ago John F. Schwartz, now treasurer of the county of San Diego, together with a partner was prospecting on the desert, many miles from human habitation.
 The nearest semblance to house was the ruined old adobe stage station on the Carssa creek trail and the nearest bace of supplies was Yuma, for I'm. perial and it's surrounding towns were not then in existence. The two men came across ledge of sulphur which promised well and they filed mining locations. There being no railway facii- ties within sixty miles, they saw no prospect of developing the claims and they omitted to do the annual work required by the federal law, hence the claims lapsed. So desolate is the neigh dorhood, however, they did not expect anybody would relocate the claims. It is northeast of Coyote Wells and south east of the old adobe.
 MT. Schwartz learning that the line of the San Diego Eastern survey, which now seems on the point of developing a his sulphur deposits, commenced to think that he had better relocate the claims. A few weeks ago he decided to do so and laid the matter befor his friends. B. E. Shaffer, Charles Gordon, Charles H. Swallow all of this city, and J. C.. Ferguson of Ramona. They agreed to develop the claims at the earliest oppor- tunlty. MT. Ferguson was delegated to go to the desert, equipped with full data, his instructions being to disregard the lodges, which at best go but fifteen feet deep with sulphur being the residum of volcanic fumes, and to find the crater of the old volcano.
 Mir. Ferguson after ten days search returned and announced that he had found the crater. He brought with him specimens of the surface rock, one of which may be seen at the county treas- urer's office. It assays 55 to 65 per cent sulphur and is so impregnated that it will take fire readily. The deeper into the crater the mining goes, the more nearly pure is the sulphur. It is be- lieved that at depth of 75 feet a tunnel will cut deposit of sulphur commer- cially pure.
 The crater is 200 feet in diameter. It has cone at the bottom, where the lava once spouted. MT. Ferguson locat- ed six claims to be known respectively as "Crater Nos. l, 2, 3, 4, 5, and G."
 The locators think they have found a good thing. Sulphur used on the Pacific coast is brought from Japan, for the most part. It commands in the market from $2O to $22 per ton. IL can be reduced from the rock at very little cost, the ap- paratus consisting simply of large iron pan, sloping to a reservoir and heated from beneath. The fire heats the rock and melts the sulphur which runs down into the reservoir.-San Diego Union.

Maddened by jealousy because the af-
fections of his young masters had been
usurped by a pony, an English bulldog
attacked the horse in the stable OF At
torney r. q Perkins yesterday, and in
the battle which followed the pony was
so badly injured it viii probably have
to be shot.
For some time the bulldog had been
q special pet of Mr.. Perkins children.
Mr. Perkins last Wednesday secured Il
beautiful young pony for the children,
and they at once forsook the dog, trans
ferring their affections to the pony.
They put in all their leisure time about
the stable petting the pony and feeding
it apples and other delicacies. Mean
while the dog became sullen and snapped
at the pony's heels at every oppor-
tunity.
Finally the dog succeeded in gaining
access to the pony's stall yesterday while
the coachman was out, and made a
feroeious attack upon the horse. In
agony from pain, the pony succeeded
iii breaking its halter and rushed from
the stable, closely followed by the dog,
which kept biting his rival at almost
tsti jump. Inv Pohy t"At out upOu
Penn avenue bleeding from several
wounds and almost mad from pain.
Before he had gone far the dog reached
him again, and making wild leap
caught the pony by the throat.
Several men passing at the time ran
to the assistance Of the coachman, who
had followed the animals, and a desper-
ate struggle ensued to release the dogs
hold upon the pony's throat. The men
pulled and dubbed the dog almost to
death before he relaxed his jaws. The
dog was carried back 10 the stable and
safely chained. Although a valuable
animal, he win be shipped away from
the Perkins home today. Meanwhile
the children are in tears over the affair,
as they viii probably lose both their
pets. Pittsburg Post,

Mr.. Pelkey, was bitten but once, while
the coon was all chewed up The coon
