Governor Pardee has approved OF
drawings for the California building at
the Lewis and Clark Exposition
grounds at Portland, to represent. with
its contents, this State. The law makes
Governor Pardee a commissioner for
. the Portland show, ex-officio. The
California structure that was erected
at the ST. Louis Exposition was sug-
gested by Governor Pardee, and 1t en-
bodied the mission architecture. His
approval was needed to adopt any
building.
Once more Governor Pardee has in
sisted that the California missions
shall be recalled in a State building for
exposition purposes. At ST. Louis the
Santa Barbara Mission was particu-
larly brought to mind. At Portland
suggestions of four missions will be in
corporated in the States representative
structure.
The law passed by the last session
appropriated $4,000 for the preliminary
work for the Portland show. 1t was
foreseen that some work would have to
be performed in advance of the meeting
Of the Legislature this year. Money
was provided and placed at the dis
posal of Governor Pardee as commits
sioner. A part of this has been ex-
pended for plans from Dickey & Reed,
architects. These have found favor
with Governor Pardee.
The size of the structure to be erect
ed at Portland will depend upon the
amount of money the Legislature ap-
prOpriates. The style of building is
fixed. Therefore it can be judged by
the people at this time. The drawings
are on the scale of 200 feet. The four
wings that have been referred to will
be of varying sizes to reproduce, as
nearly as possible, the respective pro-
portions of the Carmel. Dolores San
Luis Rey and Santa Barbara missions.
The general shape Of the State build
ing will be that of cross. The States
exhibits and the executive offices of
those who have charge of the exhibits
will be in one building, which will
stand on the highest point in the Port
land Exposition grounds, so says Com
missioner Filcher, who has been doing
the preliminary work under the direc-
ton of Governor Pardee. There will
be no lack of exhibits to fill all the
space that Is allotted.

POSTUM CEREAL.
THE FRIEND MAKER.
That Does That.

In the nine years Postum Food
Coffee has been on the market it has
made many thousands of stanch
friends, but apparently none better
than the Clerk of Courts at Toledo,
British Honduras, who has sent a list
of names of people in Central and
South America, who now use Postum
in place of coffee, explaining in detail
their cases. He says:
Have much pleasure in writing
you this letter for the good Postum
has done myself and friends in this
district. The attached list of persons
to whom I have recommended Postum
WILL / venture to say give you great
satisfaction. 1 have given the names
and addresses 80 any one can verify
my statement by writing to them"
Gull particulars with names and ad-
dresses will be sent by mail to any
one.) "On the list the persons marked
from / to IL were confirmed tea
drinkers and when I spoke to them
about drinking Postum they laughed
at the idea of giving up tea. But /
insisted on their giving Postum trial
: Defore condemning 1t and went so far
as to give some of them a package.
they all use Postum now and nothing
else.
From No. IL to 10 were coffee
fends, my wife included, and they all
also thought 1t absurd to try to re-
place coffee by any other drink. but
after some persuasion got them to
tIy 1t and now they all use Postum.
: mo. IA, 10 and 16 suffered from
nervous prostration and sleeplessness
when they drank coffee. No. 10, Mr..
Lucas, had been ordered by doctors
not to use tea or coffee and had been
experimenting to find something to
drink. Postum has filled the bill and
now he not only orders 1t for himself
but for sale. Some of these people
did not like Postum at first because
they did not know how to make 1t,
but I invited them to my house and
gave them Postum, making it accord
ing to directions on the package, and
they all found 1t delicious.
Now will tell you how came in
contact with Postum. Mr.. Wells, liv-
ing In Toledo District, mentioned Pos
tum and gave me q package for trial,
he was so sure 1t would help me, as
/ suffered from coffee drinking. From
that time / became a convert and
thought could not do without 1t.

singer, long since deceased.
Old and without means, Mrs. La

may be enabled to do so a number of
German ladies have interested them
selves in her behalf and are trying to
raise the funds necessary to secure
her entrance, for which purpose a
play is to be given by the Alameda
Dramatic Ensemble, an organization
which has given several German plays
very creditably. All the members Of
this troupe, of which Arthur Becker
is the director, volunteer their SER

benevolent purpose mentioned.
The play will consist of a matinee
called "Grossstadtluft," meaning THE

SISOO.OO Ore.

The Imperial Gold Mining & Milling
company operating the Msckey mine in
Apex, cut a cross vein in the east drift
Of the $50 foot level last week and struck
a body OF copper iron which assays from
$4,000 to sls0O0O to the ton in gold and
1900 to the ton in copper. A carload
Of this rich ore sacked is being shipped
to the Argo smelter and returns from
the shipment are expected next week.
This property has been shipping steady
for the past two years, lots OF the ore
running from $1,000 to 5000 per ton.
The strike reported above is the largest
made since the mine has been operated.
Missouri capital is developing the Mack
ey, and NJ. j. Mountz is acting as super
intendent. The mine at present has a
force Of eighteen men at work and it is
very probable that more will be put on.

The After Supper.

The Benzai Mining company, which
purchased the After Supper property
in Black Hawk several months ago have
made shipment Of iron to the Inde-
pendent sampler, consisting of about
four tons. This ore was taken from the
bottom Of the shaft and assays Of sam
Piles show it to run s2slOO to the ton in
gold. 1t is the continuation OF the ore
struck two years ago by leasers who
were working the property at that time.
The four tons shipped few days ago is
the first iron taken out by the company.
They have been shipping for the past
three or four weeks, but this was all
milling ore. At the time the Benzai
people came into possession Of the mine
the shaft was only down a depth of 100
feet, but they have sunk it about % feet
deeper and intend to continue sinking
until they reach a depth OF $50 feet
Then they will commence drifting and
stopping. The Benzai, in years past
when leasers had charge, was fine pro.
ducer, and judging from the assays made
several days ago Of samples OF the ore it
will exceed its former record.

Several improvements have been made
at the Independent Sampler at Black
Hawk the past week which neccessitated
the closing down Of the plant Tuesday
morning. The changes made in the
machinery include new setof rolls and
a Vein automatic sampler and after
everything is in readiness and operations
at the plant have been resumed the
capacity OF the sampler will be much
larger than before. The new equipment
will be in position by this afternoon, so
Mr.. Allen informed an Observer repor-

mence at once. About $50 tons OF ore
have accumulated during the shutdown
which will keep the sampler busy for

At the Pewabic

Last week, several parties who are in
terested in the Pewabic mine visited the
property and inspected the workings.
Several lots of ore were assayed and
some OF the ore showed high values, the
lowest being $500 to the ton, while the
other ran s77OO, s92 90 and s132 CO..
The highest showing made was from
samples taken between the second and
third levels. This ore was exceedingly
rich in gold, running $4,000 to the ton.
Shipping will commence at the Pewa-
bic within few days. as soon as the
tramway can extend the siding to the
shaft house. There are 120 tons of ore
on hand for treatment, which has ac-
cumulated while the spur from the main
track to the mine has been in the course
OF construction. Among the numerous
improvements made lately at the Pewa-
bic has been the installation of an cleo
trio lighting plant for the purpose of
illuminating the shaft house.

The Russsll.

The Russell mine, owned and operated
by the Russell Mining company, situated
In the upper end of Russell gulch, has
been closed down temporarily. The ma
chinery in this mine is at present made
quats for the hosting of the ore and the
company has decided to close down for
two or three weeks, when a new and
larger plant will be installed. This does
not include the leasers, as they will still
continue to work the mine, but develop
ment work will cease for a short time.
The Russell has been a good producer
and in the past couple OF weeks fine
body OF ore has been uncovered which
shows values of $4,000 per ton. and there
is plenty in sight, while in shaft No.
the ore runs $500 to the ton. This is
also new body opened up, and promises
to increase with development.
The West Pewabic also belongs to
this group and is reported to have pro-
duced 5000 in the past three months,
with about GO, tons Of ore to receive re-
turns from, which will bring it up to
about 5000. This mine is only down a
short distance and has been worked
with a whim, which is a splendid show
ing. These mines are managed by Mr..
Paxton, and mostly through his efforts
have become dividend paying properties.
