The California State Mining Bureau,
under the direction of state mineralo-
gist Aubury has just placed in the
hands of the state printer a compila-
tion of the output of each of the min
eralized counties in the state for the
period from 1900 to the end of 1907.
which shows principally the gold,
copper and petroleum produced,
though in some instances structural
su distances play large part in coun-
ties having brick and pottery clay,
building materials and cement. This
compilation shows a total output tor
the eight years of 1929, l2S, $50.
Shasta county is given the leading
mineral output for the period in
dictated, with 500, 55O,922 to her
credit, and other counties ranking in
the following order Kern, S34, 1853, S8S ;

Santa Barbara $40, l43, 1888, and the
remaining counties from S700, 900

There was considerable excitement
at the Family vaudeville theater last
evening after the evening perform
ances, when it was learned that S. A.
Lewinsohn had left the theater-with-
out making arrangements for paying
the performers or the employees of the
house. He left after the first perform

an engagement, and would be back. He
had not returned this afternoon, and
his whereabouts, are unknown.

due them from the management. Sew

Fully a third of the loss was caused
by the water used to fight the flames.
At OppOrtune Time.
The fire, just before the reorganiza.
ton of the council and before the
annual appropriations have been made,
occurs at a comparatively fortunate
time. There have been plans before
the council for several years for the
remodeling of the city hall. and it is
possible that when the necessary re-
pairs are made the city administration
will see fit to add another story to
the structure and make other contem-
plated changes in the arrangement of
the building.
Increasing the revenue from the sa-
loon licenses would provide one
means of meeting the expense neces-
STATED by such plan, above the
amount of the insurance involved.
The regular meeting of the council
will be held this evening in the coun-
Gil room, and the $1,000 saloon license
ordinance will be up for adoption.

originated from a charcoal lamp used

at work making repairs in the cornice

manner one of the men set fire to the

the flames were discovered, and the

parts of the roof, and into the four

The chief business of interest be-
fore the city council tonight will in
volve action on the twin ordinances
looking to restriction and regulation
of the saloon business of Rock Island.
One seeks to cut down the number of
saloon licenses in Rock Island to a
basis of one to every 500 population.
The other seeks to cut the saloons
down and regulate them by means of
a $1,000 license.
Have Been Much Discussed.
The two ordinances have furnished
the subject of much discussion during
the past week, and abundant opportun-
ity has thus been afforded for the crys-
talization of public sentiment. 1t is
practically all one way. the opposition
coming almost entirely from the Ii
quor interests themselves.
The outcome of the vote of the coun-
Gil is naturally awaited not only with
sincere interest, but much concern.
-.-.,g Other Pending Legislation.
The new theater ordinances are also
likely to come up. There is much diff
ference of opinion concerning them, and
all sides arerlikely to be heard.
The electrical ordinance may also
receive attention.
