With the closing Of the Corcoran School

ton is drawing to a close, and many OF
the painters are leaving for summer
homes. where they hope to accomplish
wonders In outdoor work. This high hope
fulness is characteristic Of the artistic
temperament
Each night I fall asleep dreaming OF
what I shall accomplish on the morrow.
Continued failure never blights my
hopes.r said a noted American sculptor.
Without this buoyant enthusiasm and
belief in the possibilities Of ones efforts
there could be no great art. Doubtless
few of the Washington artists will ac-
complish what they are now planning.

Dill IN CALIFORNIA
IS THE CHIEF FUEL
Coal Mining Industry Has
Dwindled to Mere Shadow
as a Consequence.

California coal mines annually produce
only 10000 TONS but the state consumes
each year IN fuel of the equivalent Of
l5O0,0 600 tons and according TO q bulle-
tin issued by the United States geoogt-
cal survey there is no effort to develop
coal mining on account of the easier
availability of the oil fuel.
On account OF the large production OF
petroleum and Its use for fuel. coal min
Ing has practically ceased in that state,
the production In the last two years be-
ing only l0.747 tons In 1911 and 10,97S
tons In 1912. says Edward W. Parker,
OF the geological survey.
The production of petroleum I'm Call
fornia In 1912 was So 450. 1877 barrels, of
which not less than $4,000, 900 barrels was
OF oil are also used in place of coal for
gas making, and on the estimate that
three and one-half barrels OF petroleum
is equivalent to one ton of ordinary BIZ
J. 400 600 to 500 600 tons OF coal would
be required to perform In California the
service now rendered by, petroleum In
the production of heat. light. and power
California oil is the principal fuel for
locomotives as far north as Washington
ana across the Sierra and the Cascade
ranges. It's freedom from sparks serving
as great protection against forest fires
as compared with coal or wool fuel. IT
is used almost exclusively on inland and
coastWise steamers and TO an increasing
extent by the trans Pacific steamers IT
has even displaced coal on Puget sound,
many Of the steamers OF the Canadian
Pacific fleet plying between Vancouver,
Victoria and other points having been
equipped for oil burning. There is still,
however. some demand for coal in CAL
ifornla, particularly for domestic use and
for bunker trade at San Francisco. but
II Is almost exclusively supplied by Goals
from other states and from abroad.
There are. however, In California 6,
number OF small, widely separated coal
fields. chief among which are the Mount
Diabo field of Contra Costa county, the
Corral hollow field OF Alameda county.
the Priest valley and Trafton fields OF
San Bento county, and the Stone can
yon field of Monterey county. The first
two. which are on the eastern border Of
San Francisco bay and consequently In
the west-central part Of the state, pro-
duce black Ignite or sub -bitumlnous coal.
The Goals In Monterey county are OF the
same geologic age as those farther north,
but they have been altered into true bl-
luminous Goals. The alteration in the
San Benito county areas has not pro-
gressed so far In Monterey county. but
the Goals closely approach the bitumin-
Gus grade. None Of them possess coking
qualities.

On Saturday Iron Blossom will pay Its
fourth dividend for this year the amount

will still remain In tho treasury a sur
plus OF $3.50 600.
Directors OF the company will hold n

addition to this, the matter OF dlstribut-
ing a holiday dividend of Sl00. 600 will

made such an extra distribution. amount

There IS likelihood that the dividend to-

that tho profits achieved will reach $780,
