Secretary of State foster has announced that an entirely cordial and mutually satisfactory settlement has been reached between the United States and Chile respecting indemnity on account of the assault upon the crew of the cruiser Baltimore. The Chilean Government has placed at the disposal of Minister Egan the sum of $75,000 in gold, to be distributed among the families of the two seamen who lost their lives and the surviving members of the crew who were wounded. Work has begun on the Pine Ridge flume at Freeso and several hundred laborers are on the ground. It is expected to build one mile per week. The time will be the largest in California, although not the longest. It will double and flatten and pushing to and fro, the old-timers, with their record of many voyages, look on in amusing disgust, and wonder why some people can make such a fuss about such a little thing as going abroad. A fortune, too, is spent on flowers. Huge baskets, set pieces, wreathes, boquets, and cut flowers ad infinitum cover the tables of "Social Hall," and make the already close atmosphere heavier and more unbearable yet by their sweet perfumes. To me this floral extravagance means a ridiculous waste of money. In a day they have wilted and drooped, and are thrown overboard. Here comes an excited group up the companionway. You hear a confused jumble between man and woman about keys left on her bureau, and you are conscious she has left the keys of her steamer trunk behind. The man fairly shoots down the gangway, leaps into the nearest cab, and begins a wild drive for those keys. Meanwhile the woman haunts the entrance to the gangway, and five minutes after the man is gone she finds the missing key securely stowed away in her pocket-book. Her troubles of going abroad are beginning early. Now that ponderous whittle deafens the ears of all on board. There are final tears and smiles and embracings, a rush down the gangway by the well-dressed mob, and then some climb on the near-by cases or gather on the outer end of the dock to catch the last glimpse of the ship. Handkerchiefs are tied to canes and parasols; there is much cheering and last farewells. One young man calls out in a stentorian voice, "Give my love to Mary!" whereafter there are cheers and laughter. And now at the far end of the dock there is a rattle and rumble, and two cabs come tearing along—one contains a belated passenger, who has just time to scramble on board; the other man who went after the key. And as the lady holds up the missing article, a conciliatory smile upon her face, that man sinks back upon a bale of goods, looking unutterable things. The key to the situation is plain to everybody. Now the "planks" are down, and slowly and silently the huge black ship, that seems so high out of water that she looks like a great warehouse afloat, backs out of her dock, and is soon in mid-stream. Slowly yet she swings around and finally squares away. ALL WORK CAREFULLY Repaired Warranted pp. Commercial Hotel.

The Chilean Government has placed at the disposal of Minister Egan the sum of $75,000 in gold, to be distributed among the families of the two seamen who lost their lives and the surviving members of the crew who were wounded. Work has begun on the Pine Ridge flume at Fresno and several hundred laborers are on the ground. It is expected to build one mile per week. The time will be the largest in California, although not the longest. It will be double, one part for floating lumber and the other part for carrying water for irrigation. By means of the flume it is expected to irrigate 40,000 acres of land northeast of Fresno City. Some boys have just won renown in a boat race on the canal at Fresno. For boats they used collisions which thy parloined from the Chinese graveyard. The Chinese recently exhumed some of their dead and left the coffins by the open traves, where the boys found them and carved them off to the canal. Dead Sea Fruits. They slay multitudes when they are the product of neglect of incipient disease. A "slight" cold, a fit of indigestion, billowness or constipation each or any of these "minor aliments" advance in many cases with "league-destroying strides." Give them a swift, early defeat with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters and add the danger. Aberneth administered an alarming rebuke to the man who informed him that he had "only a cold" "Only a cold," repeated the doctor, "What would ye have—the plague?" Rheumatism and a grippe we easily extinguished at the start. Why then allow them to get up a full head of steam? Put on the brakes with the Bitters. The general warmth which this superb medicine diffuses through the system, so impatient it gives the circulation of the blood, its soothing and strengthening effect upon them nervous, specially recommend it to the enfeebled sick.

A sailing day at the docks of any of our huge ocean-going boats is an interesting and amusing occasion. The dock itself is nothing more than a long shid stretching out several hundred feet into the river, with two offices, one on either side, and littered all over with casks, bales, and cases of merchandise, either uncalled for by the last steamer or in waiting for the next out going vessel. And the haggager! It comes down out in a stentorian voice, "Give my love to Mary!" whereat there are cheers and laughter. And now at the far end of the dock there is a rattle and rumble, and two cabs come tearing along—one contains a boiled passenger, who has just time to scramble on board; the other man who went after the key. And as the lady holds up the missing article, a conciliatory smile upon her face, that man sinks back upon a bale of goods, looking unutterable things. The key to the situation is plain to everybody. Now the "planks" are down, and slowly and silently the huge black ship, that seems so high out of water that she looks like a great warehouse afloat, backs out of her dock, and is soon in mid-stream. Slowly yet she swings around, and finally squares away, her nose pointing for the Narrows. A moment she seems to hang, and to be taken about by the tide, then forges ahead. The flag is dipped, then hauled down from the flag-pole on the dock, and those on board are at last going abroad. Real Estate Transfers.

Early in the season it was manifest that while the prospects for a large fruit crop, especially of prunes and apricots, were not as good as in former years, the commercial value would be greater. The old surplus of dried and canned fruits had largely disappeared. Two years ago California fruit-growers were greatly helped by the falling-off of the fruit product of the Eastern States. Peaches especially were a failure. A similar condition is reported to exist this year, but not so great a degree. The result has been even more than was foreshadowed early in the season. Contractors in this State have recently doubled their offers for apricots and prunes. Buyers began early in the season by offering the prices of a year ago. Some contracts were made at these low figures, especially by the local cannerer. Some fruit-growers did not see their way to wait for a possible better market. They noted last year that prices weakened later in the season, and so lot the crop go early. It is not easy now to make accurate quotations. But apricots and prunes were sold last week in the Santa Clara district at from $50 to $55 a ton, and there were reports of even better prices. A correspondent desires to know if there is a Constitutional provision prohibiting the election of a President and Vice-President from the same State. There is not. The only clause in the Constitution which bears no relation to this issue is that it does not require any formality or legality in its application to this state. --- Special Hotel.

And the baggage! It comes down on the transiter wagons and on the hotel buses and carriage foot-boards—mountains of it. Some of it is labeled "Calin," but the most of it "Hold," and you see it run up the baggage gangway and swung out over the open hatchway. There is a rattle and crash at the donkey-engine as these American "boxes" are consigned to the depths below. Next in importance is the hand baggage, and this consists not only of bags, but overcoats, rugs, and wraps of every conceivable description. The inexperienced traveller has been told that they weigh all the trunks in Europe, and charge accordingly, so he loads himself down with bundles and boxes galore, forgetting that the first principle of a successful going abroad is to travel in "light marching order." It is surprising, too, how much enthusiasm can be kindled in the breast of your friends when you are going abroad. In fact, you never can tell the measure of your own popularity until an occasion of this kind, when they combine to give you a "send-off," often going so far as to hire a tug and an "Eyetalian" band of music to accompany the party going abroad as far down the bay as the chartered steamer can keep pace with the Canard, White Star, Guion or Indian liner, or, what is more to the point, when the "send-off" party reach a few of the white caps and the unwilling swell from the lower bay. Some friends have come all smiles and cheers, others lachrymose and full of sighs. And there by the rail is a party of five silent and constrained amid so much light-heartedness and bilarity. It is mother and father and two sisters; the brother is leaning against a pile of steamer chairs, and the wandering eager look, that brilliant sunken oye, and hectic flush on the pale, wan cheek tell why he, when too late, is going abroad. And how many times some people will kiss each other! And how many last messages, and frequently, too, commissions which mean an infraction of Uncle Sam's custom laws at the end of the return trip, are exchanged at the last moment! In the midst of all this turmoil and crowd, A correspondent desires to know if there is a Constitutional provision prohibiting the election of a President and Vice-President from the same State. There is not. The only clause in the Constitution which bears upon the subject says that "the electors shall meet in their respective States and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same State with themselves." This provision would prevent any party convention from nominating a President and Vice-President from the same State. The electors of the State from which the double selection was made would be prohibited from voting for more than one candidate from their State, and the lack of the vote of that State might lose his election. But there is no Constitutional provision prohibiting the electors of other States from voting for two candidates from one State. In the event of no election by the electors this year the House will elect a President and the Senate a Vice-President. The House would undoubtedly elect Mr. Cleveland and the Senate Mr. Reid, both of whom are from the State of New York. But the election of Mr. Cleveland and of Mr. Reid in this way would be strictly constitutional. Reports that come to the State Board of Horticulture indicate that most fruit producers will be in clover, the present season. The apricot crop is not bear so large as first reported, and prunes have been dropping badly. The reports from the Eastern fruit district tell of almost total failure of crops in Michigan, Delaware and other sections. The result is that prices have been moving upward steadily. Many fruit-growers have already contrasted with canners and drivers to sell their crops, but remarkably good figures await those who have not yet done so. The Summer Luncheon. What to eat in summer, when nobody feels like eating more than enough to support existence, is sometimes a serious consideration to the housekeeper. She, poor woman, is often at her wits' end in catering for her family, some of whom like one thing and some another, and all of whom insist on daintiily served appetizing food. Ices, and fruit, of course, are in order for dessert, but and fro, the old timers, of many voyages, look on ast, and wonder why some such a fuss about such a abroad. is spent on flowers. Huge sea, wreathes, bouquets, and minitum cover the tables of and make the already close crier and more unbearable pet perfumes.

Slowly yet she even in hot weather nature requires something more than ice to sustain its strength and equip it for its day's work. Salads may be almost indefinitely varied, and are acceptable to both eye and palate. Crisp green leaves of lettuce, making a bed on which lie silvery sardines, delicately garnished with slices of pale-rinded lemon, or having instead faint pink salmon, or hard-boiled eggs, stuffed and spiced, then served with mayonnaise, form a dish to set before a king or an epicure. Nobody, as a rule, likes cold boiled rice, but if when hot the rice is poured into small moulds, then turned out and served in attractive guise, few will decline at least one helping. The prudent matron who boils a ham or a tongue from time to time has always something to fall back upon for the summer luncheon. Cold ham and thin bread and butter, followed by a course of fruit pie—either cherries or currants or gooseberries between puff paste—is a luncheon easily prepared and usually acceptable. Many persons like iod tea, coffee, and chocolate, but there are old fashioned women, not a few, who cling to the belief that nothing cools them, nothing rests and stimulates them, so quickly as a hot cup of well-brewed tea. Well-brewed! That is, not boiled nor simmered nor stewed. Everything about a cup of tea is important, from the tea itself, selected from picked varieties, either Formosa Oolong, Hyson, or the best English breakfast; from the water freely drawn and quickly boiled, to the hot teapot in which the leaves are thrown, and the exact quantity of water poured over them. Five to seven minutes is long enough to steep tea. Then serve in a pretty cup and saucer. By all means have a dainty teapot. There are so many of these to be found in the Japanese shops and bought for a song that nobody should be without a choice of beauties.

A very brief space spent in resting will enable you better to digest your food, and will enable it to do you the good it ought. The children may not invariably join the late summer dinner, so that the children's dinner may really fall at the older ages who have visited the mines to be the richest ore in the world. Owing to the formation of the country the ledges are worked both by shaft and tunnel. The ledges all have a slight incline, and those that are being worked widen and become richer as they are worked deeper. There is practically no limit to the amount of ore that can be produced. The only question is that of reduction facilities, and these are being increased as rapidly as possible. Including the price paid for the mines and the amount so far expended in their development, over $2,000,000 have been expended, and the payroll amounts to $7,000 or $8,000 monthly, a goodly share of which is put into circulation at once in the neighboring towns. ANOTHER PATENT? THE TWILIGHT PATENT, DEAD AND TURNED TO CLAY, HAS A PROTOTYPE TO BOB UP SERENELY. The following letter from Horticultural Commissioner John Scott of Los Angeles to the editor of this paper will be found of interest to all those who remember the vigorous fight of the people against the outrageous twilight patent, and the subsequent passing into decay of that diabolical attempt to rob the horticulturists. Mr. Scott writes: OFFICE OF JOHN SCOTT, HORTICULTURAL COMMISSIONER, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES. LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 21, 1892. EDITOR GAZETTE—It is reported that a patient has been applied for by some person residing in Los Angeles for the new tent for fumigating trees. I wish to state for the information of fruit growers that the tent in question was designed and worked by C.W. Finch of Riverside and dedicated to the use of all fruit growers, and that no patent can be obtained on this apparatus. On the 16th of March Prof. Coquillett and myself went on the invitation of Mr. Finch and Dr. Claffl, Horticultural Commissioner for Riverade, to see the new tent in operation; a full description of the tent, its cost and mode of working is given in Insect Life, Vol. IV.

The history of the Temescal tin mines, about which so much has been said in the newspapers recently, is full of interest. Many years ago, so many that the memory of man nor the written records convey no idea of their number, the Indians, who then thickly populated the southern portion of the State, found on a hillside in what is now the southwestern portion of San Bernardino county, a deposit of jet black mineral, which crumbled on being exposed to the atmosphere and could readily be reduced to powder. In some manner they ascertained, or fancied that they had done so, that this mineral had certain medicinal properties, and it gained wide repute on this account. So the hill came to be called in the native tongue Cajalco, or Medicine bill, and thither came the Serranos and Coahuillas and Diegitos and Chimehuvas and the far away Yumas, to get stores of the wonderful mineral and carry it away with them to their rancheries in the mountains and on the desert. Very early in the American occupancy of the State the attention of white prospectors, ever on the alert for mineral "signs," was drawn to the strange black deposits on Cajalco. But it puzzled them. It was like nothing they had over seen. They tested it in the crude methods common in those times, but could make nothing of it, and finally gave up the effort in disguis. But one day a prospector of more than usual knowledge examined the mysterious mineral and, after several experiments, discovered that it was ore—the first, too, that had ever been discovered in this country. No sooner was the announcement made than the hills around Cajalco were overrun with prospectors and numerous locations were made. Upward of sixty outcroppings of veins varying from a foot to thirty feet in thickness were found, and two shafts were sunk on a couple of the more promising ledges. This was a year or two before the war, and while the gold excitement on this coast was at its highat. At once news of the discovery spread far and wide, and the papers contained long accounts of the wonderful tin mines, which it was freely predicted were "worth millions." Great excitement was created and when some small bars of tin were received in San Francisco there was a great popular outburst and a second Fraser river excitement seemed imminent. Unfortunately, however, at the very outset a dispute arose as to the title of the land upon which the mines were located, and the dispute continued for over thirty years involving tedious and expensive litigation. This came to an end at last, however, and in anticipation of the final settlement of title preparations were made to commence operations on a large scale. Something over a desires to know if there is provision prohibiting the resident and Vice-Presidentate. There is not. The Constitution which bears says that "the electors are respective States and President and Vice-President at least shall not be an same State with them; vision would prevent any nominating a President from the same state from which one was made would be voting for more than one State, and the lack of state might lose his electors no constitutional protections of other States two candidates from one out of no election by the House will elect a Senate a Vice-President, undoubtedly elect Mr. Senate Mr. Reid, both of the State of New York, of Mr. Cleveland and of any way would be strictly connecited to the State Board of State that most fruit-producer, the present season, not near so large as first ones have been dropping fruits from the Eastern fruit in almost total failure of Delaware and other seas that prices have been steadily.

She, poorer wits end in catering of whom like one thing and all of whom insist on petting food. Ices, and in order for dessert, but spread far and wide, and the papers contained long accounts of the wonderful tin mines, which it was freely predicted were "worth millions." Great excitement was created and when some small bars of tin were received in San Francisco there was a great popular outburst and a second Fraser river excitement seemed imminent. Unfortunately, however, at the very outset a dispute arose as to the title of the land upon which the mines were located, and the dispute continued for over thirty years, involving tedious and expensive litigation. This came to an end at last, however, and in anticipation of the final settlement of title preparations were made to commence operations on a large scale. Something over a year ago systematic development of the ledges was undertaken. A branch of the Santa Fe road had been built to South Riverside, a town seven miles distant, which made access to the ruins comparatively easy. The work of development was in the hands of a company whose officers reside in England, but which has heavy stockholders in this country. An American was appointed to the superintendency, and under his management extensive improvements were made. Roads were graded, buildings were erected, an immense dam to supply water power was commenced, orbards and gardens were planted. A small five-stamp mill for experimental purposes was erected and two shafts which had been sunk by the discoverers were cleaned out and elaborate hoisting works erected. On April 25, 1891, the first pig tin was turned out, and in the next two months twelve tons in all of pure tin were produced by the test mill. This mill, it should be understood, was not intended for any but experimental purposes, and was erected solely in order that a thorough test might be made before settling on the site for the permanent and extensive works. In July the officers of the company became dissatisfied with the slow progress made, and an expert tin miner from Cornwall was put in charge of the works. Prior to this change, however, work had been well under way in the erection of another mill, with a capacity of forty tons daily. This was quickly completed and in connection with six concentrators is now turning out from twenty to thirty tons of pig tin monthly. The machinery for another mill of equal capacity is now on the ground and will be put up just as soon as the work can be done, when the production will be doubled. There are 150 men constantly employed, who are paid the best wages and receive the best treatment as to quarters, food, etc. So far over 100 distinct veins of tin ore have been found at Cajalco and vicinity, and the ore shows assays of six to sixty per cent, averaging so far ten per cent and showing better the further down the shafts are sunk. It is pronounced by many disinterested exthe upper ends of the uprights, after which these ropes are fastened to the braces on the uprights, and the men holding the stay ropes draw the tops of the uprights towards them, thus drawing the sheet over the tree, and after it has been drawn far enough, the lower ends of the ropes passing through the pulleys are unfastened and the sheet allowed to fall down over the tree, the uprights at the same time being allowed to fall flat upon the ground. When the sheet is to be removed from the tree this can be done either by hand or by use of the uprights, and if each tree in the row is to be treated the sheet can be drawn off of one tree and placed over the next without the necessity of lowering the uprights, since one man can carry the foot of the upright several feet forward with case at the same time that the sheet is attached to the top of it." Five men can operate this apparatus with less labor than is required to manipulate the fumigators now in use, and by the one pair of uprights and ropes at least half a dozen sheets could be operated by the one set of men, without any loss of time. I am informed that the cost of this apparatus, including half a dozen sheets large enough to cover trees 24 feet high, will not exceed $450, this only being about one-third of the cost of fumigators for operating tents as at present used. This sheet-fumigator can be used in places where the ordinary kind could not be used; for instance, on steep hillsides, or among trees planted so closely together that an ordinary fumigator could not be driven between them. The sheet, in being pulled off of the tree, does not catch beneath the branches, as the ordinary text is very liable to do. As this new fumigator can be easily constructed by almost any fruit-grower, we may reasonably expect that this method of destroying scale insects will come into more general use.

"I suppose you don't care for poetry here, do you?" she inquired. "No," said the editor, diplomatically, "I can't say we do." "I guess as much from the verse you published," she rejoined. And then she was gone.
