The Virginia Dale mining district in San Bernardino county is attracting the attention of mining capitalists and there are several small mills being erected which are more than paying expenses of development on the various quartz ledges in the territory. The group known as the Virginia Dale property, together with its five stam mill has recently been sold to a Dever company for $45,000. It is their intention to add five stamps to the present capacity and put a force at work on the mines that will keep the mill running steadily. Placer miners are making about $3 per day with dry washers in the vicinity. To reach this camp take the Southern Pacific to Palm Springs, when close connection is made by stage every fourth day dating from Dec. 3, 1897, via the Lost Horse, Desert Queen Warner’s ranch and 29 Palms to Day City, the metropolis of the district.

Mr. Cargill Presents a Plan Whereby the Growers May be Benefited. A. H. Cargill of Brookshurst has written the following communication outlining a new plan for the marketing of fruit. He believes there exists no reason for warfare between the advocates of the two methods of marketing fruit—the fruit brokers and the associations. The best interests of the growers, he thinks, call for immediate and lasting peace at any price. The most patent fact, so plain that even he who runs may read, is that in whatever competition there is between the contending factions in this matter, it is the grower's fruit that is shot away for ammunition, and it is he alone who pays the war tax. On this important matter Mr. Cargill, formerly the general secretary of the Southern California Fruit Exchange writes the Fruit World as follows: "My attention has been called to your editorial in your issue of the 22d inst. Taking it for granted that you are sincere in taking an independent ground in this question of marketing the orange crop, I beg to say that you have hit the nail squarely on the head when you state that in the competition between the Central Exchange and the regular shippers, 'It is the growers' fruit that is shot away for ammunition, and it is he and he alone that pays the war tax.'" "It seems to me that the time has arrived when the grower should awake to the fact that he has been 'pulling the chestnuts out of the fire' for the last four years. Why is it necessary for this war between the Southern California Fruit exchange and the regular shippers to go on? It benefits no one; at least not the orange-grower." Two years ago I suggested that in place of keeping up the fight, that we utilize the strong shipping companies to market our fruit. I would now suggest the raw material of my plan, leaving it for future discussion and time to Samoa and to demand reparation if they have been aggrieved. The affair complained of occurred on December 28, 1896, but the state department took no notice of the outrage until the present administration heard Consul Churchill's story on his return to the United States. According to Mr. Churchill, a band of Samoan natives made a raid upon a Mormon mission house at Apia, and defaced and defiled in an outrageous manner the place, the pulpit and the Bible. The furniture was torn to pieces, the pulpit demolished, the Bible soiled, and the clothing of Mr. Cluff, the head missionary, was destroyed or stolen. Senator Cannon, of Utah, whose father is one of the highest officials of the Mormon church, insisted upon the inquiry which Assistant Secretary Day has ordered. AMERICAN FRUITS. Action of the German Government Likely to Calt for Retaliation. WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—The announcement in later cables that the German prohibition decree against American products includes dried as well as fresh fruits, has aroused the greatest amount of indignation among California representatives here, and there will be no time lost in urging prompt action on the part of the executive department as soon as the exact terms of the decree are made known. That this will come very soon was indicated in the prompt action on the resolution of inquiry introduced by Chairman Davis of the Senate Foreign Relations committee. The sweeping character of the decree, as indicated in Minister White's cables, leads to the belief that there will be at once a request from this government for suspension during the investigation. In case the decree is insisted upon, it is the general belief that there will be quick retaliation.

One hundred fifty cots have been placed in a laundry room on the second floor of a building. In the basement bath they have been provided, together with room for fumigating clothes and laundry in which a man may wash his own clothes. The meal consists entirely of vegetables, meat being barbecued because of its expense and the work cooking it and because the management are believers in vegetarianism.

Sugar Factory { 7:52 a.m. 4:25 p.m. } Mr. Ward L. Smith, of Frederickstown, Mo., was troubled with chronic diarrhoea for over thirty years. He had become fully satisfied that it was only state that in the competition between the Central Exchange and the regular shippers, 'it is the growers' fruit that is shot away for ammunition, and it is he and he alone that pays the war tax.' "It seems to me that the time has arrived when the grower should awake to the fact that he has been 'pulling the chestnuts out of the fire' for the last four years. Why is it necessary for this war between the Southern California Fruit exchange and the regular shippers to go on? It benefits no one; at least not the orange-grower." "Two years ago I suggested that in place of keeping up the fight, that we utilize the strong shipping companies to market our fruit. I would not suggest the raw material of my plan, leaving it for future discussion and time to take off the rough edges." "Let us engage ten or eleven of the ablest and most experienced shippers, under adequate salaries, to form an executive board to market the fruit of the exchanges, with the understanding that they devote their entire time and attention to the exchange fruit affairs and not engage in other affairs in the citrus trade." "In this way we will stop at once all competition between the large and experienced shippers and the fruit exchanges, a competition that means loss to the grower at every turn, and the blame for which cannot be just put upon any particular pair of shoulders." "Such a plan can be formulated in a practical manner and by it all fights may be avoided, and in my opinion, it will result in obtaining for us the highest average prices we ever secured for our oranges and lemons." "We can afford to pay the members of such an executive board good salaries, sufficient to command their entire attention, and still have our fruit marketed at a lower cost per box than we pay now, whether shipping through the exchange or some shipping concern." "Under such an arrangement the entire orange crop of Southern California can be enrolled, and what combination of interest could arise or avail against such a combination as that that would do material injury, or prevent the absolute control of all markets by the executive board suggested?" "Viewing the many complicated conditions now existing, the arrangements for such a marketing plan may appear difficult, but I firmly believe such a plan could be put into-good working shape before the ripening of our next crop." "Experiments on marketing plans, similar to the experiences of growers in this section have taken place in all fruit-growing districts of the United States. Ultimately, the working plans have been arranged to put the marketing of the product into the hands of shippers, trained in a school of long experience." "Under the usual favorable conditions, Southern California will produce oranges and lemons enough to supply the needs of American markets. That we control the markets of the country-to-day is apparent to all men in the trade, but the losses entailed to shippers by the two fearful forces in competition is much greater than is generally believed." "I would like to hear an expression of opinion from leading growers on this suggestion. Respectfully yours." "A. H. CARGILL." Anaheim, Cal., Jan. 25th. We ask attention to Mr. Cargill's request for expressions of opinion on this matter from growers, and hope that all others who are interested will write at once fully and frankly." Mr. Ward L. Smith, of Frederickstown, Mo., was troubled with chronic diarrhoea for over thirty years. He had become fully satisfied that it was only state that in the competition between the Central Exchange and the regular shippers affected, especially those of Hamburg on the lower Rhine and at Emmerich, and still more to the protests of Ambassador White. Its decision forbids the importation only where the prompt action on the part of the executive department as soon as the exact terms of the decree are made known. That this will come very soon was indicated in the prompt action on the resolution of inquiry introduced by Chairman Davis of the Senate Foreign Relations committee. The sweeping character of the decree, as indicated in Minister White's cables, leads to the belief that there will be at once a request from this government for suspension during the investigation. In case the decree is insisted upon, it is the general belief that there will be quick retaliation, which will probably take form of the exclusion of German wines and toys. This, if carried into effect, might produce more friction and result in an imperial decree carrying out the hopes of the Agrarians, who are agitating for higher duties on American wines. The report of Consul Schumann at Mainz, Germany, just received, says: After showing that for the first six months of 1897 Germany exported 78,930 hundredweight of wine to America and that for the entire year the exports exceeded those of the previous year by $31,500, these figures prove the necessity for Germans to retain American trade. On the other hand, legislators are bringing forward many arguments to prove the necessity of checking the importation of American wines, saying it is increasing to an alarming extent. It is certainly a very pleasing fact that within the last few years the importation of American, especially California wines, has greatly increased. In 1895 the importation of American wines into Germany amounted to 24,494 hundredweight, as against the exportation of German wines to the United States of 118,604 hundredweight. BERLIN, Feb. 3.-It is announced that the Bundesrath in plenary sitting-to-day approved its committee's proposal that a decree should be issued prohibiting the importation from America of live plants and shrubs and packages containing the same. The decree will also, within a certain measure, affect American fruits. These are to be examined by experts on their arrival at German ports, and the packages found to be infected with the fruit louse will be excluded. Instructions to this effect will be issued to the customs authorities. The announcement, which is made by an official agency, appears to indicate a measure distinct from the decree issued Tuesday by Dr. Miquel, the Prussian Minister of Finance, prohibiting the importation of any kind of American fresh fruit, but it is difficult to ascertain the exact details. The Bundesrath's measure, it is pointed out, is "far less stringent than similar measures at present enforced in individual States in the American Union." The Hamburg authorities to-day permitted unloading of supplies from the United States, owing to instructions received from Berlin, as result of the protests of United States Ambassador White against Dr. Miquel's decree. The Bundesrath supersedes with its authority Miquel's decree; which seems ill-advised in its rigor and suddenness and which, naturally provisional, was occasioned by the recently reported experiments of Dr. Friedrich von Lueger of Agricultural High School. The Bundesrath's action is due to a series of vigorous protests from the shippers affected, especially those of Hamburg on the lower Rhine and at Emmerich, and still more to the protests of Ambassador White. Its decision forbids the importation only where the prompt action on the part of the executive department as soon as the exact terms of the decree are made known. That this will come very soon was indicated in the prompt action on the resolution of inquiry introduced by Chairman Davis of the Senate Foreign Relations committee. The sweeping character of the decree, as indicated in Minister White's cables, leads to the belief that there will be at once a request from this government for suspension during the investigation. In case the decree is insisted upon, it isthe general belief that there will be quick retaliation, which will probably take form ofthe exclusion of German wines and toys. This, if carried into effect, might produce more friction and result in an imperial decree carrying outthe hopes ofthe Agrarians, who are agitating for higher duties onAmerican wines.

United States Minister Storer reports to the State Department at Washington that the total exports of raw sugar from Belgium in 1897 were 394,787,610 pounds, of which 134,723,208 went to the United States. The exportation of refined sugar was 125,635,235 pounds, and of this 1,162,608 known as pulverized, went to the United States. The death knell of the once promising sorghum sugar industry of Kansas, upon which the government spent almost $250,000 in experiments, was sounded at Fort Scott some days ago when the last piece of sugar machinery in the State was sold to Nebraska men for shipment to that State. The machinery cost $104,000. It sold for $9,000. This was the first station established by the government, and the survival of all others. The industry in Kansas gradually collapsed after the government removed the bounty on sugar. Beet sugar manufacturers in Nebraska have a quarrel with producers in that state which presages trouble. All contracts of the company this year have a clause inserted to the effect that if the Hawaiian bill shall become a law, producers of beets shall be paid but $3 50 per ton, otherwise the price paid last year, $4 per ton, will prevail. Farmers refuse to sign these contracts, and the beet raisers' association has officially declared that no sugar beets will be raised in the State this year. This means unless the Oxnards, who own the four big factories in the State, agree to pay the straight price of $4 per ton. Oxnard has declared that if the contracts are not accepted, only one of his factories will be operated in the State this year. Among the fruit exporters in San Francisco the news of the action of the German government prohibiting the importation of American fruit creates no alarm. Albert Castle of Castle Bros. voices the general sentiment in the sion, the market for California loose raisins is beginning to show signs of improvement. Liberal consignments to eastern markets by coast packers have shut off the outlet of New York receivers to a considerable extent, and the resulting competition between sellers here and at out-of-town points has resulted in a demoralized condition, out of which has come no benefit to any one concerned. As the bulk of good raisins have gone into consumption, and the demand for that class of goods is reported to be increasing, a firmer feeling has been developed, though no actual increase in prices is reported." Gov. Budd has granted Salter D. Worden, awaiting execution at Folsom prison for participating in the wrecking of the overland train in Yolo county during the strike in 1894, another reprieve until June 17. Unless by that time he is granted another reprieve or is pardoned, Worden will be hanged on the date designated. The reprieve was issued to enable the Commissioner of Lunacy appointed by Gov. Budd toquire into Worden's mental condition to continue his investigation. It is most likely that the Governor will be guided in his future acts in the matter by the nature of the lunacy commission's report. Ex-President Cleveland some time ago wrote Gov. Budd, asking clemency in Worden's case. A suit to secure the payment of 28 cents is pending in the Superior Court of San Bernardino county. The suit is styled J. H. Dinwiddie vs. M. Royal. Royal owned the plaintiff $4, and was dunned for it. Afterward he tendered the money and found that the account had been placed in the hands of a collector, who had begun suit to collect the amount, with 28 cents interest. Justice Baker of Redlands tried the case, and at the trial the $4 was again offered and accepted, and a nonsuit granted. Then the collector requested payment of the 28 cents interest, which was refused, on the ground that it was illegal to charge interest on an open account. The plaintiff took an appeal from Justice Baker's court to the Superior Court.

On this showing a new trial was asked for. At the trial of the case Woodruff testified that he had sold the team of horses for a man named Sam Wilson, with whom he was only slightly acquainted. He said that he received $250 for the service. In considering the affidavits Judge Smith said that if they were true, Woodruff had perjured himself when he testified.

The Prussian minister of finance has issued a decree which goes into effect immediately prohibiting the importation of every kind of American fresh fruit. The decision has been sent to all the German ports and frontier stations, except Bavaria, Saxony and Wartemburg. The United States embassy was not previously warned, and the U.S. Ambassador, Mr. White, sent a formal letter to the foreign office inquiry upon what authority this imical step was taken. The U.S. Consul at Hamburg, Dr. Hugh Pitcairn, telegraphed that 16,000 barrels of American apples have been forbidden to be unloaded and that two trains full of American fruit have also been forbidden to cross the frontier at Emerich, which, aside from Hamburg, is the principal place of entry for American fruit. On receipt of this news, Mr. White sent a second and stronger remonstrance to the foreign office, calling attention to the evident violation of the treaty. At the foreign office it was learned that the Prussian government prohibits the entry of American fruit on sanitary grounds, claiming that California and other vermin threaten German trees and fruit. Senator Perkins when shown the dispatch said the prevention of importation on sanitary grounds is a mere pretext and it is merely to keep out fruits which competed with German products. The order was no doubt issued as a retaliation against the United States because of the differential on sugar from bounty paying countries. The Senator said the United States could meet this order by retaliation. "If this country," said Senator McEnery of Louisiana, "would only prohibit the importation of German cutlery and woolens there would soon be an end of any discrimination against American products."
