$25,000,000 IS YIELD OF STATE MINES DECREASED PRODUCTION OF PRECIOUS METALS AS COMPARED WITH YEAR 1910 NORTHERN COUNTIES PRINCIPAL PRODUCERS OF GOLD, COPPER AND OTHER MINERALS The mine output of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc in California in 1911, according to Charles G. Yale, of the United States Geological Survey, was valued at $25,174,677, a decrease of $1,845,728 from the corresponding value for 1910, although the production for 1910 included no zinc. The total decrease was due mainly to a curtailment in the output of copper because of litigation over the smelter-fume question. The mine production of gold in 1911 was $19,738,908, an increase of $23,-468. The output of silver was 1,270,445 fine ounces, valued at $673,336, a decrease of 569,640 ounces in quantity and of $320,310 in value. The production of copper was 36,316,136 pounds, valued at $4,539,517, a decrease of 12,-384,620 pounds in quantity and of $1,-645,479 in value. The output of lead was 1,398,111 pounds, valued at $62,-915, a decrease of 1,472,866 pounds and $63,408. The output of zinc, however, none of which was produced in 1910. FACTORY WILL BUILD AIR-CRAFT Santa Ana Forms Company For Manufacture of Aeroplanes Glenn L. Martin, the Santa Ana aviator, has organized a company to erect aeroplanes and will go into the manufacturing business on a large scale. It is planned to make it the biggest aeroplane factory on the Pacific coast. The company is named the Glenn L. Martin Company. It is capitalized for $100,000, of which all the stock is issued, Santa Ana is named as the principal place of business. Martin's factory, now located on Tenth street, near Main street, Los Angeles, goes into the control of the new company. Already shipments of material are being received for an extensive business. With the capital on hand, the aviator can develop at once many of his ideas of air navigation that promise to go far to make flying a safer and more useful occupation. Primarily the company is formed to build and sell aeroplanes. Martin's flight from Newport Bay to Avalon put him to the foremost of the world as an operator of the hydro-aeroplane. Under the plans of the new company Newport Bay will be the Pacific coast demonstration center. Several contracts are already signed for the sale of hydro-aeroplanes, and machines to fill those contracts are now being completed, and will soon be tried out on Newport Bay. Chicago is to be a branch sales place. Hydro-aeroplanes will be placed on the lake there. Martin will be able to establish schools of aviation. One will be a school for teaching flying from land and the other for teaching flying from water. For months Martin has had The mine production of gold in 1911 was $19,738,908, an increase of $23,468. The output of silver was 1,270,445 fine ounces, valued at $673,336, a decrease of 569,640 ounces in quantity and of $320,310 in value. The production of copper was 36,316,136 pounds, valued at $4,539,517, a decrease of 12,384,620 pounds in quantity and of $1,645,479 in value. The output of lead was 1,398,111 pounds, valued at $62,915, a decrease of 1,472,866 pounds and $63,408. The output of zinc, however, none of which was produced in 1910, was 2,807,035 pounds, valued at $160,001. There were 1,181 properties reported productive in 1911, of which 596 were deep mines and 585 were placers of various kinds. This shows a total increase of 102 producing mines for 1911. There were 522 gold mines producing, 11 silver mines, 31 silver-lead mines, and 30 copper mines in 1911. Of the placer producers 169 were hydraulic properties, 65 were dredges, 141 were drift mines in ancient river gravels, and 210 were surface or sluicing mines. The dredges were operated by 34 companies, against 41 in 1910. There were 81 more deep mines and 21 more placers producing in 1911 than in 1910. The deep mines of California produced 2,944,188 tons of ore in 1911, an increase of 246,303 tons. Of this output 2,443,274 tons was siliceous ore (an increase of 479,978 tons), 494,281 tons copper ore (a decrease of 222,404 tons), 2,008 tons lead ore, and 4,625 tons zinc ore. The total average value from all ore sold or treated in 1911 was $5.49 a ton, against $6.71 in 1910. At gold and silver mills in California in 1911 the tonnage milled was 2,156,950 short tons, yielding $9,709,331 in gold and 172,855 ounces of silver, or a total average value of $4.54 a ton, against $5.25 in 1910. Of this average value $3.59 a ton was recovered as bullion in the mills in 1911. The smelting ores, 538,214 tons, produced all the copper and zinc, practically all the lead, 1,004,472 ounces of silver, and $641,495 in gold. There were also 249,024 tons of old and tailings treated in California in 1911, yielding $401,555 in gold and 57.577 ounces of silver. The placers of California yielded $8,986,527 in gold and 39,541 ounces of silver in 1911, an increase of $96,087 in total value over the yield for 1910. The dredges showed an increase in production of $116,207 and the hydraulic mines an increase of $39,988, but the output from drift and sluicing mines decreased. The dredges produced 38.84 per cent of the gold output of the mine. HARVEST HAS BEEN GOOD Crop Conditions Throughout State Reported Excellent—Fruit Shipments Large The month of August was comparatively cool and the season will long be remembered as a pleasant one. There have been no excessively high temperatures in the interior, while along the coast the weather has been delightful. There has been less fog than usual and no high winds. Some light showers occurred in the Northern Coast counties, and near the close of the month light rain fell in the extreme south. While the water supply is not abundant, and streams and ground waters are lower than known for several years, there is not much complaint nor any marked scarcity of water. Conditions have been favorable for ripening fruits, and also for drying and curing. The harvest of the various crops has so far been quite satisfactory, both in yield and returns, and the farmers generally are reported as being well pleased with the year's results, and are enlarging the scope of their activities on every hand. Public corporate and private construction is constantly adding to the permanent values of the State. By subdivision of large holdings, irrigation and reclamation, large areas are being made available for the homeseekers who are coming in increased numbers into the State. Threshers report the yield of cereals better than was expected. A fourth cutting of alfalfa in some sections totals 8 to 10 tons per acre. The sugar beet crop of the State promises a record yield.

The placers of California yielded $8,986,527 in gold and 39,541 ounces of silver in 1911, an increase of $96,087 in total value over the yield for 1910. The dredges showed an increase in production of $116,207 and the hydraulic mines an increase of $39,988, but the output from drift and sluicing mines decreased. The dredges produced 38.84 per cent of the gold output of the State in 1911. The total dredge output of California from 1899, when the production from this source began and was only $206,302, to the end of 1911 has been $47,985,236.

Threshers report the yield of cereals better than was expected. A fourth cutting of alfalfa in some sections totals 8 to 10 tons per acre. The sugar beet crop of the State promises a record yield. The harvest began the first part of August. The improved facilities given by the transportation companies for getting fruit to market are giving much satisfaction. Citrus shipments to August 26th were 37,183 carloads, some 7,000 short of same date 1911. Deciduous fruit shipments to August 28th were 6,732 carloads; over 600 ahead of 1911, the same date. Pears lead with some 750 carloads more than 1911. First cotton of 1912 ginned in Imperial Valley shows up well. The Secretary of State reports 2,737 new registrations of motor vehicles for the month of July. The registration numbers now reach over 82,500. Colonist rates to California on all lines, in effect from September 25th to October 10th, giving one-way rate of $30 from Missouri River points, will bring many homeseekers to California.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE FOSSIL DEPOSITS REMARKABLE FIND RANCHO LA BREA IN OUTSKIRTS OF LOS ANGELES SCENE OF DISCOVERY PREHISTORIC ANIMALS MIRE IN THE TAR OOZE —THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF AGE What is perhaps the most remarkable deposit of remains of extinct animals yet discovered in the world is now to be explored by the University of California. This is the fossil beds in the Rancho La Brea, in the outskirts of Los Angeles. Here for countless ages oil has oozed to the surface. In the tar pools so formed animals have become mired, have lost their lives, and their skeletons, even to the most fragile portions, have been perfectly preserved. The fossil deposits resulting are extraordinary for the perfection with which the skeletons are preserved, for the completeness of the representation of the life of a past geological period, and for the abundance of individuals of each species represented. Madam Ida Hancock Ross, the owner of the Rancho La Brea, has generously given to the University the privilege of excavating these fossil beds. The work has just begun, under the direction of Dr. John Campbell Merriam, professor of palaeontology and historical geology in the University of California. Its results will be of great value in the study of how evolution has proceeded and animal species have developed on the earth. CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS A. C. Basten, a Fullerton orange grower, while doing some work on his ranch a few days ago, accidentally thrust a hay hook through his hand. Though attended to at once the hand developed blood poisoning of a very severe character. He was brought to this city and antitoxine administered which obviated the necessity of amputation. He is improving rapidly. Fred Heitshusen, of Olive, son of J. D. Heitshusen, while cleaning a rifle a few days ago caused accidental discharge of same. The bullet lodged in the hand. It was located by the x-ray and removed. Louis Kraemer, son of Samuel Kraemer, Placentia, accidentally fell and broke his arm one day last week. H. S. Hood, engineer at the sugar factory, had the misfortune on Friday to lose the tip of a finger. While not serious, the wound was a painful one. Mr. Hood has been under the care a physician. TRINDLE RECOVERING A large number of people congregated at the Sanitarium last Wednesday morning to furnish skin grafts for Clarence Trindle, the boy who was badly burned two months ago. The grafting is proving a great success and his ultimate recovery is assured. Mrs. Louis Denni, of Los Alamitos, was brought to the sanitarium on Thursday last suffering from a very dangerous condition which necessitated an immediate operation in order to save her life. She is resting nicely at the present writing and will recover. Clarence Chapman, of Fullerton, a nephew of C. C. Chapman, is very low from typhoid fever. He has had hemorrhages all week. While the sanitarium staff have good reason to believe Madam Ida Hancock Ross, the owner of the Rancho La Brea, has generously given to the University the privilege of excavating these fossil beds. The work has just begun, under the direction of Dr. John Campbell Merriam, professor of palaeontology and historical geology in the University of California. Its results will be of great value in the study of how evolution has proceeded and animal species have developed on the earth. The heirs of Michael Cudahy have just given $10,000 toward the endowment fund of Newman Hall, and $1,000 each has been given by four other donors. The Newman Club is an organization of the Roman Catholic students of the university. Through the generosity of Archbishop Patrick W. Riordan of San Francisco, who contributed $40,000 (from his "Jubilee Fund"), and through the aid of other friends the club occupies Newman Hall, an admirably appointed building, which contains meeting rooms, a chapel, a library, bowling alleys, social rooms, a kitchen, etc., and which serves as a center for the social and religious life of the Catholic students. Its privileges and hospitalities are open also to the other students of the university. An endowment of $5,600 has recently been received by the University Young Women's Christian Association. The University of California Club of San Francisco, organized some years ago to bring together the alumni of the university, has recently increased its membership to more than 1,500. The object of the club is to unite the alumni of the university, both those residing about San Francisco bay and those living at a distance, for mutual friendliness, and to advance in all ways possible the welfare of the university. The club has well equipped rooms on Union Square, in San Francisco—at the corner of Geary and Stockton streets. It is an organization similar to the Yale, Harvard, and Princeton Clubs of New York. The Agricultural Club, which includes in its membership a large number of the students of the College of Agriculture, is planning during the present year to make a number of expeditions to observe the methods of successful farmers. Three of the journeys planned for the near future are to one of the potato ranches of Mr. George Shima, to the University Farm at Davis, and to the State Fair at Sacramento. There are 40 more freshmen in the College of Agriculture this year than in the entering class of a year ago. Mrs. Louis Denni, of Los Alamitos, was brought to the sanitarium on Thursday last suffering from a very dangerous condition which necessitated an immediate operation in order to save her life. She is resting nicely at the present writing and will recover. Clarence Chapman, of Fullerton, a nephew of C. C. Chapman, is very low from typhoid fever. He has had hemorrhages all week. While the sanitarium staff have good reason to believe he will recover, they state that he is very sick. WHERE AUTHORS TRIP A line by W. J. Locke runs: "He talked incessantly all the time." Oh, Willyum! Writes Arnold Bennett: "She won 15,000 francs in as many minutes." Pretty long session that! Another novelist says: "Her eyes filled with silent tears." Generally they boom like billows, you know. According to another, the here "brushed her hair with his lips." Scarcely an improvement on the old method of a real brush, that we can see. Another writer remarks: "Charlotte von Stern was, when Goethe first met her, several years older than himself." But later, of course, 'twas otherwise. "He rested his feet on the back of a chair and blew smoke rings with half-closed eyes." We've seen it done with the mouth. "Marjorie would often take her eyes from the deck and cast them far out to sea." As a caster, Izaak Walton had nothing on Margie, believe us! QUARANTINE FOREIGN LANDS Mediterranean Fly and Other Injurious Pests to Be Barred Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has arranged to hold hearings in Washington on the white pine blister rust September 16, on the Mediterranean fly September 18, and the potato wart September 20, preliminary to proposed sweeping quarantine proclamations against these agricultural menaces under a new law. After the courtesy of hearings the secretary of agriculture proposes to declare a quarantine against Hawaii in the case of the Mediterranean fly; against Great Britain, France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy as to the importation of four species of pines liable to introduce the rust, and against Newfoundland, St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands, Germany Austria. AMACK & CALKINS Construction Su F. C. SPENCER Offi ASK SHIPPERS TO ASSIST RAILROADS GREAT MOVEMENT OF FREIGHT EASTWARD MAY CAUSE CAR SHORTAGE THIS SEASON PROMPT UNLOADING OF ALL SHIPMENTS ADVICE GIVEN BY STATE COMMISSION Realizing that freight shipments eastward the coming season will be the largest in the history of the State, the railroad commission has issued the following circular to all shippers, asking co-operation on their part, to the end that a threatened car shortage may be averted: To All Shippers and Receivers of Freight: Various transportation companies call attention to the fact that because of the large increase in business moving out of the State, there is likely to be a severe car shortage within the next few months. The commission makes an earnest request that all shippers use every effort at their command to promptly load and unload carload shipments, in order that equipment may be released for the use of other shippers. We feel that if shippers will put forth their best efforts to unload cars in less than the 48 hours permitted under our demurrage rules a great deal of good can be accomplished and much delay in furnishing cars will be avoided. We understand many of the railroads have ordered a large amount of additional equipment which may relieve the situation in the future, but whether this additional equipment will be sufficient to accommodate the large increase in traffic and fully relieve future car shortages, the commission is not prepared to say. In addition to prompt loading and unloading of equipment shippers can materially assist if they will take advantage of the present supply of cars and endeavor to anticipate their requirements in advance. Also when the nature of the commodity will permit ber of the students of the College of Agriculture, is planning during the present year to make a number of expeditions to observe the methods of successful farmers. Three of the journeys planned for the near future are to one of the potato ranches of Mr. George Shima, to the University Farm at Davis, and to the State Fair at Sacramento. There are 40 more freshmen in the College of Agriculture this year than in the entering class of a year ago. This is a greater proportional increase than in any other college of the university. With 14½ per cent more students enrolled at Berkeley than at this time a year ago, the university has to meet the enlarged demands with an income which has increased only 3 per cent over last year's income. It is now expected that the registration for the year will be approximately 7,200. The registration at Berkeley this month is 4,165. Of these, 324 are new graduate students, while 1,305 are new undergraduates. That is to say, there are 1,629 students at Berkeley this fall who were not here last year. NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS Notice is hereby given that a meeting of stockholders of the Anaheim Orange Growers' Association will be held at the office of the company at their packing house on Orange street, one block south of Santa Fe depot, at the hour of 2 P. M. on Monday, September 16, 1912. GEO. H. MAXFIELD, Sec. CARD OF THANKS The undersigned desire to express their heartfelt thanks to their friends for acts of kindness, and assistance in the hour of their recent bereavement, consequent upon the illness and death of wife, daughter and sister. W. E. RENNER, MRS. ANNIE BARTER and family. After the courtesy of hearings the secretary of agriculture proposes to declare a quarantine against Hawaii in the case of the Mediterranean fly; against Great Britain, France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy as to the importation of four species of pines liable to introduce the rust, and against Newfoundland, St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands, Germany, Austria, Hungary and Great Britain, including England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, as to importations of potatoes that might bring the potato wart. GUARDED BY MEXICAN SOLDIERS Alexander Henry and Family Have Laughable Experience Below Line Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Henry and Mr. and Mrs. John Henry returned on Monday from a weeks' automobile trip to San Diego. They made an excursion across the line at Tia Juana, and proceeded some distance beyond the boundary. A mile or more south of Tia Juana they came upon a mud fort guarded by a garrison of 15 Mexican soldiers. As Mr. Henry and his party stopped their machine near the rudely barricaded place of safety, the captain commanding the garrison ordered his men to circle about the auto. This they did, old fashioned muskets in hand, much to the merriment of the Americans. After getting a good sight of the fort, and inwardly reflecting that he could get out of the machine and clean out the whole push, single handed, Mr. Henry drove away. He found good road throughout San Diego county, much superior to those in Orange county, but found lemon groves and other orchards inferior to those hereabouts. Elton Goble was a week-end guest of relatives in Pasadena. DO IT NOW Anaheim People Should Not Wait Until It Is Too Late The appalling death-rate from kidney disease is due in most cases to the fact that the little kidney troubles are usually neglected until they become serious. The slight symptoms give place to chronic disorders and the sufferer goes gradually into the grasp of dropsy, Bright's disease, gravel or some other serious form of kidney complaint. If you suffer from backache, headaches, dizzy spells; if the kidney secretions are irregular of passage and unnatural in appearance, do not delay. Help the kidneys at once.

Hughes, government engineer, who was in charge of the recent harbor survey of Newport Bay, accompanied by Lew H. Wallace, W. A. Cornelius and L. H. Parkinson, all of Newport Beach, made a trip into the hills on Saturday about three miles back from Corona del Mar, for the purpose of investigating the availability of rock deposits there for use in the building of jetties. In the section named there is a ledge of rock which is in the neighborhood of a mile long and from 100 to 150 feet deep, and there is hope that from it may be secured all the rock necessary for jetty work. It is understood that Mr. Hughes will report to the government his findings on the subject, and the fact that this investigation has been made strongly encourages the people of Newport Beach in the hope that further steps toward the improvement of the harbor are not far distant.
