The value of agricultural and horticultural products of the State in 1911, at market prices, amounted to over $400,000,000. The mineral output of California for 1911, (value at place of production), was $87,500,000, which figure does not include manufactured mineral products. In the official report of the State Board of Control recently made public, appropriations of over $1,500,000 are recommended for the various branches of agriculture and horticulture in California, while but $40,000 is the sum recommended for the support of the State mining bureau. This is $10,000 less than was appropriated by the last legislature for two years' work. Here we see one of the two great basic industries of our State thrust aside as being entitled to little if any consideration. Mining is not a decadent industry, as some seem to think. Our mineral output for 1912 will exceed $91,500,000, which is $4,000,000 more than in 1911, and it is steadily increasing in importance. If the State mining bureau be properly supported by legislative appropriation, it will result in a still greater expansion of this great industry. All that the miners of the State now ask is a square deal. During the past two years the State mining bureau has made determinations on over 3,000 samples. More than 2,300 letters of inquiry concerning the mineral industry of California have been answered during the past year, many of which were from other states and foreign countries. During the past year the number of people visiting the mining bureau museum, in which there are 20,000 specimens of minerals, fossils, etc., exceeded 35,000, which is one index of the usefulness and popularity of that institution. Since its organization the State mining bureau has issued ten annual and three biennial reports; 62 bulletins, and numerous county and state maps. Of the general reports but one is still available. Of the 62 bulletins only 13 may now be had. Two new bulletins are now in press.

Of the general reports but one is still available. Of the 62 bulletins only 13 may now be had. Two new bulletins are now in press. The fact that so few of the Mining bureau publications are now available indicates clearly the favorable estimate of their value held by the public. From almost every county in the State has come the repeated demand for a resumption of the publication of the general reports, similar to the first 13 issued by the State mining bureau, from 1880 to 1896. Experience has shown that reports of that character are what the people of the State want. They were practical, complete and useful. In fact, there is no State institution more useful in the character of its work; more practical in its application, or more worthy of the support of our legislators, than the State mining bureau. The bureau has done excellent work in the past, and is now better equipped to do useful work than ever before. All that is needed is a suitable appropriation. The estimate of the bureau's needs made by the State mineralogist and endorsed by the board of trustees of the mining bureau for the next two years calls for only $135,000. Compare this with the million and a half recommended by the board of control for the agricultural and horticultural interests. It is time the miner and his rights were recognized.

IN AND ABOUT THE CITY For Family Allowance An order was made in the superior court at Santa Ana on Monday granting to Therese Goodman, widow of the late Joseph Goodman, the sum of $500 monthly as family allowance out of the estate. Petition Filed A. E. Bennett of Tustin has petitioned for letters of administration on the estate of Mrs. Mary A. Vandermeulen, who died on December 23. The estate is valued at $40,000, consisting largely of notes. The heir is a daughter, Mrs. Richtje V. Bennett, wife of the petitioner. Scarborough & Forgy are attorneys for Bennett. $1,000,000 For Fair The Board of Supervisors has received a communication from the California Counties Exposition Committee asking the board to endorse the proposal of the convention of county supervisors of California to have the legislature pass a measure appropriating $1,000,000 to build a state building for the 1915 exposition, in which the counties may have exhibits. Bob Squires' Estate Mrs. Mary J. Squires has petitioned for letters of administration on the estate of Robert Squires, under sheriff who was killed on December 16. The estate consists of four lots and buildings and transfer equipment at Santa Ana, and two lots and ten acres in Stanislaus county, altogether valued at $7,000. The heirs are the widow and five children. The widow petitions for a family allowance of $50 a month. Clyde Bishop is attorney for the petitioner. Squires left no will. Fullerton Asks $70,000 School Bonds At a conference at Fullerton one evening recently it was decided to launch a movement to hold a bond election in that school district for a few changes in boundaries County Superintendent of Schools Mitchell expects but few changes in school boundaries to be asked this year. Last year numerous changes were made. This year but two petitions have been received, one asking that Sunset Beach be taken from Springdale district and put in Huntington Beach, and one that a part of Yorba district be put in Yorba Linda district. Petitions for changes must be in the hands of the county school superintendent by January 20. Wants What's Coming Anna Rothfuss has filed suit in the superior court in Santa Ana against Christian Rothfuss and Mina Rothfuss to recover the sum of $1,600, being the amount of a judgment given plaintiff by the Los Angeles court against Christian Rothfuss. Plaintiff also asks that the transfer of certain stocks and real property from Christian Rothfuss to Mina Rothfuss be declared fraudulent and that both defendants be restrained from disposing of any of their property pending settlement of the action. Plaintiff is the former wife of Christian Rothfuss and Mina Rothfuss is his present wife, plaintiff having been divorced from him. According to the complaint, a judgment for $1,600 was secured by plaintiff against Rothfuss in Los Angeles county. Powell Will Uphold Tariff G. Harold Powell, general manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, and member of the special committee appointed by the Citrus Protective League to appear on behalf of citrus growers at the congressional hearing in Washington January 20, left for the East on the California limited Saturday morning. With the exception of a brief stop in Chicago he will go direct to Washington. He took with him a large amount of data bearing on the proposed action by Congress affecting the American citrus industry, and will have the way paved for the most effective lines of the Pacific Electric Railway in Southern California. Among the larger items enumerated in the application are the following: Improvements Riverside-Colton-San Bernardino line, $408,000; San Bernardino extension, $1,424,000; Santa Ana-Orange line, $64,000; Lankershim extension, $236,000; Hawthorne-El Segundo line, $161,000; Redohdo Beach, $175,000; Whittier La Habra line, $105,000. Recall to Be Recalled The dogs of war have been called off as far as Orange county justices of the peace are concerned. Particularly that that have been on the trail of Justice Fullerton of Orange, against whom a recall was started. The friends of Justice Cox of Santa Ana, who stirred up the storm by appealing to the grand jury to keep Justices Landell of Capistrano and Fullerton of Orange on their own reservation, so that they could not cut into the Santa Ana justice's marrying business, have laid down their arms, and it is said will recall the recall movement. When the grand jury proposed to take the marriage fees away from all justices, thereby cutting into Justice Cox's salary some $1,200 per year, there was an immediate lull in the hostilities. After Justice Cox had declared that it couldn't be done, his friends decided to withdraw the complaint, and the situation now stands as it did before the battle. As to the recall in Orange, it is stated that it also will be withdrawn. W. N. Paine has been "shoving" the petition in that city, but it is stated that the movement was not warmly received and will be dropped. Fullerton Asks $70,000 School Bonds At a conference at Fullerton one evening recently it was decided to launch a movement to hold a bond election in that school district for a bond issue of $70,000. It is proposed to build a grammar school building of 12 or 14 rooms. The present grammar school building is not in good condition, and the Fullerton school authorities believe it should not be used much longer in its present condition. County Superintendent of Schools Mitchell of Santa Ana attended the conference and took part in the discussion. Contract Let For Water System The Fullerton City Trustees have let the contract for the construction of the distributing system of the municipal water works to C. D. Vinson of San Francisco, for $44,405.33. The successful bidder will furnish all material and agrees to complete the system in 125 days. Converse lockjoint pipe of 1/8 inch thickness, dipped and coated, will be used. In making estimates, $45,000 was reserved by the city for distributing system. The remainder of the $80,000 will be spent in drilling water wells, for the pumping system and for the reservoir. The distributing system includes five hydrants. Law Appointed Chief Deputy Sheriff Ruddock this week appointed George C. Law of Santa Ana, as chief deputy in his office to succeed Robert Squires, who was killed by a desperado on December 16. Law has been actively engaged in work as an officer for about two years. Previous to his residence in Orange county, for 14 years he was engaged in contract work on Mexican railroads, and he has a thorough knowledge of the language and ways of the Mexicans. He has proven of great value in Mexican criminal cases in this county. For months he has been interpreter in the local superior and justice courts. Former Slave Discharged A charge of white slavery, preferred against Wesley Bruyn, last week, in a Whittier court, by Mrs. Smith, mother of Goldie Smith, who, together with Bruyn's sister, Stella Bruyn, it is alleged, were sold into white slavery, was dimissed because of insufficient evidence. Bruyn, it was alleged, sold the girls to a Mexican saloonkeeper, change, and member of the special committee appointed by the Citrus Protective League to appear on behalf of citrus growers at the congressional hearing in Washington January 20, left for the East on the California limited Saturday morning. With the exception of a brief stop in Chicago he will go direct to Washington. He took with him a large amount of data bearing on the proposed action by Congress affecting the American citrus industry, and will have the way paved for the most effective presentation of the arguments by the league's committee when its members appear before the ways and means committee of the house to argue that no reduction be made on the tariff on imports of citrus fruits. Fire at Santa Ana A fire at noon Saturday did about $1,200 damage to E. R. Curtiss's apartment house. Miss Story, who, with her mother, occupies one apartment, left a hot electric iron on a shelf. The iron burned through the wall of an air-cooled closet, and in an instant the suction had carried flames to the attic. The wind was strong from the northwest. The firemen quickly got the flames under control. Feliciano Hernandez on Saturday paid $100 fine and was given a suspended sentence of seven months in the county jail after he had pleaded guilty to selling liquor in no-license territory. Residents of Sunset Beach have petitioned the supervisors to have their locality transferred from the Springdale school district, so that children may have less trouble getting to school. Electric Railway Extensions The Pacific Electric Company of Los Angeles applied this week to the State Railroad Commission for permission to issue refunding mortgage 50-year gold bonds to the amount of $7,034,000. The application says that the company proposes to apply the proceeds from the sale of the bonds to an extensive system of improvements and development work. An expenditure of $6,585,682 is proposed for the improvements. Against this amount the company already has issued bonds to the amount of $930,348, leaving a balance against which it now desires to issue bonds of $5,655,333. The projected improve- No. 2 Lumber Sale Former Slaver Discharged A charge of white slavery, preferred against Wesley Bruyn, last week, in a Whittier court, by Mrs. Smith, mother of Goldie Smith, who, together with Bruyn's sister, Stella Bruyn, it is alleged, were sold into white slavery, was dimissed because of insufficient evidence. Bruyn, it was alleged, sold the girls to a Mexican saloonkeeper, who in turn sent them to Imperial Valley. The girls were picked up in Imperial Valley a few days ago. The case of both girls has been referred to the Juvenile Court of Los Angeles, as both are minors. A date has not yet been set for the investigation by Judge Wilbur. The girls are said to be former residents of this county. Arrested on Felony Charge E. C. Collins of Orange was arrested on Thursday by City Marshal Warner on a felony charge. The arrest was made upon a telegram received by the district attorney from J. D. King, sheriff at Clinton, Mo. The information received by the city marshal is to the effect that Collins is charged with mistreating a 14-year-old girl. Collins emphatically declares that he is innocent and that he is being made a target by the girl's father, who is a tenant upon a farm owned by Collins' father. Collins has been in Orange county about four months, and has been engaged as a fumigator. He has a wife, aged about 20, and a 3-year-old son, who are living with him at Orange. He is about 28 years old. He says that he will go home to face his accusers and is confident that he will clear himself of the charge. M. W.
