VALUE OF STATE'S METALS OVER $26,000,000 INCREASE OF OVER ONE AND A QUARTER MILLIONS DURING THE PAST YEAR ONE THOUSAND AND FORTY-ONE METAL MINING PROPERTIES DOING BUSINESS IN 1912 The mine output of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc in California in 1912, according to Charles G. Yale, was valued at $26,383,946, an increase of $1,209,269 over the corresponding value for the year 1911. The increase is due mainly to a gain in yield of gold from deep mines, increased value from copper and silver, and increased output of zinc. The greatest gain was in the value of copper and was due to an advance in commercial value of the metal, as the quantity produced was materially less in 1912 than in 1911. To a less degree the same may be said of silver; and the zinc quantities and values also increased. The mine production of gold in 1912 was valued at $19,713,478, a nominal decrease of $25,430 from 1911. The output of silver was 1,300,136 fine ounces, valued at $799,584, an increase of 29,691 ounces in quantity and of $126,248 in value. The production of copper was 33,451,672 pounds, valued at $5,519,526, a decrease of 2,864,464 pounds in quantity but an increase of $980,009 in value. The output of lead was 1,144,731 pounds, valued at $51,-512 which is a decrease of 252,380 was $6.71 a ton, against $5.49 a ton in 1911 and $6.71 a ton in 1910. At gold and silver mills in California in 1912 the tonnage milled was 2,077,300 short tons, yielding $10,371,347 in gold and 307,306 ounces of silver, valued at $188,993, or an average value in gold and silver of $5.08 a ton, compared with $4.64 in 1911 and $5.25 in 1910. Of this average value $4.17 was recovered as bullion in batteries and on plates in mills. The smelting ores, 456,735 tons, produced all the copper and zinc and practically all the lead, as well as 955,067 fine ounces of silver, valued at $587,366, and $592,532 in gold. There were also treated 107,462 tons of old tailings, yielding $103,936 in gold, an average of 96 cents a ton, and $1,298 in silver, an average of 1 cent a ton. The placers of California in 1912 yielded $8,645,663 in gold and 35,652 ounces of silver, valued at $21,926, a decrease of $339,895 from the placer output of 1911. The hydraulic mines showed an increase of gold output of $14,196, the dredges a decrease of $236,506, the drift mines a decrease of $91,908, and the surface placers a decrease of $26,646 in gold. The placers produced 43.86 per cent of the total gold yield of the state and the deep mines 56.14 per cent. The dredges produced 37.68 per cent of the entire output of gold in the state in 1912 and 85.93 per cent of the placer gold. The total gold-dredge output of California from 1899, when only $206,302 was produced, has been $55,415,191, including the $7,429,951 obtained from this source in 1912.

The production of copper was 33,451,672 pounds, valued at $5,519,526, a decrease of 2,864,464 pounds in quantity but an increase of $980,009 in value. The output of lead was 1,144,731 pounds, valued at $51-512, which is a decrease of 253,380 pounds in quantity and of $11,403 in value. The output of zinc was 4,345-591 pounds, valued at $299,846, an increase for the year 1912 of 1,538,556 pounds in quantity and $139,845 in value. There were 1,041 metal-mining properties reported productive in 1912, of which 532 were deep mines and 509 placerers of various kinds. This shows a total decrease of 140 producing mines in 1912. There were 470 deep gold mines, 12 silver, 24 copper, 25 silver-lead-zinc, and 1 zinc. Of the placer producers 141 were hydraulic mines, 65 dredges, 146 drift, and 157 surface or sluicing mines. There were 64 deep and 76 less placerers producing in 1912 than in 1911. The deep mines of California produced 2,641,497 tons of ore in 1912, a decrease of 155,764 tons. Of this output, 2,225,429 tons was siliceous ore, 408,622 tons copper ore, 974 tons lead ore, and 6,472 tons zinc ore. The siliceous ore output decreased 70,918 tons, the copper ore decreased 85,659 tons, the lead ore decreased 1,034 tons, and the zinc ore increased 1,847 tons. The total average value from all ore sold or treated in California in 1912 "How Did The Bird Know that" Quality drugs at fair prices—this is the store for you. THOMAS BEGINS WITH A PRAYER New Superior Judge Requests His Pastor to Ask the Lord's Help William H. Thomas was on Monday sworn in as judge of the Superior Court. The occasion was accompanied by unusual ceremonies. Mr. Thomas addressed those present, and upon his request Rev. J. A. Stevenson, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, in the Sunday school of which Judge Thomas is a teacher, led in prayer. Eight or ten were present when County Clerk Williams administered the oath. "As the first function to be performed by me as judge," said Judge Thomas. "I am going to ask our fellow citizen, my warm, close and personal friend, my pastor, the Rev. J. A. Stevenson, to lead us in prayer, asking the blessing of that God whose help I have invoked in taking the oath, and for the guidance, care and protection and that wisdom that comes from on high, that I may transact and perform those duties and carry out the obligations of this high and responsible position in such a way that my light may so shine before men that they seeing my good works, may glorify my Father, who is in heaven." Rev. Stevenson invoked the blessings of the Almighty upon the work to be done by Judge Thomas. Superior Judge Z. B. West, whose associate Judge Thomas becomes, congratulated the new judge highly commended his work as an attorney, and welcomed him to the bench. In his remarks, Judge Thomas emphasized the solemnity of a legal oath, whether taken by one entering upon an office or by a witness entering the witness-stand. UNDERGROUND WATERS "Underground Waters for Farm Use," has again been reprinted to meet the wide demand from all farming and suburban sections of the country. This Water Supply Paper (No. 255) explains in simple language the habits of flow of underground waters through total gold-dredge output of California from 1899, when only $206,302 was produced, has been $55,415,191, including the $7,429,951 obtained from this source in 1912.

UNDERGROUND WATERS "Underground Waters for Farm Use," has again been reprinted to meet the wide demand from all farming and suburban sections of the country. This Water Supply Paper (No. 255) explains in simple language the habits of flow of underground waters through different kinds of rocks and soils, and calls attention to the dangerous character of many wells whose waters are supposed to be pure and wholesome. Water from limestone rock especially, it is stated, is apt to contain germs of typhoid or other disease, due to the fact that surface waters may find their way directly into underground channels which have been cut out through the dissolution of the lime. Methods of protection from subsurface drainage in farming districts are discussed in the report, well-drilling methods and cost, types of curbs and well casings with which wells should be fitted, etc. The report embraces only about 50 pages, but is well illustrated with photographs and diagrams. Friday afternoon Justice Cox held a preliminary examination in the case of Joe Carrisosa of Anaheim, charged will selling beer at Myford in violation of the Wylie local option law, which covers the fifth supervisoral district outside incorporated cities. Constable Jackson, who arrested Carrisosa, had witnesses to the sale of the liquor. Carrisosa was held to answer for trial in the superior court on $500 bail. The offense is a high misdemeanor and cannot be tried in the justice court. According to the estimate county highway engineers for building 4.34 miles off from Huntington Beach Rogers Bros.

En reported that the Los Angeles and Construction Company of $11,497, is low for the IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Judge Thomas' First Case Friday the first case was set down for Department 2 of the Superior Court. It is the action of the people against the City of Orange for an injunction to compel Orange from disposing of its sewage in a manner offensive to residents of West Orange. The case is set for October 20. The newly-appointed judge, W. H. Thomas, has not yet received his commission. The Orange case may never come to trial, as Orange is putting in a new system of sewage disposal. Everybody Busy Agricultural activity in this section is at this time the most remarkable ever experienced. In the sugar beet fields, where harvesting is going on, in the celery fields, where the coming crop shows that the season will be prosperous, and in the threshing of the big lima bean crop, hundreds of laborers are employed, so that the country roads and lanes are crowded and have the appearance of city streets in their hurry and bustle: Fully twenty carloads of sugar beets a day are going out from a single beet dump and in content and tonnage the crop is a record-breaker. The hot weather of the past few days has been little felt here, and has in no way affected the crops. Division of Labor by Judges William H. Thomas received his commission as judge of the Superior Court of Orange county on Saturday following his appointment last Wednesday by Governor Johnson. Thomas was sworn in Monday, and temporarily will use the room of the board of supervisors as a court room. He and Superior Judge Z. B. West held a conference, and it was agreed between them that all criminal, probate, insanity and naturalization matters shall be reinforced concrete bridge on the Talbert road across the Santa Ana river. The Russell-Greene-Foell Company bid $11,877; F. K. Lowry, $13,297; E. T. Wheeler, $13,800; Mercereau Bridge and Construction Company, $14,585. The bridge will be five spans and will be 300 feet long. It is only a matter of time until nearly every important bridge in the county will be built of concrete. The West Fifth-street bridge has just been finished at a cost of $62,000. Plans are under consideration for a fine bridge at Olive, to be of reinforced concrete. Prosperous Wintersburg With the beet harvest now at its height, the bean crop ready for threshing and the cultivating of what promises to be a fine crop of celery, this section presents one of the most active stages in its history at Wintersbur. The fields are fairly alive with men working on the different crops and the roads thereabouts present a sight more like a circus parade than a country scene, so heavy is the beet hauling at the present time. From 14 cars upward the daily shipment of sugar beets from this point continues steadily, all factories in the county receiving some share of the crop. With the beets now about half harvested and delivered to the different factories, returns indicate that this season is to be a banner and a record one. Both in sugar content and tonnage, high marks are being made by all growers, and if the latter half of the crop holds up to the standard of that delivered, it will be a joyous year for all growers. While the bean crop will not be up to that of some past years, a fair-sized crop and one of good quality is promised. He Wasn't a Burglar Under Sheriff G. C.

Thomas received his commission as judge of the Superior Court of Orange county on Saturday following his appointment last Wednesday by Governor Johnson. Thomas was sworn in Monday, and temporarily will use the room of the board of supervisors as a court room. He and Superior Judge Z. B. West held a conference, and it was agreed between them that all criminal, probate, insanity and naturalization matters shall be assigned to Department No. 1, which is Judge West's department, and all civil actions, law and motion and juvenile matters to Department No. 2, which will be the new judge's department. A portion of the second floor of the court house will be remodeled. The new court room will be in the office formerly occupied by the county surveyor, and probably the chambers will be in the sheriff's present office. The surveyor's office is now in the basement. Bean Crop Is Short That beans in the Carpinteria Valley will not make more than half a crop in many cases, and at best not more than a three-fourths crop, is the opinion of growers there. This is due both to the lack of moisture in the ground and to the lack of the heavy, dripping fogs such as usually bring them to maturity. The red spider, also, has caused a great deal of damage in many fields, sapling the life of the plants. Some growers are planning to spray for the spider next year, since the spraying of lemon orchards for the pest has produced such good results. Walnut growers report that the crop will be plentiful, but the nuts will be small, showing an unusually large number of second-grade nuts. The picking is now under way. It is thought the price may reach 15 cents a pound. Coast Boulevard Discussed The semi-monthly meeting of the Southcoast Improvement Association was held in Newport Beach Wednesday evening, being well attended by the executive officers and directors and a number of invited guests. Many matters of importance were considered, among them being the matter of the coast boulevard from Naples to Balboa, upon which work is progressing rapidly, and which will soon connect Los Angeles by automobile passageway with all the towns south to Balboa. It was decided not to join the movement for a request for a general reduction of rates over the P. E., but a movement to ask that the round trip rate to Balboa be made the year round. He Wasn't a Burglar Under Sheriff G. C. Law went gunning for a burglar Wednesday night. Instead of landing upon a burglar he shoved a revolver, with which he killed a burglar ten months ago, almost into the face of a young man who was making love to the young man's best girl. Wednesday night Mrs. S. P. Freeman telephoned to Law that she had seen one at the home of her brothers, Norman Hoyle, who is visiting in England, and she felt certain the house was being burglarized. Straightway Law buckled on his shooting irons and went to the place. He slipped up to the side porch and peered over the rail. Suddenly a man's head was lifted in front of him. Quick as a flash Law had him covered. Had Law been talkative he might have said, melodramatically, "Ah ha, my burglar, I have you!" Just then Law heard a gentle scream and looking past the man he saw a girl sitting upon the steps. Instantly Law realized that he had disturbed a couple of lovers, telling the old, old story to each other. He put up his revolver and advised them to seek some other place for their love-making. High School Board Not Guilty It took a jury but a few minutes to bring in a verdict of not guilty against W. J. Travers, L. P. Dranke, J. G. Launer, W. L. Hale and L. B. Steward, trustees of the Fullerton Union High school. These men, all well known, whose loyalty to the Stars and Stripes has never been questioned, were charged with having failed to fly the flag over the school buildings as required by law. Edwin Stone, the janitor, was a witness. He said a flag was displayed in the study hall, but none was flown over the buildings until June 23. O. P. Knowlton, a G. A. R. veteran, the complainant, Ernest Edwards and Principal Delbert Brunton testified. The defense admitted the testimony of the prosecution, but showed that in building the new school and getting the grounds cleared up the erection of a flagpole was delayed. After the pole was up there was a delay awaiting the setting of the cement. The board was cognizant of the law, but did the best it could under the circumstances. The jury evidently took the ground that while the board was the executive officers and directors and a number of invited guests. Many matters of importance were considered, among them being the matter of the coast boulevard from Naples to Balboa, upon which work is progressing rapidly, and which will soon connect Los Angeles by automobile passageway with all the towns south to Balboa. It was decided not to join the movement for a request for a general reduction of rates over the P. E., but a movement to ask that the round trip rate to Balboa be made the year round for 75 cents, was favored. Condemnation of the attempt on the life of General Harrison Gray Otis was heard on all sides and resolutions bearing on the same were adopted without a dissenting vote. Bridge Contracts Let According to the estimates of the county highway engineers, the low bid for building 4.34 miles of road north from Huntington Beach is that of Rogers Bros. Company of Los Angeles. That firm bid $16,294.17. Other bids received were: M-R Company, $17,268.15; Crandall Construction Company, $17,416.60; Conners Contracting Company, $17,618.92; George S. Benson & Sons, $17,701.30; Taylor & Berliner, $18,106.85; J. S. Hilend, $18,829.96; Wiegand & Moore, $18,962.48; F. K. Lowry, $19,667.83; Cox & Mathaws, $20,821.08; W. A. Dontanville, $21,674.44; Brashier-Burns Company, $21,954.61. The contract will be let by the Board of Supervisors on September 23, to the lowest bidder. This will make the fifth contract let under the good roads work in this county, in which over $1,500,000 will be spent in the next two years. Engineers have reported that the Los Angeles Bridge and Construction Company, with a bid of $11,497, is low for the building of a complainant, Ernest Edwards and Principal Delbert Brunton testified. The defense admitted the testimony of the prosecution, but showed that in building the new school and getting the grounds cleared up the erection of a flagpole was delayed. After the pole was up there was a delay awaiting the setting of the cement. The board was cognizant of the law, but did the best it could under the circumstances. The jury evidently took the ground that while the board was technically guilty, it had not shown any disrespect for the flag and did not intend that the school should continue without having a flag flying during sessions. THE SOURCE OF SUPPLY One of our citizens is going to build a house this fall. He expects to buy the lumber and other material in Los Angeles and the furniture somewhere else. The paint also he will buy by mail. He doesn't expect to buy anything in this town. All he expects this town to furnish is the money to pay for the stuff. He is one of those fellows who believe it is more blessed to receive than to give. He believes that the acceptance of a thing carries with it no obligation to reciprocate. He thinks it is entirely right that the town should support him, but entirely wrong that he should be expected to help support the town. When he asks you to stop a moment to admire his new house you might also stop a moment longer to admire his gall. There is one consolation: He will probably get stung.
