MINING INDUSTRY OF CALIFORNIA IN 1915 GREATER ACTIVITY DURING FIRST SIX MONTHS THAN CORRESPONDING PERIOD LAST YEAR HEAVY DEMAND FOR CHROME, TUNGSTEN, MAGNESITE, MAN-GANESE, ANTIMONY ETC. There has been much greater activity in the mining industry in California for the first six months of the year, as compared with the conditions in the first half of 1915, but it has been largely in the direction of the re-opening of old properties which have been idle for years. Mr. Chas. G. Yale of the United States Geological Survey, reports that the United States Mint at San Francisco, and local smelters and refiners are in receipt of $366,000 less California gold, and 22,000 more ounces of silver, in the first five months of 1916, than in the corresponding period of 1915. Aside from the gold, silver, copper and lead mining industries of California, there has been thus far in 1916 a heavy demand for such mineral substances as chrome, tungsten, magnesite, manganese, antimony, etc., and a great many mines of this character have been opened and are shipping. For the first time in history many of these mines are shipping crude material to the Eastern seaboard by rail, the high prices now permitting this. but idle since 1898, is being reopened by a new company. In Butte county, at Forbestown, the Gold Bank, Golden Queen and Shakespeare, formerly producers, have been sold to Salt Lake men, who will reopen them. In the southern counties of the state, notably in the desert regions of Inyo, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, there is a distinct revival of mining activity, largely brought about through the adoption of auto trucks for delivery of ore to railroad stations for shipment to reduction works. The gold dredging industry of the state continues in a flourishing condition. The dredge product 86 per cent of the placer gold of California, and 38 per cent of the total gold yield. The larger companies have been adding new machines to their equipment, and these are invariably of great capacity, several costing over half a million dollars each. The new dredge of the Natomas Consolidated in the Folsom district, designed to restore ground to its natural condition after dredging, permitting its use for agriculture has demonstrated its efficiency. Extensive areas of placer ground near Redding have been bonded and are being prospected for dredging. Over 1,500 acres of dredging ground along the Trinity river from Lewiston to Poker Bar have been acquired by capitalists, and one dredge will be in operation this summer and 2 more next year. Dredge machinery from Ohio, for the dredge near Carrville, Trinity county, amounting to 2,000 tons, is being hauled from the R. R. at Redding, 62 miles into the mountains, 300 mules being used in the hauling work. The largest dredge in the world has been completed and set at work on the Yuba river, near Hammonton. It is the fifteenth dredge of the Yuba Cons. Goldfields. The Pacific Dredging company is building a very large dredge near Smartsville, Yuba county, on ground extending along the Yuba and Bear rivers, and several other dredges are planned in the district not far from the holdings of the Yuba Goldfields. The Oro Water, Light and Power company is arranging to construct a third dredge in the Mokelumne river near Comanche, Calaveras county, extensive quantities of pay gravel have been found outside the main property of the Containing not absolute alcohol; 14 to 21 per cent gallon; 21 to 24 grape brandy or fortifying wines.

TREASURER COORDINATORS Eight Million Dollars Tax D On July 3 State ardson began collection of the state franc amounts to near lars. The franchise state board of rolls are kept by who sends out to The corporation not be confused with tax. The licensee the secretary of finances for this tr Six weeks' time to collect this money announces that he mand gold, but whilers' checks, cere money orders. Aside from the gold, silver, copper and lead mining industries of California, there has been thus far in 1916 a heavy demand for such mineral substances as chrome, tungsten, magnesite, manganese, antimony, etc., and a great many mines of this character have been opened and are shipping. For the first time in history many of these mines are shipping crude material to the Eastern seaboard by rail, the high prices now permitting this. There has been no noticeable increase thus far this year in the number of productive gold mines in the state. During the first half of 1916 there has been greater gold mining activity in the Mother Lode counties of the state than has been the case for a long period. These five counties produced 61 per cent of the annual California output of siliceous ore. The older active mines are all doing well. In the Kennedy at the bottom of the 3900-foot vertical shaft they are working a large body of profitable ore, and are sinking 100 feet more. The Argonaut, adjoining, has at a vertical depth of 3300 feet a body of $13 ore—very exceptional value for a Mother Lode mine. Ore yielding over $1,000 per ton is being taken out of an 18-inch vein at 1,600 foot depth in the Gold Cliff, part of the property of the Utica Mining company in Calaveras county. In the same county the Melones is in excellent ore. Very high grade ore is being taken from the mine of the Calaverus Development company, near Mountain Ranch. The most noteworthy feature of the situation in the Mother Lode counties is that a number of the old mines, long idle, are being unwatered and reopened, this being brought about by the success of the deeper mines which have continued work. At Sutter creek, Amador county, the old Eureka or Hetty Green mine, a famous producer 30 or 40 years ago, is being reopened by a strong company, and extensive operations have been inaugurated. The Onelda mine, closed down for years, has been put in shape, and part of the stamps are running on ore from the mine. The Poundstone mine in the same district is being unwatered. The old Wildman & Mahoney properties in which are three shafts, and very extensive workings, and which have been idle for years are being reopened by a new company. On the Zella mine, Jackson, some time idle, a new shaft is being sunk to facilitate working good ore opened by long drifts from the old workings. The Argonaut is building a new 40-stamp mill, and a large reservoir for storage of tailings behind a concrete dam, 400 feet long and 40 feet high. The Amador Star, at Plymouth, has been reopened this year and a new vein of satisfactory ore found. In Calaveras county, a company has been formed to develop the Thorne mine of Fourth Grade which set at work on the Yuba River, near Hammonton. It is the fifteenth dredge of the Yuba Cons. Goldfields. The Pacific Dredging company is building a very large dredge near Smartsville, Yuba county, on ground extending along the Yuba and Bear rivers, and several other dredges are planned in the district not far from the holdings of the Yuba Goldfields. The Oro Water, Light and Power company is arranging to construct a third dredge in the Mokelumne river near Comanche, Calaveras county, extensive quantities of pay gravel have been found outside the main property of the company. Several small dredges have been put on outside ground in the mountain region this year. Hydraulic mining has not been very active outside of Trinity and Skiskyou counties, but some new mines have started up in central California. A merger of hydraulic mining interests is being made in the State creek district, Sierra county and extensive work is contemplated, under the supervision of the California debris commission. A mammoth restraining dam is to be put across Slate creek, which will permit, when completed hydraulic operations at Scales, Port Wine, Whiskey Diggings, Gibsonville, La Porte and other famous old camps, long idle. A revival of drift mining along the Magallia ridge in Butte county, has brought about numerous changes, and the opening of old properties. The Old South Fork property, on Oregon creek Sierra county, is now continuing the 6000 feet of bedrock tunnel to try and reach the channel in the extension of the famous old Bald Mountain drift mine. Copper mining in the state has been very active in 1916, owing to the high price of the metal. The larger companies have increased miners' wages in the form of a bonus while electrolytic copper sells at 20 cents a pound or over. A number of new copper properties have been opened in Trinity, Skiskyou, Plumas, Madera and other northern counties, as well as in several of the southern counties of the state. The Engels Copper company in Plumas county is using the flotation process to concentrate its ore before shipment to Nevada smelters. The Calaveras Copper company, near Copperolis, has increased the capacity of its flotation plant. The Bunker Hill copper mine, near Auburn, Placer county, which shipped ore to Swansea, Wales, 52 years ago, and has since idle, has been opened this year. ARE YOUR KIDNEYS WELL?

Williams, contracting painter, South and Lemon Sts., Anaheim, says: "I think the turpentine fumes is what affected my kidneys and caused kidney complaint. I could hardly climb a ladder, because of sharp pains, which caught me in the region of my kidneys. I had frequent desire to pass the kidney secretions and they burned in passage. On a friend's advice, I tried Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from Mullinix's Drug Store. They cured the back ache and regulated the action of my kidneys." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Williams had. Foster-Millburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. NEW WINE SCHEDULE The entire California congressional delegation met Friday and considered the wine schedule in the new revenue bill. This schedule provides the following tax on California wines: ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1916 Containing not more than 14 per cent absolute alcohol, 4 cents per gallon; 14 to 21 per cent alcohol, 10 cents per gallon; 21 to 24 per cent, 25 cents; on grape brandy or wine spirits used in fortifying wines 10 cents per gallon. The schedule is not satisfactory to California wine growers or to the California congressmen, the wine growers wanting a 3 cent tax on their products containing less than 14 per cent alcohol. The congressmen, after several hours' discussion, adjourned without deciding upon a course of action. But it was tentatively understood that no fight will be made on the schedule as it is realized that the democratic majority in the house will be able to jam the revenue bill through regardless of protests from any source. It is probable, however, that the California representatives will offer amendments reducing the tax. TREASURER COLLECTING CORPORATION TAXES Eight Million Dollars of Franchise Tax Due July 3 On July 3 State Treasurer Richardardson began collecting the first half of the state franchise tax, which amounts to nearly eight million dollars. The franchise tax is levied by the state board of equalization and the rolls are kept by the state controller, who sends out the official receipts. The corporation license tax should not be confused with the franchise tax. The license tax is collected by the secretary of state and all remittances for this tax are made to him. Six weeks' time is allowed in which to collect this money. The treasurer announces that he has the right to demand gold, but will accept drafts, cashiers' checks, certified checks and money orders. OLIVE WILL VOTE ON THURSDAY, AUG. 7 SUPERVISORS GRANT PETITION FOR PROTECTION DISTRICT FIX DATE OF ELECTION $750 SET APART FOR FIRE PROTECTION IN THE CLEVELAND NATIONAL FOREST Election for the formation of a protection district for Olive and West Orange will be held on Monday, August 7.

Hamilton of Artesia is making an attempt to solve the surface drainage problem, which, if successful, will revolutionize the methods hitherto in use. The experiment is being tried on the Los Vega rancho. A concrete cylinder sixteen feet high and fourteen feet in diameter was constructed on a site near the dairy barns. Great care was taken to build a perfect structure. When completed it was allowed to dry out thoroughly. Then it was sunk into the ground to the depth of sixteen feet so as to form the lining walls of a pit which was excavated by hydraulic means. Sand, gravel and hardpan were encountered and the task was difficult, but the cylinder is this week in place and the work of laying a concrete bottom will begin soon. When completed there will be a warrant for $300 on the advertising fund for advertising Orange county at the Santa Ana chamber of commerce. The application of David Hewes Realty Co., to lay pipe lines across county roads, was granted. The application of Pacific Tel. & Tel. Co., to make excavation in county road, was granted. The application of Westminster drainage district to construct ditches along county roads in said district, was granted, provided that said roads are 60 feet wide. The petition of A. Osborne, et al, to vacate highway in Buena Park road district, was granted. I. D. Jaynes, constable of Buena Park township, was given a leave of absence from the state for 60 days. The sum of $750 was set apart to the U.S. Forest service for fire protection in the Cleveland national forest, provided that a like amount can be raised. Helen Craemer was appointed statistician to prepare the annual report of the financial transactions of the county and her salary is fixed at $25 per month. The purchasing agent was directed to have 500 copies of the statistical report for the year ending July 1, 1916, printed for distribution. The map of Tract No. 62 was accepted as the official plotting of said tract. J. M. Backs, deputy county clerk, was given a leave of absence from the state for 30 days.

SUMMONS TO SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT Action brought in the Superior Court On Tuesday, the Fourth, we all went to work for a couple of hours, the tent grounds were thoroughly cleaned of debris and weeds, holes filled up, etc., the play ground was cleaned of weeds, leveled up and the diamond, tennis court and basket ball court laid out, and by 11, the hour for the morning swim, the whole camp presented a clean spick and span appearance that looked good to all of us. To the surprise of many, we had all 98 boys and leaders busy on the job till it was finished. A ball game between the leaders and a picked team from the boys was won by the boys; another following, was won by the leaders. So no one knows which is the strongest team. The baseball and basketball tournaments are starting off with a lot of pep and enthusiasm. One boy has already caught seven good-sized fish, two boys have had to peel potatoes for being ten seconds tardy when the bugle blew for assembly, another boy accidentally allowed a toy pistol to be discharged at a time when that was prohibited and this morning, after an exciting trial before the police court, was sentenced to peel twenty-five spuds. On the afternoon of the Fourth the campers were permitted to shoot off fire crackers of certain sizes and cap pistols, etc. In the evening, after a lively camp fire program of songs, stories and a splendid talk on "Patriotism" by Prof. C. R. Prince, of the Anaheim High School, we had a big display of fireworks from a boat out in the harbor. Every one is well, aside from a few scratches and a bump or two, the boys are responding in admirable style to the requirements of camp life and Great care was taken to build a perfect structure. When completed it was allowed to dry out thoroughly. Then it was sunk into the ground to the depth of sixteen feet so as to form the lining walls of a pit which was excavated by hydraulic means. Sand, gravel and hardpan were encountered and the task was difficult, but the cylinder is this week in place and the work of laying a concrete bottom will begin soon. When completed there will be a watertight pit into which the surface drainage from the barns will be conveyed. A pumping plant is installed which will pump out the pit and the contents will be sent out through the irrigation system over the ranch for fertilizer. The experiment is being watched by the dairymen with much interest and apparently holds the solution of a troublesome problem which has to be faced by many ranchers. Buster Callan, former catcher and manager of the Fullerton team which won the championship of Southern California, is leading the Copper Belt League in stick work, according to a letter received by Peter Hax, of Fullerton.
