MINERAL OUTPUT SHOWS HEAVY INCREASE 1916 TOTAL IN CALIFORNIA MORE THAN THIRTY-ONE MILLION DOLLARS GREATER THAN 1915 FIRST TIME IN STATE'S HISTORY VALUE OF YEAR'S PRODUCT EXCEEDS ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS Bulletin No. 47 issued by the state minibureau, under direction of Fletcher Hamilton, state mineralogist and just received from the printer, shows that mineral output in California during the year, 1916, amounted to $127,901,610 woworth of crude materials. There were 52 different mineral substances, exclusive of a segregation of the various stones grouped under gems and of the 58 counties in the state all but one contributed some mineral product. As compared with the 1915 output, the notable features of 1916 are: the continued increases along those lines which have been stimulated by war conditions; the enormous increase in petroleum valuation though the quantity showed a decrease of nearly a million barrels; and the decrease of over a million dollars in the gold yield. The result is a net increase in the grand total value of $31,238,241 over the 1915 total. This is the first time Sewing silk, was 1½ cents per "reel"; now 15 cents. Machine cotton, was 4 cents per large reel, now 22 cents. Cotton socks for infants, were 72 cents per dozen; now $11.52. Ladies' woolen stockings, were 66 cents; now $3.60. Shoelaces, price 20 times higher than before the war. A little analysis and attention to such news as exists will reveal reasons behind these high prices in addition to the mere cost of raw materials. For one thing, Germany has cut terrible holes in her textile industries by taking men from them for munitions work; another, she has seemingly allowed prices on such things as drygoods to climb without restriction, probably on the theory that this will act as the greatest check on the use of these commodities. Even high prices, however, cannot check all demand, and the price report above quoted adds that "many articles for which customers would gladly pay the high prices demanded, especially sewing cotton, are scarcely obtainable any more." It is not chance that has kept our commodities from soaring to the same extent as the German goods above listed. If ever speculators had a rich field to mow it was when we entered the war. Not only were production, distribution and labor conditions disturbed, but Europe's money was over here for the purchase of her supplies. So, without any of the terrific pressure of war that Germany has felt, even worse condition could easily have prevailed here had there not been some restraining power. This power has been one of the greatest demonstrations of efficiency that democracy has yet had the opportunity to show. Not only have the legislators passed such legislation uses and its bids fair to become one important form of interest to our forests. For waft find pulp converted into Russian soldiers, vein handkerchiefs for theiation of Germany and blankets and clothing piles absorbent substitute for surgical purposes, paper for surgical dresses for splints. "The wood cellulose ed to be in extensive use as a substitute for cotton fabric of gun cotton country wood pulp is making string, fibre boiling solution pipes for electric car wheels, and a thousand other purposes." INSURANCE OF SOIL SAILORS The act which provision life insurance for sailors has now been a little more than a monetary of the treasury and member that up to that periodifications under the new received, representing the sum of $552,093,000 to six thousand applied each day at the parment, the amount owed for sometime size of fifty million dollars. The law provides thursors, marines and nurses vice may obtain from life insurance in amounting $10,000 at premium from 65 cents a month 31 years to $1.20 a month 51 years, for each $1,000. As compared with the 1915 output, the notable features of 1916 are: the continued increases along those lines which have been stimulated by war conditions; the enormous increase in petroleum valuation though the quantity showed a decrease of nearly a million barrels; and the decrease of over a million dollars in the gold yield. The result is a net increase in the grand total value of $31,238,241 over the 1915 total. This is the first time in the history of California that her total mineral yield for a year has passed the one hundred million mark. Of the metals: Copper increased approximately 15,000,000 pounds in quantity and $6,559,450 in value. Gold decreased $1,031,555. Lead, quicksilver, silver and zinc each increased more than a half million in value, while tungsten showed an increase of 150 per cent in quantity and 350 per cent in value, or $3,566,054. Petroleum decreased nearly a million barrels in quantity, but the prices per barrel for all grades were raised so materially that the net result was an increase of $13,917,497 in total value. Decided gains are shown by some of the structural and industrial materials, such as cement, chromite, granite, lime, magnesite and manganese. Of these, magnesite leads with a nearly four-fold increase, of $1,028,432. All of the salines increased, but especially, borax from $1,663,521 to $2,409,375 and potash from $19,391 to $663,605. The figures of the state mining bureau are made up from reports received direct from the producers of the various minerals. Care is exercised in avoiding duplication, and any error is likely to be on the side of under—rather than over—estimation. California yields commercially a greater number and variety of mineral products than any other state in the United States, and probably more than any equal area elsewhere of the earth. Previous to 1916, the total annual value of her output was surpassed by but four other states, they being the great coal and iron producers of east of the Mississippi river. In 1916, because of their enormous increases in copper output, reports indicate that Montana and Arizona have passed California for that year. Of one item, borax, California still remains the sole producer; and until quite recently was also the sole domestic source of chromite and mag- WOOD FOR MANY PURPOSES "Probably at no time in the history of nations have the forests and their products been of such vital importance to man kind as they are today," says Prof. R. C. Bryant of the Yale school of forestry. In the early wars on less than in the present, the forest has played a most prominent part, for the ancient warriors fashioned their bows and cross guns from the products of the forests, built their battering rams, the predecessors of artillery from the trees of the forest; and did not the Greeks capture Troy by means of a wooden horse? Not only have the forests been a source of material for warriors' weapons from time immemorial, but also they have played a most striking part in war maneuvers by providing screens for artillery, troops distribution and labor conditions disturbed, but Europe's money was over here for the purchase of her supplies. So without any of the terrific pressure of war that Germany has felt, even worse condition could easily have prevailed here had there not been some restraining power. This power has been one of the greatest demonstrations of efficiency that democracy has yet had the opportunity to show. Not only have the people's legislators passed such legislation as was needed to enable a great democracy to organize for a special task, but the country's great business men have shown remarkable readiness to start voluntarily from the place where legislation stopped, and carry the whole war service program to a successful conclusion. This has been especially true in the matter of foods. Dealers representing virtually all of this country's food commodities have gone to Washington to attend conferences with the food administration, and the result is accomplishing what Germany said could never be achieved by a democracy—practical and prompt food control through democratic administration. Wartime prices must be higher than peace prices, because labor and distributio n nare disturbed, the demand is abnormal, and production must be stimulated. So we sometimes forget that we have really been greatly blessed by constructive administration till some such striking fact as this German stock report comes before us.

Previous to 1916, the total annual value of her output was surpassed by but four other states, they being the great coal and iron producers of east of the Mississippi river. In 1916, because of their enormous increases in copper output, reports indicate that Montana and Arizona have passed California for that year. Of one item, borax, California still remains the sole producer; and until quite recently was also the sole domestic source of chromite and magnesite. We produce at least 75% of the quicksilver of the United States. For some years, we have been leading all others in gold and platinum, while alternating in the lead with Colorado in tungsten, and with Oklahoma in petroleum. Motor trucks have proven a boon in opening up mineral properties hitherto an unprofitable distance from railroad transportation. The advent and improvement of motor vehicles has induced the building of better roads everywhere, thus benefiting the miners and farmer alike. "IN SPITE OF THE CENSOR" Germany's censors resemble dead men in that they tell no tales." There is little of Germany's drama leaking out to the outside world now. There is one source of news, however, that the censor cannot bottle up and that is the market reports. Here is a price list fresh from Germany showing the tremendous increase in ordinary articles of wear: Ladies' chemises, were $1; now $16. Cloth, pure worsted and gabardine, was 72c yard; now $9.60. Half wool stuff, was 38c a yard, now $5.76. Velvets, were $1.44; now $12. Sateen, was $20; now $2.88. Wash volle, was 13 cents; now $2.88. Warriors fashioned their bows and cross guns from the products of the forests, built their battering rams, the predecessors of artillery from the trees of the forest; and did not the Greeks capture Troy by means of a wooden horse? Not only have the forests been a source of material for warriors' weapons from time immemorial, but also they have played a most striking part in war maneuvers by providing screens for artillery, troops and supplies. "Reliable estimates of the amount of timber which has gone into the shoring up of trenches and dugouts, into the miles and miles of trench side walks and corduroy roads, and into artillery and trench screens are not available, but the quantity, on the hundreds of miles of front surely totals up to several hundreds of millions of feet. On the statement of a French colonel it is learned that as high as 30,000 trees were used daily by a single French army corps. "Wood products are a very important factor entering into the manufacture of munitions, for without charcoal black powder used in such large quantities in explosives, especially in shrapnel, would be denied us. Rosin, a product of our southern yellow pine forests, is used by the thousands of barrels in the manufacturing of shrapnel serving to hold the bullets in position in the explosive shell head. Acetone and alcohol essential to the manufacturing of high propellant explosives are a product of wood distillation, while muriatic acid, sulfuric acid and chloroform are products secured from the refuse of our pulp mills. It may also be a surprise to some that one of the lard substitutes which many housewives use in their kitchen may be and is provided in limited quantities from the wastes of some of our pulp mills. "Wood converted into pulp has..." countless uses and its manufacture bids fair to become one of the most important forms of industry related to our forests. For war purposes we find pulp converted into paper shirts for Russian soldiers, vests, socks and handkerchiefs for the civilian population of Germany and Austria, into blankets and clothing padding, into a sofe absorbent substitute for cotton for surgical purposes, and into tough paper for surgical dressings and boards for splints. "The wood cellulose is also reported to be in extensive use in Germany as a substitute for cotton in the manufacture of gun cotton. In our own country wood pulp is now used for making string, fibre board, chairs, insulation pipes for electrical purposes, car wheels, and a thousand and one other purposes." INSURANCE OF SOLDIERS AND SAILORS The act which provides for government life insurance for soldiers and sailors has now been in operation a little more than a month. The secretary of the treasury announced in November that up to that date 64,168 applications under the new law had been received, representing insurance in the sum of $552,093,000. From four to six thousand applications are received each day at the treasury department, the amount of insurance applied for sometime sreaching a total of fifty million dollars in a single day. The law provides that soldiers, sailors, marines and nurses in active service may obtain from the government life insurance in amounts not exceeding $10,000 at premium rates ranging from 65 cents a month at the age of 31 years to $1.20 a month at the age of 51 years, for each $1,000 of insurance. and sent down from San Francisco are his. He said that he had never been in San Francisco, that he had never been on probation there for pickpocket work. Yet there was his picture. He said he was a guard for President Dlaz when he met President Taft at El Paso, but he was never arrested here before. Judge Thomas ordered that the San Francisco finger print man be sent for. At noon the man told Sheriff Jackson that the record was right. By the time Jackson got him back into court, the man was again protesting he had never been in San Francisco. The case was continued to December 11. FAILURE OF THE U-BOATS Up to the week ending November 4 there have been 885 vessels of more than 1600 tons sent to the depths of the Atlantic by German subs, an average of 23 vessels each week, while the total number of arrivals and departures has been 192,893. No one need lose any sleep over the German submarine, as at the progress made during the 37 weeks shown below, it would require about 75 years to clear the seas of the number of ships now afloat; but if the last week be taken as a basis, it would require more than 100 years. Of course, this is perhaps an unreasonable view of the question, as it would probably not be necessary for the undersea crafts to destroy more than 25 to 50 per cent of the ships now riding the waves to make the submarine blockade effective, and win the war. However, there appears to be but little doubt at this time that the submarine is a lost art so far as being a deciding factor in the world wide conflict is concerned. The table follows: Arrivals Beat Week and Vessels % off In the long run the short and the long bits were supposed to offset each other, but if they did not it was contrary to the easy going spirit of the time to care. There was more than enough margin on everything, any way, and besides, money was then the cheapest and most plentiful thing in California. Finally came the acceptance of the nickel, with its more convenient division of prices. Then came the invasion of Southern California with penny-using easterners, and the invention of penny priced cafeterias. The cafeterias came north, into California, but we spent our penny change for gum at the cashier's desk or took the pennies home for the children to play with. But now come the war taxes at the movies and the mints are working day and night to turn out pennies enough. Soon we shall have them by the millions, and the habit will go with them. The age of the penny is on us to stay. We shall miss the old spirit which despised it, but, seriously, it was always a false spirit, engendered in the pretended liberality of barroom greed. The new way is really better, and we will soon come to realize it. FUEL COMMITTEES Appointments have been made by A. C. Schwabacher of San Francisco, state fuel administrator, completing the federal fuel committees for Santa Ana and Orange county. Last week is was announced that A. J. Crookshank had been appointed as chairman for Santa Ana and A. C. Bowers for the entire county outside of Santa Ana. Monday letters from Schwabacher announced the naming of Attorney R. Y. Williams and County Assessor James Sleeper as additional members of the Santa Ana to six thousand applications are received each day at the treasury department, the amount of insurance applied for sometime sreaching a total of fifty million dollars in a single day. The law provides that soldiers, sailors, marines and nurses in active service may obtain from the government life insurance in amounts not exceeding $10,000 at premium rates ranging from 65 cents a month at the age of 31 years to $1.20 a month at the age of 51 years, for each $1,000 of insurance. One of the primary objects of this law is to lessen the tremendous burden of pension swwhich has followed as a consequence of all American wars. It is evident that the administration of this new branch of government work is a big business in itself. But this is only one of many government activities incident to the war which are adding great numbers of clerks, stenographers, and other servants to Uncle Sam's payroll. Literally thousands of stenographers and typewriters have been appointed in Washington during the past few months and thousands more are to be appointed as soon as they are available. The United States Civil Service Commission is holding examinations for these positions weekly throughout the country. Secretaries of local boards of civil service examiners at the post offices in all cities are furnishing detailed information. $50 REWARD The following men have been posted as deserters, for which the usual reward will be paid for their apprehension: John Russell Brandebury, No. 824 North Sycamore street, Santa Ana; Porfirio Gaxiola, No. 318 East Sycamore street, Anaheim; Lloyd Flythe, Talbert, Cal., Charles Milford McRae, sugar factory Anaheim; Aurelio Gaxiola, No. 318 East Sycamore street, Anaheim; Louis Enz, R.

Williams and County Assessor James Sleeper as additional members of the Santa Ana committee and R. L. Bisby of Santa Ana and F. C. Krause of Anaheim as additional members of the Orange county committee. These committees are instructed to make a survey of fuel and oil conditions throughout the county. Specific instructions will be received from time to time. NEW WAR ENGINE John Cox of Placentia, according to the Courier, has invented and designed a machine that is neither boat, hydroplane nor airplane, and yet partakes of the characteristics of all three besides embodying a principle never yet applied to water transportation. Following instructions from the committee on public information, the Courier refrains from giving any detailed description of the invention. But Mr. Cox's model seem to be scientifically constructed and there appears to be no reason why it should not be all he claims for it, the most important of his claims being a speed of at least 150 miles an hour. Mr. Cox has sent drawings and descriptions to Washington. and will, of course, put his invention at the disposal of the government if it is needed. MARKETS OBSERVE MEATLESS DAY The meat markets of Anaheim will observe every Tuesday as "meatless day" by closing at noon. These markets will have fresh fish, oysters, poultry, lard and cheese to offer on that day, but no fresh or salt meat, will be sold. Kindly phone your order early so that all orders can be delivered before closing time. Signed: ANAHEIM CASH MARKET, By J. E. Stroup, CITY CASH MARKET, By Schneider Bros. PALACE CASH MARKET. R. F. D.

THE NEW EMBLEM The mission bell succeeds the California poppy on the motor license plates for 1918. These distinguishing "discs," which carry numbers corresponding to those on the enameled tags will be issued to the motorists upon the payment of the necessary license fees for next year. The permanent tag system in California soon will enter its third year. This is one of the few states which does not issue entirely new plates annually. California changes only the design of the "disc." The first year the California bear was used. Then came the poppy, resplendent in golden colors. Now it is the mission bell, equally typical of California, and by far the most attractive of the devices yet used. The bell gives the appearance of being bronze, tarnished with age. The numerals "1918" are raised on it and beneath is the space in which is stamped the figures carried by the tag to which it is to be attached. R. Zamarripa, convicted of giving a bad $5 check to Fred Marsh, denied that a picture and finger print brought into court by Deputy Sheriff Maxwell PENNY'S NEW DIGNITY We might as well accept the penny. The fine scorn with which we have proudly regarded the copper cent is a thing of the past. California's numismatic isolation is ended. It bega nin the days of old, the days of gold, when "dust" was our currency and "slugs" it most accurate coinage. It continued through the Civil war and reconstructed times, when the rest of the nation went to depreciated paper and we alone continued business on a gold standard. Since no money was worth gold except gold, and we had the coin, we used it, immediately and physically, instead of paper tokens. The habit has continued and California is now the only part of the United States in which actual gold and silver coins are still the ordinary medium of exchange in the pockets of the people. But paper is already beginning to be common, and we may look, soon, to see it the ordinary money for all sums from a dollar up. The scorn of the penny began also in the large liberality of the older days. When the bar was bank and bourse as well as forum, and the scales at the end of the bar were accurate enough if they weighed the dust within a few "bits" of right, what use was there for infinitesimal units of value? The theoretical unit was the "bit," or 12½ cents, but the only small coins were the dime and the quarter, or "two bits." For convenience, the quarter was divided into two parts, teh long and short bit, of 15 and 10 cents, either of which was accepted as equivalent to the other. If you bought a "bit" cigar and offered a quarter, you got a short bit back, and the cigar cost you 15 cents; but if you offered a dime, that was accepted, too. ANAHEIM CASH MARKET, By J. E.
