Nor is there deanything to indicate other than await posits of greater magnitude that the management within. Indeed, said jlr. McIntyre, the disclosure possesses of those conaH the characteristics tained in the famous stopes in Mammoth territory. The strike is in new pound due north of the main shaft, and a week later active extraction from that source will begin. No less gratifying is a disclosure made on Saturday level,, where five last on the 1,600-foAet of ore was opened up which reveals all kinds of gold rock, while the hast derived from it at the assay furnace was $62.40 gold, some of It running to heights that are delirious. In other spots referred to in the annual report new discoveries have continued to open up, with the possibilities of their developing into larger bodies at any time. The most assuring, at this period, however, is the copper development on the level, the wealth of this to begin to assert Itself in a few days.

Parts The Mining World, in speaking of the oil situation on the coast says: oil Operations in the California fields have been greatly stimulated of late, which was shown by the enormous production of 20.000,000 barrels during the past year, and It is believed that this year will surpass this output by as many barrels ah did last year the previous one. The large production has not, however, stimulated the price to any extent, in fact, it has a tendency to decrease it, but this Is no more than natural. The consumption at the present time does not equal of what the production could be was there a market for It. It is easy to see that the operator cannot look for one dollar oil. . Under present improved conditions, to secure such a price as this there would have to be a greater demand for asphaltum oil than it is palpable to conceive the civilised world could make. Therefore the producer who closes his property with the idea of securing prices similar to those which were in vogue when the oil industry was in its Infancy will probably keep the cap on his well for many years to come. It will be remembered that some two or three years ago when oil was in great demand and capital was pouring into the fields, that most of the product was hauled by mule teams from five to sixty miles across the desert before connections could be made with any of the transcontinental railways, and hence naturally the price per barrel as compared to present figures was enormous. But it had to be. In order to make operations profitable. There Is another fact to bear In mind relative to the Industry, and this is: In the last year the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railway compan'es have acquired their own oil properties, and no longer draw', upon the general oil market for their product. Oil Is transported now from the fields to San Francisco at less than of the cost per barrel that was paid two years ago. All these Important and many minor facts have been the means of reducing the price, hut they have also reduced the price of production, and while the profits are perhaps not as great as in years gone by, they are fair, and the Industry In general is prospering.

Next week we will begin hoisting ore from the ledge from xhlch we are now working through the North Star shaft. This is the ledge the North Star people have been working on the 950 level, and on which we have drifted to our east line. The north cross cut on the 600 has not gone toward very rapidly during the last ten days because of the extremely hard ground. The ore shipments have been a little retarded this week because of a slight derangement of the electrical power.

Silicosis is the latest medical term PPlied to the disease commonly called miners consumption. It is claimed that this common miners complaint Is due largely to dust. The extent to which the disease rages among miners may be shown by the figures recently obtained by a government commission Johannesburg. Out of 1,210 miners examined, 187 or 15.4 per cent, were affected, and 88, or 7.2 per cent, were napected cases. It Is said that fully 11 tar6e a percentage of middle-age- d miner on the Pacific coast suffer from thia malady.

X Eight big fruit trees which have stood on the Star ranch, near Red Bluff, Cal., for nearly fifty years were cut down recently to make room for younger and more profitable growth. They were all about the same else, one that was measured being 65 feet high, 6 feet In diameter at the base, with a spread of branches of 90 feet. Each year the trees bore enormous crops, but for years it has not been possible to get the fruit, the longest ladders being shotr of the prolific branches. The fruit, falling fifty or sixty feet, burst open when it struck the ground and was made useless. The story of these trees Indicate what California will show when the hundreds of thou sands of fruit and ornamental trees that have been planted within her borders during the last twenty-fiv- e years have attained the great age of the fig trees recently sacrificed. Such trees cause more or less wonder now; they will not after an other half century has passed, for then they will he found everywhere not only fig but fruit trees of all kinds. Cherry trees as well as other varieties planted In the early 50a have attained the enor mous else of the giant figs, and hundreds of thousands of trees are now de. veloplng to the same wonderful else. By the time they have become common perhaps a way will have been dlscov ered to gather the fruit, although at present writing It Is difficult to see how It can be done with anything short of an airship.
