Fresno people arc Jubilant over the forma
tion of a company to utilize the Immense
water power of the San Joaquln river and
transmit It by electricity to all points In the
valley. The capital of ths now organlza
tlon Is JSOO.OOO , all of which has been sub
Rcrlbed.
Such n scheme as has now bsen success
fully started has been under discussion for
many years , fays a Fresno dispatch to the
San Francisco Call , nnd the value of the
unused power of the San Joaquln has been
frequently pointed out by well known en
gineer * .
The country between this city nnd the
river Is very level , nnd consequently there
will be but little expense In putting up the
necessary lines of wlro The Sau Joaquln
issues from the foothills at a point about
seventeen miles from Fresno , near the his
torlc old town nf Mlllcrton , once the county
neat , but now almost deserted. Hero. In at
probability , the dam to confine the now ol
the stream will bo located.
Above and below this point there Is a con-
elderablo fall , amply sufllclent to s'vo ' power
for fddltlonal wheels should there be a de
mand for greater electrical energy. It Is In
tended to put In ten turbine wheels of the
latest pattern nt the first flam constructed.
Knglneers who have made n careful study of
the river say that a single dam during the
season when the How of water Is leait will
In BiiUlr-lent to" tupply five times as much
pDwcr as is now useJ In the mills , etc. , of
this city.
Were It the Intention ot the projectors to
supply only this city one dam would probably
bo tnilllclent for many years ; but power wll1
also bo furnished to Mndcra , Sanger. Selma
Fowler and other towns lying within a short
distance of the works. Already an order for
the first plant has l > cen placc-J , and It Is
positively staled that It will be ready for
operation In three or four months.
Besides furnishing power for their owr
establishments the projectors have In mind
the acquisition of the street car lines of this
city , which will be changed to electric lines
and the system will no doubt be extended.
With freight rates as high as they now
arc the county would benefit but little by
the Introduction of cheap power , but when
the S.m Francisco and San Joaquln Valley
railroad reaches this city there Is strong
reason to believe that this will become an
Important manufacturing center. Excellent
coal Is now bolng mined In the Sierra Nevada
nnd Immense deposits of Iron have been dis
covered In the Minarets. When these mines
nre developed and the output Is laid down
hera at a small cost , the Industries of the
county will be revolutionized.
MINERAL CAOUTCHOUC.
According to Webster , elaterlto Is "an elas
tic mineral resin of a blackish brown color ,
nub-translucent and occurring In soft , flexible
masses , called also mineral caoutchouc and
clastic bitumen. "
There Is a large deposit of clatcrlte In
northeastern Utah , the tltlo to which was
acquired by William A. Perry some tlmo ago ,
since which , says the Denver Times , practical
experiments have demonstrated how It can
to utilized commercially.
Its uses arc the manufacture of roofing
material , clastic rubber paints and enamels ,
elastic Iron cements , electrical Insulating
goods , rubber matting , rubber belling , etc.
The raw material Is shipped from Price ,
Utah , to the factory In Denver , where It Is
ground In a centrifugal mill , running COO rev
olutions per minute , until It will pass through
a wlro screen of 200 meshes to the Inch. For
roofing material It Is then chemically dis
solved In a brick tank having a capacity of
800 gallons.
Imported Scotch Jute cloth , In forty feet
lergths nnd thirty-two Inches wide. Is passed
over wooden rollers , then , down into nnd
through this vat , the dissolved elaterlte ad
hering to It thickly , the cloth then passing
through n "finishing machine" composed of
beavy Iron rollers superheated with steam to
480 degrees F , the pressure being 2,475 pounds
to the square Inch.
The result Is a thick , pliable , but tough
nnd durable material , of which the strong
fibrous Jute Is the foundation and the com
pressed but elastic elaterlto the superstruc
ture. It Is then put through a vulcanizing
bath , which makes It positively Impervious to
moisture , hot or cold , and practically fire
proof. It Is finally finished with a facing of
pulverized mica obtained from near Sallda ,
which gives a roof covered with this material
a light nnd pleasent effect.
It can be manufactured and sold to the
consumer at nbout $3 per square , I. e. 100
square feet. Arrangements are being made
with the railroads by which this rubber roofIng -
Ing can bo laid down as far east as New York
nnd successfully compete with the best roof
ing materials In vogue , nnd orders have al
ready been received from Australia.
DIG FORTUNE IN ORE.
News has been received hereof a remarka
bly rich strike made In the Alta mine at
DcLanmr , says the Boloe Statesman. An air
ehaft Is being sunk. Some time ago It struck
Into mineralized matter , apparently a flat
vein , similar In that respect to the other veins
in that vicinity. On examination It became
apparent that the ere was valuable and the
whole has been sampled.
The result of sampling and assaying has
been astonishing. The average value of the
first fifty feel of ere Is shown to bo $27 per
ton In gold. The next eight reel average $70
per ton In gold. Ilelow this the shaft has
penetrated two and one-half feet of ore that
Las not yet been assayed , but ? which shows to
bo very clch In the yellow metal.
Tha Alta mine adjoins the DeLamar mine.
It was recently bonded to Duluth parties who
liavo transferred the bond to Chicago capital
ist * . The price nt which the Chicago people
take the property Is understooJ to be $100-
000 , nnd they have paid $5,000 to bind the
contract.
ANOTHER "HOLY TERROR. "
* Considerable excitement was caused In this
camp by the report that Walt Espy hail un
covered another Holy Terror here , says the
Keystone Nugget. The Nugget man hunted
Mr. Espy up and Interviewed him regarding
the find. He brought a piece of rock Into
town which weighed nbout three pounds.
The rock was completely filled with gold , and
upon bolng pounded up it yielded something
near $10. Ten dollars In gold from three
pounds of rock ! Mr. Espy says that while
as yet ho has found no well defined ledge ol
' this character of rock there Is plenty ol
'a "Boat , " such as he brought In. and the ledge
Is there somewhere near. He also stated
that he had already had throe or four offers
for a halt Interest In the find Just as it Is
one party ottering htm $5,000 cash.
Son\o wiseacres , when the find became
known , pronounced it n fake , and clalmet ]
that the ore tested was from the Holy Terror ,
A comparison of some of the ere brought In
l > y Mr. Espy with some from the Holy Ter
ror , however , knocks this theory Into a
cocked hat. The find Is genuine , and a little
time and work will do the rest. In the
meantime look out for some startling news
regarding the ( hid.
FARMERS IJRANCIIING OUT.
A number of farmers In the vicinity ol
Warner , In Ilrown county , have banded to
gether and 'will cultivate ) a large amount ol
sugar cane. The cost of seed U a matter o )
email expense , and the growing of the crop
li by no means an experiment , says the
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader. It has before
been tested , and slnce > the present associa
tion of farmers contemplates the purchase ol
a sorghum mill , Including crusher , evap >
rater , etc. , they will have the facilities at
hand to make the venture a reasonably suc
cessful ono If persevered In. It U estimated
that a twenty-aero field of fair rune should
yield 3,000 gallon ! of syrup , worth 40 cents
a gallon , or $1,200 $ In the aggregate.
S. D. Cone , an Aberdeen firmer , experi
mented to some extent In the cultivation of
mustard. Ills efforts , so far as profits were
concerned , were not altogether successful ,
tut he demonstrated to hli own satisfaction
that the crop could be successfully grown
and has Interested quite a good many ol
tha best farmers In the county in the enter-
prlie. and to tint end will furnish the s ed
for nboul 1,000 acres , In lUly th crop
averages from thirty to forty bushels per
acre , by hand cultivating and hand harvest
ing. Mr. Cone fixes the yield here at twenty
bushels , on account of the waste. The prof
its In the crop can be easily estimated , as
the teed tells readily at $5 ptr bushel , This
gentleman his also mode experiments ! with
high-priced l.erbs , and says they can be
successfully grown here. His experiments
cover peppermint , sage , wormwood , fenu
greek , anls ? , taniy , coriander and carroway.
This venture will ba watched with a great
deal of Interest by the farmers , who are
gradually getting Into mixed farming , and

ORANGE SHIPPERS WORRIED.
The orange growers of southern California
liave been greatly worried for some time
ivcr the keen competition made to their or-
inges In eastern markets by foreign grow-
: rs , says a Los Angeles dispatch to the San
"ranclsco Call.
This culminated In the meeting at the
Southern California Fruit exchange In
hat city , ut which representatives from
llversldo. San Uernardlno , Pomona , Pasa-
.letia nnd other points were present. It
was pointed out at the meeting that the
prices at which oranges from this section
were quoted offered a good margin of profit
.0 the European orange growers ; that the
alter could ship and land their fruit at
Now York and other eastern points and un <
dersell the California growers.
Some members present were In favor of
going on as they had been doing , snapping
their flngera at the European growers. Oth
ers contended that they taw no use In inak-
ng the running for the foreign growers by
quoting a price which gave tliem n chance
to cut with profit Etlll to themselves.
After a long and acute discussion a com
promise was reached whereby It was de
cided to continue quoting navel oranges as
'lerctofore. but to stop making any more
quotations on seedling oranges. The re
sult of this move will be to allow orange
growers who are members of the exchange
to sell their seedlings at any price they like
or ship them on consignment wherever they
please without by so doing forfeiting their
membership In the exchange.
"Some of our members , " said a prominent
shipper , "may think It wise to ship t'nelr
seedlings on consignment , but the majority of
is will not. Wo will wait until ttie eastern
markets are cleared of the foreign drug , and
; hen we will ship our fruit as before. In the
neantlme we do not propose to keep on quot-
ng prices simply to make a market for those
foreign fellows to shoot at. "
LO'S LONG PAY DAY.
The proces of paying the Indians on the
Isscton reservation their annual annuity
ilrags Its slow lengths along , says a Wanboy ,
S. D. , special to the Minneapolis Tribune. The
amount to be paid the Indians tills year Is
nbout $218,000. Payment was begun over
two weeks ago , and yet there has been but
$50.000 paid , so that , at this rate , the Job
will not bo completed until probably the mld-
ille ot May , too late for the Indians to use
the money for the purchase of seed wheat ,
horses nnd such other supplies as they may
need to put In their spring crops , This money
Is sent to Uio paymaster In sums of $25,000.
When that amount has been paid out the de
partment 1s notified , and after some delay an
other Installment of $25,000 Is sent on.
To add to the delay and Inconvenience It
may bo added that this being the beginning
of a quarter , no further payments will be
made until the regular quarterly report Is
made , forwarded to Washington and checked
up. which will probably consume ten days.
The opinion prevails that the whole proceed
ings Is an aggravated and uneccssary case of
red tape. As n matter of fact , a large portion
of this money was duo and should have been
paid last fall.
AFTER MORE OIL AVELLS.
The people of South Pasadena are much
excited over recent discoveries which Indicate
that they nro In a region rich Ini oil , says aLes
Los Angeles dispatch to the San Francisco
Examiner. Upward of 1,000 acres of land
In the vicinity of that town have been pur
chased by oil companies recently , and several
car loads of machinery have since been un
loaded and the first well located.
The companies are composed of Pasadena
capitalists , and have , It Is said , made such
experiments and prospects ns give them
every reason to believe that the oil field will
exceed In volume that of Ventura , this city
or I'uento. Large prices were obtained by
the owners of the land , but so secret were the
buyers as to their purchases that no one
knew what they were after.
The first well will be sunk near Lincoln
Park station , and others will follow to the
southward. In the direction of Alhambra. The
company has a number of Pennsylvania oil
experts at work , and has a large capital.
AN OREGON HONANZA.
Sam Lawrence of Galls creek , recently dis
covered a ledge about half a mile from the
Kubll & Watson ledge , from which the rich
discovery was reported a short time since ,
says a Jacksonville dispatch to the Portland
Oregonlan , The Lawrence discovery Is In
the direction of the Kubll ledge , and is be
lieved to tie an extension of It. Seven tons
of the new discovery were taken to the Llnd-
ley stamp mill , on Sardine creek , and crushed.
They yielded $4,800. Much Interest Is mani
fested In this handsome working test , and de
velopment work will bo prosecuted with all
possible vigor on the ledge.
Work Is continued with much energy on
the Kubll & Watson ledge , with the most
satisfactory results. The company has 100
tons of rock on the dump , and estimates
from actual working tests with an arastra
that It will average $60 per ton.
Tlnv Dugan of this place has Just uncov
ered four veins , located four miles from
Jacksonville , In the divide between Jackson
and Galls creeks , running parallel with each
other , with only a thin partition between
them , from which he has obtained the most
flattering prospects. Seven pounds of ore re
duced In a hand mortar weighed In at the.
bank $11. He will commence to develop the
ledges' once , and other locators on exten
sions will also test their holdings.
More than usual Interest Is being taken In
the mining Industry this year , and a larger
number of men are prospecting than ever
before. Many new discoveries will no doubt
be made.
CUEEDE'S BRILLIANT PROSPECTS.
During the summer of last year the miner
ot Crecdo camp considered ho was In luck
when ho could obtain work at $2.50 per day ,
but If prospecting turns out as favorable In
the next thirty days as It has In the past , the
managers of the working mines of the camp
will congratulate themselves on being able to
obtain miners at any price , says a Creedn
special to the Denver News. Each miner
that Is now working for wages will soon bo
on the lookout for a mine of his own , end
from the present rate of now nnd rich dis
coveries It will be no difficult task.
Mine owners , mine workers and mine dis
coverers labored under the fallacious opinion
that Bachelor mountain was the only cne In
Crecde that contained anything but plain
rock and common dirt. Hut the numerous
rich discoveries made on Campbell mountain
have led people to believe that no i.ucli
barren mountain exists In , near , or about
Creede camp , and that those undeveloped
oven exceed llachelor mountain Itself , which
has given to the world the Amethyst , Last
Chance , New York Chance , United Mines ,
Park Regent nnd others.
Campbell mountain has commenced to bud
early this year. The Ridge , Solomon , Ethel ,
Rio Grande , Maggie , Holy Moses and Holy
Moses No. 2 have been prominently mentioned.
In addition to the Intention of the Ridge to
enlarge Its capacity to treat ore , caused by
the late strike , the managers are going to put
in a process to save the gold , having been un
able to do so with their present appliances ,
which the manager says has caused them a
loss of J CO.000 the last year.
Mr. Henry Allenby. who resigned as super
intendent of the Amethyst to take a lease on
the Solomon has been well rewarded for his
undertaking by finding a vein six feet wide
that has been uncovered In five different
places , the apex extending the entire length ,
l.GOO feet , through the Mexico lode claim into
the Rio Grande claim.
A PROSPECTOR'S PARADISE.
In September ot last year a number of
prospectors , who were dissatisfied with the
restrictions that tlio company owning Hie
grant put upon locations that were made In
La Hello district , went over the range Into
what is known as the Keystone mining dis
trict and there found and located on Immense
leads of mineral , the like ot which , as re
gards width and strength of vein , was never
known In any locality so far developed ,
The source ot the Immensely rich placers
at ElUabethtown and vicinity which produced
over $8,000,000 of gold , says a Santa Fe spe
cial to the Denver News , and were worked
during the 60s and earlier. Is undoubtedly
In the largo leads of gold-bearing quartz
which are found In the mountains of this dis
trict.
trict.Tho
The prospects were so flattering that about
fifty miners secured provisions enough for the
winter and have staid with their properties ,
and U Is astonishing the amount of develop
ment work that has been accomplished In BO
short a time. The character ot the mineral
Is chiefly quartz panning free gold ot a low
grade , running from $10 to $60 per ton. The
surface ore Is free milling , with Indications
that concentration or the cyanide process will
be the beat treatment ns depth Is gained.
One ore body , by actual measurement , Is
over 135 feet In width , on which a tunnel
forty-five feet has so far been run. This Is a
quartz , varying In color from blue to rose
olor , and Impregnated with Iron pyrites ,
vhlch carry the values nnd assay from $9
o $12 per ton. Other properties show pay
treaks varying In width from five to slxty-
Ive feet , and assaying fi-oin $12 to $65 per
on , Shafts arc down up to seventy feet
\nil tunnels as much ns 130 feet In length.
The district covers over 200 square miles and
s a perfect paradise for the prospector.
WILL , MANUFACTURE SODA.
The Laramle Soda Refinery company h s
lied articles of Incorporation with the secre-
ary of stale. The company has a capital
f $00.000 nnd will engage In mining and re
ining soda , nays the Laramle Boomerang.
The corporators and trustees of the vcn-
ure nre : H. a. Ilalch , John Davis , A. A.
Johnson , E. D. Hlskcy and N. E. Corthell.
This company has been In process of organ
zatlon for some time. It Is known that John
lavls has a system of securing soda which It
believed will prove successful when an
opportunity Is afforded to try U.
A lloomernng representative saw some of
ho members of the company , and they ro-
'used to give all the particulars at present ,
iut they stated that they proposed to place
sulphate of soda on the market. What are
known as the Downey lakes will probably be
.itlllzed In this enterprise. One of the prln
clpal owners of these lakes Is a Mr. Cooper
of England , and It Is presumed that satls-
'actory arrangements must have already been
made for the use tLthe lakes.
It Is presumcidt this new company will
erect whatever works they will llnally have
at the lakes. Mr. Davis' system Is a series
of vats , and ns far as It has been experi
mented with It proves that It Is correct.
FOUND ON THE DESEIIT.
Wortl comes from the desert , says a
San Diego special to the San Francisco Ex
amlner , that a well dressed man , wearing the
nslgnla of the Masonic nnd Odd Fellows
orders , was found a few days ago In a
crazed condition , wandering In the vicinity
of Uoregas Springs. He was suffering for
water when found by a cattleman named
McCain , and taken to camp.
Ills utterances were Incoherent , but after
ward ho said ho had left a train at Walters
station to walk across to Elslnorc , and had
jeen directed to take a short cut by either
; he trainmen or people at Walters station
This Is not believed , howe\er , as no one at
a railroad station on the desert would have
the hardihood to send a man unused to the
dangers 1GO miles across tbo desert am
mountains on foot , without water or pro
visions. The stranger failed to give his
name , nnd after two days' rest started on
with a canteen ot water and some pro
visions given by the cattlemen , who kept
lilm Jn sight until ho entered the moun
tains. Ho held the course Indicated , how
ever , and was later seen In the vicinity of
Oak Grove. It was thought by the cattle
men that he left the train while temporarily
Insane , but how he reached the vicinity
where he was found , without water. Is a
mystery. Ono more day would have fin
ished him.

To the I'Mltor of Ilio Oinnlm Hoc :
Dear Sir : Having niailu n discovery
tlntt will soften tlio hardest of water , I
address yon In the hope that you will
give publicity lo my claim. 1 am well
aware that In making tins positive stnto-
tnont Unit I have made a discovery
that will revolutionize the preparation
of all wali't- used for washing purposes ,
the toilet , bath anil hunulry , n strong
doubt will arlso In the mind of Uio
public as lo the truth of this statement.
It Is to overcome ( his projndlco that I
Invoke the aid of the press. I ask for
the fullest Investigation under your di
rect and personal supervision. It seems
to me that the fairest and surest wny
to test the value of this preparation
would bo for me to send 10,000 trial
packages to The l oo olllce , there to
be given out absolutely free to all per
sons who apply ; that the name and ad
dress of each person who accepts Uio
preparation bo taken , nnd at the end
of a reasonable length of time n ro-
por.ter bo detailed lo Interview the par
ties and that the results In each cnso
be published In The lice. IJy this
means there can bo no deception or
fraud , and the value of this prepara
tion will stand or fall upon the testi
mony of those who have tried It.
Improbable as this statement may
seem , yet I am prepared to provo by
thousands of people who have used this
preparation that It will soften the hard
est of water ; It will hold colors from
running In printed goods anil keep
bluing > from curdling In the waler.

vety , accelerating the action of soap ,
giving the skin a healthy glow and
helping the soap to remove any super-
Ilnons excretions that may adhere to
the body. For dishes and general
washing purposes It Is very essential ,
as it saves both labor and soap. This
preparation is not to be confounded
with soap powder , as It contains no
soap , lye , ammonia , lime or any deterl-
ons Ingredients. It Is not u greasy
preparation whatsovever. Ilnlu water
