WAR HIT3 GOLD MIX1NO In almost every year alnc the day of the forty-niner, nearly sev en decader ago, California, the "Golden State." led all Other In the production of gold, and He total output to the end of 181711.672,- 681.941 I ar greater than that of any other tate; yet. according to C, O. Tale, of the United States geo logical aurvey, deuatment of the In tiiF ihm nntDut of aold In the itate Is now decreasing from month to month. Thi decrease Is due not so much to the exhaustion of the 'i.om rn hoitie. or veins, but chiefly to war conditions, Including the los of miner, for many who formerly worked in gold mines are now prospecting or mining metals and mineral that are Immediately needed to mak munitions of war chrome, manganese, magneslte, tung ten, molybdenum, and copper. Gold mining seem to be the only mineral Industry that Is losing ground In Cal ifornla,, for the value of the total mineral output of ihe state la now greater than ever before. WHERE WERE THE U-BOAT3? Many of the details of the capture or sinking of German - submarines are necessarily kept from the public. After the war is over we may hope to know more of the work of the al lied fleets In their war against the U-boat, but tor the present patriot are willing to forego the thrilling facts. There are some al.ns, however, which the ordinary citizen can read for himself. One, of which we are perhaps most proud, Is the success ful transport of trooDS from our shores to the war zone, unharmed by the U-boat. Another is brought out by simple statements from the food administration. England has been able to lift her restrictions on the consumption of bacon. : Why? Pork exports from this country amounted to 169,331.- 000 pounds. Our allies received 83.5 per cent of that. For the three year preceedlng the war our aver ' age monthly exportation of pork was about 41,531,567 pounds. The June beef record Is interest ing, too. Before the war the month ly average of a three-year period was 1,066,000 pounds. In June of this year we exported 92,173,000 pounds of beef, of which 95 per cent went to France, Belgium and the British However, this little ripple of tern ently ushered Into a room where thPorary Jubilation doe not In the lords of the country In olden time least detract from our attention to keDt ' the uoor wretches who wereithe all-absorbing topic, vlt, when unfortunate enough to disagree with! we will return to America.

From the outside it resembles a glorified, Jail only it hasn't so many windows; and what window there are seem useless, be cause the majority of them, while of generous height, are only about six Inches wide. To add to the ab surdity, a large proportion of them are heavily barred. (As Mark Twain, I believe, puts It. It would be easier for a rich man to go through a camel's eye than for an ordinary cltixen to crawl through one of these windows. , And none of them are lower than 30 or 40 feet from the ground. No need for the lodgers there to fear burglars; anybody bent on depredation would need an air ship to get even close. We walked in through a narrow passageway, over the moat, over a drawbridge, under what in ancient times was the portcullis, and pro reeded to bargain with the keeper, a stalwart woman of uncertain age, to see the sights.
