CAUFORNIANS HOPEFUL THINK THI'Y WILL WIV TIII'IK POINT IN CONTROVERSY WITH TIIK I'RKSlilKNT. Washington, Feb. 12. The con ference between the Pres.dent and the California delegation was con cluded last evening. Mayor Schmitz made the statement that although they had still further discussed the question, nothing definite had been accomplished and that there would be another meeting subjected to the call of tho President. Thin meeting will probably be held tomorrow. In an Interview today Congress man Hayes of California said: "We all believe that a satisfactory con clusion of the Japanese question will be reached by the San Francisco delegation headed by Mayor Schmiti t the meeting with (he President. The people of California are unduly excited by the misleading reports from tho East. They seem f believe that they are going to give something away, when as a matler of fact they will get all they are contending for. Had the school authorities oi San Francisco believed they were Inciting a foreign nation's feelings by clcslng tho schools to certain forelgi.ers, they would not have done as they dlil. Everything that Is best to be done will be done. I feel sure that there Is no reason for our people to anticipate any betrayal of their In terests." SAYS FATHER IS HEARTLESS.

Trisoner a WiF In Offered by iHlmas and May Re I'wd As a Proof of His Insanity. New York, Feb. 12. Dr. Charles E. Wagner, an alienist, was the first witness called after the recess. Dr. Wagner said the first examination of Thaw In the Tombs showed the latter suspicious and fearful he declared liiane. would be N. w York, Feb. 12. The opening of the fourth week of the Thaw trial brought a new order of things, in the cour'room and all women other than the half dozen active newspaper writ ers who have followed the case since the beginning were barred by order of Justice Fitzgerald. District Attorney Jerome, on de mand of Mr. Delmas, produced the note Mrs. Thaw passed to her hus band in the Cafe Martin on the night of the tragedy. The note reads: The b ftl here a minute ago, but went nut galn." Mrs. Thaw explained that the "B" meant "blackguard" and referred to ; Stanford White. In the afternoon session of tbe Thaw case It was agreed by counsel ! that Mrs. Evelyn Thaw should step aside as a witness to permit the In troduction of competent testimony tending to show the alleged Insane 1 condition of the prisoner's mind. This action was taken after the repeated 1 objections of District Attorney Je rome to further questioning of the witness as to conversations between her and the defendant concerning Stanford White had been sustained by the court, and Justice Fitzgerald had Intimated that counsel should follow the spirit of the court's rul ings as laid down In specific In stances. Mr. Jerome's objections were based on the ground that the testi mony of Mrs. Thaw had gone far enough without a better foundation showing Insanity on the part of the defendant being made. The recalling of Mrs. Thaw to the stand followed the testimony of J. Lyon, vice-president of the I'tiion Na tional Hank of Pittsburg, who de clared he had possession of Harry Thaw's will until late In November, lHOii, and the testimony of John ll. Gleasoti of Thaw's counsel, who went on as a witness to say that he re reived by mall from Pittsburg, De cember 11, 19flti, the will In ques tion. Mr. Jerome expressed willingness to admit that tne will received by Mr. Lyon passed directly to Mr. d leu son, who has testltied that there had been no changes made In the will. In Hie course of the afternoon pro ceedings Mr. Delmas said that the statements mad." that the defense would consume several weeks yet was untrue. Hut little more time would he taken up.

Owns a developed mine In the Argna range of mountains in Inyo connty. California, and according to the engineer " report bas 6000 tons of ore in sight. The engineer s report is herewith given : Engineers Jleport Sao Francisco, Cal., Jan. 4, 1907. The Alexandria Gold and Copper Jliuiug- Co Gentlemeo : I have fininheJ an exhaustive examination of your properties in tbe Argus Range of mountains. Since making my ex aminations some years ago, I find jour properties have been developed continuously. I find the developments under the efficient direction of your superintendent. Mr. H. C. Hamilton, have been carried on in an economical and systematic manner. There is now on yoor property fully 2000 feet of drifting and 500 feet of shafts, all in ore, throwing a very large tonnage in sight. I should say, on the "Little Maud" and "Knight" vein, which have been exploited by nine tunnels and numerous cuts along the vein, ex. posing the ore for fully 1700 feet in length, there is folly 40,000 tons of ore that conld be called in sight. Ou the "South Inyo" vein there are ,1000 tons in sight, and on the "Star of thu West" there are also aO'.O tons that can be cons 'lvativelycalled in signt. At no place where tbe ore was opened were values below milling, and at least seven per cent of the ore can be sorted for shipping. The ore can be cobbed to over $100 per ton. I have snggesetd in my detail report that a bucket tram and a 25-stamp mill should be immediately erected. These improvements would cost fiO.OOO and would imme diately pat your prorerty on a dividend paying basis. A 20-stamp mill would mill four tons to the stamp, or 80 tons per day. From my sampling vour mill.ug ore should average f 13 per ton, or $1000 to 12U0 per day, ib free gold and concentrates, and your shipping ore at least fonr tons per day, have a value of over f 100 per ton, or $400 per day. This can be done at an expense of :i per ton of ore mined. I should rtommend this expenditure immedaitely. Your property will then pay enormous dividends and with the large tonnage already opened up, of knowu values, would pay for years. In my opinion the property, with depth, is turning into copper. All of your lower workings demnstrato this, the gold and silver values holding out. With a larger per cent cf copper co niing in, and with the advent of the railroad, your property would more and more be brought into prominence as a shipper.. Yours very truly, (Signed) W.B. GILLINGHAM, M. E. Does Chis Cook Good to You? It certainly looks good to us and yon will note that additional stamps are needed to mill the ore already in sight and that is the reason stockk is being sold at the prospect price of 25 cents per share. Will You Bny Some of tbe Stock? The stock is easily worth double tbe price askfd for it, but th quick money is worth more to the company than the stock that will have to be sold to bnild and equip the mill. Tbe stock is selling at the prion of tnanv ordinary prospects, but as a matter of fact; it is a REAL MINE. If you failed to realb.e the importane of the above re port, read it over again and see if you do not wish to join as a part nre, in a proposition that you, yourself must acknowledge is meritor ious in every respect. Get Some Alexandria now. After the present allotment is sold, the stock will be entirely withdrawn from sale, and will undoubteljr be worth from two to four times what it is now selling for. Stock in a dividend paying mine at ' 5 cents per share is certainly a bargain, and tbat is what Mr. Gill ingliam says it is, as soon as the mill is in operation. The ore being in sight, all tbat is necessary is the equipment to handle it. The allotment will be sold promptly and in offering it to yon, it is un necessary to state that we advise its purchase. Don't be too slow in getting your orders in. As soon as yon read this, write or wire the number of shares you want. Oor customers are our best friends, be cause we make them money.
