I do not believe there is any place in the world, South Africa, Australia, or any where else',: where so much rock is be ine crushed on so small a space of ground. The Treadwell now has'8," 000,000 tons of ore in sight. The Ready. Bullion, promises to equal the Treadwell in the amount of its produo tion. All the dirt has been sluiced off it and it has been traced for 800 feet along the beach and 600 to 700 feet along the hill. It is from 30 to 100 feet wide on the surface," and is in the contact between greenstone and slate, as are all the Douglass island ledges, the ore being of the same character as the Treadwell.

Rithet & Co. have the follow ing to say regarding shippinsg business in their monthly ciroular for November. 'iThe past three weeks have brought about a very decided change for the better in grain freights, although there has been comparatively nothing doing from San Francisco. The bulk of the season's shipments will undoubtedly be made from Oregon, and it appears likely that Washington will come next, the yield of California grain being small in consequence of the drought. The' increased activity has tended to harden ' freights, but on the whole changes during the month have been unimportant and the demand scarcely as great as previously.,,, , r T' ' : '..' ; New California Industry. - Bakersfield is not . distinguished as being the only place in Amerioa where Fuller's earth is reduced from the raw material to a merchantable article. An unlimited ' deposit was found on Poso oreek and a mill for grinding and bolting. the earth has been erected and is now running. The processbf reduc tion consists of running the lumps of clay, the size of hickory nuts, through the hopper and bolter, which turn it out in the form of fine flour.

The grocers in Seattle and Taooma are making a run on 'flour, taking ad vantage of the rivalry between Tacoma and Seattle mill men. The conditions are peculiar. .

ANARCHY IN PORTO RICO. Brlg-andi Plying-' Their Trade n the ... Interior. ' ' 3 ( Washington, Nov. 21. The cabinet session today was devoted tp a large extent to consideration Of complaints that have reaohed the war department, alleging that a state of practical an archy prevails in Porto Rico. These complaints asserted that the lawless elements are committing depredations of the gravest character, and the seri ousness of the situation is increased by the fact that United States troops likewise have been guilty of gross mis conduct. Secretary Alger has cabled General Biooke, inquiring as Jo the accuracy of the complaints. The 'most serious allegations are against brigands and lawless elements in the smaller towns away from the coast. It is said that taking advant age of the unsettled state of the coun try, due to the transfer of the govern ment from Spain to the United States, bands of men have organized for rob bery and rapine, burning houses and plantataions and levying tribute upon the people wherever possible. In one case, it is said, they made a raid on a small town of about ,1,500 inhabitants, 15 miles from the nearest troops, and burned and destroyed property to a considerable value. - AN APPEAL FOR HELP.

Character From Sorrow. Over and over. again the old , truth comes back to us, that no man is good for muoh till he has suffered a great sorrow. The baptism of pain is one of the instrumentalities which God ,. uses for purging away the dross of our na tures and making us fit to be partakers of the inheiitance of the saints in light. Not those who have escaped the ; fiery trial, but those who have gone through it and come out unhurt " and glorified, are to be envied. God knows what is best for ns. Therefore He sends first one affliction and then another upon us. Sometimes, because He sees it to be necessary, He lifts the very floodgates, and allows wave after' wave of rais-r' fortune to sweep over us. ':.
