evening clouds, are not disturbing Angels Camp. Something new in the way of mining has been discovered here the pine chip method. These chips originally taken from th.e stamp batteries in The mill, were refuse' thaf mixed with the ore while timbering was being done in the mine. Along with the ore they were washed into the batteries, where they clogged the screen and caused Inconvenience and profanity. Beaten almost into paper pulp they were forked out by mlllmen and heaped on the ground.

Someone with an acquisitive1 imagination figured it out that the chips, after being beaten with the ore in the mills, must have picked up some fine gold. Co get the metal all that was needed was to burn chips, wash the ashes and let a run of quicksilver pick it up. The scheme is paying good wages. The camp is wondering what the next move will be from the stranger from San Francisco who pent a week enjoying his holidays here. The stranger watched tho bonfires turn out gold and seemed fascinated.

It was not until the day of his departure that he unburdened himself of the follow ing: Gentlemen.1" he said. "I have learned much since I came to jour city. Heretofore I was of the impression gold came from the ground. I consider that whut I have learned will be of great value."

GIBSOX, l'rt Tucked away in the far reaches of the north, sixty miles north of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada, where his only visitors are the Northwest Mounted Police and an occasional trapper, Kobert Hutchinson sits guard over a power plant which supplies that section of the country with lights. He Is without dally newspaper, yet the Northwest Mounted Police, the trappers and other employees of the plnnt eome-to eee him every, evening. He is very popular.

Perhaps the last paragraph of a lengthy letter received by The TRI1ICNE will explain why. It reads: "Would it be asking too. much to hiive you send more of the port ing news. I like it and so do the other boys. Your wireless telephone service Is great and we heard it very distinctly.

The nine have power of the executive secretary and prac-1 tically hold the future of the league 1 in their hands, since they have the power to remove any one of their number by a two-thirds vote and since they are. not required to report DacK to the league memhemhin until 100.000 families have Joined the league. NO MEANS OF RECALL.

means of recall of the directors Provided in the constitution and no more conventions will be held, the constitution states, until the 100,000 membership has been obtained. The nomination of Knight by the professional group caused a stir among the oil workers. Delegate Johnson demanded that Knight tell the convention more of himself. Johnson's apparent hostile attitude-mystified some until Waltei Yarrow, leader of the oil workers, explained that his following had learned to distrust newspaper editors. He said three or four of them had started newspapers In the oil fields espousing the cause of the oil workers and later had shifted over and had attacked the oil workers In an insinuating manner that had done great damage.

He declared, however, his belief in the sincerity of Knight, and the nomination was approved by the convention unanimously. SINGLE TAXKRS BEATEN. When the Single Taxers tried to incorporate a plank in the working program of the league a standing vote by groups resulted which gave the first accurate line on the representation.

AITIH. MARTHA A. 1IKET. TO THE MEN AND WOMEN OF OAKLAND: There are more than one thousand heads of families-in. Oakland today, NOW, without work, without money, without food.

Hard on the men fellow citizens of yours who, day after day, vainly seek work that their families may live; hard on the wives and mothers, but especially hard on the "children. It isn't a nice thought people of Oakland, that at this moment there are children in this city of ours, not only actually hungry but with no prospext of satisfying that hunger. This situation must be relieved at once, and the Citizens Emergency Employment and Relief Committee has been organized to help in securing immediate funds for supplying the necessities of life when needed, and in securing work for these less fortunate members of our community. These men want WORK, any kind of work that will enable them to earn an honest living. We know that you will do your share first in supplying money or food for the immediate relief of the destitute cases, and secpndly, in supplying work that the men may EARN the money so much needed.

There are very few families that cannot create some ddd job for a day's work--cleaning up the house or the garden, washing the automobile, cutting wood, or any of the odd jobs that need to be'done. The call is urgent. The call is to YOU. What are you' going to do about it? We have opened up headquarters in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce. Send some money, or provide some work immediately.

My face and the tipper parts of my body were fearfully swollen, my eyes being partially closed. Whenever 1 went out Into the air my face and bands burned as though they were on fire.

My skin Itched so that I wanted to scratch and tear at myself continually. Also I had cross eyes from blood poisoning. I treated- Willi several physicians, who- termed my trouble blood poisoning. None seemed to understand Hie case, and some were even frank enough to 'say that death alone could give me relief. Six weeks ngo I read of the return from China of the renowned FONG WAN KRB SPECIALIST.
