In short, the signs of a 1 local mining boom are reported to be 1 present.

Then the dwellers in the neighborhood became prospectors, suddenly, and the locations of claims followed. Cal McMahan- of this city received a letter in which the statement Is made that practically all of one large valley has been staked out. The next atep will probably be development work to determine the value of the mineral FEASIBILITY DEMONSTRATED. When the first irrigation bill passed congress some five or six years ago the Union declared that while the government might accomplish something in the line of reclaiming the desert, the greater and more practical results in irrigation would always depend upon private Initiative and private means. Events are justifying this prophecy.

Right here in the Sacramento valley, at a place where the agents of the government made a start and scored a failure, private enterprise is putting upon its feet a project which plans to bring the waters of Clear Lake and spread them over a wide territory, including the greater part of Yolo, Solano and Colusa counties. This great project Is not only entirely feasible aa a matter of theory, but it has the advantage of actual demonstration. A considerable part of Yolo watered by channels leading from Clear Lake, with the effect of vastly expanding the range and volume of local Industry. The larger project now In view will do much less than turn the productive but all but depopulated grain fields of the west side Into a. district of small FREDERICK WARDE.

C. C. Cox, the advance representative of Frederick Warde, the eminent actor who is on a lecture tour this season, was in this city Tuesday afternoon. Before leaving he completed arrangements with the Woman's Improvement Club for Mr. Warde's appearance In this city on Monday evening, February 26th.

The lecture, or recital, as it may properly be called, will be delivered In the Christian church. The subject of Mr. Warde's lecture has not been selected, but It will be a discussion of one of Shakespeare's plays or selections from a number of tlie famous bard's works. It matters little what the subject matter, for Mr. Wavde is always very entertaining aa a lecturer fact, bis reputation as a lecturer almost equals that gained by him as an actor.

The ladies of the Improvement Club are to be congratulated upon having secured his services and doubtless he will be greeted with a crowded house. Although Justice McKenna has long been a resident of Washington, he Is still well remembered In Yolo county. He once represented this district In congress. The following may be of local Interest: Miss HHdegrade McKenna was married on Tuesday to John T. Pultz of New York in the home of her parents, A license was issued Monday for this at the same time another was Issued for Mlsa Marie McKenna, youngest daughter of Justice and Mrs.

McKenna, and Davenport Brown of Boston. SHORTAGE OF SKATES. are experiencing much difficulty In securing skates.

W. Kaerth Appointed by Drain age Commisiion. The members of the Sacramento Drainage Commission, created by the act of the last legislature, have announced the appointment of J. W. Kearth of Colusa as supervising engineer for the entire district under their jurisdiction.

The position, needless to say, is a most important one aa It devolves upon the Incumbent to carry out the plans adopted by the commission for the improvement oi the entire valley and the reclamation of all overflowed lands tributary to the Sacramento viver. Mr. Kearth has had a wide experience In reclamation projects along the Sacramento, but he is best known through his work as engineer for the district known as Grand Island, In Comsa county. During his administration the entire island, comprising about 100,000 acres, has been surrounded with a system oi levees that has afforded protection against overflow and vastly increased the value of every acre on the island. Through the combination of lack of funds and unlooked (or floods Mr.

Kearth has more than once been placed lu a position of grave responsibility, and his services, at sucn critical periods, earned for him general recognition throughout the swamp laud districts. Mr. Kearth's employment aa an engineer for the commission has already commenced. His compensation is fixed by the members, but has not yet been definitely decided upon. He is ubw looking over the ground, to determine as nearly as possible the exact boundaries of Iho submersible lauds in the valley.

By this Is meant the territory subject to annual overflow, to which is to be applied the remedies adopted ay the commission. With the boundary line established, can then be determined how much of the laud actually comes within the provisions of tlie bill.
