According to the report of the state mining bureau the total mineral product of California for 1898 is valued at $27,289,079. In 1897 it was $25,142,441, in 1896 $24,281,398, and in 1895 $22,- 884,664. The gold product is placed at $15,908,478, a slight increase over the $16,871,901 produced in 1897. As the drought of last year lessened tne product by some millions this demonstrates an active development of gold mining. Copper takes second place for the first time with a product of 21,543,- 229 pounds, valued at $2,475,168, a very great increase. Quicksilver, so long second ln importance, holds third place.

If you are a woman and want to be healthy and wise, wealth being of thirdly consideration, you must eat apples for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a supplementary nibble before retiring at night. That is, you must do It if you desire to be fashionable aa well aa healthy and wise. Then you must renounce tabs and carriages and electric vehicles and such enervating luxuries and walk downtown or uptown or to and from marketing. You must not only walk to be fashionably healthy aid wise, but you must walk alone. No interesting companionship is to be tolerated. i near fob un.'

Martial Law Will be Declared--Families -eating-Lust Chance Kesuine Work Soou—Jim Is Near Death — Geuerul Dferriain Given Full Power. Wardner, Idaho, May 1.—The thugs are on the run. Terror has seized them. The law still stands and the Coeur d'Alenes ure still in tlie United States of America. From Canyon Creek came stories of panic and flight. The defiant leaders of the moh of Saturday are packng their gri[*s and silently dropping out of sight. Dozen-., it is claimed, have disappeared already, iliiiuj-h the nearest of Uncle Sam's bli.iviials are still nearly a hundred mile-. away. From this town also some of the most conspicuous strike leader*, have disappeared mysteriously. The proces-iun of trunks nnd boxes moving to the depot il also a lively one; but no one can say how many of these belong to men who mingled in thc mob and how many are the baggage of law-abiding citizens who are sending their families out of the country till all danger is past. At the Last Chance mine work was ro- resumed with hand drills, but other arrangements will he made quickly. It U the purpose of the management to increase the number of men to at least equal tl.e old-time strength of the working force. But, while the outlook is brighter thin yesterday, Wardncr has received a terrible blow. It will take months to recover tl.e prosperity of 10 days ago. Nor do all feel certain that life and property are yet safe in the Coeur d'Alenes. No Iron-is will cim.e till tomorrow—perhaps not till Wednesday, and there is a ftcling of dread lest fresh outrages occur while red tape is being unwound to release the troops which are so sorely needed here Jim Cheyne, the vanner man at the Hunker Hill and .Sullivan concentrator, who was shot by the mob on Saturday while trying to escape, is at the point of death today, An effort will be Blade to take him to Spokane this afternoon for surgical treatment, hut it is feared the b.iilel that pierced his t'.i-jn will cause ■liiitli before he reaches th-re. lion, the heil olli-n-s of lie Pnpkcr H*'l _ Sullivan Hi- H-l-ge c.unc Ihis ii.. tiling that *"pc,|ii' can stay in Ward* tier ns there "ill sum be w*3rk !• :* everybody.''
