GOLD MINING
IN CALIFORNIA
ON INCREASE
SAN FRANCISCO, June 4 (by As
sociated Press).—Gold mining in Cali
fornia, which passed through hard
days during the s war owing to the
greater cost of production and the fact
that this ore did not experience the
advanced prices offered for other
metals, will be aided in every possible
way by the California State Mining
Bureau to recuperate.
Permanent headquarters will be es
tablished for field assistants at Au
burn, Placer county, and at Redding,
Shasta county. All the facilities of
the bureau will be placed at the dis
posal of miners to aid them in solving
their problems.
War conditions <Jid much to quicken
mining in practically all metals used
in the production of ammunition and
war munitions, thus stimulating an
interest in the development of the
state’s resources in many minerals
which heretofore have been more or
less dormant or neglected.
The aid of the buraeu will be ac
corded not only to the gold mining
interests but also to the producers of
the various other metals.

portion of entertainment after each
day’s session—the committee having
planned several unique “stunts." The

and labor, and “boys work” are two
of the vital questions which will come
up for discussion, besides subjects of
peculiar interest to Rotarians.
Among the speakers at the conven
tion will be Hon. John Barrett, direc
tor general of the Pan-American
Union, who will speak on "Rotary as
an International Influence”, and Dr.
Henry Suzzalo, president of the Uni
versity of Washington, to whopi the
subject of “Capital, Labor, Manage
ment—and the Public,” has been as
signed. John Napier Dyer, governor
of the eleventh district, rotary clubs,
will be the principal speaker on rotary
ideals.

CONSIDERABLE UNREST
PREVAILS IN JAPAN
TOKIO, June 4 (by Associated
Press).—The spirit of unrest is stir,
ring the minds of the Japanese peo.
pie, says the Jiji, which has the repu
tation of being Japan's most conserva
tive and most thoughtfully edited
newpsaper, in a warning to the author
ities. The editor says:
“The wave thoughts radiating from
Paris are having contradictory effects
here, democracy being preached side
by side with very old fashioned saste
ideas, so that the people do not know
where to look for the guiding post.
“In economics everybody is at one
in feeling the pressure of the hard
ships of living. There is every indi
cation that the labor element of this
country will not rest content with its
present lot.”
