What promises to be the greatest attempt ot the present era in stage realism will be seen at the Grand Opera House next Tuesday night in Lincoln J. Carter's famous melo drama. "The Fast Mail." The play is known throughout the country for the completeness and magnitude of its mechanical effects. The production is under the per sonal supervision of its author. Lincoln J. Carter. Special scenery is carried for the ten complete sets to be used 111 the play. In the second act a steamboat is shown with the boiler room and intricate machinery and its glowing fur naces. The boat is blown up by a tremendous explosion, and the wreck is seen going down in mid river. The great railway scene is nother of the unprecedented a- chievements of this performance in the direction of realism. A freight train of fourteen cars is run across the stage with an illuminated ca boose and a practical locomotive. The fireman and engineer are seeu at their respective stations, which gives the picture an even more realistic aspect. A mail train comes speeding by, catching the mail pouch just as everyone has seen it do many times in actual experience. n the last act Niagara Palls are shown in all their natural beautv. The soft moonlight adds to the ef fect, aod the scene needs only the addition of the suspension bridge to complete the whole effect. Capital Stock, $6,000,000.

Baltimore, Md. Rpncnnc A7hr sharesin the Cuyamaca Ranch and Mining Company may be expect lXCdoUIlb VV Iiy e(j to a greater profit than any other equally substantial invest ment now offered. The Company owns thousands of acres ot mineral ground on the great Mother Lode of California, which has produced more gold in the past fifty-three years, since the discov ery of gold in California, than any other gold bearing formation in the world has ever yielded, This great gold belt runs through the property of this Company for about twelve miles from North to South. It is doubtful if any other Company in the world owns gold bearing territory of equal extent and importance; that it is very rich seems to be proved by the fact that the only mine opened on this estate, the famous Stonewall, has yielded from the surface to a depth of six hund red (600) feet, probably over Two Millions of Dollars ($2,000,000), more than Nine Hundred Thousand ($900,000) Dollars of which was taken out during a peiiod of three years and four months. This record has been verified by the books of the Bank, in San Francisco, to which the bullion was shipped, and by the United States Mint in San Francisco. We give below the detail of this very remarkable record, which, competent authorities state, might have been greatly ex ceeded by different management : San Francisco, Cal., March 3, 1902 E.

Rebuilding the Bridget Destroyed by Recent Floods. A drain on the treasury of the state that wilt be no small matter, will be the rebuilding of the bridges destroyed by the recent floods. Auditor Gen- eral Hardenburg said that it will be an uncertain problem. The matter of new bridges to take the place of destroyed ones has but lately been taken advantage of by county commissioners, although the law has been in operation since 1S95 but now that it is understood a rush is anticipated, and the state cannot get out of paying for the bridges particularly those across navigable streams, and almost all of the streams, big and little, are classed as navigable.

WILSON Trustees for (Signed; L. I. COWGILL THE SATHER BANKING CO. (Now San Francisco National Bank.) Mr. Wilson writes, under date of March 3rd, as follows: "Have spent several days with the people of the United States Mint here proving our figures, to which you wished me To affix my name. "These ngures are not only absolutely correct as verified by the United States Mint returns at San Fran- Cisco, but we can increase mese ngures previous 10 January, iseo, 11 you aesire us 10 ao 50. in my researcu es at the Mint, between 1880 and 1885, I have already found$i88,958.oo; $20,466 output January, 1880, from a little ten stamg mill; February of that year $21,492.00; then in 1885 running but a little time only, $75,000.00 more was taken out. I have invited here the Statistician of the United States Mint, Mr. Yale, to lookup further history. It seems that this Mr. Yale, as a young man, worked as an assayer at the miue away back in early days. From the croppings at that time he took away about one hundred pounds of very rich ore showing free gold largely (so he says), which he brought here to melt up and make a present to his wife. "He has that ore now and I presume 11 the parties who are promoting the sale of this property wished it, it could be obtained at its value. It seems to me it would be a great thing to have it, because what I ara saying to you is entirely reliable and authentic. "You may think I have delayed, but you do not know the amount of effort I have put into this since the receipt of the draft which you wished me to sign, and herewith enclosed. I could not, nor would I, affix my signature until I knew these figures were exactly correct." This mine has not been worked since the death of the late owner, as the insolvency of his estate caused prolonged litigation, from which the estate has been extricated and an absolutely perfect title vested in this Compay, who will now proceed to work this mine, which is perfectly equipped with a 20-stamp mm in penecr, wonting oraer, ana au me necessary macninery xor pumping, hoisting, etc , and will also begin immediately, and prosecute as rapidly as possible the exploration OI ail tne goia mining pomon 01 me esiaie, anu 10 ueveiup 11s umer muusincs.

Accurate accounts of the details of the operations of the Stonewall mine and mill are not obtainable, but the record in the Bank shows that Six Hundred and Fifty seven Thousand, Sixty Dollars and Thirty six Cents ($657,060.36) of value in bullion was produced trom January, isss.to July, 1890, during which time only an old 10-stamp mill was in use. The full capacity of such a mill would be thirty (30) tons for each twenty-four (24) hours, and if worked continuously, during the time named, the amount ot ore handled should nave Deen aoout twenty-seven mousana (27,oooj tons, thus showing an average value per ton for the ore of about Twenty-four Dollars (24). ' This is extraordinary, and perhaps unequalled, on a strictly free milling proposition. Nothing what ever was done with the tailings, under the old management. 1 Col. S. II. Lucas, our General Manager, states strongly his belief that he can so open up the Stonewall mine as to block out, during the next eighteen months, sufficient reserves of ore to enable him to work continuously a 40-stamp mill which would have a capacity of one hundred and twenty (120) tons per day, which, at the same average, as is shown in the past, would mean the production of Twenty-eight Hundred and Eighty Dollats ($2880) per day in gold. As the operation of a stamp mill is practically continuous, .barring accident, it is safe to figure on three hundred and fifty (550) working days in the year; this would show a product of One Million and Eight Thousand Dollars ($i,oo8ooo), equal to 17 per cent, per annum on the entire capital stock of the Companv, from a single nine, out ot the dozens that may be discovered on the property of this Company, 'to say nothing of its other great resources. The estate is all of great fertility and abundantly watered; about one-third is heavy timber, cedar, oak, pine and fir; one-third mesa iand, and the remainder valley lands ; the two latter of great value for stock raising, agriculture and fruit growing. A portion of the heights, command ing extensive views, of great beauty, over the semi-tropical country below, and of the coast and ocean, will bring high prices, when placed in the market, for hotel and residential purposes. The 20 stamn mill is in perfect order, and is as good as there is in the State. The buildings are substantially framed of wood with sides and roofs of corrugated iron. Altogether, the build ings connected with the administration of the Mine and Estate form quite a little village. The complete Official Prospectus of this Company, handsomely illustrated, giving the Direct ors and containing full reports on all resources of the Company, and detailing its plans for develop ment, is now in press, and will be furnished, on application, to those contemplating investment.
