Notable for Their Durability.
A most important feature of the flat,
indestructable records used on the Co-
lumbia Disc Graphophone is their dura-
bility. The material used is a compo-
sition exclusively controlled by the Co-
lumbia Phonograph Company, pioneers
and leaders in the talking machine art.
While its peculiar character admits of
its receiving the most minute vibra-
tions, the composition is hard enough
to resist wear. For this reason Colum-
bia Disc Records outlast all others
while they are vastly superior in qual-
ity. Instead of being of being scratchy
and muffled, they are smooth, clear,
resonant and possessed of a volume
that is truly marvelous. Only those
who own Columbia disc machines and
the perfected disc records of the Co-
lumbia Phonograph Company, have a
just conception of the progressthat has
been made in bringing this type of ma-
chines and records to the highest possi-
ble point of desirability.

| three types, selling at $15, $20 and $30.
| Seven inch records 50c each, $5 per

CALIFORNIA LETTER.
Promising New Gold Fields—The
Great Deserts of California and
" Their Dangers — Pen Pie-
tures of Wild and Awe-
Inspiring Seenes.
GoLDSTONE, San Bernardino, county,
Cal., Oct. 14, 1902.—While I am enjoy-
ing my annual vacation and looking
after some mining interests up here, I
will take time to acquaint the readers
of THe Star with something about this
desert section of Southern California.
Goldstone is a new mining camp,
about 300 miles northeast of Los Ange-
les, in San Bernardino county, the
largest county in the United States,
also perhaps the dryest, most rugged
and richest in minerals. With the ex-
ception of the extreme southwestern
corner, where the flourishing towns of
Redlands, San Bernardino, Colton, On-
tario and Chino are situated,almost the
entire area of this vast county, com-
prising a domain about one-fourth the
size of the state of Pennsylvania, is a
succession of arid plains diversified by
solitary buttes and immense chains of
mountains that are almost impassable
on account of the surpassing steep-
ness and ruggedness of their slopes.
In the southwestern part of the
county is the lofty San Bernar-
dino range, the highest peaks of
which have an altitude of more than
10,000 feet. These mountains cut off
the cool, moist breezes from the Pacific
which give the coast regions of South-
ern California their incomparable cli-
mate. Beyond them are the Mojave
and Colorado deserts, hemmed in and
intersected by innumerable mountains
of varying height and extent. At
places the desert dips below sea level
and beyond it the mountains tower to
a height of 10,000 or 12,000 feet.
In the greater part of this vast region
rain seldom falls, but when it does, it
usually comes in the form of cloud-
bursts which scarify the precipitous
mountain sides with immense gullies
and send raging torrents down the dry
ravines and canons, carrying immense
boulders and various sorts of debris
to the desert plains, portions of which
are at times converted into inland seas,
but from which the water quickly
evaporates or is as quickly absorbed by
the dry, porous soil. It is these occas-
ional floods that afford moisture fo
the growth of the sparse vegetation
that covers the mountains and the
greater part of the desert itself. Only
the hardiest and most forbidding plants
grow in this arid region, however. The
most characteristic flora is the cactus
family embracing scores of varieties
from little prickly dwarfs no larger
than the palm of a man’s hand, to the
giant suaria as big around as a barrel
and thirty feet in height. Then there
is the ever present sagebrush and
greasewood, chaparral, yucca palms
and dry, coarse bunch grasses. The
higher altitudes of the mountains, es-
pecially the northern slopes, are cover-
ed with scrub timber, principally juni-
per, pinone and live oak.
PROMISING MINING CAMP.
It is on one of these wooded slopes of
the Providence mountains that your
correspondent’s tent is at present
pitched. The city of Goldstone, which
has sprung into existence since I was
up here last February with a party of
Los Angeles business men and miners
on a prospecting trip, consists at the
present time of five frame buildings
constructed of rough boards—the mine
superintendent’s residence, dining hall
and three bunk houses for the men em-
ployed in the mines—one tent occupied
by myself and family, and ablacksmith
shop. It is the camp of the Proyidence
Gold and Copper Company, which, I
believe, is destined to become one of
southwest. The mountains hereabouts
are seamed with great ledges of ore
that assays from $10 to $300 a ton in
gold, besides silver, copper, lead, iron
and other minerals in less proportion.
The company owns over 300 acres of
the best of these mineral lands, known
as the Goldstone group of claims—a
claim being a strip of ground 1,500 feet
long by 600 feet wide, following a
well defined ledge or vein of ore.
One of the essentials in successfully
working a mine is an abundance of
wood and water in proximity to the
mine. The Providence Gold and Cop-
per Company has these, there being
several fine springs on its grounds and
hundreds of thousands of cords of ex-
cellent firewood. A good start has
been made in the last six months for
getting out the ore, of which, it has
been demonstrated, there is an unlimi-
ted quantity that can be profitably
worked. Several shafts have been
sunk to a depth of 100 feet and now a
big tunnel is being driven to crosscut
the veins. The next step will be to
erect a mill to crush and separate the
ore, which is free-milling, that is, will
admit of being crushed and having the
gold extracted without the forces of
smelting—a condition very much in
favor of economic operation.
DEVELOPING A MINE.
The cost of developing a mine like
this is considerale. In the first place
all supplies must be shipped from Los
Angeles a distance of nearly 300 miles
by rail ; then freighted across a burn-
ing desert a distance of 25 miles by
wagon ; then packed up a steep and
tortuous trail a distance of one-fourth
to one-half a mile on mule back: But
the survey of the new Los Angeles-
Salt Lake railroad runs within a few
miles of Goldstone, and as soon as that
road is completed, which it surely will
be inside of the next two years, Gold-
stone will be easy of access. By that
time, also, I believe the Providence
Gold and Copper Company will be pay-
ing a handsome dividend on its $3,000,-
000 capital, or at least on such part of
the capital stock that has been issued.
It has been the policy of the company
to sell only as much of its stock as was
needed to raise money for development
work. The first block of stock was put
on the market at 2 cents a share on a
par value of $1, but the office price at
the present time is 25 cents. Enough
has been sold to carry on development
work thus far.
Not being a capitalist, I have a very
small interest in the company, but my
confidence in its property and manage-
ment are such that I have not hesitat-
ed to invest all the funds I had to
spare, in its securities. The interest
which brought me out here, however,
was to look after a claim that I have
adjacent to the Goldstone group. In
order to get title to a mining claim on
government land, one must have done
at least $100 worth of development
work by the end of the first calendar
year succeeding the one in which notice
of location was posted on the land and
filed in the office of the county record-
er. My time will have run out by the
end of the present year, and it is for
the purpose of perfecting title that I
am out here for a few weeks. I am
also combining pleasure with business
by having my family here to visit the
family of the superintendent of the
Providence mines, George L. Berg, who
is one of the best friends I have on
earth. :
A MAN AMONGST MEN.
Mr. Berg is such a man as the editor
of THE Star would delight to know—a
very giant in stature and strength and
the equal of about four average men at
any kind of work he sets himself to.
He is a dead shot with a revelver,shot-
gun or rifle and whenever the camp is
in need of fresh meat he goes out and
bags a mess of jack rabbits, cottontails
or quail which are very plentiful within
a few miles of camp. Berg armed me
with a hammerless $125 Colt’s shotgun
the other day and took me out on a
hunting expedition. It was the first
time I handled a shootingiron in about
17 years, but I managed to knock over
one jack and one cottontail, while Berg
bagged four big jackrabbits with a
Winchester repeating shotgun.
There is a band of bighorn montain
sheep roaming the peaks here, but they
are very wild and it is against the law
to kill them, a fine of $500 being the
penalty attached. The sheep came
down to Berg’s well at night, this sum-
mer, for water, and ate off his grape
vines which he was nursing with great
crae. Had he caught them at it, the
camp might have had fresh mutton for
a change, in spite of the fine, and the
fact that the superintendent allows no
shooting within sight of the camp. As
a consequence of this inhibition, the
shine more brilliantly than from these
mountain heights. Here would be an
ideal spot for an astronomical observa-
tory. It would also be a good resort
for persons suffering from pulmonary
complaints. In the winter the moun-
tains are sometimes covered by a light
fall of snow, but winter or summer the
clear, crisp atmosphere never loses its
invigorating, health-giving properties.
Last Sunday the entire population of
Goldstone formed a picnic party and
we trudged to the highest peak within
easy walking distance of the camp.
From the summit we could see a hun-
dred miles in any direction, over moun-
tains wild and deserts drear, while di-
rectly beneath us lay the “Devil's
Playground,” an immense basin filled
with white drifting sand as fine as
flour. In the center of this basin the
sand is piled up in a huge drift, re-
sembling a small mountain range, prob-
ably 800 or 900 feet high, and looking
for all the world like a large snowdrift.
This basin evidently is the bed of an
ancient inland sea, the white beach
sand now being all that remains of it.
The sun beating down upon the wide
expanse of sand causes the atmosphere
of the basin to become heated like a
furnace, and the hot air to asscend as
in a flue, while the cold air rushes
down from the lofty summits of the ad-
jacent mountains and piles the sand in
fantastic drifts.
Beyond the “Devil’s Playground,” we
could see the Mojave Sink, where turg-
id waters of the Mojave river, a stream
of considerable size, lose themselves in
the sands of the desert below sea level.
Beyond this we could see the glaring
surface of Soda Lake and still beyond
the mountains of Inyo county, sur-
rounding Death Valley, that most dread
of all American deserts, and next to
the Dead Sea, the deepest depression
on the face of the earth.
DANGEROUS GROUND.
To wander through the “Devil's Play-
ground” is all that a man’s life is worth.
Even the desert between the Provi-
dence mountains. and the Santa Fe
railroad, which we had to cross in com-
ing here, is dangerous, the temperature
often rising as high as 145 degrees. It
was comparatively cool when we came
across, Oct. 5, but only a few weeks
previously two miners who undertook
to tramp from Fenner, the nearest
railroad station to Goldstone, a dis-
tance of 26 miles, nearly lost their
lives. They started with only five
quarts of water between them, and
that was consumed before they got
half way. Imagine walking in sand
ankle deep under a broiling sun for
hours and hours without a drop of
drink and no shade or shelter of any
kind from the fierce heat! Such was
the predicament of these venturesome
men. One of them reached Gladstone,
after nightfall in a raving condition, his
tongue so swollen-and parched that he
could hardly talk. He threw his arms
around the water cooler and laughed
and cried with joy as soon as he came
in sight of it. When he was refreshed
he told about having left his compan-
ion about five miles back in a dement-
ed condition and unable to push on
any farther. Superintendent Berg
hastily saddled a mule and taking a
canteen of water went to the rescue.
He found the man floundering around
among the cactus in an aimless man-
ner, and arrived barely in time to save
his life. ’
The desert is dotted with the bleach-
ed bones of prospectors and travelers
who died of thirst, yet the barren
wastes bave a fascination for those
who have once visited them that is al-
most irresistible, and so long as the
lust for gold lures men to their fate, so
long will the desert be a sepulcher fill-
ed with dead men’s bones.

| Startling, But True.
“If every one knew what a grand
| medicine Dr. King’s New Life Pills is,”
The Grapes that Make the Wine
that Makes Good Blood.
One of the oldest and most entensive
industries in Passaic is that of the
Speer New Jersey Wine Company.
This business, begun in a small way by
Alfred Speer over forty years ago, has
grown until today its wines are sent to
every state in the Union, and wherever
they go Speer’s wines are known as the
pure product of the.grape and are
highly prized for medieinal purposes.
In fact it was for ibe medical profes-
sion that Mr. Speer first began the
manufacture of his wine.
The grapes from which his famous
Port and Burgundy are made are rais-
ed in his vineyard in Van Houten ave-
nue, this city. There he has the only
vineyrrd in this country of genuine
Oporto grapes, the grape from which
Port wine is made. The original plants
for the vineyard were imported by Mr.
Speer from Portugal and the vineyard
was planted in 1867. The vineyard
contains at the present time about
fifty-two acres, the greater part of
which consists of the Oporto vines. A
few acres on the northern end of the
lot are planted with Concord grapes.
With these Mr.Speer supplies the local
market and some of them are blended
with the Oporto grapes in making clar-
et wine.
The vineyard is laid out with road
arbors, under which one may drive run-
ning in both directions. There are in
all over two miles of these arbor drives
in the vineyard. Between the arbors
the vines are supported by wires strung
on posts.
miles of this wire which Mr. Speer
purchased from the Western Union
Telegraph Company some years ago.
The grapes raised in this vineyard
and the wine produced from them are
rich in iron and very sweet. This Mr.
Speer explains is a result of cultivation.
The soil is rich in iron and this is shown
in the grape, giving a dark, rich color
to the wine and also giving it a medic-
inal value. The extra amount of sugar
in the grapes, making them much
sweeter than those of the same variety
grown in other vineyards, is the result
of treating the soil with potash, by a
method which Mr. Speer followed for a
number of years. Hundreds of car-
loads of German potash were brought
here for the purpose and in addition to
this loads of leayes which are rich in
potasium,were gathered from the neigh-
boring woods each fall and brought to
the vineyard, where they were allowed
to remain during the winter and decay,
and in the following spring they were
mingled with the animal fertilizer and
spread over the ground. This treat-
ment was followed year after year until
the soil had become ideal to the pro-
duction of the grapes.
The grapes in the vineyard are now
ripe enough for eating and the Con-
cords are being picked for market, but
before the Oportos are ready to be
turned into Port and Burgundy they
must remain on the vines until they
are thoroughly ripe and have begun to
“raisin” or shrink. Then they yield
their full richness and sweetness,which
is so noticeable in all the wines pro-
duced by Mr. Speer. About the end of
the present month the grapes will be
ready to gather and the winepresses
will then be started, converting the
ripened grapes into rich Port and Bur-
gundy.—Passaic Daily Herald, October
