IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY A. Clinical Preparation That Positively Kills (he Dandruff Germ A most important discovery has been made after a year's patient laboratory work aimod In a certain direction — It Is Nowbro's Herplcide, a preparation that prevents, falling hair, and speedily and permanently eradicates dandruff. These tvils are caused by a germ or parasllo that burrows into the scalp, throwing up dandruff, as it seeks to Bap the life of the hair at the root. There's no bald ness without fulling- or thin hair, no thin hair without dandruff, and no dandruff if the germ is destroyed. New bro's Ilorplcldo Is the only preparation that will do tho work.

MINERAL WEALTH OF COAST STATES VAST AREA OF GOLD DEPOSITS IN CALIFORNIA The Noted Guggenheim Family— Mine Near Barstow That Excels Scotty's Find In Value— Shasta Copper Mine The state of California from 1848 to 1896 produced more gold than any other state In the union, Colorado In 1897, after the discovery of the Cripple Creek mines, taking the lead, California now holding second place. Statistics given by the state mining bureau show that In tho distribution of gold deposits, asldn from their forms, California stretches through nine and one-half de grees of latitude and between the ex treme northwest and southwest corners Ihn direct distance is 775 miles, while the width in from 148 to 235 miles, the total nrea being 156,931 Bquare miles. The great range of the; Hlerra Nevada runs through nearly tho entire length of the state, on the eastern border, and the belt of coast ranges border the sea coast on thr. west. Along the Sierra Nevada range and Its foothills, and the northwestern coast ranee, and the southeastern desert region In the tier of counties extending from one side of the state to the other, there Is not n single ono without its gold deposits In one form or another. There Is gold on the ocean beaches of coast line, the mountain ranges, the foot hills, the val leys. Even the sandy -wastes of the Mojave and Colorado deserts have many productive gold mines. In Inyo county there are gold mines being worked nt elevations of 11000, 11,000, 13,000 and 13,500 feet, and in the same county, gold is being token out at places over 200 feet below the level ot the sea. It Is thus seen thru the gold deposits of California extend over a longitudinal area of 775 miles, a lateral area of an average of 191 miles ,£or extreme width or 235 miles) and a Vertical range of 13,700 feet. The Guggenheim Family To tho many who have read fre quent newspaper references to Amer ican Smelting and "The Guggenhelms" and some other interests got together and how fortunate It would be for the shareholders In the "other Interests" If such a coming together occurred. It will he interesting to know Just who the "Guggenhelms" are. A New York newspaper tells the story and sayß: "The members of the Guggenheim family, who me holleved In Wall street to own nn actual mnjority of the shares of the $100,000,000 American Smelting and Refining company, are an example of a real happy family. There are seven brothers, ench of whom possesses a great fortune of his own, and the ag gregate wealth of tho family runs Into the very many millions. These seven brothers work together In complete harmony. For all practical purposes in a business way they can be reckoned with as one Individual. It recalls the situation with the Rothschilds of Itiiirope on a smaller and more uniform scale. The Guggenhelms dominate the great smelting company, whose stock has made a sensational advance of nearly 100 points in a little over twelve months. Daniel Guggenheim Is both president of the company and chair man of the board, anil Isaac Guggen heim is the treasurer of the company These two aiid three other brothers are directors." Beats "Scotty's" Mine C. W. Roach claims to have discov ered a rich mine near Barstow, near the Grapevlno cemetery In Nevada TLnls Is the talk Roach gave the San Bernardino Tlmes-Inaex: VI don't have to be so mysterious about this. Nothing like 'Scotty' prop ositions for me. The gold Is there. I have it located, there is a watch man at the mine, and anybody who wants to see It may go there and look at It; I don't cafe whether he Is white, black or a Chinaman. It's every word true, and there's a whole lot more of it. Scotty' never had a mine, but this beats. the one ho said he had. No, I don't own all ot it myself. I only own a half interest In it. A Chinaman owns tho other half. You bet, you hit right; It's Wong Kee, the fellow who runs the restaurant at Barstow. Wong Kee grubstaked me for five months, when every white man turned me down, find I'm going to stick to him and do the right, thing by him, and I'm not RBhamed of my Chinese friend a little bit. "So far there are five mines located on that ledge— the Nettle, that's the first and best, and I named it after my wife; the Mabel, that's the next best, and I named it after my daughter; the Clarence Wll mer, that's not so good as the other two, but It's all there. And then I have the Jeanette and the Curly, which has my name. The other two mines are the Barstow and the Sun rise, and they were located by George Shaffer, an old miner, and his eon Charles Shaffer, who runs the. saloon at Barstow. "Old George Shaffer Is one of the oldest and best posted miners in this country, and he told me that he had never, in all his life, seen anything like It. When -I made the strike he went out with me and he helped me to locate It and place my monument. You see, he knows all about those things, and he's a mighty good friend of mine. "If you think It will Interest any body you might say that Shepherd is already hauling tools and employing men to go to work on his claims, and that the work will begin Inside of live days. "There is about flvo miles more of that ledge- to locate, and it's all irilghty rich. The Nettle is only three-quar ters of a mile from Barstow station', and everybody who comes out there is welcome." Valuable Property Beatty-Bullfrog Miner: Mr. Mont gomery states that the greatest depth of the Hhoshono Is only 200 feet, while 2000 feet of development work has been done. Rich ore Is found in every section of the mme — In shaft, tunnel und crosscut. Above tho lower level $4,000,000 worth of ore has been blocked out, and it is reasonable to assume tho values below aro greater than thosa above. At the mine 200 tons of ore worth $250 per ton are stored ready for Bhlpment; on the dump 300 tons more will go at $80 i>or ton, and 200 tons of low grade will run $10 per ton — all taken out in course of devel opment only. Of these values 60 per cent la gold and 40 por cent silver. Thirty men -are working at the Kho shone and Polaris now, and 100 more will be put to work on settlement of litigation. The Bhoshnne and Polaris will be operated together and a mill of 150 Htumps will Im built at Heady to hum I lit Urn oreß.

Considerable space is given to the discovery and the mining: of precious metals, and the report shows that Nevada came forward last year with one of the largest Increases in gold production. . The report says: "In Nevada the production of gold reached $5,060,494 in 1904, an increase over the preceding year of $1,990,144. Practically the whole of this Increase should be credited to the new camp ot Goldfleld, Which produced over $2,300, 000 during the year. The returns from Bilver producers indicate an increase of' $333,918, of which the greater part is derived from the Comstock mines. Tonopah remains very productive. With an output of about $1,230,000 of sliver, commercial value. Colorado added nearly $2,000,000 to her production of 1903, most of this amount coming from the mines of Cripple Creek. Nevada's output is Increased about the same amount, chiefly by reason of the phe nomenal yields of the Goldfleld mines." In Lower California Riverside Preßs: H. B. Slater and R. B. Sheldon returned today from their trip into Lower California to look into come mining propositions they have located at the extreme lower end of the peninsula. They have filed on sev eral gold mine claims that they con sider extremely rich, but another proposition seems to bear even more interest than the gold. This Is a rich and extensive mine of opaleno Jasper, a beautiful rock, which la classed In the list of precious stone. Mr. Slater carries camples of the rock, polished to a beautiful facing, which certalnjy show promise of immense value. They fully expect, on going deeper into their lode, to discover many pure opals. Mr. Slater leaves again tomorrow morning for this new claim. Ho goes to San Diego and from there to Kn senada, and on to La Paz, at which point he takes steamer and rounds the peninsula, stopping off in the region of their mining properties on the extreme lower end of the peninsula. At La Pas Mr. Slater will get his sur veyor and they will make the survey and catch the steamer on the return. Shasta Copper Mine Redding (Cal.) Free Press: There is a eeeno of great activity at the Uncle Bam mine, and Us next door neighbor, the Shasta Copper. These properties aro under bond from the Vlrgtnla Mining company, headed by Fred H. Dakln. and the company ope rating under tho bond has J. W. Nelll at its head. It Is an eastern company and Is spending considerable money on this property that has produced over a million of dollars In the past. Thomas A. Vardtn. a Placer county man, is superintendent, and J. C. Nelll Is foreman. The Uncle Bum is showing up bet- | ter as work progresses. The twenty* atamp mill In kept constantly at work on a good grade of ore ami forty inon are employed on tho property. The mill Is now operated by stvuiu, but In ■ the near future It is very likely that electricity will be installed. The company has now been operat ing tw6 months, with very satisfactory results. On the Shasta Copper mine, two miles from the Uncle Sam, the same company Is now driving a \)\g development tunnel which is now in fifty feet. In this mine are excellent indications of a quod paying ledge. The company expects to put In a tel ephone line from Redding to the mine. Personal Notes Xj. O.

USE FISTS, SAYS JUDGE Good Advice Given by Court to Small Boy Who Wielded a Knife Special to The Herald. ST. LOUIS, Dec. 17.— Judge Tracey in City Hall police court Friday peered over his gold-rlmmed glasses curiously. Before him was a very little boy, with big, wide open brown eyes, staring up at him. He was the tiniest and most innocent looking defendant who has been In court in many a day. "What is your name, my boy?" "Tommy Arnold, Blr." "Are you quite sure you are over fourteen years old, Tommy?" "Yes, sir," and the big eyes did not waver. v •.*•■■ "Well, Tommy, -.what did you do to disturb the peace) of Nicholas Brooke?" "I cut him, Blr." "Cut him?" and the glasses nearly slid off the Judicial nose. "Yes, sir." "With a knife?" "Yes, sir. It was out at the St. Louis Dressed Beef place on Manchester avenue. I was cutting kidneys and Mr. Brooke, he was trimming hogs. Some of the other boys were throwing kid neys at Mr. Brooke, 'and becuuse I was cutting the kidneys he thought it wai me. lie slapped me in the face and knocked me down. Then 1 took my knife and cut him." ' "Is he still in this world, Tommy?" Tommy looked puzzled. "I mean 1h he still alive, or is he In purgatory or some other place?" The brown eyes brightened. "O. yee, you see I only cut him in the leg." Judge Tracy frowned severely at his docket book for some time. Then he said: "Tommy, I don't know whether you were acting in self-defense, but don't ever use a knife again in such a way. It is a mean, ugly thing to u*e. Don't get into trouble, but when you do, leurn to get out of It with your Hutu. Only use v. weapon as the last resort. I am going to discharge you, Tommy." I "Thank you, sir," the boy auld.
