Sa"c - ny way OF banner.
George says only about thirty tons OF
ore were shipped from Sheep Noun
tain this season. Ten locations have
been made this season in the new
district ten miles southwest Of Sleep
M"untain aud fifteen miles from Cape
Horn. The ore carries chlorides with
black sulphurets. Developments
have not yet been made to All extent
that would make an opinion of the
district anything more than an opin-
ION based on probabilities and sur
face prospects; but the surface show
ing is sufficient to warrant the belief
that the district will prove to be
good one. Mr.. baldwin made the
first discovery and is interested ia
four locations. Baldwin s. Bell had
sixteen hundred pounds of ore, from
one of their claims Oh Sheep Noun
tain, crushed in the Custer mill. 1t
turned out 81 per pound. Mr.. Bald
win says the ore was taken from
small spur or feeder, and 1900 pounds
was all there was of it. George saws
AL Bomar is putting in bedrock
fume at Stanley Basin, and expects
to make little stake out of his plac-
er claim next season. es
WV. HooToN Informs US that the
Anderson Bros, Of Eagle Rock, have
completed an irrigating ditch which
takes water out of the South Fork of
Snake river twenty-five miles above
Eagle Rock. The ditch, or canal, in
Guiding Its branches, is thirty miles
long, and covers 35O, 900 acres OF
land, but of course does not carry
water enough to irrigate all of this
immense tract. Settlers are flocking
to the land covered by this canal.
The Anderson Bros. settled where
Eagle Rock now stands, twenty years
ago, and had a trading post there, on
the road to Montana, and owned the
bridge known as Taylor's bridge.
Mr.. Hooton became acquainted with
the Anderson Bros. while en- route to
the head of Snake river with pros
pecting party in 1866, and on this
trip the acquaintance was renewed.
They have large store in Eagle
Rock, and Mr.. Hooton says they are
enterprising, go ahead men.
We thought sure we had real,
readable eye-tem yesterday when
julius Mautz stepped into this office
with blind-fold over his left eye
and serious look in the right one,
but were agreeably disappointed
when Julius Informed us that he had
not been IN a fight and that the eye
was not badly damaged. Julius was
pounding iron when red-hot scale
flew therefrom and lit in the corner
of the eye, next to the nose. 1t 1t
had struck squarely in the eye it
would have ruined the sight or seri-
ously damaged it. Items are scare
this week, and like everything else,
the value increases IN the same ratio
that the supply decreases. A real
item just now is highly priced; but
nevertheless we could not rejoice over
getting an eye-tem, constructed, as 1t
we're, on the ruins of friends optic

The Chinese who came from Port
land to investigate the condition OF
the property of those Chinese who
were lynched at Pierce City, came
back from their investigation to Lew
iston Saturday morning, and i: is said
they expressed themselves satisfied
with the action of the Indian vigilan-
ties; that the parties who were hung
were guilty parties in the murder of

which we infer that the tough old
soldier has recovered his health,
despite efforts to the contrary by the
staff of doctors in consultation, aided
and abetted by Pastor Newman and
the ever-vigilant corps of New York
reporters. His partial recovery even,
under the perpetual worry and excite
ment to which he was subjected, is
somewhat of miracle.
There is another hitch in the AT
CHAN boundary question, but it is to
be referred to the arbitration of the
King of Denmark. We venture to
predict that this sovereign prince will
displease both parties. II is not con-
sistent with common sense that an
amiable old gentleman, unfamiliar
with the points at issue, but init
mately related by family ties with
the Car and Empress of India, ill
be able to satisfy the ambitious de-
signs Of Russia on the one hand and
the "irrevocable demand" of Eng
land on the other. If the powers di-
rectly interested cannot agree, how
can he reconcile their interests with
out discrediting in degree the pre-
tensions and policy of both ? Arbi-
tration after the event to assess dam
| ages, is one thing arbitration in adj
vance of military operations can only
postpone the evil day of war very
little while. This is evidently the
| opinion of Sir Peter Lumsden and
the Russian Government, whatever
Mr.. Gladstone and Earl Granville
may think about it.
The SOudan is being as speedily
evacuated as possible, and FL Mahdis
forces are occupying the posts vacated
! by the British. This is sad and
miserable ending of as tragic and
| theatrical blunder as the history of
nations can furnish. England has
gained one important move in the
| game, however. She has tied up
Turkey to British interests, and in
case of war with Russia, an English
feet will enter the Dardanelles.
In American news there are few
points of interest outside social and
commercial matters. We publish
elsewhere our usual special review of
the sugar markets of the world,
which is as full and complete to-day
as possible. 1t will repay perusal.
Shareholders in the Hawaiian Com
mercial Company will be gratified
also at the upward turn in prices OF
that stock.

THE AGRICULTURAL SHOW.

It must be admitted that the show
of the Royal Agricultural Society on
Saturday last was a failure. It was
not what it should have been in
point of numbers, merit or variety.
To say that some good horse stock
was exhibited is not any answer to
our statement. There is a great deal
of very superior stock in the King
dom which was not on exhibition,
but which should have been there.
The Directors will understand that
in making these remarks we are not
writing in a carping spirit. On the
contrary, we seek simply the pro-
gress and advancement of the Society.
But if Saturdays show be the very
best it can do in one specially Sc
lected line of exhibits, we can really
see no reason for prolonging its exist
ence. 1t does not promote emulation;
it cannot offer sufficient inducements
to breed for prizes and the money
value these give to successful stock;
and it is dismal failure as popular
draw Who would care to hire an
express and drive from the city to see
few very ordinary horses paraded
in Kapiolani Park? Yet one must
drive to the Park or miss the show.
Those who saw the late show will not
be slow in coming to the conclusion
that this would be a great waste of
monav

OUR SUPPLEMENT.

We publish to-day a three page
supplement of the report of the trial
of Adolph B. Spreckels, in continu-
alton of our initial report of the 9Th
instant. It will be read with very
great interest, we doubt not, by every
person in the Kingdom, where the
father and family of the defendant in
the De Young shooting case are so
well and favorably known.
The only San Francisco newspaper
that printed full, true and impartial
report of the trial, so far, has been the
Examiner" which employed a
shorthand writer and presented the
public with an ungarbled and absO-
Iutely reliable report from day to day.
Through the courtesy of the "Ex-
aminer" we are enabled to publish
this identical report precisely as it
appeared in the A" Examiners
columns, having procured, at very
considerable expense and trouble,
stereotype plates of the same. From
these plates we print our three
pages of supplement. In addition to
this, we likewise publish long &C
count of foreign news in to-day's
paper, with American and European
dates to June 9th. Thus, all the
news of the world is coIlated and pre-
sented to the subscribers of the P, @.
ADVERTISER the morning after the
arrival of a steamer from San Fran
cisco, in addition to our full and very
complete local reports and items.
All this goes to build up and make
a great newspaper. The way of SINH
lar success is open to our contempt
raries also, but they fail to enter it,
content with printing stale news and
yelping unavaiIing at our heels. The
public, of course, understand the
spirit of petty jealousy to which we
refer, and need not therefore be APP
DeaIed to on the matter.
In conclusion, we must bear testi-
monv to the general excellence of the
81 Examiner" as a metropolitan jour
nal. Its Geographic dispatches are
always full and reliable, and its news
columns will bear comparison with
the best and most enterprising papers
in America. 1t is edited by Mr.. |
Clarence Greathouse, a lawyer by |
but journalist by choice |
and instinct.

ROLLIN M. DAGGETT.

The Hon. r. NJ. Daggett, until the
18th instant United States Minister
Resident at the Hawaiian capital,
leaves by the Mariposa To-Day, ac-
cempanied by his amiable and accom-
plished Wife 1t is becoming, there
fore, to speak of him as one who, in
his official relations with the King
and Government of this country, dis
charged his functions with rare tact
and uniform courtesy. He never
forgot that he was accredited by the
President of the United States to the
sovereign of this country, and took
care not to mix up in the domestic
politics of the Kingdom. His career
was therefore successful one, and he
leaves many true and tried friends
behind him. We regard it as ex-
tremely probable that Mr.. Daggett
has wider field of political activity
opening before him in his own coun-
try (; but be this as it may, we are
certain he will ever be found to be
q willing and vigorous champion of
this Kingdom and people. In COM
mon with troops of friends, we wish
the Hon. Mr.. and Mrs. Daggett a
pleasant voyage and prosperous and
happy future.

To the Public.

The fact that the Harden Hand Grenade
failed 10 exunguish the exhibition fire
Saturday evening, renders it necessary that
an explanation be made, so that the popu-
larity Of the grenade may not suffer
thereby.
1t cannot be expected that such large,
open-air FIRE could be extinguished, with
such heavy wind blowing, as had TO con
tend with Saturday evening, unless 8 large
quantity of grenades are used and il was
certainly an act Of misjudgment on my part
that the exhibition was attempted under the
circumstances, without a larger supply of
grenades at hand and some one TO help me.
I sincerely regret this neglect on my part.
1 respectfully ask the forbearance of
public opinion until other tests are given,
under similar conditions as the last, when
I trust that I will satisfy one and all, as
with the previous exhibitions, that the little
blue bottle will do all, and more than all,
that is claimed for it. The great reputation
of the Harden Hand Grenade throughout
the world. its adoption by the United States
Government, railroads, steamship COM
anies, etc, ETC., together with its numer-
Gus Endorsements by fire marshals, insur-
ance people, and the practical proofs of over
six hundred actual fires extinguished by the
Harden Hand Grenades, shout certainly be
a sufficient guarantee to the public that
they are meritorious.
Very respectfully,
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1885-06-15
THE SPRECKELS' TRIAL.
Close of Colonel Claus SpreckeIs'
Testimony.

Testimony.
The following is the concluding portion
of the examination of Colonel Spreckels, on
the trial of Adolph 3. Spreckels, for shoot
ing at and wounding NJ. De Young, not
published in our theee-page supplement.
1t is in continuation of the report in the
supplement:
Colonel Spreckels further said that he
never intimated that he wished to relinquish
his American citiz .nship. He also denied
that he knew anything GFout the Order Of
the Garter" or negotiat ted with King Kala-
kaua for his abdication in favor Of one of
his (witnessD sons.
CARD OF DENIAL.
The attention of the witness was called to
a card published in the "Chronicle,' Octo-
Der u, 1881, purporting to be signed by the
witness, which article was read by MI.
Highton. The card denied many assertions
made in articles published in that paper.
The witness admitted that he wrote the
card. At the suggestion of the prosecution,
Mr.. Bighton read the comments following
the card The card referred to a statement
made by Portuguese named Asumpsao,
who was employed on the islands under a
contract. Leprosy, said the witness, has
never been spread by any employee of mine
in the islands.
Mr.. Highton read leader published in
the Chronicle of March "a, 1888, headed
Hawaiian Leprosy."
Mr.. Highton also read leading article
published in the same paper July 6, 1898,
headed Hawaiian Contract Labor" in
which it was stated that coOlie labor on the
islands was the work of the sugar ring,
and charging that the United States kept NJ
system of slavery in the islands by sub
sides. An article published on February
Is, 1883, headed 'Leprosy in Hawaii, was
also read in which it was suggested that
the infectious disease might be transmitted
by the expectation of sugar, in the manu-
facture of which lepers are employed, tc
other countries.
QuestiOn-Have you ever employed sanN
person affected with leprosy?
An objection by the prosecution to the
question was argued at length iby Messrs
Campbell, Highton and Taylor, and judge
ToOhY sustained the objection.
The Court adjourned till IL o'clock OF
Monday, June 8th.
