lying between the slave and sandstone. Be
low is n coarse sandstone which was found
also in another boring, and which bears oil
and is OF the same character as the Pennsyl-
vania second sandstone. AT 2S5 feet they
found oil, with plenty of gas In the sand
stone Passing below this they look for a
third sandstone before striking q flow OF
oil. 1t is confidently expected to find
oil flowing in abundance at from 500
to 1000 feet. The Eagle Oil company have
500 acres IN their tract The well which
thev will bore tho coming spring will begin
with an eightinch hole, which will be re-
duced to n five and five-eighth inch well as
soon as the oil-bearihg sandstone is struck.
The sandstone is OF q quality superior to that
OF Pennsylvania, and the gas already has
very strong pressure There are two or
others are being now made. They all ex-
hlbtt similar appearances of oil, giving the
strongest indications of supply with gas at
high pressure. One of the wells which L
saw Is securely plugged to the depth OF nj
teen feet, and yet despite this stoppage oil
and gas steadily escapes, indicating tre-
mendous power below. There will be at
least two other decisive experiments made
the coming season, and by year from the
present date we shall know certainly just
what the indications signify which 1 have
endcavored to describe.
1t should he ADDED that the cost of well
has alone hitherto preCluded decisive oper-
ations here. In Pennsylvanla the first well
has usually cost about s. 0O0, but here the
cost is estimated, after the railroad is
opened, at from s., 900 to $4,000 for depth
of 200 feet An oil claim taken under the
Placer act is of twenty acres; eight persons
may take 16O acres and quit-claim TO one per-
son. Assessment work of SlJ0 year must
be done for five years. ID. c. BROOKS.

west OF the central mass, the yellows
on the north and the blacks on the
south. fH'
The whites extended westward and
northward, giving birth to three
secondary typos-the Finish, tho Sc
mitic and the Aryan. IL we except the
Allophyles, which form a separate
group. Their area OF distribution is
continuous, as Is that of the yellows, be-
cause OF the extensive land surface OF
the Eurasian continent.
The yellows spread eastward and
crossed into America. The whites and
yellows checked or blended with each
other, producing many varieties of man.
The black, or negro type, which or
iginated on the south OF the central
mass, was compelled by the nature OF
the continent. and probably by the at
tacks of the whites and yellows. to go
south into Africa and east into the In
dian archipelago, or Melauesia
The proto-Semites arrested their dis
tribution in the north OF Africa, and tho
mixture of tho two races gave rise to
the negroid population. In the center
and south of Africa the blacks contin-
ued in their ethnic purity until the i'm
filtration of other races from Europe
and the north OF Africa in modern
times.
Those which remained in their origi-
nal home became blended with the
whites and yellows, giving rise to the
dravidian populations, which pass bv
shades into the three fundamental
types.
AS for the Allophyles, represented by
the race of Gro -Magnon, they occupied
parts of Europe and North Africa, from
which they extended to the Canaries.

J. II. Wilson, u Carpenter, Charged
With u Serious Crime.

j. Il. Wilson, Carpenter, Charged
With u Serious Crime.
j. r. Wilson is behind the bars in the
county Jail charged with the malicious de-
struction of property valued at less than S35,
but before the young man is liberated he
will be held TO answer u charge of much
more serious nature.
He was arrested at the instance of Mr..
Gould. who is foreman for DR.. George l..
Miller at the latter's place in Seymour
park. Wilson was employed under Gould as
a carpenter, and boarded at the latter's house
Saturday afternoon MIR. Gould and all his
family were away, with the exception of a
young daughter. Wilson went to the house,
ana finding the girl alone, is said to have
made indecent proposals to her and tried TO
force her to yield to his beastly desire. Sn g
made her escape, however, and ran to the
N Arrest neighbor, distance Of nearly half
mile.
When Mr. Gould returned the story was
charged Wilson with the act, which
the latter denied A dispute fol
lowed and Wilson picked up a spirit
level, which was lying near, and
made dash at Gould who pulled out his
pocket knife to defend himself. Seeing that
Gould would resist, Wilson dropped the
spirit level and vented his anger by kicking
the panels out of door. He boarded a Belt
line train, Mr. Gould following. A telephone
message was sent to the sheriff's office, and
Jailer Joe Miller met the train and placed
Wilson under arrest He was taken to the
sheriff's Office, where Mr.. Gould stated to
Sheriff Coburn that he would swear
out a complaint against Wilson for. the
malicious destruction of property, but did
not want to say anything about the assault
on his daughter, as he did not want to have
her appear IN court. Sheriff Coburn informed
HIM of the gravity of the offense, and insisted
on Gould making the proper information.
The county attorney Will probably flle an
information against Wilson to-day, charging
him with assault with intent to commit
rape.
Wilson was very indignant over his arrest,
and pompously informed Sheriff Coburn that
he coulu not hold him, as there would be no
charge made against him, ana he would Sc
cure writ of habeas corpus.

SURGEON HAMnTON's REPORT
Nearly Fifty Thousand Seamen
Treated Mt The Marine Hnsnifala.

Nearly Fifty Thousand Seamen
Treated at the Marine Hospitals.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The annual report
Of Surgeon General Hamilton, of the Marine
hospital service, comprises an octave volume
of more than four hundred pages and shows
that the steady increase which has marked
the relief work of the service for many
years, still continues. During the past fiscal
years nearly fifty thousand seamen were
treated at different hospitals and relief sta
tions throughout the United States.
A great deal Of space in the report is de-
voted to yellow fever An article on the
diagnosis of yellow fever" by Surgeon
Gulteras, calls especial attention to the
symptoms which appear early in the disease
and which will no doubt be of great value IN
any future outbreak of fever in
clearing up the uncertainty which
always has attended the arrival at definite
conclusion.
Surgeon Hutton, whowas in command of
Camp Perry gives an interesting sketch of
that establishment and the conduct of this,
the first camp of detention and observa-
tion," known in the history of epidcmics.
The establishment of the camp was an eS-
pertinent, but fully justified the most san
gune expectations. Surgeon Hutton also
contributes an article on the United States
inspection service, which explains the meas
ures taken to prevent the spread of fever to
other parts OF the country. Several other
surgeons contribute interesting articles on
yellow fever at different points.
DR.. Sternberg, of the army, contributes a
voluminous paper giving an Investigation of
the methods adopted IN Mexico and Brazil
for the prevention of yellow fever by inocu-
lation. The result of the investigation is
that the method is not protective and is
therefore valueless.

JOAQUIN MILLER.
The Poet Described Physically and
Mentaily--His Travels.

Imagine man with heart as tender
as a gentle woman's and yet as brave as
Richard Cnur de Lion; one who has the
physical attributes which are said to be
necessary for the making of a good sur
geon-"the eye of an eagle, the hand of
a lady, the heart of hon" Imagine
n man of less than medium stature and
flesh, dressed in black frocl suit, n
scarf tied loosely about his collar, which
is buttoned with diamond, and another
huge one of first water glittering on
left hand finger; broad-brimmed Pan
anna hat: great, pointed, gray nous
tache, hair falling in heavy curls almost
to the shoulders, not leonine, but cava-
lier fashion; the hair yellow. almost to
blonde, with white strealls in it--silver
threads among the gold. When the
Panama is removed vast eXpause of
forehead is seen and white bare place
on the crown-not Greenland, however
and you have something of the ap-
pearance of joaquin Miller the bril-
liant poet OF the Sierras." Says the
Tacoma Globe. He carried the money of
the Wells, Fargo express over the
mountains of Oregon and Washington
away back yonder in the early "SiX-
ties when he was barely out of his
boyhood, and has one stubby middle
finger which the wolves chewed off.
while he fought pack of them one
winter day IN 1862, laying about him
with dirk and revolvers and riding
tiercely over a mountain trail amid
deep snow-that winter of 1852 when
the Columbia was frozen from tide
water to source and all the beasts of
the forests and the Cascades were
raveuous with hunger. He has dined
with princes and felt hunger among
the lazzaroni OF Venice. He has
sat within gorgeous proscenium
hox of great theater in the repub
lies metropolis to see his own plays
produced and wildly applauded, and has
struggled on foot with staff in hand amid
the avalanches OF the Alps. He has been
himself from the simeon of the desert
monstrous breasts of the silent sphinx.
The modern centaur, the cowboy, and
the gentleman of elegant leisure are
blended in the man, as are also the an
tioue and unique. He has dabblcd in
Wall street and has wandered through
the ruins of Pompeii. He writes poetry
of to-day and Of the legends and tradi-
tions of the mound builders and cliff
dwellers. He talks wisely of the latest
inventions, and when he speaks of the
pyramids it would not test your credu-
lity if he told you that he had seen
them built. He is both philosopher
and raconteur. He is a wonderful
man, wise in the worlds ways, yet
child of nature; big hearted; considered
eccentric because he is natural and de-
spises sconventionalities.

IT WAS MOTOR DAY.
A Great Step Toward the Completion

A Great Step Toward the Completion
ofthe Kapid Transit System.
Yesterday was the street railway COM
pany's motor day.
1t was the formal beginning of this COM
pany's operation of motor lines and great
step toward the completion of u system of
rapid transit that reflects credit upon the
city and is a constant source of envy and
wonder to her slow going rivals.
The company put on all of it's available
motor cars on the line from Hanscom park to
the Belt line on North Twenty fourth
street, and they were crowded throughout
the day 10 their utmost capacity. The morn
ing was dsagrecably chilly but the line was
literally patronizcd on the early trips.
When the sun came out toward noon, and
the day be.lme warm and pleasant. the
crowds grew IN size, until it was absolutely
impossible to ccommodate the people seek
ing ride on the new line Horse
and cable cars were deserted,
and every street crossing from Fort
Omaha to Hanscom park thronged with
would-be passengers, many OF whom were
doomed to disappointment even after wait
ing for hours. There was limit to the COM
pauy's carrying capacity.
The line was new, the cars were new and
the motor men were inexperienced. For
these reasons the management thought IL
advisable not 10 use trail cars, and the motor
cars made the trips alone. Everything
worked very smoothly, considering the
circumstances, and no accident of
any KIND was reported. few of
the horse cars were kept on the line and
caused some delay in the operation Of the
motors so that the schedule running time
could not be maintained. IL is expected,
however, in few days that the cars will
make the round trip ia little more than
thirty minutes,
When the line is in regular operation a
ride over il will be an especially pleasant
one as il passes through the business part of
the city and the best residence portions
north and south.

THE ORIGIN OF OUR SPECIES.
Interesting Results of the Studies of
the Leading ErnnCh EthnOlOpiSt.

M. de Quatrefages, the leading
French ethnologist. in presenting the
second part of his introduction to the
Study of the Human Races" to the
Academy of Sciences, has given an
interesting summary OF his general
conclusions with regard to the origin
and distribution of mankind.
Neglectihg the minor differences, he
estimates that there are no fewer than
seventy-two distinct races in the human
species, says Galignani's Messenger.
All these descend or branch off from
three fundamental types-the black, the
yellow and the white-which had their
origin at the great central mass of
northern Asia, which is thus the cradle
of mankind
Representatives of these different
types are still to be found there. The
whites, according to M. de Quartre-
