HARQUA HALA.

Z
From Sam Butler, who last week re-
turned from the Harqua Hala mines,
the following information of that camp 10
gathered:
The Stein & Co. mine, or the Bonaza,
shalt is now being sunk and is now
down about sixty feet and shows plenty
OF rich ore. The owners Of the mine
have leased the mill at Harrisburgh, and
will work their ore there. They are
building road from the mill TO the mine,
q distance Of about eight miles.
George Members has a couple Of good
claims there. Is
III. A. Owens has six claims, but two
Of which any work has been done on,
and they are looking well, and il they
continue Jack win be a rich man.
Patrick Halpine also has half dozen
locations on the same ledge as Owens,
which are good enough for anybody.
w. G. Whorf has number Of claims
on which he has done considerable
work, and it is understood that he has
incorporated them and that great deal
OF work will be done this summer.
There are two saloons, one general
store and clearinghouse at the mines,
but it is probable that the town will be
Harrisburgh. There are about 200 men
scattered about the vicinity OF the Harqua
Halas.
Mr.. Butler owns several claims, but
little work will probably be done in that
section until next fall.
There are a number Of old Mohaye
county miners who have claims there,
but AZ little work has been done on any
of them their value is not known.
The Cerbat mill is expected to start
this week. The mill has been rearranged
the concentrators being placed near the
stamps and all the different parts Of the
machinery Of thoroughly overhanled, and
a new boiler added. Messrs. John Barry
and James L. Smithshave the lease anc
Mr.. j. G. Morton win have charge OF thu
mill. The mill viii be run on ore from
the Cerbat mine, although other ore
will be worked. A big lot of ore from
David Southwick will be the first rui
through. II is said that there Is plent.
OF good milling ore in the vicinity to keel
the mill running night and for years +
come. The mill is in the hands Of practi

The Buddhist Temples of Bangkok are costly
beyond description. There is one here con

which the King daily worShps, which has n

in its construction cost more than 100000.
This Temple of the King must have cost mil
lions. l visited it yesterday. Passing by the
armed men at the gate of the palace, my guide
conducted me through great walls into a vast
court filed with great buildings, faced with
painted porcelain and decorated with gold and
pieces of bright glass. Some of the buildings
had massive square pillars inclosing wide
cloisters and others rose story after story
into massive spires decorated with thou
sands Of gorgeous figures of men and
beasts, and showing here and there the golden
images of the holy elephant. Around the foot
base of these buildings and in the garden were
marble statues of the men of all nations in the
most curious costumes | noted Dutchman
with his pipe, a Mandarin with his umbrella
and Daimio with his twoswords. At one gate of
this temple there is statue of ST. Peter, which

1t is said that the temples of Siam are finer
than those of India. They are certainly very
impressive at distance, but upon close inspec-
tion they become tawdry, gaudy and cheap.
You find them in every part of Bangkok and
all over the realm. They are the only large
buildings, with the exception of the palaces of
the King aud their extravagant cost is one of
the reasons for the poverty of the people. The
better class of Siamese are fast losing their
faith IN Buddhism, and the missionaries tell
me that there are among them more agnOSticS
than Buddhists They believe in nothing, do
not know whether there is future state or
not, and are nearer the level of Bob Ingersoll
than Buddha. One reason for this is that ST.
ameSe literature aud science is mixed up with
its religion. The priests have been the learned
class of the kingdom, and the young Siamese
who have gone abroad to be educated, coming
back, find that their religion teaches them that
the earth is fat, and that it takes 200 years to
sail around it-at 200 miles per day. 1t says that
lightning is tho fash from the hatchet of
giant of the clouds, who. angry at his wife,
throws this at her through the air. And they
find so many things that science has taught
them are not true within it, that they give up
the whole thing and believe in nothing They
have more pliable natures than the Chinese,
and they do not object to listening to mission
ary teaching. This allowing every man to be-
come a priest is one of the great sources of

learning to work enter the priesthood, and loaf
around begging for several years, until they
become efiectually spoiled for future labor.
Some of the most vicious of the people are
among tho priests, and the beautiful theory of
the Buddhist religion has been dwarfed by age
into tumble of queer superstitions so that the
Siamese Of to-day worships spirits and spooks.
He believes in witches, and though he will not
kill living things for fear he may be destroy
ing the spirit of one of his ancestors, he is ad-

The next temple I visited was that of the
Sleeping Buddha. Here there is also wilder
ness of buildings crowned by spires which
seem to look almost as high as the Washington
Monument, and which are gorgeous and gaudy
in white stucco, colored porcelains bits of glass
of many hues, and gold. The Sleeping Buddha
is one of the largest idols of the world. 1t is
$50 feet long, and the soles of its feet measure
Is feet from toe to heel. A room 1S feet wide
makes a very good-sized parlor, and you could
not put the two soles of this Buddha's feet on
floor 16 feet square. The toes are all of the
same length, and Buddha lies on his side, rest
ing his great head on his arm. The arm near the
elbow is as big around as the largest oak tree
you have ever seen, and his golden ears, if stood
upon end, would reach about four feet higher
thsn the average ceiling. His length is greater
than the depth of the average city lot, and he is,
judge, nearly so feet thick at the waist. The
legs of this statue are about GO feet long, and
its toenails measure about 10 inches Upon
these are engraven the 10 attributes of Buddha,
and the sole5 of the feet are covered with bas-
reliefs inlaid with mother of pearl. The whole
lies upon pedestal about four feet high, and
it was originally plated with solid gold. Just
now this gold is beginning to peel off, and the
back shows that the gold is put on metal COW
ering. The Siamese make their own idols, and
this seems to be about the only thing they can
make. Idols are a regular article of sale at
some of the stores, and the penalties of the
Samese law for profaning an idol are fogging
and burning.

lime and tobacco. The betelnut is product of
a certain kind of palm tree. 1t is green, and
is as big as a walnut. The kernel is of a
spongy, soft, pithy nature, and it tastes very
bitter. 1t is much the same as tobacco in its
influence on the people nsing it, save that it
ruins the teeth, drives up the gums until the
roots of the teeth almost show, and out of the
mouth drops saliva as red as blood aud much
more disgusting. The habit makes the women
of Siam grow old at 50, and these short haired
old women, with their lean scraggy neclls, arms
and legs and busts bare, and their white hair
rising like brush over their wrinkled fore
heads above sunken black eyes, their cracked
dirty red lips bordering black, and half tooth
less gums are the worst specimens of woman
