No More Third Shift at the San
Quentin Jute-MiIl.
Meeting Of III, Board-Report Of the Fiaan-
ces - Electric Light Facilities - The
Grounds at Ione-Warden's Report.

At San Quentin yesterday morning at IL
o'clock, a meeting OF the Stale BO0rd Of Prison
Directors was held, Director r. T. Devlin, Pres-
dent of the board, in the chair. There were
present Directors Craig, Reddy and de Pue,
Director Sonntag being the only absent member.
The first business taken up was the reading Of
the experts report on the -four tests. The ex-
pert stated that after having practically tested
four brands of -four submitted 10 him, he found
that the Grown" brand is the best in every way
and recommended that II be used at the prison.
The recommendation was adopted with one dis.
sentiDg voice, Director de Pue voting adversely
Warden McComb submitted report in which
he detailed the manner In which he had had GER
tain samples of oil submitted TO special experts
in oil, Thomas Price s. Son of this city, These
samples were put in unabeled bottles numbered
differently. He also stated that the experts had
recommended an oil composed of GO per cent OF
mineral OIL and 40 PER cent of whale oil as being
The best for the manufacture OF jute sacks.
OIL FOR THE JUTE-MILLs.
The report OF Messrs. Thomas Price g. Son was
thereupOn read They stated having tested all
the samples and found only one containing any,
thing near the REQUISITE amount OF whale oil and
recommended that ii be used This oil contains
80 per cent OF whale-oil-Only 1 Der cent less
than what the experts had previously recon-
mended. Another sample contained % per cent
of whae-oil, aud still another IA per cent.
Superintendent Rector OF the 1ute-mills was
called in and questioned In reference to The oils
lie stated that the cheapest oil, containing linz
tied amount Of whae-oil Is the best for The State
to USE as II is as good in every way the dearer
qualities, since only moisture, while the jute is
between the oilers, is dried. His report over
weighed the Xperls' reports and the award was
made to Yates s. Co. at 151a cents per gallon for
oil containing II per cent of whale oil and the
remainder mineral OIL

But it wouldn't work.
Does thy spirit yearn to trayel,

The absurd superstition held by so
many that the opal brings ill-luck to its
owner, as if there were a compelling
power or genius residing in stones,
would not seem to be shared by those
who rate the two opals belonging to the
French crown jewels at fifteen thousand
dollars, or the famous one sent from
Hungary to the first Worlds Exhibition
at twenty thousand dollars, or by those
who protect the delicate and friable
edges of very brilliant specimens by a
thin lamina of quartz. The Hungarian
merchants who take the pains TO export
the opal to the East by means of Greek
and Turkish agents, from whence they
return to European markets as Oriental
gems, are hardly intimidated by the
existence of this superstition; nor could
Humboldt greatly have regarded il
when he brought to the polite world the
first specimens of the superb stone
known as the Mexican fre-opal, too
precious to be owned, with its red and
famed-colored splendors, by many with
less than imperial purses.-Harper's
Bazaar.
