Mr. Purdy's funeral was attended, Thurs
day.-When he began his duties as col
lector of taxes for the town of Fairfield,
Francis M. Pike promised that at the end
of the year there would be very little to
abate; and all attachments for which he
asked would be those absolutely non-col-
lectible. How we'll he has kept his word,
without the disagreeable necessity of
levying on property, may be seen at a
glance from the subjoined statement fur
nished by him to the BEE:
l. Francis NJ. Pike, tax collector of the town
of Fairfield on list of 1889, wish to offer to the
tax payers of the town OF Fairfield the follow
ing statements: - -
Amount OF tax book, 1885, $27 1868 So
Amount paid town treasurer, 27,l54 Of
Balance, 100 81
Oct 1890, abatement, 1851 50
Abatement on Southport

batement, non resi-
dent bank stock tax,
Edwin III. Sherwood, $21
Jesup Wakeman S0-----25 80
Total attachments, 1858 81
Fairfield, April ID, 1891.
This is far more creditable showing
than can be made by the books of any
tax collector of the town for score of
years and more and there is hardly tax
collector in the county who, Circumstance
es being equal, can show similar good
results. Sheriff Pike has kept at his du-
ty assiduously and has finished his work
in less than the allotted time. And of
the present abatement of 1858 81, $l93 so
is abatement on the Southport national
bank stock. This cannot legally be taxed
at the amount at which it is set down in
the tax books and the matter should
have been brought up at the last annual
meeting; but as it was overlooked, the

Some of the fruit-growers of Cuca-

ate locality will dry most of their apri-
cots, as experience has taught them
it is more profitable to dispose of their
crop in this way than to sell it to the
eyaporator or cannery. 1t is a notorious
fact that growers of deciduous fruits in
the southern part OF the state have never
received as large prices for their fruit as
growers in the northern part. There is
no reason why this should be so. A CO.
operative union among the growers for
the purpose of preparing and marketing
the crops would be commendable

TEMEcULA TIN.
The Process of Getting Out and Work
ing the Ores.

Ing the OTeS.
The vein in which they are now work
ing varies in width from feet to 10 feet.
The process OF reducing the ore is very
simple, and is called crushing, concen-
trating and smelling. The ore comes
from the stamp mill reduced to a fine
powder and passes into the concentrat-
ors, where, by washing, SO much of the
foreign material is eliminated that it
comes out about 20 per cent. oxide of
tin, and resembles fine black sand. 1t
is then smelted and nodded into bars,
ingots or pigs, as it is variously called,
of two sizes, weighing 60 pounds and 100
pounds each.
One difficulty in smelling is that the
great heat required to reduce the
stannic oxide Q500 degrees) may
also partially reduce other oxides
which then enter the bath with
the tin, or certain chemical changes
may take place by which some of
the tin passes into the Stag or is lost
in other ways. There is always more or
less waste from these causes, the amount
depending on the nature of the ore, the
fuel used and the kind of furnace in
which it is smelted. The great object is
TO reduce the tin as quickly as possible
and remove it at once from the influence
of the heat, and it is so arranged that
the molten metal flows Immediately into
bath outside the furnace. In attempt
ing to reduce the waste to minimum,
Superintendent Mathey constructed a
combustion chamber for the use of
crude petroleum as fuel. AS an expert
ment the result was beyond his eXpecta-
tions, it being easy to secure even a
greater temperature than that required
and the time of smelling was reduced
from seven or eight hours to four and
hall hours, with great saving of tin in
consequence. Mr.. Mathews invention
has been patented and is considered a
valuable improvement.
The market value of tin metal at pres
ent is 25 cents per pound; and as one
pound will plate 20 pounds of sheet iron
with the best quality plate Though
most of our tinware cannot boast so
thick coat, it will be seen that the
Mckinley tariff of cents per pound,
which takes effect in 1898, will give the
home product an advantage of $50 ton
without appreciably increasing the price
of tin plate to the consumer.
Though the best tin of commerce
comes from Banca, an island of the
Malay Archipelago, the largest quantity
of it has been supplied by the Cornwall
mines, the annual output being about
5000 tons of metal, but OF late years
Australia has come into sharp competi-
ton. Our new mine has already made
two shipments of pig tin via San Diego,
and when the reduction works are COM
pleted and worked to their full capacity
of $50 tons of ore per day, yielding the
present average OF 10 per cent, the an
nual product of metallic tin will amount
to about 5000 tons, or almost enough to
displace the imported article, thereby
distributing in our own country the
many millions of dollars heretofore sent
abroad for tin in various forms-[ River

Piece of Work.
Yesterday afternoon HERALD report
er paid visit to the power honse of the
Belt Electric road and found everything
working in apple-pie order. The road,
according to present indications, will be
in operation on or about August 1st, al
though part of the line will be operated
by the 1st of July. The power house OF
the system is a gigantic affair, which
will be completed in less than two
weeks.
Yesterday the most difficult piece Of
work was completed by Andy McNally,
the brick contractor. That this adds to
his many laurels in this line goes with
out saving. The smoke stack was yes
terday finished, and at noon the Amer
ican flag could be plainly seen floating
from the top from every part OF the city
This meant the completion OF McNally's
work, the great smoke stack. In order
to give the HERALD readers knowledge
of the gigantic proportions of the smoke
exhauster, the foundation of the smoke
stack is thirteen feet below the surface,
and is composed of the best Portland
cement. From base to dome the height
is 175 feet, % feet in diameter at the
base and IL feet at the dome. In this
structure there were used 10000 bricks
For the first thirty feet the stack is
straight, for the next forty feet octagon,
and for the rest of the distance it con-
sists of thirty-two angles. 1t is very
difficult and complicated piece of brick
work.
At l AS Mr.. McNally hoisted the
American flag, and laid the first piece of
the last stone coping of the stack. This
is the highest and best piece OF brick
work done at any place west of Chicago.
Mr.. McNally descended after laying his
final piece of coping and invited a
HERALD reporter to ascend, and again
he took the lead, others following. For
140 feet there was an elevator, and the
remaining thirty-fve feet of ascent was
made by scaffolding. In the party was
Superintendent Muir, of the Southern
Pacific railroad, who staid with the pro-
gramme, although the climbing was not
the most comfortable in.this world.
The view from this 175-feet altitude
beggars description. The descent was
made with little trouble, and on arriving
at the bottom the courageous trio were
greeted with many cheers from all the
awaiting coterie.
Captain A. w. Barrett invited the
gentlemen to inspect the other parts OF
the works, which was accepted, and in
a later number of the HERALD will be
given complete description of the
building and mammoth railroad enter

PECULIAR Detective Tactics

EDITORS HERALD: The police depart
ment since the Sunday-closing ordi-
nance passed have been entrusted with
its enforcement.
1t is hard work for the officers, for the
reason that the ordinance prohibiting
the sale Of Intoxicating liquors on that
day does not deny the proprietors or
employees of saloons the right to enter
and keep open their establishments on
that day if they choose. A friend may
come along, and once he is inside, the
door is closed for time. The off Ger
cannot get in to see that violation has
taken place, and hence it is easy to see
that the ordinance is faulty. To remedy
this, it is regrettable to admit it. the po-
lice department demeans itself by be-
coming what the French call
"mouchards' and "agents provoca-
tours"
That police officer should thus de-
mean himself as to play the part of a
provoking agent" one who induces
another to commit crime, for the sake
of securing an arrest, seems incompre-
hensible under our free institutions.
And yet such is the case. No convic-
ton has yet been secured for the viola
ton of the Sunday ordinance, which
was not the result of some petty treach-
cry or unfairness in which the arresting
officer acted despicably.
There is no law in any part of the civ
ilzed world which countenances an
''agent provocateur," one who, having an
official position unknown to the other,
leads that other into crime foi the pur-
pose of depriving him of his liberty and
causing him to be punished.
