The eighth wonder, "Chcmical Dia-
monds." Who has them?
Los Angeles herald., 1891-09-07

Luis Feliz and brother, former owners
OF the Las Cruces gold mine, returned
few days ago from prospecting trip on
the San Felipe desert, on the gulf coast,
and tell OF the death by thirst of Benito
Cesena, Mexican boy who was one of
the party. They had been gone about
two months and were 100 miles south of
San Felipe when Cesena and a China
man, with mule and burro, became
separated from the rest of the party and
wandered off. The mule and the burro
soon died from thirst, and this left the
bov and his companionssin sad plight.
They had to carry some of the utensils
which had been packed on the ami
mails, and being unacquainted with the
country, unable to find water and
travelling over the desert under hot
sun, they suffered intensely. Succor
seemed to be near at hand, however,
when they came to the gull shore
and saw a schooner at anchor about
ten miles out. 1t was useless to
attempt to attract the attention OF the
men on the vessel at that distance, and
the Cllnaman constructed rdlI lIOu
the driftwood along the shore, tying the
pieces together with a RATA, and struck
out for the schooner, leaving the boy on
the shore. Darkness overlook the raft
when five miles out, and the Chinaman,
being exhausted and unable to proceed,
fell asleep and when morning came he
found he had drifted on an island. His
raft had been seen the evening before by
the sailors and they rescued him from
the island in the morning and took him
ashore. The boy, Benito Cessna, was
found dead near where the Chinaman
had left him, and his distorted features
and cracked and swollen lips told of the
terrible suferings that had racked his
poor body before death came to his re-
lief. The Feliz brothers came up to the
spot soon after, and when the boy had
been buried on the bleak desert beside
the blue waters of the gulf and in sight
of the pine-clad shores of San Pedro,
where cool springs abound, the party
turned their faces toward Alamo, where
they arrived after several days.

POTATO STARCH.
No Reason Why it Should Not Be Man
ufactured Here.

ufactured Here.
The present glut in the potato markets
has caused inquiries to be made in re-
gard to the best methods of using up the
overplus, says the Citrograph. One o.
the best ways is that of converting the
potatoes into starch. The process is
simple and the machinery inexpensive,
comparatively. In this climate, where
frost has not to be combated, the build
ings may be of slight character and can
be cheaply constructed. The fact that
potatoes may be had fresh from the
ground and of the right stage of ripe
ness to yield the largest proportion OF
fecula is another item in favor of the
establishment of starch factories here in
South California. One of the prerequi-
sites is an abundant supply of water.
This cost can be reduced in two ways
First, by using the water from the fac
tory's own wells, either artesian or by
pumping, and second, by the fact that
the waste water is not injured, but the
rather benefited, for irrigation, by pass
ing through the works.
AS to the profits to be derived, we
have not the information at hand to
determine, with any degree of accuracy,
what they could or should be.
Potatoes yield from 16 to 81 per cent.
of starch. The residue of skins and
fbrous matter is good food for stock.
The factories can utilize the small pota-
toes just as well as the large, and we
believe the small potatoes yield the
heavier percentage of fecula. The price
of starch in bulk, in San Francisco, is
now 81 to cents pound. The yield
per acre is from three to four tons of
starch. What the expense of manufac-
tnre is we know not. 1t would seem,
however, that starch could be profta-
bly, manufactured with potatoes at 35
to 40 cents per sack.
The process of manufacture is, briefly,
as follows:
The potatoes are run into large vat
filled with water, to soak loose any dirt
that may adhere to them. When soaked
enough the water is drawn off and gate
raised which allows the tubers to run
down into a washing machine which
thoroughly scours them. This scourer
is simply large barrel with slaves a
little ways apart, placed in horizontal
position and caused to revolve with hall
its diameter in a trough of running
water. From here the potatoes are run
through sort of revolving rasp, where
they are reduced to the finest pulp, but
not crushed orIground. This pulp is then
run over wire sieves and washed by a
constant stream of water. The starch
runs through into watts below and is al
lowed to stand until the starch is all
precipitated to the bottom. The super
natant, clear water is then drawn off,
the moist starch shoveled out and dried,
when It is ready for the market. These
processes are all simple, and very few
men can handle large quantity of po-
tatoes every day.
