RESERVOIR SITES.
Bill Introduced Into Congress by Rep
resentative Caminetti.

Bill Introduced Into Congress by Rep
resentative Caminetti.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. 12.-Caminetti has
introduced bill making a conditional
grant to the State of all tracts of land suit
able for reservoir sites and all lakes
whose waters can be increased by artifi-
cial means. These sites can be Withdrawn
from entry only on application of the
Governor, accompanied by maps and
notes of the Surveyor and will
remain so withdrawn for five years. At
the expiration of that time the tracts will
revert to the public domain unless the
Legislature has in the meantime pro-
vided for the building of dams and reser-
voirS, and the sites are being put to actual
use; or, If the Legislature fails to act, one
or more counties or one or more irriga-
ton districts as now organized in Calitor-
mia. can petition the Governor to request
the withdrawal OF the site for their use
they furnishing the necessary assurance
that their petition is earnest and bona
fide. All works OF construction will be
under the care of the Engineering De-
partment of the State. If the Legislature
acts, the State viii build reservoirs and
keep them in repair, but if the counties
and districts are forced TO act for them
selves, the counties and districts ben
cited viii be responsible for the work.
If the reservoirs or raised lakes should
fall into diSuSe for period of two wears.
the United States will be entitled to their
possession. The bill calls for no appro-
priation, and none is needed to put the
bill in operation if it should pass

How Agates gre Treated.

'Agates are a kind of quartz" said a
mineralOgist. Most of them come from
South America and especially from Bra
I'll, where they are found in great GUAM
titles. Thence they are shipped as bal
last IN vessels bound for Hamburg, Ger
many, and from that port they are for
warded to Oberstein. The latter town rs
the great agate market of the world.
AT Oberstein the agates are sorted into
lots, according to quality, and sold at
auction. After this they are sent to the
mills to be cut and polished. Along the
ldar RlYer, between the towns of Ober-
stein and ldar, there are more than $50
mills Tor working agates. Each mill has
several big grindstoneS, on which the
valuable bits of quartz are ground, being
usually attached to small sticks for that
purpose. Choice specimens are prelim-
lnarlly cut into rough shapes with steel
wheel ana diamond powder. Common
ones, however. are merely broken into
the forms desired with hammer and
chisel. By long experience the work
men acquire great deXterity in applying
| their blows so as to obtain the requisite
fractures.
AT each revolving grindstone two
men work. They do not sit or stand, but
lie outstretched upon wooden stools
made to fit their bodies. While they
hold the agate to the grindstone they get a
purchase with their feet against blocks of
wood fastened TO the floor. After being
ground the agates are polished on cylin-
| ders of hard wood, which are fed as they
| revolve with a mixture of tripoli and
water.
tAgates are often colored artificially.
For this purpose they are first placed in
olive oil and heated. Then they are put
into sulphuric acid and heated again.
Owing to the fact that some layers OF
agate are quite porous, while others are
dense, the oil enters the porous layers,
| where 1t is blackened by the acid, thus
making the contrast between the coiors OF
the layers more striking and enhancing
the beauty of the stones. Other colors are
given to agates by soaking in different
solutions and otherwise, but these meth
DDS are trade secrets" = Washington

SAN DIEGO, Jan. u. = The schooner
Jessie D., Captain Holbrooll, reported as
lost, arrived in port here last night. after
beating about the coast for thirty DAYS.
The schooner started from Cedros Island
for San Diego. After leaving Cedros Is
land, December 18th, the Jessie D. en-
countered terrible sea and heavy wind
ana attempted to make the harbor of San
Quentin, but failed, and was blown out of
her course and finally reached Guada-
loupe Islands. Being out of water, holes
were dug along the beach and a little
brackish stuff was obtained, which thirst
compelled the crew to drink. They filled
their casks, and after killing a goat for
fresh meat sailed for home. They were
obliged to harbor the rations, the last of
which were finished when off the Coro-
nado Islands. For days and nights the
crew had no opportunity to sleep, it talk

part to keep the schooner from swamp

A POLITICAL VISIT.
Iowans and Hill Men Ratify
BOieS' Democracy

CHICAGO, June 17.-There was no
little significance in a call made today
by number of Iowa delegates upon
Croker. Sheehan, Murphy and others
of the Tammany brigade. The visitors
said that they gave the New York
ers to understand that inasmueh as
several Republican newspapers had
questioned the Democracy of BoieS.
and others inSinuateG or charged that
he Openly,yOted for Blaine, in. the minds
of the Iowa people there was nO queS-
ton as to his true-blue Democracy and
his faithfulneSs TO the party under any
and all circumstances.
The HaWkeye contingent is inclined
to repudiate with some heat that there
is anything behind this visit, but at the
same time it was evident they were very,
friendly toward an alliance with Hill
men in case they could not carry their
own candidate through. The Iowans
were reinforced tonight by the arrival
of Hon. John (. DuncCmbe, delegate at
large, who will place Boies in noInina-
ton. A dispatch tonight from the state
league says that 900 members of that
organization will leave for Chicago TO-
morrow and Sunday morning.
The New Workers responded that they
had no doubt as to the Democracy OF
Gov. Boies; that they were familiar
with his career, and that they had
studied his speeches and we're satisfied
that his Democracy is sound i'm every
particular. An hour or two after this
some of the New Workers paid ii
fraternal visit to the Iowa headquarters.

CROSS CURRENTS.
German, Brice and Campbell
Watching Them.

CHICAGO. June 17.-In most of the
Southern states Cleveland has ma
jority as against Hill. but when German
is counted in tile ex-president turns
up with a minority. German will
be governed entirely by circumstances
nceS. If there are any cross currents
his name may be presented to the con-
ventlOn. German and Brice are work.
ing in harmony, and if Brlce concludes
to withdraw from the Cleveland force
by putting Jimmy" Campbell forward
as the Ohio candidate German will PROT
ably have his own state name him. In
this way enough votes might be kept from
Cleveland 10 show that instead of hav-
ing within 75 or 4 100 of two-thirdS
majority he has not more than half the
delegates GorIEan and Brice will work
with-llill as against Cleveland, but be-
yOnd that they have no common in
tereSt.
Il have no hesitation III saying. that
the nomination of Senator Hill IS alto
gether out of the question:" Senator
Brice was quoted today as saying. ut
is not TO be considered under any cir
cumStances. A prejudice against SEN
ator Hill exists among our people west
of the Allegheny mountains which, |
fear, would render his election impoS-
sibe"
"'rhen the field will he open TO tile
favorlte sOn candidates?'
'lf the delegates 10 the convention
shall decide that MIR. Cleveland cannot
be elected if nominated, the question
will come up-'Wfictl one among the
many strong candidates who have been
mentioned will be the strongest, and,
therefore, the proper candidate for this
convention to select?' But it will not
be necessary for us to cross this bridge
until we come TO 1t. The question of
Cleveland's candidacy must first be
definitely settled"
IF Mr.. Cleveland is dropped, which
of the other candidates do you favor?"
''It is yet too early to say. Ex-Gov
Campbell, of my own state, has many
friends, not only within. bnt outside of
Ohio. The candidacy of Gov. Boies, of
Iowa. is also very strong one. But
Mr.. Cleveland must be definitely laid
aside before we pass to the considera-
ton of Others"
St. Paul daily globe., 1892-06-18

and the character of the instructions
given by our state convention was such
that each delegate can interpret them
to suit himself. The result of this will
be that every delegate will vote as
seems best to him. | reckon on twelve
votes for Mr.. Cleveland and eighteen
for Mr.. Gray OH the first ballot, although
nobody can say definitely just what will
be done until after the meeting tomOr-
row evening""
"What do you consider the probable
outcome of the convention, Mr.. En-
glish ?i'
II should say Cleveland. Still
would not risk prediction at this stage
of the game. If it should happen that
both Cleveland and Gray were found
unavailable, | think the Indiana dele
cation would go to Palmer, of Illinois,
although that is question that has not
arisen and is not likely to arise"
'Do you think Gray has serious
cnance for the first place %
Mr.. English replied that he had not
gone into the question far enough TO
Justify an analysis of Gov. Gray's
strength. ''He has some very good
men with him. he said, "and he is
himself very shrewd politician, but,
until Mr.. Cleveland is disposed of. it is
idle to talk about any other mans
chances for the first place on the ticket" ="
"Would Gov. Gray accept the second
place if it were offered him?"
well, he might"
