A LETTER FROM AFRICA.

The Season Getting Too Warm for Ameri-
can DriIIers-John r. Watson Speaks
of the Habits of the Natives and How
They Live.
John r. Watson, who is drilling wells for
the Italian Government at Massana, in the
north of Africa, writes very interesting
letter to James Parker, of the st. James
Hotel. Mr.. Watson has been in Africa for
nearly six months and he is very tired of the
country and people. He has drilled wells
on most of the continents, and he usually
goes on these missions to see what the land
is like. In his letter he says the heat and
dust are so great that he thinks he will have
to give up. He works about one-fourth of
the time, and then he accomplishes very
little. He roasts the italian Government for
bringing men to the country so late in the
season. They commenced drilling for water
in March when they should have been at it
in November.
The well Mr.. Watson is working on is To-
Gated six miles from Massana, and it is down
600 feet. There is plenty of salt water and
he has come to the conclusion they will get
nothing else unless they go clean through
the globe.
The party complains about the tardiness
of the Government in paying wages. By
hard drumming they managed to get two
months salary, and two more remain un-
paid. He says unless the Italians whack up
not for the love of Italy or Africa that they
toll, but for the money that is in the job, and
when that fails to come the grist won't be
ground.
In the letter he says further: "Massana
is located on an island. but the Gov
ernnent has built q mole to the
mainland, connecting it with Abyssinia.
The country is total failure. 1t is
nothing but sunburnt desert, and as non
productive as hole in the ground. / am
speaking now of the coast range, which ex-
tends 500 miles along the ocean and so miles
in the interior. Then come other mountain
ranges that contain some fertile valleys
where corn is raised. This is the principal
food of the natives. They grind it in the old
style stone mortars, with hammers, as 1t
was done in the time of Moses. The natives
consist of Abyssinians, Arabs, Nubians, and
here and there you will find few Greek
and Roman families. They are very filthy,
and their dress is not very extensive.
As rule suit of clothes is not
larger than the amount of cotton used for
wadding in double-barreled shotgun.
This makes a suit for a man, and the chill
dren don't wear anything. The women are
the beasts of burden. They carry all the
heavy loads and do all the hard work. There
are 5000 people in Massana. mostly Italian
soldiers. About all they are good for is to
blow the bugle and to do the grand march
We have some Italians helping US, and they
are worse than wooden men,"

IN CALLING PUBLIC ATTENTION

To our stock of whiskies, brandies and
wines from time to time, we much
prefer that they would sell on their
own merits rather than from any un-
seemly, unreasonable or doubtful

for sale but the very best and purest
money will buy. All of our whiskies
and wines are sufficiently and per-
fectly matured before we offer them
for sale.
Our Old Export Whisky is recog-
nized as very superior family whisky;
quarts 81, or 6 for S..
Our California Wines have been
found pure in every particular, and
are becoming very essential and pop
ular. They are up to the standard.
