TO PERFORATE LETTERS.

Mail From Infected Ports Must Be
Thoroughly Punched.
The Postoffice officials are in quandary
regarding the latest instructions received
from DR.. Peckham, who has charge of the
United States quarantine station. Ex-
traordinary precautions have been taken
since the beginning of the cholera scare to
prevent contagion getting in through the
mails, and all letters from infected ports
have been carefully fumigated before being
distributed.
Now DIR. Peckham has decided that
merely subjecting them to the action Of a
combination of black oxide of Manganese g
and sulphuric acid is not sufficient to en-
tirely free them from danger of injecting
this port, and has ordered that all letters
be perforat ted, that the fumes of the disin-
fecting drugs may reach every part of the
contents as we'll as the envelopes.
Just how this is to be accOmplis he'd the
physician did not prescribe, and il is caus-
ing those who are expected to do the work
no end of worry. A hand-punch, such as
harness-makers use, was tried, but it was
altogether too slow, and SOME other means
of reaching the required end are being
looked for.
A machine such as used in punching
holes in iron bands has been suggested,
but thus far nothing that will do the work
rapidly and effectually has been found.

THE GERMAN SHIP ALICE.

that date, when the ship was off the Faral-
lones, the trouble occurred. Captain
Kuhlmann was on the poop deck and Mate
Zimmerman was in command. Carl
Quednan, one of the crew, approached the
captain and said he wanted to speak to
him. He then told long story and men
toned several instances in which the crew
had been i'll used, according to him. This
is no time to make complaints" said Cap
tain Kuhlmann. Lay forward and do
your duty" He moved away, and as he
turned his back Quednan knocked him
down and jumped on him.
81 will have to make the man work for
his living" said Captain Kuhlmann yes
terday. HE is certainly not going to
travel around the world in idleness, but
will have to earn his bread by the sweat of
his brow. When on board the Alice this
morning he broke down and cried bitterly.
He begged to be forgiven, and Captain
Kuhlmann said that as far as he was con-
cerned bygones could be bygones. This
assurance will not do Quednan much good,
as he is now in the hands of the German
Government and will have to answer in
Germany to charge of mutiny. For this
offense four of the crew of the German
bark j. G. Pfueger, who mutinied in Hon.
olulu, got eight and six years and two
three years at hard labor.
Quednan's opinion OF the County Jail Is
not very complimentary to San Francisco.
at is an old vermin-infected barn." said
he, land was treated like a dog. Why,
look at me. l weighed 275 pounds when l
went into the Jail last August and now I
only weigh 223, and am so weak / can
hardly stand"
AT the Jail the guards said that Quednan
wanted to run everything his own way.
and when he found that discipline was to
be enforced he made vigorous protest.
In consequence he was placed on bread
and water diet and his bed was removed.
The Alice was to have sailed for England
to-day, but as proceedings have been be-
gun to secure the release of Quednan the
departure of the ship was postponed.
Quednau says that if he is compelled to
sail on the Alice he will commit suicide
during the voyage.

Dry washers for Gravel.

Dry washers and similar machines for
working auriferous gravel on large scale
are seldom successful. In a small way and
with very rich ground dry washers answer
the purpose fairly well and have to be
used. Just the moment however, water
can be obtained on the ground, they are
given up. Yet these and other pieces of
mechanism for working gravel extensively
are constantly being invented by Eastern
men and constantly being tried. Several
special machines have been brought here
from time to time to work ground usually
handled by the hydraulic process Such
things are bound to be failures
Generally speaking the ground will not
pay unless immense quantities are handled
and few OF these machines have sufficient
capacity. When ground only pays few
cents cubic yard it can be made to pay by
hydraulicking, but by no other known
system. Tie ordinary methods with the
panrocker, tom or sluice would fail to show
design mechanical appliances which
require power to operate them, and
men to care for them. Nothing but the
giant and heavy stream of water under
great pressure can possibly move gravel
enough within a given time to make
1t pay. And when it comes to hand
ling such material dry failure may
always be predicted by those with expert
ence, Most dry washers require the gravel
or sand to be absolutely dry, which it
never is when first mined, and little
dampness, always present, prevents proper
work. The necessity of drying and hand
ling the gravel causes expense and limits
the work of the machine. Many useless
experiments might De saved should those
enthusiastic but inexperienced inventors
m axe careful inquiry as to the conditions
to be met and find out what others have
done-or failed to do-in the same dirsc-
ton.

The Desert oueen Mine.

Mining interest is now cenJered on the
outcome of the suits against McHaney
Brothers by different parties, who kept
comparatively quiet until the big mine
was sold, then claimants sprung up all
over the district What the outcome will
be remains to be seen, as at present it is
all guess work, with the exception of the
claim of George Meyers for one-third in
terest. Mr.. McHaney was seen at his ho-
tel by CALL correspondent, who found
him quite willing to give the history OF his
Desert Queen mine and his views on the
respective claims.

mine and its discovery for THE CALL, do

ARRESTED AGENT HARRIS,
LeughabIe Mistake of Two
Keen Sacramento Police
men.
The Secret Service Man Suspected
OF Aiding and Abettlng Coun-
terfeitor.

Two Sacramento policemen covered
themselves with confusion Tuesday last
by arresting United States Secret Service
Agent Harris for "sbettins the utterance
of spurious note"
Several days ago Mr.. Harris received
word from the Sheriff of San Joaquin
County that note raised to $40 had come
to light in Stockton and requested that he
go to that city and see about it.
Harris learned that the note had
been passed on the man who held it in
Sacramento and went there to investigate.
He found that there was no great chance
of eonvlcting the man who had uttered
the counterfeit, so he advised the person
who held it to go to the place where it had
been received, try to pass it, and if it was
refused, demand the return of the gold
and silver coin which had been exchanged
for it. His object was to watch the trans
action and attempt to determine whether
the storekeeper had passed the note know
ingly and with fraudulent intent. He
stood outside while the holder of the note
made the attempt.
The storekeeper on receiving the raised
paper in payment fogA goods sent for the
originally passed it arrested. The man
was much frightened at his predicament,
and when taken outside where Mr.. Harris
was standing to be put in the patrol wagon
he pointed the latter out and told the
policeman that he had tried to pass the
note on his advice.
Not recognizing Harris, the police told
him to get into the patrol wagon and ac-
company them to the station. Not desir-
ing to make his identity known in the
crowd that had gathered Mr.: Harris said :
Just let me speak to you in private for
moment and / think such a proceeding
will be unnecessary"
mo, you don't" said the man; ''you
may be all right, but you will have to ex-
plain your share of this transaction to the
Chief of Police"
In order to stop further argument be-
fore the fast-gathering throng Mr. Harris
mounted the pstrol wagon with his guilt
less accomplice and was driven toward the
station. Once out of sight of the crowd
men that he had met him several times
previously. When he mentioned the
name Harris the man CALCULATED:
Secret Service Agent Harris2"
"The same" quietly answered that Off
cial, and to use his own expression, "those
men were paralyzed."
That's one on u.s." they remarked, and
released Mr.. Harris and his companion
forthwith
The storekeeper who passed the bill de-
MED all knowledge of it, and Mr.. Harris,
after satisfying himself that the story OF
the victim was true, gave him funds to
carry him along for a few days, and ad-
vised him to begin suit to recover the
money if he could get an attorney to take
the case.

THE FATE OF A MUTINEER,
Carl Quednan Has Been
Transferred to the German
Ship Alice.
IS ON HIS WAY TO GERMANY.
After His Trial He May Be Imprls-
oned Eight Years at Hard
Labor.

Captain Kuhlmann of the German ship
Alice is in quandary. One of his crew,
who was charged with mutiny when the
vessel arrived here, has again been placed
on board, and the skipper does not know
exactly what to do with him. If he takes
him to Liverpool the sailor will have to be
treated as prisoner, and on the arrival
of the ship there the German Consul may
rule that the man be kept aboard until the
Alice reaches German port. If the ship
be sent from Liverpool to Australia, and
then back to San Francisco, it may be two
years before the mutineer Is brought to trial.
The Alice arrived here on Augustus. On

Annual Assessment Work.

A good many camps are now finding out
that the suspension for two years OF the
provision in the mining laws requiring
annual assessment work has not done the
districts any good. In many cases had
the work been done the camps would have
been much further ahead to-day. Suspen-
sion of the law was all very we'll for the
silver districts but was of no use whatever
where gold was mined. Of course those
miners who owned dozen or so claims
hailed the suspension with delight, and
would have liked to see 1t continued.
Congress, however, failed to pass any
act suspending it for this year. So the
work must be done on all unpatented
claims everywhere. 1t is really no hard
ship upon any miner who wants to see the
mining region where he is interested de-
veloped. Those who put it off until the
depth of winter, as many do, have only
themselves to blame, for it can be done at
any time during the year. There are
three months still left. It behooves
those who have thus far neglected this
compliance with the law to go to work at
once, before the snow flies. Assessment
work is good provision of the law, as it
makes men do at least some work on their
prospects or else they have to give them
up to those who will work them. And it
prevents a few men. too, from taking up
and holding half of a mineral region or
keeping out others who might afterward
develop it. CHARLES G, YALE.

Mr.. McHaney, what do you consider the

along that canyon there are big powders,

RAISIN-PACKBRs FOR FRESNO.
Over Fifty Young Women Will Start
South This Morning.

The States Free Labor Bureau will this
morning send fifty-five young women to
Fresno to fill an order for raisin packers.
The order was sent by Charles G. Bonner
& Co.. who will want 100 women for this
work before the season is over. The COM
pany advanced the railroad fares. The
season will last over two months, and
from 81 to 81 so day can be made by the
women, and good food and accommoda-
tions will be furnished.
Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald states
that this lot of women is the finest that
has ever left the City in body to obtain
employment. The majority are school
teachers, stenographers and clerks, who
have not been able to secure employment
in their own lines.
