GOVERNMENT AID ASKED,
Masons Wish to Communicate
With Their Imprisoned
Brethren.
Impression That Some Reports of the
TranSvaal Affair May Have
Been Exaggerated.

Much concern continues to be mani
tested in the City and State regarding the
condition of the Americans imprisoned in
the Boer capital. Yesterdays dispatches
would lead one to imagine that Hammond,
Cecil Rhodes principal agent, had been
specially singled out for q species of
scapegoat.
An influential Mason of the City, speak
ing on the subject, stated that he had been
credibly informed that the Masonic
fraternity in California intended doing
something in order to relieve their breth-
rem among the prisoners, four of whom are
said to be Callfornians. He added:
1.-THE preliminary steps will be taken to-
night. State Grand Master Preston, head
of the Masonic order in California, will
telegraph President Cleveland, petitioning
him to use his influence to the end that a
dispatch from the Masons here may reach
their incarcerated comrades in the Trans
yaal and receive an immediate reply.

fish is eaten sailed and dried. Some of the
medical authorities believe that leprosy is
the result OF the unusually large consump-
ton of fish.
1.-THE country is rich in furs as we'll as
fish. For instance there are about 1000
sable taken every year, 1000 bearskins, and
thousands on thousands OF skins of red
foxes, squirrels, deer anc elk, besides many
big-horn sheep.
These, with the skins of other animals,
are all taken by aboriginal hunters and
are turned over to us. My own hunting

esting, though at times it was very cold.
went clad in heavy furs and slept out on
the snow.
"Kamschatka's climate is not warm
one and earthquakes are not scarce. The
average number of earthquakes in year
in Petropavlofsk, the capital. which has
$50 people, is about 4.6. The maximum of
the thermometer is about 80 degrees above
zero and the minimum about 30 degrees
below. The barometer maximum is SO. $50,
the minimum $3.50.
1T is wonderful to see how quickly the
grass and other wild products grow in this
part of the world. In two weeks after the
last day when it was showing everything

the inner harbors are covered with ice.
AT this time in Pc tropavlofsk the per-
manent winter road is established Tor

sielghs called marta, to which eleven,
thirteen and sometimes fifteen dogs are

Mining Exchange, who is the committees
president, when asked the reason for the
postponement replied:
ut looks as though the case of the i'm
prisoned Americans had been somewhat
exaggerated. The latest dispatches fail
altogether to confirm the narrowing de-
tails with which the earlier messages
teemed. Until we are positive that there
is some reason for believing our fellow
citizens uniustly and tyrannically de-
prived of their liberty, the committee sees
no reason for calling a mass meeting and
getting people worked up over something
which may not be worth the trouble"

The southern part ofSaghalien Is suited
to agricultural purposes that had no sue
cess IN kamschatka. Both of these coun-
tries would make a greater success in
collaborating than in anything else.
1.-THE Saghalien sables amount to about
5000 year; they range lower in quality
and in price than those of Kamschatka,
because they are killed too early in the
season. Efforts are being made to stop
this disastrous kind of hunting.
Fish manure, seaweed and the cele-
brated Saghalien grasses are other articles
of export. Since lastyear the lumber bust
ness has increased very much.

schatka is delightful for a man who would

ting Ceremonies.

There will be two big celebrations by
citizens of Irish birth and tradition in
March. One will be on March 4, Emmet's
birthday, and the other on March II, St.
Patricks day.
The Emmett affair will be under the
auspices of the Knights of the Red Branch
and the Irish National Alliance. Metro
politan Hall will be the scene of the cere-
monies, and Colonel John Finerty of Chi
cago, journalist, orator and soldier, will be
the star attraction. The colonel is now
on his way to California. delivering lee
lures on the old but ever new subject of
Irish independence, in the larger towns
and cities.
The tour is made under the auspices of
the Irish National Alliance of America.
The K. R. B. mem bers in this City are
very active just now in making arrange
ments for the reception of Colonel Fin
erty and the celebration of the anniversary
OF Emmets birthday.
The celebration of st. Patrick's day will
be conducted on an elaborate scale by
the Irish-born citizens of San Francisco.
Already committees are at work making
the necessary arrangements. There was
no public observance of the day last year.
Therefore an extra effort will be made to
have celebration that will eclipse all pre-
vIous affairs of the kind this year.
The general committee has called a
meeting for Sunday afternoon next. at
K. II. b. Hall, corner of O'Farrell and Ma
son streets. REPRESENTATIVES from all the
Irish societies in the City, both National
and religious, have been invited to attend

Linforth has been in the habit of secur-
ing insurance policies, and instead of pay
ing the premiums collected to the com.
panies which he represented he has been
appropriatlng the money to his own uses
and purposes. He signed the receipts in
his own name as representing the COM
panies.
AS the insurance companies have never
received the premiums all the policies have
been Cancelled, and the people who paid
the premiums to Linforth are the sufferers.

MINING IN MONTANA.
Amount OF the Metals Taken Out I'm

Montana produced in metals about s47,-

the silver at the coinage rate and esti-
mating the last two months Of the year on
a pro rata basis. The official report of the
assaycr for this Office will not be ready
until some time in March. but it is believ-
ed that the figures given will not vary
more than few thousand from the real
amount -,n
The production of gold will be $1O0. 900,
of silver 4,5OO, 900 ounces, Of copper 212,OOO
pounds and of lead 24.5OOOO pounds. The
output of copper is estimated as being 6j
Fer cent Of the production of the United
States. The receipts Of bullion at the
Helena assay office during 1895 were 10 Der
cent greater than last year and 47h Der
cent greater than during 1893.
