San Francisco. Sept. 1O.-A letter
which was Intercepted recently in this
city and forwarded to the authorities
at Washington throws considerable
light upon the Chinese immigration
ring which has been operating for some

ment was $3.50, and he intimates that
Saunders was dunning the ring for the
$4,000 which he claimed for his sery-
ices in connection with the landing of
Chinese.
Since the Tacoma Ledger expose,
special agents have been investigating
the matter, both ct Tacoma and Port
Townsend. and DR.. Gardner of this

MERcuR MERcuRx JorrrNes,
work Progressing Finely With the
Golden Gate Ell.

Rhodes & Thompson, contractors on
the Golden Gate millsite, gave their
employees the regular pay day on the
It'll. About 1855 men have been en-
ployed, but Eince pay day the force has
been somewhat decreased, as some OF
the boys took a lay-off to rest up OF
blow in their wages. The lower
benches of the site are being completed
this week and the work of construction
can be commenced as soon as the ma
terial for the mill begins to arrive A
large number of men are at work
blasting for the dust chambers. The
excavations run under the foundations
and up the hill 100 feet above the mill.
The exit will be crowned by a smoke
stack so feet high. so that it will be
almost an tmpossibility for the arsen-
zeal fumes to reach the people Of the
camp. The incline which Is 70 run
from the working shaft, under the mill
to the top thereof is being driven from
both ends With air GCills. The brick is
arriving daily and the bricklayers viii
probably begin work during the week.
It IS expected that the material for the
structure viii begin to arrive about
the 18th.
The hauling and laying Of the pipe
for the La Cigale mill Is now under
way. The pipe is four-inch and takes
the water out OF Ophir creek just above
the concentration owned by the Ophir
Hill company. The line will carry
enough water not only for the La CT
gale mill and town, but for several
other mills as well.
Horace Z. Brown of Chicago, who
has the contract to put in the Ave fur
naces at the Golden Gate mill, was here
during the week with his foreman, Lee
| De Camp, under whose supervision the
furnaces Will be put in, and it is anticI-
pated that work thereon will be COM
nenced this week.
1t seems that the Sacramento hill is
a succession OF veins from the top TO
the lowest level OF the mine, and per
haps still deeper. A new vein was dis
covered this week above what has
hitherto been called the upper vein, and
it is composed Of excellent milling ore.
When the great Golden Gate mill is
completed 1t will take 30 men TO keep
the output UP TO 500 tons daily. Thirty
Of these VIII be in the mill proper and
the remaining ten In the refining and
metaIurgical departments, ali under
the direction Of superintendent jack
ling.
John Shea is buslly engaged ON the
plans for the Daisy mill, which is TO be
built this fall. The mine itself isy1nak-
ing such an immense showing that the
owners are full of enthusiasm and
dream of the fat dividends they viii
draw as soon as the mill is in opera

Interest In tie Company.
W. a Fortescue, the genial repre-
sentative OF an English syndicate, who
ha been hard at work during the past
year in acquiring interests IN the Gre
ole mine al Park City. contaminated q
deal late on Thursday of this week
whereby he purchased the interests of
DR. G. W Shores in this valuable prop
erty for his people.
Mr.. Fortescue took hold Of the Creole
about Is months aEo, and ever since
q thorough manner in the prospecting
of the mine and with such satisfactory
results that he had no trouble in IN
ducing his clients to take hold Of the
property The elimination of the deal
with DR.. Shores is but the winding uD
OF a transaction that has been on the
tapis for the lsst few months, and the
hurried by the very favorable reports
that have been received from the mine
OF late.
IN speaking Of the tranraction. Dr.
Shores stated that he had the utmost
confidence IN the ultimate outcome Of
the property, but thAt on account OF
other very pressing interests he had to
let go somewhere. and as ne received
a very generous proposition from Mr..
Fortescue he decided 70 sell his Park
city interests, although be cid 50 re-
Iuctantly.
Within the Past two weeks :, very i'm
portant strike has been reported in the
Creole, and Tho Herald is informed
that the discovery consists OF the larg-
est body Of ore every uncovered in the
mine. ard that the fnd was made in
the face OF the Drift being run towards
the Silver King st the point OF contact
between the Hfnc and Quartrttc The
extent or the strike has not 50 get been
determined. but the full face OF the
drift is in solid body Of mineral, and
the indications are that the zone IS a
very large one and that the deposit is
perDGnent and continuous.
Adam Paul, the superintendent of the
mine, informs the company that with
the present limited facilities With which
to hoigt GRE, he can take out 100 tens OF
mineral per month. and at the same
time proceed with the Development OF
the property. anf as a beginning two
carloads of ore from the new strike are
expected on the market today.
The outlook for the Creole is excel

Poison In q Book

New York, Sept. 16.-The Journal
and Advertiser prints the following:
Charles ks missal. the vellun
leaves of which have been dipped in
a, poison as terrible as the one which
the Borgias kept in seal rings, was
sold by a book seller of New York
a week ago. to book lover, who is also
an expert IN pcisons. He has analysed
the vellum pages one by one and says
there is no poison in the leaves Of the
missal. It must have evaporated in
the centuries, for Charles TX was king
Of France from 1850 to 1874. and re-
ceived, according TO the chroniclers, a
missal which was poisoned. a short
time after he had given the signal for
the massacre of the Huguenots; and it
was this missal ne had been reading
at a mass in the chapel Of the Louvre
the day before his death. He died of
remorse, the historians say; but re
morse was often a euphemism for poi
son in those days.

BRAZILIAN "FANATICS."
Using Dynamite and Creating Great

New York, Sept. 1O,-A special to
the Herald from Buenos Ayres says:
Your correspondent in Rio Janeiro an
nounces thai word has reached that
city to the effect that whole companies
OF Brazilian troops were destroyed in
the last engagement with the fanatics
at Canudes. The rebels used dynamite
with great effect when the government
troops approached to attack, and a
great number of soldiers were killed by
the explosions. The fanatics now oc-
cupy impregnable positions at Canudes
and the government troops are help
less.
General Oscar, who is in command
of the troops, will suggest to the min
lister of war of Brazil that Canudes be
besleged and the fanatics be driven
out by hunger. He says it would be
foolish to attack them, as they have
placed scores Of dynamite bombs in
the ground around their positions,
which will be exploded In the event of
an attack, resulting in great logs to
his army
