Mining at Isandsburx.

An exchange has the following to
say of the way mining is carried on
at Randsburg, California.
They have a queer way Of min
ing down there. None of the mines
are very deep and the way they are
working is something new to the
science of mining. A very large
number of the mines are owned by
farmers who have no experience in
mining whatever. They work a
little while and take out ore which
they sell for 81 per pound. When
they have obtained enough to last
for while they quit work and re-
main idle until they are broke and
then they go to work and dig up
another stake. There are about
$500 people in the place and the
main street is about a mile in
length. Saloons, gamblers, fast
women and typhoid fever abound
and flourish down there and water
costs more than beer. Without
doubt it would be a fine place for
some of our practical miners to
take lease on some of the mines
down there and work them in
systematic way. 1t is almost i'm
possible to buy mine in Rands-
burg as the prices are up into the
hundreds of thousands.

wolcott's Mission is a Rank Failure


A dispatch to the World from
London says: The inside story of
Senator Wolcott's bimetallic COM
mission is one of absolute failure.
The general impression among
those in position to know is that
the reports of success in France
have been circulated in order to
reconcile the American public TO
the expenditure of large sums of
money without result.
The principal Paris newspapers
have referred to the commission in
terms in which, while conforming
to the rules of artificial Gallo cour-
tesy, haves not been far from rid
icule. lie Temps calls attention to
the fact that while France objects
to spending the money necessary to
improve her navy, the United
States has money enough to spend
uselessly on a commission intrusted
with an impossible mission and
costing the taxpayers half mill
ion.
M. Hanotaux himself is author
ity for the statement that the VOL
colt mission absolutely failed and
could not be accomplished by any
one. He speaks highly of the
members of the commission person
ally, but refuses to take the BIZ
metallic scheme seriously He
smiles at Wolcott's statement that
France should stand shoulder to
shoulder with the United States in
efforts to bring about international
bimetallism.

SLAVE-DEALER RINJIRO.
Pleaded Guilty of Having Imported
Two Women, One Of Whom
He Married,

Ohata Rinjiro, Japanese porter of
slave women, was placed on trial in U nited
States District Judge De Ravens court
yesterday, ana after the witnesses for the
prosecution had testified he saw that there
was no hope Of an acquittal, and by the
advice OF his attorney, NJ NJ. Foote, he
pleaded guilty and was ordered to appear
for sentence next Saturday morning.
Riniiro married Japanese woman in
Japan and took her to Victoria, B. c., al
ter having assured her before leaving her
native country that she could earn large
sum of money as a seams lress for white
women. He instead placed her in dis
reputable house IN Sacramento and de-
manded that his wife should give MIN the
quarrel with him because OF her refusal,
and she fed to Fresno.
Rinjiro then went to Japan and brought
another woman to California. DUR, u is
absence his wife had returned 10 he Sac
ramento house, and when Riniiro and his
new chattel arrived he took her to Sacra-
mento and demanded that his wife should
allow her 10 become an inmate of her
house. The wife refused to take the
woman, and Rinjiro installed her in a
Jananese dwelling next door.
Then the wife, inspired by rage, ieal-
ousy and fear. turned informer and pro-
cured the arrest of the willy Rinjiro
The Federal authorities have prepared
papers of deportation in the case of Waka-
miya Tsuta, the second woman brought
over by the slave-dealer, and she will be
sent home.

Steamer Oregon Brought
Over From Sau-
salito.
After Being Overhauled She
viii Be Put on the Port
land Route.
Mrs, Mary Uber Went Insane and
Attempted to Jump From the
Steamer Piedmont.

1t was no easy job to get the steamer
Oregon away from her anchorage off Sau-
salito yesterday. After tae anchors had
been down two years ii was necessarily
slow work in getting them up again. The
vessel changed her position with every
turn Of the tide and the chains got badly
tangled. With the assistance of two tugs
the big steamer was finally cleared from
her moorings ana taken TO the Union
Iron Works drydock. There she will be
thoroughly overhauled and put on the
route between here and Astoria. There is
now more freight awaiting her on the
Spear-street wharf than she can carry and
the rush from Oregon ports still continues.
The Columbia, which arrived from AS
toria yesterday, had to peddle her. cargo
to four different points on the front in
order to secure room on which to dis
charge II.
The rush to Puget Sound ports IS almost
a. great as that from Portland. When
the Umatilla sailed yesterday she left full
cargo on the wharf, for which there was
no space in her hold. The Progreso has
been secured and is now on the berth, and
all the surplus cargo left by the Umatilla
will go out on her.
The boatmen around the foot of Clay
street had a great time diving and dredg
ing for $50 gold pieces yesterday al low
water. When the river steamer J. D. Pc
tiers arrived from Stockton well-dresSed
woman was awaiting her. AS soon as she
locked and the Gangway was put out the
woman started to board the vessel. She
had purse in her hand and when she
struck the latter against one OF the stanch-
ions the purse flew open and $142 90 was
scattered. A $40 and a 50cent piece fell
on the gaugway, but the rest of the money
dropped into the bay. The woman took
her loss philosophically and after recover
ing the $40 so she boarded the steamer in
search of her friend. If the boatmen re-
covered any of the money they did not
say anything about it, and the chances
are the loser will never hear of that $132
again.
The tug Fearless, Captain Glenn Randall,
started for Puget Sound yesterday. She
will go first of all to Nanaimo, B. c.,
where she will fill her bunkers with coal
and will then take the San Francisco
Bridge Company big dredger II tow and
bring it to San Francisco. There is con-
sidera bic work to be done on the entrance
to the Mare Island drydock and the
dredger will be taken there.

DAVIS IS AN
EXPERT F0RGER
Record of the Man Who
Was Recently Escorted
Out Of Germany.
He Was Arrested Here for Pass
ing a Number of Fictitious
Drafts.
While Awaiting His Trial He Was
Released on " Straw" Bonds
and Absconded.

J. C. Davis, alias Harry Silverberg, alias
John w. Drayton, who, according TO re-
cent dispatches from Washington, was
thrown into a prison in Germany for
crooked work, was released through the
efforts of the American Consul at Freiberg
and was escorted out of the country, is
we'll known to the police here.
He married Miss Maude Craig, the
daughter of wealthy hotel man in Roch-
eater, N. Y, and while en- their wedding
trip at St. Paul, Mimi, Davis lost nearly
all his own and his wifes money at faro.
To provide funds for continuing the
wedding trip Davis pawned his wife s
diamonds, and when they reached this
City in June. 1895, they were stranded.
Davis forged number OF drafts on New
York banks and started out 10 pass them.
lie visited different jewelry and furniture
stores purchased a small article, giving
one of the forced drafts in payment and
receiving the balance between the cost of
the article and the amount OF the draft.
The police were notified of the forged
drafts, and Davis was arrested on June 20
by Captain Lees and Detectives Coffey
and Whitaker. Several charges were
booked against him, but only one was
heard, 1t was for passing fictitious
draft OF the United States National Bank
of Portland, drawn on the American Ex-

His young wife, for whom much SYM
patty was felt. visited him daily in the
City Prison and later in the County Jail,
and finally she succeeded in getting him
released on bonds which proved worthless.
Davis naturally jumped his bonds, and
his wife returned TO her father in Roches-
ter.
Previous to that Davis, under the name
of Harry Silverberg, had been i'm plcated
in forgeries to the extent of $28, 900 in
Mexico, but managed to escape from the
country,

had become OF them, as the pistol is now
free from stains. The witness testified
that when lie gave it TO Detective Crockett

BRIDAL TOUR IN PERU.
Jennie Thomas and Dr.. Sherrod
VIII Marry and Hunt
for Gold.
If Their Present Plans Fail They Will
Go to the Cold Klondike
Instead.

One of the pres! ective seekers for gold
in the newly discovered fields OF Peru is
Jennie K. Thomas, but when she is booked
for passage it will not be as Miss" as
the young lady will be married before her
departure, and will be accom- panied by
her husband into the land where they
hope to gain l. fortune.
Miss Thomas is a teacher and prac-
titioner OF psychology. living at 2909 Mis-
sion street, and DR.. L. L. Sherrod is the
gentleman whom she is to marry. They
expect to take passage on the boat Zealan-
dia, which will leave some time the latter
part OF the month. When seen by CALL
reporter last evening Miss Thomas was
very enthusiastic over her proposed trip.
She said:
Il have had number of talks with
gentlemen interested in the venture, and
our plans are made to go on the Zealan-
dia if she will make the trip. DR.. Sher-
rod is in communication with some
capitalists, and will pro bly, arrive at an
agreement whereby we will go as their
agent; but whether this plan works out
or not we will go to Peru. know moth
ing of mining myself, of course, but the
doctor is mining expert, and has at
present some valuable interests in Colo
RADIO, but lack OF capital and proper rail-
road facilities prevent him realizing on
them.
''For the past twelve years 1 have made
study of mental science at various insti-
tutions and am graduate of the Chicago
School OF Psy chology. The study of the
native Indians of Peru, their habits and
characteristics and the research into the
hidden history Of the myster GUS country
will be very interesting to me, and / an
ticipate much pleasure and profit from
my sojourn there. 1 will PROBABLY write
stories of some of my experiences in the
country and of the people and their habits.
1.-The passenger agent Of the Zealandia
told me that the ship would surely make
the trip if party OF 500 people takes
passage. There have been number OF
applications for passage and twenty-five
were booked yesterday, so the chances are
that the required UNI Der will be secured.
In case this BOAT does not make the trip
DR.. Sherrod and I will try to find some
other means of getting US there. II we
fail entirely to make arrangements to get
to Peru we will make the journey to,
Alaska and join the gold hunters on the
Klondike. Personally. I prefer to go to
Peru, and consider the chances there
much better than in Alaska. However, if
we are una ole to carry OUT our plan of CO.
ing to Peru, the Kiondike is open to US,
and we will try our fortunes up there"
