Miners Use the Expansive Power OF
Frost I'm Work.
In mining for gold in Siberia the
ground is kept clear of snow, so as to
permit the cold to penetrate as deeply
as possible, after which the surface is
thawed by fires until a shallow layer
of earth can be removed. The freezing
is then allowed to proceed, and the
thawing operations repeated, and this
is continued as long as the cold weather
lasts. In this way through the long
Siberian winter open excavations are
made to the gold-bearing rocks, the
depths obtained being from 25 to IS
feet. according to the duration of the
cold season.
Artificial cold for purposes of exca-
vatioa was first used by Poetsch in
1883; by his well-known process of cold
brine through series of buried pipes
the most difficult quicksand may be
made hard enough to be eNcavated like
rock. Among the important applica-
tions of the freezing process are noted
the sinking of the shafts for the cyl
inders of the hydraulic elevator for the
canal lift at Les Fontinettes. and the
construction of a tunnel at Stockholm.
The latter work was executed entirely
by the introduction Of cold air into the
working chamber at the head Of the
tunnel, the cold preventing infiltration
Of water until the beton lining was
built, and the work of excnvating and
mining being carried on at tempera-
lures ranging between zero and 25 de-
grees Fahrenheit.-Engineering Maga'

JUSTICE TO BE INDICATED.


w. II. T. Durrant, the brutal slayer OF
Miss Blanche Lamont. in San Fran
cisco, in April, 1895. is at last to meet
the fate which he so richly merits His
lawyers have made all possible use Of
the delays afforded by the courts, but
the end Of the young man is rapidly
coming. The United States Supreme
Court has affirmed the decision OF the
Circuit Court OF California refusing a
writ of habeas corpus, and an or
der to proceed with the execution
tomorrow has been given. 1t is stated
in the San Francisco dispatches that
this decision Of the Supreme Court will
pave the way for the execution of five
other California murderers who have
been sentenced to death, but whose exc
cutions have been deferred pending a
decision in the Durrant case.
The murderer of Miss Lamont has
had much longer lease of life than he
deserved, and the processes OF the court
have been strained to their utmost limit
to save him from the gallows. For
many months the people OF that COM
monwealth have been waiting for JUS
tice to be vindlcated, but just when they
had the best OF reasons to expect that
their desires would be gratifled his willy
lawyers would find some new twist of
the law to shield him from the hang
man-for a time, at least, if not for
ever. But 1t seems that they have about
reached the end OF their resources, and
the civilized world will be glad that So
ciety is now to be rid Of such de-
praved character as Durrant.
Cases OF this kind are what incite
Judge Lynch to hold his court at fire.
quent intervals In all parts OF the
country. The people lose faith in the
laws OF the land and take the matter in
their own hands. 1t is seldom that
they do this unless they are practically
sure that the accused are guilty of the
crimes with which they are charged
But when they feel that they have th'
right men they are averse to affordinl
them the chance to escape by means o.
a technicality, loophole in the indiot
ment or the law, or because Of powerful
influence brought TO bear upon thu
grand jury or tine petit jury panel.
If the people could have assurance
that the guilty would receive just an'
speedy punishment for their crimes
there would be few lynchings. Unfor. u
nately they can have no such assurance
hence the taking of the law into thei
own hands.
The long delay in the Durrant caseha
in all probability given many lyncher
excuse for their action, but his ulti
mate execution will serve to dete
lynchings in future, as the people vii
have greater confidence in the courts

sHERlfAN'S PATRIOTIC COURSE.


In the correspondence between this
government and that of Great Britain
over the seal regulations in Behring
sea, the attitude of the United States is
fully and clearly disclosed. IL is fair,
reasonable and consistent, and obvious
~ animated by a sincere desire to pre-
serve a valuable interest which is
doomed to extinction if the depreda-
tions Of lawless fishermen are permitted
to continue.
The correspondence shows that this
government has earnestly striven TO
execute in good faith the regulations
prescribed by the Paris conference,
while Great Britain has tried to evade
them. The English press, almost with
out exception, savagely attack Secre-
tary sherman for the vigorous manner
in which he is caring for the interests
of the United States. Some of them so

tempted to escape, only to be dragged
back and beaten. I motioned to a po-
ltceman, but he did not heed. At last
my captor became alarmed. I re-
toiced one day when 1 heard him tell
somebody that he was going to return
me to my friends. I became quiet, for
1 believed his word. Next week I was
taken on board large steamer. After
two days at sea I wondered that it
should take so long to get to the mouth
of the river. A woman whispered to
me that 1 was being taken to America.
/ realized that I had been deceived
and lay for three days moaning and
sobbing in my berth. tried to jump
overheard, but was dragged back.
'He heap clazy; mo- better shut 'em
up" said my captor, and I was shut
up the rest of the voyage.
"In San Francisco the steamer was
boarded by officials andI was examined
I told them the truth, but the inter-
prefer, who was half white and half
Chinese, was bribed by my owner to
say what they pleased. I could not
speak a word of English, and there
was no one to help me. I was taken
on shore to family house, where
was sold for $4,000. Then my troubles
began. passed through weeks of fever
and delirium and wished I could die
Slowly I recovered. My master saw
that life had no charms for me and I
was sold to a man in Sacramento. The
rest you know. Yes, want to return
to my home as soon as my passage
money can be raised"
And this was Lin Fah Who could
have recognized in that haggard face
and wasted form of the poor slave
girl the lovely girl whom we saw on
the banks of the Ping Kong?
"Will he die? Is he dangerously
wounded?" asked Lin Fab one morn
ing, with tear-stained face and voice
choked with sobs. Pal loh! Pal loh,
Alas! alas! 1 have been the cause of
it. 1t was all because of me. Ay yah,
Ay yah! I cannot bear to think of it,
The morning newspapers had told of
The San Francisco call., 1897-12-26

that the week following the girl would
be taken and sold in some distant
mining camp, where she would be
forced into an unnamable life.
There was no time to lose. Leung
All Ping, for that was the merchants S
name, resolved to rescue her from their
clutches. White men could not be re-
lied upon. Some were honest but
others were subsidized by the slave
rings. That night he removed a piece
Of mortar from the wall that separated
him from the adjoining room, then q
piece of lath was sawed away till he
was close enough to be heard by the
wretched girl. She reused herself as
the kind voice addressed her. Listen"
said he, you are in trouble and I can
help you. 1 know what you have suf-
fered. A worse fate awaits you if you
stay here, for next week they will take
you far away and sell you. Don't
despair. Only follow my directions
and you may be free" Poor grill How
often had she been promised and de-
ceived! 'Oh, let me alone; don't worry
me, don't mock me with such words"
said she. eff you have any pity for
me get me a dose of opium that may
end my misery"
At last she listened She drew
nearer. Did she understand the plan?
Yes! She was willing. AS we'll lose
her life in struggle for liberty as to
die by slow, torturing grief, or even
worse. Everything was arranged and
her face lighted up with new hope.
Next day the matron and deaconess
Of the mission went up to Sacramento
All day long the girl waited in a state
of feverish anxiety. About midnight
the last visitor had gone. When all
was still rope ladder was passed
round the porch into the girls window
and made fast to the posts of her bed
She quickly attired herself in all her
clothes, adjusted the cords and waited
the signal. The last footstep on the
sidewalk had died away. She looked
into the deserted street. All was as
still as death. "Huy la" whispered
All Ping. "Ho seng la! Go very care
fully!" Noiselessly she passed through
the window and began her perilous

twenty years ago to provide an asy-
lum and school for the rescue of that
class of Chinese girls who have been
imported and sold for the vilest pur-
poses. A more hopeless condition can
not be imagined. Kidnapped or be-
guiled from their homes in China, liv-
ing in San Francisco back slums, be-
hind barred doors and windows
guarded by highbinders, unable to
speak our language and taught to
look upon every white person as a
foreign devil" what wonder If many
of these wretched women, despairing
of release, have found rest in a sui
c1de'S gravel Upwards of a thousand
of these unhappy creatures have been
rescued from this cursed bondage
since the Christian ladies of San
Francisco began their benevolent
work. Hundreds are now the mothers
of happy Christian homes, and many
household in far off China has cause
to bless these women of America for
the return of some long-lost daughter.
One Sunday evening in the winter of
1886 young Chinese merchant living
at Sacramento presented himself at
the door of the Mission Home. He
asked to see the Sin Shang. There
closeted together he told a sad,
strange story. Next door to where he
lived was a Chinese girl who was in
great distress. Night and day he had
heard piteous appeals with cries and
sobs. II want to go back home. I
will not stay here. Oh, where is my
mother. Kau meng! kau meng!"
(Save life! save lifeD Then followed
angry voices and heavy blows and
muffled cries, as if a hand were held
over the girls mouth. "Shat. tau
nee" Oil kill you) said the harsh voice.
Didn't I pay $4,000 for you and what
are you good for?" Later in the even
ing the merchant stole out into the
back porch and heard a conversation
next door, from which he gathered

tains. The colonel proposed a confer
ence with view of arriving at some
arrangement which should terminate
the long war, and he suggested neu-
trail ground of meeting.
Tataviate returned word that the
fate Of the former chief, Cajemi, was
too fresh in his memory and that he
did not care to leave his defenses to
meet any Mexican officers in confer
ence. He declared bluntly that if
Colonel Pinado wanted to see him he
would have to come into the noun
tains attended only by the Indian
messenger. The chief gave his assur-
ance of personal safety to Colonel Pi-
nado and said that no attempt would
be made to avenge Cajemi's death by
breaking faith, as General Martinez
had done.
Under the peculiar condition Of af-
fairs it took a man of great personal
courage to accept Tataviate's invita-
ton. Colonel Pinado, however, was
thoroughly familiar with the Yaqui
character. He knew they held their
word of honor as something sacred.
He also knew, however, that there
was extraordinary provocation to
break it in this instance. His brother
officers were all opposed to the step,
but when the matter was reported to
General Torres he ordered Pinado to
proceed to the mountains and attempt
negotiations with the Yaqui chief.
The daring Mexican penetrated the
mountains for a long distance, and at
last came to a little valley, wherf
stood the Indian chieftain surrounded
by a dozen of his braves. After the
betrayal of Chief Cajemi the tribe de-
creed that their chief should always
be personally attended by not less
than twelve of the bravest warriors as
a bodyguard.
AS he approached the group Colonel
Pinado handed his rifle to one brave
and his revolver to another. Then he
held out his hand to Tataviate. The
chief took it and patting the Colonel
on the shoulder said, Colonel Pinado,
I thought I was a brave man and a

General Torres, Governor Corral and
other representative Mexicans spoke
for the Government. Tataviate an
swered for his tribe in an impassion-
ed address.
Both sides were accorded full mead
of praise for bravery, and it was ac-
knowledged to be a true treaty Of
peace by agreement and not because
one side had whipped the other.
After signing the treaty number
of cattle were killed and a gigantic
barbecue was given the Indians Ath-
letic sports and bull fights closed the
exercises of the eventful day.
y The next day Governor Ramon Cor
raj and General Torres took Tataviate
and his bodyguard to Hermosillo,
where they were given a great ban
quet. The party then proceeded to
Guaymas, where the celebrations of
peace were continued for several
days. There was absolutely nothing
too good for Tataviate, and he SEEM
ed to appreciate everything at it's
true value.
While at Guaymas Governor Corral
told Tataviate to buy anything he
wanted at the best store in the town
and have it charged. The chief cheer
fully bought twenty-five hundred dol
lars worth of stuff and charged it to
Governor Corral. He selected laces,
silks and a general assortment of the
very best ammunition. At one bound
he became rich in this worlds goods
beyond his widest dreams.
In my trip for The Call I carefully
investigated the present spirit among
the Yaquis. Some Of them are still
sullen, and I would not be surprised
at another outbreak at any time. I
talked with quite a number of the
braves and found them very inde-
pendent. They have a great contempt
for the average Mexican soldier. Not
for a moment will they admit that
