FELL FROM THE DECK
INTO AN ANGRY SEA
w. LowMAN DROWNED FROM
THE SHIP S. N. CASTLE.
Was Returning From an Ocean Trip
Made to Regain His
Health.

The ship S. n. Castle, which arrived In
port late last night from Honolulu,
brought the sad tidings of the drowning
Of L. Lowman. a passenger, who was
making a trip for his health.
The accident occurred last Friday in
longitude 150.35 west, latitude Bali north
The vessel had been lying to for about two
days in a dead calm. Thursday afternoon
a breeze sprang up and the vessel again
got under way. Friday morning the
breeze was so strong that it was found
necessary to shorten sail. The sea was
boisterous and the vessel was rolling
heavily. Mr.. Lowman strolled on deck
and stopped at the after companion way
to talk to c. +. Merrill, a fellow passen-
ger. A sudden Iurch of the vessel caused
him to step back several steps in an ef-
fort to gain his balance. He struck the
rail and toppled over it into the sea. Mr..
Merrill at once sprang for the nfebuoy
and threw it over to the struggling man,
who was fast being left astern. Captain
Hubbard was at the wheel a. the time
and at once brought the vessel to and or
dered the small boat to be lowered.
a diligent search was kept up for over
an hour by the men in the boat, who We're
in imminent danger of losing their lives
owing to the heavy sea Nothing was
found but the lifebuoy, and the boat final
ly returned to- the ship.
1t is thought that Mr.. LoWman was un-
able to swim. as the buoy thrown by Mr.
Merrill struck within a few feet of him.

Special Correspondence of The Call.

JUNEAU, Alaska, Feb. 27.-One of
the largest and most unique mining
deals ever made in any country has re-
Gently been completed in connection
with Pande basin, near Sitka. The
parties to the transaction are the Pande
Basin Gold Placer Company and Fred
erick P. VOORHEES,, who is said to rep
resent a New York syndicate of $780,
600, 900.
The property Of the company has
been leased to Mr.. voorhees, for the
term of five years at and for the fixed
and certain rent of $3.50, 600" to be
payable in installments every three
months. Twenty thousand dollars has
already been paid; the first payment Of
$50, 500 is due on June 80 next, and the
second of $4,000 on September 1 next.
After that each quarterly installment
will be $132,500.
The output of the mines in excess of
$500, 900 for each six months is to be di-
vided equally between the parties to
the lease. All buildings, plant, tools,
machinery and supplies used by the
lessee shall belong to the lessor at the
expiration of the lease without any pay
ment therefor. The properties are
placer and quartz.
Maurice l.. Muhleman, who was in
the sub treasury in New York under
Sub Treasury Agent Jordan during
CIeveland's second term, is president of
the Pande Basin Gold Placer Company
and H. S. Martin secretary. Benjamin
p. Moore, formerly Collector of Gus
toms for Alaska, and General H. 1.
Wiley. formerly Surveyor General of
California, are among the leading
stockholders of the company and pro-
motors of the lease. General Wiley is
now in California, having left Sitka for
the south several weeks ago.
In Pande basin is a lake out Of which,
early last January, was drained sixty
one feet of water through a tunnel in
order to leave exposed gold-bearing
sand on the beach. This was quite an
engineering feat. A full description of
it was published in The Call on Janu-
ary 49, A mining expert named Turner
of New York, from assays made from
sand taken out of twenty-six holes dug
in the shore around the lake, reported
it is said, TO the New York syndicate
represented by Frederick P. Voorhees,,
that the sand would yield $S3 and some
cents to the ton and that there was
then, on that average, at least S7,000,000
in sight.
Many mining men here are incredu-
lous over this deal, and the second pay
ment of $50, 900 will be a test of the
serious intentions Of Mr.. Voorhees, and
his associates

INTERNAL REVENUE COMM1S-
sIoNER'S RULING.
Dealers Have No Excuse for Disre-

Be Enforced.

On February 20 Collector John G. Lynch
prepared a very full statement of the con-
dition of the trade in leaf tobacco and
forwarded it to the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, requesting answers TO the
different questions that seemed in doubt.
In answer to this letter the Commissioners
has given full information as follows;
Dealers in leaf tobacco will not be permitted
to sell leaf tobacco in quantities less than
hogshead, case or bale. Neither VIII they pe
they will be required to confine their sales to

celery compound is employed.
No one will need to be told that Paine's
celery compound does it's best work now
as spring comes on. These early spring
days encourage getting well. Nervous
diseases are less stubborn and debility
yields more quickly now than at any
other time.
1t will astonish every one who knows
Paine's celery compound only by hear
say to try it now and to see the change
from a yellow, sallow complexion to a
fresh, healthy color; headaches will
wholly cease; sleep will refresh and the
mind grow clear. By means of this great
modern remedy the liver that has been
sluggish all winter becomes active, and
bilious attacks and the poisonous head
aches and the diseases akin to rheuma-
tsm. which are its result, are cut short.
If it were possible to make a house-to-
house canvass of families where Paine's
celery compound is being used during
these early spring days, an overwhelm-
ing amount of evidence would appear
showing the implicit confidence that is
placed in this greatest of all spring rem
edieS; and the enormous number of peo-
pie who are being cured of some form Of
nervous troubles, sIeeplessness, indiges-
ton, headaches, neuralgia, heart troubles
