RICH COUGER MINE.
Million Dollars Can't Buy This Valuable
Property.

Property.
The following has appeared in several
papers, the credit being generally omitted.
1t was first published in the Granite Gem
and, Of course, was stolen by Baker
City paper:
Away up near the top of Cougar noun.
tain, about three miles north of Granite,
is mine that million dollars would not
buy. How many millions would buy
it we cannot say. There is over two mil
lion dollars worth of ore in sight in the
mine, and on the lower dump is 5000 tons
Of ore taken from the main tunnel before
the mill was built, that averages S3s to
the ton. At the dump of the upper tun.
tel are 1000 tons that averages $50 to the
ton.
In June, 1898, w. J. Larkins ran across
quartz boulder some three feet in diane.
ter that assayed SIa5 to the ton. lie
bought that boulder and the ground on
which it rested from Grant Thornhurg
and others and spent Sl2oo in finding the
ledge it came from. He found 1t. This
ledge was ten fee. from wall to wall, and
averaged the same as the boulder. lie
sunk Shaft ITO feet, and found ore at the
bottom that assayed sos ton.
Then went down the mountain to the
south end of the claim, and ran croSscut
intersecting the ledge at % feet, 20 feet
wide, where it averaged s,s ton. They
drfted north in one continuous ore shoot
that averaged 500 a ton. They have one
uprise 10 the surface carrying the same
values from bottom to top. They have
drited on the ledge 100 feet south OF the
crosscut in the same ore shoot, making
700 feet long, averaging from five to 20
feet wide, with the same average values
as given above. They have another tun-
mel on the hill north of the workings com.
mencing near the top o! the uprise and
have run 200 feet north on the ledge,
showing an average of IS feet and values
of $40 a ton. Where stoping is going on
in the lower tunnel ii is abou, $50 feet to

IS CONTAGIOUS LEPROSY
EXAMINERS REPORT ON CASE OF
GEORGE PRATT.
The "Feeler" From San Francisco
Experts and Must Return.

George Pratt, the leper suspect who
came down by the China from San
Francisco as a "feeler" for the Board
of Health of that city, was this noon
officially declared leper by the board
of examiners of the Hawaiian Board
of Health. The board of examiners,
which consists of five experts on lepro-
sy, was assisted by Dr. Hoffman, the
leprologist and bacteriologist of the
Board of Health. over an hour was
consumed in the examination, which
was, on account of the Importance of
the case, more carefully looked into
than any other in a long while.
The unanimous conclusion of the eX-
perts was that Pratt has leprOsy and
that of as much contagious kind as
any on the island of Molokai or else
where His claim that his particular
case is of a non-contagious kind is not
accepted by the examiners, as indica-
ton is to the contrary.
Mr.. Pratt refuses to go back to San
Francisco. He has been informed that
the easiest way out of the difficulty is
to voluntarily return, as the local
Board of Health will do all in its pow
er to prevent his going to Molokai and
becoming a charge on the Territory
AS he has now been officially declared
a leper DIR. Carmichael will endeaVor tC
persuade him to return. If this fails
the case to Washington, asking for an
order returning the man to San Fran
CISCO He believes that DR.. Wyman will
issue such an order.
There is no longer any question but
| that Pratt came here with the knowled-
| ge and with the assistance of DR.. Morri-
sey and DR.. O'Brien, of the San Fran
cisco Board of Health, and it is almost
equallyN certain that that Board Sent
him down to test the Hawaiian laws
with a view to dumping their pes
house upon Molokai. 1t Is a fact thai
| Pratt was taken to the steamer China
| and seen off by an executive officer o
! the San Francisco Board of Health. II
| the matter Mr.. Pratt although guilty
of following anything but the square
course in the first place, seems to b'
| trying to rectify matters now. He ha:
made clean breast of most Of the con
spiracy of the San Francisco Board o.
Health, and the thing looks like one o
the dirtiest meanest deals ever at
tempted by one city upon another. L
sounds like bits of ancient histor!
around Athens and Sparta and th'
other feudal Cain-hoys of the Mediter
ranean.
The local Board of Health is highl!
indignant and may be depended t
take the strongest measures in III
power. DR.. Carmichael, DR.. Amass
and the other United States official
here feel equally strong on the matter
The case is as new to them as 1t /
unprecedented in any part of the world
and they will leave no stone unturne'
to protect the baby territory from tn
outrage.

PRIVATE BOXES TOR HLL0

Acting Postal Inspector in Charge
Robinson and Assistant Postmaster
Louis kenake returned this week from
a trip to Hilo made in the interests or
postal business. AS the result OF their
trip contracts were made for the in
stallation of private boxes at the Hilo
post office, and 215 were shipped there
last evening.
The people at Hilo have been asking
for months to have private boxes IN
stalled. When the matter was investi-
gated several months ago by Mr.. Rob-
inson it was found that the postoffce
was located in a building owned and
controlled by the territory so Mr.. ROD
inson did not feel justified in mourning
the expense necessary TO the installation.
He asked the town officials to attend
to the matter but as they had no funds
with which to pay for fitting In the
boxes it looked as if no relief could be
secured. Mr. Robinson secured authori-
ty from the postal department in incur
the expense and on his recent trip ar
ranged to have the boxes installed. TINS
work will cost at least 5000 and prob
ably more.
Some complaint has been made by
ont of town subscribers to newspapers
that they do not receive their papers.
The postal authorities state that the
fault lies with the manner of address"
ing the papers to a certain post office
when the subscriber may not reside
within that particular postal district.
Under the old Hawaiian system the
postmaster knew practically everybody
residing within a radius of many miles
and bv sending the papers from one
post ~n~4 office to another eventually
succeeded in getting them to their des-
tination. Under the system of the
| United States this free and easy method
of conducting the postal system has
| been abolished and unless the papers
are properly directed they are not apt
to reach the subscribers.
Another cause of annoyance is the
| habit of addressing papers to Koolau,
| for instance There are no less than
four different post offices in the Koolau
district and naturally postmasters un-
| less they are personally acquainted with
| the subscribers do not know where the
papers should be sent.

INDICATING THAT HE WAS A
WHITE.
Two Mysterious Disappearance Link
ed With the Remains-Algernon
Shaw and Census Agent Macdonald.

The skull Of the man who was found
dead yesterday near the lower Nuuanu
reservoir was brought to the police sta
tion yesterday afternoon, but it does
nor furnish means of Identification.
There is not enough evidence to decide
even whether the deceased was a white
man, Chinese or a native. He had
the clothes of a white and that is
about all that can be said
The skull which, excepting the
clothes, which were left at the scene
of the finding of the body affords the
only means of Identification, is at the
office of the deputy sheriff. Five upper
teeth and four lower teeth are missing,
and appear to have been extracted. 1t
is likely that they were drawn and
replaced by false teeth, as all the other
teeth are in good condition. This is
the only clew the skull affords, but it
might be enough to settle some theo-
ries as to the identity of the dead man.
No false teeth were found, but the ex-
fractions are too clear to have been
accidental.
The hair that had fallen off the head
is deep black, the color of a China
mans hair, but there is not enough of
it to make it certain that the dead man
was a Chinaman. The condition of the
bare skull indicates that the man had
been dead a number of months.
Two very strange ana Unexplained
disappearance of the past year are
talked of in connection with the dead
body. One is that of young Algernon
Shaw, who dropped out of sight a year
ago last August. Since then his mo-
ther in New Jersey has written a num-
Der of letters TO Honolulu people and
to the pursers of steamers coming here,
asking that they try and find out for
her what became of her son, but no one
has been able to trace him. He is COM
pletely lost though his parents have not
given up their efforts to find him.
Census Agent Mcdonald is another
man, who disappeared more recently,
whose name is mentioned in connec-
tion with the unknown remains. He
dropped suddenly out of sight, and his
disappearance is a mystery without eX-
PLANTATION.
The chances of Identifying the re-
mains appear to be very slight. The
inquest began this afternoon, with no
thine for the jurors to go by but the
decaying clothing that was left where
it was found, the skull with its seven
extracted teeth and the few locks OF
black hair
If the remains are those of Alger-
non Shaw, anyone who could assist in
identifying them would put an end to
the long-continued suspense of faith
er and mother who are waiting in con-
stant anxiety for tidings of a son who
was suddenly lost in Honolulu.

PLAGUE SPREADING IN SAN
FRANCISCO.
Cases Being Reported as Other Dis
eases-The Doctor Fears Large In
crease in Number of Cases.

According to DR.. Kinyoun the bubo-
mic plague is spreading over a large
area in San Francisco and according
to the same authority, there is likely
to be large number of cases in the
near future. The Doctor in reply to
an inquiry from the treasury depart
ment, marine hospital service at Wash
ington, made a report upon the situa-
ton, closing with the following para
graph:
In conclusion, 1 would state that it
is my belief that the area of infection
is gradually growing wider, so that
now there are only 8 blocks of the Chi
nese quarter proper in which there has
not occurred, since March last a case
of plague. The conditions which will
obtain in the next six months will be,
in my opinion, conducive to a further
outbreak The Chinese population will,
in a few weeks, be augmented by sew
eral thousand more than exists during
the summer months. About 5000 Chi
nese return every fall from the salmon
canneries of Alaska. Then at the end
of the fruit-picking season, which now
is rapidly drawing to a close large
numbers of Chinese who are thus en-
gagged seek a temporary home in San
Francisco during the winter months.
These people to all intents and pur-
poses are contract laborers, and are of
the lowest coolie class. They live un-
der the worst nNBlenlC conditions ina
ginable. 1t would, therefore, not sur
prise me to See a number of cases of
plague occurring among this class of
people. l will transmit. as soon as OBJ
tainable, a map showing the infected
as well as the number of cases which
have already occurred"
The rest of lengthy report is de-
voted by Dr. Kinyoun to descriptions
of three cases reported in October,
with accounts of the archaeological ex-
periments at which DIR. Ryfkogel state
bacteriologist was present. DR.. Kin
youn says: "Dr. Crowley, a member
of the State Board of Health, stated to
me on the 9th instant that the State
Board of Health was of the opinion
that for the time being the city board
of health was able and ample to meet
the requirements of the situation; that
while there had been meteorological
evidence of the existence of bubonic
plague, there was not sufficient clini-
| cal data to warrant any steps to be
| taken"
BY kilograms sent during November,
! DR.. Kinyoun tells of two other cases.
and in a dispatch dated November .,
! he says Believe other cases occurring
| in San Francisco being reported under
other Names" one of the November
| cases was a white woman, who had
been nursing a supposed case of dyp-
| iberia.
In DR.. Kinyoun's last dispatch is the
| following: Hospital authorities burn
| morgue today"

TRAFFIC ON THE RAILROAD
AGAIN OBSTRUCTED.
Heavy Rains at Kaena Point Last
of the Mountains.

What would seem from the meager
reports received of it, to have been a
landslide, occurred sometime last night
at Kaena Point, this island, again in
terrupting through traffic on the Ca
hu railroad
When train No. 4, in charge of Con-
ductor Billman and Engineer Charles
Musgrave which leaves Kahuku early
in the morning arrived at Kaena Point,
it was found that the track for nearly
a mile was made impossible by boul-
ders, earth, and rocks that had fallen
down on it from the cliffs above.
The road at this point runs along the
foot of the mountains which crowd
close to the sea. During the night
there were heavy rains at this point
as there were all along that side of
the island. 1t is supposed that these
rains added to the rains that have fall
len in the past two weeks loosened the
soil and loose rocks on the sides of the
mountains and sent them falling to the
track below. At some places the fall
of debris that blocked the track was
heavier than at others, but for a mile
there were stray boulders and piles of
earth on the tack
The trainmen at once notified the
general officers of the road by tele-
phone. A large force of laborers under
the personal direction of Superintend-
ent Denison was sent out on the reg
ular train leaving here at 9:15. That
train will only go as far as Waianae,
but at Waianae the workmen were to
be transferred to the work train, which
has headquarters there and taken by
it to the scene of the obstruction. 1t
is expected that the distractions can
be removed in a very short time, and
through traffic resumed.
