PLAGUE IN SAN FRANCISCO.
Chinese Resist Inoc ula ton.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2l.-There Is
no change in the plague situation, no
new cases having been discovered.
The chief interest centers about the
attitude of the Chinese and Japanese
toward the attempt of the Board of
Health to inoculate them against the
disease.
Physicians are still ready to admins
ter the Haffkine treatment, but few OF
the Orientals have been willing to sub
nit to it.
Business in Chinatown Is almost at a
standstill. The merchants have closed
their stores, and the Chinese are arm
ing within doors. The Chinese insist
that the plague does not exist among
them, and that there is no necessity for
incubation. They will not submit to
it, and it will have to be done by force,
II at all.
The Federal authorities at Washing
ton have instructed DIR. Kinyoun, quar-
antine officer at this port, to take charge
of the measures to suppress the bubonic
plague which the local board OF health
has declared exists here. What action
Dir. Kinyoun viii take has not yet been
announced.

A Streak OF Pure Gold.

A remarkable strike has been made

In one Of the drifts a streak OF ore has
been developed that is declared to be
nearly pure gold The streak is two
inches in thickness. This property has
been extensively developed during the
past year by Judge w. b. Hepburn. 1t
