STABILITY of obtaining expert and dis
interested testimony, should any fresh
emergency arise this winter. is beyond

both bitter and unfortunate. The city
sustains close commercial relations with
Honolulu, Yokohama, Manila aud GER

the real plague had then recently pre-
vailed. In consequence the health au-
thorities Of San Francisco were on the
alert for its appearance at their own
doors. In March several cases Of
mysterious illness resembling the dread

others occurred within the next few
weeks. Almost from the beginning there
was friction between the local health
board and Dr. Kinyoun on the one
hand, and on the other the Six COM
panies, which represented the business
interests Of the Chinese population.

PLACER MINE IN WALL STREE I.
Deposit of Gold Has Been Worked
 Profitabiy for Years.

There is a placer gold mine in the heart of Wall street that has been worked with great profit for years and will be worked with great profit for years to come. The yield of precious metal runs about the same from year to year. The mine is on the roof of the government assay office. Gold is such volatile element that in the process of refining much passes out of the chimneys with the smoke. But the moment it comes in contact with the cold air it resumes it's metal shape and falls to the rcof in yellow powder. It is so h. " that the rains cannot wash it entirely from the roof. says the New York Mail and Express. After heavy rains it is found lodged in the gutters and men with brooms sweep it up carefully and return it to the as say office. This gold is net profit to the government as it really belongs to nobody, but as it falls on the roof of the government building Uncle Sam clearly has the first claim The mine is guarded jealously by the federal Watehmen and no stranger eyer steps on that precious roof Bad boys in the
 bankers offices. knowing of the preci- ous deposit, have racised their brains for generations to devise a way of r..id- ing Uncle Sans mine. if any windows overlooked the roof. halls of soft putty tied to threads might Lift the precious
