PRACTICAL IDEA OF WHAT
A MILLION DOLLARS MEANS

\ practical idea of what million
dollars means was given few days
ago. when one of Chicago's big
banks moved into its new building,
adjacent to the old one. There was
u little matter of $4,000, 900 In
cash among the moveables. About
half of the cash was in gold coin and
the rest In silver and bank notes.
How should the cash be moved?
At first thought, one might say
put IL In sacks and carry II to the
new buildings. But that Is not the
way the transfer was accomplished.
As the first step in the removal of
cash from the old vaults to the new
ones,a II tunnel was cut connecting the
buildings by passage fer below the
ground surface. Five hundred bank
employees, detectives aud policemen
guarded the operation of removal.
The money was incased in iron
bound trunks from the moment they
left the old vaults until they were
deposited In the new ones.
What was the weight of all these
trunks? The $4,000. 900 in gold
80, sl0 and $40 pieces weighed
fifteen tons, aud the bank notes filled
u large number of trunks. One
million dollars In the form of gold
coin would weigh we'll over two tons.

pected with less than two or three
years. measurements.
The method of obtaining the dis
charge OF a stream throughout the
year is Ms follows. A gage rod is
fixed at some convenient point in
the river and an observer employed
to read and record the daily varia.
tions Of the water. The amount Of
water passing at different stages indi.
Gated on the gage rod Is determined
by the use OF a current meter. Ca
bles are erected across the stream,
and the photographer moves across
In suspended car. holding the cur.
rent meter at various measured posi-
tions In the water.
The instrument automatically in
dicstes the velocity OF the water, and
from this the discharge Is estimated.
Some twenty Of these stations are be-
ing maintained at present. An illus.
tration Is shown Of a station across
the Umatilla river near its mouth,
with the photographer In the car. -

CUSTOMS MILLS MEAN
MUCH FOR THE IMPERIAL.

Captain Paul was In from the In
perial last night. lie says that
mine will resume work as soon as the
title is cleared up on the claims
which were jumped year or so
ago, which will not be great while
now.
The Imperial people are very much
interested In the custom mills which
Mr.. Lilley, Of the Baby Mckee, and
his Cincinnati associates will erect
In the Cable Cove district this year,
rs they have over 5000 tons Of ore
on the dump that will average about
fifteen dollars. Last year he put
800 tons of eighteen dollar rock on
the dump.
This Is ore from which the high
grade has been sorted for shipment.
Anything less than forty dollar
values can not be handled at a pr oft,
owing to transportation charges.
When the custom mills go in. ore
carrying ten dollars can be prohtably
treated.

vein Is full eight feet wide. 1t is
stated that it assays sl4.5O In gold
and carries four per cent copper,

Now, as to its being called the small
vein, that Is merely in comparison
with the other. which is forty feet
wide. declares Mr.. Heal. AMI he is
a man whose word Is always worth

parts. The trouble with this Jumbo
ledge Is that it hasn't yet been

Harney county. In all these project
the summer flow OF the streams ha
been practically all appropriated ant
any further reclamation will involv,
the construction OF more or lesi
costly dams for retaining the food
waters Of winter and early spring.
An idea of the cost of these dams
IL best illustrated by the estimates
on the big dam proposed for the Mica,
ragua canal. Including controlling
works aud spillway, these we're for
%. 900. 900 to s5. 600, 900 according
70 design, the final estimates adopted
being for -, 500, 900.
The best interests of the country
demand, and the reclamation service
itself requires, that the cost Of con-
structiOn must not exceed the value
Of the enterprise when completed.
The largest porject under consider
tion may not exceed 80, 600 acres Of
land. When the value of such land.

thorough investigation Is required
Of the reclamation service. .,
The irrigible land, NJ we'll as all

being gone over aud carefully

Probably the most important of all
the isati.ns IL that to obtain
the amount of water available, the
discharge of the various streams dur.

The absolute necessity for such in
formation Is nicely illustrated by "a

Many claims of recent japanese i'm
migrants against the Kei Hin Bank,
a japanese CORPORATE have been
placed in the hands of J E. Fullerton
for collection. One suit has been fled
in the Circuit Court and three of the
cases are set for trial today before
District Magistrate Lindsay.
The claims are for $50 in each case,
the money representing deposits made
by the immigrants to insure their re-
turn steamer passage to Japan in the
event of their rejection by the inlmi-
grafton authorities. When the immi-
grant has passed he is entitled to re-
ceive his money back, and would have
it promptly refunded if he dealt di-
rectly with the steamship agency.
According to Mr.. F'ullerton's state
ment OF the matter to an Advertiser
reporter, the bank undertakes to coll
lect the deposit for the immigrant It
takes his receipt for the deposit with
power of collection and gives him
in return deposit receipt for the dis
counted claim. Whenever the irnmi-
grant is released from quarantine with
permission to enter the country, the
bank holding his claim can have it
cashed at the steamship agency.
Mr. Fullerton states that the deposit
receipts handed to him for collection,
so far as those translated show, are
made payable three years from date.
Thus the bank has the use Of the i'm
migrants money for three years. The
collector is having recourse to the
| courts to test the legality of such de-
tention of the money belonging to the
poor immigrants.
| The Kei Hin Bank has not yet COM
piled with the law relating to the reg
istration of foreign corporations, as
inquiry at the Office of the Treasurer
yesterday revealed.

PACHECO HAS A
LEGAL TRIUMPH

Frank Pacheco. barber at the Union
Saloon, appeared in a new role yes
terday in Police Court. He defended
Manuel Antoine, bootblack in his en-
ploy, on a charge of vagrancy. Kent,
a private detective, arrested Antoine,
whom he claims to have seen in the
developing room of the Honolulu Photo
Supply Company without lawful excuse.
The man whom Kent arrested escaped
while he was turning in a police alarm
and he afterwards arrested him again
as the guilty party.
Pacheco made an impassioned appeal
TO the court in which he tore the fiimsy
chain of evidence weaved hv the prose-
cution to shreds and exalted the char
acter of the defendant. The eloauence
was not lost on either spectators or
court and Deputy Sheriff c|hIlingworth
made no further argument. Judge
Lindsay discharged the defendant be-
cause of lack of evidence to convict and
Pacheco was Immediately surrounded
by a crowd of friends who congratulate
ed him on his first legal triumph
