part of the tunnel system which
follows the sewer mains. You car
pass all over Chinatown by this
route and, if you know your way
can find an outlet for every house
This is the guides underground
Chinatown, tho some guides can
take you down another level in
spots. We are going farther
Slipping into one of the small
shoots which lead from the main
tunnel we come to platform upon
which a ladder is set. By moving
the platform aside we find another
trapdoor through which we can
descend about eight feet to a
square room. Passages lead each
way and by following one we pass
through an endless chain of small
rooms, all occupied by coolie
Chinks, opium dens, ETC. Another
trap lets us still farther down, and,
if we turn westward, SO as to enter
the hill, before climbing to the
top we will be seven stories under
ground! There are men, both Chi
nese and whites, in this under
ground city who have not seen the
sun for years. With the exception
of the first story or sewerage tun-
mel with the small passages run
ming into it, this entire system of
tunneling was built by the Chi
nese. The lower levels are unknown
to guides or officials and form a
secure hiding place for Chinks
without the proper papers of entry
and for the various wanted
highbinders. We reach the surface
by opening an ordinary door in
the kitchen of a Chinese restau-
rant. This restaurant is in base
ment and is much patronized by
the Chinese, tho tourists more
generally visit the magnifcently
furnished restaurant on Dupont
Street. We can get good meal
here, however, and the walters, all
Chinks, speak several languages.
Their Spanish was picked up,
probably, in Uncle's open door,
Mexico. Pork and rice, don foo,
chop suey, yockemine, are the
white mans usual orders, but the
Chinks select from much larger
bill of fare.
Reaching the sidewalk again,
we pass along a street Clover
Dupont) lined with small shops
and greengrocers' stores. and here
we see several curious sights. A
cobbler mending shoes on the
sidewalk before their owners house
while the owner sits waiting for
his footgear; pipe maker, drilling
the holes in opium bowls, using
funny little bow drill made of wood
and string; and last, a public
reader, who moves along reading
posters and long notices aloud for
the group of Chinks behind him.
As we start for home we pass
through well-lighted alley, one of
the regular routes of the licensed
guides, and see Chink who is not
a Chink, paradoxical person. He
is a Chinese beggar, an outcast
who is Stunned by all Chinese be-
cause he is a cripple. The Chi
nese surgeons never use the knife
and amputation is unknown. This
particular Chinaman has lost both
legs and sits at the side of the
court waiting for aims from white
tourists as no Chinaman will help
him or speak to him. They say,
"He would be better off dead. Let
him die" Perhaps they are right.
Anyway, every guide takes great
pains to tell this story to his party
of tourists and for twenty years
