Waiohinu, Kau, Hawaii, Jan. 1, 1905.
Mr. G. c. Hewitt, Waiohinu, Hawaii.
Dear Sir: In one of our local pa
peTS, I notice an article N reference
to the Honuapo. Kau, wholesale liquor
Cense. 1t seems to me, that the gov
eminent is trying to stop the renewing
OF a licen-e for 1904. 1 do really be-
lieve, that to discontinue the chance of
having a wholesale liquor house in
Kau, is a step ten years back Since
the opening of the Honuapo wholesale
liquor house, 1 notice that less dis
orderly living among the native popu-
1ation in Waiohinu existed, and hardly
any drunkenness on the streets, and
do not hear of any big fights; of
course, they do make swipes and get
jolly over it, and that it is all. l write
this to you, because I am an old Ha
waiian, have resided in Kau at least
Al years, and know pretty we'll what L
am saying. Take the year previous to |
last, there We're more fights, drunks. |
and a very disorderly crowd of people |
living at the west corner of our little |
village, but today there is hardly any.
1 am not one Of those who
enjoys the use of intoxicating drinks,
L wish them who do, enjoy it in law
full way, and to buy from a wholesale
house, take it home and have a good
lime is a step in the proper way. L
wish to mention here, that on one New
Years day twenty-five years ago, there
were n cases of drunkenness before
he district court of Waiohinu, myself
being a acting Judge at the time,
hink of that, only a. In closing these
ew remarks, 1 may say, that the Illicit
ale of intoxicating liquors in Kau
turing the past has been greatly re-
uced. I hope they will give the kau
eople a chance to get home buying
rom a wholesale house here. instead
f going either to Hilo or Honolulu
D buy.
Wishing many a happy day to you,
(Signed) JNO. H S. MARTIN.

G. c. Hewitt, Esq. Waiohinu Hawaii.
My Dear Sir: Replying to your re-
quest for my views on the liquor ques-
ton as it affects our local district, 1
will say, that 1 have travelled through
the islands to a consIdera BILE extent
and nowhere have 1 seen less drunken
than right here in our own dis
trict. During the past year I do not
recall having seen a single dsor6erly
drunk nor more than five persons un-
Ger the influence of liquor This sneaks
highly for the district, for, as you
Know, my vocation calls me out and
around all the time, and all over the
district.
1t is rumored that We are to have
q retail saloon at Honuapo in place
of the present establishment. Such
place would play havoc with the
working men, especially the Hawai-
iGns 1t would be the resort of all
the worst characters of the district,
and would require the constant atten-
ton of the police force. Having the
interest of our district at heart 1 must
say 1 hope such a change will not be
made.
Believe me very sincerely yours.

LARGEST CIR. ULAR SAW.
One in Pennsylvania Intended TO Cut
Pine Stumps Into Single
Bolts.

The largest circular saw in the
world has just been turned out of a
factory in Williamsport. Pa, for use
in the lumber section of Elk county.
The saw is seven feet four inches in
diameter and wears teeth each one
of which is four inches long. The
saw weighs 305 pounds.
The purpose for which the NAM
moth saw was made is of interest.
says the Philadelphia North Amer
lean. 1t will be used to cut pine
stumps into shingle bolts, thus open
ing to the market a vast quantity Of
material which until recently was
considered useless. In Elk county,
where 30 years ago the forests Of
white pine were hewn down and turn
ed into lumber, there are thousands
of acres of great pine stumps as solid
as they were the day that the trees
were cut any of these stumps stand
from five to eight feet above the
ground, so that in the swampy re-
yions of the Elk county plateaus
there are millions of feet of choice
single wood. The big saw will be
Installed in mill near Straits, and
is particular business will be to eat

ROBINS EARN THEIR CHERRIES
Destroy Insect Pests and Save Far
More Fruit Than They Can
Possibly Consume.

An orchardist at Fulton makes com
plant against the robins or Jack rob-
ins" as he calls them. He says they
are nipping all the blossoms off his
cherry trees. They just strip the trees,
and the ground beneath them is white
with blossoms. He says the wicked
birds tear the hearts out of the blos-
SONS and then bite the stems in two
and let them fall and fears that his
cherry crop will be ruined, says the
Portland Oregonian. A mem Der of the
John Burroughs society VII = as been
applied to for information on this sub
ject says the orchardist is mistaken;
it is only defective ones, or such as
have insects in them, and that the birds
are doing good instead of harm. He
says he puts up nests of boxes among
his trees to enable birds Of any kind,
even sparrows, to make the cir homes
on his grounds. He says that birds help
themselves to few cherries when
ripe, but they are welcome to them, as
they have earned them by destroying
insect pests. 1t is hoped that this in
formation will satisfy the orchardist.
1T is doubtless correct, for if robins
were as destructive as he imagnes
there would long ago have ceased to
be any cherries in Oregon, while the
TACT is that the cherry crop is large
almost every year. and of great value,
The birds must not be condemned on
false or mistaken testimony.

A NEW VEGETABLE SWEET.
South American Herb That May Be
Used in tho Place of Sugar In
Tea and Coffee.

A plant has been found in the north
ern part of Paraguay whose leaves
contain a sweet substance. Small
pieces will have the same effect as q
large lump of sugar if dropped into a
cup Of tea or coffee. The stuff is not
the same as sugar, though, because 1t
Is much stronger and cannot be fer
mented The director Of the Agro-
nomical institute at Asuncion believes
that its chemical nature is different
from anything else now known. The
herb is a rather common one, and the
Germans in that part Of the world are
about to make some elaborate expert
ments in cultivating it for the market.
It is said to contain no deleterious
substance, but possibly the matter
has not been investigated sufficiently.
Fifteen or 20 years ago Prof. Remsen,
now president of Johns Hopkins uni
versity, devised a method OF manufac-
turing out of coal tar substance 300
times as sweet as cane sugar. He
named it "saccharin.'' It's use has
been recommended for victims of GER
tain diseases who are forbidden to
take sugar. Nevertheless, for some
mysterious reason, there has been a
disposition in Germany to prohibit
" law the introduction of saccharin
into beer. Possibly the explanation of
this procedure is political not scien-
tic. Whether the Paraguay plant,
botanically known as Eupatorium re-
baudiarum will eventually prove a
time alone can tell.

Singular Happening in Paris shop

There was an extraordinary occur

tradesman's customers, who had in

and even suggested that they ougit.

the cheese, but half a cigar as well.
One of the guests then threatened
to report the cheesemonger for sell
ing tobacco without permission. High
words followed, and at length t."
customer picked up the offending
cheese and hurled it with correct
aim at the dealers head. A regular
battle ensued. The shopkeeper was
backed up by his wife and three as
sistants and the customer by his
friends. The counter was piled with
cheeses of various kinds, and these
were converted at once into missiles,
while the butter also came in handy.
The uproar attracted the attention of
a policeman, who arrived just as a
large Dutch cheese crashed through

cred his breath he separated the com
batants and took them to the police
station, where they were discharged
with a caution.

 during twenty years are credibly stated to have netted more than one million dollars.
 Of course hoists so dangerous as those are used for hoisting ores and waters only: the workmen des- cend and ascend by ladders. There is not a car nor a track rail in the mine. Those that were in use during the Hammond and Clement regimes have long since gone to pieces and been abandoned. All tbe ores. are handled in raWhide buckets, carried upon the backs of men.
 The three shafts are about 1000 feet apart, and are connected underground by the extensive workings whence have been taken the ores that have produced all the values noted. In the mine and upon the dumps are about 10000 tons of low grade ores.
 The best ores are in the Descu- bridora shaft, ground which has been practically worked without cessation since l796. This is the deepest of the three shafts and there
 OPERATIONS ARE SUSPENDED part of the year by filling in part with water. When the rains come in August the lower drifts fill and no attempt is made to clear them. In October baling commences and is continued until May. Then the shaft bottom is reached and deep development with extraction of rich ores continues until August comes again. In the meantime the mill Is kept running upon ores from the other shafts, Purissima and Casa Blanca.
 The ore bodies are continuous the entire length of the property, and are from twenty to seventy feet wide, while the ores run from twenty ounces silver per ton to 1000 ounces and above, the pay rock being calcite, impregnated with oxides and chlorides of lead and silver. There is also small per centage of copper, which 1t is anticipated will increase with depth, until, as in the Quintera, the process of reduction will have to be changed. With that idea, and with an intention of carrying operations upon an extensive scale, an American syndicate, represent ed by Messrs. Amos Yaeger and w. s. Cranz of Nogales, have

7 family, who were the original owners. About 1875 or '76 a Ger man company. under the manage ment of John Hays Hammond purchased these mines and con- ducted operations several years. The machinery-what is left- shows that the castings were made in San Francisco in 1878. A con- centrating mill and lead shelter, with separating furnaces were erected-also roasting furnaces, the pulp being roasted before concen- tration. Under the administra- tion of Mr. Hammond a number of million dollars in silver bullion were produced. Mr. Hammond was succeeded by Mr. Victor Clem- ent, another well known mining engineer, who took charge in 1883. Within year he netted a profit exceeding $300,000, gold and then the mines were closed down,
 DECLARED WORKED OUT,
 and the property returned to the original owners, who shortly sold to the Ortizes, another old estab- lished family in the Alamos dis trict, who in turn passed the own ership to Don Antonio Goycoolea, in 1884 Since that time MT. Goy- coolea has operated the mines steadily, by the crudest and most primitive processes, having worn out the machinery left by the Ger man company and never replaced it.
 The condition of the machinery and the way it is kept in operation are most remarkable. There are two old hoists that are in constant use, and have heen for years, with out any repairs of any consequence. Some of the bolts holding the covers of the steamchests are gone and have been replaced by wooden pegs; the gallows frames are riekety and loose in all joints; and the cables have been repeatedly spliced, while their entire lengths bristle with ends of parted wires. Instead of cages there are great rawhlde buckets, each holding about 1000 pounds of ore; and they are also used to hoist water. in lieu of pumps. When one of these hoists raises load out from the shaft the engine creaks and groans, the gal lows frame rocks and rattles, the cable whips about like loose shroud in a gale of wind; and for safety the engineer runs outside the building as soon as the mach inery starts, and watches it's opera tion from a convenient point. Should the cable part and the loose end whip about the building he would be out of it's reach. As soon as the edge of the bucket ap- pears above the collar of the shaft he dashes in ard stop the engine, the bucket and it's load coming to a rest at just the right point for tilting. With
 INADEQUATE MACHINERY
 such as this, for the mill and fur naces are in the same sadly dilapi- dated condition, Mr. Goycoolea has sunk one shaft to a depth of 570 feet, another 450 feet, and third more than 300 feet; and the mint records at Alamos show that during a period of eighteen years he has sold to the government an annual average of 250.000 ounces of refined silver, besides shipping to Germany many thousand tons
