S2OO,OO6 PROFIT.
What the Devlin Mines Will
Earn Per Year.
Earnings of the Stores Are Also
Considerable.
THERE'S ALULLTODAY
All Claims That Are Ready
Have Been Filed.
viii Be Completed at Meeting
December 19.

Considerable speculation has been
indulged in as to the earnings of the
Devlin coal mines. 1t appears from
the supplemental operating report
filed on Thursday afternoon in the
federal court that the net profit from
them will be about 100000 per year.
This figure is arrived at through
statement in the preamble of the re-
port made by the receivers, in which
a statement sets forth that from July
z to September 80 of this year, $685.
S14 tons of coal have been taken from
the Devlin mines and sold and that
the net profit is $44,467.99-
This figure is representative of
seven days less than three months,
and they We're in the summer period
as well. It is perfectly safe to con-
clude that the winter months will
show a greater consumption. So it is
thought that a figure of 5000, 600 per
year will be correct
we are working the mines full tilt,
however, said Mr.. Leland, "and mar
keting all the coal. 1 am not sure
that the consumption would be greater
in the winter Perhaps, however, it
would be-
The operating report also showed
that the company stores sold $59,-

period between July and September
80 on this Mr.. Leland figured a
profit of possibly $1,000. Il should
think" he said, "that the coal and
store profits added together will
amount to about $4,000"

If the expectations of Engineer NJ. NJ
O'Shaughnessey are realized there will
be a new railroad running direct from
Honolulu to the Wahiawa lands before
the world is very much older.
O'Shaughnessey, it may be unneces-
sary to state, is the skilled engineer
who is conducting the operations of the
Kohala ditch, and it was natural enough
that when a number of San Francisco
capitalists became interested in the Ho-
nolulu-W -Wahiawa road they should in
struct him to make Investigations into
the practicability and possible paying
powers of the road.
'I have gone over the route" said
Engineer O'Shaughnessey this morn
ing, "and find that the road to Wa
hiawa will take about sixteen miles.
There are some deep gulches to be
crossed but there are no serious engi-
nering difficulties to be encountered
The road, as I figure it, would be a
paying proposition. 1t is beyond ques-
tion that when the Wahiawa dam is fin
ished and the great artificial lake is
constructed the place will become q

pilot and last night also burned a sig
nal for a pilot, but none came. 1 did
not get any warning from the signal
station until after 1 had struck and
then green light was displayed"
Captain Dieulangard has received
praise for the manner in which he act
ed during the perllous position of his
vessel. He hired the vessels that came
to his aid and did everything he could
to repair his mistake, for he realized
that the vessel must not be left any
longer than possible. He stated this af-
ternoon that the vessel had sustained
no damage and that she was not Leak
ing a particle. The Fearless people
demanded 100000 when they put their
lines on the vessel. 1t is likely that the
matter of salvage will be settled either
IN the courts or by private agreement.
1t is understood that the vessel was
leaking slightly.

vessel struck and he did not realize
that she was in any danger.
When the vessel went aground slack
water had already set in. High water
mark was reached at 1855 a. m. Ac-
cording to the time of the French bark
the Ernest Reyer struck the reef at 2:3O
o'clock this morning. The tide was
then running out and this condition ma
turally increased the danger of the
vessel. Low water was reached at III
o'clock this morning. High tide oc-
occurred at 12:45 o'clock this afternoon.
When the ship went ashore the wea-
ther was fine. There was a fair trade
wind blowing, no swell was running but
there is always a treacherous current
setting along the land at that part of
Diamond Head.
Captain Dieulangard did not fire any
signals of distress and got all sails set
to try and work the vessel off. The
ship is a very large craft however and
was drawing 20 feet so she was very
deep and heavily loaded. The maneuver
was executed well enough but the ship
did not bulge. She was held some
place forward. Soundings showed that
there was p feet aft, which gave her
one foot of water under her stern. The
most serious danger at that time was
the current that had a tendency to
swing the vessel broadsides to the shore
With the aid of the wind that prevailed
however, Captain Dieulangard was able
to point the stern off from shore.
Among the first people ashore to see
the vessel were Diamond Head Charlie
and Admiral Beckley. In fact the YES
sci was pointing almost bow on for Ad-
miral Beckley's flag pole. The Admiral
exchanged signals with the vessel and
learned that she was French craft of

That unlucky strip of land at the foot
of Diamond Head claimed another vic
tim in the early hours of the morning
today At the end of fast passage
of 81 days from Newcastle to Honolulu
the French ship Ernest Reyer went
piling up on the reef in much the same
place that the British ship Don struck
last May and where other boats have
had to battle for their existence. She
struck just off A. r. Gurrey's place or
the old Wilcox premises.
But the unlucky Frenchman did not
go aground in a hopeless way, for it
was stated this morning that the boat
was in no immediate danger and that
there was a chance of pulling her off.
Captain Jules Dieulangard her master
said he was looking for the pilot when
his vessel showed her nose hard and
fast on the reef. 1t was at first thought
that he had mistaken Diamond Head
light for the harbor light and was
bringing his vessel to an anchorage to
await the arrival of the tow boat. AL
most the first thing the French captain
said when w. Mitchell the mate of the
steamer Mauna Loa went aboard this
morning, was what for no pilot stop
off Diamond Head. Pilot ought to
stop off Diamond Head" The captain
said he was using one of the old charts
which showed deep water where his
