BOOM MINING OF SILVER.
Action Of Secretary of Treasury Boon
to the West.

Action Of Secretary of Treasury Boon
to the West.
"The principal result of the resump-
ton of silver purchases by the treasury
department, under the necessity Of an
increased demand for subsidiary
coins" says General Frank Hall, the
veteran mining writer, in signed arti-
Gle in the Denver Post, will be to stim-
ulate the production of silver bearing
ores from mines already opened Ger
tain mines that have been closed since
1898 will be reopened, because the
market will be more stable and in the
ever present hope of an advance in
price. This implies early enlargement
of both milling and smelling facilities.
Nothing that has occurred in the
last decade has caused more rejoicing
among producers of mineral than the
action taken by the secretary of the
treasury just promulgated. The bene-
fetal influence will be felt throughout
Colorado and all the mining states of
the west. 1t will augment the produc-
ton of gold, and also of the rare met
ais. An increased output of silver
means large volume of lead, zinc and
copper, for these metals are so closely
associated it is practically impossible
to increase one without a correspond
ing increase of the others"

being taken, while in every district OF
Idaho associations have been formed

Der has already accepted invitations to

COMMISSIONER FANG !: +
IS MADE A WCEROY

Inquiry at the Chinese Consulate de-
veloped the fact that the new Viceroy
of the Provinces of -Kiang and F'o-
kien spelled in the Associated Press
dispatches Touan Fang, is none other
than His Excellency Tuan Fang, His
Imperial Chinese Majesty's High Com
missioner to America and Europe.
His Excellency gave up the post Of
Governor of the Province of Human to
take this present Commissionership and
now the Emperor has honored him with
appointment as Viceroy of the two
great provinces lying between Formosa
and Shanghai Commissioner Tuau
Fang is said to be a Manchu of the
bluest blood, while his fellow Commits
sioner Tai Hing Chi is a Chinese who
has risen through the wonderful sys-
TEN of education and government ex-
aminations in vogue in the Celestial
Empire.
1t is reported on board the Siberia
that among the many secretaries at
tached to the party, including Mr..
Jeu Hong Me, taken on in Japan, there
are hnguists able to speak every Ian
guage in use anywhere on the globe.
The Chinese Consulate was advised of
the promotion of Commissioner Tuan
Fang about two o'clock yesterday af
ternoon and His Excellency was the re-
cipient of many congratulations there
upon. He will not assume the duties
of the new post until his return, but it
gives him high rank and is mark of
high Imperial favor which will, it is
thought make his commission the easier
Of omplishment.

murderer of little Simeon Wharton
The murderer was brought to Homo
lulu yesterday afternoon and booked
at the police station.
A coroner's jury composed of David
Kauualu, J. X Kaiunui, w. P. Kaio-
iohia, Joe Smith and John Mehemia,
with Sheriff Brown as coroner, held a
session at 10 o'clock yesterday mora
ing in the WaiaIua courthouse, and
after listening to the evidence, return
ed a verdict of murder against john
son. Johnson's confession was made
about o'clock yesterday morning and
before the jury convened.
JOHNSON BECAME UNNERVED.
After spending two nights and day
in the dark room of the Waialua jail,
Johnson became unnerved, and yester-
day notified Deputy Sheriff Cox that he
was the murderer. Cox called Sheriff
Brown and Chester Doyle, who repre-
sents the Attorney Generals depart
ment, and in the presence of these Of
ficers Johnson told how and why he
had killed the little boy.
THE HORRIBLE DETAILS.
He told the disgusting story of how
the lad was killed and mutilated. john
son claims that he had been drinking
sake and had slept out the night be-
fore the murder. On the morning of
Wednesday he said he was seized with
the desire to kill, and took the boy
away from his playmates and went to
a spot about 200 feet from the house
where the body was later found, and
did the deed.
After killing the boy. Johnson says
he dug a hole with the knife he had
used in the homicide, but that the ex-
cavation was not large enough to put
the body in, So he dismembered it and
put the mutilated remains into the
hole. In other words, not being able
