JAPANESE EDITORIAL VIEW
What the Press of Toxic Is Saying
About the Controversy.

About the Controversy.
Toxic. June 10.-In regard to the
recent attackon a Japanese bath house
and a restaurant in San Francisco the
Jill advises its readers not to believe
that the unfriendly sentiments of San
Francisco people are shared by the
whole United States nation. The pa
per points out the danger to friendly
relations between Japan and the Unit
ed States which might result from such
misrepresentation. 1t also expresses
full confidence that the Washington
government will he able to settle the
matter satisfactorily.
The Stochi suggests that the tradi-
tional friendship aTS the outrages suf-
fered by japanese in<she United States
are two things that must be kept dis
tinctly separate in solving the question
of assault on japanese in San Fran
cisco. which is now at issue. The
Hochi says the outrage should be con-
sidered irrespective of the locality Of
the occurrence. Continuing. it says:
should similar discrimination and
persecution be practiced against citi-
zens of European power there would
certainly have been the strongest out
bursts of Indignation on the part OF
the whole nation that suffered by
them.

Chicago, June 10 Twenty-Five
known dead and forty persons injured
constitute the list of casualties result
ing from storms of tornado severity
which swept over southern Illinois and
Indiana and central Kentucky. These
fatal vlsitations came in the shape Of
torrents of rain, high winds and cleo

age will reach many thousands of dol
lars. Houses were swept away,
bridges demolished and thousands Of
acres of growing crops destroyed.
louisville, June 10. - Twenty-one
persons dead, the village devastated
and several thousand acres of growing
crops ruined, is the sum total Of the
havoc wrought by a rain torrent that
descended on Gradyville, Ky, and vi
clnity. All the dead are residents of
Gradyville, and although reports are
meager, owing to the remoteness Of
the place and the prostration Of tele-
phone and telegraph wires, it is be-
lieYed that no further fatalities will
be reported from the surrounding
country.
List OF Those Who Died.
The dead are: Mrs. L. c. Nell, wife
OF State Senator Nell, and her four
children; Mrs Lum Hill and one child;
Mrs. Carl Wilmore, her daughter and

Rains Create a Tidal Wave"
The disaster was due to the erratic
behavior of Big creek, ordinarily
small stream, but which was already
swollen by recent rains. When tbs
storm precipitated three inches of rain
in an hour on Gradyville and vicinity
the creek leaped from its bed and took
new course with the impetuoSity of
a tidal wave The inhabitants OF
Gradyville had no warning and near
" all were abed when the foaming
waters struck the place carrying away
six large residences, a mill and a num-
Der of smaller houses. Nearly all the
victims were drowned, but four were
crushed by the collapse of their dwell
ings when the torrent struck them.

With this end in view representa-

Saionji ministry have been at Wash
ington to consult with the Japanese
ambassador and the state department
officials regarding the Objectionable
clause in the immigration bill, the
California school question and the re
cent riots in San Francisco. The re-
port which they have sent to Toxic,
it is alleged, will form the basis of a
systematic campaign to bring about
anti-United States demonstrations in
Japan and to force Foreign Minister
Hayashi, if possible, to demand indem-
nifty and an apology on account Of the
Japanese disturbances in San Fran.

necessary before beginning more extensive op-
erations, and when this was done it was time
for supper
Every one was in the best possible spirits
over the result of this days work. The placer
was so rich that in the dozen or more pans Of
earth that had been washed they had nearly
an ounce of gold, and this they would have
considered profitable labor even if nothing
more had been done.
1T looks as if it was pretty rich fnd"
Bart said, in a tone of satisfaction, while they
were eating supper; "but the trouble is that
you never know when these kind of diggings
are going to peter out We may find gold
enough to make it pay to put in hydraulic
works, and then again we may exhaust it in
week"
But we're sure of getting out some god"
said Kirk, determined not to lose sight Of that
fact.
Indeed we shall, and good deal of it; SO,
instead of the trip being failure, you can
carry home dust enough to pay for all you've
spent, to say. nothing of the pocket you struck
at Silver Cliff"
There was great rejoicing in the ravine that
night, and when the boys did finally 90 to
sleep it was to dream of wonderful deposits
of gold which required no more labor in get
ting than simply to shovel into baskets
the work of making the sluice-boxes and
getting them into position was more of an
undertaking than at first appeared, owing to
the fact that it was necessary to hew all the

was gouged in the granite hills, probably by
glacier. This flow of gravel is known among
miners as "wash-gravel" II derives its name
from having had its sharp edges worn off by
Gold is distributed throughout the wash.
Ihis gold-bearing gravel lies on the bedrock,
50 called because beneath it no gold is found.
The bedrock may be a solid layer of rock in
places, or clay, or simply a compact sand,
formed by the decomposition of the original
bed; but OF whatever composed, it is the rest
ing place Of the golden gravel
Through the gravel, and not differing from

known as the "pay-streak." This belt varies
In width from few feet to many yards, and
IS characterized by a snuosity of flow. Why
the gold runs in a streak, instead of being
distributed uniformly throughout the gravel,
will probably never be known
The fact is, that outside the streak the gold
is in fine particles, and the gravel is compara-
lively worthless Therefore, to make placer
mining remunerative, the miner must follow
the pay-streak," otherwise he will hardly
be able to get sufficient to reward him for
his labor.
Bart worked his pan carefully, washing out
the sand and the small gravel-stones, and
picking out the heavier pebbles, until in a
few, moments nothing but about a pint of
dark iron-sand remained With quick move

supplied all the water that was needed, an6
to the boys
They. could hardly restrain their impatience
until time to clean up, so eager were they to
ascertain how much gold they had taken, and
when finally the boxes were cleaned their JOY
knew no bounds.
The first days labor. when matters were
not working as smoothly as they would be
later on, realized as nearly as could be judg.
ed, SIX ounces of dust, which was worth at
least one hundred and eight dollars
The second day the yield was nearly twice
as as good, in point of dust obtained, and then
Bart was no longer able to aid them at the
diggings.
The wound in his arm, which had nearly
healed over-thanks to the virtues of the salye
had suddenly become inAamed. He had
probably taken severe cold by remaining
knee-deep in the, water day after day, and
after the second "wash-up" it was swollen so SO
badly that he had no use of it. Unless he
should exercise the greatest caution, he would
be in critical condition, and Kirk assumed
authority at once by saying:
You mustn't work any more until your
arm looks better than it does now. You can
stay around the camp or watch us; but YOU YOU
must keep away from the water. You've
probably strained as well as taken cold in Il.
for you hewed all the lumber for the sluice,
boxes, which was too much work for man

held at sharp inclination, allowing the water
to run in again over the edge.
This second supply Of water was used ex-
of the sand being thrown out of the pan by

triumph, Bart stood erect.

convinced that they had found that for which
they s4i had Si come j. il search aTS1 .;d p.4 ,
but the look of triumph had not died out of
his face, "and it's what l call pretty rich

Kirk and Dory were as excited as two boys
well could be, and they. were about to begin
self some of the yellow dust for which men
are willing to brave, any danger, when the
guide stopped them by saying:
eve don't need to do anything of that
kind, for we've got all the water we want.
Wen locate the, pay-streak; then put in our
auice-boxes, and the brook will do all the
work for us. You see, it wouldn't pay to
pan it all out when we can do it so much
faster"
The boys had general idea of the kind of
labor Bart proposed TO have done. They knew
that narrow boxes, made in sections, and fit
ted together, with strips of board nailed in
the bottom, to form rifles, in which to catch
the gold would be run from the lower end of
the pay-streak; that all the earth above the
wash-gravel must be shoveled away, and that
the brook, diverted from it's course, would
force the pay-dirt through the sluice-boxes.
AS often as necessary, the water could be re-
turned to its natural channel, while the gold
was taken from the rifles, after which the
work would be resumed.
Bart, aided by the boys, continued up the
ravine, digging holes and panning the earth,

began the necessary work.
