BUFORD'S
VOYAGE
AN ERRAND
OF MERCY
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH
OF PROVISIONS BEING CARRIED
TO FAMINE SUFFERERS.

Some persons in Honolulu have gath
cred the impression that the coming of
the United States army transport Blu
ford which arrived here this morning is
for the sole purpose of bringing here
the party of congressman and their
wives who are to make the Territory
visit during the balance of the month.
and regarding whose reception much
has been said The fact of the mat
ter is that the bringing of the Con
81 1ssional party is hut incidental to
the real purpose of the voyage and
the transport will remain here but a
short time, when she will proceed on
her real mission which is the carry
ing of supplies to the famine stricken
thousands Of China.
The principal credit for the expedi-
ton is due to the Christian Herald
of n Y. which headed the con. ri
buttons with funds aggregating $780,
900. Other contributions have raised
this amount to a grand total of nearly
$45O,OOO which is being carried n the
form of provisions of various kinds
by the Buford, through the courtes =
of the government, free of expense.
When the Buford left the pier in San
Francisco on Tuesday, April 3Oth ella
borate exercises were held by the Chris
ton people of the city.
Tremendous rainfall continuing
without a break for forty days and
nights, inundated, in the fall of 1906,
six provinces of Northeastern China.
An area of over 10000 square miles,
equal to the area of the entire State of
New York. and supporting a population
of fully fifteen Million was seriously
affected by the flood, and four to five
millions were confronted with danger
of death by starvation
On Christmas Eve, 1906, President
Roosevelt issued an appeal for help for
the ADMINISTRATION country. That day
the Christian Herald sent certified
check for $4,000 which was the initial
instalment of relief fund destined to
grow into gratifying proportions. On
January 26, it again sent $4,000.
On February 1, 1907 President Roose-
welt forwarded a generous contribution
to The Christian Herald and Secretary
Root gave a like sum, coupling it in
letter to DR.. Louis Klopsch with the
hope that he would meet with the same

The American National Red Cross
Of which Secretary of War Taft is pre-
| sident was designated by President
Roosevelt as the official medium of
| transmission. 1t also appealed to the
public for funds and grain.
Naturally the dram upon the food
supplies in the famine districts and the
districts adjoining thereto raised the
prices to a great extent. 1t was made
manifest to The Christian Herald that
the most available gift would consist
Of cargo Of American flour. to be
sent to China with all possible speed.
Application was made to the United
states government to furnish a vessel
to carry the cargo. In response to this
request, the T. $. army transport Blu
ford was generously and promptly turn
ed over to the American National Red
Cross for the purpose of receiving The
Christian Herald cargo and carrying
the same, free of all expense, to Chin
kiang, the port most central in the
famine district.
Commissary- General Henry c. Sharpe
t. $. Army, give his own services and
those of his department to the fullest
extent in the purchase, inspection ana
shipping of the cargo of flour, of which
1000 tons were purchased in Minnea-
polls and the remainder on the Pacific
coast, through Major Charles r. Kraut-
hoff.
The Buford is now laden with a cargo
Cthe value of the free transportation by
the railways and the government in
cluded), and worth at least $25O,OOO at
prices current in China, when unloaded
at Chinkiang. This cargo will reach
China in about four weeks, and ar
engagements have already been made by
cable for its proper and prompt dis
tribution. 1t is an absolute fact that
this flour will save nearly one million
lives until harvest time.
The Christian Herald has guaranteed
a further sum of $4,000 which will
bring the grand total of it's Cash Con-
tributions and food supplies to 1915,
900.
E. r. tombstone, as The Christian
Herald commissioner, is i'm charge of
the cargo.

tina the revenues are sufficient to JUS

line. The has placed engineers
in the field and a survey is being made
this to be followed as soon as possible
by active construction. The proposed
branch will start at Wabuska, on the

confined to the high grade ore. the Sec

NEW CAMP OF ROSEBUD
HAS SPLENDID PROSPECTS

According to the views Of ]. II. Mac
milan, who returned during the week
after an absence of nearly a month
visiting the districts in which he is in
terested, the new camp of Rosebud in
Humboldt county. his state, is going
to show developments during the sum-
mer months to come which will startle
even the most optimistic amongst the
mining men of Nevada.
Mr.. Macmillan spent several days In
Rosebud and thoroughly took in the
camp in all it's phases. He declares that
the Brown Palace group, which was
located by Phil Blume, a former Gold
field and Columbia man, has the most
satisfactory showing for silver and gold
ore to be found in the entire state. The
property is undergoing development
with a force of twenty men under Super
intendent Captain Case. and is looked
upon by those who have seen 1t as a
very promising prospect indeed. The
Brown Palace group was taken over re-
Gently by Messrs. Chas. M. Schwab and
Malcolm l.. Macdonald and put into the
Nevada Rosebud Mining company.
'Outcroppings of one of the lodges on
this property, according TO MI. mdc-
milan, can be easily traced for a dis
lance of several hundred feet and is uni
formly' strong in it's values. A sample
of several feet of this outcropping across
the ledge gave values of 1896 in gold and
$3.50 in silver. This ledge has also been
opened up on the White Alps group
owned by Judge Bradley and associates
of Salt Lake City and is as strong there
as on the Nevada Rosebud.
The White Alps people have stripped
the ledge for 220 feet disclosing extraor-
