The management of the Robinson
Mining company is elated over the de-
velopments that showed up in the bot
tom of the Sunshine shaft of that
company's property yesterday
The miners working in the shaft
broke through the formation in which
they were working, opening up body
of white carbonate which covered the
entire bottom of the shaft.
The carbonate is solid in the bottom
of the shaft, but upon exposure to the
air becomes disintegrated and falls
apart. the fragments crumbling to a
fine white powder. 1t carries per
cent copper and the management feels
encouraged over the showing, as it is
thought to indicate that the bottom of
the shaft is approaching a considerable
body of good ore.
Samples of the carbonate are on eX-
hibtion at the office of Dickerson &
Ellis.
The work of driving the shaft will be
pushed forward as rapidly as the men
can do the work.

TWO VESSELS AVAILABLE.

81 see in the newspapers that the
Gambler of Commerce is endeavoring
to obtain better passenger transporta-
ton between Hawaii and San Fran
cisco.
IF there is any difficulty in obtain
ing suitable vessels 1 can furnish one
or two which 1 think would do very
well. 1 have noticed a statement in
some of the Pacific Coast papers that
there is a movement on foot to secure
the new steamers Harvard and Yale.
1 know these boats very well and in
my opinion, they are not at all suitable
for the work. However, whether suit
able or not, they are not available as
the line between New York and Bos-

has started today.

your communication of August 10Th,
requesting information as to our plans,
If any, relative to improvements of
local steamship service to Honolulu,
and would state that we do not believe
that there is sufficient passenger bust
ness in sight to justify such an outlay
as would be represented In a passenger
vessel Of the type referred to by you.
Even such a vessel sailing every four
weeks would have to split the passen-
ger traffic with the steamships at pres
ent operating, and although the guar
antee of a sugar cargo would be very
tempting, such boat as you propose,
(and nothing less would improve the
situation any) would cost about ST.
100000, and even though full of cargo
at present rates, she would require not
less than four hundred passengers per
round trip to make her pay a reason

SHIPPING MEN
ARE VERY
VAGUE

Nothing of very definite or salts
factory nature in regard to the steam
ship situation has so far developed
from the efforts of the Chamber Of
Commerce to awaken the officials of
the lines already in operation to the
fact that as a result of their own
apathy and the efforts to be made by
Secretary Straus there is a possibility
of the Coastwise Shipping law being
abrogated so far as Hawaii is con-
cerned. Before urging upon Congress
action in the matter of the suggested
abrogation of this law it was deemed
wise by the Chamber of Commerce to
learn from the management of existing
lines what was being contemplated by
them in the way of remedying matters
A letter of inquiry was sent out. To
this number OF answers have been
received, but none of the lines promise
anything definite. The management of
the Pacific Mail Company has not as
yet even answered the letter of in
quiry nor acknowledged its receipt.
The answers received are the follow
ing, as read at the meeting of the
trustees of the Chamber of Commerce

I'VE would now acknowledge receipt
of your favor of the goth of August.
relative to the possibility of the in
auguration and maintenance on our
part of a first-class local steamer of a
passenger capacity of 800 passengers,
to operate on a four-weekly schedule
at a speed of not less than sixteen
knots.
I'VE appreciate the unfortunate con-
dition of affairs relative to the trans
portation of passengers between here
and the main land as they exist at the
present time. At the same time, 1t is
a matter for serious consideration to
secure or have built and maintain and
operate steamer of the passenger re-
Quirements and speed indicated by
YOU, considering the present available
business offering and rates
now being paid for the transportation
Of cargoes between here and the MAIN
land, and, in our opinion, question
as to whether investment in such prop
erty would be profitable, under the
present conditions.
In reply to your inquiry, we would
state that the only present plans that
we have along the line of increasing
Dur present freight and passenger ser
VICE between here and San Francisco
is adding to the present fleet of the
company a new steamer of the freigh-
ter type, capable, however, of accom-
forty-two first-class passen-
age between the two ports in seven
gers, and expected to make the voy-
age between the two ports in seven

vel will be available for service by the
first of May of next year.

vicinity of the Union Feed building.
This was about Gas o'clock Here,
says Ronkin, they set upon him, knock
ed him down, rolled him in the dirt
and stole his silver watch, breaking
the chain in doing so.
A telephone call was received from
the neighborhood of the hold-up, and
Bicycle Officers, Espinda and Puaf1
were dispatched to look into the trou-

No. 50 and when Ronkin stated that
three Porto Ricans had held him up,
Espinda remembered having seen this
hack with three Porto Ricans during
the afternoon. He left Puahi to take
Ronkin TO the station and went in
search of the hack and the Porto
Rican tougfs. On King street, near
