claims that it can not be completed

be at fault let us learn who it is and
place the blame where it belongs. If
it is the fault of the administration

ing the issuing of liquor licenses to citi-
zens only" said Consul saito this
morning, "but / will say that it Is a
direct violation of the treaty now ex-
listing between my country and the

is most unfair. Future movements
made by the legislators here will gov

While the Consul did no state it, he
conveyed the impression that should
such law be passed that he would
take the matter up with the officials OF
his government and have them demand
an explanation of the violation of the
treaty rights.

MANY VISITING THE LAVA
FLOWS ON MAUNA LOA-EXCUR-
SION SATURDAY.

The interest in town over the antics
of Pele does not seem to have abated
much as yet The flow is still the
chief topic of discussion upon the
streets and many are making their
plans so that they can leave on the
Kinau next Saturday for the excursion
to the flow which will be similar to
the one run off last week.
As yet the exact location of the origin
of the flow has not been determined.
Last week a man by the name of Nc
Dougall made an attempt to get to the
source of the flow but was forced to
turn back, He was to have started
again last Saturday. with a guide.
He has not as yet reported and until
he does nothing concerning the outlet
in the mountain can be determined and
only then if he is fortunate enough to
have reached the spot where the lava
starts on it's long course down the
mountain side. The guide who ac-
companied him was a native and is
said to be the only man who is tho
roughly acquainted with the contour of
the mountain.
Many people left yesterday for the
big island where they will see the flow.
| Among them was George Lycurgus
who will visit the flow and will send
back messages by wireless.
Dr. Dorcmus SAudder left on the XII
nau. He will visit the flow aside from
lending assistance to Rev A. S. Baker
F. c. Atherton left for the flow on
the Mauna Loa as did E. NJ Campbell
of the Waterhouse Trust Co. Mr. and
Mrs A. NJ. Brown also were passen-
gers.
Kilauea is reported to be in greater
activity than usual If this activity
should keep up it is probable that a
great many tourists will visit the
volcano House instead of the flow on
the other side of the mountain, which
is extremely more difficult to reach.
From present indications the Kinau
will be packed with passengers on hel

the bids for the construction Of the
United States Leprosarium on the ISL

in time to allow possible bidders to get

ing of the bids was extended to Feb

tended to March 4.
Yesterday afternoon Acting Collector

| partment for an extension of time and

fcations, only six sets having originally

TO UNwATER THE OLD EMPIRE
MINE.
(rrem Sundays DailJ.)

Monday the unwatering of the En-.
pire mine, on Groom Creek will be
commenced, under the direction Of W.
c. Albers, n Boston mining engineer
and investor, who arrived here Friday
night from the east.
Mr.. Albcrs gave out last evening
that m soon as the mine was unwatered
n thorough examination would be
made Of II on behalf Of New York
concern, which has taken the holdings
OF the old Empire Mining and Milling
company over under bond. He also
stated that in ease the examination
proved satisfactory his syndicate would
be organized into a corporation and the
work OF development copmenced on n
larger scale than ever Attempted BY
any OF the former owners Of the group.
1T seems to me that all the mining
done In the district, including that on
the Empire, has been on the hand to
mouth PLAN" said Mr.. Albers, "and
that no systematic scheme Of develop.
ment has been followed. The men ms.
scsiated with mo in this undertaking
are all men familiar with the mining
business and possessed Of ample means
TO develop the property into mine,
provided one can be found there"
The Empire claim, wnich is one Of
group OF five locations comprising
the group, is among the oldest quartz
locations in the Groom Creek section.
Hundreds Of tons Of gold ore were
shipped from it's grassroots workings in
the early days. It's principal devel.
Opment is confined To N shaft about
400 feet in depth. from which the
vein has been opened by about $500
feet Of drifts. II IL equipped with
l0'stamp mill, cyanide plant, assay Of.
nee. hosting plant and all mining ap.
planes necessary for the conduct OF
extensive operations. II il located
about six miles south Of this city, mt
an elevation Of 1000 feet.
DR.. Albers is not a stranger in tine
Territory, although he has been en-.
gagged in mining many years in other
states and Territories. In 1879 he
worked In the Stonewall Jackson mine,
near Globe, in company with James
Mason and John Kurtz, who will be
remembered by the old settlers. Kurtz
was later killed by Indians In vene-
zuela.
Albers Is president and general man.
ager Of the Limon company, which
owns n large silver mine in Jalapa,
Nicaragua. He was forced TO suspend
work there about two years ago, be.
ing exiled from the country. His mis-.
understanding with the Nicaraguan
government has been the subject OF in.
