SMUGGLER OF OPIUM IN
THE OLD DAYS IS dead
WILLIAM A wHALEY, WHO WAS DEEP OPIUM SMUGGLING
DEALS OF THE MONARCHY IN DIED PAUPER, AT SEA
ARMY TRANSPORT THoMAs-Hs HONOLULU
WORK AS sMUGGLER

SAN FRANCISCO, August 1.-THE
passing of William A. Whaley on board
the United States army transport Tho
mas, who died pauper while on the
homeward voyage from the Philippines
recalled to the old officials in the GUS
toms house service one of the strongest
bands of depredators against the GUS
toms revenues that has ever existed on
this coast. 1t will be recalled to the
residents of Hongkong and other Orien-
tai cities the dashing Diamond King"
who led a Monte Cristo" life there
during the early nineties.
The gang" of which Whaley, Fer
dinand D. Ciprico and Champagne
Billy" Boyd were leaders flourished
from about 1883 to 1892, when Ciprico
was sent to San Quentin. Boyd COM
mitted suicide while under arrest at
Alcatraz. Whaley escaped to foreign
lands and lived luxuriously on the pro-
ceeds of his operations, an exile from
America.
Whaley and Ciprico were in the Gus
toms service as inspectors. They were
legislated out of Office in 1885. There
had been ugly rumors of their grating
but both had pull" and they were
let down easily.
Three years later the custom house
officials were astonished at the large
number of Red Eagle" certificates un,
der which the Chinese were being land
ed and it was traced to the gang OF
old custom officials Whaley and Ci-
prico were assisted in the work by an
interpreter named E. w. McLane, Ci-
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1907-08-28

prico was arrested, but the jury dis
agreed and he was released.
Made bold by its success, the gang
started in on a more extensive scale,
A room was engaged in the old Wells
Fargo building (atferward known as
the Crossley), on New Montgomery
and Mission streets. A small printing
press was installed and the gang began
to turn out the bogus certificates by
wholesale
The scheme was arranged by Whaley
and boating man known as Captain
Henry Smith. Smith, who had been
on several voyages to the Orient and
engaged in the opium trade, arranged
for the purchase of the yacht Halcyon
one of the fastest vessels in the bay.
Smith commanded the ship and sew
eral trips were made to ports in China
and the vessel loaded with opium. The
drug was landed in British Columbia
and on the Hawaiian Islands. There
was a duty of 81 a pound on the drug.
The custom house end of the scheme
was managed by Inspector William
Boyd, a young society man, and the
purchase of the yacht and other ex-
penses were met by the outside men
bers of the gang. Three merchants
were inveigled into the scheme They
were d. G. Camarinos, a fruit mer-
chant; Thomas, a photographer and
Wrightman, a candy manufacturer.
These men financed the scheme.
The profits were immense and the
gang grew rich. Boyd was particular
ly extravagant and was known through
out the Tenderloin as Champagne

Billy from mis- penchant Tor opening
bottles of the wine. He also got some
local reputation from lighting cigars
with five dollar bills, so that his friends
could see him burn money"
1t is related that while dining with
friend at Marchands late one night
that she suggested that a bath would
benefit her. Boyd ordered the waiter
to fill bath tub with imported cham
payne and her wish was gratified. 1t
was principally from this incident that
Boyd received the name by which he
was known.
The last trip of the Halcyon was
disastrous. The vessel went ashore on
the Chinese coast and the Chinese Of
ficials found out that there was opium
aboard. The trip was resumed and be-
fore being stopped the drug was landed
on the Hawaiian Islands. The cargo
was very large one and an immense
fortune was made on the trip
Whaley went to Honolulu to collect
the money due from the Chinese mer-
chants. He collected all right, but re-
fused to divide with his fellow con-
spirators. When Captain Smith went
to Honolulu he found Whaley living
the life of a Monte Cristo. Whaley
did not know him any more and re-
fused to talk business or anything
about opium.
Smith returned to San Francisco
bent upon revenge, and gave the whole
thing away to the Special Agents or
the Treasury. Smith was appointed a
deputy and work up the case. What
ley could not be arrested as he had
left for Hongkong, where he was
spending money like drunken sailor.
Whaley was noted in Hongkong for
his extravagant mode of living, but
his luck turned against him and the
usual result followed. He lost all his
money and finally went to Manila,
where he eked out a precarious ex-
istence.
A few months ago the physicians
told him that the end was near. With
out money or friends he was dying
far from his native country. 1t was
cheaper for the government to send
him to America than keep him as a
public charge and he was sent to San
Francisco on the Thomas as an indi-
gent citizen, He died at sea July 2sth.

PROTEST AGAINST PRIZE
FIGHTS ON MEMORIAL DAY

From the Nevada Observer.
The members Of Custer Relief Corps
of Carson City passed resolutions of
condemnation against the prize fight
managers of Tonopah, who have billed
the Sehreck- Hart fight at Tonopah on
Memorial day. The ladies are right.
OF all the outrages perpetrated upon
this state, to hold prize mill on Deco
ration day is the worst.
1t seems that the fellows who are
promoting this affair do not even re-
spect the dead or the sacred memories
of the past.
The good people of Tonopah should
see to it that these fellows be made to
respect Memorial day, if they are not
decent enough to do so without being
forced. Nevada has enough to answer
for without adding this blot to her
record.

2EMAINs OF 8. 0IovONNONI
ARE NOT YET RECOVERED.
ralk Of Shutting Flood Gates in River
and Turning Current Into Ditch
to Facilitate the Search.

Stimulated by the reward Of Peter
Pcdroi of 800 and aided by many
ountrymen and friends Of the deccas
ID, the search for the body Of s. Giov-
onnoni, who was drowned in the Hum
boldt river last Friday at the Pedroli
ranch, still is being enthusiastically
prosecuted. Success, however, has not
attended their efforts and at this writ
ing hope Of recovering the body at this
time is as elusive as at the first.
There is talk now Of closing tn.
flood gates in the river which are sit.
uated about mile above the place
where the man was drowned and turn
ing the water into an old irrigation
channel, thus reducing the force of the
stream and facilitating the search
Whether the flood gates and dam
would hold the river at it's present vol
ume is probametical and it is feared
that THY would give way. The search
ers have placed dynamite in the river
and have resorted to every known
means to bring the body to the surface
but without success.

MUCH WORK FOR
LITTLE PAY
COUNTY ASSESSOR GUTHRIE UP
AGAINST HARD PROPOSITION
Last Legislature Makes Many In
creases in County Salaries But
Neglects Assessors Office.

Whether it was by design or whether
intentional, it is certain that the
Humboldt county salary bill passed by
the last legislature is defective in MANY
respects.
One Of these defects is the fact that
either an increase was made in the
salary OF every officer in the court
house or the office was provided with
a deputy, with the one exception of
the assessors office, and the further
facts that in no Office has the duties en-
larged more, with the exception of the
recorders Office, than they have in
the assessors Office.
Assessor Guthrie states that in his
Office this year the duties have in
creased at least one-third, and in sup
port Of this statement he points out
the new towns that have sprung up in
the county in the past year, such as
Mazuma, Seven Troughs, Vernon and
Rosebud, which requires the attention
of the assessor in the assessing of
property, etc. He points out the Wes-
tern Pacific railroad that is being built
and the great amount Of work that
will have to be done in the assessing
of equipment and horses and the col
lection Of poll tax. He also calls at
tention to the increase in the popula-
tion of the county, all Of which means
added work for the assessor and ex-
officio poll tax collector. M
~ have one deputy now who I am
paying out of my own pocket, and
will be forced to employ another in
order to complete the work." stated
Mr.. Guthrie this morning. "The re-
muneration for the work of the Office
is so much out of proportion that I
have seriously contemplated resigning
and would do so were it not that l
feel responsibility to the people who
by their votes placed me in this office
and it is up to me to fulfill my term"

DRIVEN FROM THE
MOUNTAINS BY
INDIANS
CHARLES e. EDDY TELLS
A MYSTERIOUS STORY
Went to Look for "Scotty's'' Mine
But Was Attacked by Redskins--
Narrowly Escaped Death.

RHYOLITE, May 27.--Attacked by
wild Indians and driven from the fast
pesses Of the Panamint range of noun
tains is the story told by Clarence T..
Eddy, the poet prospector who went
in search of Scotty's mysterious mine
q few weeks ago and returned to Rhyo-
lite Saturday night fatigued and dis
appointed.
In Mr. Eddy and party's narrow es-
cape it is possible that the mystery
of the Death Valley tragedies have all
bten cleared up. If his version is cor
rect, small band of bloodthirsty red
men are hidden away in the wilds of
these mountain Businesses, who have
never been conquered by the white
man. They are armed and equipped
and have for years preyed upon the i'm
migrants and prospectors who have
braved that region.
They have probably killed for all of
these years and their victims have been
charged to the heat and privations If
the desert.
Before being attacked by the wild
men Mr.. Eddy discovered fortress
built Of rough stone far up in the
mountains. In and about this fortress
were fresh cartridge shells anu other
evide noes of recently deadly conflict
Shortly afterward he was met face
to face by warrior fully armed and
equipped for battle. The man, who
bore the face of brute rather than
4 that of a human, was able to speak
broken English and addressed Mr.
Eddy's party in a few words:
"This is the Indians country hs
said. "The white man has taken al
the rest; this is ours. We give yo,
warning
The savage then turned away ant
joined party of half-clad, but armet
warriors further up the mountain.
As Mr.. Eddy and his party wer'

were being watched by the dusky fel

3. p. COMPLETING WORK TO
TAP RICH VIRGIN COUNTRY.

According to advices the Southern
Pacific Railroad company has complete
the work Of setting grade stakes from
Wabuska to a point in Smith valley
near the Schooley ranch and the sur
veyors are now working rapidly toward
Antelope valley. Grading, it is said,
will begin within a short time on the
road. The line is evidently designed
to tap the rich Masonic region which is
proven country and where the indica-
tions are one of the biggest camps in
this section will be located witxn a
short time.
According to information the Virginia
and Truckee railroad is not continuing
the surveys from Minden to the Ma
sonic region and the rich agricultural
portions Of that neighborhood which
were started last fall When the vir-
ginia and Truckee surveys were started
local people hoped they would be push
ed to completion but they have waitsd
apparently in vain; the Southern
Pacific has stepped in surveyed a line
from Wabuska and gives every indi-
cation Of putting in branch to the
fertile and prosperous country now in
the earliest stages Of development. If
present plans, and that road usually
does, it means that Carson City will
lose the Masonic, Bodie, Bridgeport
and Wellington business. The majority
Of the residents there desire to come
to Carson City to trade and make their
purchases but they will drive . long
distance to do 30 if the Southern Pa
cifc taps their country and places Reno
at their door. It is somebody's move.
