Purveyors of all manner of commodi-

Henry Lund, the Norwegian consul
accompanied Captain Thayer to ask
that the ship Gjoa, presented to the city

matter was taken under advisement
The San Francisco lodge of Elks

park elks in the Portola parade. There
was much discussion as to the advisa-
b1ifty of permitting animals as diff

NOISE LIKE STARCH
REGULATES TARIFF
Government Chemist Advises
General Appraiser of Gus
toms Regarding Methods
japanese Importer Insists That
Product in Dispute Is
Rice Flour

If a package makes a noise like
a pound, but if it can ripple the ether
waves to the vibrations of -four it can
slip through the custom house upon
the payment of one quarter of a cent
a pound.
General Appraiser Marion de Vries
yesterday was put to the task of i'm
posing duties with his ears. Professor
Wenzel, government chemist at the
United States custom house, is the
inventor of the auricular method of
the custom house. The professor
demonstrated before the general ap-
praiser that the distinction between
starch and flour was not unlike the
difference between Wagnerian music
dramas and the latest tone poem by
the composer of my Wife's Gone to
the Country, Hurrah" That is, that
the difference is detected by. the ear.
RICE FLOUR IN DISPUTE
General Appraiser de Vries is hold
ing a tuning fork over the various
custom disputes on appeal from the
decisions of John Mattos Jr., appraiser
of customs of San Francisco. Among
the cases heard during the session
yesterday morning was one involving
the classification of a white substance
designated by the importers as rice
flour on which the duty is a quar-
ter of a cent a pound, and classified by
the appraiser as rice starch, which
pays the impost of 1 cent a pound, or
four times as much a S -four.
Professor Wenzel was witness in
behalf of the government.
How do you know this material is
rice starch?" asked General Appraiser
de Vries.
BECAUSE it makes noise like
starch replied the chemist.
What" exclaimed the general ap-
praiser.
STARCH MAKES NOISE
starch" explained the professor,
makes grating noise when you pinch
no such sound when -four is handled. .
The professor demonstrated. He
took pinch of the stuff under investi-
cation and Immediately the large room
was eddying with the sound waves
stirred by the chafing grains-or at
least it should have been.
Chemical tests to which the expert
had subjected the Importation went to
prove that the material was starch
Wenzel reported that the chemical ex-
animation discovered no gluten in the
material. a further proof that it was
not flour The Japanese importer de-
clared that the gluten had been washed
out.
The case was taken under advise
ment.
CROCKERY AND COAL CASES
An important case to be heard by
De Vries Saturday is that of the Shi-
bata companS covering the value of
crockery imported from Japan. Today
the appraiser will begin to hear the
coal cases. which are to determine
whether ships shall pay separate duties
on coal screenings and lump coal when
the cargo is not segregated The duty
on the screenings is much less than on
lump coal and as 100 Separate impor-
tations are to be considered there is
a large amount of duty involved

treasury department, is conducting the
cases for the government

REFUND TO ZINC SHIPPERS.

Alfred l.. Sharpe, collector or GUS tome. received a check for s45.OO0 from the United States treasury Wed. nesday for the purpose of reliGuidat. ing the duties that have been collect ed by the Fl Paso custom house on
 zinc ore imported into the United
 States from Mexico.
 This is only a part of the total amount that will be refunded to the
 zinc shippers of Msxico because Of
 the ruling of the circuit court of ap-
 peals at New Orleans which held that
 under the Dingley law zinc should
 be admitted free into the United States.
 As a large amount of duty had been paid on zinc shipments into the country, the government ordered the accounts of the different customs houses on the border to be gone over and the amount of the duty that was collected on zinc determined. This was done and it was found that in the Fl Paso office or the customs ser vice there had been between s9o.000 and s100,000 collected on the metal in dispute. This amount was made known to the treasury department and checks will be drawn for the bal ance due the shippers on the reliqui- dalton.
 The Mexican zinc shippers will not receive the entire amount of the du- ties paid to the government. In the

The new owners of the property are tubilan: over the prospects for a big dividend payer and intend to rush work to a; least 300 feet in depth. The mine Is well situated, being in the section contiguous to the well watered part of San Francisco district and accessi- bIe to Gold Road and other camps It is more than probable that the mine will be electrically equipped.
