LUCK TO MINER
LATTER 40 YEARS
ARGONAUT NOW GOES BACK
HOME WITH MILLION. - IN
TENDS TO SHARE FORTUNE
WITH AGED SISTER.

San Bernardino, Mar 8.-Harry
Parsons, desert miner, rs years old,
LETT San Bernardino yesterday for
Philadelphia to visit relatives whom
he has not seen for so years. He
goes back with a fortune estimated
at 81, 100000, all amassed within the
last four years among the mining re-
gions OF this county and Southern
Nevada.
When Bullfrog was first discover
ed Parsons was campcd ten miles dis
tant trying to make himself believe
that he had at last made a strike.
He threw up his claims and joined
the rush, his burro dying within a
quarter of a mile of the original
strike.
This misfortune compelled him to
camp on the spot, and In the morning
he discovered he was on a rich ledge.
TWO weeks later he sold his holdings
for $4,000.
This was the first generous wind
fall the old miner had experienced
after 40 years of almost constant
search for the precious stuff, during
which he constantly faced hardships
and several times looked death in
the face.
With his funds Parsons bought up
outlying mining claims about Bull
frog and within six months had dis
posed of them to eastern capitalists
for sums aggregating more than a
million dollars.
The Nevada, Los Angeles and San
Francisco banks were bursting with
his gold, and now he goes east with
the ambition to share his gains with
relatives, one a sister who, so years
ago, having great faith in the gold
fields of California, sent him forth
giving him all her money, little
more than $500, to outfit him for the
journey to the gold state.

MILLIONS FOR DE-
TENSE OF PACIFIC
AGAINST JAPANESE
IN CALIFORNIA RESULTED IN
LARGER APPROPRIATIONS.

Washington, D. c., March s.
While the japanese war" at Sacra-
mento, Cal, as it has come to be
called here, failed to secure exclusion
Of Asiatics. it served to prevent de-
crease in the appropriations for coast
defense, and although no new coast
legislation of note was passed at the
session just closed, diplomatic circles
regard the agitation as the best thing
that could have happened for the en-
tire coast.
Not only did increase in coast ar
mament result from the agitation, but
full appropriations were made by Con-
gress for Hawaii and the Philippine
Islands, while the estimates for the
other parts of the country suffered.
The war scare served to attract in
creased attention to the Pacific Coast
and probably will result soon in an
exclusion law, and better regulation
of immigration. The coast discus
sion and agitation divided honors in
public attention with the differences
between the president and congress as
the most talked of event of the sea-
son.
Millions for Defense.
More than 100000 provided for
in these acts according to the war de-
partment, will be spent in fortifying
the Pacific Coast. The sundry civil
bill carries $35O,444 for new barracks
in the Philippines and $250,000 for
buildings on Corregidor Island in the
harbor of Manila, which will become
the Gibraltar of the Pacific.
The navy act gives Puget Sound
navy yard s920,250; Mare Island,
$500, 900; Cavite, $4,000, and Tu-
tuila, $500.
The army act provides for new
cable between Washington and Alas
ka at a cost of 100000. The Mare
Island appropriation includes $780,
900 for dredging channel and sew
eral new buildings. The Puget Sound
yard will get new buildings and ma
rine garrison at Bremerton.
Fleet Will Not be Divided.
The coast lost the senate amend
ments to the naval act for survey for
new naval base south of San Fran
cisco, for stationing half the fleet in
the Pacific and for building GOLFERS
at Mare Island.
No new work was provided for by
the rivers and harbors bill, but con-
siderable sums were provided for the
continuance Of work already under
way.

USE FOR SCRUB PINE.
Forestry Bureau Reports Result of
Tests in Laboratories.

The long neglected scrub or Jersey pine
growing on abandoned farms and cut-over
lands of the east. seems destined at last
the forestry bureau reports. to have
reached its rightful place a material
of value. according to the results OBJ
tanned through recent pulp and paper
making tests at the forest service labora-
tories here.
Scrub pine might have been used to
good advantage long ago. but it did not
seem to the practical papermaker worthy
of trial. BY only slight changes of the
treatment ordinarily accorded pulp wood
In the sulphite process it has now yielded
a pulp product which it is thought can
be used as a substitute for spruce sui
phite in the manufacture of newspaper.
One advantage for paper making which
scrub pine is said to have is the fact
that there is less loss in barking II than
with ordinary spruce.
The wood yields quite easily to the sui-
phte treatment. The fiber is strong and
durable.
Practical papermakers who have seen
this product are almost unanimous i'm
claiming it to be strong. long fibered
and hard wearing pulp. which seems es-
pecially desirable for making bag news
and wrapping papers. Several even went
so far as to say that it would make fine
bank or ledger papers when properly
handled. and that this wood gave one of
the best fibers which has been prepared
from pine wood.

Claims Accident, But Victim Says It
Was Premeditated

Special Dispatch TO The Star
CUMBERLAND, Md. March 13.-Roy
Robinette. aged twelve, of South Cum
berand, was shot in the abdomen this
evening by Earl Powell a lad of the same
age. who is under arrest. The shoot
ing. it is claimed was premeditated and

Of the Il. & O. roundhouse, when Powell
appeared with .22 caliber cat gun and

ton was performed. His condition is
critical with little hope of recovery.
The powell lad is a son of Dennis
Powell. The wounded boy is a son of
Mrs. George Fauber. but he lives with his
grandfather, Oliver Beltz. on Elder street.
The bullet entered the abdomen from the
left side and reached the backbone, pene-
rating the largest blood vessel of the
body. Large clots of blood were removed
from the abdomen. The Powell lad says
the shooting was accidental. that he was
shooting at sparrows and that he did not
know Robinette was shot until the Off
GERS came TO place him under arrest. He
said he kept on shooting at a mark after
the bullet that he claims went wild struck
Robinette. although at the time he was
unaware of the stray bullet having struck
the boy. He denies that he had a
quarrel yesterday with the Robinette
boy. The latter makes an entirely diff
ferent statement which in effect is that
