A RICH MENDICANT.
A San Francisco Woman Who Begs
Though Possessed of $6OO0O

Susan Moore, an aged woman, who
died in miserable hoyel in the North
Beach district, San Francisco, and who
was thought to be a needy woman, had
considerable wealth, according to an aft
davit filed in Judge Graham's court by
the public administrator. The woman
possessed at least 100000. and yet she
begged upon the streets. The woman re-
ceived much money from Catholic char
liable institutions and from the Red
Cross society, yet she had $4,000 on
deposit in local banks and loaned large
sums, including loan which she made
to local Baptist church for rebuilding
purposes. Although it was thought at
the time of her death that she left no
living relatives, the public administrator
declares that many claims to the estate
have arisen and lively contest is ex
pected.

PLATINUM IN SAND.
A Discovery of Importance to Miners
on "the Coast"

Davis T. Day, United States geologi-
cal survey director of government petro-
Ieum work on the Pacific coast, will soon
make a report to the government in
Washington. Mr.. Day also is in charge
Of the research work in connection with
platinum mining on the coast. For sew
aral months he has conducted an investi-
cation of the beach sands from Cape
Flattery to Lompoc. Before leaving Los

the facts concerning the platinum min
ing industry as we have found them are
known. great stimulus will be given
Platinum can be taken from the sands
of the coast in paying quantities by
simple mechanical process at little ex-
pense. While the industry is not likely
to attract the attention of the big cor

BUTCHERS PROFITS.
A Practical Demonstration in Cutting
Up "Critters"

When the venerable James Wilson
secretary of agriculture, in his recent an
nual report, made the statement that the
meat dealers of Chica go-the retailers
were making a gross profit of 46 pei
cent on every carcass of beef that they
sold, laymen opened their eyes in amaze
ment. Practical tests made by master
butchers in st. Louis show that the de-
partment of agriculture slightly under
estimated the gross profit, according TO
John Schofield, secretary of the Master
Butchers of America. In st. Louis re-
Gently number of 50O-pound beeves
were cut by a master butcher, one of the
experts in his line. Every cut was care
fully weighed; the percentage Of the diff
ferent cuts was closely figured Then
the prices at which the different cuts
were sold in Chicago were furnished by
former Aid. Duddleston, himself a mas
ter butcher The computations show that
there was a gross profit of exactly 471a
per cent. to the retailer. Of course, prof
its are materially cut down when ex-
penses are figured in, but the most liberal
figures show, says Mr.. Schofeld, that
there is still profit of Is or 20 per cent.

DISCOVER WHITE PINE.
Timber Cruisers on the Western Slope
of the Olympics.

Alonzo Jergens and a party of timber
cruisers have returned to Seattle with
the news of the discovery of a vast body
Of white pine timber in the high alti-
udes of the western slope of the Olym-
pic mountain range. The timber is re-
puted to be the heaviest in the world,
standing, according to careful estimates,
as much as 100000 feet to the square
nile. OF this the white pine will average
100000 feet. The stand of white pine
IS found above the 1000 feet mark.
Trees of white pine measuring feet
thick and $50 feet high were common,
and thousands of trees containing TO-
BOO feet of lumber were cruised. The
news of this discovery is extremely well
come to the match manufacturers on the
Pacific coast, for the white pine forests
are being rapidly depleted Of the avail
able supply. The newly found great
stand of timber is 200 miles from a rail
road, and in the mountain Businesses.

Bach's Piano.

The museum of Munich has just had
piano of ]. S. Bach, of which the orig
inal figures in the collection of ancient
instruments at Berlin. The piano of
Bach, which had been built according to
his directions for his personal use, is a
veritable masterpiece of keyboard tech
nique. 1t is piano with a double key
board. in which there is for each touch
four strings, which can, at the will of
the executant, play or be silent, as in
the organ. The replica of the Munich
museum reproduces faithfully the So
norous effects of the original, and it is
to be regretted that it had not been
placed where the public could hear
Bach's music just as he played it.-Lon-
