June, and Peter went north to
New Liskeard, where he hired Red
Meekins to accompany him, and
then continued on into the wilds.
Within two months he had located
three mining claims in Dufferin
township, and wrote to Haskell en-
couragingly. AS the Dufferin claims
simply pop in and out of this story,
having little to do with the Pink
Eye, it would be well to skip all the
depressing days of fruitless endeavor
and take up with Red Meekins'
vivid words as he and Peter sat in
front of their little log shack one
evening in September.
There amt no silver in this God
forsaken corner of the earth, Pete!
It's mooseyard, that's what it isl"
Meekins growled. IF you'd pull
out of this mosquito nest and trail

Elk City, I'd show you somethin'

Peter laughed derisively.

There amt nothin' funny about
minin'," Peter answered solemnly,
except that it's good joke on the
Teller that goes in for it,.
FOR a week Peter pondered over
l Reds yarn. He was like other
oldtime miners, who, no matter how
often they chase a will-o'- the wisp,
are ever ready to follow its Elusive
light. That is really what makes for
discovery. At the end of the wee

Red unconsciously worded the ser

Reds words grated on Peters {

safe salve for his conscience.

Peters eyes, said, 1T was sorter like
that cliff where see the cobalt bloom
I'll scratch around that stone nose in
the mornin'."
TT seemed to Red that Peter was
long time over'his quest for wood.
When he had pounded the plastic
mass of flour and water into some
thing that looked like round dough
medal, he put it into the frypan and
stood the pan on edge against a stone.
Then he gathered some twigs and
birchbark and started fire. As the
resinous bark sizzled and the flames
shot UP, Red cooked his ear toward
the gloomy forest. The metallic click
of steel on rock carried from it's
depths. Guess Pete's prospectin

ltd be a good joke on him if he
dropped onto that silver VEIN"
Presently there was a crashing of
small growth as though bull moose
was charging down the hillside, and
Peter, dragging three long poles of
birch under his arm, emerged from
the woods. He threw the poles clat-
teringly to the ground and, STOPPING
to the birch freight, drew magnify
ing glass from his pocket and critic
ally examined something he held in
his hand.
What you got there, Peter Red
queried
For answer Wright passed the glass
and object of examination over to
Meekins. The latter, after a long,
intent look at the fragment of rock,
sprang to his feet excitedly, crying,
"fBy the jumped up Jimmy Robson.

Meekins was caressing the substance
gently with his fngertips. Suddenly
he exclaimed, Say, there's wire silver
in that" He cut at it eagerly with
his knife, revealing glistening specks
of pure metal looking like pinheads.
1T is silver" he yelled exultantly.
"A knife won't cut no mineral that S

NO NIGHT WORK FOR AUSTRIAN

VIENNA, Austria, June i.-Parlia-
ment has passed a bill prohibiting the
employment of women I'm night work.
This applies TO all establishments en-
ploying more than ten persons. In
order to meet the eXIgencies Of the
season in certain Tines of business,
such as that of dressamkers, night
work will be permitted for forty days
in the year.
While thousands of women are still
outside the scope of the law, the ad-

HEAPS BLAME ON

NEW YORK, June 6.-Charles R.
Heike, secretary of the American Su-
gar Refining Company, was on the
witness stand nearly all day today,
to clear himself of the charge
of conspiracy to defraud the Govern
ment on underweights of sugar.
He continued his denial of any
knowledge of the fraudulent scales or
of the details concerning weighing on
the docks, and sought to prove that

WANT POSTER FOR
FLORAL PARADE

At the meeting of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee held yesterday
afternoon a start was made on the
matter of a poster for the 1911 floral
parade. Messrs. Hoogs and Bush
were appointed a committee to secure
a design and a prize of 500 was au-
thorized for the scheme that might
be accepted The competition will
be open to local and foreign artists
and will be advertised abroad as well
as here. 1t is hoped that a better
design than the one of last year may
be evolved, and it is not anticipated
that the committee will find any trou-
BILE in accomplishing this result.
Mr.. Trent, referring to his recent
trip to London, reported having call
ed at Hawaiian headquarters at both
Atlantic City and Los Angeles. Mr.
Wood was making a great success of
the Atlantic City bazaar, thought Mr..
Trent 1t was one of the leading at
fractions on the board walk and was
undoubtedly of great advertising va
lue. At It's Angeles good work was
also being done. While the regular
Hawaiian headquarters had been clos
ed there, the Peck-Judah Company
was doing good work for the islands
and Mr.. Bidgood, formerly of Waialua,
had opened a Hawaiian bazaar in the
Peck-Judah premises, which had be-
come quite a promotion center.
James L. Mclean resigned from the
office of chairman of the committee
on account of his intention to leave
the islands very soon for a tour of
some length abroad The resigna-
, ton was accepted with expressions of
regret by the other members of the
committee. It is not yet known who
will take up the work in place of the
retiring chairman.
The committee decided to provide
some special recognition of the pre-
sence in this city of General Man
ger Cockroft, of the Oceanic Steam
ship Company.

AMERICA HAWAIIAN
TO OAKLAND DOCKS

OAKLAND, June 6.-The superior
advantages of freight handling, the
subject that all transportation COM
panies give such careful attention,
on the Oakland waterfront is the rea-
son for the American-Hawaiian
Steamship Company closing negotia-
tions for five-year lease of the Oak
land Dock and Warehouse Company
on Saturday. The steamship company
is the largest on the coast, and their
moving from San Francisco to Oak
land is most important part in the
assured commercial future of this side
of this city.
F. ]. Early, manager of the Oak
land warehouse concern, when asked
as to the reason for the moving of
the steamship company to this side of
the bay, said:
ct is the superior facilities for
handling transcontinental freight be-
tween the coast and eastern points
that is the cause for the step TAX
en-. At their dock in San Francisco
the American-Hawaiian Company had
to dray all freight from the dock to
the waiting cars, with the resultant
extra expense and loss of time. From
our docks they can load directly
AI,r 10 he Y,J
this is a big item in the saving Of
money and labor, aIgtt. >. Is
Where shipments bound for Ha.
waiian ports from the east had to be
sent over by the car floats and then
drayed from the cars to the ship wait
ing at the dock, they can now be
loaded directly from the railroad
terminal to the ships. This applies
also to consignments intended for
all eastern points.
I'VE have had several communica
tions of late in regard to securing oul
wharves, but the steamship company
~as the first to make suitable ID
ducements, so it is readily seen thai
they are now the only company to re
alize the advantages offered by the
Oakland waterfront.
Several erroneous statement
have been printed as to the depth o
water during low tide at our docks
1t has been stated that there was onl.
eighteen feet while twenty-five fee
is the correct depth. 1t is to be de
plored that such declarations are scat
tered broadcast by people who do no
take the trouble of verifying the facts
as it tends to discredit the effort
made by interested parties to boos
Oakland.
The steamship company announce
that one of their trans-Pacific boat
will leave from their new docks ever
six days and in connection with thi
service an auxiliary service will
run to Napa river points. Dali
steamers will be run to all points a.
cessible by this river, and freight line
between all points on the Sacrement
and San Joaquin rivers and Oaklan
will be established.
