PROMINENT CHlNAMEN ALONG
CALIFORNIA COAST GET
PUT In JAIL.
full After Long Chase-Prisoners
Said to Be Leaders of Syndicate for
Bringing Orientals Into Country
End of Conspiracy Is Predicted.

Los Angeles, Jan. 16.-The arrest of
four Chinese, all said to be wealthy
merchants of San Francisco and Los
Angeles, who are now held in Jail here,
is believed to mark the end of a SNUG
Cling conspiracy which has worried the
immigration authorities for the last six
months and resulted in the redoubling
of the government border guards and
even the employment of special reve-
nue. police cutter.
The men under arrest are Wong Chun
and Wong Wing Sal, former influential
merchants of the Los Angeles Chinese
colony, and Woo Wei and Mai Jick of
San Francisco. These men are said to
be the leaders of syndicate that has
Struggled hundreds of Chinese into this
country. Wong Chun and Wong Wing
Sal were taken last night by Charles
Conklin, an inspector of the immigra-
ton bureau at San Diego, who had fol
lowed them and band of contraband
celestials from Ensenada to the Te-
hachapi, a. chase that occupied him
more than 40 days.
Take Contraband Chinese.
With them were captured four con-
traband Chinese, who are also in Jail
awaiting deportation, which was or
dered by United States Commissioner
Williams today. The alleged leaders
are held under $4,000 bail.
The tip that led to the arrest Of
Wong Chun and Wong Wing Sal was
given Conklin early last November by
an intoxicated Mexican, who had long
acted as guide for the contraband
Chinese which the smuggling syndicate
is alleged to have routed over the Gun
derground railway" leading through
San Diego and later through San Ber-
nardino.
Guide Tells of Smuggling.
This guide told the immigration au-
thorities of band in charge of the al
legged merchants who were soon to start
from Ensenada for the border. Conklin
was detached from the San Diego of
fee, but when he arrived at Ensenada
he found that the Chinese had disap-
peared. With party of several In
dams and the Mexican guide the in
spector took the trail and almost came
upon the fugitives at San Bernardino
There he. learned that the Chinese had
taken separate trains for the north
Conklin took a faster train and cap
tured Wong Chun and two contrabands
at Mojave. Then he hurried on to Te-
hachapi and overlook Wong Wing Sal
and the other two.
The federal authorities at first de-
MED that any arrests had been made.
The attempt at secrecy was excused
on the ground that efforts were being
made to capture other suspected mem
bers of the smuggling syndicate in San
Francisco and San Diego.

Beginnings of Production.

The United States census report for
1860 contains the first record of coal
production in Washington. This coal
was taken entirely from the Belling-
ham Bay properties, in Whatcom
county, and amounted to 1914 tons.
The state did not assume much inn
portance as coal producer, however,
until the opening of the Green River
field, in King county, between 1880
and 1888, and of the Roslyn mines,

ducing about the same time.

SAYS OIL
IS THERE
Sulphur Springs Oil Field
To Be Worked Again.
G. w. Hill, Expert Oil Man,
Says Oil is There.
The St. Tammany Oil Go.
Will Sink a Well.
Confidence Expressed in Sue
cess Of Undertaking.

Several Oil wells have been sunk
in st. Tammany parish. and while
DGicasions CT ill haze always teen
good, none of them have been car
lied down to the depth that would
give absolute certainty as to the
existence of oil. Lack of funds has
teen the main cause of these wells
being abandoned. None of the wells,
however; have created the confidence
that existed and still exists In the
Sulphur Springs well, which was
abandoned after the pipe had been
broken off in the ground, although
effort was made to dig down 10 the
broken joint and patch it up. The
excavation that was made by this
digging is still there, with the broken
pipe in the center, filed with mud
and water, and 1t has been common
practice for people to amuse them
selves by poking sticks into the mud
dy bottom in order to see the gas
bubble up through the water, or set
match to it and see it burn. This
gas burns with blue flame, showing
that it is not marsh gas, but the
genuine article. There comes up
with the gas small quantities of oil
that have also attracted attention,
and DR.. B. B. Warren subjected il
to the test that never fails In dis
| covering crude petroleum. When
placed with ether it colors the ether
Coal oil will not do this; neither will
any other oil. This establishes be-
ycnd doubt that petroleum is there.
The quantity remains to be seen.
G. w. Hill, an oil expert, has been
consulted, and SO positive is he that
oil will be found in paying quantities
that he has interested himself in
promoting company, which will
be known as the st. Tammany Oil
Company. Already some of our
largest merchants and businessmen
have subscribed money to the under
taking, and 1t looks as If Sulphur
Springs would soon again be the
busy scene of oil drilling.
Mr.. Hill says that he has never
undertaken the financing of an oil
proposition and failed. He says the
we'll will be put down and properly
put down, and he has no doubt of
the result.
Indications have been so good for
oil in st. Tammany parish that con-
idence in its existence has been ex-
pressed by most oil men who have
visited the various wells, and it is
to be hoped that this time thor
ough test will be made and that the
well will be sunk to a depth that
will leave no doubt as to whether
L there is or ia not off In having 0uau-
titles. for certain 1t is that there is
both gas and oil in some quantity.
The old well is shrouded in mys-
terry. Various stories go the rounds
that it was purposely strangleG. Be
this as it may, the new well will tell
the tale.

revenue from this source vast $10,-

that strangers could more readily

Mr.. Wurzlow said that while walk

with crumbling and cracked walls
and had asked what it was. He was
surprised at being Informed that 1t
