RICH CHINESE MINER
REMEMBERS FRIEND

The Los Angeles Herald of the
9th contained a large full-length
portrait of Sam Yet, the well
known Chinese ,prospector and
owner Of several claims in the
Fourth of July region, four miles
east of Search light. In addition ia
tie picture, the Herald contained
the following article concerning
the celebrated Celestial:
Sam Yet, the worlds richest
Chinese miner and one of the
famous character Of the Nevada
gold field, came to Los Angeles this
morning and declared that he
intended to sell his interests and
divide with Sheriff Hammel who
several years ago befriended him
and advanced a small amount Of
money to tide the Chinese miner
over financial difficulties.
Yet is we'll. known to several
mem Eers of the police department
and they declare he is worth $780,
600. The amount advanced by
Sheriff Hammel did not, exceed
$1,000. In speaking of the
Chinese's mines the sheriff declared
he did not know their value. He
said ne hal seen many rich samples
from the mines and they indi Gated
great riches, but beyond that he
declared he is in ignorance.
The Chinese miner won the
sobriquet the lucky Chinese
because of the manner in which
riches fell into this hands. He is
a peculiar character. Although
of the perfect Monaghan type, he
was born in San Francisco an
has very little in common. with
his people. He speaks with a
strong Chinese accent, but very
little Chinese and can't write a
word of it.
When a young man he shipped
as deck hand on sailing vessel,
rounded the cape and landed in
New York. He started across the
continent to the Pacific Coast and
when Butte was reached h. left
the train to see the city. When
he returned to the depot the train
had departed. He purchased
prospector's outfit with the money
he had earned as a deck hand and
struck out into the mountains. He
discovered mine and sold it, he
said, for $4,000.
:. He purchased ranch in Ne.
vada and when the gold strikes
were made he hogan prospecting.
He located several rich claims.
In the r.Ieantime his wife beauti-
full white girl, died. He began
gambling and soon lost the most
OF his money. Then he CHANGED to
meet Sheriff Hammel and the loan

CONDITIONS IN ALLEYS
DISCUSSED AT MEETING
Reports of Improvement AS
ISOLATION Officers Tell of
Reform Work Done.

The Alley Improvement Association held
its fourth annual session yesterday ut
the Shiloh Baptist Church. On L street

GERS and elected officers for the coming
year. The report OF the president, Rev.
DIR. j. Milton Walrdon. showed that dur
ing the last year the association. had
made great strides and had improved the
home conditions of many former residents
of the alleys.
The Rev. DR.. Garner, who for some
time was engaged in taking a census Of
the alleys. urged that the churches In the
District set aside one Sunday In the year
as Alley Sunday at which time the
condition and needs of the alleys might
be set forth and a collection taken to aid
in the Improvement work.
Dr. Elnora c. Folkmar, president Of the
Woman's Clinic, said that the high death
rate among infants In the alleys was due
directly to the insanitary conditions Of
the homes, the entire lack Of knowledge
Of hygiene on the part Of the parents and
the low wages that most alley residents
receive.
Miss Frances S. Crosby Of the Asso-
ciated Charities said that conditions
the form Of government is changed. She
advocated that the ballot be given to
both men and women in the District, so
that residents could remedy conditions on

To show that the church would not

forms of amusement the resolution re-

vices" the following:

cost Of living and the salaries paid in
many parts Of the country.
Another Recommendation to limit to
FIVE years the time any minister shall re-
main in a given charge. also was ex-
pected to develop opposition. Opinion ap-
peared equally divided as to whether the
proposal would pass the conference.
