STEAMER STJXOL BURXED. Captain Green, Formerly of the State, Ha a. Very Ifarrovr Escape. The little coasting steamer Sunol, which has made several trips to Portland, was totally destroyed by fire at Little River, CaL, Tuesday morning. The steamer was In command of Captain Green, formerly of the State of California. The steamer -was lying in the harbor at Little River at the time, and an explosion of a lamp in the -cook's galley at 2 A. M. was the cause of her -wreck. The burning oil scat tered In every direction, and aulckly lg alted everything within Its reach, spread ing so Tapldly that the crew was power less to do anything toward extinguishing the flames. They were forced to abandon the vessel and seek a plac& of safety. Immediately after the explosion, Cap tain Green was called, and when he came out of his room the flames were shooting up In all directions, and he was obliged to jumpto the lower dock to save himself. iHe was considerably Injured from the leap, and is now going around on crutches. The hull of the steamer was beached at daylight, but In the absence of flre-flght-4ng facilities she became a total loss. She was uninsured, and was owned by C A. Hopper & Co., of San Ffcancisco. With the exception of the injury to the captain, the crew were uninjured. Eight men were on board the steamer when she caught Are. The Sunol was bound from Eureka to Ban Francisco, with a cargo of lumber. She had been engaged In the coast lumber trade for several years. The steamer Sunol was built In San Francisco in ISSOt She had a gross tonnage of 294.50; length, 135 feet; breadth, 27.5 feet. STATE'S LAST TRIP.

Ship Nine Year Old Sold for More Than Original Cost. LIVERPOOL, Oct. 25. The sale just made by J. TL Haws & Co., of Liverpool, through Kellcck & Co., of the sailing ves sel Alcedo, to R. M. Sloman, of Hamburg, provides a most striking Illustration of the good prices Tvhich are at present ruling for second-hand tonnage. The vessel was built nine years ago for 22,000, and the price paid by her new owners was 25,000. Haws & Co., who are substltut s lng steam for their sail tonnage, have therefore, after having had the use of the Alcedo for nine years, sold her for an amount which will, when the cost of transfer, commission, etc., is deducted irom. the gross price realized, slightly ex ceed the original price. This is the fifth large sailing ship recently sold at the great rise in prices. ORIENTAL FREIGHT COMIJfG. fTacoma Profiting by Abandonment of Portland Line. Some time ago it .was given out that the O. R. & N. -Co. was to put on a line of steamers to China and Japan, to take the place of the Dodwell line. So far this line has failed to materialize, and there eeom but light prospects that it ever wllL .Jn the meantime Asiatic goods and mer chandise continue to arrive on the steam ers coming to Tacoma, and no less than $7 shipments by the Glenogle were entered at the -Custom-House here yesterday. The various flour exporters here pick up steamships as they want them, and there "Will be steamers leaving here for Japan and China constantly, but It needs agencies of an organized company on the other side to secure freight for return, cargoes.

HEALTH IN HAVANA. Colonel Black Says There Is No Dan ger of Serious Fever Outbreak. WASHINGTON, Oct 25. Colonel Will iam M. Black, the Chief of Engineers on General Wood's staff, has arrived In Washington on a brief leave of absence from Havana. He has been steadily at work at the Cuban capital since the be ginning of the American occupation of the Island, having planned most of the ex tensive system of sanitation and engineer ing works which have been established in Havana and vicinity, and also having executed the projects conceived by General Ludlow and General Brooke in earlier days of the occupation. Colonel Black, has been charged with the supervisory Inspection of the vast plans for the Installation of sewerage sys tem in Havana. It Is expected that work will begin on this undertaking next month. He is satisfied that there Is no real basis for the apprehension which prevails in some quarters as to a formid able outbreak of yellow fever In Havana In consequence of the tearing up of its streets as an Incident to the construction of sewers. By careful attention and ob servance of severe sanitary measures, Col onel Black found It possible to carry for ward' all of his own work without any disastrous results to tho health of the community, and he is satisfied that by following the same plan the larger un dertakings also can be effected without the anticipated outbreak of yellow fever. Colonol Black states positively that up to date not one case of fever has been traced to any of the operations conduct ed by the engineer department. Republican Rally at Chehalis. CHBHALTS.

A free and brave people will always support the Administration or the government that has conducted a victori ous foreign war. This has always been the case In the past, and until human nature changes will continue In the fu ture, A distinctive, positive policy Is what is wanted for political success. Mere negative Issues have no attraction for the average voter. t ' Struck by Stray Bullet. THE DALLES, Oct 25.

Operations Will Be Furthered by Company of Washington Capitalists. BAKER CITY, Or., Oct. 25. Operations In the old Sanger mine, located 25 miles northeast of Baker City, will be resumed' Immediately. Saturday the property passed into the hands of a new manage ment Already preparations are being made to pump the water from the lower levels, preparatory to the commencement of work on a large scale. The Sanger Is one of the oldest mines in the Eastern Oregon gold region, and lias been one of the best producers. Conservative esti mates place its output of gold as more than $1,000,000. 'For the last few years It has not been operated, owing largely to conditions resulting from the death of one of the owners. A report has been circulated throughout this region that the mine was sold to the new management for $100,000. Such Is not the case. J. K. Romlg, superintendent and manager of the new company, was in Baker City this week, and stated that a two years' lease has been obtained, with the option of purchase at the expiration of that period. This is far from a sale, although the contract may result In tho new company ultimately acquiring the mine. . The Sanger property; was located in 1605, It has a 300-foot shaft', and approximately 2 miles of tunnels. At present all tho lower levels are filled with water to a considerable depth. The first work will bo drawing this off. When that Is done, It will be possible to determine the amount of repairs necessary to get the mine ready for removing ore. A 10-stamp mill Is on the property, also a good hoist at the shaft and a full equipment of ma chinery. The machinery Is reported to bo In good condition, as during the period of idleress It has been well cared for, and was never wracked by reckless usage. The mine always yielded a good milling ore. that was easily handled. Its long Idleness gave rise to the usual rumors that the ledge pinched out before opera tions were suspended. Experienced min ing men here have never taken any stock In the report, and the fact that a com pany of Western men has been organized to handle the property at a considerable cost Is sufficient proof that the Sanger commands the confidence of experts. In Eastern Oregon the fact that a mine or property has been turned down more than once Is little evidence of its ultimate, val ue. Tho Red Boy was turned down more than once. The Virtue was often opened and closed, both making and breaking operators. And so It has been with other splendid properties that have at different periods yielded magnificent dividends. The Sanger was owned by three part ners. One died, another has reached the age of 90 years, and the third is the estate of a Mr. Bradley, a rich boot and shoe man of Milwaukee, Wis. There being no active head to control and push work, opeiatlons were stopped. The mine has been held by a trust company of Mll wukee for the heirs, and It was from this company that the lease was obtained. The new company Is composed of Wash ington men. F. W. Paine, of Walla Walla, Is president; Dr. John Bingham, of Walla Walla, vice-president; W. B. Moore, son of ex-Governor Moore, of Washington, secrebary, and J. K. Romlg, well known in this region, is superintend ent and manager. Last Saturday Mr. Romlg took possession, and ho is now actively engaged In getting ready for work. The figure the company paid for the option to purchase Is not made public. It has been reported to be ?1CO,000, but conservative men believe this sum Is sev eral thousand dollars higher than the real price determined upon, should the mine change hands at the end of two years. Sale of the Sanger, and the remunerat ive work being done in the Gem, in the Sparta district, is directing attention to that section lying northeast of Baker City. F. J. Perkins, recently made a second payment at the First National Bank, of this city, to persons holding In escrow a deed to the Gem. Little Is said by Mr. Perkins concerning the Gem, but pay ments speak the loudest to business men. Other properties In the Sparta district have recently been brought before the public, and serious consideration Is being given by capital to the development work and prospects thereabouts.
