(Journal Special Service.l
KKN FRANCISCX), Aug. 1. Despite the
many unsuccessful efforts to raise the
Iteamship Rio de Janeiro. John A. Bow
ser ot Columbus, O., has brought here a
new device for exploring the depths of
the sea. an indention of C. D. Myers, and
recently tested in Lake Huron.
The Rio was sunk two years ago In
the mouth of of Ban Francisco bay. She
. Was a Pacific mail liner, and with her
cargo worth several millions.
' Bowyer. says the apparatus he has
brought is designed to operate In the
deep sea to the depth of 1200 feet. It is
Supplied with an electric searchlight,
with which, it is said, tho operator in
1-tke Huron was able to see more than
half a mile through the water.
The operator has freedom of motion in
a space of twenty feet square, plenty of
fresh air, is free from pressure, and in
communication with the surface by tele
phone. A diver remained under water in Lake
Huron two hours and a half without
Inconvenience. The upper part of the
machine is a chamber calculated to wh-
stand 2500 pounds pressure. It will float,
having a displacement of 4500 pound!) and
"weighing; about 8000 pounds. The lower
part is a-, detachable base of nearly sol
id metal, which acts as as a sinker, ov
ercoming the buoyancy of the top.
A mechanical arm is arranged on one
aide of the machine of such delicate
up with It an object as small as a lea
pencil, as well as hitch and lift Its
weight of 800 pounds. The principal use
of this arm is to make attachments of
grapples with which to lift heavier bod
les.

: sea bottom, only the man will be Inside

WASHINTON, Aug. 1. "The days of
booms and wildcat methods in the oil
business at Beaumont have passed and
we have settled down to a solid business
basis," said D. O. Lively, a prominent
citizen of the great gusher town, now at
the Rlggs.
"People of means from all over the
Union, are coming Into Beaumont on
every train, and the present condition of
the town, as well as its future pros
pects, Is highly satisfactory. Last month
1.250,000 barrels of oil were snipped out,
and each month sees an Increase of
shipments. The oil is now selling at
from 18 to 25 cents a barrel at the wells.
but inside of a year there is good reason
to believe thjit it will reach $1.
"A great deal of money Is being put In
to refineries. One company in which
John W. Gates is interested is construct
ing a large number of tanks and a re
finery to handle 8000 to 10,000 barrels a
day. Mr, Ouffy's company has a 10,000
barrel refinery and a mammoth one, said
to be the property of the Standard Oil
Company, will, when completed, have a
capacity of 35,000 barrels.
"Ex-Senator Towne of Minnesota will
always be glad of the day he connected
with Beaumont oil, for when he first
came on ihe scene he was a very poor
man, while now he is able to own a seat
on the Neyjt..York stock exchange. His
company will have a big refinery under
way In a very short time. "
"Do the wells show any signs of di
minishing supply?"
"Naturally the pressure is not so strong
as at the outset, but this Is no cause of
alarm. A diminution in the flow 4s the
history of all oil fields. The superabun
dance of oil as it originally came from
the gushers means a very low price, and
the owners would much prefer to pump
It at a higher figure."

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. l.-Chlet
Isaac, the Powhatan of the Moosehlde
Indians of the Yukon country, who Is

lionized since his arrival here by the
way of Seattle and is attracting soma
attention by his discussion of mining op

Isaac says that gold may help the
white man, but that It has worked in
calculable damage to his people. He,
says that while they may have been

have been demoralized by the actions ot
the class of women who first Invaded the
north With dance hall mariners and Im
morality.
"While we have met many noble white
men," he says, "there are thousands of
others who are tilled with base Ingrati
tude. White men 8 re almost all sel
fish. Many of them are dishonest. Our
women are degraded and our old pur
suits gone and the game Is no more. We
do not know how to live in other nnd

WASHINGTON. D. C, Aug. 1. The
opening of the bids at the Postofflce De
partment today for the printing of post
age stamps marks the beginning of the
end of the Government's coatiy experi
ment of printing its own stamps. For
many years arid up to eight years ago
the stamps were printed by private con
tract, the work being done by a well-
known engraving company of New
York. For some reason or other the
Government decided that the work could
be better and more cheaply done in the
big Government printing office in Wash
ington and finally the contract was tak
en away from the New York firm. The
first stamps turned out by the Govern
ment printing office were rank failures,
as the business publlo wi ll rememoers.
The color lacked a Btaytug quality and
the gum likewise was pronounced im
pure and of a low grade. After awhile,
however, the Government printers got
their hand In and of late years there has
been little complaint regarding the
stamps. But it is now found that the
work is costing too much and that the
private Arms can do it for less. The Bu
reau of Engraving and Printing nas
turned out five billions of stamps In eight
years, and during the lust year alone it
is estimated that the bureau lost
000 on the Job. The explanation given is
that the private concerns can do the
work cheaper because they do not have
to pay their employes the same wages
thut are paid by the bureau, and give
them all thirty days' leave on full pay
annually.
