B. C., at 9 o’clock Friday night, with
HO passenger* and a crew of 6fi, struck
the North Reef of Sentinel island at 2
o’clock Saturday morning in dark and
haxy, but not foggy, weather, and in a
smooth sea sank two hours later.
All the paaaengcra and their bag
gage were taken to the lighthouse on
Sentinel island, whence they will be
brought to Juneau by steamer* which
have gone to their relief.
The light
keeper did everything in his power to
make ths- castaway* as comfortable as
possible. None of th* prsaengvr* or
crew was injured.
There waa no panic when the Prin
cess May struck the reef, but the wo
men and children suffered much from
cold in the small Inals, the majority
having left the sinking ship scantily
clad.
Captain McLeod and his « fib ers took
the situation coolly and managed to
grt all the ¡lasaenger* and crew away
from the sinking steamer iiefore she
foundered.
The totals hugged the
shore until daylight, when landings
were made.
In the meantime steamers were sent
from Juneau, where the distress sig

wa* brought about by a confession of a

Jew Loy Sing ia specially accused of

an unknown Chinese for that of Gee

hub -a* corpus proceeding which had
resulted in the admission of K im ; to

Taylor declare* that
substitution has been practiced upon
no less than 300 habeas corpus court

here. In some cases more than one
substitution was made in the same
record until it has become practically
impossible to trace the original.
The Chinese who posed as Gee Jung

of three Chinese as hi* sons and wa*

Inspector Taylor estimated that the

from the use of the substituted papers,

would have paid that sum to land here,
and more were planning to come when
admission was denied to the throe son»
and one daughter.

women, who could not lie sold, $3,500.

Paying Big Profit*.
Stockton, Cal. -— This season many
fortunes will be made by the farmer*
in San Joaquin county and especially
those who put in grain on the rich in
land district west of Stockton. The
barley is running from 30 to 35 sacks
to the acre on thousands of acres,
which means large profits to the grow
ers.
Charles Moreing and Lloyd Woods,
of Stockton, have commenced harvest
ing 13,000 acres of barley on the
islands, and they will secure 365,000
sacks, which at the present market
price will bring them about $400,0001
They are operating five traction cn-
ginaa, drawing immense harvester*
that thresh thousands of sacks daily,
yet it will take quite a time to get all
of the grain ready for the warehouse*.
