A Valuable Find,
Mr. W. E. Devereiix, of Grinbaum
&Co.' who was visiting east Maui last
week, accidently uueat'thfad a very
valuable find.
He was travelling on horseback
from liana to Kipahula, and his horse
left the main trail and was travelling
along a by-path, when it stumbled
and came near falling into a hole, the
mouth of which had been covered. As
the hole presented a jome what 'sin
gular appearance, Mr. Devereux dis
mounted and proceeded to examine
it. It was an artificial hole, and peer
ing into it he discovered a larye
number, nearly a dozen, ancient cal
abashes and fragments of tapa cloth
which had evidently been hidden
there many years ago, perhaps with
,he bones of a dead chief. The cal
abashes were of koa wood, and were
in a good state of preservation. At
the present prices of calabashes,
they are estimated to be worth sev-
erai nunareci aoiiars. wr, uevereux
took them to Honolulu with him and
will have them polished.

Dn Monday morning at about 4:30
a hre occurea at (Jatnp d fump,
Kihei, the wooden building euclosiug
the pump machinery being burned
to the ground. The small wooden oil
tank standing near also collapsed
and the pil caught fire from the heat
of the burning building, s The hoist
engine, dynamo and other minor
machinery in the building were des
troyed, but the large boilers and
srnoke stack escaped without mate
rial damage. It is not known what
the extent of the damage is in the
shaft because as soon after the fire
as thu mouth of the shaft could be
reached, it was covered with boards,
over which dirt was heaped to the
depth ot three or four feet, effectual
ly shutting out the air. The shaft
will bo left covered until it is certain
that the fire, if there is any in the
shaft is entirely smothered.
There was no one except the Japan
ese fireman about the premises when
the firo broke out. Only one boiler
was in use, being the one winch sup
plied steam to run the hoisting ma
chinery, This Japanese has been
running the oil burner ever since it
was. installed, and was specially
trained for the work. Tils ex plana
tion of the aff lir is that when he ig
uited the flames in the oil burner, the
blaze Kept putting out into the room
and iurnited the paper lining of the
wall of the outer building, which be

Nev Sugar Process.

New Orleans, Jan. 3. Thomas
Wommack, a prominent planter of
East Baton Rouge, has discovered a
new process of making sugar which
promises to revolutionize the industry
in Louisiana. Mr. Wommack declines
to divulge the secret until a patent
is received but says he converts his
whole product from ordinary syrup
into sugar with only a small por
centage of residue in the shaps of a
black glucose with scarcely a trace
of sucrose and as hard as a bt ick. He
brought samples of the residue to the
Sugar Exchange for chemical exam
ihation as evidence of the success of
the discovery. Every pound of sugar
made by him this season was clear

Chinese laborers to the Islands would
be a menace to white labor. The
