The creamery receives the milk from sixty patrons owning 2000 cows, and in the month of May they received over 40,000 pounds of milk, which was manu- factured either into_ butter or full cream cheese. The factory building is 40x65 feet, 1wo stor 1d basement, the latter having a cement floo The buildings are complete in every way and admirably pted for butter and cheese making. It will be well for dairy- men erecting ne to inspect this one before deciding on plans. They use one large-siz . 1 separator and two No. 2's, thec all of them being 7000 pounds of mil hour, but hey are still short of separator capacity in the the height of the milking season, and will sut in another large one next vear. They have a ten-horse power engine and twenty- Lorse power boiler, but another boiler must be added anotherseason. They have e milk-re ats of 600 gallons each; two cheesevats, same size; one N. tional butter-worker of 250 pounds ]m ty; one power trunk churn, 400 gal- ons, and all the necessary outfitting to manufacture the milk into butter and cheese in fi lass workmanlike manner, and there is no_butter that stands higher in the market for quality or sells for a 1 higher price than Fallon Creamery brand. | They use the Babcock test for both butter and cheese, and credit the milk as tested. During the month of May their daily ontput was 1600 pounds of butter and forty cheese weighing twenty-five pounds each. The butter is rely made into squares, sixty of them weighinga hundred ounds, and is consigned to one of the argest commission-houses in San Fran- cisco. They have also packed considerable butter in spruce tubs for the Los Angeles and Eastern markets, and at the present time have orders ahead for a large amount of butter, The cheese sells readily, and, being full-cream, is in demand at the highest quotation. They have 30,000 pounds of cheese on the shelves, but recent orders will take it all. The sales of butter netted them for the month of May 13 cents a pound at the creamery, whether in squares or solid packed, but at the present time they are getting considerable advance on this price, as butter has ad- vancea in the San Francisco market. The company has_an authorized capital of $20,000, the stock being held by the dairymen in the vicinity of the creame: The directors manage the creamery through Charles C. Williams, superin- tendent and cheesemaker, who learned his trade in Ohio and is a very competent man for the position. The entire plant cost about $12,500, the buildings being erected by day work and the outfitting purchased in" the -open market from different houses.on the coast and in Chicago. The company have never paid any dividend on the stock, but have used the profits to enlarge and increase their eapacity, and as there are dairymen not in the combine who are anxious to patronize them another year the creamery must be again enlarged or skimming stations thrown out to take the milk from another thousand cows. The larger the creamery the less the cost of manufacturing the product, and as the profits of dairying are small, they must watch _every opportunity of increasing those profiis, o go out of the business. This creamery is one of the few in the State which makes a price on the first day of each month for all the milk delivered during that month. This price is based on the San Francisco market, and the direc- tors meet and make the price, which is duly posted on the creamery bulletin, and also based on milk yielding 4 per cent butter fat, Babcock test. During the year 1894 the lowest price paid for milk was 75 cents per 100 and the highest $125; but as butter has sola lower this season the low- est price has been 50 cents for 100 pounds of milk and the highest .price will not probably be over $1 per 100. May and June of this vear they paid 50 cents a hundred; July will probably be 75 cents, and the balance of the year about §1 per 100.. The . gquantity of milk is less in these months, but never less than 9000 ponnds at any time. This price is for all of the milk, the creamery company retaining the separated milk for hogs, unless the patrons purchase it for 5 cents for each ten-gallen can. The company feed their separated milk to hogs, and keep from 300 to 700 hogs on hand at all times. They have just sold 150 at 337 cents per pound on cars at Griffins. ‘Will sell from $5000 to $6000 worth of hogs for 1895, of which one-fifth will be gain or profit for_the company. They purchase them weighing from seventy-five to 100 pounds and sell them when they average from 160 to 170 pounds.. They confess to having made the mistake of locating their hog corral too near the creamery, as no hog should be allowed to live within a half- mile of any creamery. They have an, abandance of good, cold spring water, which is piped about one mile to a cement reservdir, with a twenty- foot fall to the creamery, and claim no creamery can possibly bea’ success unless they have plenty of cold water and good drainage, as it takes about twenty-five pounds of milk to make one pound of but- ter, and the same will make at le: and a half pounds -of cheese. Th pany have done better on cheese, 1s sold less than 6 cents at the creamery, and this would be as good a pound net for butter. The cheese is mar- keted at thirty days old.and the butter is shipped at 4 o’clock every morning and ar- rives in San Francisco and is on sale at the TWAS A BIG SURPRISE, From the Coast and Geodetic Survey.

Judge Murphy Holds Him to Answer the Perjury Charge. Julius Meyer. who has been under ex- amination by Judge Murphy on a charge of perjury, was. held to answer yesterday with bail fixed at $2000. Meyer was charged with giving false answers to ques- tions propounded to him while he was | being examined as to his qualifications to | | serve on_the jury which tried Paulsell for the robbery of "Carroll’s faro bank on Market stree In rendering his cpinion_in the case | Judge Murphy said he had given the mat- ter very careful consideration, and while he thotght there was some merit in the points raised by defendant’s counsel, still the case bad been proved sufficiently to hold the accused for trial.

Until this last | investigation, I thought thet a_majority of them did. I had noticed a close business ¢ nection between the Japanese hotel-kee this City and the proprietors of hotels in Yo hamo gnd Kobe, and [ naturally thought that they were engaged in the businessof import- ing” Japanese laborers. But after a most thorough investigation I must conciude that I was mistaken, and that, except in isolated cases, Japanese laborers come here not under contract, but in response 10 a strong demand for them. In the fruit orchardsand in the heet and hop fields of this State, I ascerteined that a Japanese farm laborer receives fron 70 cents 1o §1 per day wages in this Staie, and finds himself, whereas tne average farm laborer in Japen receives only 40 sen (20 cents) and finds himself. This readily explains why they are | 50 eager to come to California. | The Jnrnnese work under contract with a Japanese boss, who in turn has a contract with the ranch-owner, to harvest a certain number | of tons of beets, acres of hops, or to pic much fruit. The boss agrees to secure ti necessary number of men. If he cannot find them in the community he comes or sends to one of the Japanese boarding-houses, where there are always new arrivals waiting for wor Thus there is not, except in isolated cases, any necessity for the importation of laborers, ipasmuch as the laborer in Japan is morally certain he can secure work in this State, and therefore does not need the stimulus of an agreement to cause him 1o emigrate. However, I secured enough evidence during the investigation to convict one Japanese boss under section 6 of thesct of March 3, 1891, Of this, however, I will write you later. I also secured evidence of the existence in Japan of a company which guarantees laborers desiring to come to this country work for a period of three years. Concerning this com- pany I write Jouin a separate communication of even date herewith. Very respectfully yours, WALTER P. STRADLEY, Commissigner.

The Debris Commission Will Prosecute an Offending Mine-Owner. Two Other Mines Placed on the Suspension List for Delin- . quercies. The California Debris Commission has thrown down the gauntlet to hydraulic miners who have attempted to operate mines without reference to the regulations or regard for the authority of the commis- sion. The commission has determined to prose- cute in the Federal courts the owner of a mine that has been operated without the sanction of the commission and in defiance of the Federal regulations appertaining to hydraulic mining. The owner is L. V. Tefft and his mine, known as the Concordia placer, is located near Cromberg, in Plumas County. The case s considerea at a session of the Commissioners held yesterday. It appears that Tefft some time ago filed on an application to open the Concordia mine near Cromberg, He was directed to build a brush and log dam to prevent the exit of debris, but he | failed to carry out the instructions of the | of the min commission and commenced mining. He was caught twice at work and yester- dav the Commissioners decided to. crimin- 1lv prosecute him in the Federal courts. The case will occasion wide interest among hydraulic miners all over the State for several reasons. * In the first place, per- sous opposed to the resumption of hydrau- | Jic mining have frequently said that the Debris Commission was “formed for no other purpose than to erant applications for the reopening of closed-down mines without regard to the proper manggement . Moreover, the commission has heretofore inflicted mo sorer penalty than the suspension of permits in cases ably to Federal regulations. Now that the commission has decided to | resort to criminal prosecution, it would seem that a radical method will be used to enforce obedience . to - regulations. The | maximum penaity in the case of Tefft is a fine of $5000 or one year’s imprisonment, or in the discretion of the court, both pun- ishments. The punishing hand of the commission has also fallen heavily upon two other well- known vlacer niine owners. The Cleveland mine in Sierra County, owned by James Bean, was ordered placed on the suspension list. Bean secured per- mission to raise a dam near his mine, and subsequently raised it much higher than devotions, and have been_very largely at- | 1 W48 @uthorized to do by the commis- sion. The American House mine was also placed on the suspension list because its owner, W. R. Reed of La Porte, Plumas County, failed to notify the commission of an accident to the impounding works. et David Henriques’ Heirs. The late David Henrigues, the stockbroker, who died suddenly a few weeks ago leaving no Wwill, was not known to have had any relatives. There hes arrived here from New Orleans a nephew, Nathaniel Melhado by name, accom- panied by his attorney, F. B. Thomas, who will put in a claim for the whole estate, valued at some 75,000, on behalf of his mother, who claims to be the only sister of the deceased. They state that for a long time Henriques has been sending remittances to his sister, but that until after his death tney had no idea that he was as well off’ in this world's goods as he was. s e by it T'm All Unstrung, Is the remark of many a nervous individual.
