The experiment cost him Lis life, for he died to-day after suf- fering extreme pain for three:days. Hertert Coffin, a fellow clerk with Per- reau in the office of 8. M. Dodge & Co., saw him swallow the nails. Coffin says his attention was at- tracted on the afternoon of September 17 last to the acts of Perreau, who took four six-penny nails from the drawer of his desk and swallowed them. Perreau told him then that he was experimenting tc demonstrate that nails could be di- gested. That same evening Coffin and Perreau @ il i rielebiee el @ | Tent Work s proceeding at the California roy of the provinces of Kwang Tung and s OAKLAND BOY WHO SWALLOW- ED NAILS AS AN EXPERIMENT ‘AND DIED IN AGONY. £ A ke L ond a friend were in company when the subject was revived. Perreau insisted then on going to the office, where he swallowed two more six-penny nails, making six altogether for that ‘daf. ‘“Lee never complained after swallowing the nails,” said Coffin to-day, “and I was beginning to think that his experiment was successful. He told me that he had frequently swallowed nails, but I only saw him swallow six.. “Lee worked up to Monday night and on Tuesday his mother ¢old us he would | be unable to return to the office for a few days. 1 called on him, but he did not seem to be very sick. I was greatly sur- prised when I heard of his death.” Ferreau did not tell his parents that he had swallowed the nails. His reason ap- parently was a consclentious regard for his invalid mother, whom he did ‘mot want to alarm. Even his father was kept in ignorance of the cause of his illness until Thursday. FPerreau forbade any one to tell his parents and suffered the severest agonies without wincing. The unfortunate boy’s mother says he suffered with his stomach about three weeks ago, but that after two days the trouble seemed to have ceased. A recur- rence of the internal disturbances began last Monday and his cohdition became sv alarming that he explained the cause of his illness to Dr..H. Rozas, the family physician. In spite of heroic treatment yuung ‘Perreau rapidly became worse and tlis morning he died. *. Lee Perreau had literary ambitions and a bent for short:story ‘writing. He was a student at the Cole and Lincoln schools ‘and had a host of friends among the sti- dents. He was born in Oakiand sixteen years ago.

In all directions the work of prepara- tions for mining on a large scale is going on. New dredgers are a feature of the time. Three new machines to dredge for gold are in construction near Oroville, which is the center of the largest dredger mining enterprises in the State. The work that is procéeding at the Oneida mine in Amador County attracts much attention by reason of the fact that the faine will soon have 100 stamps in oper- ation. Claims are belng relocated in sev- eral ccuntlex. Prospecting for copper contirues quite extensively. Large operations are indicated by the sunual report of ‘the president of the North Star Mining Company. Between Junuary 1 and September 1 of the pres- cnt year there were mined from a newly Geveloped ore body in this Nevada Coun- tyv projerty 3678 tons of ore, yielding about $126,000, at a cost for all operating and developing expenses of $40,000. .A correspondent: writes concerning the properties at Bully Hill that a consoli- dation has beén effected between the Mount Shasta Gold Mines Corporation J. R. de Lamar. According to the corre- spondent De Lamar turns in the copper properties and smelter at Bully Hill, his copper properties at Copper City and his Gold Mountain, gold mines, ) which are situated in San Bernardino County. The original Mount Shasta company brings into the comdination the copper properties | at Bully Hill known as the McClure and Michigan groups and also its gold mine prcperties known ‘as the Mount Shasta mines The smelting capacity of the plant at Bully Hill will be increased to 500 tons yer day. The entire propertiés of the con- solidation aggregate 4000 acres of mineral land, besides town sites and water rights and several thousand acres of timber land.

The Placerville ‘Nugget says that the approach of winter has caused quite a revival of mining interest in many prop- erties in the vicinity of Webber Creek, El Dorado County. The Rustler Mining Company is clearing out and repairing the Ef Dorado ditch. The same company bhas bonded the Mammoth quartz mine | and is driving a tunnel on the ledge. The company that ‘recéntly bonded the Jas- per mine is building a dam on Webber Creek and repairing the ditch leading to the mine. A new five-stamp mill for the Crystal mine, two miles south of Shingle Springs, is nearly completed. Sixty men are employed at the Vandalia mine, three | miles south of Shingle Springs.

Judge Greene Obj&ots to Scandalous Statement of Defendant. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 10. Because Alfred C. Scott, on the witness stand in Judge Greene’s court to-day, de- clared that he was waiting for his mother- in-law to die, the court scored him in lan- guage much more forceful than compli- mentary. Relative to Scott's declaration, Judge Greene said: Your conduct on the stand is absolutely scandalous. 1 think that a man whe would make such a statement {5 unworthy of bellef and is totally unfit to be a hunmband. You not only insult your wife but your children. It is the order of the court that you do mot visit your children during the pendency of this sult. Scott is being sued for divoree by his wife, Mrs. Genevieve Scott, on the ground’ of extreme cruelty. Immediately after stating he was. walting for the funeral of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Amelia Chad- bourne, to be held, the lady against whom stand apd testifled as to how the husband had provided for his wife and children. Upon hearing the testimony Judge Greene ordered Scott to pay 325 per month all- mony during the pendency of the divorce | suit. Native Sons’ Memorial Service.

Spurning food and medical assistance, Hiram Surphlls, who was found starving iz a windswept hut on the eastern shore of Lake Merritt a week ago, died this morning at the Recelving Hospital. The aged recalcitrant prayed on his deathhed for the return of his son, who, he de- clared, “was the only one from whose hands he would accept aid, but he passed away denied theé boon of once more see- ing his offspring. That of Hiram Surphlis is & strange case. For years he was'a familiar char- acter around East Oakland. Suddenly he disappeared, and one.day he was found in a miserable, windowless, doorless hut on the lake shore, his only companions, two horses, and himself starving. He raged when he was offered food; he raged when taking him to the County In- firmary was suggested; so he was al- lcwed to lie in squalor. Afterward he ccnsented to eat féod that Supervisor Rowe sent‘him, but his condition became very bad two days ago and he was forci- bly taken to the hospital, where he again refused to eat and finally starved to death. The old man had a son, but he was un- able to care for his father and never vis- ited . him. Surphlis was 65 years of age. Painter ‘Shoots Himself. ———— Sailor Is Held for Robbery. . Los Angeles—H.
