STEADY FLOW TO SEW LAND
Tarmen of Victoria Are Leaving
High Priced Holdings.
THUSH ON TO NEW SOUTH WALES
Jlrportatloa of Kanakas to lalaada
Adjacent to AnMralia haa
Lrft 8ar I.aada With,
oat Mrn.
STPNKY. July 30. (SpclHt.) For soma
months lutely there has been a steady out
How of the agricultural population of
. Victoria. Farmers are giving up their
holdings and are eeekliiff new lands and
,fcew homes in New souui ales anu
Queensland. And most of these farmers
hid been settled for years In the beat
. parts of the state, which they are leuvlnx.
' It Is no uncommon thing to read In the
oewspapera of . fifty or sixty departures
, dully or even more.
Suverol reasons are assigned for this
migration One Is the hljch price of land
In Victoria as compared with that of New
South Wales and Queensland, the high
Valuations put upon the land representing
ttue high rates of taxation for Irrigation
And other purposes and the fact thut most
lot the best land had been sold by the gov
lommant so that the young- farmers have
! tittle chance for securing suitable country
i for agricultural purposes or for grating.
1 Thiers la yet another reason, which ac
counts for many of the departures.
. Farmers who are now getting along In
years have owned farms consisting of some
f the best land In the state referred to
they have prospered and have saved money.
Vhty can sell their lands and at good
prkwa and they are doing so. They say
' that they want greater areas of country so
that their children may found homes for
'.themselves and for their families.
Lanf Cfceap In Hew "oath Walea.
Now the amount they receive for their
JWtortan properties will enable them to
yurcnase twice as murn i.u i ciuum
Wales and three times as much In Queens
land as they could buy In Victoria. Ill
VHh states the purchasing term are very
fftsral, and Ue areas from which a man
rSSiA aunt t practically vJIUmltauls.
Hence they first send out a few people to
spy out the land and report thereon. The
distance they have It should be remem
bered Is from 1,600 to 2.0)0 miles, often an
emigration as distant as that which
marked the flow of the tides of population
from the eastern part of the United States
to the western half a few years ago. If
the reports are favorable they 'sell and
go." And si it happens that many who
have had to rough It for many years and
who have Just succeeded In getting their
farms whipped Into shape are letting them
go. It Is safe to say that many of these
people are making a mistake, for distance
always makes the prospect more entranc
ing. Victoria has the finest climate of
any state In Australia, Queensland, where
most of the farmers appear to be going,
having the worst. When fine seasons are
experienced all goes well, but the Ion
droughts (the last continued for seven
years) results In terrible sufferings for
man and beast. Then again manv of the
settlers will lie hundreds of miles away
from the railways and often they will bt
obliged to suffer for the comforts as well
as the luxuries of life. Many there are
who predict that in the event of a long
continued dry spell It will nt be many
years before tliey return to their old
homes.
Kanakas Itelnn Deported.
What seems to be a very serious state
of affairs Is threatening the suirar cann
plantations. In order that the people may
be assured of a "white Australia" the fed
eral government some time ago decreed
that the Kanakas must be deported. These
Kanakas are natives of the various Islands
of the Pacific adjacent to Australia, who
have for many years been working on
the sugar plantations. Borne of these peo
ple are married and according to all re
ports have become good Christiana, have
settled homes, and are acknowledged to be
good cltlsens and their labor Is needed In
the development of the country, but the
government makes no exceptions, and all
must go. Home 4,0n0 have already been re
turned to the Islands from whence they
came and at least LbO more must go before
the end of the year. After living the
greater part of their Uvea among the
whites whose ways they have learned to
love and to admire they are teing sent
off to do the best they can among semi
barbarians. But few details have bevn
allowed to leak out as to how the business
of removal haa been carried on. but It is
known that some have even been landed
on the wrong Islands and that in all casus
there apepara to be a general disposition
to return to old and savage habits of
fife and give up their elvilized ways. The
suggestion has been made that their Chris
tianity could have been only skin deep at
best, but against that must be set the
fact that the forced removal has come to
many of them with all of the nature of
u hard blow. Then, too, here In Australia,
as elsewhere, there are white men who ar
not very particular as to how they treat
"niggers." There used to be a good deal of
"blackblrdlng" In the Islands some years
ago. And the difficulty with the pro
prietors of the plantations now appears to
be the securing of labor In the pluce of
the Kanakas. It Is admitted that the cane
country Is no place for a white man to
work.
Mo Work (or White Men.
A whltj? man may, of course, superintend
the labor 'of a Kanaka, though this has
never been regarded as a particularly
pleasant task, but when It comes to the
actual work of the handling of the cane
Itself It Is very doubtful whether a white
man really can do the work under the con
ditions presented. The sugar cane peoplu
have advertised all over Australia for
workers and, though they offer good wages,
there have been practically no responses to
their advertisements. Now tliey have
agents In England, France, Austria and
Italy on the alert for suitable tnen. with
Instructions to head oft some of the re
markable stream of emigration which Is
I aiu iu wc iiuwiui in uie aireciion oi tne
United States, but for various reasons they
i have not been successful. The opinion of
practical men, openly, stated, is that the
sugar Industry here can be worked only
with colored labor and that this Is the be
ginning and the end of the argument. And
now that the colored labor Is prohibited,
the outlook for the sugar Industry Is nat
urally very gloomy, especially for the com
ing season.

WIPE OUT MINING SWINDLES
Federal Government Alone Has the
Needed Power.
VIEWS OF AN OLD DETECTIVE
I'ostottlce Authorities Handicapped
by Lack of Men to Do the
Work Safer Than Green
Goods Game.
"The green goods game and the wiretap
ping game have become a little "bit worn
out," said an old detective to a Bee re
porter. "Just now Its the mining game
that the authorities are up against, and you
can take It from me that they are up
aainal It good and hurd."
The detective has made a reputation for
lilnibelf working for the United States gov
ernment and did more to stamp out the
green goods fame than almost any one else
in the buslnebs. What he said about the
mining game Is echoed by almost every one
whose business It Is to protect the public
from the man with the misleading pros
pectus and a supply of nicely lithographed
stock certlticates.
To people who have put their money Into
the hands of the man with the pretty pros
pectus only to hear no more from It or the
mine It may seem a little strange that the
authorities, federal and local, have not
stepped In and tried to stop the stream of
cash that has flowed from the pockets of
the people of this country Into the hands
of Borne of these untcrupuloua mining pro
moters. There are several reasons why they
haven't. In the first place, according to
those who ought to know, there la no run
ning down a fake mining concern selling In
one corner of the contlnnent stock In a
mine supposed to be In another corner 3.0 0
miles away. It takes thousunds of dollars,
months of time aiul a man specially
equipped for this kind of work, a man with
brains and Ingenuity possessed by few
detectives even among those employed by
the government.
Another reason Is that the laws of the
states are at fault in not putting restric
tions around the companies they create.
In a few cases where such swindlers have
been exposed and the swindlers convicted
the punishment has been light as compared
with the outlay necessary to secure conviction.
One Tase in I'olnt.
Some yeats ago, before the discoveries in
Nevado and elsewhere that have given such
an Impetus to the promotion of mining com
panies, legitimate and Illegitimate, the gov
ernment did get after one man who had
launched a mining company up In the
northwest and was selling stock to the
public by the burrel. The company wan
not only advertising by pages In the news
papers of the country, but Is was sending
all sorts of literature through the malls.
One of the best postohiee Inspectors In
the employ of the government wag at tha,t
time stationed In Chicago. He was put on
the case and told to flndt out whether the
government had any rt;ht to Issue a fraud
order and arrest the promoters. The mine
was In a region almost inaccessible. It took
this detective almost one whole year before
he had discovered enough evidence upon
which to make an arrest. In that time
he had traveled hundreds of miles on horse
back and on foot, had engaged experts and
looked up miners. He finally found that
the company had been organised and had
sold stock before It had any mine or min
ing claim and that a few hundred dollars
of the proceeds of the sale of stock had
afterward gone to secure an option on a
claim pronounced to be worthless. That
was all there was to the $1 ono.OuO mining
company whose stock had been distributed
braadcast. The Investigation cost the gov
ernment 11,700 and the chief promoter got
Just two years In JalL
fostofflee Inspectors Help.
Now and then the postofflce Inspectors
do step in and a mining company goes up
the spout. In nine cases out of ten the In
vestigation preceding this action by the
postottlce authorities hat taken many
months, and by the time the proper evi
dence is secured much stock has been sold.
Not until they hear of the action taken by
the inspectors In stopping the mall and
arresting the promoters do the people who
have bought this stock and parted with
their savings wake up to the fart that
they have been deceived.
Acccordlng to the authorities, there prob
ably never was a time when there was so
many schemes afloat which would bear
government Investigation. This la due to
the new discoveries of ore tn many sections
of this country, Canada and Mexico. One
reason why more are uut InvestlgaUd. thf
say. Is because there aren't enough Inspec
tors to do the work. All told there are 2W
postofllce inspectors scattered over the
country. Their work Includes running down
mall thieves as well as swindlers. In fact,
the protection of the mails from thieves
Is their lirst duty ordinarily. Protecting
them from fraudulent use comes next.
In the large cites there are from six to
ten inspectors, but of these not more than
two can be assigned to the detection of
swindles.
"Give us twenty good men," said an in
spector recently, "and I will guaruntee
that we will keep some of these stocls
swindlers on the run. As It Is we haven't
got enough men, and until the force of In
spectors Is considerably increased a lot of
people who haven't got the sense to In
vestigate a thing thoroughly before they
give up their money are bound to get stuck.
That is, unless they do more than they do
at present to protect themselves."
Government Often Called la.
In a great muny cases when complaints
are mude to the local authorities of savings
lost In mining swindles the authorlt'les are
forced to turn the matter ovr to the gov
ernment Inspectors. While the stock, per
haps, has been sold here and the offices of
the promoters are here, the mine or the oil
well may be In Mexico.
As a general thing district attorneys and
police officials haven't any special funds to
draw from with which to pay an investiga
tor for such a Journey as that. It can be
done a little more readily, they say, by the
postofflce officials, because they cover the
entire country, and by means of postmas
ters and the local Inspectors In places they
can reach out much further.
"It's Just that which makes the game
so good and so much better than the old
green goods game," explained the old de
tective. "Compared to the fake mining
game the green goods gams was compara
tively easy to run down. It rarely meant
a trip of more than lot) miles and the aver
age detective, once he got a 'come on,' was
generally bright enough to run the swin
dlers down and get the goods on them.
It was the same with the wire tappers.
What's been the result? They're now sell
ing mining stock. Now, who's going to
tell whether the mine Is a fake or whether
it isn't? The only one to tell that, unless
you get an Insider to squeal on his pals,
la (ha man who has actually made a visit
to the place where the mine Is supposed
to be.
"But that isn't all. There are so many
technical things about mining that a man
has got to study It pretty thoroughly be
fore he's able to tell Just what's up when
he gets to the place that la mentioned In
the prospectus. If he Isn't bright he can
be fooled as easily there as he can be right
here in New York. The thing may be Just
as much of a swindle as if I got out a
prospectus and sold stock In a company
that was going to make salt Into gold, but
If It's 1,000 miles from nowhere it's going
to be a good deal harder to prove a swindle
than the other. Isn't It?
Something of a Game.
"Of course, the crooks are on to thla.
Some of the old wire tappers In conse
quence are behind security companies
whose offices would make your eyes swim.
Il l more of a gentleman's game, you, see,
than the old one, anil about the only per
sons these fellows are afraid of are the
postofflce Inspectors. But suppose thcy'va
got a claim of some kind out in the moun
tains in Nevada and suppose, tlu y haven't.
You can bet they've got somebody out
w here they say the mine Is located keeping
watch for anyone nosing around. They
will have plenty of time to close up shop,
count all thu cash and make a good splltup.
Is it any wonder that they prefer mining
to the other thing?"'
As a general thing the man who Is fleeced
In the mining game doesn't get as much
sympathy as the man who gets tapped by
the wire tappers. He will find that the au
thorities will first want to know why . ha
didn't Investigate the scheme and Its
backers more. One of the chief reasons
why the mining swindler enjoys such Im
munity from arrest lies in the fact that
the average Investment la not more than
tloO. The majority of the victim live In
small places some distance from th man
who Is selling the stock and have not
enough at stake to make them feel Jk
spending much more money to get It back.
All this the mining swindler takes Into ao.
count.
It Is likely that an Increase In the num
ber of postofllce inspectors will be asked
for at the next session of Congress to meet
this emergency: It is th concensus that
only through the postofflce authorities can
the matter be dealt with effectively.
