ALAMEDA'S WATER SUPPLY. Proarreao on the Well IHowfIu Conrae ot Excavation. The laige well which the Artesian Water Company is sinking near High street, Alameda, has reached the depth of eighty-seven feet. It was the intention to sink it 100 feet, but water is flowing in so fast at present that it is almost impossible to go down any further.

An engine kept bnav pumping the water out at th rate of 1 12,000 gallons per this is not suriicient to allow further exca vation. I Tbe well is sixteen feet wide and it encased with heavy timbers to prevent any caving. ive shafts l.otxi teet in length will be run from the bottom in dif ferent directions ia order to increase th supply of water. When these are finished. the timbers will be removed and a brick wall eighteen inchaa thick will be substituted.

It thought that this well, together with ill many artesian wells that are now in oper ation will be sufficient to satisfy all tbe de mands for water in the city of Alameda for years to come. i. Salt to Recover Rent. W. J.

Mr.

MQler has been prominent in basinee enterprises in Oakland for some years. Be waa one of the principal stock-holders 1n the East Oakland Cotton Mill, and bad a considerable block of stock in the Star Flouring Mills. He was a half owner in the extensire pottery I works the Park street station known as the California Pottery Work. la this enterprise Serril Winsor was the owner of th. other half interest bat took nvpart in the management; which was conducted by Mr.

Miller. The latter is a man of great experience in pottery work, haviojt received a careful training in England-aria Scotland in the beat pottery works. Mi Miller was highly thought of, a i buioese- man of the best class and of independent fortune auired in the prosperous pottery business which he bailt up. Therefore when be assigned everything that he had in the world, and induced his wife to turn over everything she had without consideration so far as 'was known, there was a good deal of talk about it and inquiry. Mr.

Winsor was aeked about it and said that it was a simple business transaction, not requiring any explanation. Neither did Mr. Miller want to explain at first. MB. MILLXK IXPLAISS.

He was seen to-day by a reporter and asked about the transaction. He was very unwilling to go into, particulars, and only did so when told that etoriea to hia disadvantage were being circulated, Thea he said: 'I will tell you the storyT I never kept any -books of or entries for tbe sale of dmagsd (foods, I may have old $1,500 Worth of them, in different places. Winsor employed a man to track up these Jalea. He had a man employed a year hunting up these transactions all over the I made a great misr-ake in not entering them up, bnt at the outside they conld not have scraped tip more tLan $1,500 kgaiost me. About six months Winsor accused me of celling goods without making- any return.

I then wanted him to crime down and take charge of the bu-inet himself, hut be would not do it. About a month ago he sent Webb Pierce to me to say that AT A. Moore, the law yer, wanted to see me. 1 I went to Moore's office and f.UQd him aud Winsor fitting together. Moore-said to me: -J THS ISTERVItW.

"Miller, you have gut yourself into a seri- on business bere. Mr. Winsor charges you with selling goods without making returns and carrying more men on the books 'than were employed in the works." I asked "Is this a State Prison offense He said It was and that I could be sent to San Quefftiu on account of it. I raid, What da yon want?" Moore 'said. "Mr.

Winsor will make tha I said to Winsor: "What do you -want and he replied, "I want yon to sign away all your I a terra in the property and the notes drawn in your favor, and get your wife to ulease the of $4,500 on the pit tery I sent Webb Pierce in a buggy fpr my wife. She. did not want to 'sign toe relessr. and only did so bcaae I told her that Mr, Moore, bad said it was a State Prison of fense. Then she signed it on the impuLw of the' moment.

I was paying money into tbe concern right -along. I advaoced money! to the business all the time I put in 1,800 before Webb Pierce came in. The money on mortgage waa advanced by me. I have advanced $8,000 in all to the business, and for two years I only drew $10 a week from it We started in 11 yers ago, and we had a working capital of $1,500 advanced by Winsor. I had no money, bnt under stoodhe business.

TU TALUK OF THE PROPERTY TURNED OVER. "What was the value of your interest in the pottery works, Mr. Wilier!" "The land is worth $10,000 to-day. We pUd $3,000 for it. (The buildings are wtrth tbe kilns, the pat tern, the stock on hand, and tbe good will mut be worth at least $10,000.

That make a total of $45,000. of which I owned half. They could not crape up $1,500 against me, and I signed all my property away on the impulse the moment, just because Moore said it was a State Pris offense." How long bava yon been in Californi Mr. Miller? .4 "I came here in 1858, but went East shortly afterwards and then re tuned. I was in the theatrical business as manager for tome time, and built a theater on the ooraer of Pacific and Kearny streets.
