Largest Opium Seizure at San Francisco Port
Four treasury agents seized opium valued at $400000 Saturday afternoon at the San Francisco port. The drug was stopped for violating custom rules barring Chinese importation and under the 1887 statute restricting opium rights to Caucasians. The seizure aims to raise local opium prices and enforces a $6 per pound duty. The U S Chinese treaty requires blocking opium imports by Chinese agents.

A quirky tale from the west recalls John Garber in Nevada who met an old man and a pension inquiry at Chief Justice Beatty's chambers. The piece riffs on the saying I used to know him in Nevada and hints at charity as a broader social excuse. The column mingles anecdotes, advertisements, and notices from Winnemucca and Paradise.
