THE TYPHOON.
GREAT DAMAGE AT WENCHOW,
||
From our Shanghai exchanges we learn that the typhoon of the 20th ult, which Dr. Dobe-ck reported as having entered the southern part of the Formon Channel, struck Wenchow, on the northern side of the Channel. The Mercury says that the C. M. S. N. Co.'s steamship Hatching, which arrived from Wenchow, on the 29th ult, reports a terrific typhops at that place on the 22nd inst. The country all round was
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1889.
Siminis are one day's journey from Sambas river, below the town, and the mines are abun- dant. Salako is up a river fifteen miles south of the Sambas river; it lies nearly forty miles but communicates with Sambas 'by another river; here the metal is found more abundant than anywhere else, and twenty thousand Chi nese are found in this district. Montrade in three days' joumey up the Mompawa river it is under an independent Malay prince. Sove accounts make the population of this district great, nearly fifty thousand Dayers, Malays and Chinese, but perhaps half the number may be nearer the truth. These are chiefly employed on the gold mines, and in preducing food for the miners; these mines, however, do not produce that quantity which they might under Chinese management.

houses were flooded were drowned in great num- bera. Numerous junks were during the night driven from their anchorage, and blown inland balf a mile or more. Outside there were a great many native craft wrecked and their crews drowned. Dend bodies were continually carried down the river there, and greatest distress prevailed amongst the people along its banks. On her way up the Haeching passed several dead bodies, evidently of junkinen. She wa fortunate in being safe at anchor during the worst part of the storm, which was one of the worst her officers ever experienced. She sustained no damage, though she dragged her anchor a little, and did not hear of any mishap to any foreign vessel.
Mandore is about a day's journey from Pos- tianak, and belongs to the Sultan. It is reckoned a very rich mine, though but recently wrought. There are as ye only twelve parets of about two hundred men each, but it is capable some very rich specimens of copper ore; it has not as yet been worked wrought gold being deemed a much more productive article. The Sultan wishes, however, he had some boring utensils and an experienced miner to enable him to decided whether it would be worth working under the peculiar circumstances above mentioned. Numbers of Chinese are settled in this district, and the population is annually increasing.
About three days' journey up the Pongole river lies the district of Songo, with a population of twenty-five thousand souls, Dayers, and a few Chinese, under a Malay and independent prince. The population is chiefly employed on the rich mines of gold in the neighbourhood, which is particularly pure and abundant; but the mines are not wrought with the same industry as those under Chinese management. The Dutch thought it of so much consequence, as to keep a force at
Songo and to place the present rajah on the musnud.
About a days Journey futher up, lie another gold district, called Santam, the inhabitants of which are also Dayers. Beyond Santam, and higher up on the same river, fies the town Suka- dow, abounding in gold, the inhabitants of which are also Dayers.
Matan belongs to a rajah of that name; he had the title of rajah of Sukadana until driven out of the latter place by the Dutch, seventeen years ago. There are ten thousand Dayers in this district, and a few Chinese and Malays. The mines of go'd are abundant, and capable of be coming highly productive, as well as the mines of iron and unwrought tin, but the Sultan is much addicted to the use of opium, and hence neglects a valuable country, capable, under bet- ter management, of becoming the most valuable district in all Borneo.
About three days' journey from Pontianak lies the celebrated island of Landa, which, after Golconda, is the most valuable diamond mine. There are at least thirty thousand people, prin-
A passenger, in account of the storm, says — As 6 p.m. the wind blew with typhoon force from the N,N,W., with blinding rain up to 10 pm... when it lulled down to dead calm, and we found that the steamer, having dragged close to the bank to the southward of the White Rock, and the sea breaking close to the steamer, during the full, which lasted for about 30 minutes, Capt. Danielsen had the anchor hove up and steamed out into the channel and dropped both anchors with 60 faths. chain. In letting go the starboard anchor, and after some strain getting on to the chain, it snapped, and we then had to trust to the port anchor and chain. At midnight, the wind blew with terrific force from the S.S.W., with blinding rain and sea breaking over the vessel; steam was then ordered and she steamed against sea and wind with 75 fathom of chain out, but unfortunately the vessel stranded at about 3 am, on the mud bank south of Hutau Island, and she bumped for about an hour, with sea breaking over the deck. At about 5 a.m. the flood made and the vessel was got off into deep water; pumps sounded no water in the hold. Still weather very thick, and heavy rain, so that we could not proceed up river before 4 p.m.of the game day, and anchored at the Lower Anchorage for the night and left for Wenchowcipally Dayers, employed in the mines and next morning, the 24th, and anchored off the Sttlement at 8 am. I may mention that I have never seen such a terrific gale in all my travels, though having been to sea, for many years, and experienced many typhoons in the China Sea; the rain was blinding and the gusts of wind were like thunder, and we had to get about the deck on bands and knees. Although we were sheltered by Hutau Island to the northward and shallow banks to the southward, still the sea was high and breaking over the vessel, and wishing things about the deck and cabins. Great praise is due to Captain Danielsen and his able officers for the seamanlike way in which they managed the steamer, and for all comforts meted out to the passengers. On going up Wenchow river we saw lots of wreckage all the way up to Wenchow, and the banks of the river showed indications of heavy sea and strong wird-as various houses was more or less damaged. It is reported that over 20 native crafts are sunk and many others damaged by the typhoon,

There is a very valuable gold mine in North of Borneo at a place called Tampasuk, situated in the district ceded to the English by the Sultan of Sulu, but having become the prin cipal pirate port on the coast, the working of the mines has been discontinued.
The whole production of the gold mines in} Sukadana is said to be annually about za picule, or a million of dollars, at twenty-five dollars a bankal; but no calculation of this sort can possibly be correct. Living no the Chinese dp, under the rapacity of despotic and ferocious freebooters who are actuated by no principle of honor, justice, or good faith, it is their interest to conceal the riches they amass, not only to preserve themselves from the clutches of these tyrants, but ai the most compact substance to transport to their native shores, to which they repair with the fruits of their industry by the annual junks that arrived at Pontianak, leaving the mines to new settlers; from two to three hundred leave Pontianak every year.
The standard of Stakow gold at Pontianak is affixed at 23 Spanish dollars the bunkal, of 2 dollars weight. "The Songo and Laurat is $25 to the sald bunkil,
Not having had an opportunity of inspecting any of the gold mines personally, I know not if the ores readily melt of themselves, or whether they require the aid of any fluxes before they yield the metal; but I believe the principal at tention of the miners is directed to the rich veins of pure native gold, and that no operation is per- formed beyond that of pulverising, and simple washing: all the gold about Pontianak being in dust, though some I have met with in Borneo proper, was run into bars. About Landak, where the diamonds are found, the whole of the stratum is observed to be a clay of a red burnt appearance, nearly to the same degree as that of burnt bricks, which gives to the rivers hereabouts a peculiar tinge. Whether this has been formed by the action of subterraneous fires, or is the eff.ct of volcanoes or earthquakes, i cannot decide; the
