GOLD.

The Recent Find IN tho Upper Poniss4Ja.
Milwaukee Special to Chicago Tribune.J
Concerning the gold discoveries on the upper
Michigan peninsula, the Escanaba Iron Port of
yesterday has the following:
There is no question of doubt now but that
certain portions of the Emmett mine ore con-
tain large amounts of pure gold, which in some
of the best specimens show quite distinctly
upon the surface. We must confess that we
were somewhat astonished when we first heard
of it, but after investigating the story, examin-
cious metal present itself on the surface we had
to. be convinced. The latest assay, Judge In
gals informs us, yielded at the rate of 81, 400
| to the ton. This must undoubtedly have been
from selected ore, although some of tbs pieces
that we have examined would go n,uch higher.
The question of separation, the judge thinks. is
comparatively easy one, as he is satifed that it
can be treated readily with quicksilver. 1t
may have to be roasted to eliminate the sulphur
which is incorporated in small quantities with
it. The process of pulverizing and amalgamat-
! ing subsequently it will be quite simple. A
prominent assayist of Chicago assured him that
with all the surroundings favorable, he thought
that the extraction Of the gold and silver could
| be made at a cost not exceeding two dollars a
| ton. The judge is anxious to try the separa-
ton on a large SCALE and would send q ton or
| SO to some stamp mill providing there was one
to do 90, he may FOR trial purposes build an old
! fashioned Mexican arastrs, which in the case Of
free gold. to be collected with quicksilver, is
Just as effective anything else. OF courso
many stories are afoat in regard to this strange
discovery, and the further they travel the
larger they become, until specks and fine scales
of gold have become sizeable nuggets, and some
of the nuggets are increasing in size. There
can now be no doubt but q gold mine ex-
lists on the upper Peninsulao of Michigan, thirty
foar miles west from this port.
/ We have obtained the exact analysis, "a pro-
cured by Mr.. Thomas Breen, who has just re-
turned from Chicago. s4E4 @

The absurdity Of the ironclad business was
strikingly illustrated in n recent discussion
In London, between naval officers and eX-
perts, of a proposition made by Admiral Sell
WYNN Of the British navy for the construc-
ton Of a new armored vessel which should
be the most powerful in the world. Though
England already has on the stocks, only
about half completed, the Iniiexible, which
was 10 beat everything aiioat in the way OF
lronclads, here comes plan fora new vessel
superior in both armor and armament.
Admiral SELwYN calls his ship the Britain
MIA, and 1t Is designed 10 be about half
arger than the Inilexible; its displacement
A767 tons, against the 1900 tons OF the
earlier vessel. It's armor is TO be thirty
inches at the vital parts of the ship, while
that Of the Inilexible at those places is only
twenty-four inches. II is TO carry eight 100
ton and eight SO-ton guns, while the other
will have when done only four s0-ton guns.
The armament alone will weigh the enor-
nous amount Of $500 tons, equal 10 the full
tonnage of a large-sized ocean steamer. The
britannia is also TO carry 1000 tons Of coal,
which, inasmuch as she will burn 200 tons a
