RURRAH FOR BARKER
Two Hundred Bars Of Bullion Turned Out
in Twenty-four Hours Promising
Prospects for the Camp.

Under date of March 7th an esteemed
subscriber at Clendenin writes us that
the bias furnace was started on
the day preceding and that during the
first tw~enty-four hours of the u 200
bars Of bullion were produced, the best
work ever done by Prof. Foss. The first
shift of twelve hours 10 bars were dip
ped out. The furnace is i'll excellent
condition and this run promises to be
the most successful yet, and certainly
by far The most profitable to the com
pany.
The Silver Belle mine is being worked
with a full force, is looking better than
ever, and the indications for striking a
large body of ore are very strong
The financial outlook for the company
is very promising, and at the rate they
are making money now it will be but
the matter of a few months until every
dollar Of their liabilities is paid. Every
body in the camp is encouraged and
hopeful for the future.
The weather has been cold and dis
agreeable at the camp (as it has been
everywhere eIse), and on the 18th a
severe snow storm ragged there.

Will have charge Of the expedition that

sac fate OF "a long list Of arctic explorers

land III 1889, and is now in his forty
fifth year. He was appointed to the
naval academy III 1856, and graduated
in 1860. At the opening of the Civil
War in 1861, he was attached to the
frigate Patomac as master, and stationed
at Ship Island. In 1862 he was trans
ferred to the steam gunboat Winona, of

was in all the engagements which led to
the capture of Port Hudson, La. So

conflict, that or the 10Th of July, 1862,
he was promoted to a lieutenancy. Soon
he was transferred to the gunboat
Wateree, of the Pacific squadron, in
which he served for two years, during
that period being commissioned as a
lieutenant commander. During 1867
he was assigned to the Naval Academy,
where he remained All instructor un-

10th, 1874, was promoted to commander.
He then commanded the Essex on the
South Atlantic station during 1877 and
1878, and since that time has been
.variously assigned. At the time of
his selection to command the Greedy /
relief expedition, he was under service
in the naval bureau of equipment and
navigation,
Commander Schley is now actively
engaged IN selecting and organizing
crew of $50 that will accompany
him. and expects to sail on his mission
in April. The expedition will be
composed of three vessels, and will be
equipped for a two years absence. Mr..
will leave behind him an anx-
lous wife and family Of children, and
