1T WON'T WORK,

Really for Agricultural Purposes

The secretary of the interior has made
al important decision in a Montana min
ing case, which will be found of general
| interest 10 persons who take up land, os-
tensibly for placer mining purposes. but
actually for agricultural purposes.
Frederick Botchcr filed for patent, uiu
eral entry No. 9lS. for the Gertrude placer
claim, with the Helena land office Dee. 12,
1852. 1t was held for cancellation by the
commissioner Of the general land office
Aug. 2a 1888. The entry embraces four
locations comprising sixty acres There I
no conflicting claim and the good faith OF
the eutryman is not questioned. The fo..-
lowing points Of tie case and the rulin. is
from the report of Prof. Jas. II. Manlr-
willie to The Financial and Mining Record
THE trouble is that the proof is hardly M

HIS STOCK WENT UP.

How Mnj. Riddleford Was Convinced OF
His Dogs Great Worth.
An angry looking man called at the office
of Maj. Riddleford. " have come, sir said
the man, "to tell you that while passing your
house this morning your dog ran out and bit
me-"
"You don't say so!'' the major exclaimed.
"Yes, io say SO. l was walking along
the road, attending strictly to my own busl-

"Didn't crawl under the gntea"
''No, I tell you he jumped over the fence.
"Did he go over with clear leap or did he
scramble on top7'
''He jumped clear over, but what difference
does that makea"
makes considerable difference. A dog
that can jump 50 high a fence must be vau-
able. For some time have thought that he
was of no account and had intended to kill
him, but now that you havo given me so
strong proof Of his worth, why his stock
goes up. He shall live. Now, il he had
crawled under the cato, or If lie had scram-
bled clumsily on top Of the fence, should at

The gun carriages are also very differ
ent from those used twenty-four years
ago. They arc of steel and are worked
by machinery more complicated than
was required to drive the first steamboat.
Tho guns are moved by machinery, both
elevated and depressed, and run in and
out. They are loaded by machinery both
with the charge and the shot or shell,
and when loaded aro often now fired by
electricity. Besides all this there are
often great cylinders placed ut the breech,
filled with water or air or glycerine to
stop the recoil. For power to work all
this machinery compressed air or hy-
draullc power and sometimes steam is
used.

There is one matter of congratulation
for Uncle Sam in respect to his navy.
When he gets it, it will be all new.
Probably in tho history of nations no
great power ever sank SO low compared
with others as the United States in her
water armament during the past ten or
fifteen years. What ships she had were
old fashioned wooden tubs, not too big
for gcntleman's yacht, and with guns
only fitted to fire salutes. There were
not enough Of them to keep half the off
GERS Of the navy afloat, and the men
were becoming deInoralizcd for want Of
sea service. When there were but few
such ships left they were nearly all gath
cred together at Samoa, and big storm
came along and wrecked them. This
left the United States government with
scarcely respectable ship to send to re-
place those lost. In short, there was no
navy left 1t had all been wiped out.
B1t the turning point had already
come. Congress had ordered ships, and
some Of them were being finished These
were steel cruisers, having, as is said
about houses to rent, "all the modern

similarity Of appearance between mod
ern iron war ship and the Constitution
as there is between the Constitution and
Reman trireme. Indeed, there is one
feature in common with the trircme and
the modern iron war ship that the Con-
stitution did not possess, that is the ram.
During the naval contests of the civil
war this antiquatcd feature Of war YES
sells, which the Romans and other nations
OF that time relied on as the principal
implement Of attack, came again into
use, aud, strange to say, it was intro
duced by the Confederates. The officers
of the United States navy stood more in
fear of Confederate rams than any other
arm the Confederates possessed for naval
warfare. Considering the rams effective
ness, it is q wonder that it ever dropped
out of the navies of the world.
1t was during this war between the
states that the great change of TODAY
in war ships came: and for nearly thirty
