NORFOLK, Virginia, June 1s.-The
training ship Constellation, with the An
napolis cadets aboard went aground to-
night Q mile northwest Of Cape Henry.
She is in charge Of Commander Harrirg-
ton and Navigating Onicer Lowe. There
are 300 people aboard. The Baker Salvage
Company have sent vessel to her assist
ancc.
Later intelligence from the Constells-
ton at 8 o'clock tonight Is to the effect
that she is 800 yards from shore and drift
ing in.
Tho captain Of the Life saving station
near Cape Henry, with his crew, has got
ten line to the ship and has hauled out
the breeches buoy, though no one has got
ten ashore - yet
The wind, which was heavy at the time
the ship went ashore, has since Quieted
down some and It may be that the Constel.
lation may not go to pieces, though there
is not much chance that she will be saved.
Besides the Salvage Compsny's steamer
two tugs Of the New York, Philadelphia &

Rich Veins Of Anthracite-A Mountain
Of Manganese of Iron.

CHICAGO, June 17.-Hon. John Kin
caid Of Gunnison, Colo, is in the city, and
he is imparting to the big iron men story
of interest. A syndicate of Chicago and
Pennsylvania capitalists who went to
Gunnison, Colo, to inspect some land sup
posed to contain anthracite coal, found a
richer discovery than they dared to antici-
pate. A huge mountain Of almost chemi-
cally pure manganese of iron was found,
together with almost unlimited veins Of an
thracite. This manganese is essentially
the spiegeleisen Of commerce, and every
manufacturer Of Bessemer steel rails who
uses the article In furnaces knows the
value Of these discoveries. Kincaid says
the syndicate Is wild with Joy over theii
success.

MEETING OF MINING ENGINEERS
Address of Welcome by Senator VOL
colt,


cotts
The American Institute of Mining
Engineers met in annual session in Denver
last Wednesday. Senator Wolcotr deliv.
cred the following address Of welcome:
Gentlemen of the American Institute of
Mining EngtReers-I can imagine Of no
greater honor than the privilege Of extend
ing to such q body of men o welcome to
Denver and to Colorado. l am moved to
assure you, however. that we are o very
decent people, notwithstanding what you
may read in some of the newspapers to the
contrary. 1t will be perfectly safe for you
to so about the street in the day time, and
even II you should meet q member of the
Seventh General Assembly 1t will not be
necessary for you to keep your hand on
your pocketbook.
We have everything here IN command
your attention. Colorado affords won
derful field for the scientific man. Its
mountains are full Of lnines and there is
wealth untold in their hidden recesses.
This State owes everything to the members
OF your honorable profession. You have
reduced the cost of smelling and refining
TO minimum, and have instructed our
miners how to work systematically, which
means economically. We feel gratified to
you for having honored one of our .citizens
with the presidency of your association.
He Is man who stands to-day at the very
head OF the smelling interests OF the world.
But let me tell you what i think you
ehould do. The present mining law was
passed long before Lcadvillc and Aspen
had been discovered. As at present formed
IL Is cumbersome and difficult to apply.
Some time it must be changed. II would
be highly gratifying to the people Of the
entire mining region II you in your wisdom
should give some adequate definition Of
what a lode really il. At present the
miner ind the lawyer are foundering
around Mt the mercy of o jury, many Of
whose members often have not the remot-
est idea Of what mine IL. As consc-
qucnce the longest pole gets tho persim-
mons.
Here is another thing that, II you would
consider the people Of Colorado would
rise up as one man and call you blessed.
Every citizen Of this State 10 anxious that
the laws should be obcyed. We have q
law upon our statute books which says
that each pound Of lead orc brought into
this country must pay duty Of II cents
per pound. You know how much mineral
is coming into the United States FREQ of
iuty. for the simple reason that the law
Is not properly construed. Let this intel
.igent body Of men say so, and there will
be an end TO it.
We are proud of you. We are glad Of
your presence. The Stnte is at your dis
,osal. We willingly give you the keys tr
,ur homes and 70 our hcarts.

change made in their contract ON the State
House from sandstone to granite.
The experts chosen to decide this qucs-
tion, and to submit their decision to the
Capitol Board for consideration and ap
proval, or rejection, rs they should deem

z. Edbrooke on the part of the Board Of
Capitol Commissioncrs,M Mr.. William Morri
son on the part Of the contractors, and Mr..
Peter Gumry, who was chosen as tho third
member Of tho Board Of Experts by the
two first chosen. Tho gentlemen reported
TO tho Board of Capitol Commissioner,
that, agreeable to instructions, they had
carefully gone over each and every part OF
the building according to the plans pre-
viously agreed upon for its construction,
and had carefully estimated the cost Of the
change from sandstone 10 granite. In
arriving ut the estimate Of difference OF
cost tho experts had taken tho schedule OF
granite cutters union prices, fixing the
cost OF the delivery of granite on the
ground at ei per square foot.
The Board left the selection of the gran
itc to the contractors, Messrs. Geddis T.
Secric, stipulating that the stone must be
taken either from Gunnison or George
town. The contractors will notify the
Board In writing at m early day as TO
their choice In the matter OF stone
The difference In the cost Of tho building
In changing from sandstone TO granite, as
certified by the expert board, is til4, ~. 20.

and the Board of Commissioners, the At
torney General was instructed to draft o
contract In accordance with this agreement
at once and submit It to the Governor, TO
be signed by him on behalf Of tho State
and TO the contractors for their signature.

Board that the Gunnison granite had u
somewhat greater resisting powor than the
Georgetown granite.
Mf. Gcddis, OF Gcddis & Secric, con-
tractors for the building was seen by n
Nc,rs reporter and intcrrogated as TO his
choice Of tho Gunnison or Georgetown
quarry.

prcttier stono and = better stone; but ono
great point IL that the stone can DO got out
sf the Gunnison quarry with far less trou-

BUTTE, Dec. 9.-The workmen on the
Gallatin branch of the Northern Pacific
made n strange discovery at Jefferson
Canyon yesterday. This is the place for
the possession of which the Northern
Pacific and Union Pacific roads fought
some time ago. and which the Northern
Pacific finally obtained for their Home
stake route. AT the entrance of the ram
yon are rocky bluffs about 2bO feet high.
Al this point many of the rocks had tuin-
BLEED down and lay smashed and crumbls.h
at the bottom of the canyon. The rail
road laborers have been engaged for
some days in shovelinQ up tii,
rocks and debris with n steam
shovel. In loading "a flat ear
with this debris. the workInen were horri-
fled to find that they had scooped up in the
shovel and thrown on the car the skeleton
OF n man. The skull and larger homes
could he easily picked out, but the smaller
bones and the clothing had disappeared.
How the mans death was caused il ~ mys-
terry that the workingincn have been dis
GUESSING earnestly. The shape Of the skull
shows that the man was u white man, and
the fact that gold filling was found in his
teeth shows that he was probably from
the higher grades of life. The mans
death is supposed to have occurred years
ago.
