BY THE report Of the House committee
on naval affairs, it may be judged that
the present administration has done
more, with less money, to build a really
reliable navy, than was done by all the
previous administrations, except during
the war. The Democrats have wisely ex-
pended the money coming into their
hands in this matter, in which their con-
duct is in marked contrast with that of
the Republicans, who, while expanding
millions for the navy, allowed it all to
rot down. 1t is not hard to guess where
the money went to.

Another crowded house, afternoon and

Every one who attends goes away well
pleased with what there is to see. Many
ladies and children were present yesterday,
and to the latter the sights witnessed are
q revelation. The many features oil
the great clock are OF course the principal
object OF interest and present material for
o good deal OF study as it is certainly a
wonderful piece Of mechanism. The mini

entertainment. Ladies and children are
advised to visit in the daytime, in order
to avoid the large crowds in the evening.

Snow and Mining in Eureka Gulch.

From the Montana mining Review
The SNOW in Eureka gulch, and along down
the Basin. is now very deep. During the
lastten days there have hardly been twenty
four consecutive hours during which snow
has not fallen, and as the first snow that
fell last fall is still on b eground the chances.
are that, together with the heavy snow falls
in the spring, the placer miners OF Basin
gulch should experience no lack OF water
next summer to operate all the giants they
care to handle. Luckily the placer miners
in that section are well prepared with ex-
tensive reservoirs in which to catch and
store the surplus water in the spring, SO
that their gold washing season will next
year be several weeks longer than usual.

The wickes Bluebird Mine.

From the Montana mining Review"
Negotiations have been pending for the past
ten days or so. for the sale OF the Bluebird
mine, located at Wickes, in which q good
strike is said to have been made last week.
About q year ago the property was bonded
by the Wickes Shelter Company. and last
the Jay Gould Company secured q
bond on it for $4,000. For some reason,
which we cannot explain, neither OF these
u was taken up. and until recently the
mine has attracted but little attention.
The Bluebird is a silver-lead mine. and. NOT.
"ithstanding it's somewhat ingiorious
sareer, is pronounced by many to be an en-.
cellent property.
