Of nitrate on board consigned to J. W.
Grace S Co. of San Francisco. The Sirius
Is vessel with history. By actual count
she has had fourteen masters in the twenty
six years she has been on the high seas.
Her name has been changed four times, the
most common and best known of which is
the Scandinavia. Captain Kirk reports the
voyage down as stormy, aud at every place
she stopped envovs of Balmaceda had her
seized, Itata fashion, SO as to determine
whether or not her hold contained contra
band goods. Finally she reached IQuique
and Pisagua and discharged her cargo.
Prices were ruling low, and she did not
make much, nor did the Montserrat which
arrived soon afterward. The return voyage
was uneventful The vessel put in here for
coal and provisions and will sail north to-
morrow.
Alfred Meek, a passenger on the Sirius.
was interviewed this evening by an Associ-
ated Press reporter. Mr. Meek stated that
the Sirius left Iquique on the I'd inst The
insurgents were shipping soldiers to south
ern port, the destination not being made
known. The transports conveying the
soldiers, about 5000 in number, were ac-
companied by the war-ships Esm eralda and
Magelanes. as the cable has been cut near
1quique that port has been deprived of di-
rect communication. all messages going d.
rectly from Valparaiso to Calao The
American telegraph office has been closed
for some weeks on this account. The En-
gish residents of lquique, as we'll as the
other foreign population, have entertained
the opinion that Balmaceda would finally
be the victor, while. on the other hand, the
insurgents are equally sanguine of success.
NJ ore recently, or about the time the soldiers
were being shipped south, the general
opinion was that when the insurgent forces
landed in the southern territory they would
receive large e-enforcements from Balma-
ceda's army, and this has since proved to be
the case.
THE INSURGENTS WELL ARMED.
Mr. Lennox, another passenger, says:
''Shortly after the departure of the Charles
ton and Itata for the north the insurgents'
soldiers had large supply of new guns,
which were generally presumed to have
been portion of the Itata's cargo. Pro-
visions are very scarce in some localities :;
the northern provinces have now been cut
off from the southern sources of supply and
many people are on the verge of starvation.
The practice of sending supplies to Callao
and reshipping them to Iquique has been
stopped, and 1t is now getting so that those
who have money stand but little better
chance than the poor in obtaining food.
Very little can be brought in from the east
owing to the distance and roughnoss of the
roads.

Augustus Edwards, prominent banker,
one of the wealthiest in the country, sided

Frank Lemon, who is prospecting
out in the vicinity Of Seafoam, took
Il run into town this week to get some
rock assayed from location his com
pany has made, and while he did not
care to make the matter public just
now, assured us the assays were sat
isfactory. Speaking Of the Seafoam
mines it is Mr.. Lemons opinion that
more work will be done there THIS
season and more ore shipped than in
any former year Already work is
being pushed on the Blackhawk,
owned by J. O. Swift & Co., of Hal
ley, and is turning out good ore, as
is also the Big Sui phuret and Eureka
mines, owned by Womack, Lane &
Co. All of these mines will be large
shippers of ore this season. Work
has been commenced on the Rufus
mine, which will probably ship ore
oslOl tiiG Is Out. AitoSSiu-
er, our informant thinks Seafoam will
ship between four hundred and six
hundred tons of ore this season, which
when it is remembered that this has
to be packed on mules distance oi
fifteen miles and then hauled seven.
ty-fve miles further on wagons to ge
it to the railroad, is no small matter
and requires rich ore to pay. Mr.
Lemons discovery was made il
Bernard's Pass, on the Sheep Noun
tain trail, and joins the Susie ID. mine
which is described as a fine looking
prospect. George Baldwin will no
work his Seafoam mines this season
but to offset this the Daley Bros
who own quite a number of location
there, will begin the development o
their claims, and it is settled tina
Seafoam will henceforth be listed a
a regular producer of ore, and the or,
of the camp being high grade, it
product will add materially to the an
nual output and reputation of tn
rich mining region of which it is
part.

who own and will operate this prop
