British and United States Steamers De-
part For Bering Sea.
VICTORIA, June 2s.-Her Majesty's
steamship Nymphe, Commander Turner,
left for Esquimalt Immediately after her
mails were received this morning and will
go direct to Nanaimo. There she will meet
the United States steamship Mohican, in
whose company she will proceed to the
Bering Sea. 1t is expected that Her
Msjesty's steamship Pheasant and United
States steamphip Alert will also make the
Bering Sea cruise in company, leaving here
on Tuesday. Captain. Hitchcock Of the
Alert is seriously ill, and was removed
from the ship to st. Jcseph's Hospital to-
day.
The command will be taken during the
northern trip by Lieutenant Wainwright,
senior officer, who received orders from
Washington so to do. During the past
week both the Mascot and Otto, two Vic
toria schooners, have been quietly fitting
out for sealing. Both vessels, last night,
sailed for Bering Sea- Their captains did
not receive any official notice of suspension
of sealing, and it is needless to say that
they did not ask for it. They will take
chances of securing their share of sealskins
before falling in with the warships.

SEARCH FOR A SISTER.

The Whereabouts of Pretty Young Swiss
Girl Mystery to Her People-supposed
to Have Eloped With Wealthy Pitts
burger.
Max Schamberg, the Hungarian Consul,
has received letter from the Swiss Lega-
tion at Washington, requesting him to in
auire into the whereabouts of young
woman named Frieda Straub, who is sup
posed to be in Pittsburg. The request was
accompanied by a copy of letter written to
the legation by the girls brother, Frederick
Straub, in which it is stated that the sister,
who is "a years of age, left her home in
Neukirsch- -Egnach, Canton Thurgau, Swift
zerland, August IA, 1890, accompanied by
Jacob Peters, representing himself as
wealthy merchant of Pittsburg. The two
sailed for America on the steamship Bur-
gogne, arriving at New York August "a.
The girls family is of high standing in
Switzerland, and as it was supposed that
Peters was her equal, no objections were
raised to her coming away with him. When
the pair arrived in New York the girl sent
word home that she had landed safely, and
that she would write again as soon as she
reached Pittsburg. Her folks have not
heard from her since, and are at loss to
know what has become of her.
The brother who writes the letter Of in
quiry requests that if the sister is in needy
circumstances he will. send any amount of
money necessary to take her home, or if she
desires him to come for her he will come i'm
mediately. There is another brother who is
q wealthy merchant on the Oriental coast Of
Africa, and the missing girl has five sisters
in Switzerland, some of whom have married
into families of high social position. Mr..
Schamberg has endeavored to find some trace
of the girl, but his efforts have so far failed.
There Is no one Of special prominence in
either city by the name of Jacob Peters. He
Is continuing his search, however, in the
hope that he may find the girl.

A LOST SILVER VEIN
That Miners Have Long Searched for,
Discovered in Colorado.
LARGE STREAK OF SOLID METAL.
Fresh Operations in the Worlds Greatest
Silver District.
OIL CITY CAPITAL IN NEW MEXICO

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
NEW YORK, June 2s.-The following re-
ports have been received from the mining
centers of the West:
Denver-The most remarkable mining
news of the week comes from Boulder coun-
ty, where lost vein has been found. The
strike was made at Pomeroy Mountain, two
miles northwest of Caribou. 1t consists OF q
six-ineh streak of almost solid silver, glance
and brittle silver, estimated to run from
$4,000 to $4,000 value per ton. 1t was
found by Fred Douglas and Winslow Car
Isle and undoubtedly is the famous lost
vein which miners in that section have been
looking for for years. The crevice is four
feet wide.
For 20 years Albright and hundreds of
other prospectors have honeycombed the
mountains for this vein, and thousands of
dollars have been spent in the quest.

Two Mines Attached by Creditors.

The American mine, at Hachits, and the
Surprise mine, at Cooks Peak, together
with the tools and implements thereon, be-
longing to the American Silver and Lead
Mining Company, have been attached by
creditors, but it is believed that the matter
will be arranged before the next term of
court. These mines have produced large
quantities of silver-bearing lead ores in the
last two years, nearly all of which is treated
in the international smelter at FL Paso.
More trouble is expected on account of
prospectors going into the Carrizo Mount
aims on the Navajo reservation. Gold was
discovered there some years ago, but there
were few prospectors who ventured on the
reservation until about two years ago,
searching for gold, and most of these never
returned to tell whether they reached the
mountains or not; but last year a party of
about 80 armed prospeetors went into the
mountains and remained long enough to 10
cate a large number of claims before they were
arrested by the military and conducted off
the reservation. They told wonderful
stories about the richness of the gold region
in these mountains, and it was with great
difficulty that miners were kept off the
reservation during the remainder of the
season. A short time ago a company of
soldiers was sent to the reservation, and
now another company has been ordered
there 10 keep prospectors from trespassing
on these gold fields, which have been so
jealously guarded by the Navajos, and which
are said to be the richest in New Mexico.

Famous as a silver District.

Tucson, Ariz.-The Planchas silver
mining district in Sonora is one of the Oldest
as well as the most famous mineral regions
of Mexico. 1t furnished the largest nugget
of native silver ever discovered, its weight
being 200 pounds The discovery were
made in 1886, causing great rush to the
new diggings Such masses of pure silver
as were unearthed in Planchas canon was
the wonder of the day, and have never been
equalled since. Numerous specimens of
native silver, weighing from 200 to 400
pounds, were picked up here in the early
DAYS.
A large expenditure is now being made
there bv the Plata Reina de Sepora Mining
and Milling Company in the projection of
tunnels far beneath the old workings. Min
ing is getting brisk in the Dragon district.
A rich strike has been made in the c. o. D.,
at the 15O-foot level The ore, it is said by
experts, will run 200 ounces of silver TO
the ton.

Developing a Pay Chute.

fogIe, or Chispa mine, as it is now called, is
employing force of 25 men, and develop
ment work is being done as rapidly as pos
sible The vein runs from two feet up to
eight or ten feet in thickness, and the pay
chute, as far as developed, seems to be
about $50 or 600 feet in length. 1t is true
fissure vein, the contact being of quartzite
on the hanging, and lime shale, or slate, on
the foot wall
The ore is high grade. Coarse gold is
found more or less for the entire length of
the chute. Fine gold also is found from
end to end, and in places is very abundant
The company's prospecting mil will be set
up six miles from here at large spring,
and will soon make its initial run.

Oil CITY Capital In It,

Silver City-There is a project on foot
10 build large smelter at Lordsburg in
the western part of this county. The plan
is favorably thought of by Marcus Hulings,
amillionaire oil operator foil City, Pa, who
is interested in mines near Lordsburg, and
who has been prospecting for artesian water
there Since the erection of a smelter was
proposed at Lordsburg there has been large
number of offers to guarantee ore from the
camps in the neighborhood, and it looks as
though there would be no difficulty in get
ting ore enough to keep a large smelter in
operation. Work is progressing in a most
satisfactory manner on the Last Chance
mill on Silver creek in the Mogollons, and
it will soon be in operation.
The Pacific mine at Silver Creek is show
ing seven feet of ore in the shaft, and three
feet of this is high grade. One-third of this
mine belongs to Joe Seidenspinner, an old
cobbler of this place, who has expended all
of his surplus earnings in the development
of this mine. Very encouraging reports
come from Piedmont, the new camp two
and a half miles west of Carlisle. Some
very high grade ore is being taken out, and
the deposits are said to be quite extensive.

The Silver Didn't Pan Out.

San Francisco-Several prospectors who
went out to the desert recently to investi-
gate the reported strike of silver near
Julian, San Diego county, have returned
with discouIaging reports and unsatisfactory
ASSAYS. The quicksilver mines on Beaver
creek, Sisky Ion, prospect very well, and
the company owning them has decided to
put up furnaces, build a wagon road and
establish mining camp.
A chute of $50 ore is being worked in the
Washington mine, Nevada county, and is
improving as the drift advances
Virginia City-The Superintendent's re-
port Of last weeks operations in Consoli-
dated California and Virginia shows that
some sloping ore continued, but no impor-
tant discoveries were made. No sinking
has been done from Wine downward, as
the ore shown is of poor quality On the
1,300-foot level some ore was extracted
below the mill floor of the East Cross
cut Run from south drift. The 1000
level, from the end of West
Crosscut, continued to exhibit good
ore upward to the north floor. On the
north floor ore continues of good quality,
and the width of the body holds good in a
southerly direction. The 1,600 level con-
tinues to extract ore along and above the
line of the east drift, although old slopes
on the sill floor, also from the slopes, are
being worked north and south from that drift,
and continue to show ore of good quality
at point 200 feet south from the north line
of the mine. Yellow Jacket is yielding
daily about 100 tons of 81 gold ore and 40
tons of SIS silver ore.

While speaking of the outlook yesterday
one of the heaviest operators in the business
said that he would finish the half dozen
wells he now has under way, but that he
would start no more at the present price of
oil. The territory is becoming too spotted,
and he considers it too hazardous to risk
several thousand dollars in putting down
well with the chances of getting small one
or a duster for less than 20 cents barrel.

The Mcdonald Pool,

There is little change in this field that
was not given in The DISPATCH Saturday
morning. 1t seems to be the general i'm

little if any oil in the fifth sand and all that
is now coming from the wells in that terri
