The ELDER A LOSS.
Hopes Of Saving the Stranded
Vessel Abandoned.
DAsHINa AGAINST THE ROCKS.

The Officers and Grew of the Vessel
Leave Her to Fate-The Bullion
Taken Ashore and Preparations
Made to Remove the Cargo-On
Dangerous Coast.
LONDON, Feb. 3.-The place where the
North German Lloyd steamer Elder lies
is exposed to the full force Of the wind
and sea, and is one of the most perilous
points for navigators in the channel
Owing to the treacherous current which
sets in towards the ledge, which varies
in velocity according to weather condi-
tions, thus making it almost impossible
for navigators to take it into their cal
culations, even the captains of coasting
vessels give the place wide berth, and
stand well off shore until the ledge is far
Rstern.
The force of the seas striking the ves-
sci may be Judged from the fact that
her propeller has been washed away.
This will render 1t impossible for the
steamer to use her own steam should
efforts be made TO float her, and she will
have to depend entirely on the tugs if
she attempts To get off.
Cannot Be Saved.
Captains Of coasting vessels who have
arrived at Portsmouth, and who are
thoroughly well acquainted with the
Atherfield ledge, state, after having seen
the stranded steamer. that, owing to her
exposed position, there is little hope that
she will ever be saved.
a late dispatch states that the vessels
position has become most critical. The
tide was rising, and as it approached the
food the water poured into the steamer.
Her afterhold was full, and this nat
prally pulled her stern down. She lies
at such an acute angle that her forchold
is perfectly dry. The sea is washing
over her quarter deck and, to judge
from appearances, she will never float
again. It looks as though she would
slide of her resting place at any mo-
ment and plunge to the bottom. Her
officers decided that the steamer is in
too dangerous a position now for any
one to remain aboard of her, and all
hands hastily left. Two officers and
eight firemen, having with them case
OF gold, were landed from the Elder by
a lifeboat Yesterday forenoon, and the
SRset Of the bullion on board was landed
last night.
Deserted by the Crew.
The landi2g of the crew last night
was weird AND picturesque scene A
powerful electric light aided the MOON
light in casting bright glare on the
waters and guiding the lifeboats. Vast
crowds lined the cliffs to gaze on the
spectacle, and by their cheers or their
silence showed how the incidents of the
rescue affected them. The Atherheld
boat nearly cnpsized several times in the
boiling surf, the oars bending under the
strain. But the crew kept their heads,
and the boats soon righted under their
powerful stroke. The lifeboats landed
the men within seventy-fve minutes
from the time Of launching. The surf
boiled around and over them, often
hiding them from view and every reap
pearance was greeted with cheer from
the cliffs. The trip was accomplished
in safety, the last mails on board being
handed, rs well as l25 of the crew.
All hope of saving the vessel is ahan-
doned. and preparations are being made
to save the cargo.

terms and conditions set forth in the above
form of agreement.
OPERATING AND DEVELOPMENT FUND.
It will be seen that the last payment Of
$500, as illustrated in the above purchase of a
tenth interest in the property-which
amount represents 81 to each acre is set
apart as Development and Operating Fund,
thus enabling the owners of the property
at the end of two years from date of purchase,
to commence mining the coal, with fund in
their hands of $4,000 to be used for this pur-
pose.
s In speaking Of the value and favorable To-
cation ofthe property, the fact should not be
lost sight Of that it is located in the center of
great and rapidly growing manufacturing
region, with furnace and manufacturing in
terests of different kinds surrounding it on all
sides. In the iron manufacturing district of
the State Of Ohio, of which Ironton is con-
sidered the center, there are forty-four
furnaces in active operation. These forty
four furnaces alone annually consume over
1000, 900 tons Of coke. On the completion of
the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago rail-
road the products from the mines on this
Property will be placed practically at their
doors, thus saving them the long and expensive
freight-haul from Connellsville, Pa, and
points in West Virginia, from which two sec
tions they now secure their supply of fuel.
