SALUTED A REBEL FLAG
Admiral Stanton is Removed
From the Command of Troops.
CAPT PICKING NOW HAsTHBFIBET

The United States Commandant's Act In
salutIng Admiral HIeiIo's FlagCon
Unfriendly to Friendly Power by the
Washington Authorities.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 The peremp-
tory removal of Commodore and Acting
Rear Admiral Stanton from the com
mand Of the South Atlantic station was
one Of the most startling surprises ever
experienced in Washington official life.
and for time it almost obscured the
interest in the silver fight. Presi-
dent Cleveland took action after
long conference with the Secretaries Of
State and the Navy and when put in pos
session of all the facts and also of such
further information as Senior Mendonca
the Brazilian minister in Washington,
was able to furnish.
Unfriendly Act TO Friendly Power.
The official order was made public by
Secretary Herbert in the following mem
orandum
"The Navy Department learned by
telegram from Rear Admiral Stanton,
in command of the United States naval
fo ces at Rio Janeiro, that this officer
had saluted the flag Of Admiral Mello,
commanding the insurgent fleet.
This salute was unauthorized by
any instructions the admiral had
received. 1t was an unfriendly act
toward a friendly power. The Secretary
of the Navy. after consulting with the
President and the Secretary of State,
issued an order detaching Admiral
stanton from command Of his squadron.
and turning it over TO Captain Picking,
the next officer in rank.
Commodore Stanton had been specially
selected for this post of duty, because
he was considered to possess in pre-
eminent degree those qualifications of
coolness and discretion which fitted him to
deal with the revolutionary conditions
prevailing ia the various countries 10
which his assignment ould naturally call
him. As one Of the highest officers in
the service, who, himself probably in
fuenced in no small degree Commodore
Stautons appointment, remarked to day.
This matter is as much a surprise to
me as a slap in the face would be %

urder consideration the payment Of
claims for buildings blown down by
the recent heRvy storms, their charter

A BIG FIND.
Fl. b. stevens Valuable Discovery on
the Desert.


III. b. Stevens Valuable Discovery on
the Desert.
[San Bernardino Times.1
News reached this city today that one
of the most important mineral discover
les ever made in the State had been
located in the Calico mountains by
Hugh B. Stevens. 1t Is q vast deposit
of borate of line, from which borax and
boracic acid are extracted.
The discovery was made on the south
side of the mountains, and Ia a continue
ton OF the deposit owned and now being
worked by the Borate Mining Company,
which is located on the north side Of the
mountains. The new discovery is two
and one-half miles from the old deposit,
but is continuation of it. The ledge
comes through the mountains horizon
tally. except as effected by their comfor-
nation.
Mr.. Stevens has discovered one de-
posit of thirty-five acres in area and one
hundred feet thick, besides several
smaller bodies. The formation on top
of the borate is a loose porphyry, while
the foot wall is clay. In many places
the water has washed away the hanging
wall, leaving the borate exposed.
Imagination runs rife in contemplating
the value Of this discovery. The Borate
Mining Company's claim is justly re-
garded as one of the most valuable pro-
perties in the State, and yet its deposit
does not begin to equal in richness or
extent the body OF the mineral just dis
covered by Stevens. There is ready
market for the product at $50 per ton.
Mr.. Steeens' discovery will make him
several times millionaire.
Hngh B. Stevens lie one OF the best
known prospectors ON the Pacific coast.
He was one of the first to prospect the
Calico district and located number OF
valuable mining claims which he sold.
