on the inside for amalgamating purposes
are SO arranged as to be taken out and
replaced without raising the stamps.
The mill will also be arranged for auto
matte feeding, thereby lessening the ex-
pense of a feeder Tables below each
stamp battery for amalgamating use will
be the same as have been in general use
here for several years. One Of the ad-
vantages Of the mill is that it will crush
double the amount of ore now crushed
in the present mills, and at the same
time will amalgamate the gold to
higher percentage. One of these mills
of 20. stamp capacity is now in successful
operation at Cripple Creek by the Sum
nit Gold Mining and Milling company.
1t is known as the Hendrie & Bolthoff
improved stamp mill. Concentration
tables will be used in connection with
the stamps to separate the mineral from
the gangue or Shines as it passes off the
lgamating tables.

China Lost Three Ships.

SHANGHAI, July 81, 10 p. M.--News has
Just reached here of a desperate battle
between the fleets Of China and Japan,
in which the Chinese were defeated and
the Chen Yuen, the largest battleship but
one in the Chinese service, was sunk and
two other large Chinese vessels, said to
be tirst-class cruisers, captured or de-
stroyed.
The battle was hotly contested, but the
Japanese appear to have handled their
guns. ships and torpedoes with nlore skill
than the Chinese. The Chinese fleet en-
gagged carried nearly 1000 men and a
large number are reported killed or
drowned.
Later dispatches say few, if any, of the
Chinese engaged in the battle escaped.
Two German officers in command of the
Chen Yuen are reported to have met
death with the crew.

Emma Mac Makes Winning.
WAsH1NGToN, D. c., July 1G, 1884,
Within the last two weeks we are in re-
ceipt of number Of letters stating that
Representative Oates, Of Alabama. now
candidate for governor of that state, has
repeatedly made the statement that the
government is coming silver at the pres
ent time. This morning we are in receipt
OF the following telegram

Vocates showing silver dollars mintage '94. Wire
al my expense how issued. JAS r. MAXWELL
With the assistance of Congressman
Pence, who dictated the following letter
to the director Of the mint, we tried to
secure positive information whether the
government has or is coming any silver
dollars at the present time:
House OF REPRESENTATIVES,
WASHINGTON, D. G., July l6, 1894.
HON X. f. PRESTON, Director OF the Mint:
DEAR SIR: am informed that the statement
~
by stump speakers that silver dollars were being
coined, or had been coined, by the government
during this year 1894. am advised that certain
parties are pretending to display silver dollars
bearing date 1894. VIII you please kindly inform
me whether silver dollars have been coined dur
ing this year by the government at its mnts and,
II So how many? viii thank you for full infor-
nation. Yours very trnlv
LAFE PENCE, NJ C.
10 this communication came the fol-
lowing reply from the director of the
mint:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, BUREAU OF THE MINT, J
WASHINGTON, D. G., July l6, 1884.
HON. LAFE PENCE, House of Representatives:
SIR: In reply to your letter Of current date you
are informed that the number of silver dollars
coined during the first six months of the present
calendar year was GOA pieces, all proof pieces. All
OF these pieces were coined at tue Philadelphia
mint. Respectfully yours, R. E. PRESTON.
Director of the Mint.
From this it appears that Mr.. Oates has
secured a few pieces coined as souvenirs
and is exhibiting the same to the people
OF Alabama as proof that the present ad-
ministration is coming the silver pur-
chased under the silver act. Any party
driven to such deception in trying to
bunco the people with few pieces of
newly coined silver ought to sink into
the depths of obscurity. Can fraud and
deception go farther than this? After
demonetizing silver, then refusing to
coin the seisniora@e, they are trying to
beguile and mislead honest voters by
coming a few pieces to be used on the
stump by a few political bunco steerers!

The National Park has been visited
with another earthquake, says the Iiy-
inyston Post. The seismic disturbance
shook the earth for miles around Norris
Geyser basin, and the shock was plainly
heard for a distance Of twelve miles. Sim
ultaneously with the earthquake came the
eruption Of all the geysers in the Norris
basin district. Those who were privi-
legged to gaze upon the scene will never
forget the occasion. Mingled with the
noise produced by the eruption of the
numerous geysers there was the rumbling
of the earthquake, and finally, before the
vibrations of the earth had entirely
ceased. a new crater geyser broke forth
with terrible fury. The geyser went off
with a report like the booming of a can
non, rocks weighing twenty-five pounds
were hurled 200 feet high, steam rose
fully 800 feet and accompanying the ter
rifle eruption was a roar equalling the
combined exhaust of a thousand locomo-
tives. The noise was distinctly heard at
Mammoth Hot Springs, nearly twenty
miles distant. The new geyser, as we'll
as the old ones, played for hours, and it
is said that the crater produced by the
seismic disturbance surpasses any geyser
in action in the whole weird and wonder
full National Park region.

That Old, Old Litigation.

Theo. Fox has filed an amended com
plant against the directors Of the Con
solidated California & Virginia mine,
naming Jno. W. Mackay. .]no. ?. Jones,
c. H. Fish, G. r. Wells and Con O'Connor,
| asking for himself and other stockholders
about $4,5OO,0OO. twill be remembered
that some time ago Judge Hebbard gave
judgment for S1,000,0O0 in the case of
NJ. w. Fox VS.. the Hale & Norcross Min
ing company, which is now on appeal to
the supreme court. The plaintiff in the
present suit brings almost similar charges
against Messrs. Mackay and Jones and
the late Mr.. Flood, charging that CON
spiracy existed among these three men
by which he and other stockholders were
defrauded. He alleges that they cot in
just the kind of directors they wanted
who i'll May, 'S5, gave Jones exclusive
right to the working of certain parts Of
the mine for three years, which he did
for a year, and then took $4,000 from

had issued to them 33,309 shares Of stock
for one dollar Il share, which, he says,
were afterward worth in open market

milling business comes in for share of
the complaint. Fox charges that the
Comstock Mill y Mining company owned
and controlled by Mackay, Jones and
Flood, in crushing and milling Consoli-
dated California Il Virginia ore, over
charged and defrauded him and his asso-
ciates in this suit to the amount of

he says should cost but ST. There are
other allegations in the complaint that
have been heard before, being a part of

FIGHTING FOR COREA
JAPAN AND CHINA GO TO WAR OVER
THE COVETED TERRITORY.

Only the Most NIeagre News Obtainab1c,
Battles Have Been Fought in Which
China Was Badly Worsted.
LONDON, July 27,-A dispatch from
Shanghai confirms the announcement
that war between China and Japan has
been declared. Hugh Mathieson & Co.,
the Chinese governments agents in Eng
land, have received message which also
confirms the announcement. Both Chi
nese and Japanese ministers say they
have not been officially informed that
war has been declared. They also claim
anese have captured the king OF Corea.
The immediate cause of the declaration
Of war is said to be the fact that the
japanese attacked the Chinese trans
ports conveying troops to Corea. 1t is
believed a number Of Chinese ships have
been sunk by japanese cruisers. Tele-
graphic communication has twice been
completely interrupted beyond Magasaki,
Japan, and all messages have been de-
layed. If the treaty ports remain open,
England expects to make a large profit
out Of the war; while the fact that Russia
is directly or Indirectly giving assistance
to Japan is likely to place perpetual
stop upon Russia's trade progress with
China. e.. w@~~ ~.
a dispatch from Tien Tsin says: While
no formal declaration of war, according
to the usual diplomatic forms has been
made, the governments of both China
and Japan recognize that an actual state
Of war exists and more collisions are cx-
pected hourly. The general opinion
seems to be that while Japan may be
looked upon as likely to score the first
victories, the Chinese troops eventually
will drive the japanese out of Corea,
even if millions Of people have to be sent
to the front.
The British and United States war
ships at Chemulpo have landed detach-
ments Of marines at Seoul in order to
protect the legations. At Seoul CON
tlct is said to have occurred between the
japanese and some Chinese and Corean
soldiers, the japanese being victorious
Shortly afterwards the Japanese made a
prisoner of the king of COrea, and, it is
said, have sent him to Japan, where he
will remain till the war is over. Rumor
also has it that Wednesday japanese
cruiser sank Chinese cruiser conveying
q transport.

A Boom for the Little Rockies.

A mining stampede based on recent
ree-milling gold discoveries in the Little
Rockies in the northern part of the state
is on the tapis. The formation OF the
district is combination of porphyry and
limestone. One Of the properties there,
the Whitehead, shows 4 considerable
body Of ore at a depth of only twelve
feet that will average $500. A townsite,
called Landusky, has been laid out and
all the usual preparations are being
made for y genuine mining boom. Part
OF the district is on the Belknap reserva-
ton and consequently cannot be pros
pected, though some rich leads are known
to be on the forbidden ground.
