THE RAWHIDE CANNON.
Wonderful Invention That is Being Tested
at Sandy Hook.

A cannon made chiefly of rswhide has been
subjected to official tests by the Ordnance
Board of the United States Army at the prov
ing grounds at Sandy Hook. The gun consists
of an inner tube of steel, around which are
wound strips of rswhide. The thickness of
the wrapping depends entirely upon the charge
that the gun is intended to carry. The adj
vantages claimed for the gun are lightness and
strength.
The construction of the gun is shown in the
cut. b indicates casing of rawhide. The
rawhide is subjected to a number of processes
before wrapping. In winding the strips of
rawhide about the core cement is used which,
it is claimed, will cause the layers to adhere
firmly. The winding continues until the
brcech is encssed flush with the top of the first
collar or band a. The wrapping is then con-
tinued over the entire surface until the entire
gun is covered to the required thickness. When
turned down to the required shape, a steel cap
c, having groove and rabbet, C, is fitted
tightly over the breech portion of the thus far
completed gun, and a steel shell, d. conforming
to the taper of the forward portion of the gun

The Canoncus, a sister ship, having the

Catskill and Lehigh were built by john Erics-

latter in Chester, Pa. They have length Of

snugly within the groove rabbot over the
cap where they are secured together. The
cap is provided with the usual trunnions.
In place of The rawhide shell there may
be provided a rawhide casing with wire
jacket A few other minor changes may also
be made in the construction of tho gun.
The gun stood the tests well, and a pressure
of sc, 1896 pounds to the square inch did not in
juro the casing in the least. The gun Was not
a largo one, being only we feet eight inches
long. The caliber was two and one-half inches

Old Monitors to be Removed to
League Island.

Those relics of the civil war; the single tur-
reted monitors that have been rusEng TO pieces
In the James River near Richmond, are to be
taken TO tue League Island Nayy-yard, and an
attempt will be made TO restore them TO some
thing like their original condition. Every one
OF them has seen active service, and their sides
arc full of the dents made by rebel shot and
shell Time and environment have been even
harder on them than the Confederate guns, for
salt water has corroded their bottoms, and the
rust has eaten into their plates.
In their present condition the monitors
would take months to fit up for action, and
they have cost tho Government large sums of
money to keep them even in their present con-
dition of disability Protests have recently
been made against their removal from Rich
mond, but the Secretary of the Navy, after
fully considering the matter, has announced
that they must be taken TO League Island,
where they can be economically kept in repair
aud held in readiness for an emergency, in
stead of being maintained uselessly where
they are.

sdelphia will lie towed there by some of the big
Government tugs. Once at League Island they
will be anchored in the back channel, aud will
probably be utilized for training purposes both
for the regular service and for the Naval Re-
serves.
Commander James N. Forsyth has been as
signed TO the charge Of the League Island
6avy-yard. 70 him will fall the task of super
intending tho proposed removal. There arc
already four monitors at League Island. the
RshUnt, the M0Dtauk, the Jason and the Man

NOR turrets and has just gone out OF commits
sion, having been recently on the North At

feet broad aud was built by John Roach, at
Chester, Pa, in 1874.
The three others date from the same time as
those now in the james River. They have the
same measurements AS the Caiskill and the

Ericsson at Brooklyn; the Nshant by Harri-

the decomposition of the gelatinons

Joints, and thus causes the local
manifestations of the disease. The

THE MINES AROUND US.
A Very Important Move Toward Max
 lnn. Them Known

A Very Important Move Toward Mak-
 ing Them Known.
 At the meeting of the board of supervisors last night, Orick Jack son, the recently appointed Terri torisl Immigration Commissioner for Yavapai county, submitted his commission to that body for the purpose of having these officials take action on the provisions of the law that was passed by the late leg isIature. The board were very gen. erously inclined, recognizing in the law many admirable features which if followed out within the meaning and intent of 1t, will result in pub lie good and at expense that will be simply trifling.
 Recognizing above all others, the prominence of the country around Prescott as a mining field, the new commissioner has wisely decided to undertake the task of making the mineral resources the subject of his initial publication, dealing exhaus- lively and impartially with the sub feet. Every mine that is blessed with prosperity, will be considered no more fayorably than that which has a good showing" back of it.. The desire is to make known to the thousands of anxious enquirers on the "outsIde" the adaptability of this section to mineral pursuits and the inducements open in this "haf prospectedn cline. The work to be undertaken will differ from any heretofore given the public and is relieved of the proposition wherein individual expense is requested. No charge whatever is to be asked, on the other hand everything is to be issued gratis. A pretty feature of the enterprise will be the elegance of the illustrations, which feature will be the more appreciated when seen in centers outside of Arizona, where Prescott is still known as but a frontier settlement. The benefits of systematic and persistent adver- tising are clearly given in the prom thence to-day of our sister city, Phenix, and there is no apparent reason why this favored section in its make of mining, timber, agricul. tural and above all it's climatic feat ures, should not be known by the people everywhere. Following the mining edition, commercial issue will be given, illustrating also var ious points throughout the county, Miners performing work on their claims, or knowing of anything of interest in their calling, are re- auested to consult the above person if not previously seen.
