WORK At MARE ISLAND,
The MonadnoCk Waiting for
the Arrival of Her
Steel Rifles.
New FIans Being Drafted for the
Widening Of the Big
Stone Dock.

VALLEJO, CAL, July 14.--The new
monitor Monadnock has been hauled up
under the big shears. This is partly to
make room in the vicinity of the iron-plat-
ing shop and stone dock for the Adams
and partly as preparation for the arrival
of the four 10-inch steel rifles, two Of
which go into each turret. These guns are
of particularly fine workmanship and are
as fine as the Washington navy yard has
yet turned out. There is still much to be
done on the monitor, but it would not
take long to finish it up if the yard people
could get the guns.
The top armor of the turrets has been
lying here long time, as has also the hy-
draulic and electrical apparatus which will
operate the guns; but things are at a
standstill awaiting their arrival. The rifles
will have to be LITE d by the shears into po-
sition in the turrets, and suspended there
until the hydraulic pumps, cushions, ETC.,
system of electric lights, signals, tele-
phones and firing batteries then remain to
be run connecting the coming tower and
turrets.
Should the Swatura be selected by Gov
ernor Budd as the Naval Reserve vessel it
will be necessary to build her a complete
set OF boats. This is another reason why
some think the Governor will find her
selection too expensive. The boatshop has
the lines OF her old boats and could get
them out quickly If necessary.
An inquiry from the Mare Island au-
thorities has developed the fact that the
plans for the widening of the stone dock
entrance have not been completed yet.
From an officer it is learned that the de-
partment had plans for this work some
time ago. They contemplated the broad
ening OF the entrance to width to accom-
modate the Iowa of our navy, but lately

CRATER OF MOUNT TACOMA
The Mountain Climbers Report
That No Change Has Taken
Place in 1t.

TRAVER, CAL, July 14.-Claude Arm
strong, the young man upon whose head
there rests charge of highway robbery,
will have another charge to answer to if he
ever comes within the arm of the law.
Last night about dusk he came through
the outskirts of town on horseback and
stopped at his fathers residence. Officers
Bertkins and Martin were notified, and
they proceeded to the house to make the
arrest. Armstrong, seeing them approach
ing, sprang on his horse and darted up the
road. Bertkins fired at him as he re-
treated, and the young man returned the
fire, in his excitement seeming to take no
thought of the fact that his parents stood
close by the officers. Several shots were
exchanged, none taking effect. Bertkins
started in pursuit, but it being almost dark
he concluded to postpone his search until
morning.
Armstrong is charged with having held
up sheepherder near here three weeks
ago. His supposed accomplice, Ben Bar
low, was tried and acquitted of the crime
in the Hanford court.

FRUITS OF SANTA CLARA,
Scarcity of the Dried Apricot
Product Predicted by
Good judges.
The Outlook for the Present Year
Much Better Than for
That Passed.

SAN JOSE, CAL, July 14.-Colonel Philo
Hersey, president of the County Fruit Ex-
change, yesterday in an interview SAID:
Extensive sales of apricots for canning
have been made recently for from $27 so to
$35 per ton, according to size and quality.
For drying purposes from $27 so to $50 have
been offered.
''No quotations have yet been made for
peaches. A number of large sales have
been made, but the figures have not been
made public. One sale made during the
past week involved not less than 1000
pounds.
The second bulletin of the Santa Clara
County Fruit Exchange, issued July Il,
has the following on crop prospects, "The
outloo k for 1895 is much better than it was
for 1884. We believe the market will be
more active and confident, Sales can be
made more promptly, and prices, while not
high, viii be frmer and less fuctuating.
"Apricots viii be very scarce as dried
product. Good judges estimate the output
of the State at only one-fourth of that of
last year. We believe this estimate COR
rect. Gamers have bought very freely.
The prices paid have tempted those who
usually dry to sell green.
"The peach product will be about one
fourth less than last season, as the late
varieties in many places are very light and
frost has injured others. While apricots
green have sold from $50 to $50, the price
of peaches has not been established, but
will vary from SIC to SIS, according to
quality and kind.
"Prunes are the same in quantity as last
year, and If we can be spared the hot wave
OF last August it is thought they will ay-
erage one size larger. This. however, can
not be determined at this early date.
AS the French are reported 10000, 900
pounds short of last year, 1t is expected
that our product will all be required and
if the usual conditions of trade are recog-
nized, we shall hope to obtain living
price for our product and to have steady
trade and healthy consumptive demand.
Offers of SIS have been made for green
prunes, but we have heard of no sales.
The associations are prepared to do good
and prompt work. and it will be for the in
terest of the fruit industry generally to
give them our complete and hearty sup
port.
''The Exchange, with increased facilities
for combining and grading, expects to
overcome the delay caused by the number
less individual lots which it became neces-
sarY to consign and await the action of the
far off commission house. Prompt bnsi-
ness methods will be used and ready re-
turns made to the contributor"

MOUNT rAcomA,s CRATER.

No Change, as Reported Last Winter,
Has Taken Place.
TACOMA, WASH, July 14.-F. W. Haw-
kins and Frank A. Fredsricks, members of
the Mout Tacoma climbing party. returned
in advance of the main body to-day.
They reached the summit on the morn
ing of the 10th, and remained until the
morning of the 18th, sleeping two nights
in the crater.
On the eth strong northeast wind blew
smoke from Eastern Washington so as to
obscure the view of the other peaks. Dur
ing the 10th, day signals were to be made.
Mounts Adams, Hood and st. Helens could
be occasionally seen. The heliograph was
flashed at Mount Adams several hours, but
no reply was received.
An attempt was made to send car
rier-pigeons from the summit but they re-
fused to fly. This was the first party this
year to reach the summit.
Regarding last winters story that part
of the peak had dropped out of sight. the
party says there is no truth in it. The
snow about the crater has been depressed
about hundred feet below last years
level, but no other change has taken place.

ORDERS FOR The OLYMPIA
To Relieve the Flagship Balti-
more on the ASiatiC
Station.
1t VIII Be by Far the Finest
Cruiser In the Chinese
Waters.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July lathe
Navy Department has issued orders for
departure Of the Olympia from San Fran
cisco to relieve the flagship Baltimore on the
Aslatic station by the middle of August,
the latter returning home after an abb
sence of over two years for necess sary re-
pairs to hull and machinery. Admiral
Carpenter has protested against the with
drawal of the Baltimore, and believes that
the station should be increased by the
addition of some other vessels. The
Baltimore, however, has been abroad
since the naval review, and the terms of
many OF her men have expired and they
wish to return home.
The Olympia will undoubtedly be the
finest flagship ever seen in Chinese waters.
No warship of Great Britain or Russia, it
is claimed, ever attached to the station
equals the Olympia, either in speed or
general efficiency. OF the cruiser type, she
is admitted by all naval experts to be ahead
of anything of her class, and will prove
the most powerful flagship the United
States has been represented by in Chinese
waters.
Before the close OF the summer is is ex.
pected than one, and possibly two, of the
vessels on the station will be ordered home
for overhauling.
The Petrol has been on the station for
number of years, and will come to San
Francisco for few months, while the Con-
cord is also slated, it is said, for home
waters again. 1t is not the purpose, how
ever, of the Navy Department to decrease
the strength of the feet in China, as it is
believed that affairs In that part of the
world will continue to remain in an unset
tied state for number of years yet.
The statement that China will soon begin
a reorganization Of her navy is accepted
here as an indication that affairs in both
China and Japan will bear close watching.
80 Close observers of the situation contend
that is will not be many years before China
Will attempt to regain her lost laurels and
that her first step to this end will be in the
rehabilitation of her navy.
Three gunboats intended for this station
are now building at Newport News and
when commissioned will be Immediately
assigned to this duty. The Baltimore's
return will be followed by her assignment
to the Pacific station for the relief of the
Philadelphia as flagship. The latter yes
sci is now undergoing repairs at Mare
Island.

Po,Uer From Folsom.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, July 4-To-day
hundreds of horsepower are coming
steadily into this city from Folsom over
the wires of the Sacramento Electric Power
and Light Company, from it's great water
power plant on the American River.
Engineer Blackwell, who is here repre-
senting the General Electric Company,
which installed the plant, is delighted with
the success of the enterprise, which is all
that its promoters had hoped for and
more too.
The lines of wire over which the power
is transmitted are twenty-five miles in
length; and the loss in transmission is but
ten per cent. But one generator is now
running, though there are two 1000 horse
power generators in place and two more
are to be put in.
The electric streetcar system of the city
Is now being operated by this power, with
several hundred horsepower to spare al
ready. In few weeks electricity will en-
tirely supplant steam in Sacramento, at a
saving of more than one-third to those
using machinery of any sort, This is the
longest transmission OF electric power in
the world.
