erntinE Smoothly.

Mining and Milling company, came in
from the camp last evening and re-
ports that everything Is operating
smoothly at both the mill and the
mines. The usual number of tons of
ore are being put through the plant

oeen made for the past two weeks, but
ANOTHER is now ready and will prob
ably go out within the next few days.
a dispatch received yesterday from
the owners of the new process of re-

being sent out here for the purpose Of
putting in the proposed plant, left
Boulder on Friday afternoon and
would be in readiness for active work
on Monday morning. 1t is the inten-
tlon OF the Mercur people to rush the
construction of this plant with all the
haste possible in order that the treat

not have to be effected in the east
much longer.

down 40 feet. and the quality of the
ore is now improving. Mr.. Mount will
soon take up the matter of treatment,
and decide whether or not he wishes
to put up srnelter for the reduction
of the ores taken from the properties.
These are most peculiar deposits. and
for years have been walked over by
prospectors. none of whom realized for
one moment that under them were e1-
tensive veins of silver-lead ores which
would pay handsomely for the develop
ment. The present owner is working TO
secure an average lead content of in
the neighborhood of Is per cent.

Honorine Mill Operating.

Good reports continue to be received
from the Honorine. The concentration
is hard at work on the low grade ores
taken from the property in driving

some time ago and shipments of the
products are regular. Up to yesterday
the shaft being sent down from the
tunnel level had reached a depth of
just 100 feet. 1t is going down in the
hard formation and when the proper
depth is reached the prosecuting will
commence for the purpose of cutting
the ore bodies below.

| offer to occupy the chair Of refractlon
from an eastern optical college, and in
consequence will be in Salt Lake but
a. short time longer. Those who wish
to avail themselves of his skill should
do so at once as he will not remain

cases and given excellent satisfaction,

improving their sight, some, through
the medium of glasses. have been re-
lieved from headache, smarting and
infiamed lids, a feeling of sand in the
eye accompanied by burning sensa-
tions, and various other nervous sensa-
lions.
His ability is beyond question or else
the following prominent citizens would
not indorse his work. If you have any
trouble with your eyes. suffer from
headache, see him at once, as you may
not soon again have the chance Of con-
sulting such good authority. an ounce
of prevention is worth a pound Of cure.
The following are a few prominent
people of the many that have been
benefited by DR.. Shelmerdine's work:

OF INTEREST TO MANAGERS
OF PLANTATIONS.

A Model Plant is not complete without
Electric Power, thus dispensing with
small engines.
Why not generate your power from oac
CENTRAL Station? One generator can
furnish power to your Pumps, Centri-
fugals, Elevators, PowS, Railways and
HOSTS; also furnish light and power fos
4 radius OF from / to 20 miles.
Electric Power being used saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with high-price6
engineers, and only have one engine te
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available it costs
nothing to generate Electric Power.
THE HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY
is now ready to furnish Electric Plants
and Generators OF all descriptions at short
notice, and also has on hand a large
stock of Wire, Chandeliers and all EIec-
triCal Goods.

interesting Tests at the Naval Proving
Grounds at Indian Head.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-There were
several interesting tests at the naval
proving grounds at Indian Head to-day.
First came all acceptance test of a semi
piercing thirteen-inch shell, carrying
large explosive charge. and representing
lot Of fifty such shells. This was re-
qulred TO pierce seven-ipch nickel steel
plate, and carry it's burst charge through
in condition to explode on the other side.
The shell tested to-day was of the Ster-
ling type, and completely met the condi-
tions imposed. 1t was made of forged
steel, and penetrated the plate without
sensible reformation or fracture Of the
shell.
Next came a test of fixed ammunition
Tor slX-inch rapid-tire gun, the largest
gun Of this type intended for naval use.
The shells were made by the Winchester
arms works. and functioned perfectly.
\ few days ago some tests were made
OF tho service percussion fuse for shells
OF the hYe-lnch guns when fired at two
inch steel armor plates. The fuse was
then carried through the plates before eX-
ploding.
There were further experiments to-day
TO settle au important point that had been
LETT unsettled, namely, the distance that
the shells carried beyond the plate before
exploding. plate was supported on
piles over the water; behind this stalk es
were placed at intervals of six feet, and
an observer was stationed to one side to
note where the explosion occurred. 1t
was seen that the shells, after perforating
the plates, burst at distances ranging
from ten TO thirteen feet in the rear This
was exactly what was wanted as it in
sures the explosion of the shell in the in
| terror of a ship, if it gets through its

Johnson searched diligently but the
coin refused to be found.
''If you can't find it, never mind. Get
that telegram off and send Robert here.D
Robert, one of the banks messengers.
came in, and was told to find the cent.
He got under the desk, and removing the
thick fur rug, made a search after the
missing coin without success.
"Well," exclaimed the President test
lily, ''get light"
A candle was brought, and after third
attempt the penny was discovered, and
was handed 10 the President. who
dropped it into his pocket without a
word. Just then a customer came in.
"Ah, good morning, MIR. Jones,n said

"Why, certainly. sir. cortainIv Tho

The next morning the head bookkeeper
of the bank sauntered jauntily down to
the correspondence department, took a
cent from his pocket, tossed it on the
mail clerks desk, and asked for penny
stamp. The coin twirled merry dance
on the desk, then rolling off, plunged
into the waste paper basket and was lost
to view.
"Confound it." exclaimed the book
keeper, after poking among the papers a
few times, II can't bother with such a
small thing as that" Producing another
penny he got his stamp and walked OFF.
