The Naval Appropriation bill for the
next fiscal year will contain the most lib
eral allowance for the increase of the
navy carried by any bill since the war.
The cost OF this addition to the navy will
be $27 900 600. -Four battleships and
fifteen torpedo boats was the decision OF
the committee ON the question Of new
vessels. The democrats fought hNd to
secure six battleships, but the republi-
cans stood well together and carried their
point.
The four battleships will be OF 1000
tons each, and the cost is not to exceed
1890, 900 for each, exclusive OF arna-
ment, which is thought to be an ample
provision, as other ships OF the same
class have been built in recent years well
within that figure.
Five of the torpedo boats are to have a
soeed Of twenty-six knots, and are to cost
within $3.50, COO each the other ten are
to have speed OF twenty knots, and
their cost limit is 100000 each. The
places where the ships and torpedo boats
are to be built were left undecided. The
new craft will be built by contract and
the Navy Department is left free to ex-
pend as much OF the appropriation as it
needs in the next fiscal year.

A MOUNTAIN SHELTER
A Tacoma Mans Invention For Roast
Ing Ores.
SAYS IT WILL LESSEN The COST
A Smeiter That Can Be Butt ut
Little Cost--Capacity Twenty
Five Tons OF Ore Daiiy-Can be
Hull, in Remote Districts.

Charles Bishop, a well known Taco
man, has recently invented a smelter for
fusing ordinary mineral ores, for the pun
pose of separating the precious metal
from the extraneous substances, which
he claims will greatly lessen The cost of
production OF all roasting ores, especially
where the mines are not near large smel-
tiers, says the News. Mr.. Bishop calls
his invention the Mountain Smelter, be-
cause he says, it is small and can be built
at the mouth of any mine even though
situated in the most remote mountainous
district. The ordinary outer size OF the
new smelter, which is constructed in the
shape OF conical frustrum, is IL feet
high, six feet in diameter al the top, and
ten feet in diameter at the bottom. The
strong outer wall of the frustrum is built
of stone. In the centre OF the frustrum
is flue three and one-half feet wide at
the top and tapering down to the width
of two and one-half feet near the bottom
where crate is fixed about four feet from
the base. The flue is lined with fire
brick. The CRATE in the bottom stands
at an angle of about As degrees aud is
made of hollow piping through which a
stream OF water is constantly forced to
keep the CRATE cool and prevent it being
clogged with molten matter. Below the
CRATE is chamber in which the melted ore
falls. A pipe leads from the chamber to
the outside of the frustrum, where little
cylinder is placed to catch the molten
metal as it flows from the chamber. The
liquid ore ia dipped out at the cylinder.
As in other smelters, the fire is built in
the fiue and the crude ore dumped into
the flames in methodical way. AS the
melting progresses the mass in the fiue
continually sinks, the fused metal drop.
ping through the CRATE into the chamber
before mentioned, and the dross or Stag
sliding down the inclined CRATE and
through an opening in the side OF the
wall and into a waste box. The furnace
is fitted with draft pipes in about the
centre Of the hue and also with pipes for
making a strong blast upon the ore il de.
sired.
Mr.. Bishop is quite enthusiastic over
his invention, for which he has applied
for a patent. He says "The smelter
can be erected any place the material can
be carried and at a cost not to exceed
$4,000 to the miner, including the inven-
tors royalty or profit. The smelter will
work from 10 to % tons OF ore day and
the cost of the whole days operation of
the plant will not exceed $3.50 or SO.
The miner with asmall capital can now
erect him small smelter and If he has
ore assaying from $40 ton upwards he
will make money.

The story that has come out about the
origin Of Ballington Booths quarrel with
his father, will, II verified, have an i'll
effect upon American confidence in Sal
walton Army methods. II is charged that
General Booth demanded that large
amount Of money, raised in this country
and set aside for the relief of sick or su-
perannuated soldiers OF the American
corps, be sent to London for army pur-
poses there. Commander Booth would
not agree to the transfer and the attempt
to remove him followed.
1t would be interesting to know wheth-
er the Booth-Tuckers, who are coming to
the United States to take control of the
army's affairs. have been ordered to de-
liver these funds to the British headquar-
ters, and, if SO, whether a like policy is to
be followed with respect to further dona-
tions. What the Salvation Army collects
in the way of money, food and clothing
here is given for the benefit OF the Ameri-
can Door and not for the use OF Darkest
London. II it is to be diverted to Eng
lish channels, while tens OF thousands of
people in this country are living in mis-
cry, crime and want, then the sooner the
stream OF American charity is turned in
another direction than General Booths
New York collection agency the better

Boundary Creek NRinIug District.

Included in what is Familiarity spoken
of as the Boundary Creek district is that
portion OF British Columbia which claims
the North Fork OF Kettle river as its east
ern boundary, Ingraham Creek as its
western boundary and extending north
some 10 miles from the international
boundary embracing roughly an area OF
some 800 square miles. The district is
reached from Spokane by railroad to
Marcus, thence via stage in northwest
ernly direction distance of fifty miles to
the heart of the camp. The recorders
Office is located at Midway. Although
mineral claims were located as early as
1896, development progressed slowly, ow-
ing to distance from railroad and lack of
roads on which to carry in adequate ma
ehnery. However, this difficulty has
been obviated, good wagon roads lead in
to the camps, with the assurance that
the district will have railroad connection
with the outside world at an early date.
The coming season will witness large
amount of necessary machinery taken in,
which will permit of development work
going on much more extensively.

THE WEALTH OE CRIPPLE CREEK.
Plenty of Gold I'm sight but People
Dying By Scores From
rneuns OuIa.

An ex-newspaper man and great trav-
eler named Watson, tells the Oiympian
the following regarding the now world
famous mining camp:
'The wealth of Cripple Creek cannot
be exaggerated. 1t is without doubt the
greatest mining camp of the world, and
it is bound to be permanent. was
down in one mine where there is $50 ,000,-
600 worth of gold ore in sight. The sole
owner of the mine was with me. He
has standing wager that he can take
out a million dollars in twenty-four hours.
| asked him why he didn't get the gold
out. He replied that he had no use for
it, 1t was better IN mine than in a
bank and at present he was simply tek-
ing out pocket money"
"What do you call pocket money!"
swell, sixty thousand a week or such
matter"
II say the camp is bound to be perma-
nent because of the fact that it is the his
tory OF that region that the mines become
better as they are worked deeper"
"Now regarding the wonderful growth
OF population of Cripple Creek, | think
it can be illustrated by one instance. A
friend OF mine in New York, a ticket
agent, wrote me that in one day he sold
4,ll5 tickets to Cripple Creek. Excursion
trains arrive there daily. 1t is a very
billy place and the hillsides are all dotted
with tents. In the hotels the Hobbies are
all full OF gambling devices only very
small space being allowed for office room.

Ezra Meeker is contemplating a trip to
Japan in May in hopes Of opening up
new market for Washington hops. The
Meekers have plowed up one field OF "A
acres of hops this year, and they expect
to cultivate but two fifths Of their entire
acreage.
On Sunday E. F. Benson paid a visit
to the Prosser and Sunnyside districts
where he is interested as owner or agent
OF six orchards consisting OF nearly one
hundred acres. He reports that the trees
wintered well and that in one young or
chard, where the trees were planted late
last fall, not to exceed two per cent. were
winter-killed.
The spraying Of fruit trees is still being
prosecuted and there are now few or
chards which have not received the regu-
lation wash. Assistant Fruit Inspector
Chas. Lee is greatly pleased with the re-
suit of his efforts and the readiness with
which his notifications have been gener-
ally observed. Chief Inspector Maxey,
of ElIensburg, is expected here in few
days when the law will be dealt out to
those who have not complied with the
instructions.

The Treating HABIT.

There has been introduced into the
Ohio legislature bill to "discourage the
drink habit" which provides for the inn
position of fine on those who treat, or
offer to treat, another person to an intoxi-
eating drink. One half of the fine goes
to the informer and prosecuting witness
and the other half to the school fund.
This would be an excellent law were it
not an invasion on personal rights and
did it not have a tendency to encourage
q class OF sneaks and spoilers The
browning evil among those addicted to
drink is the treating" habit and ii this
effect than all .of the sumptuary legisla-
ton that has ever been attempted. The
drinker goes to the saloon to satisfy very
moderate desire; to quench thirst that
would have been content with a single
glass, he meets q number of friends and
it is treat and treat about, and inebriety
follows. No self-respecting man will
plant himself before public bar and fill
up without the encouragement OF boon
companions. This should be discouraged
if possible. The trouble with temper
ance reformers has always been that they
will maks no concessions. In the advo-
cacy OF their cause, the merit Of which
none will question, they are adament.
They will swerve neither to the right nor
to the left for partial advantage. The
object at which they aim must be secur-
ed in it's entirety. for nothing less will
they accept. As result the war goes on
and the liquor interests thrives on the
obstinancy of its antagonists.
