New York, June 29.-Fathoms deep

the American schooner ADpia and

men, who barely escaped with their
lives from the burning vessel just ar
rived here on the Mallory liner Concho.
The Appia and Amelia sailed out of the
port of Pacasoula. Miss, June 3, bound
for this port. Lumber filled every avail
able space below decks and il was piled
high on her decks. When fire broke out
near the after hatch, June Is, Captain
Willard was determined to save the
schooner if possible. and while three

them drenched with water drawn from
the sea. 1t was all in vain, however,
for the flames crepI along the decks

that the schooner was doomed, and the
long boat hanging from the stern
davits was hastily provisioned. With

Rich Nevada Ore.

Last week II. II. Beck assayed two
and one-half ounces of Olinghouse can
yon ore and obtained a button of gold
about the size of a silver scent piece.
says the Reno Journal. If a ton of ore
could be found that would produce as
much gold in proportion as did the two
and one-haf ounces that Mr. Beck
worked, it would yield about $40 000
The ore was not an especially selected
sample but was taken from pile of
rich ore and picked up with other sam
Piles in order to obtain a general aver
age of the rock. Mr.. Beck also during
his visit to the mines took some ore
that the miners claimed was rich. but
Mr.. Beck laughingly told them that he
would not give a dollar. or some such
price for a mountain of it. The miners
insisted on him testing it, and he took
a small quantity. pounded il up in a
mortar at the mine and horned it out
He says the results were simply as
tonishing and for while he could
hardly believe that things were all
right and thought that the boys had
put I'D a Joke on him. He found out
subsequently that although the ore APP
pearerd worthless, vet it carried fine
gold to a wonderful extent. Mr.. Beck
says he is not DESTROYS of creating any
excitement and would much prefer that
people take the opinion of others as re-
CARDS the prospect, but cannot help adj
hitting surprise at what he has seen
and believes the district to be very rich
in gold

Frisco, Utah, June 21.-Eight feet OF

Of waste. The average value of the ore
alone is 1913 per cent copper. Samples

greatest expectations of the owners
will be realized.
Rev. 5. G. Adams of the True Fis-
sure Gold and Copper Mining company
arrived in the district Saturday with a
force of men to prosecute work on the
ground owned by the company. The
property of this company lies near A
g. CamDhell's o. K. mine and from
veins within its limits have been Sc
cured some very high assays in gold
and silver as well as copper.
The Morrison Bros. are said to be
working on the Wasatch claim and ex-
tracing some very high grade lead ore.
The owners of the Gelena and Chlor-
ide claims expect to file Incorporation

will let contract for 80 feet of work
from the bottom of the present shaft
as soon as men are found to take it.
The Horn Silver shaft is being
pushed towards the interior of the
earth and energetic prospecting is also
being done on the lower levels. The
output of this mine continues as regu-
larry as it has for the past 20 years.
