New York, Jan. 22.-The thrce-mast-
cd schooner Nahum Chaplin of Rock
land. Me-, coal laden from Baltimore
for Boston went ashore near Quogue,
l.. l., early yesterday morning
and her entire crew of nlno men were
lost in sight of hundreds of people who
had gathered on the beach, but were
powerless to render aid,
The vessel went ashore at 400 am
At that hour there was a thick rain
falling and while it was not foggy
there was a mist sufficient to make
objects very indistinct at a distance of
200 yards. The wind was blowing
from the southwest at a velocity of
about thirty miles an hour and a surf
was rolling upon the beach, The yes
sci pounded for over two hours after
she first struck and the waves drove
her gradually in shore and she finally
went to pieces, crumbling before the
fury of the mighty waves as if she
were an egg shell.
About 6 O'Clock Capt Charles Her.
man OF the Quogue life saving station,
assisted by his men, brought their APP
paratus from the house opposite the
wrecked vessel, but when they shot out
their life line it was too late to be of
any service. The sailors were from the
moment that the patrolman sighted the
schooner were in the rigging and drop
ped off one by one into the seething
waters and soon after one Of the bodies
that of big swarthy Swede, was wash
ed ashore.
The life savers worked manfully;
their first line fired from the mortar
fell across the yard but slipped away
over the side and was lost The sec
ond landed in the rigging, but the sail
ors were unable to secure it and it was
also lost A third attempt was also
Intellectual and then the crowd of viii
layers who followed on the beach saw
the last man fall from the rigging and
disappear in the surf, which at this
time was running unusually high
The life saving crew made an at
tempt to launch life boat but were
repealed each time by the breakers, and
although bystanders encouraged the
brave fellows in every possible manner,
the hardy savers, who are noted for
their bravery, had to desist after strug-
Cling half frenziod by the sight of their
fellows being drowned within such a
short distance OF shore, and pushed
the boat high upon the beach.
There were in all nine men in the
Inflated vessel. 1t was generally sup
posed that the first body washed in
was the captain or the first mate.
Three hours after she first struck
the schooner went to pieces, up to
noCn when the fury of the waves had
abated somewhat, no more bodies were
sighted There is no doubt all on
board persisted.

San Francisco. Cal, Jan. 2O.-One CT
the boilers of the French steamer Sag
halien exploded while the vessel was
OFF the Chinese coast on Dec. 2, bound
from Singapore for Hong Kong.
Eleven stokers in the fire room and
one of the engineers were killed in
stantly by the explosion or by scalding
steam. The chief stoker was so badly
injured that he died few hours after
ward, and four other flremen died the
next day, and for time there was the
widest confusion on board, but none
of them were injured.
Among the passengers were three en-
glneers and twenty stollers OF the
French navy, and they volunteered to
remedy the damage. Within day they
had the engine so far repaired that the
vessel was able to run six miles an
hour, and few days later she drop
ped anchor at Saigow. The dead fire.

Birmingham, Ala, Jan. 22.-Since
the first Of January there has been a
marked increase in the tide of immi
grafton. This movement extends from
the Ohio river on the gulf, 1t is lin
tied to no particular section, but the
majority of home-keepcrs appear to be
locating in Northern Alabama, Georgia
and Tennessee. The new settlers come
principally from the northwest. The
practical result of this colonization is
manifested in various sections. Trade
organizations are giving particular at
tention to this business, and it is evil
dent that there will soon be united ac
ton in the south looking to close the
relations with the northwest. An as
sociation of leading business men of
this city, Admission, Montgomery,
Nashville and other points, has just
arranged for a permanent southern
bureau in Chicago. An Office will be
opened at the Great Northern hotel,
Chicago. 1t is proposed to cooperate
in promoting the Tennessee centen-
NAL, which will attract many people
to the south. Arrangements have been
made 70 make the Chicago offices the
headquarters for advertising the south
and drawing the attention Of the bust
ness men of the northwest to the
value and Importance Of more extern
sive commercial and industrial rela-
lions with the south.

Seattle. Wash, Nov 2O.-The most
serious damage done by the recent

The company has recently been Teor-
Ganized, increased its capital and is
now in position to resume operations
and prosecute the development of its
mines with greater vigor than ever
before.
The original company was composed
of miners and mechanics and was in
corporated under the laws Of Montana.
The cash capital did not exceed 81, 800

sessments were levied, but the law
under which the company was incor-

DREDGE MINING.
Idea of the Operations to Be Carried
On in the Basin.


The following, a dispatch from Hell
ena, Mon, to the Spokane Spokesman
Review, gives an idea of the possibili-
ties of dredSe mining, and is of par
tlcular interest here in view of the fact
that one OF the companies mentioned
IS that same that is arranging for ex
tensive dredge operations in the Basin.
The dredges operating in Grasshop-
per creek at BannOck, the scene. of the
early gold excitement in Montana
made some phenomenal clean-ups dur
ing the season just closed. Three
dredges have been in operation. con-

At the opex.

President ?. j. Donohue, of the Opex,
at Mammoth, is feeling considerably
encouraged over the showing in the
mine. and he states that drifting has
been begun On a 12-foot assure that
was encountered in the cross cut run
from the bottom of the 500-foot shaft
This fissure is running directly towards
the Centennial Eureka mine, on the
other side of the divide, and is heavily
mineralized, the indications being that
at almost any time the ore body may
be encountered.
The late agreement made between the
Opex people and the owners of the Ten
nessee Reble on the west, where joint
work will be done in the exploration
of the two properties, will most likely
result in the finding of something good
in consequence of which the Opex peo-
pie are feeling more sanguine than ever
of ultimate success.
Mr. DOnOhue is also feeling good over
the fact that he has just been notified
that the Big -Four Mining company, of
Leadville, adjoining the Little Johnny
has just declared a ten cent dividend
and as he has block of this stock he
will join in with the balance of the
shareholders in the rejoicing that al
ways follows the declaring of a divi-
dend.

woRKING TnR GOLD BUG.
VIII Push Operations on This Silver
ado Canvo41 Prone1-tv.

From w. J. Seaman, who is in from
Ophir district, it is learned that the
Gold Bug Mining company, which is
the owner of d valuable and promising
group of claims in Silverado canyon
not far from the Northern Light, has
perfected arrangements for extensive
work this winter in the development of
its property.
In the way of prospecting work the
company some time ago drove an in
cline tunnel, exposing a body of good
milling ore, but in order to get at this
to better advantage and also to open
the ground in more thorough manner
a working shaft is now being started
about $50 feet up the hill from the
mouth of the incline and this will be
sunk as fast as a force of eight men
can do the work.
The company has just finished the
erection of a commodious living house
bfsedeS shaft house and other out
buildings, and everything is in excel
lent shape for successful work during
the coming winter.
Mr.. Seaman has the contract for
work on the Monarch ground, adjoln-
ing. and he states that this property
which IS owned by a Salt Lake com
pany, gives promise of developing into
a steady and heavy producer.

4. S, Dav. the efficient secretary of
the Black Diamond company, whose
property IS located at Stockton. has
just returned from making an exam
nation of this mine. il which an i'm
portant strike was made a week or so
ago, and he confirms the truth of these
reports and states that in the drift in
the east and west vein The face of the
tunnel is in a fine body OF Sood pay ore,
the deposit being from four 10 six feet
IN width, the mineral being a fine lead
carbonate and carrying average values
of $50 to the ton in lead and silver
Still, 1t is not believed that the main
body has been encountered as yet and
it is the prevailing opinion that it is a
matter of only few feet more before
the juncture Of the north and south and
the east and west veins will be reached
at which point is is expected an i'm
mense chimney of very high grade ore
will be disclosed. and the indications
are so favorable that there is hardly
any doubt but that these hopes and
expectations will be realized at an
early day.
