was left off and the line completed
through to San Francisco.
A horizontal line from Sioux City
west would strike Pocatello. All
the way through Wyoming the line
surveyed averages distance of 100
miles north of the Union Pacific
and in this State would tap rich
livestock regions, coal, asbestos,
iron and unlimited quantities, some
fine oil fields and the soda of Du-
pont lake.
The road comes into Ogden south
westerly through Ogden canyon and
from there takes the lake shore and
enters Salt Lake.
From Salt Lake the line goes
westward, passing the two beach
resorts, and from Garfield in a
southwesterly direction, cutting off
the southern end of the Great Amer
lean desert. 1t strikes Ibapah and
Deep Creek.
Further westward, in Nevada, it
touches Austin and crosses the
Southern Pacific at Reno and over
into California by Oroville, crossing
the Sierras by the celebrated Beck
with pass, where no snow sheds are
required.
Under the reorganization a new
construction company will be in
corporated in Wyoming and called
the Wyoming Construction com :
pany, and new interpretations will
be formed in all the States affected.

why Mines onered are Not sold.

A great many of those who have
mines to sell in this country claim
that it is not true that there is much
capital seeking investment in that
direction. Yet there is a demand
for all the mines that are offered in
proper shape and at reasonable
prices. The great trouble with those
who have mines to sell-both own
ers and promoters-is that they do
not have their properties opened up
to show whether they are of real
value or not; or, if they do, do not
have them properly examined and
sampled so as to give prospective
purchasers some guarantee that
they are more than mere prospects
This is especially noticeable in Cal
ifornia, where as much is often ask
ed for a prospect as for developed
mine, simply because the prospect
is we'll located They do not ap-
preciate the fact that mining is be-
ing conducted on more business
like basis than it was decade ago.
A very small amount of work in
developing will often make show
ing that will enable a mine owner
to ask enough to repay him many
times over True, little work will
often spoil very good prospect,
but the owner must learn that he
has to deal with business men who
are not buying prospects. Mining

Pecullarities Of viper's Hood

The opinion has prevailed among
scientists that the viper which re-
sists inoculations of it's own venom
was exempt because it was accus-
toned to the poison. They have
found that the blood contains the
same poisonous qualities as the
venom itself, and from this drew
the conclusion. But it has been
discovered that in addition to the
poison the blood contains another
substance that neutralizes the toxic
principle. To ascertain the effects
of heat upon the poison, portion
of viper's blood was heated to 5S8
c., and maintained at this tempera-
ture for a quarter of an hour,
Guinea pigs inoculated with this
blood not only did not die but were
proof against inoculations of fresh

Grafton in the cabinet meeting yester-
day. The report Of the agent sent to
Hogansville by the postof1ice depart
ment to make an investigation was
presented by Postmaster General Gary
and discussed by the cabinet. The re-
port showed that the postmaster was
not at all disnayed by the course
events have taken, and was fully de-
termined not to yield up his position
because of the prejudice against him
on account Of his color: No action was
taken for the present, the president
hoping that the calmer judgment of
the people of Hogansville will prevail
and the new appointee be permitted to
continue the duties Of his position
without molestation.

The Novel Expedition Under Lieu-
tenant Commander Kimball.
ALL NOW READY FOR THE START.

VIII Cruise From New York Along
the Coast to Galveston, and In the
Spring win Continue Up the Mis-
sissippi to st. Louis.
Washington. Sept. %. - Lieutenant
Commander Kimball has received from
Acting Secretary Roosevelt his final
instructions for the government Of his
movements of the torpedo boat fiotilla
and all is now ready for the start of
this novel expedition. Heretofore sin
gle boats have practiced. but never be-
fore has there been anything in this
country like the school of torpedo boats
that will be gathered under Lieutenant
Commander kimball for practice on
large scale and under service condi-
tions of the maneuvers that the boats
must undergo In time of war.
The start will be made Oct. l from
New York, with five bqats-the Foote,
the Porter, the Dupont, the Ericsson
and the Gushing. If any of the boats
are unable to start at that date they
will follow along ana catch up with
the flotilla at the earliest opportunity.
The commander will take his way down
the coast stopping here and there for
week OF two, at his discretion. He
will explore the coast waters ard learn
the character of tactics best adapted
to them, whether operations should be
conducted in shore or off shore, de-
pendent upon the locality whether
there are harbors that might serve to
hot he
big enough to admit battleships, and
in fact all information that is needed
for the guarding Of the coast with such
boats as he commands.
The maneuvers at first will be of the
simplest character, such as working
out the new theory of search curves
by which vessel may be intercepted
with the least amount Of searching.
Then the qualities Of the various boats
will be developed in all kinds of
weather. There are several types of
craft in the hotilla, and 1t is desired
that their good and bad points be
shown for use in future designing. 1t
is fully expected that under this strain
there will be breakdowns in each AMI
all of the boats, and 1t is for the pur-
pose of learning and curing these de-
fects that the maneuvers are designed.
The British government had bad luck
in starting d fleet OF torpedo destroyers
for foreign port, every one coming
back to port on the first attempt and
it is desired that our boats be made
safe against such accidents, if possible,
by actual tests.
Heretofore all torpedo practice has
been in still water, with targets sta
tionary. Night drills will be held, and
the boats will be made to rendezvous
at appointed places in the darkest
weather.
In this work the fotilla will work
slowly along the coast until it reaches
the gulf. 1t will go to Galveston, and
then, when the spring tides come, as
many of the boats as can make the
trip will be sent up the Mississippi
river as far as it is regarded safe for
them to go, probably up to st. Louis.
AT the end 1t is hoped that Inc tlotila,
composed though it is of boats not
Of the very latest type all around, will
still thanks to thorough drill, be as
formidable ilotilla as there is afloat,
and most valuable adjunct TO the
navy.
