Text Of the Proposition He Has Made
 to the People of Yavapai.

MT. James s. Best has submitted the following proposition to the business and mining men of Prescott and Yav- apai county:
 Gentlemen: After considerable thought and investigation with a view of erecting a reduction plant in Pres colt, Arizona, and visit to the differ ent mining camps, and noting the diff ferent characteristics of the various ores. I have concluded that the process formerly had and mentioned by me on my previous visit to your city, would not be such a process that could be utilized to advantage in the reduc- tion of the various ores tributary to your city of Prescott, and in consider ation of these facts and conditions, have secured the sole right for the erection of the latest improved Calcin- ing and smelting process, viz, the Cli- max comb bined Calciner and shelter.
 This plant is of such mechanism and combined construction, that it will treat and reduce to bullion a ma jority of the ores that would be avail able to a plant erected aI this point I have disposed of any interest have been possessed of in the Beam pro- cess, and hereafter am interested in smelling process pure and simple.
 ''The process of smeltlng and the erection of a smelting plant, will in my judgment be the only process that can be successfully operated on these ores
 My proposition is that the citizens of this county secure by subscription, as an inducement for the erection of such a described plant in Prescott, a subsidy or bonus of the value of twen- ty-five thousand dollars-the value of a smelting site to be deducted from the above amount-said amount to be paid in the manner following:
 Three thousands dollars S30O0) when said plant is completed.
 And the balance, less the value of the land constituting the smelting site, in six (6) months from time of the active operation of said plant
 'The smelting plant snail be local or custom plant for the purchase and reduction of various ores. It shall be located where a majority Of the citi- zens desire, consistent with transpor- tation and other advantages The rates of smelting charges shall be less than points in Colorado, New Mexico or Texas.
 'In consideration of the bonus sub scribed and paid as above stipulated. it shall be agreed that no other smelt- CT of this kind shall be erected in op- position anywhere in the above men toned county
 'The purchase of ores for this plant shall be those of the present methods. and paid for upon the usual market quotations"

Another argu- ment advanced by the board is that if the beam of our new battleships is in- creased, they can't enter the dry docks. There are only two modern dry docks on the Atlantic coast, any way. Several are authorized. They can be made wide enough. We must have fast ships.-Minneapo Journal.

examination Of the prospective recruits
began it's labors at o'clock this morning
and worked hard during the day. The
total number of men Of Company e exam
ined by the board was 1923, and of these
Al were rejected.
In the case of Company A, of which "A
men were passed by the board, the COM
plement was Immediately made up from
the emergency rolls.
In Company F, III men were examined,
9S accepted and 81 rejetced.
Company G presented LOG for examina-
ton. OF this number 81 were accepted
and % rejected.
It is thought that all the companies will
have been mustered into service by noon
tomorrow.
1t was Captain Carrington's intention to
muster in the companies today as each one
completed its quota after the physical ex-
animation, but he decided last night to
wait until all the companies are ready and
then the regiment will be mustered in as
whole. This will be done, according 70
present calculations, some time tomorrow
morning between 10 o'clock and noon. The
regiment will then march to the Preside,
headed by its band, and the first California
volunteers will be a reality.
AS soon as the regiment Of infantry is
formally organized, Dohermann will draw
upon the government quartermaster's
stores for such equipments as will be nec-
essary to complete the outfit of the twelve
companies.
Captain A. ]. Kelleher and First Lieu
tenant F. w. Dohermann of the First in
fantry regiment who were today by spec
ial order from Washington assigned to the
duties of adjutant and quartermaster re-
spectively of the First regiment of Califor-
mia volunteers, were this morning formally
sworn into service by Captain Carring-

Charleston Commissioned

VALLEJO, Cal, May 5.-The United
States cruiser Charleston was formally
placed in commission today, and her crew
of 200 men, with 30 marines, are now on
board. Immediately upon the arrival of
the steamer City of Peking at San Fran
cisco, she will be brought to the Mare Is
land navy yard and docked. 1t is stated
that she is to take 1000 tons of coal, be-
sides large quantities of ammunition and
provisions, to Manila. When the Pekin
reaches the Philippines she may be trans
formed into a hospital ship.
An order was issued to yard foremen this
morning, calling for volunteer machinists,
shipfitters, coppersmiths and blacksmiths
to go to the Philippines on the Pekin and
repair our damaged warships.
Assistant Naval Constructor Capps has
been detached from the Union Iron works
and ordered to go in charge Of the men.

ances for the repair Of the vessels will be

ular excited indignation, that ascribing to
Admiral Kirkland at Mare Island the re-
ceipt of telegram from Commodore
Dewey describing the terrible mortality of
his own fleet resulting from the battle of
Manila. Captain Crowninshield, Chief of
the Navigation Bureau, declared that it
was utterly impossible for news from the
fleet to come in such fashion, and added
that, as the departments facilities for the
receipt of information from Commodore
Dewey's squadron were superior to those
of any individual, 1t was utterly improba-
BILE that they could receive news before the
department itself. Dispatches such as
that complained Of were cruel and sense
less and inflicted great misery on wives,
mothers and daughters and other rela-
tives of the brave soldiers of this fleet who
are anxiously waiting to hear from them.
The officials have about concluded that
there Is little prospect Of receiving news
from Commodore Dewey directly during
the day, though there Is possibility that a
merchant vessel may reach Hong Kong
from the Philippines bringing some news
of the battle and subsequent events at Ma
nila. 1t is practically settled that the cable
cannot be relied upon as means of COM
munication, as it is believed to be cut In
shore somewhere between its landing
place in the Island of Luzon, Point Bolinao,
and Manila, and beyond the reach Of Com .
modore Dewey at this time.
The situation Is about as follows:
The latest authentic and direct news
from Manila showed that Dewey subdued
the Spanish fleet and made his demand for
the surrender of Manila through the Brit
ish Consul some time Sunday. He at the
same time gave notice of bombardment, to
begin Monday afternoon. Presuming that
a dispatch boat sailed at the earliest mo-
ment after the bombardment Monday
evening, and allowing three days for
passage, the ship is not due at Hong Kong
or Mrs Bay until tonight. 1t is already
tonight by our time in either place, and
possibly the McCulloch, or some dispatch
boat, is just entering the harbor. Other
delays would occur before receipt of a
cable here through the many relay sta
tions, SO that it is thought there is little
chance Of official news coming in during
the daylight hours.
There need be no apprehension on the
part Of the public that any news that -
received from Commodore Dewey will be
withheld from it, Secretary Long has
stated in the most positive manner that
he regards it as his duty to make the peo-
pie acquainted with the facts as soon as
he knows them. He believes this is only
just to relatives and friends of the sailors
of Dewey'S fleet. Therefore the many
statements and rumors that are constant
ly circulated to the effect that the Navy
Department has received mysterious ca
Diagrams from Hong Kong which it has
concealed may be set down as pure moon
shine.

Walter Wellman will start Tuesday On
another expedition In an endsavor to

determine the fate Of Andree, who has not
been heard from since two days after he
stepped into his balloon. Mr.. Wsllman

the officers Of the National 0soGrephieal
society, William X. Vanderbilt, ]. Pier

June 18th he is to meet at Tromsoe. Nor

ton; Professor James H. Gort Of the Co.

with well equipped crew, dogs. sledsss.

sail for the Arctic regions on June 3oth
on the steam ice steamer Trit5of.
Mr., Wellman, who was at the Giley
house today, said;
st am extremely hopeful that this ex-
pedition will be more successful than our
last, when we reached 81 degrees Is min
utes north Of Spitxbergen. and then met
with disaster. We were absent about
eight months. This time we expect to re-
main west eighteen months. In my juds-
ment, after leaving Archansel. Russia.
where we are to gather seventy-hve dogs.
we will proceed direct to Frans Joseph
Land.
.sWhiie taking observations there We
shall try to hunt Andree. II he Is alive. I
believe he is near there. ~

July 18th or August 1st. and establish
supply station. We expect to pass the
winter between parallels 50 and SS in huts.
now and then, however. running about on
snow shoes, training our dogs and testing
our equipments. West February 10th
we propose to start north over the ice.
Contrary to the popular idea, even at the
north pole, the summer Is too warm for
good travelling, because the power Of the
sun constantly shining makes the snow
soft and slushy, and renders It difficult
to drag the sledges. The favorable sea-
son, therefore, lasts from early in Febru-
ary to early in June, period Of about six
teen weeks. 1t is for this sixteen weeks
our plans have been laid, carrying just
enough PROVISIONS to take us through
June.
'"The distance from our winter station to
the pole will be about five hundred statute
miles, or a round trip Of about one thou
sand miles. If we are able to cover from
nine to ten miles a day. and keep everlast-
ingly at it, we may do the whole thing. In
my judgment we are going finely outftted
on a sound plan. and we shall have q
big chance to reach or approach near the
pole. and solve what is known as the Aro-
tic problem. At any rate, we expect to be
back home q year from next fall.'

tice. Swift auxiliary cruisers are cruising
the ocean in search Of the Spanish fleet
These facts all point to the theory that
there is to be union of the armored ships
under Admiral Sampson with those under
Commodore Schley at point in the ocean
previously agreed upon, and that the
scouts are to report to them there the
location and direction of the Spanish
ships. 1t is not believed to be possible that
the Spanish ships will be able to avoid all
of the scouting vessels.
AS soon as Real Admiral Sampson learns
the whereabouts of the Spanish fleet and
the direction in which it is sailing. he can
get under way to intercept 1t, throwing his
scouts out in front so as to coven a wide
expanse Of sea and following with his ar
mored vessels in line of battle and ready
to give fight as soon as they come in con-
tact with the enemy.
Opinions differ somewhat in naval cir
cles as to the destination of the Spanish
fleet. Many naval officers can scarcely
conceive it to be possible that the Spanish
admiral would be so rash as to bring his
vessels within reach Of such an over
whelming force as that which Rear Ad-
wiral Sampson could bring against him.
They believe that IL he has held west
erly course, he counts on being able to
reach Porto Rico and get his vessels safely
into the harbor Of San Juan before he can
be attacked by an overwhelmingly large
American force. When he left st. Vincent
the American force was divided Rear
Admiral Sampson apparently was fully
occupied with the blockade Of Cuban ports,
and the only vessels available to be sent
against him were those under Commodore
Schley.
Sigsbee in Command
PHILADELPHIA, May 5.-The big aux
iliary cruiser st. Paul, with Captain Sigs-
be on the bridge, left Cramps ship yard
at 8:20 o'clock this morning and steamed
down the Delaware river to League Is
land Navy Yard, where she dropped
anchor. The reception that the crew and
Captain Sigsbee received was truly mag
nificent. On the shore crowds Of people
were congregated cheering as the st.
Paul majestically sailed down.
Contrary to the announcement at
Cramps shipyard that the st. Paul would
stop at League island navy yard for am
munition, the big cruiser proceeded
straight down the Delaware river and ar
chored at Deep Water point, near New
Castle, Delaware. 1t is presumed that the
st. Paul will take her ammunition in the
Delaware bay Off Bombay hook at the
same time she receives her coal.
The alleged Spanish spy who was caught
on the st. Paul late Tuesday night was put
ashore at Cramps shipyard just before the
cruiser sailed. The evidence against him
was not deemed sufficient and he was re-
leased.
