A STEAMER SUNK.

Detroit, Mich, July 24.-The steamer
Edward Smith No. 2 was run into and
sunk by Lake st. Clair, near the Flats,
this afternoon, by the schooner Auran-
ia in tow of the propeller Aurora. The

channel and sunk her. The Aurania
was badly damaged about the bow.
The crew and a pleasure party on beard
the Smith were rescued without acct
dent and sent to the Old Club. The
Smith is owned by John Mitchell, of
Cleveland, and valued at $65,OOO The
Aurania is the property of Corrigan,
OF Cleveland, and valued at $3.50 900.
Details are very meagre, none of the
crew having arrived here.

RANaA's GoLD-BUG COMMISSION,

gress.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July N.-Chair-
man Hugh H Hanna, of the Monetary
Commission, has prepared q, statement
addressed to-. the business men, setting
forth the results OF the work of the COM
mission during the last session of Com
gress. He says:
'.The present status OF the undertaking
to secure a. comprehensive currency law
is encouraging beyond what was expec-
ted. In truth the remarkably prompt APP
probation Of the value of organized effort
and the realization that the opportunity
is at hand has resulted In very crafty
ing progress.
THE bin as finally agreed upon ard re-
ported to the House has been very gen.
orally approved by almost every one sup
porting the effort to accomplish compre-
hensive monetary legislation. The bill
includes all of the vital elements recon-
mendef by the monetary commission, but
the detail of method differs in some re-
spects radically. On the whole, the bill
reported by the commission is greater
step in the right direction than the bus
iness men of the country had reason to
EXPECT would be secured at this early
stage in the progress of the work.
THE passage of this bill will be the be-
ginning of law for the best currency in
the world.
ITO measure the present condition 1t Is
only necessary to say that there is every
reason to believe that the President and
all the leading administration Republic
can Senators and Congressman and the
15O members of the House who signed
the petition now stand united in support
of the general principles of the commit
tees bill. There is every reason to be-
,eve that Mr.. Reed will be an earnest
advocate of monetary legislation

AsPHALTUM DEPOSITS.
A New Survey Throws Them All In
the Umcompahgre Reservation.


The Herald is informed of an inn
portant event which is liable to cause
the greatest CONSERVATION in the ranks
Of holders and claimants of asphaltum
mines hitherto supposed to be located
outside of the boundaries of the In
cOmpahgre reservation in Uintah coun-
ty, this state.
This is nothing less than the fact that
a reSurvey has been made of a portion
of the west line of the reservation, I'M
der orders from the commissioner of
the general land office, which survey
has been officially approved and is now
on file in the United States land office
in this city, and according to which the
boundary line has been established two
miles further west than where it was
supposed to be, thus taking in all of
the asphaltum deposits which were be-
lieved to be outside of the reservation
limits.
This resurvey, and the establishment
of a new boundary line is sure to work
a hardship upon those who have located
asphaltum claims in that section in
good faith, and is almost sure to lead
to litigation, as among the properties
thrown into the reservation limits by
this late survey are patented claims, to
which the owners hold government
titles, while, upon other properties
much development work has been done
and extensive improvements made, in
Guiding buildings and houses, and as
it has never been clear as to where the
original lines were, owing to inability
TO find government monuments as
phaltum claimants certainly have a
kick coming, and a vigorous one at
that, because of this tardy action of the
government, which has already ordered
claim holders and claim-owners to get
off the reservation"

The Four Aces.

While the management of the Four
Aces is reticent regarding the condition
OF this property, it is learned from a
gentleman who is just in from Silver
City that the showing in the mine fully
Justifies the interest taken of late by
mining share investors in this pros
pective bonanza, as The Herald's in
formant states that in the bottom Of
the 6OO-foot shaft in the mine, there is
two-foot body of solid mineral ex-
posed, while the indications are that
with greater depth a splendid body Of
shipping ore will be uncovered.
The ore now being hoisted, it is claim
ed, will carry average values of Sc per
cent lead and SO ounces in silver to the
ton, while picked samples assay as high
as IS per cent lead and 120 ounces in
silver.
1t is understood that residents of Sill
yer City who are familiar with the
condition of the Four Aces are sending
in orders for the purchase of stock.

The Exchange Donation.

Before the call of the mining ex-
change yesterday morning Secretary C.
E. Hudson called the attention of the
members to the fact that the board had
voted the sum of $50 to the subscrip-
ton for the international mining con-
gress, which is to convene in this city
in July next, the donation to be paid
out of any available fund to the credit
of the exchange.
At that time the exchange was short
of cash, but now, the exchequer being
in better condition, he asked for au-
thority to send in a check for the
amount specified, which request was
granted by a unanimous vote.
Secretary Hudson also presented for
the consideration of the brokers two
communications from Secretary w. d.
Johnson of the mining congress, in one
of which the information was conveyed
to the effect that the ladies' of the CITY
were perfecting arrangements for an
entertainment, to be rendered the wives
daughters and sweethearts of the visit
ing delegates, and the suggestion was
made by the writer that the exchange.
or its members, make some such pro-
vision for the entertainment of the
delegates.
The subject was referred to the gov
erning board of the exchange for con-
sideration.
In the second communication the ex
change was informed that the organ
ization was entitled to send five dele
gates to the congress, and by unani-
nous consent this matter was also re-
ferred to the governing board, which
will doubtless make the required an
pointments in due time

HARB0R FILLED WITH MINES
OF THE DEFENSES
AT SANTIAGO.
Few Modern Guns In the Batteries
Eight Thousand Spanish Troops
at Santiago, All Well Armed.

New York, June 4.-Louis Duany has
arrived in this city from jamaica He
left Santiago de Cuba on May 70. He
does not, believe that Cervera's fleet
is at Santiago, and he says: Il think
that CerVera fleet may have been con-
fused with five Spanish boats which
were in the harbor when 1 left. These
were FL Reina Mercedes, a secOnd-class
cruiser; Ell Condo Bena and Ell Mar
quis de Molin, auxiliary cruisers, with
heavy guns, and two gunboats, Ell San
doval and La Estrella-
The cruiser Reina Mercedes is dis
abled, her boilers having broken down,
and she was lying just inside the en-
trance to the harbOr Her guns were
removed to the Qualifications.
The Spaniards laid few mines last
winter, but on May the work began
on a large scale. I saw men at this
work in the harbor for some time after
ward. and about 20 mines have been
laid altogether. The first line Of six
mines is laid directly across the mouth
of the harbor from MORO Castle to
the buoy which marks the shallow wa
ter line near La Socapa, the fortress
opposite. Directly behind the first
mines are lines of four and three mines
each, so that the entrance TO the har-
Dor is well laid with mines. The other
mines are, all along the ship channel
for six miles to the docks. The mines
are ali connected by wires with the
shore.
Il visited all of the forts, and 1 am
sure that the only modern guns in use
are those taken from the cruiser Reina
Mercedes. There are two of these guns
at Moro and the others are at La
Socapa and Punta aorda.
There are 100 soldiers at Morro 80
at La SOcapa, 80 at Punta Gorda and
100 at Punta Blanca. The principal
magazine is at Ell Polivan. The SOL
diers at the forts are we'll armed and
equipped, but 1 do not believe that
they are good gunners: at least, L
never saw them practice during my
stay Of eight months. There are $4,000
troops in the province of Santiago I'M
der the command of General Pando,
and 5000 in the city of Santiago and
outlying towns, under the command of
General Toval and General Lilares.
They are well ordered troops and we'll
armed
Mr.. Duany said that there was a
supply of 1000 tons of coal at Santiago
when he left. Fresh meat was very

Easy Mining For Pin Money.

To secure some desired information
direct from the people, it is proposed
to send a trim little box containing 3
gold dollars TO each Of 80 persons who
write the most interesting description
of their experience and observation on
the following topics:
How have you been affected by Cot
fee drinking?
Do you know any one who has been
driven away from Postum because it
came to the table weak and character
less at the first trial?
Did you set such person right re-
garding the easy way to make Postum
clear, black and with a crisp, pungent
taste?
Have you ever discovered a better
way to make it than to note the clock
at the time actual boiling commences
(not when pot is first put on stove),
and keep it boiling moderately for full
10 minutes, using two heaplng tea
spoonsful for each cup of beverage?
Gives names and account of those
you know to have been cured or helped
in health by the dismissal of coffee
and the daily use of the Food Coffee
in its place.
Address your letter TO the Postum
Cereal Co., Linn, Battle Creek, Mich,
writing your own name and address
clearly.
Decision will be made and the 80 lit
tie boxes of gold sent out on June 80,
next.
Every friend of Postum is urged to
write, and each letter will be held in
high esteem by the company, as an evil
dence of such friendship, while the lit
tie boxes OF gold will reach many

letter contains the facts desired, al

faith in winning at the time of writ

based on a group of three claims To-
Gated in Carr. Fork Gulch, Bingham,
which are known as the Cuba, the
Akron and the Silver Belt, and develop
ments of late in this valuable prop
erty have disclosed fine bodies of ore,
the average value of which is about 10
per cent "copper" while the mineral runs
well in it's gold and silver contents, the
ledge, according to all accounts, being
four feet in width, while it has been
exposed for a distance of 40 feet.
The gentlemen above named nave
been working the Cuba for the past
three months. and now have on the
dump at the mine a lot of high grade
copper sulphides, which will be placed
on the market as soon as the roads
become passable, while the develop
ment of the property will now be push

and business circles in this city and
Mercur, three of them being in the en-
ploy of Captain j. r. De Lamar in the
operation of the Golden Gate at Mercur,
Mr.. McVichie being superintendent of
the Golden Gate mine while Mr.. Jack
lin is metallurgist at the mill.

it is safe to. predict that it will make
a most creditable record for itself in
the very near future

FAKE STORIES ABOUT CABLES
ALL LINES CUT, FOR THE
'STEENTH TIME.
to This Yarn, All Cables
Were Cut June 8, Although Com
munication Has Not Been Stopped.

Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press)
Off Santiago de Cuba, June 8. p. m.
per the Associated Press Boat Wan
da, via Kingston, June D.-The last
cable strands binding Cuba to the
outside world were cut this afternoon
by cable vessel conveyed here by the
United States dispatch gunboat Dol
phin. This black sea crab delved all
day along the coast, hour by hour, and
its claws at length brought up the
barnacle-clustered cable strands and
snapped them, and tonight Cuba is
wholly isolated.
The first cable picked up was that
running to Kingston. 1t was found
early this morning. The coast loop
connecting Santiago and Guantanamo
was then cut. Proceeding to Guam
tanamo, the cable vessel finally Crap
pied and severed the Haytien cable.
This ends the cable-cutting operations
begun a month ago, when the Marble
head and the Window lost five men
in a fight off Cienfuegos. where three
cables were crippled and several hun
dred Spaniards were killed by shells
from the warships
Afterwards the ST Louis and the
Wampatucket cut the San Juan de
Porto Rico cable.
Inc strands cut today were the only
ones remaining, except a few coast
loops, and these Will probably be sew
cred in a short time. The cutting of
these cables is almost as serious for
the Spaniards in coast towns as the
cutting of foreign cables, the land
wires connecting the coast towns being
wholly at the mercy of the insurgents.
in the event of Ameri an
troops landing in Cuba, the absence
of the coast loops will seriously inter
fere with the hasty mobilization of the
Spanish troops.
The United States & Hayti Cable
company and the Commercial Cable
company have not been notified of any
of the service, and they
were still accepting messages this
for Cuba
