accounts of delay with the treaty on
account of the Maine disaster The
Minister mentions that one of the as
sumptions of the situation is that in
case of war these islands would be
made a base of supplies by the United
States fleet operating in the Pacific.
A bill has been introduced in the
Hawaiian Senate to authorize the con-
struction of a cable by the Pacific
Gable Company, known as the Scrym-
ser Company, whose bill in Congress
was f,yorably reported on by a COM
mittee Of the House several weeks ago.
The bill gives the exclusive cable

Government should acquire possession
of the whole of the Waipo Peninsula,
comprising 500, acres of land, If sta
tion is to be located at Pearl Harbor.
The price of the land as held by its pres
ent owners is a fictitious one, and un-
less improvements are made in Pearl
Harbor the value would be probably less
than $50 per acre.
Secretary Long recommends that
Reckoning Point be selected as site for
the contemplated station, on account of
it's proximity to East Loeb, which has
the largest anchorage, as drydocks may
be easily built, and as there is ample
room for space to dock and unlock YES
sels of any size. He believes that the
harbor can be dredged to a depth Of
thirty feet. as in Honolulu, and within
the estimated sum of $685.

SOME PROBLEMS OF THE WAR
CONDITION AND PERSONNEL OF
THE TWO NAVIES.
Spain's Point of Superiority, Her
Torpedo Fleet-In ALI Other Re-
spects, Uncle Sam Has Advantage

London, April 2S.-W. Laird Cloves,
the naval critic. has written a long ar
ticle entitled Some of the Problems
of the War; in which he says:
SPANS most noteworthy point Of
superiority lies in her torpedo fiotilla,
but the Spanish boats are nearly all
old, and it is feared, in rather bad or
der. Battleships cannot be improvised
or quickly built, while torpedo boats
can be adapted or constructed in
short time. Therefore, it is worth bear
ing in mind that in these material ele-
mentS which it is least easy to create,
the United States has superiority from
the first.
There is more difference in the per-
sonnels of the two navies. 1 do not
hesitate to say that the natural, as well
as the acquired qualifications of the
American naval officers, are miles
ahead of those of the Spanish. Indeed,
there is no room for comparison More
over, the American naval officers have
steadily faced and carefully studied the
problems which they are now graphing
with, while the Spaniards have shirked
the disagreeable subject.
Concerning the men. a casual OBJ
server is liable to be woefully mistaken.
Americans do it with an intelligence
and go, to which the Spaniards are
absolutely strangers. Spain cannot af
ford to essay an organized or formal
attack upon the United States coast.
THE Almiranto Oquendo might she'll
Savannah or Wilmington, but 1t would
be foolish to try the experiment, which
could have no possible influence upon
the course of the war. A regular naval
bombardment of New York, Boston or
Philadelphia is out of the question, be-
cause Spain cannot afford to risk her
ships against the guns behind the
earthworks or in the water where they
could not fail to be torpedoed. The dis
ablement Of a Spanish ship off Boston
or New York would mean her total
loss. Further, Spain cannot permit her
fleet to engage in any kind of general
action at a point far removed from a
coaling station.
This question of coal is one Of the
leading factors and must determine the
result. Though there is a certain
amount of coal in Cuba and Porto Rico,
in neither island can the stock be
largely increased while America is I'M
defeated at sea-
IF Spain adopts the alternative of
coaling in the open sea from Golfers,
she does so at great peril. She has only
one or two golfers that can keep up
with the best and modern part of the
fleet"

sive developments in its operation will
be the order of the day. after the first
of May.
j. F. Brown and NJ. j. Bolts, county
attorney and sheriff of Kane county, were
in the city yesterday on business. Mr..
Brown is interested in valuable copper
properties on the Utah-Arizona border,
but at the present he is doing nothing
with them. He says. however, that con-
siderable prospecting is going on in the
Trumbo and Buckskin mountains.
E. H. Scott, manager of the North Fork
placers on Coffee creek, Trinidad county,
California, has arrived at the diggings.
after his visit TO Salt Lake and writes
that the giants have been at work on a
tory results. The company, composed
largely of Salt Lake people, anticipate big
returns from this property this summer.
Bulletin Mountain Home, New: A big
cast iron turbine wheel has arrived here
from San Francisco, to be operated on
Wileys placer ground. near Grand View.
1t was loaded on a team yesterday and
forwarded to its destination by the Helf-
rich Mercantile company. We expect Mr..
Wiley's energy and enterprise to create a
revolution in placer mining under the Bru-
neau canal, and predict that 500 men will
be profitably employed at placer mining
in that vicinity before another winter.
Brig H. Young will leave for Clifton dis
trict, Deep Creek, within a. day or two, for
the purpose of making a consignment of
ore from the Silver King group, which
will carry average values of So per cent
lead, 200 ounces silver to the ton, and
nearly So in gold. OF course it will be
expensive to ship from this distance, but
Mr.. Young and his associates want to
show the boys what there is in this count
try. The Silver King is great carbonate
proposition, and is similar-in its charac-
teristics to some Of the heavy producers
of Leadville.
Mammoth Record: What came near be-
ing a very serious accident happened at
the Ajax mine Sunday morning at 1850.
Gustave Schmidt, while attempting to get
out of the way of a blast, fell 30 feet into
a chute, striking on his head and should
ers, but fortunately sustained no serious
injuries. DR.. Field of Eureka, was called,
and. after careful examination, concluded
it was not necessary to send the patient
to the hospital. Latest reports say that
Mr.. Schmidt is resting easy, much to the
joy of his many friends in this and adj
joining mining camps, where he is very
popular.
1t begins to look now as if a concen-
traitor would soon be erected at the Con-
solidatad mine near Brigham City and it
is understood that the contracts for the
Same are almost as good as let. Some
of the Chicago members of the com pany
We're out here a few days ago and before
returning they took a lot OF samples from
the mine and said if they assayed over
per cent in lead orders would be immed-
lately given for the erection of the con-
centrator, and as there is any amount of
mineral in the mine that will run this
much and over it is a safe proposition
to say that work in the erection of the
plant will begin at an early day.

OUR EISTEDDFOD.
Butte Musicians Are Interested In
the Coming Festival


Butte Miner: In view of the approach
ing Eisteddfod, the great singing carnival
that is to take place at Salt Lake City
during next September, some of the
vocal musicians of Butte are especially
anxious that this city should be repre-
scented at the gathering. AS is known,
the Eisteddfod is a prize carnival at
which the best singing organizations of
the west will contest and the Butte gen.
tlemen very properly assert that there
are as many good voices here as in any
city in the country. All the owners of
the voices need is a fair amount of
training and practice to enable them to
enter into the competition and with these
requisites they will give a good account
of themselves.
At the contest several prizes will be
awarded, the most important being for a
octette. In each the competitors will
have to sing the same music, thal selected
for the chorus being The Crusaders" by
Prothae, and for the octettei "All thro'
the Night" by T. l. Davis.
There are several gentlemen in Butte
who feel that it would be good thing in
many respects to have this city represent
ed, if possible. They say that the talent
here is sufficient if it can only be organ
lied and persuaded to practice. The only
organized singing club in this city is
the Silver Bow Glee club, which is COM
posed of 13 members, but in the event of
organizing a chorus and octette it does
not follow that all the members of that
society would be included What is;
needed is the selection of the best to
represent the city.
rhe Silver Bow Glee club have the
music for the two songs and if the
proper number could be gotten together
rehearsals would begin at once. They
are worthy of consideration by the publit
spirited men of Butte, but if the city is
TO be represented with credit "a move
must be made at once said the gentle
man who was conversing with the Miner
upon the subject

THE DAISY MILL.
Work Progressing Finely In tn
Erection of Reduction Works.

A. H Mayne, the manager of the
Daisy, on the west dip in Camp Floyd
district. was in the city yesterday, and
when seen by representative of The
Herald he was feeling in excellent spir-
its over the splendid condition of the
mine and the progress that is beng
made in the erection of the mill, which,
it is believed, will be grinding away on
good ore within the next so or 80 days.
In speaking of the progress made in
the construction of the plant, Mr..
Mayne stated that the foundations were
completed, while the timbers for re
building were nearly ready to put to-
gether, besides which the first carload
of new machinery is expected to ar
rive the first of the week, to be fol-
lowed Immediately by the balance of
the equipment for the works, which will
embrace eight solution tanks of a ca
pacity of SO tons of ore each, which,
it is expected, will give the mill
daily capacity of 100 tons.
Pending the completion of the mill,
according to Mr.. Mayne, small tubs are
being utilized in making experimental
tests on screenings and crushed ore, the
results so far being very f1attering,
with a high recovery OF the precious
metal by the cyanide process.
During the building of the mill and
works. but little development work is
being done at the present time, al
though ore bins with a capacity of 100
tons each are being put in at the sew
eral stations in the mine, while the in
cline is being Strengthened preparatory
to putting in a substantial track for
the skips to run on, and as soon as this
work is completed and the hoist is in
working order, development work will
be resumed, Notwithstanding the fact
that already there are blocked out in
the workings of the property over 100,-
600 tons of ore which will carry an
average value of $3.50 in gold to the
ton.
While no definite arrangements have
been made as yet, it is understood that
the company is contemplating the
feasibility of putting in an independ-
ent pipe line of it's own.
The La Cigale, on the same zone, is
now down 500 feet with its incline
shaft, and the showing of ore at this
depth is excellent.
