of sugar to American, ports, but will
allow it shipped to neutral ports in
blockade runners which bring provi-
sions, which can be landed on any part
of the island without paying customs
duties. The council. also ordered the
mining of coal that has been discov-
cred near Guanaguay.y in the province
of Havana, which will be placed at the
disposal of Admiral Manterola.

PELICAN POINT ONYX.
Machinery Being Put In to Cut and
Polish the Stone

Lehi, Utah, June 4.-Mr. Cederstrom
hos just come into town and reports
work at his Pelican Point onyx mines
progressing finely, and that several tons
of onyx is now being prepared for ship
ment to the Omaha fair.
Mr.. Cederstrom has received a, very
fine windmill from the east with a ca
pacity for the running of a large plant
for cutting and polishing the onyx. 1t
will be placed in position Immediately
and work will be commenced on a
number of clock stands, besides which
a large number of other articles will be
manufactured from the onyx. Mr.
Cederstrom also expects to place on
the market a large amount of what he
calls Take pebbles" for the making. of
paths and walks around houses, lawns
and gardens.
These pebbles are washed from the
bottom of Utah lake upon it's shore
near Mr.. Cederstrom's home at Pelican
Point, and can be sold very cheap. They
are very pretty to look at and exist in
a great variety of colors and look beau
tiful in the sunlight.

A BIG BAY CHUTE.
What the B. & B. Has Opened Up
In the Golden Harvest.

"The Butte and Boston has a pay
chute of ore that is over 100 feet long
and samples over $50 per ton at not
deeper than % feet from the surface.
This fact says the Butte Miner, has
been demonstrated by running a shall
low tunnel on the top of this chute of
ore the whole distance. On last Thurs
day the company started a working
shaft to begin to work their mine sys-
tematically, being now entirely satisfied
from the work up to date that they
have at least one big pay chute in this
property, if not more.
-.'"The Golden Harvest, which is COM
paratively a new property, is consid-
cred by all of the mining men who have
visited it to be almost an exact dupli
cate of the Republic at it's present
stage of development. 1t has been.
crosscut on the surface the whole
length of the claim. This surface
crosscut shows a vein of ore for 1.500
feet in length. 1t only remains for de-
velopment now to show the length and
richness of the pay chutes in this vein
of ore. They have a shaft down 80 feet
and are drifting both ways from it.
From the vein, samples were taken by
myself and James Harvey, superin-
tendent of the Republic mine, a few
days ago. The north drift, which was
in 80 feet from the bottom of the shaft,
sampled $34.40. The southrdrift, which
is in 80 feet from the bottom of the
shaft, sampled $41.2S Three hundred
feet below this the vein has been
caught and a tunnel has just been
started to run on the vein, that will
tap the bottom of this shaft 200 feet
below it's present depth. This tunnel,
while it is not yet under the surface.
shows eight feet of ore, which sam
pied for Mr.. Harvey and myself some
thing over 50 per ton in gold.
when you take into consideration
that this property is two miles and
half directly south of the Republic on
the Republic vein, and that the Tom
Thumb and Rebate are three and a
half miles directly north of the Repub-
lie on the same mineral belt and that
they are now working on pay ore, to
say nothing of the prospects that lie
north and south of these properties, you
will see that this belt is being devel-
oped for six miles in length and that
the pay ore certainly extends that far
This shows the immense strength of
these figures and gives room for many
good properties. The best evidence of
the present condition of this wonderful
young camp and it's promises for the
future, is that every mining man that
has gone into it so far since its values
were first demonstrated, likes it and
wants to become interested. l have
spent most of the time for the last
three months in this camp and l have
yet to find a single operator or expert
who has visited US who speaks dispar-
agingly of the camp in any way"
THE San Poll bids fair to follow in
the wake of the Republic; the Black
Tail. the Butte and Boston, the Golden
Harvest, the Tom Thumb and the Re-
bate are all working on what would
be considered good pay gold ore if they
were not overshadowed by the i'm
mense richness of the Republic"

WILL BE EXCHANGED.
Large Number of Spanish Prisoners
For the Purpose

Washington, June 5.-Adjutant General
Corbin was hard at work at his desk, in
telegraphic correspondence with army Of
ficers in all parts of the country, and par
ticularly regarding the Spanish military
prisoners from whom selections will be
made for exchange of the gallant little
band that sunk the Merrimac. The COM
manding officer at Fort Mcpherson, Ga,
has furnished the department a full list
of the caDtives. to facilitate the work of
exchange. This is likely to occupy more
time than was originally expected, be-
cause of the difficulty of communicating
with the Spanish admiral at Santiago.
The preiminaries must be arranged di-
rectly through Admiral Sampson, a time
consuming operation, as he can be
reached only through the agency of dis
patch boats from jamaica or Hayti.
The war department officials were them
selves surprised at the number of Span
ish officers held prisoners at Mcpherson.
and it will be seen that there is no lack
of material, as was at first feared. for
equal exchange. Two officers have al

World, Idaho City, Ida: The Twin
Springs company is putting up der
rick on the north side of East Hill. 1t
will be completed in a day or two. That
side is noted for two big deposits-one
auriferous and the other in the form
of huge boulders. The company has
been breaking these boulders with
giant powder, which has been not only
slow work, bat expensive. The derrick
was expected here sometime ago, but
not arriving on time the company has
employed the next best method of get
ting rid of the boulders-the force of
giant powder. Four hydraulic chiefs
are now in use in the East Hill claim,
two on each side. ]. P. Hutchins, from

POWELL'S BRAVERY.
zone of Hobson's Chickens" Who
Deserves Recognition.

Washington, June 5.-Great admiration
is expressed at the department at the
cool pluck and discretion shown by the
young cadet, George w. Powell, who took
command of the New York's steam launch
and lay under the batteries for many
hours until he was satisfied from his own
observation that the Merrimac had gone
down before he returned to the flagship.
1t is felt that his fate involved a display
OF quite as much courage as was shown
by the Merrimac'S crew, and he is likely
to profit thereby.
Young Powell was known as Zone of
Hobson's chickens" When Hobson
Joined the squadron he secured permits
sion of the authorities..to take with him
three young naval cadets from the acad-
envy at Annapolis. They were included in
his own class of naval cadets at the
academy, and he wished to take them
with him to substitute the theoretical
force by some practical experience in the
effect of explosives on shfps. Powell was
appointed to the academy from New York
in May, 1893. --.------.-

Key West, Fla. June 5.-The impending.

today Intense anxiety is felt Tor more
and definite news from Commodore
Schley and Rear Admiral Sampson and
the north coast blockade has become a
minor incident.
The only arrival, of today from OF
Havana reports an unchanged condition
there. The ships are still stationed IN

The Badly Mining Company.

Castle Gate. June 4.-The good news
that has come from the Badly Mining
company, brought here by the secretary
and treasurer, B. F. Caffey, has raised
the hopes of the stockholders sky high,
and every one is now wearing smile
as broad as that which was on the
presidents face when he heard of
Dewey's victory.
Every available block of stock that
can be bought is being snapped up.
Castle Gate people own the bulk of the
stock. Hence the Klondike smile.

London, June 6.-AI the papers refer
in terms of the highest praise of Hob
sons daring exploit at Santiago, but
some doubts are thrown upon the state
ment that the Merrimac has completely
blockaded the channel, as the American
reports assert
The Times says: ''It is most prob
able that Admiral Cervera has de-
liberate intention to stay in Santiago.
1t seems clear that his squadron was
not prepared for war or fit for sea when
1t left The Cape Verde islands, and
there is good reason to doubt whether
the Cristobal Colon even shipped her
big guns at ALL
''HobsOn's exploit is one of which the
American navy may we'll be proud
Madrid describes the affair as a bril-
liant Spanish victory, but from dreams
OF such victories there is an unpleas-
ant awakening.
Admiral Cervera's period of evasion
is ended Santiago now invites cap
ture by military action and Admiral
CerVera'S ships, unless Scuttled, cannot
avoid capture The destruction and fall
of Santiago is now only question Of
time. with the disappearance OF all the
hopes founded upon the Spanish fleet.
Spain SympathiZers realize that
her cause is hopeless and America will
not distress herself much about such
warnings as that of the st. Petersburg
Novosti yesterday, until the cOmbina-
ton assumes more tangible form than
there is any prospect of at present.
Peace is at Spain's disposal when
ever she seeks it frankly and sincerely,
but her game is clearly lost and it is
quite out of the question to define as
honorable peace one restoring the

AMERICAN RENowN.

The Daily Chronicle remarks: add
ed to the other dangers was the dan
ger of the sharks. The incident gives
fresh lustre to the renown of the Amer
lean navy"
The Daily Times says: "All English
sailors will join with the Americans in
admiration of this exploit under the
point-blank fire of the Spanish batter
les. If the United States can count on
self-sacrifice of that kind in great
emergencies, the Santiago forts will be
powerless to prevent Admiral Sampson
reaching the Spanish squadron should
that measure seem good to him.
The article proceeds to argue that it
is premature, however, to suppose that
the channel is absolutely closed or that
it would be impossible to destroy the
hulk. 1t says: I'm any case, the feat
does not end the war. If the channel
is. blocked, it is equally so to the in
gress of American vessels and Admiral
Cervera's squadron can materially as
siSt in the defense against land at
tack. 1t is therefore probable that the
American troops are not intended for
Cuba, but for Porto Rico. the seizure
of which would be an effective check
upon Spain's naval enterprise, as cut
ting off her last naval base"

he scarcely stopped to talk of possible

In reply to frequent questions, Hob

Pursuant to repeated requests from
Meekeriles that Glenwood should meet
the club Of that town in base ball con
test club was made up here from what
was formerly the Napiers, supplemented
by other lovers of the national game.
Saturday morning the boys went to
Ride where they were met by Rawley
Clark, manager of the Meeker team.
who made the long stage journey to
Meeker pleasant for his visitors. At
the hotel they were met by about SO of
the citizens of the White River metrop-
oils and assigned to the best rooms in
the house.
During their entire stay our boys were
furnished with everything that would
conduce to the pleasure of their trip
and none were allowed to spend cent,
After the defeat of the boys on the
first day the crowd gave three cheers
for Glenwood and wished them better
success on the following day. During
this game Manager Clark offered Sl.00
for every home run made, of which
Powers, of the Glenwoods, earned two
and the captain of the Meeker club
three.
In the second days game as many
cheers were given for Glenwood as for
the home team.
In the evening the boys got up a bi-
cycle race in which Walter Phillips
entered and won: Arthur Weiderman
came out second best in foot race.
The Genwoods played good ball but
were simply out-classed, some of their
rivals being professional players and all
having au advantage as to previous
practice.
To show the extent of appreciation of
our boys for making them a visit the
Meeker club promised that if we would
return in September they would guar
antae us a weeks outing absolutely free
of expense.
Monday evening at the Odd Fellows
hall our club was rendered a reception
and ball which was largely attended.
A compliment to the Glenwood club
which is highly appreciated was the

An Embarrassing Fad.

Left-hand shaking is the newest New
York fad and an embarrassing one to
the unnitiated. Indeed, in this fad the
life of the initiated is not wholly free
from carping care, for the knowledge OF
the fad is not widespread, and it is a
puzzling situation for the ultrafashion-
able girl when she advances to meet a
girl friend or foe with her left hand
raised at the proper angle of greeting,
only to encounter right hand all out of
focus with her own and accompanied by
a most bewlldercd expression of
countenance. 1t is a trying moment
for all hands, and the girl who has the
consciousness of being very much up
to-date is really not much more COM
Portable in mind than is the girl who is
oppressed with a sudden fear of her
friends sanity But the very ecceIi-
tricity of this fad will help it to be go.

to acquire the trick. hence its exclusive

some time unmarred.-From Society
