SPANISH NEED OF COAL.
Principal Reason For Dispatching
Her Fleet This Wav.

New York, April 1S.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
In view of Spain's efforts to collect
coal at Havana and San Juan, no doubt
exists in political circles that the naval
plan for the Spanish government con-
templates the dispatch of the fleet to
western waters.
1t is officially admitted that this gov
eminent has determined not to permit
any coal to be taken to the Cape Verde
islands on board the British tramp ship
Hampstead, and that negotiations are
under way for the sale of that vessel
and her cargo to the United States.
The Hampstead, although she was to
have sailed Saturday, has not gone
and her purchase will probably be an
nounced. 1t is admitted by officials
that they are trying to meet trick with
trick. There is but a small amount of
coal at st. Vincent, and it would be
necessary for the Spanish fleet to go to
some other point for fuel within a short
time. as the supply at Cape Verde can
not last any length of time. 1t was TO
help the fleet now gathered at that
point that the Hampstead was ordered
to proceed to Cape Verde after pur-
chasing a supply at Lambert's Point.
The United States is in great need of
Golfers, especially one loaded with coal.
and it would, therefore, be only too
glad to take from Spain the vessel and
her cargo and use her for offensive pur-
poses against her first employer.
Official information received by the
authorities also indicates that there is
but a small quantity of coal at the
Canary Islands A desperate effort is
being made by Spain TO ship supplies
to that point. and also to Cape de
Verde, which is evidently to. be the an
chorage of the fleet until war breaks
out 1t is impossible for Spain to pro-
cure coal in England. because of the
strike now in progress in the coal
mines, and because the English coal
dealers refuse to receive promises to
pay, and will only sell to the Madrid
government for cash.
1t is known that Spain has been float
ing considerable paper in continental
Europe but she has been unable to
force any of it on the English rner-
chants Whether Spain pays cash for
goods purchased in the United States
is not known, but it is believed that |
what little money she has she is spend |

THE NORTHERN LIGHT.
The Mine and Mill Now In Shape to
Give An Account of Themselves.

Hon. James Chapman, one of the
board of managers of the Northern
Light mine, has returned from Lion
Hill where he saw r. G. Legg installed
as Superintendent of this prospective
bonanza.
Mr.. Chapman was at the mine two
or three days and he states that the
mill is now running regularly and in
evident good shape, so tons Of mineral
being treated daily at the start, the
ore now in the tanks carrying values Of
SO ounces silver and 81 in gold to the
ton. and il is believed that a. satisfac-
tory saving, if not high one, is being
made. and already the zinc shavings
are beginning to show positive assur-
ances of the precipitation of the
precious metals to a gratifying extent,
Mr.. Chapman bringing home with him
q small bottle of cyanides which look
as if they would run well.
The mine, according to Mr.. Chapman,
is looking well and large bodies of ore
have been blocked out, and the indica-
4ions are that the mill can be operated
ia its full capacity from now on with
out any difficulty.
From barrel tests made by Metallur-
gist Hendrie, it has been shown that
a very high extraction of the silver

Mr.. Chapman states that few days
ago a caVe-in occurred in the mine. No
enc was hurt, but the break brought
down several hundred tons of good mill
ing ore, exposing the hanging wall of
the vein, and leaving standing in place
fine bodies of mineral.
1t viii be some time yet before it is
determined definitely how successful
the present run will be. but there is
seemingly no doubt regarding the out

Intimately acquainted with the prop
erty.
Superintendent Legg is not stranger
by any means to the Northern Light,
as he worked in the mine number of
years ago. before it passed into the
hands of the present company, on
which account he is familiar with the
workings of the mine, its formation and
general characteristics, on which ac-
count it is believed that good results
will follow his management, as he is
accounted a first class miner.

Showing In the Columbia.

From one of the officers of the Co
lumbia Mining company, who has just
returned from an inspection of the
property of the company, it is learned
that the mine is looking better and bet
ter as work in its development pro-
crosses.
The Columbia group is located on
Lion hill, and adjoins the Chloride
FONT on the north and west The orig
iral workings on this ground are what
is known as the Rosa shaft, and from
the bottom of this a drift has been
run east on d fine showing of ore, to-
wards the Chloride Point workings. Re
Gently, however. a drift was started
to the northwest and into the hill, and
it is learned that at point so feet
from the bottom of the shaft the face
of the drift has exposed a 15-inch body
of high grade chloride ore, and that
as work advances the ledge is steadily
increasing IN size.
On the Columbus the working shaft
has row reached a depth of $50 feet,
and it is expected that within 80 feet
more the ore body disclosed in the
Chloride Point workings will be ex-
POSED,
Samples of ore from this northwest
drift are now On exhibition at the Of
fee of the company, and they are
pleasing to look at

him or not.
She denied having bought the revol-

and said she had kept it in the house
for quite a while, feeling, since her
husband was killed, that she needed
some protection, especially as hse lived
alone with her daughter in the house.

future, and was allowed to go her way.

FORFEITURE OF BOND.
Valuable Eagle Valley Property Re
Verts to Former Owners.

In January of this year a group of
valuable claims in Eagle Valley dis
trict, Lincoln county, Nevada, were
secured under bond by DR.. ]. Nelson
and his associates, a payment being
made at the time. provision being made
for a larger payment later on, besides
which other conditions were eXacted,
one OF which was the erection of a
mill on the ground by certain date.
The group in question is owned by
Messrs. Allen G. Campbell, r. c. Lund
and Ben Johnson, and it is learned
that the property has reverted back
to these gentlemen, as The Herald is
informed by Mr.. Johnson that the con-
tracts were not being fulfilled, on ac
count of which failure Mr.. Johnson has
taken possession of the property
1t is understood the reason ascribed
by DIR. Nelson for relinquishing his
bond on the group, is that it is worth
less, but MesSrs. Lund and Johnson
are very well satisfied to take it back,
and consider that they have lost moth
ing by the return of the mine.
