his regiment we're in the Shenandoah
Valley, taking part in Sheridan's great
campaign against Jubal Early. About
the fret OF the month Colonel Alger sp-
piled for ten days leave of absence. The
application was disproved and returned
by his isionicommander. General Yves.
ley Merritt, because Of the active oper-
a.ions then in progress. Upon the return
Of his application for leave disapproved,
Colonel Alger left his regiment and went
to Washington without leave. There he
procured q detail ON court-msrtial duty
in that city. This fact was reported to
General Merritt, who reported it in turn
to General Sheridan, who brought the
matter to the attention of the War De-
psrtment. recommending that Colonel
Alger be dishonorsbly discharged for
being absent without leave. In conss-
quence OF the recommendation OF Philip
Sheridan, Colonel Russell A. Alger was
dishonorably discharged from the service

ated his military career. After the war
was over he procured in some way the
brevet OF Brigadier General and Major

Last week the owners OF the Star
mine at Cherry Creek, White Pine
county, shipped a carload OF ore to
Salt Lake City valued at 500, 900.
According to the assays. says the
Tribune. argentiferous contents alone
amounted to over 1900 ounces per ton,
while associated with this metal is 20
per cent lead and 9 per cent copper.
The shipment affords splendid demon
stration OF what may be accomplished
through the intelligent use OF money
and giant powder in many of the long
neglected properties Of Nevada. For
many years the Star. that in early
days had been productive Of very high
grade ore. was practically abandoned.

The old town OF Tuscarora, that

for years. Since the Grand Prize days

We predict that old Sol will break out
and shed bis effulgent rays on all

"a. G. B." in the Reno Gazette.
Placer mines were discovered in

The placers added sS,000.0O0 to the

The town proper has a population OF

restaurants, nine saloons, four general
business horses, With many smaller
concerns, such as cigar stands, barber
shops, etc., With machine shop and
foundry, to surply the wants Of the
people. The town has fine water works,
with water CO eyed through a pipe
for distance q fourteen miles, with
pressure OF 120 a the main street. The
mines give employment to $50 men.
At the present ..me the principal mine
is the Dexter, eq 'pped with steam

electrical and transmitted from Janet
creek, distance of twelve miles, and
has a capacity OF so horse power. The
will soon have new electrical
power plants put up on Jack and
Chicken creeks, which will increase
the power to about 800 horse. The
property is under the management OF
5. b. Miner, with headquarters at
Salt Lake. The mine promises to do
great things for the good people Of
Tuscarora as we'll as for its stockhold-
ers. An ore body / ZOO feet long bv
l50.in width has been uncovered, and
it has been estimated that 1,000,0
tons are in sight that will pay a net
profit of 81. The deepest workings
are only $50 feet down. The ore is
hoisted to the surface in ore cars and
run down track to the mill, where
it is crushed and about 65 per cent OF
the precious metal is saved by plate
The tailings are then
run down to immense ponds near the
cyanide mill, where the balance is
saved. The company will dou BILE
its present capacity the coming year.

PRIZE MONEY MAY REACH A MILLION
That Amount viii BE Distributed Amons
American Sailors

That Amount Will BE Distributed Among
American Sailors,
Washington, Sept 6-At least ST.
100000 prize money will be distributed
among American sailors as a result of
the war with Spain.
More than one-half of this sum will
be paid in accordance with that section
of law providing for the payment of
a bounty for persons on board vessels
of war sunk in action. The rest will
be turned into the treasury for dis
tribution by the courts which shall
pass upon vessels of the enemy capt
ured by American men of war.
Although not penny of prize mon-
ey has yet been turned into the treas
ury, Judge Advocate General Lemly
and his chief clerk. Mr.. Hanna, are
engaged in considering the various
claims for prize money which have
been filed by officers and men, and in
passing upon the various questions
which have arisen in connection with
such claims.
From the official report of Admiral
Montojo. commanding the Spanish
fleet sunk at Manila, there were 1.S75
persons on board the ships under his
will, therefore, be s9,375 richer than he
was before the war.
Rear Admiral Sampson has realized
a snug little fortune as a result of the
war. AS commander-in-chief of the
North Atlantic fleet he will get one
twentieth of every prize taken in
North Atlantic waters, and one-twen-
tieth of the head money allowed for the
vessels destroyed off Santiago and in
Cuban ports. 1t is estimated that he
will finally receive about $4,000 as his
share of prize money.
In determining the amount of head
money due officers and men II will be
necessary for the department to de-
eide whether a vessel destroyed was
inferior or superior to her antagonist.
If the latter the American ship will
be entitled to $500 for each person OF,
board the enemy's vessels. OF course
this will swell the amount of prize
money due the rear admiral.
1t is estimated that, including the
Mercedes, sunk by thte Massachusetts
at the mouth of the harbor of Santia-
so, there were 2,492 persons on board
the Spanish fleet destroyed by Rear
Admiral SIMPSONS fleet, which was
superior to the enemy, and the am
cunt of head money due the fleet will
consequently aggregate S249.200.
