Mining Items.

The Dacy Brothers have let a contract
to parties in Lead to sink a l25 foot
shaft on one Of their mining claims at
Ragged Top.
The famous old Iron Hill mine at
Carbonate camp has been leased to John
Ringley and others, says the Lead Tri-
bune. They are taking out good pay
ing ore, which will soon be shipped.
At Cripple Creek, Colorado, a new
system of placer mining is in operation.
There is a deposit of black sand on the
bedrock which carries iron besides gold.
The whole product is treated as a con-
c~entrate and shipped to the smelter.
Twelve tons returned $l40 in gold per
ton.
The Deadwood Terra hoist at Terra.
vile recently destroyed by fire, will be
rebuilt at once, says the Lead Tribune.
1t is expected to take about four months
to put up the building and put the ma
chinery in place. The new structure
will be of steel and will be larger than
the former one.
We learn from s. Scott. supt. of the
Tip Top Mining Co. on Spring Creek.
that the company has made arrange
ments to at once put up a ten.stamp
mill on that property. The machinery
has already been ordered from Fraser
& Chalmers of Chicago. Mr.. Charles
Stokes has the contract to put up the
mill.
1t is reported that work has been re-
sumed Oh the Union Hill mines at
Galena. A force of ten men were set
at work on Tuesday on the Alert in
Strawberry gulch, and more men will be
put on about the LIST Of the coming week.
The smelter is being overhauled and
put in readiness for work, the popu-
lation is hocking back to the town, and
business is vastly improved.
ORE SHIPMENT.
One ton of ore from the Chilkoot
mine, was shipped to Chicago this week
for a test by the new electrical process
invented by Mr. Long of that city. This
is the second shipment which has been
made from the Chilkoot camp. The
owners are Alex Madill, VIM. Challis,
and others, all old timers who are 60
ing about their work of development in
a proper manner, and propose to loose
no time IN finding out the best method
of treatment for their particular kind of
ore.

TORPEDO BOATS AND TORPE-
DO BOAT DESTROYERS.

We have been asked to tell what a
torpedo boat and torpedo boat destroy
or are. A torpedo boat is generally a
craft Of from l25 tons to 200 tons, fit
ted with powerful machinery and gen.
orally containing five torpedo tubes, one
on the bow and two on cit er side, from
which torpedoes are launched. They
are built in compartments: they have as
much power as an ordinary ship of five
or eight times their size. The torpe-
does are launched by machinery or by
hand, and are expected to run 300 or
$50 yards, either by compressed air. or
more recently by electricity. through
which they are both run and steered.
The torpedo boat destroyer is gener-
ally of from $50 to 300 tons. likewise
fixed for launching torpedoes; they
have moreover, either rapid fire guns
fore and aft, or revolving Hotchkiss
guns and searchlights. Some have II
compartments; they have as much pow
Ell as an ordinary 1000 ton ship; they
have immense pumps to work in case of
accident; the turtle deck runs clear aft
to the first cabin and from the cabin to
the beam on either side is t heavy bull
wark of steel. They have several boil
ers and engines, but each one is in a
compartment of it's own and works in
dependently of all the rest. Some, too,
are fittod with rams to run down other
boats. The British boat Boxer" of
this class, on it's trial trip, ran "a. %
miles an hour.
The British navy is building over 40
OF these boats and the purpose is to
have for each battleship. There is be-
sides for every feet of torpedo boats or
destroyers depot torpedo ship Of
about 5000 tons designed to carry sup
plies for the smaller craft on long voy
ages. The torpedoes are loaded with
varying charges of either dynamite
or gun cotton. The destroyers, besides
their fighting qualities, have the same
mission for navy that scouts have for
armies. They are the navy's couriers
and outside pickets, and are often more
to be dreaded than great $4,000 ton
ships of the line. Big ships have as
much instructive dread OF them as the
whale has of the sword fish. Salt Lake

"Dan de guile" Dead.

VIM. Wright, beloved by the people
OF Nevada for his gifted, quaint, and
genial personality and writings under
the name of Dan de Quille", died on
the 10th ult. at his old home in Iowa,
where he went last year so feeble that
1t was feared that he would not survive
the journey. For thirty-six years he
served as reporter on the Virginia
City Enterprise and, says Judge Good
win in the Tribune, ''the work that he
did in those thirty-six years was never
equalled on newspaper by any one
man. He wrote necessarily. Ostensi-
bly, reporter, he filed that detail with
conscientious exactness, he wrote essays
some of which were purely scientific,
Others which were burlesque on sci
ence. He wrote winsome stories: he
was closely akin to all natural objects,
and the sunlight ana the mountain
pictures were woven unconsciously into
his work. He had a drOll side, too,
and he delighted to interpret and ex-
plain in grotesque imagery the work.

locals in which all local men were men,
toned and described, but no one was

OF the man rounded off what would
have been sharp edges from any other
pen. And so he worked and worked
for full generation and then, without
plant, with his old sunny nature tri-
umphant to the last, he fell asleep.
Men by the thousands will hear of his
death with the same feeling that they
would have to hear OF a brothers death
for he never had an enemy, and thought
full men have realized that in It's unpre-
tentiousness, his was one of the most
useful lives that ever wore itself out in

THE REPORT
AT LAST.
Submitted to Congress Mon
day Morning.

The report of the naval board OF in
quiry, for which the people have been
waiting so long, was at last submitted
to Congress Monday morning, and was
referred to committees without word
of debate The message of the Presi-
dent treated simply of the facts in the
case and left the matter in the hands OF
Congress. An abstract Of the report is
as follows:
At the time of the explosion the
Maine was lying in five and half faith
oms of water. The dicipline on board
was excellent. THE TEMPERATURE
OF THE MAGAZINES WAS NORMAL, ex-
cept in the after ten-inch magazine,
and that did not explode. There were
TWO EXPLOSIONS, with very short
interval between them, and the ship
lifted on the first explosion. The tech
meal details are recited from which the
court deduces that MINE EXPLODED
under the port side of the ship. The
explosion was due TO no fault of those
on board In the opinion of the court,
the explosion of the mine caused the ex'
plosion of two magazines. The court
declares that it cannot find any evidence
to fix the responsibility. The REPORT
is UNANIMOUS and is signed by all the
members of the court.
