TO BE A REAR ADMIRAL.
Captain Sampson Will BE Temporari-
ly Advanced in Rank.


WASHINGTON, April 22.-The secretary
Of the navy has decided to temporarily APP
point Captain Sampson, now IN command OF
the North Atlantic squadron, a rear adj
miral. The nomination, for 1t is believed
1t will be necessary to make a nomination
even for temporary appointment, will be
submitted to the Senate very soon. BY this
action the department will Jump" Captain
Sampson, who stands third in the list of
captains, over not only the two captains
preceding him, but over the ten commodores
of the next grade above and below that of
rear admiral. 1t is explained, however, that
the appointment, being only temporary. the
superior officers will lose nothing by this,
for when he relinquishes the command OF
the squadron Rear Admiral Sampson will
again become Captain Sampson and retain
his number on the register. The purpose OF
thus increasing the rank of Captain Samp-
son is to prevent the confusion and disar-
rangement that would result should he fall
now in North Atlantic waters. Having Sc
lected Captain Sampson originally for the
command of the squadron, it is not deemed
by the department good policy to chance an
unexpected change of commanders. But
were Sampson to remain plain Captain

with his flying squadron, either by accident
or by orders come in contact with the
North Atlantic squadron, under tho naval
regulations the senior officer would COM

favorable for this property.
James Brown, superintendent of the
Eureka Electric Light works, who has
for some time been experimenting on 4
process for extracting precious metals
from crude ore by electricity, Is obtain
ing very satisfactory results. His latest
tests made this week on Centennial Eu-
reka ores, which assayed clio ounces
gold, 80 ounces silver and per cent
copper, showed that by his method he
could save 9s per cent gold and % per
cent copper. and by cyanlding retained
90 per cent of the silver. Ores can be
handled very cheaply by his process
