LANE FORFEITED $S0,O0O.

One of the richest mines in this re- public is the Ssperanza, situated in the Fl Gro district, state of Mexico, says City of Mexico Two Republics. This mine is owned by Mexican company. Not long ago Charles Lane, the owner of La Fortuna mine in Yuma coun- ty, made an effort to buy the Esper- anza property. He was to pay S6,0O0,- 900 Mexican money for the mine, and deal. For some reason he failed tc put up sS0,000 option money on the make the purchase, and he forfeited his $S0000. The mine is said to be worth considerably more than S6,000,- 900. The gold vein in the Esperanza is 100 feet wide, and the larger part of it runs s3O to the ton. The company is operating a forty-stamp mill

and even if completed there would al ways be apprehension of it's collapse whenever big ship was placed in it. He therefore regarded the want of docks as one of the most important things to the navy, more so now than the building of battle ships or the se.- clement of the armor question.
 As to the question before congress whether battle ships or a dry dock should be authorized at this session, MT. Long said he would advocate the construction of a dock, although he had hoped that both would be se- cured.
 'If we should go to war with sin gle power just now,' he said, Great Britain, in preserving neutrality. would refuse us the use of the docks at Halifax where the Indiana was docked. and in case of the slightest damage to one of the larger ships there would not be dock available on this coast where she could be re- paired The use of the ship would be at once lost and perhaps the fate of a battle might turn upon the absence of two or three ships of this type tempo rarily disabled, but which could De sent to sea again promptly had we adequate docking facilities. shall urge that authority be granted to build at least one first class dock, and l shall see that ground is selected where there cannot be the slightest possibil- ity of the bottom tumbling out of the dock.
 Boston is, I believe, the most ad- vantageous site, owing to the fine navy yard plant there, it's commodious har- bor, and the ample protection that will be afforded by the new Notifications. It is unfortunate that the navy should be in the present predicament and that we should te utterly without a dock where any of the battle ships now in southern waters could be accommo- dated. Even if the new dock at New York can be repaired, which is ques- toned, it cannot possibly be ready for use under four months. Several Of the battle ships will soon require doca ing, and it will probably be necessary to send them all to Halifax"
 The dry dock subject is now under consideration by the house naval com mittee, before which Mir. Long will ap- pear again to urge an immediate ap- propriation.

NEW PLACER MINING MACHINE

R. R. Sterling, a mining engineer of Breckenridge, Colo. is stopping at the
 St. James hotel. ''The prospects are
 that our section of the state will ship
 an exceptionally large amount of gold
 ore this year, he said last evening,
 "A mining company is putting in two large placer dredges, which will be operated on Snake river. They are called the Risdon dredge, and cost $35,- 900 each. This machine has never be- fore been operated in this country, all though they have been nsed in New Zealand, and successfully, too. The advantage of these machines is that they do not draw but few inches over two feet of water, and are so con- structed that they float in their own rip by scooping up the ground in front of them and piling it up behind as tail ings. They are so constructed that they catch the finest particles of gold on their amalgamated plates, which will make them a success in that sec tion of the state, as the gold in those

Washington, Feb. 16.-An emphatic declaration has been made by Secre- tary Long that should the country be forced to war there was not single dry dock on the Atlantic seaboard in which one of the battle ships now in commission could be taken. The new Port Royal dock, built at the cost of over half a million dollars, the secre- tary said, was practically valueless. With regard to the dock now under going repairs at the New York navy yard, it was seriously questioned whether it would ever be Of much use,

Chicago, March 9-Cables this morning
were sd higher. Our market opened up
a little but soon became weak, the July
declining from 915s to 905s. AT this point
there seemed some good buying and the

before the close to 90a4 d907s, closing nearly

option, however, again led in the advance.

cents of the advance lost at Sl4. The
news generally was bullish; receipts in
the northwest were 334 cars against 200
same day last year. Total clearances
from ports and Newport News aggregated
70S 600 for the day. Acceptances for export
were reported liberal. Broomhall wired
that the Russian crop prospects We're
growing more and more unfavorable. 1t
was also rumored that complications in
a political way were growing serious be-
tween Great Britain and Russia One mes
sage stated that England would take pos
session of the Chinese ports within three
Gays. In a general way, the situation IS
without material change. The first eff
fects now being felt on the strained rela-
ton between Spain and the United States
checked rather than encouraged an adj
vance. But the British and Russian COM
plications are likely to more than offset
a very peculiar position at the moment,
and it is difficult to see just where pres
ent complications many end. as we be
lieve with the large line of wheat held

of their source are likely to favor higher
prices because stocks are not sufficiently

market with the chances favOring the
long side for a while, at least. yet. Corn

become lighter and the country has been
pretty well cleared of corn. so that higher

" So in view of the sensational headlines
of morning papers, but we hear that con-
soils were higher and that government Sc
curities were a cent higher than yesteray.
Spanish bonds were also higher. This fact
more nearly represents the probabilities
of war than any other barometer. hence
we take it that so far as Spain and the
United States are concerned war is not
so near as it would seem.
