 The Western Mining World says: Opinions differ in Butte as to the effect of the war on the price of copper. Sev- eral prominent mining men, like Mir Wethey, believe the price will decline, while others just as firmly maintain that it will advance, inasmuch as the metal will be used for war purposes During the past month 5000 tons more were produced in the United States than in the preceding month, and the price has advanced.

CASTLE CREEK.

lack Evans and A. B. Williams are prospecting some very promising pla- cer claims in Castle Greek district Three shafts have been sunk, but bed rock has not been reached owing to water. The bed rock is about twelve feet deep at the mouth of the creek, and where Castle creek gulch appears there is an uprising of bed rock which holds the gravel from Banta creek in natural reservoir. It forms a gold pan which holds the gold and throws the washed gravel over it's rim with every rain They will put in pump to drain the diggings and the bed rock gravel will be hoisted and dumped into a sluice way Good colors have been found on the surface of the diggings and as far down as the water would al- low prospecting, and the owners think that bed rock will give them pay gravel. q
 A copper mine is also owned by Messrs. Evans and Williams in the same district, and Evans owns group consisting of three claims, two of them being on the same lead. and the third is higher up the mountain several hun dred feet on lead running parallel with the lower one One claim has considerable development work done on it, while the other two have not gone without attention
 The discovery claim known as the Evans is developed by tunnel which takes the course of the mountain and is defined and regular. Its greatest width is about eight feet including the accompanying mineraliZed gangue which copper lodges always give DOT -tions of their values. MT. Evans has worked this mine for many years, and at one time he had dumps we'll filled with the ere which came from the tunnel, but a heavy rain filled the gulch with water and his ore was taken down the gulch and buried in the gravel. On either side of the wash made by the flood remain small piles of ore which give the visitor an idea of the mines product. The other claims are developed by open cuts and small shafts.-Journal-M Miner.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 3I.-Everybody
knows now that SPANS flying squad
ron, four splendid cruisers and two
torpedo-boat destroyers, is imprisoned
in Santiago harbor. This fact hns been
known here % hours, and the specula-
ton now Is e theiprobable disposition
of the Observation-Disclosures they will
be blockaded or the forts reduced and
the vessels compelled to Sight In the
latter case there car be but one result,
for Commodore Schley has some of the
finest ships IN the world, TO say moth
ing of cruisers and various smaller YES
sells, and could In u few days be rein
forced by other powerful waY ships. 1t
would be foolhardiuess on the part of
Oervera to offer battle
An interesting story remains to be
told Of the reasons which led Oervera
to Santiago and of the way he was
hemmed in. II Is now known that
when the Spanish admiral sailed for
the West Indies he was expected to en-
tor San Juan de Porto Rico for coal
and supplies. On touching at Curacao
for news his plans were upset by the
ASNOARt "a OASPUVSA1Co "illAAS I1I0 Tina
Reur-Admiral Sampson had bombarded
the San Juan Notifications, and was
still in the neighborhood Of Porto
Rico. Thereupon Cervera sailed for
the south coast 0 Cuba Why he en-
tered Santiago harbor instead of the
harbor OF Cienfuegos Is not known,
bat the American commanders were
inclined to tAink ohe Spaniards would
go to the latter port.
1t is certain that Ce4vera could not
have eacgped from santiago without
being discovered, for the American
scouts had been providing about the
port for ten days, and other scouts had
not been far away. Practically
Santiago has been blockaded for that
length of time. Cerveras coal ship,
which followed him from Curacao to
Santiago, was captured hast .Wednes-
day, and at the very moment when the
queen regent was cabling her con-
gratulations the coils were tightening
about him.
The belief here is that ail other
movements in The West Indies will be
held in allegiance until the Spanish
squadron is disposed Of. In case San
tiago is attacked. the news Of the battle
will be sent from Mole St. Nicholas
and Kingston and the prizes and
wounded will be sent 90 Key West.
The movements Of vessels here yes
terdav were unimDortaut.

"AT YOU-ALL'S HOUSE."
James Newton Baskets Story of Mis-.
souri, Country Life Now on Sale
1t is a Splendid Work.

"At You-All's House" is the title of
a book just published by Mcmillan &
Co., of New York, and whose author
Is Mr.. James Newton Basket, of this
place. Mr.. Baskets talent and fame
as a naturalist, lecturer and writer
have long been a source of pride and
delight to his friends and fellow citi-
zens.
This, his latest work, Is, however
In some respects a new departure for
him and, while not wholly an innova-
ton, shows him possessed of other
talents, hitherto unsupported. His
| work heretofore has been almost
| wholly along scientific lines, while in
SAT You-AH's House" he has invaded
the realm of fiction, and his invasion
has proven a complete and unques-
tionable triumph.
ga Missouri Nature Story" is what
the author terms his book and this
| phrase best describes it. Nature it is
that speaks throughout the book. We
find her in all her varying moods, and
she is given expression in various
ways. The author is q lover of uni
versal nature and he has the secret of
her central heart Inc of her many
moods.
Like a limpid lake which reflects
the ever changing colors of the sur
rounding hills and the feeting clouds
In the over-hanging sky, his pages
glow and gloom as the shadows rest
or pass. His love of nature Is con-
tagious and one cannot pass under the
magic of his utterances and not feel
it's spell. The imprint of nature is
over the whole book and we derive
that sense of pleasure from 1t which
only comes from such work when 1t
is stepped IN the soil and has the stamp
of since ity upon it.
Missouri has long needed a chron-
icler-one who could write of her as
has Page of Virginia; Craddock of
Tennessee, and Allen of Kentucky.
In Mi. Basket 9 long felt want seems
satisfied. His work will live, and
increase in interest and power
CAT You-AlI's House" Is on sale at
Craddock's and Sallee's. Price, $3.50.
The typographical makeup of the
book, and the binding, are most hand

WAsuISGToN, June 1.-The frequent
reports from Spain through other
countries 10 the effect that q formida-
BILE feet is being prepared at Cadiz 70
sail for the West Indies IN aid Of Ger
vera causes little apprehension here.
Naval officers. through private means
Of communication, have pretty well
satisfied themselves that the
Cadiz feet is c paper feet. In other
words, its offensive power IS altogether
iliusory. More than half the vessels
whose names appear 50 frequently in
the press dispatches as formidable war
craft are of antiquated type and IN @
sad state Of disorder.
The old Numancia is an example.
She is rated al a battleship of the first
class. In her day she yT&s q battle
ship, but she has not 4 turret nor q
sponsor, and would be little more than
sport for 4 modern ironclad.
In addition TO being autiquated most
of these vessels are broken down IN
engines and boilers. Ia their reckless
disregard of she simplest precautions
for the preservation Of the complex
machinery OF nswar ship, the Spaniards
are excelicd by no people, and il is
well known that they have been Oh
liged t hire British engineers to run
their engines whenever they lid run.
r There are some vessels, although .
very few, at Cadia, Of modern type, but
they are not numerous nor powerful
enough TO give our navy any serious
OF course 1t is not to be understood
from this that our naval officers are
neglecting to take precautions against
surprise at Santiago. They have their
own scouts well out to the eastward OF
Cuba so that they may receive quick
notice If any Of the Cadiz fleet was
foolish enough 10 have started day
or two ago for the West indies, as IS
low reported from Europe.
The report that the. pope has ad-
dressed himself 90 President Mckinley
directly in an effort 10 bring abopt
peace between the United States and
Spain proves, upon Investigation, to be
grorndless. II is not believed that the

unusual course Of addressing himself
directly to our chief executive.
