nois, his staff in full uniform and a
crowd of distinguished Chicagoans.
Notable among the vessels in the har-
Dor was the presidents dispatch boat
Dolphin, having on board Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Allen and party
of Washingtonians. AS the hour for
the christening of the powerful addi-
tion to the country's fighting navy

WORKING THE MINE.

Work in the Ignite mine on the
farm of Amos Moon, three miles east
of this city has been resumed, two
parties from Illinois having been
engaged at the same for over a
week.
1t appears that the two miners
have commenced working from
another point of the base of the hill.
They have already penetrated it for
a depth of about 80 feet, and claim
that the Ignite grows much better
as they proceed inward, and they
feel quite positive of ultimately
gathering in good quality of coal.
Mr.. Moon was in town during
the past week, making quite extern
sive purchases of lumber to be used
in roofing the mine. He seems te
be as enthusiastic as ever over the
prospects of genuine coal being
located under the surface of his
farm.
