Yesterday morning a trainload OF
ore, consisting of IA cars of mineral
from the South Swansea mine, steamed
out of Silver City and will probably
be received at the Pennsylvania smelt-
er today, the lot embracing carbonate,
straight lead, first-clasS and second
class ores, and in addition to this two
carloads were sent out the previous
day. virtually making the consignment
of 16 carloads, the returns from Wnlch
will make visible increase in the
treasury account of the company,
which has been considerably added to
during the past six months.
Previous to this last shipment the
company had already marketed eight
carloads of ore so far this month, and
it is the intention to maintain regular
and quite heavy consignments in the
future, on which account 1T is believed
that the output of the mine for the
month of June will exceed in tonnage
and value the record for any previous
month in the history of this splendld
piece of property, which, in the dis
tributiOn of dividends Will soon pass
the 100000 mark
AS is we'll known, the South Swan
sea is in splendid condition, with sur
ficient ore blocked out in its workings
to maintain steady extraction Tor
long time to come, and, as matter
of fact, the dividends paid so far have
virtually come from ore taken out IN
doing development work, as but very
little stopping has been done so far
while a. large amount of work has been
done in sinking the shaft and in run
ming of drifts and air connections on
the ore body, the shaft now being down
a depth of $50 feet, at which point
station has been cut and drifts are
now being run on the vein, the body
of ore being as strong and permanent
at this point as in any of the workings
of the mine. everything pointing to the
fact that the ore bodies go to the deep.
The South Swansea has made a most
creditabIe record ever since Tommy
Crcxau began sinking through the wash
with the view of finding an extension
of the old Swansea vein, and during
the brief time that it has been in the
hands of the present company nne
hoist has been installed and other i'm
provements made, until now it is CON
sidered as being one of the greatest
little mines in the great Tintlc dlstrlct-

A HANNAIZED PREACHER.
Dixon Advocates Conquest and a
Billion Dollar Navy.

New York. June 20.-"Necessity for
the Construction of a Mighty Navy
for This Nation" was the subject Sc
lected by Rev Thomas Dixon at the
Grand Opera House last night He said
in part:
s.Monasticism. which is the term to
describe the principle of that class who
want isolation for this nation means
decay of the mind, means death in the
individual, and as much in the nation.
In the condition with which we are
face to face now, we have all Deen
brought to realize the necessity for a
mighty navy. The westerner who be-
fore did not see why the construction
of a court house at his particular cross
roads. was not of more Importance
than the building of a battleship, now
sees We have discovered that navy
cannot be bought in "a crisis, or over
the counter. Money counts for naught.
We tried that. We have proved that
it takes foresight and skill to make a
navy.
with that knowledge, which we
have bought dearly, II is now the i'm
mediate duty of the United States to
begin building the 9mfghtiest navy in
the world at an expenSttur of not less
than 81. O0O, 900, 900. 1t is the only guar
antee of peace.
1--WE have Monroe doctrine. which
is a dangerous policy unless we have
adequate means to enforce it. We
must have navy to hold our new ter
ritory, and hold it we must. We can't
give it back to Spain without COM
plete qualification of our policy. 1t
would be contrary to every principle
for which we have fought. 1t is our
destiny to keep it. and we must be
prepared to live our destiny"

SM0KELESS POWDER DESTROYED
The Work of Enemies. One of Whom
Was Injured

Cincinnati. June 20.-The finish de-
partment of the King County Powder
company, located at Kings Mills, in
Warren county, was destroyed last
night in a manner leading to the belief
that it was the work of enemies of the
government. The building, in which
was stored a quantity of smokeless
powder, had evidently been fired by
two men near midnight, one of whom
was badly burned and has been ap-
parently dragged away from the burn
ing building by his companion. who
then ran away in the direction of
South Lebanon. Smckeless powder in
the condition it was in in this depart
ment does not explode, like ordinary
powder, with a fash, but breaks into
a bright light and burns for some time.
The great light attracted citizens, and
some of these met stranger going
toward South Lebanon.
The injured man was taken into GUS
tody. He is apparently a foreigner,
but is so badly injured that he can
scarcely talk The powder burned
was not for the government, and the
money loss is inconsiderable, perhaps
$1,000. This company has a contract
to supply the government and this is
thought to be the reason it's destruction
was attempted.

The Highland Boy.

Thomas Weir, the resident manager
of the Highland Boy mine at Bingham,
who has just returned from a visit to
this wonderful property, informs The
Herald that the proposed smelter for
the mine is now assured and that the
plant will be in operation sometime
during the present season, the plans
calling for a structure capable of
handling several tons of ore daily, al
though but two furnaces will be put in
at first: the site of the reduction works
being located on the railroads about
three miles north of Bingham juno
ton.
AS for the cyanide mill at the mine
Mr. Weir states that it has been closed
down and that it will not be started up
again until after the new smelter is in
operation. although it is not an as
sured fact that it will even then be
started up on Highland Boy low grade
gold ores.
Mr. Weir had most pleasant time
during his recent visit east but he
is glad to be in Utah once agin, where
nearly all of his interests are centered.

The Mammoth Dividend.

The board of managers of the Mann
moth Mining company held meeting
yesterday afternoon. and declared its
regular monthly dividend of . cents a
share, or $4,000, payable on June so,
the transfer books closing on the 24th
inst.
This will make two scent dividends
that the Mammoth company will have
paid this month, which is most cred

opinion in certain circles that the as

is in magnificent condition, with large

The distribution of this DIVIDEND,
which is No. As. will bring the total

CORRESPONDENCE of the Associated Press0
Key West, Fla. June ia prom
inent resident of Havana, who left
that place on the 5th inst, arrived here
yesterday on his way to New York
His description of the situation in Ha-
Vana at the time he left contradlcts
widespread reports of famine and sui
fering in that citv and throws new
light on the effectiveness of the block
ade, which, it appears, fails IN It's
purpose as far as cutting all means OF
supplies and communication with the
outside world is concerned.
His story is entitled to full credence
and consideration, coming, as IL ooes.
from one of the leading merchants 81
Havana. a foreign resident, unbiased
in his views or sympathies. He says
in the first place, that Havana IS prac-
tically an open port, as 1t is not DOCK
AIDED on its southern approach.
Batabano. on the south side, is only
40 miles from Havana, with which city
it is connected by rail
Batabano has never been more than
a shipping point and headquarters
for the sponge fisheries of southern
Cuba, and landing place for the Isle
of Pines ferry boats, which there con-
meet with the northbound trains Ior
Havana The water between Batapa-
no and the Isle of Pines being very
shallow, nowhere exceeding nine feet
in depth, and therefore inaccessible TO
any large craft, has caused the Isle
of Pines to be overlooked as a possible
entrepot or base of supplies for west
Cuba, and as a point deserving OF
greater consideration than that at
taching to a fifth-rate and mismanaged
penal colony.
1t appears, however, that constant
traffic has been kept up between tne
Isle of Pines and Yucatan and that ruiz
cargoes of provisions and live STOCK
have been regularly landed there from
steamers, schooners and other SAILING
vessels, unmoleSted by American war
ships. which rarely if ever patrol those
waters.
The work of shipping these car
goes to Batabano on the fiat-bottom
ferryboats constantly plying between
that port and Nueva Gueron, the prln-
cipal port of the Isle of Pines, mas
been an easy matter. as also their SUP
sequent transportation to Havana by
rail.
In the first four days of June, it is
asserted. over 500 head of cattle We're
landed at Batabano, besides large
quantities of flour and grain. Not only
are the shipments not limited to sup
plies of provisions and the necessarles
of life. but our informant reports
that coal in large quantities IS also
brought over. This statement practlc-
ally confirms the reports that the span
ish government has established large
coal depots on the Yucatan canal.
At the outbreak of hostilities 1t was
reported that Havana had sufficient
reserve supplies in store to last SIN
months. Since then, it is asserted
fresh shipments have been received
by way of Batabano and the Isle -ol
/ Pines. far in excess of the consump-
ton, so that apparently, so far as SUI
/ fering from the evils OF the plockadt
/ is concerned. Havana has kept up the
even tenor OF an unruffled existence
| with sufficient stores on hand to last
| another half year.

W. F. Snyder of Richfield, one OF the
leading mining operators Gold

business
As previously stated in these col
umns, Mr. Snyder has already begun
work in the operation of the Holland
placers on Gold Mountain, and he
states that after cleaning away the
debris. the accumulation caused by
