GUSS|E'S VICTORIOUS RETURN
DoRST EXPEDITION WAS a COM
PLETE FIZZLE.
Could Not Land the Cargo of Arms
and Ammunition Because the War
ships Would Not Cooperate.

Key West, May 15.-(Copyright, 1898,
by the Associated Press.)-The steamer
Gussie. which left Tampa, Fla. May
fartry on board. in charge of seven
thousand rifles and 100000 rounds of
ammunition, intended for the insur-
gents in the province of Pinar del Rio,
remained off the coast of Cuba Thurs
day, Friday and yesterday, conveyed
by the auxiliary gunboat Manning, In
vain attempt to land her cargo.
Captain j. H. Dorst, of the staff OF
General Miles. and formerly United
States military attache at Vienna,
headed the expedition, which returned
here this morning. Her commander,
who appeared to be much crestfallen,
having failed to accomplish the mis-
sion entrusted to him, refused TO dis
cuss the matter, beyond admitting the
failure, and saying the Gussie will re-
turn to Tampa, Fla
Previous to leaving Cuban waters, the
Dorst expedition force had a skirmish
with Spanish cavalry near Cabanas, 10
miles west of Havana, where an at
tempt was made to land part of the
cargo. On Friday morning Captain
porst abandoned the attempt at that
point, and steamed eastward to Matan-
Zas, where an arrangement had been
made with the insurgents to send sup
plies ashore at Point Maya, mile or
so east of the entrance Of the harbor.
The Gussie and her convoy yesterday
morning steamed within about two
miles OF shore, when the rattle of mus
kerry from a. considerable force of
Spanish soldiers concealed behind un-
derbrush ashore warned them that they
would receive lively welcome if they
landed. The Spanish troops seemed to
have been furnished information of the
contemplated landing at both points.
After this second failure, Captain Dorst
decided to abandon the attemptsto land
the arms and ammunition, and return
ed to Key West, where, as already
cabled, he arrived this morning.
A more Disguised looking lot Of troop
ers than those aboard the GusSie this
morning it would be hard to find. They
had received orders not to speak of
their trip, and sullenly lined the rail of
the Gussie as the Associated Press
launch ran alongside of her. But grunts
were the only answers which could be
obtained to the questions asked
Soon after the arrival of the Gussie,
Captain Dorst was rowed ashore and
reported the failure of his expedition
by cable to the war department.
Naval officers here say that if Cap

day with a lot of Julia Dean concen-
! trates made at the Giant Chief mill
! Considerable ground has been blocked
out in the Julia Dean, and stopping was
resumed this week. The ore coming
out is fine, and will average well with
the high grade for which the mine is
noted.
A. G. Green & Co., leasing the Wash
ington, this week broke into two feet
of peacock ore, which assays an
average of 10 per cent copper. 1t is
believed to be very important strike,
as showing the continuity of the Carr
Fork veins. The Washington lies be-
tween the Highland Boy and Frisco,
and slightly conflicts with the latter
The Dalton & Lark will start pumps
Monday to drain the lower level, which
can be done in 10 or II days. AS soon
as the mine is cleaned out, a force of
about 80 men will be put to work
sinking the main incline and extending
drifts of the $50 level, begun shortly
before pumps were drawn last year
We understand it is the intention of
shape for large output this summer
and fall.
At the annual meeting of the Phoenix
Mining company, held in the city on
Tuesday, Andrew Gebhardt was elected
president and manager; H. A Geb-
ndrCt, secretary, oscar YOungberg,
treasurer; and they, with Frank Hoff-
man and Peter Nestrom, trustees for
the ensuing year. The prospects of the
company are bright for a profitable
output this season, and active opera
tons are now beginning
The directors of the Badger Mining
company will hold a meeting today to
consider plans for increasing opera
lions on the Badger group, which con-
sists of six patented and one unpat-
ented claims. Immediate work con-
templated includes sinking the Happy
Go Lucky incline. which is now down
$40 feet and is to go to 600, at which
depth ore was first encountered in the
Brooklyn mine on the same vein. The
company is a strong one and will ulti-
mately work the group on a large
scale
The Silver Dollar, which was owned
by Edmunds e Co. and is now operated
by an incorporated company, has a
force of men at work, and a nice streak
of ore of good grade is being followed

which was worked with valves. 1t had
3O-foot lift and 3OO-foot discharge.
Wiseacres said the siphon could not be
made to lift 80 feet, and have learned
something.

BUTTE MINING DEAL.
Sale of Valuable Property to the
Washoe COMPANY.


One of the most important mining
deals which has taken place in the
camp for some time, or since the Moon
light was sold by Dave Bricker to the
Wsshoe company for $700,000 has been
ccnsummated in the past few days,
says the Butte Miner. The Washoe
company has secured under bond and
lease, and partly by outright purchase
il is stated on good authority, the Hes
perus, the Lizzie, Yellow Jack and the
Colorado fraction lode claims, all lying
in close proximity TO the well known
HesTrluS iat.,
sideration is said to be about three
quarters of d million dollars, and some
extensive developments will take place
in the near future.
The Hesperus is one of the best
known claims which passes to the
WaShoe company, and though there
has been some money spent in devel-
opment work. and no pay ore bodies so
far discovered, many mining men say
that with depth there is likely to be
found large veins of good copper ore.
There is a well defined lead on the
south side of the Hesperus, and one
also known as the north vein, on which
a shaft has been sunk, and consider
able development work done. For over
Il years the Hesperus lode claim was
in the courts, and title to it was fin
ally awarded to James A. Murray and
his associates, Mr. Murray owning
large interest in the property.
The Lizzie lode was owned mainly by
Hickey Brothers. The title, like that
of nearly all the claims in that vicin-
ity. was for long time in contest, but
has been settled up. The Yellow Jack
was in dispute for years, and finally
the surface was decided to certain
claimants, and the mineral rights TO
Pat Mullin, VINO has now transferred
it to the Washoe company. The Col
orado is a small fraction.
1t is stated that the Washoe COM
pany will sink down 1000 feet on the
Hesperus, and a shaft the same depth
will go down on the Yellow Jack in
the near future. Some extensive cross
cutting and exploration work will be
done on all the claims before next fall.

SHOWING IN THE vALEo.
The Management Highly Elated
Over Its Condition.

The Park Record, in its weekly min
Ing review, says:
The strike in the Valeo, mentioned
last week, is proving up in good shape
every shifts work showing the vein &c
be larger and stronger. The drift is be-
ing run to the west, and owing to a
water course having been struck early
in the week, the report got out that an
immensely large cave had been encoun-
tered. The character of ore now being
extracted shows much gray copper
while some native copper has been en-
countered. The management is highly
elated at the appearance of the prop
erty, and now feel confident that the
Valeo is going to meet the fondest eX-
pectations of it's owners.
CAMP CROSSCUTS.
c. P. Brooks came out from the city
Monday, to survey the site of the new
Silver King mill.
The annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers OF the Columbus Mining company is
called 10 meet in this city on May 3.
The assessment of 119 cents a share
has just been levied by the Constella-
ten Mining company. 1t becomes de-
nncuent on June g.
Tuesday was pay day at the Silver
King and Anchor mines. Silver King
stockholders also pocketed the usual
monthly dividend of $37 500.
Surveyor Robert Gorlinski came out
from the city Thursday. and has since
been engaged in making underground
surveys, for use in the great Crown
oint-Ontario Mining company suit,
which, it is understood, is to be fought
to finish.
w. H. Bond returned to the Park list
Tuesday, and on Wednesday morning
went to work in the refinery at the
Marsac mill. 1t seems like old times to
see Mr.. Bond in that portion of the
mill, and we hope he will soon be turn
ing out silver bullion s99 fine, as in
days of yore.
1t is expected to begin repairing the
roadbed of the Crescent tramway some
time next week, unless storms inter
vent to prevent. How long this work
will take, Mr.. Loofbourow says 1t is
impossible to tell before an eXamina-
ton is made, but it is thought it will
take quite a while, as many of the ties
are very old, and will require replacing
before trains can be run with safety.
A force of about fifteen men is now
at work making repairs at the Marsac
mill, and it will be two weeks or more
before the mill is ready to run. The
roasting furnace has been put in good
order, and the maSonS are now TT work
in the refinery. Quite number of i'm
DroVements are noticeable about the
place, and when operations are COM
menced the old mill will look quite trim

THE BLACKFooT RESERVATION
Formation of the Swift Current
Mining District.

The Miner, of Butte, Mont, gives the
following interesting account of the
opening of the Blackfoot reservation
for mineral location, and the rush of
miners and prospectors into this sup
posedly rich mineral section:
M. D. Baldwin. eX-agent at the
Rlackfeet reservation, was a visitor in
the city. On April 10, when the reser-
walton was thrown open for mineral To-
cations, Mr.. Baldwin was at st. Mary's
and witnessed the incoming rush of
men who We're looking for locations.
Many of them were apparently suffic-
iently at home to locate claims while
several feet of snow covered the
ground.
About 100 men We're waiting at the
edge of the reservation for the procla-
nation said Mr.. Baldwin. and there
was rush at once-to the district where
there are good surface indications OF
mineral. The snow was several feet
deep or the mountains at that time,
and some, of the men found it a diff
cult mattH TO stake out claims, as they
had to look for leads under the snow,
while others only had to remove certain
stakes planted in the previous summer
and put down their own stakes, feeling
sure of having a claim with at least
good surface indications.
There was not the great rush that

of some OF the ships OF the blockading

landing, the Spanish troops ashore
could have been Shelled ana way

given TO the ships to cooperate with

heave to while cruising up and down
the coast by the blockade vessels,
whose commanders were under the ap-
prehension that she was trying TO run
the blockade.

which was lying off MatanZas on Fri
day night, reported that signal lights
were seen ashore east of Point Sabilla,
and some of her officers say they be-
lieve the insurgents, having ascertain
ed that the rendezvous at Point Maya
had been discovered by the enemy, de-
sired a landing to be made at another
point, but Captain DorSt held to his
original plans and found the Spanish
troops awaiting him.
DORSTS EXPLANATION.
Captain Dorst says the failure OF the
expedition was due TO the fact that the
CubanS were unable to meet the land
irg party at the rendezvous, and the

by a force of insurgents encamped

Both the Cuban parties We're unable,
apparently, to appear at the rendez-

the captain believes the only way arms

to beat off any attack Then, he adds,
the arms and ammunition should be
conveyed inland by United States SOL
diers.
The captain says the company which
landed through the surf at CabanaS
had a narrow escape. The soldiers
were fired upon by Spanish cavalry ;
