Washington, March 1O.-The naval

from new vessels, dry docks and armor.
The increases allowed are such as to
meet the gradual development of the

gregates $2,500,000, identical with the
estimates. This includes about $780,

MINING IN PEEPSToNE.
Possibilities of the Camp Are Prom
Using and Encouraging.


1t has been some time since much
has been said regarding Peepstone dis
trict. over tie range of mountains east
of Mercur: but, while the camp has
been abandoned during the past year
or so to a certain extent, there are
still those who have faith in its future
outcome and who claim that such
strong and heavily mineraliZed lodges
will surely lead to Something good with
depth. among the number being Will
lam G. Taylor, of this city, who re-
newed operations in the camp a few
weeks ago in the development of the
Monitor group, and who was in Salt
Lake yesterday with samples of rock
which appear to be gold bearing, and
upon which fire and chemical tests are
now being made.
In speaking of the outlook for the
Monitor Mr.. Taylor states that in the
bottom of a 60-foot incline shaft he has
uncovered from II to u feet of black
shalcs of a talcish nature that is heav-
lily impregnated with iron pyrites, and
which. he believes, Will carry good gold
values, although the indications are
that this slate is only the Gaping of
the vein, and what gives strength to
this theory is the fact that a few feet
away there is a strong ledge of decom-
posed quartz, closely resembling the
product of the Geyser- Marion mine at
Mereur. This ledge crops boldly at the
surface and is all of 80 feet in width,

order restoring the wages of the en-
