NEvADA's PUBLIC LANDS.

The annual report Of the Comms
sioner OF the General Land Office for
the fiscal year ending June 3Oth, last
has been made public. 1t shows
that there is still large quantity OF
land in the Western States available
to settlers. The following paragraphs
relating to Nevada are taken from
the report;
In Nevada there are %, 16O, 462 acres
OF surveyed and unappropriated land
and 2,l58,278 acres Of unsurveyed
and unappropriated lands, $4,000
are reserved and 3,226,49l acres ap-
proprlated.
The Surveyor General Of Nevada
recommended that Congress be asked
to extend the mineral land laws
to include the saline lands
I'D the State. At present there is no
law Of Congress under which a title
can be obtained in Nevada to saline
lands, much to the Inconvenience of
the people. The Surveyor General
asks for $4,000 for surveying public
lands, aud $4,000 for re-establishing
and connecting mineral monuments.
He says-this estimate is based upon
the real need for surveys in the STATE
and that as matter of fact a sum
several times as large would be re-
quired to make the survey that are
asked for.

Great Increase in Gold Production.
or the ten billion dollars worth of
gold produced in the world since the
discovery Of America, more than one.
half has been produced since 1880
and more than fourth since 1885.
Or to put it in other words, half of
the gold product Of the last 400 years
has been produced within 40 years
and fourth within Is years.
These facts regarding the gold pro-
duction OF the world are presented
by some compilations of the treasury
bureau OF statistics and when sum
married show that the grand total Of
gold produced from 1893 to,including
the estimate for 1899 am cunts to &c..
933,O59,G0O.
The following is statement of the
annual average production during
certain periods:

Regarding the effect of the suspen-
sion of gold production in the Trans
vaal it is stated that the pold produc
ton Of the entire world outside of the
Transvaul mines is now double that
OF the entire world including the
Transvaal mines decade ago, and
exceeds that Of the entire world in
any year prior to 1897, thus showing
the ability OF the mines of other parts
OF the world to furnish more than the
average addition to the worlds
money supply that have been made in
the immediate past.-Pacific Bee.

ROYAL FISHERWOMEN.
Ladies In the English Royal Fam

The only killing" form of sport in

lily is fishing, the princess of Wales, the
duchess of Fife, and Princess Louise.
i::archioness of Lorne, being all enthu-
slaslc iisherwomen. When acting as
vice queen of Canada Princess Louise
used to go out in n canoe with natives
for guides, and on one occasion she dis
patched three of her finest fish, of
course securely packed in ice, to the
queen at Balmoral. The princess of
Wales and her daughters go out almost
every day when staying with the duch-
ess of Fife at New Mar LODGE,
and some two years ago the duchess
landed the largest number of fish aver
taken in one day on the Dee by a fisher

The prince of Wales does not now own

THE AMERICAN PLAN.
ton Proposed by Our Dele
gates at The Hague.

The Hague, June both sections OF
the disarmament committee met
Wednesday and, as was anticipated,
failed to agree with regard to .he ques-
tons of new inventions in armaments.
The drafting committee of the arbitra-
ton committee made some advance.
The American delegates submitted
their scheme relating to an arbitration
tribunal. The plan differs from the
British proposal. In substance it is as
follows:
1t provides that each country shall ap-
point a single arbitrator, to be selected by
the supreme courts of the signatory pow
ers. The tribunal shall have a permanent
central seat, and be composed of at least
three Judges. who shall not be natives or
residents of countries belonging to the
powers in disaccord. The general expenses
shall be shared proportionately. In the
event of new facts arising within three
months of a decision, the same tribunal
shall have power to try again the ques-
tions in dispute. Recourse to the tri-
bunal shall be optional for the sgnatory
powers. The tribunal shall not take cog
nizance of any dispute until assured that
the parties concerned will accept its de-
cision. The convention shall come into
force and the tribunal be established when
nine powers, eight of whom shall be Eu-
ropean or American and four of whom shall
be signatories of the declaration of Paris,
1856, shall have adhered to the convention.
Apart from the above project, the
Americans proposed a special scheme
of mediation, providing that, in the
event of a difference arising between
two powers, each shall choose another
power to act as it's second. The powers
thus selected shall do all they can to
reconcile the opponents. These Sec
onding powers shall, even when war
has broken out, continue their efforts
with a view of ending hostilities as
soon as n0SSihle

A VICIOUS HORSE.
1t Tramples n Baby to Death and
Fatally Injuries the Child's Father
Sad Affair In Chicago.

Chicago, June John Lind, a coal
dealer living at Bis Princeton avenue,
and his four-months-old son, Raymond,
were attacked by a vicious horse in a
barn at the rear of 1853 Princeton ave-
nue.. Wednesday afternoon. The child
was trampled to death and Lind re-
ceived injuries which it is thought will
prove fatal. Lind, carrying the baby
in his arms, entered the stall occupied
by the horse, and the animal being
frightened by the child, which was
dressed in white, attacked the father
and child, biting and kicking savagely.
1t then broke loose from the stall. Lind
was felled to the barn floor by a kick
in the head from one of the horses
hoofs which rendered him unconscious.
The child fell from its fathers arms and
rolled under the hoofs of the animal to
be trampled into shapeless mass.

The Relief lies in the harbor in front of
this city. Third Officer Fred Heppy
and Assistant Engineer Charles Bland
ford rigged sail on one of the ships
boats and went sailing along the shore,
on the south opposite the insurgent
lines. The beat became becalmed near
the shore and some native canoes with
Filipinos on board put out and captured
the two men, who were unarmed, and
also took possession of the boat. The
United States turret ship Monadnock
quickly sent boat with landing
party ashore, under cover of her guns,
and shelled the shore briskly. The ma
tives, however, rushed the prisoners
into the woods before the Monadnock's
boat reached land.
