lived for years, and as she had been
personally acquainted with the par

After she had finished and we had
spoken of the many strange points Of
the case, the old man Strengthened

THE New York Tribune observes
that cargoes aggregating $4,000 tons
are on their way to San Francisco by
sea; but it discovers nothing mere In
the fact than a poetical interest in a
revival of the romance which used to

The TScheminicum Club.

The principal number of a very ex-
cellent programme given at the
Tscheminicum Club at its last meeting
was the reading given by Mrs. G. w.
Shaft of selections from the poems OF
Richard Hovey and the excellent dis
cussion that followed. The study of
contemporary writer's and artists is prov
ing a very delightful feature Of the club
work for this year. The men and women
i'll the public eye and under popular
favor can always obtain ready hearing
at the meetings of the club, and the fact
that the poet had himself selected for the
reader the poems to be read gave a note
OF personality to the reading and discus
sion that marks it as one of the most
interesting meetings of the year.
The critics find in the works of Richard
Hovey the true fire of poesy and are
pleased to give him standing second to
none among the writers of today. The
fact that the standard magazines Harpers,
Atlantic and Century give his poems
publication shows the appreciation the
public demands for his work,
The readings given were from his
short poems and from his story of the
Arthurian Cycle. For beauty of diction
and poetic fancy nothing i'll our latter
day verse excels this work of Mr.. Hovey's,
and the club members will read his pro-
ductions now with the added pleasure of
a personal interest which arises as a
result of last Saturdays meeting
1t seems peculiarly fitting at this time
to have had this discussion of Mr.. Hovey s
work since his brother Mr., Alfred Hovey
has recently come to Lewiston to reside
permanently.

Progress in Buffalo Deals.

Bert Rigley has been in the city for
few days. He has received his first pay
ment of almost half of S25 900 on the
Big Buffalo sale. He is now on his way
to his old home in the east to spend the
balance of the winter with relatives and
friends. w. L. Kettenbach, OF the Lew
iston National, went to Grangeville and
distributed this payment of $4,000. This
installment fulills one condition of the
payment of S575 900, which is to be made
during the next year and half. 1t also
confirms the later sale of the same prop
erty to Toronto and New York syndi-
| cate for 500 900.
This Buffalo money nearly all goes to
local business men and prospectors. 1t
its will be largely invested i'll Lewiston
realty and local business enterprises
This will, perhaps, be the first positive
and effective benefit of this great min
eral discovery. The investment of this
large outside capital in our mines will
have an effect that will be far-reaching
and permanent. The development of
the camp is assured, not alone by this
sale, but by the transfers of other prop
| lerties for sums that will make the total a
million and half. This is the largest
| bona hde investment ever made i'll a new
| camp,
A. +. Parker, a close observer and
of large experience, was in compBny with
| Mr., Rigley, and he expresses the belief
that the Buffalo camp is the greatest dis
covery of the age. He believes the
greatest gold camp in the United States,
| if not in the world, will be in this inte-
rior. The great future camp will include
the whole region from Newsome, Elk,
Dixie, Badger, Buffalo, aud Malleck to
Warrens. This fact is almost beyond
controversy. The discovery dates only
from August last, and the progress to the
present magnitude has been made il
winter, and the deposits are in region
of SHOWS and cold. All this considered
makes the progress wonder. There are
now dozen properties in this region any
one of which would justify the claim o
wealth that is now set up.
The location of Buffalo camp viii
call for railroad communication. The
ore deposits can be reached from Salmon
river more asily than from the Clearwa
ter. This fact favors Lewiston as a sup
ply center and a point for treatment o
ores. The ores of this camp will surel,
be treated by smelling when depth ha
been attained. This treatment will de
mand coal, which will surely come from
the new fields on the Grande Ronde
The economy of nature has supplies
these accessories of commerce in proxim
ity and so their concentrating force cal
supply the channels of commerce fron
, one common center.

The bridge construction mastered the
waters in pier No. 6 yesterday afternoon.
The big centrifugal pump, when once
put to duty in full capacity, lowered the
flood in the pit till the workInen could
shovel the gravel. A big force was put
to work and soon the required depth was
acquired. The concrete was then put in
place as fast as it could be made to set.
The work was accomplished just in the
nick of time, for old Snake river began
to rise within few hours after the con-
crete foundation was in place. The water
came up two feet during the night, but
the concrete was built higher i'll the
meantime than the water came up.
1t is reported by c. Whitcher, J. J.
Yoakum and Charles Sampson that Mrs.
II. o. haxon who was living on Hog
island in the Clearwater six miles above
Lewiston was rescued after much suffer
! ing from sickness and exposure last
Tuesday. She had been but poorly
sheltered and supplied when the severe
weather came. She was unable to com
| municate with her neighbors and ever
after the neighbors were apprised of hel
distress they could not reach her for two
| days on account of floating ice. The
neighbors came to the city Thursday t
ask aid for the family. In the meai
time they were made comfortable by til,
friends who rescued them. J. o. Maxoi

and will not return for several weeks

w. H. Buffers, the manager of the big
dredging scheme on the Red river mead
ows, near Elk, is in the city, arranging
for the transfer of 10000 pounds Of ma
chinery to camp I4o miles distant.
Buffers Bros, of Spokane, are placing an
improved thoroughly-tested dredging
plant on this placer field. When COM
pleted by the estimated expenditure of
$4,000 this proposition will be one of
the greatest mining enterprises in this
district. The company has acquired 1850
acres of placer ground that is rich in
gold. The plant they are installing will
handle 1000 yards Of gravel daily, and
the profits of the gold can be saved will
be $1,000 daily. The vast gravel deposit
will occupy the plant for 40 years.

An Expert S Opinion.

Mr.. William Chambers said to a
Spokesman Review reporter in Spokane
After having made 600 miles from
Dawson City to the coast by snowshoes
and dog train the trip from Florence to
the Buffalo Hump is pleasure, and
they made the run through in two days,
there being two good camps for stopping
places on the road, so that the trip was
quite pleasant.
THE whole country is covered with a
great depth of snow and the temperature
during the trip on one occasion was suffi-
ciently low to upset and break the ther-
nometer. The Big Buffalo, which is
opened up now by four crosscuts, has the
earmarks of making one of the greatest
gold producers the world has ever seen.

matter until he returned to the Cabi-

He had the subject investigated by NJ.

evidence, however.

After this General Billot referred to

Colonel PicIuart always acted without

The General justified his treatment of

HoBsoN's REPORT.
Value Of the Three Spanish Ships Now
Complete, 100000.

Washington, Aug. 14-Naval Construc-
tor Richmond Pearson Hobson was
heard from by the Navy De
partment today for the first
time at any length since he
was assigned to duty in charge Of the
Spanish ships raised from Manila har-
bor and now undergoing repairs ut Hong
Kong.
His report is unusually interesting,
dealing in general questions, such as the
need Of large dock yard in the Orient,
the increasing shipping at Manila and
the prospect that Manila will succeed
Hong Kong as the emporium of the
East, the value of Chinese labor in all
branches OF industry, etc. lie also says
the three Spanish ships which are com,
pleted will be worth to the Government
about $610,000, and he contemplates try
ing to raise three more Spanish vessels
now at the bottom of Manila Bay. The
letter is addressed to Rear Admiral
Hichborn, Chief of the Bureau of Con-
struction, and is dated at Hong Kong
July 18th.
lie says, in part:
THE three vessels under reconstrnc-
tion, the Isla de Cuba, Isla de Luzon
and Don Juan dc Austria, are at abort
equal stages of completion, which | esti-
mate to be about so per cent compared
with the vessels fitted out ready for sea.
| estimate that the time of completion
will be about six weeks after the arrival
Of armament and electric plant.
II estimate the value of these vessels
when completed, exclusive of armament,
to be about as follows:
'Isla de Cuba $215,000.
'Isla de Luzon $215,000.
''Don Juan de Austria $1S0,000.
Total estimated value of all three
vessels $610,000."
He then shows that the raising and re-
fitting has cost about 1904, 900, making
net gain to the Government on the
three vessels of 100000. He gives the
credit for this result to Naval Construc-
tor Capps, who-made the contracts.
