HARD WORK ON TETRO.
Indefatigable Efforts That Have
Thus Far Been Unrewarued.
lSpeciaI Corresnonden1

Especial Correspondence
Eureka, May 24.-The Tetro group,
comprising the Tetro, Alabama, Africa
and Indian claims, situated west of the
Humbug and Uncle Sam. have been en-
ergetically and Systematically pros
pected by that most industrious of
hustlers, Gus Tetro, for d number of
years. Sixteen hundred feet of tunnel
ing, with innumerable drifts, cross
cuts, Slopes and wines have been done
IN search of the ore chutes that every
one feels confident should have been
disclosed, and yet the hunt has been
practically unrewarded. Near the
breast of the tunnel Il drift has been
run south thirty feet, at the end of
which Wine has been sunk to depth
Of sixty feet, anu considerable low
grade ore has come in at a point very
near the Godiva line.
AS the situation presents itself now,
Mr.. Tetro will direct his efforts and
energies towards working the winze to
a great depth. 1t is, OF course. possible
That in pursuing operations the ore
zone has been passed. or that it strikes
through portions of the company's ter
ritory not yet explored. but one thing is
certain Mr., Tetro has been indefa-
ugable in his labors. and very intelli-
gent and persistent in prosecuting
work, which evidences the fact that in
dustry is not always rewarded. Seven
men and two Burleigh machines are
being worked, and the winze will be

FRISCO ASSESSMENT SUIT.
Why Ben Schwab Wants His Stock
Returned

Before Judge Rolapp. who sat yester-
day in the equity division of the dis
| trict court in place of Judge Hiles. the
case of Ben Schwab VS.. the Frisco Min
ing d Milling company was tried. The
suit is for the possession of 20. 900 shares
OF the company's stock, of the alleged
value of s3,400. which was sold under
an assessment on Sept. Is. 1898.
The plaintiff claims that the assess
ment was illegal and void, as the board
OF directors had never taken an oath
OF office. He asserts that he subse-
quently offered to pay the assessment
after the sale. and rendered the full
amount due, $4T5. but that the COM
pany refused to accept it. The COM
pany asserts that Schwab had stated
that he had concluded not to pay any
more assessments, as he fOresaw that
there would be many more before the
company would be upon a paying basis,
and that he would let it go under the
assessment. The company also claims
that the stock was sold to a number
OF other stockholders, and that Schwab
was guilty of laches in waiting until
the mine had become more valuable.
and until he saw that it would be
profitable for him to pay the assess
ments to get his stock back Judge
holapp took the case under advisement.
Frank Pierce appeared for Mr..
Schwab, and Frank Stephens for the
Frisco company

GEYsER-MARIoN CHANGES.
Resignation of Manager and Director
A. Hanauer Jr.

The regular monthly meeting of the
directors of the Geyser- Marion was
held in this city yesterday afternoon
and it was a lively one from start to
finish. In fact, it was too lively to wind
UP all the business which came before
Il in one day, so an adjournment was
taken to Saturday next to complete it.
The resignation of A. Hanauer, jr.,
as a director, was accepted and a. II.
Moon was chosen to fill the vacancy.
The reason given for Mr.. Hanauer's
resignation WAS that he had recently
sold his stock in the company
Next came the resignation of Mr.
Bamberger, botn as manager of the
property and also as a director 1t was
stated that he had withdrawn as man
ager, TO take effect June l, IN order to
accept a more lucrative position else
where, but as to why he had resigned
as a director could not be learned At
this point in the proceedings an ad-
journment was taken till Saturday.
No intimation as TO who will succeed
Mr.. Bamberger as director has been
given out, but it is learned from an
unofficial source that L. g. Legg will
be rendered the management of the
mine.
Asked regarding the outlook at the
mine and whether or not a dividend
would soon be paid President Dern said
the mine was in splendid condition, but
just when dividends would be resumed
he could not say. 1--WE have had no
thought of paying a dividend this
month"; said he. THE company has
been paying off the judgment of $4,000
held against it during the past several
months and the last $1,000 will be paid
at once, so that matter will be off our
hands"

New York. May 24-The Evening
World prints an interview with Senator
T. c. Plat in which the latter is quoted
as strongly advocating the renonina-
ton of President Mckinley and Vice
President Hobart The interview says:
Senator Platt said that all the criti-
cism which had been flung at Mckin-
ley cannot alter facts and that the
president has conducted in magnificent
style the shortest and most decisive
war of modern times and simply as
tonished the old world by the way in
which he did it,"
This general satisfaction" continued
Senator Platt, has had undoubteo
ton wherever he has been. Without
a shadow of doubt he will be nominated
and elected.
THE Republican party is stronger
than it ever was. Vice President Ho-
bart win be elected with Mckinley. He
is my choice for vice president. just as
Mckinley is for president. AS for the
Democratic party, it has only one is
sue-silver-and that has been repudi-
ated by the entire country.

Mr., Kidder says the water is now
700 nigh to accomplish much, as most
of the bars along the river are under
water.
There is lots of gravel, from Dandy

miles or more, that will run from %

opinion, they viii never be made to
pay as they should until a combination
of capital and brains takes hold and
works them on large scale with
modern appliances.
Below Dandy Crossing are same
valuable coal deposits close enough to
the river TO be utilized in supplying
power to electric digs.ing and washing

machinery necessary to work the bars

little nerve and men with the mental
capacity, mechanical skill and common
sense, can be persuaded to take hold
OF the proposition, big returns on the
investment are certainty.
Mr.. hidder says practically all the

most of them could be secured by any

AFRAID OF THE CRUISER,
Norfolk People rear Yellow Fever On
the Reina Mercedes.


Washington, May 24.-The navy de-
partment is making ready to receive the
captured and raised Spanish cruiser
Reina Mercedes at the Norfolk navy
yard, if it can succeed in allaying the
apprehensions of the people of Norfolk
as to the safety of the movement. There
has been some Geographic correspond
ence between the navy departmnt and
Admiral Farquhar, commandant at the
Norfolk navy yard respecting the adj
mission of the ship to the navy yard.
Surgeon General Van Reypen has given
the matter his personal attention, and
recalling the fact that the Mercedes
has been under water since early last
July, that there never was fever on
board of her, and finally that there is
no fever at Santiago whence she came,
he has recommended to Assistant Sec
rotary Allen, who is directly in charge
of the repairs of ships, that the original
plan be carried out, and that the Mer-
cedes be brought to the Norfolk navy
yard.
Surgeon General Wyhnan of the ma
rine hospital service was first consulted
by Surgeon General Van Reypen, mas
much as he is in charge of the national
quarantine service at Norfolk, and he
declared that there would be no danger
in adopting this course, particularly as
he would undertake to have the Mer-
cedes thoroughly disinfected and
cleansed.

ceived the application of the New York
