NEEDS OF THE NAVY.


Secretary Long submits : Statement to
Congress.
Washington, March 6.--Secretary
Long has made statement TO the house
naval committee on the general needs
OF the navy and the desirability of not
building new ships in government
yards. As TO the new ships. he held to
his recommendation at the time con-
gress met, namely, three armored cruis-
ers of about $1,000 tons each. with the
heaviest armor and most powerful ord
nance; IL gunboats of about 900 tons
each. three protected cruisers Of about
5000 tons each. As TO building war
ships in our navy yard, Mr.. Long said
they cost much more than those built
under contract, and took twice as long
TO build them.
Admiral Dewey suggested to the COM
mittee that it leave off the 12 gunboats
and give three new battIeships instead.
He said that the battleships would be
more serviceable, as General Otis had
Just purchased ii gunboats. and had
turned them over to the navy. They
were in fair condition, and the admiral
said that from his experience. he
thought they were just the vessels
needed for service in the Philippines.

MINES AND MINING.
Prospecting and Mining In Cape Nome
Country.

Prospecting and Mining In Cape Nome
Country.
Newspapers and private letters re-
ceived from Cape Nome via Dawson say
that considerable prospecting was car
ried on this winter. Many miners have
an idea that at and below low water
mark the richest sands will be found.
Therefore, as soon as the ice was solid
ly frozen TO the bottom OF the shore
they began prospecting to solve a
much-vexed question as to the origin OF
the gold in the beach sands. Prospect
ing In the tundra warrants the belief
that 1t Is impregnated with gold much
in the same manner as the beach.
Tundra prospecting, the advices say,
had not been carried ON extensively,
owing to the difficulty encountered in
sinking TO bedrock ON account of water.
The ground freezes to an unknown
depth, the same as In the Klondike,
and II 1t should prove rich an area OF
country will be developed that will be
greater than score of Klondikes rolled
into one. From what has already been
done. it was said to be reasonable to
predict that the tundra would prove
very rich. Big prospects had been
found in dozens of places, right from
the grass roots, but the weather has not
yet been sufficiently cold to enable bed
rock to be reached.
Anvil creek Is the Eldorado of West
ern Alaska. Claim No. / below has
thus far proved to be the banner claim,
and is owned by Japhet Linderberg.
The output has been enormous. when it
is considered that it was worked but
six weeks. From this claim Sly, 900
was cleaned up, while Discovery yield
cd $4,000 in three weeks; No. Q
above, $50, No. 4, 10000; No. 5,
SAC, No. 8 was worked, but the
pay streak was not located. No. z,
owned by DR.. Kittelsen, produced
about $50, 9,G00; No. s, belonging to
Price g. Lane, 1892, 900; No. 9, belong
ing to the Swedish Mission, sos. 900;
Nos. 10 and IL, owned by G. d. Lane,

were worked on lays. and the Lapland-
ers vino worked them got for their
share $50, 900 clear money.
Several quartz ledges have been
located along Anvil, one opposite No.
9, on the right limit, and another oppo-
site No. Z. and it is believed that a
little developments work will uncover
the mother ledge. and, If found. the
output is sure to be enormous.
Other claims on tributaries of Nome
and Snake rivers have been prospected
TO limited extent. Enough has been
done. however, to warrant the belief
that the work of next summer will re-
veal Eldorados and Bonanzas by the
score.

American Transportation & Trading
Company as Fort Yukon, January o.

NEvADA. THE DIVINE.
Greatest Living Cantatrice to Appear in
the New Opera House at Guthrie,
on May 3. 1900

The world-renowned cantatrice,
Nine. Emma Nevada, has been secur-
ed under heavy guarantee to appear
at the new opera house in Guthrie on
the night of May eth. The Nevada
has consented to fill but twenty three
engagements in concert, and the near
est points TO Guthrie where she will
appear are Joplin, Mo-, and Little
Fncls, Ark. The Santa Fe will likely
run az excursion to Guthrie on the
7th. This engagement is creating
much interest, and IL is believed no
trouble will be experienced in selling
every seat in the new opegs house at
SO. 90 aud So SO a seat. Nine. Nevada
is the greatest American singer living.
She was jeweled by Queen Victoria,
entertained by the Gear OF Russia, and
last January a dinner was given in her
honor by President and Mrs. McKin-
lev. Wher the Spanish American war
broke out Nine. Nevada was singing
in Madrid, Spain. AS the diva ap-
peared on the stage the Dons were
amazed at the audacity of an
American appearing before them at
such time. Shouts and Kisses
filled the air and a riot ensued. The
diva, although trembling with fear,
rushed of the stage, grabbed large
American flag and deaed the mad
dened crowd. Later she was spirited
out of Spain with Minister Bellamy
Story. Later she was entertained on
the battleship Olympia by Admiral
Dewey, and now owns the battlehag
carried by the Olympia during the
battle Of Manila bsy. This Hag, to-
gether with the coming tower tele-
scope of the Olympia, are placed on
the stages where che diva sings. The
Nevada was born in California and was
named by the people of California
after the state of Nevada When abe
appeared in Chicago in 1855 the people
went wild with enthusiasm, and after
her performance, ignoring Patti, un
hitched the horses from the Nevada's
carriage and hauled the vehicle to the
Grand Pacific hotel. Nevada receives
SO, 900 for singing three times in grand
opera each evening. Two weeks after
her Guthrie date she will be In Paris.
Marcus Daily, the copper king, has pre-
sented her a mansion in the French
capital. The Guthrie engagement OF
the Nevada will be the most notable
ever known in the southwest, and 1t is
predicted that the pew opera house
will be jammed TO the ceiling
