DEVELOP PROSPECTS.
J.P. Wallace Organizes a Com.
pany for This Purpose.

J. P. Wallace returned Friday from an
extended trip east and south. He put In
most Of his time In Illinois, Indiana, Colo.
RADIO and New Mexico. The object Of
this trip was business In connection with
the Monmuoth Developmentco company, or.
ganized to buy, develop and sell prospects,
principally, and to handle all kinds Of
mining properties. Mr.. Wallace reports a
successful trip. He Is we'll qualified to
manage such business, having a techni.
cal education supplemented with twenty.
five years experience In practical mining.
In speaking Of the plans Of his company,
he said:
"This company bonds, develops aud
sells prospects and negotiates the sale Of
producing mines. Owners Of prospects
who may desire to part with their holdings
may arrange with this company for a
careful examination Of their claims, and
for determinations by assays and chemi.
cal tests Of the character and value Of the
ores, without cost to them.
"One Of the greatest drawbacks to the
sale Of mining properties Is the almost
total lack Of full and reliable information
in presentable form. But few prospectors
are prepared to meet the requirements OF
investors In this particular. Many claims
are being held and worked from year to
year without any definite knowledge on
the mart of THAR oMn arc nc to the claim, ,c
merit or demerit. And again, some prop.
erty holders who have good reasons to
believe In a bright future for their prop.
erty may not be able to influence capital
for development purposes. 1t will be the
aim Of this company to supply such wants
and to this end It has recently completed
arrangements with eastern capital for the
securing In their behalf Of large producing
gold and copper mines, and promising
prospects. Properties In any portion Of
the Rocky mountain states will be con.
siiered. It Is not question Of capital In
this case, but one involving the proper.
ty's merit and a reasonable proposition.
"The mineral showing In the Blue
mountains Is all that Is required to entice
capital, but the impression Is prevalent
throughout the communities have lately
visited, that the past price placed upon
mines In this section have been beyond
the ideas Of investors, and have In some
instances prevented their return to this
country. Oregon mines are more widely
known In mining circles east than Is gen.
orally supposed. A close watch Is kept
by proposed investors Of all mining dis.
tricts Of promise throughout the west.
Capital Is willing to 60 where their wants
can best be supplied. It matters not so
much where the properties may be II they
have real merit and are not overloaded In
price and unreasonable terms"

Sandy Stewart has delivered 10 sacks
Of wool, the clip from 500 sheep, at the
Dickinson wool warehouse. Mr.. Stewart
bought the sheep last year Of c. F. Trask
and agreed with him to turn over this sea-
sons wool at s1.oo per fleece, which he
has done. Mr.. Trask, according to pres
ent indications, appears to have a little
the best of the deal, as the sheep aver
aged about 81 pounds of wool per head.
But a bargain is a bargain, and Mr..
Stewart is not %grumbling. If the winter
had been ~unfavorable the feeces would
have been considerably lighter, and if we
had the Cleveland free tra'e times of
four years ago, wool prices would not be
higher than 10 cents per pound, whereas
the present indications are for 20 cents
and upwards.

PRAISE FOR TILLEY.
English Missionary's Estimate of the
Governor of Tutuila.

The Secretary of the Navy has received
a long letter from the Rev. Ebenezer V.
Cooper, resident missionary OF the London
Missionary Society for Tutuila and the
Manua group in the Samoan Islands, in
which he expresses qualification and graft
tude with the fact and the manner in
which these islands have been taken under
the United States Government. The ma
tives, he says. are more than satisfied,
and adds:
1T must be very gratifying If not fiat
tering to know that the natives have re-
ceived your flag so heartily and are show
ing themselves content to be led and in
structed in matters of international rule
and order by those who from time to time
may be appointed to act as governors
over those islands, of which your new
naval station is the centre"
Mr.. Cooper pays a high tribute to Com
mandeT Tilley, the principal representa-
tive of the United States in the Islands
whose kindly nature and tactfulness. his
approachableness and admirable patience
and his desire to be alike just and firm,
have had not little to do in easing the
difficult task of superseding the old order
of things amongst proud and conserva-
tive people, and successfully setting up
newly organized body Of officials who VIII

BETTER GUNS DEMANDED.
War Department Disagreement
About New Field Pieces.

The Ordnance Bureau and the Board Of
Ordnance and Fortifications of the War
Department are at present engaged in
wrangle over the proposed new field gun,
bids for the manufacture of which were
opened yesterday. The trouble has re-
suited over the claim of General Miles
that only fixed ammunition should be used,
while General Burlington holds that loose
ammunition is the proper article.
The entire question has been urged re-
peatedly upon the attention of Secretary
Root, but the Board of Ordnance and Forti
fications failed to reach any conclusion as
to a field gun, and the Bureau Of Ord
nance under General Burlington, went
ahead and planned new model of the 81
inch gun now in the service. The breech
mechanism for the new gun was designed
by a craftsman in the Ordnance Bureau.
The gun is not fully planned. as the Ord
nance experts are stili working On new
powder chamber.
General Burlington determined to have
1000 guns of the new type manufactured
and proposals from different ordnance firms
were called for. On Wednesday there was q
meeting of the Board of Ordnance and For
tifications, and its attention was called &c
the action taken by General Burlington II
deciding to have manufactured type Of
gun which had not met with the approval
of the Board of Ordnance and Fortifica-
tions. protest was made to the Sec
Rotary of War against the opening OF bios
for these guns on the ground that the
Board of Ordnance and Fortifications had
not yet adopted the design as a type. The
matter was called to Secretary Roots at
tention too late, however. to interfere with
the opening of the bids, but he promised to
, investigate the subject and examine the
designs of other field guns before any
, award is made.
General Miles contends that the proposed
new type of field gun is unsuited to the
service. He says it is far behind the
/ field guns OF the European powers. and as
it is proposed to usS ioose ammunition
with it, will be in no sense an improve
ment over the existing type. II IS pcob-
able that the Secretary of War will refer
the entire matter to the Board OF Ord
nance and Fortifcations for investigation
and report.
AS General Burlington is a member Of the
beard. a lively discussion on the merits
of different types of field artillery will
take place. The lids for the proposed
three-;nch guns were in two paris. One
set of bids was for forging, and one .ar the
guns complete. The bids for forging were
as follows:
Bethlehem Steel Company. % ceats per
pound; Midvaie Steel Company. 90 cents
per pound: Cruclbie Steel Company of
America, 10 cents per pound.
Guns complete-BethIehen Steel Com
