A MINING CAMP STRIKE.
Riches Develop in a GuIch Thought
TO Re Barren

(Frcm the Modern Mercury
Ore assaying 81 600 to the ton is said to
have been uncovered in a mine owned by
J. NJ. Day, which Is located in the heart OF
the little village of Grub Gulch. MADEIRA
county. The vein is from sixteen 20
eighteen inches in width. The shaft is
down in il nearly thirty feet and the gold
bearing ore taken out already is very rich.
Grub Gulch is located on the RAYMOND
Wawona Road TO the Yosemite Valley, al
most twelve miles from Raymond. II
stands on the flank Of a peculiar sugar
loaf hill which rises abruptly out of the
gorge Of the Fresno River. opposite the
mouth of French gulcb. This hill bears
the name of Indian peak being used in
early days as signal station by the abor-
igines, the embers of whose signal fires are
still to be seen on its summit The peak
is ribbed with gold-bearing veins running
in all directions. Most of them are how
ever. of a very low grade. Several mines
have been operated on these veins for
eight or ten years past One of them. the
Mammoth. contains an enormous ore body.
but il has not been proftably operated, al
though electric power generated at the
river was transmitted to the mill located
at the shaft mouth, and used for hosting
ore from the mine.
If anything substantial comes out of the
recent discovery made at Grub Gulcb, it
Will surely arouse interest among mining
men in the neighborhood, and may be pro-
ductive of many important developments.

Christian antiquities TO subscribe toward
the further exploration Of the Cstacombs
These monuments which are OF the great
est historic importance TO Christianity. and
so vast In extent that they form an under
ground city. were places OF pilgrimage for
Romans and strangers till the ninth cen
tury. But from the ninth century until the
nineteenth the catacombs were neglected
the entrances were blocked and in time

person OF BOsius. but ii was not until the
present century that a new world was laid

CoALING SHIPS AT SEA.
An Important Naval Question Await
ing Solution

From the Engineering News)
The Importance of the question OF coal
ing at sea increases directly as the increase
of sea-power, and with the probability of
fighting naval wars far from home shores
the ratio rises enormously. England 8
first line OF defence is said to be the enc
my's coast. She is well supplied with
coalng stations all around the word. But
were she blockading foreign ports, how
large a portion of the blockading feet
would be worse than ineffective. because
itself subject TO possible attack by supe-
rior force while steaming between block
ade and coaling stations.
The greater the distance TO coal the
greater the number of vessels continuously
off station, and, with Guantanamo only
forty-fve miles away, only threefourths
of the American ships could he kep, ac-
tually on blockade service. Germany fully
appreciates the necessity of an apparatus
for coaling at sea. as indicated bv the
statement OF Rear Admiral Pludieman,
who said recently: TT will be ab-outely
necessary TO take coal from & collier at

OAKLEY MINISTER WRITES
Rev. Mr.. James Sends a Letter From
SOUTHAMPTON to His Wife.

Kansas City, Kas., June 23.-S. E.
Belts, superintendent of Bethany hos
pital, has returned from Oakley, Kas.,
where he went TO confer with Mrs. T.
H. James, the wife of the missing Kan
sas minister who promised the hospital
100000 of a fortune which he was to
inherit in England.
Mrs. James received a letter from her
husband written aboard the steamer
upon which he took passage. but
mailed directly after the boats arrival
at Southampton. The letter stated that
the writer had formed the acquaintance
of very congenial clergyman on the
way over. and that they had become
fast friends and would be together much
in England.
Mrs. James has heard nothing from
her husband since this time, and she
fears that the strange minister was on
the boat for no good purpose, but that
he was a tool used to make way with
her husband who went to England to
claim fortune of millions that many
others lay claim to.

CROKER ARRIVES
Reaches New York on the Luca-
mia This Morning.

New York, June 23.-The steamship
Lucania with Richard Croker on board
arrived in New York harbor at an early
hour this morning Half a dozen of the
Democratic leaders of this city went
down the bay to meet him. After re-
naming in this city for a few days, it
is expected that Mr.. Croker will go west
for the purpose of attending the Kansas
City Democratic convention.
Mr. Croker says that he is ready to
take a very active part in the coming
national campaign. Mr.. Croker ac-
knowledged having owned American Ice
stock, but said 1t was bought before
the company became trust, and would
rot say if he was now a stOckholder.
AS to the request made to Governor
Roosevelt to remove Mayor Van Wyck
for his ownership of ice stock, Mr..
Croker said;
THE governor has the power to do so
if the mayor is guilty, but all men must
be considered innocent until they are
convicted of wrongdOing."
What would you consider as guilt?''
he was asked.
We'll. in case the mayor used his
Office to get possession OF the shares of
stock or to increase the price of ice;
that would be, if proven, cause for his
removal" was the reply
Upon matters pertaining to the ma
tional campaign, Mr.. Croker said thai
with Roosevelt as McKinley's running
mate we should have San Juan hill
all over again" He said that he was
going TO Kansas City. and that he had
TO thank the New York newspapers fol
making him a delegate. 1t looked, he
/ said as if Bryan would be the Demo
cratic nominee for the presidency.
| Mr.. Croker was asked whether he
/ though Comptroller Coler would make
| a good vice presidential candidate, ol
| a stronger candidate for governor bu
he said that he could not answer that.
Mr. Croker said that in their trus
plank the Republicans were simply
! straddling the matter.
They cannot take that plank awal
from the Democrats he said.
