Old Mariner Talks,

A well-known business man of Ho-
nolulu. who has been connected with
marine affairs all his life. spoke as
follows Saturday evening regarding
the Rio and her commander:
All the stories that are being made
concerning Captain Ward are not
strictly accurate, From my own per
sonal knowledge of the man. having
been a shipmate of his at one time,
| desire 10 make the following state
ment. Captain Ward joined the ser
vice of the Pacific Mail in 1875. On
November of that year ne passed
through Honolulu for Sydney as a
cadet In 1876. he returned to San
Francisco. still cadet Late in that
year. he was made a quartermaster.
In 1877. he rose to the position of third
mate. Promotion this time on was
rapid. for he was not only born
sailor. but was good manager and
thoroughly responsible. he was Cap
tain OF the 'Pekin at one time. The
statement that Ward locked himself
in his caOin is false. He was not that
kind OF man. | know he stood at
his post OF duly and bravely met
death face TO face on the deck of the
vessel he had under his charge.
1T has been said that the Rio was
an old fashioned vessel. While she
was old in years. She had many mod
ern improvements She had five bulk.
heads. II is my opinion that she struck
somewhere in her foreholu and the
hole was so big il carried everything
away with il.
Her officers STOOD by her until the
last That can be told by the death
list. Below. only the chief engineer
escaped. OF the deck department. only
the second mate lives TO tell the ter
rible story of the awful tragedy that
occurred during the breaking hours OF
that awful day.
1t is said that IN evessel struck on
a reef outside Fort Point. Any one
familiar with the vicinity of Golden
Gate knows that were this so. the
passengers could have almost walked
ashore. They would have been per
feCtly safe. 70 say the least have a
letter which states positively that the
Rio de Janeiro struck on what is
known as Mile -.ock. In this vicinity
the water is from sixty to seventy IA
thoms deep TO anchor here is impos-
siule.
In my opinion. the disaster occur
red something as follows; The fog
raised. when both Captain and pilot
saw the lights on shore. They made
for the Golden Gate and then as every
sailor who has navigated about San
Francisco bay knows is often the case.
the mist came down again. Under
such conditions. but two things re-
main 60 be done. One is to go back.
the other is to go ahead. To stay in
one place is as impossible as 1t would
be dangerous The water is beyond
the depth of any anchor chain and
with passing vessels there is the great
est danger of being run down. To
turn around and go out again is also
hazardous. The safest thing is TO
go ahead That is what Captain Ward
and Piolt Jordan were doing. evident

THE AUDITOR HAS A GROUP
There Are Nineteen Gains in 1.-THE
Ore Carries Copper in Good
Quantities

State Auditor j. H. Calderhead and
Deputy Auditor Holmes have acquired
three-quarters interest in nineteen
copper claimes near Cadott pass, twelve
miles northwest of Wolf creek, Just this
side Of the summit of the range, says
the Helena Record. Development work
may ge pushed, as the indications are
good.
Ed Beadle, miner of considerable
expcrienle, located the claims and has
done some development. A deed
transferring three-fourths interest to
the two state officials was filed yester-
day with the county clerk and recorder.
No price is named in the deed.
THE property looks good at least"
said Holmes yesterday. 1.-The surface

able. The formation is very favorable

TO TAP THE SUNSET LEDGE
Senator w. A. Clark Will Drive a
Long Tunnel on the
Property.

A telegram from Wallace, Idaho. tn
the Spokesman-Review says that w. A.
Clark is preparing to run a long tunnel
from the Beaver side to tap the Sunset
ledge, surveyors being now up there to
beside upon the most advantageous point
to start it.
The Sunset and Goldbug were two of
the first claims located on Sunset Peak.
the Sunset having the greatest surface
showing of any claim in the Occur
Alenes, its ore body being visible for
: several miles as it runs down the steep
SIDE OF the mountain. while the Gold Bug
was located to cover the same ledge east
from the summit of the peak.
Shortly after their location they were
sold to Mr.. Clark for 100000, and after
doing sufficient work that he could get a
patent for the ground he allowed it to re-
main idle until two years ago last fall,
when he began work on a long tunnel
from the south, calculated to reach the
ledge about the end lines separating the
two claims at a depth of about TOO feet.
or nearly on level of the tunnel run
from the west side on the vein which
started at the foot of the steep tip Of the
peak in what is known as Sunset basin.
That tunnel was nearly half mile long
drift has followed the ore to the west
until 1t came out at the "basin.''
That had always been supposed to be
the western end Of the oreshoot which
ran eastward 1000 feet to the top Of the
peak, but after completing the drift a
series of shallow holes We're dug all the
way across the basin from the outlet of
the drift to the west end line of the Silver
Tip, great bodies of ore being fonnd in
each instance.
Not only had its existence been un-
known before, but the Portland Mining
company years ago ran tunnel in from
the north to the vein in the Silver Tip
and drlfted both ways on it, going east
nearly or quite to the line of the Sun
set without finding anything of value
There was more or less ore all the time
but the ground was badly broken ana the
ore carried so much zinc that further de-
velopment was abandoned.
The condition of the Sunset through the
basin was naturally supposed to be the
same, at least so far as the broken
ground is concerned, but parties from
there say that shaft is now being sunk
through ledge which appears to have
never been disturbed, and that nearly
everything that comes out is shipping
ore.
Just where the tunnel from the north
will be run is not yet known, but it will
be a long one, as the mountain slopes
quite gradually on that side, and the dip
of the vein will be considerably against
them. 1t is not likely that it will be less
than mile in length, and may be con-
sderabliy more.

THE GREENH0RN DISTRICT
T. G. cyl Of Helena Says the Red Bird
Property Is Great.


ITO my mind the mines in the vicinity
of Butler embraced in the Green Horn
mining district will prove among the
richest in the state, declared T. c. cyl
today, speaking of the recent prospects
located by number of Helent men near
Butler. says the Helena Herald.
IF the Punches property, known as
the Red Bird mine. was in Butte it
would be worth a cold $1,000 900 today
and be one of the most promising mines
iE the district. The workings in the
Red Bird have taken an incline tunnel
to a depth Of 175 feet into one of the
best copper veins in Montana.
The mine was first worked in the
early SOS by Judge A. c. Votow, and
at different times, but became discour-
aged. Mr.. Punches made a relocation
in February. At the time he commenced
work the tunnel was in about 40 feet.
and at 20 feet he struck large body of
copper that had very high value Some
of 1t made him return of 5000 per car.
Nearly all the prospects in the Green
Horn district have an iron that de-
velops into copper as depth is attained.
Most OF the mines are scarcely more
than dozen miles from Helena re-
gard the district as one of the most
promising in the state.'

ing promising claims in the district are

MINES AND MINING .s=:==- IN THE NORTHWEST

Helena, it had become the practice OF
men employed at Senator Clark's mines
IN that city to go to this hoist and help
themselves whenever they needed any
small fittings. Thus when Superinteua

machine at kenwood he continually
found something missing and had to
send to store or foundry to have the
deficiency made up. Hence the delay in
starting work, which would not have &C.

The hoist was found to work smoothly
