4 MINING exchange says that in stamp
milling common mistake is to figure
that when the mill is doubled in size
that the output Of gold will bc doubled
in value. In every case that has come
to our attention, when the amount Of
ore put through the mill is doubled, the
output of gold will not increase more
than from one and one-half to one and
thrcc-p carriers. The reason is that
when the mill increases its demand ON
the mine many blocks Of ground that
would have been left standing when the
mill was small, are broken down and
sent TO the mill. The value Of the ore
IL thus reduced. II Is u safe rule to
figure, that II the ore sent toa twenty
stamp mill runs $40 per ton, when the
mill il increased To forty stamps the ore
will run about q per ton. Of course
there Is nothing invariable about this.

The coming first trial OF the big bat
tleship is called a preliminary, or
builders test, but it is much more
interesting, and far more important
than the final acceptance trial of
twelve hours, for it really shows the
qualities of the ship for the first time,
and in addition, every gun will be
tested, feature totally eliminated
from United States warship trials.
Their guns keep silence until long
after the vessel is in commission, then
the firing trial is ordered
Has a Terrific Battery.
The Retvizan carries terrific bat
terry a,nt: the big guns are novel to
American oyos, for the Russians manu-
facture all their own heavy ordnance
at the Obrukoff works. They are
really a modification OF ihe famous
French Canet type and have practically
the s-me style of breech block and
like all such weapons, are fired by
electricity and loaded by machinery
except for the pushing of the shell into
the yawning breech.
There are four twelve-inch, twelve
six-inch and twenty three-inch guns
in the main battery, while the second
airy group is made up of twenty forty
-millimeter Hotchkiss rapid-fire
cannon. Every one of these has to
be tested, not because the Russians
fear the efficiency of the guns them
selves, but to enable them to learn just
how the carriages and the fittings
stand the strain and also what sort of
a gun platform the vessel is.
Therefore the Cramps will man the
shin with crew from their wards all
of them skilled engineers and fremen,
and Capt Stechensnovitch, the future
commander, will take aboard gun
crews made up from the 100 or more
men who are here as a part of the
crew that will take the ship home.
Once compasses are adjusted the
nose of the Retvizan will be pointed
out of the Delaware capes to the open

When the Russian unfurls the blue

a preliminary trial, which promises to
be of worldwide interest.
This ship, more than any other that
is even approaching completion, en-
bodies every development of the mon
ster man-of-war which had for its
first model Ericssons tiny monitor;
and the cars officers, who have
watched her grow from the simple
center keel plate smile now and are
impatient to exhibit their prize to
naval Europe.
A battleship of nearly $4,000 tons,
that can run as swiftly as an ordi-

HAUNT OF WILD BIRDS.

One of the greatest haunts of wild
birds in the world is Hjelmso- Stauren,
a mighty cliff of granite rising from
the ocean near the North Cape, Hol-

aid. The sea birds of the Arctic have
found it of great convenience and
make it their headquarters. The wall
is protected from the wind by it's pc
culiar position, and the instinct of
the feathered population of this region
has taught them that it is the safest
place they can find. Hence every lit
tie niche contains a nest Nobody
knows how many there are, but dur
ing the season when little birds are
mating and nesting and until the lit
tie ones are old enough to take care of
themselves the cliff is covered with
them.
The captain of the approaching
steamer gives to his passengers notice
of his nearness to the place, creeps up
to the side of the cliff as quietly as a
steamer can go, and when in the prop
er position blows whistle, fires can

makes as big a noise as possible, which
frightens the birds, and everything
with wings starts shrieking into the

a cloud of smoke, covering the vessel
for a few moments until they scatter
in the distance, and after a while re-
cover their courage and come back
gradually and congratulate themselves
upon their escape from. death and dis

kind of an idea of the scene. The birds
are so small and the rock is so large

difficulty of having deep-sea room
enough to run vessel twelve hours
on stretch and all the time at eight
cen knots an hour must be evident
Builders Test Is Interesting.
But there is way to overcome this
difficulty The modern battleship is
nothing if not a piece of machinery,
and machinery well geared, like figures
correctly totaled, never lie. So they
will run the Retvizan over the meas
ured course, and knowing the exact
distance from mark to mark, will keep
a record of the revolutions of the big
twin screws until the time comes when
a carefully measured space is covered
exactly at the required speed.
Then the time will be ripe for the
main test, and for twelve hours the
ship will be forced onward over a
course laid anywhere in the sea that
gives the required area of deep water.

propellers must average at least up to
the turns that were found necessary

tory a northwest course will carry the
vessel far away from the track of any
regular liners or coasters and the
swarthy Russian sailors will be given
their chance to participate in the af-
fair.
This they will do by firing each gun
at nothing but the water, first with
half service charge of powder and
then with the regular war charge and
projectiIe. The effects of each shot
on every plate, beam and stanchion
will be noted, for the great guns use
21O pounds of the highest power
smokeless powder to hurl their $50
the crush and shock of such a dis
charge is little less than a small
earthquake.
There is one thing sure in connection
with the Retvizan. She will never
catch fire. The lessons of the Yalu
river, Manila bay and Santiago are
now too deeply rooted in the minds of
the Russians to permit them to use
wood in any form in the construction
of their ships. So she has asbestos
bulkheads in all the living spaces and
the entire interior is sheathed with
the same fire-proof material. Even
her boats will be of metal, step
which has not been taken by the
United States yet, though the newer
ships have precious little wood about
them.
1t will be only few days before
the world will know whether this
So, 100000 combination of steel is a

will, then the world must bow, for

Charles R. Cramp figured out the pos
sibilities, first of the Variag, now the
crack protected cruiser of the Russian
navy, and second OF the Retvizan-
a Hard Problem.
It was the latter which needed the
most figuring. To build a ship of the
speed required, displacing approx
mately $4,000 tons-12,775 to be exact
and float it in less than twenty-s1X
feet of water, was the proposition, and
its answer is the huge craft now about
to seek the sea to try herself. The
hull. which carries the typical sweep
ing American lines that mean grace
and speed. is 1884 feet long between
perpendiculars, and seventy-two feet
two and one-half inches wide, and as
she lies now there are nine inches of
Krupped armor spread over the mas
sive sides for two-thirds the entire
length. Above this belt there is six
inches to the deck line; the gun posi-
lions, in easements above, have five
inches of plating. Back of the armor
is the curved protective deck, which
covers the vitals of the ship. To keep
out any stray raking shot that might
go through and disable a gun or two.
heavy armored bulkheads are worked
in at the ends of the main and case
mate belts.
This is the first battleship built in
this country with complete installa-
ton of water-tube boilers. This was
one of the novel features involved in
the Cramp plan and all the machin-
cry is particularly adapted to this
type of boiler. They will make the
steam that will give the two ponder

$4,000 pound propellers will be called
upon to push the ship ahead at the
rate of eighteen knots an hour,
though it would be hard to find a man
at Cramps who does not believe that
the indicated horse power developed
will be much in excess OF the require
ments and that the speed will be
nearer nineteen than eighteen knots.

TO STAMP OUT SMALLPOX.
Kentucky Board of Health to En-
force Rigid Quarantine Against
rsarh

Louisville, April 4.-The Courier-Jour-
nal says: Kentucky is TO quarantine
against the state of Tennessee for small
pox. This was decided yesterday after
noon in DR.. j. M. Mathews office, when
the Executive Committee of the state
board of health, after mature elaboration
decided to take the step. DIR. j. NJ. Nc
Cormick secretary of the board, left i'm
mediately after the meeting to investigate
a fresh outbreak of smallpox in Trimble
county, and OF his return at the end of
two or three days the decree of quaran-
tine will be issued.
This quarantine will be absolute, in that
no person will be allowed to cross the
Kentucky state line coming from Tennes-
see, who cannot show certificate of re-
cent vaccination Persons buying a rail-
road ticket in Tennessee will be compelled
to show a vaccination certificate before
being allowed to board the train.
If necessary, the Kentucky Board of
Health has determined 40 place armed
guards along the state line to prevent
people without vaccination certificates
from slipping over.
The Board of Health is determined to
stamp out the smallpox now raging in
Kentuckys southern border counties. In
Vestigation has convinced the state Off
cals that the disease was brought over
by negroes from Tennessee.
Guthrie partly in Tennessee and partly
in Kentucky is the chief point of en-
trance.
