Deweys famous flagship Olympia VIII
display an elaborate tigurehead when
she goes into commission at the Boston
navy yard on the 10th proXimo. This
figurehead is a heroic figure of Victory
holding over her head the figure of a
large-sized American eagle. This Is
one of the largest and handsomest
figureheads ever placed on an Ameri-
can warship and is equaled only by
the ornate figurehead at the prov of
the cruiser Cincinnati, the government
built ship now fitting out at the New
York navy yard for practice cruise
in the West Indies. Up to this time
these are the only two vessels in the
navy with these ancient head orna-
ments, but It Is expected that as other
warships enter navy yards for general
repairs they will also be similarly dec
Grated. 1t is believed that such action
will be taken next in the case OF the
cruiser Raleigh, undergoing and over
hauling at the Portsmouth On, H.
navy yard.

for complaint are Of apparently trinug
nature.

take the record Of the testimony but

putty high sheriff took tho testimony

Of experience in this work. He wrote

witnesses, giving the principal facts
to which they related.
a copy of the testimony was given 10
an officer today 90 take to the witnesses
for their signature. Duke McNiChOl re-
fused to sign his part Of the testimony,
claiming that the testimony quoted him
. as saying that Lubbock had been wanted
on Brewers wharf when he said the
lrmgard wharf Harry Klemme rcfus-
ed TO sign MOssman's report on the
grounds that il quoted him as saying
that he did not think that Lubbock had
had any drinks i'm his saloon before Fri
day night H. Becker also demurred,
claiming that the testimony offered him
to sign was wrong when II quoted him

AT THE ORPHEUM.

The new bill proved a good attrac-
ton at the Orpheum last night where
well pleased audience literally APP
plauded what was really meritorious
performance The first part was about
the best Hogan has yet given and while
all the specialties were not great stun
on the whole the show as given was a
success.
Hogan was at his best and the others
did their work with vim and enthusi-
asm The songs were up to date and
well rendered while the bill was full
of good comedy.
The principal fault to be found Is
that the performance is too long and
some of the acts could be improved by
cutting them down. The company
should draw good houses from now on

NEW LUMBER FIRM PROJECT.
Sons of w. c. Wilder to Go Into Lum-
Der and Mill Business

1t is understood in building and con-
struction circles that a new lumber
firm, having in connection a planning
mill, is shortly to be established in HO-
nolulu.
The members of the new firm are. it
is said, G. T. Wilder and Gardner X
Wilder sons of the late w. G. Wilder
c. r. Wilder. who was at one time
Hawaiian Consul General at San Fran
cisco, did not come to town this morn
ing and was unable to be Ieached for
corrOboration of the story. Gardner K.
Wilder is still on the coast where, ac-
cording to the Portland Oregonian"
he has made a considerable purchase
of lumber in Portland besides spending
several days in the State of Oregon
! looking over the timber interests.
! He is further quoted as having said
that the Hawaiian Islands would buy
"a great deal of their lumber from Ore
gon If there was a line of ships plying
directly between Portland and Homo
, lulu.
This interview would give color to
the rumor of the new firm. An employe
in Gardner Wilder's office this morning
stated that, while he knew something
of the matter. he could say nothing
about it without instructions.

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The latest development of the refin-
cry question is that a syndicate of cap

in Montreal, now have an expert min

to reporting on the prospects for the
successful operation of a refinery.
The Cooper Wonder group of mining
claims situated on Sophie mountain,
about 10 miles from Rossland, has been
bonded to ]. NJ. Palmer, a mining man
of Spokane, who is now negotiating
with eastern parties for the purchase

is 100000 and calls for continuous
work for the six months which the bond
runs. The group consists of seven
claims and fraction and is situated
near the famous Violet mines owned by
the British Columbia company.
A. B. w. Hodges, superintendent of
the CRANKY smelter at Grand Forks, ar
rived at Rossland recently on his re-
turn from a visit of inspection to the
various copper smelling plants in the
western states and a trip to New York
and Chicago. He announced that the
contract for the supply of the two addi-
tional furnaces with a joint minimum
capacity of 500 tons per day and the
two converters, capable of treating loo
tons of matte daily, had been awarded
to the Gates Iron Works of Chicago
the same firm that furnished the origi
nal plant. This will give the CRANKY
smelter a total capacity of 1900 tons
per day. The contract calls for the de
livery of the plant within 90 days and
it will be in operation by September 1.
That part of East Kootenay lying

ment is behindhand and valuable

to add the islands of Cagayan, Sulu and
Slbitu to the possessions of the United

The ceremony attending the exchange
OF notifications and the payment of the
100000 warrant was an interesting one.
The duke of ARGOS arrived at the state de-

the treaty, handsomely engrossed and

The Republic mill is slowly securing
contracts for treating Republic ore.
The Quilp has shipped to the CRANKY
smelter to date 1943 tons of ore, having
gross value of approximately $6254.
George L. Hedges has just arrived
from Wauconda and states that the
small test mill plant sent out by the
Rossman company was tried with most
fiattering results.
Some fine specimens of ore from the
Princess Maud mine have been taken
from the face of the north drift. and it
is now coming in across the ledge like
the ribs of mans body.
In the Quilp mine the station on the
No. level is all cut out and has only
one set more of timbers to be put in
to finish it. The diamond drill is bor-
ing away toward the vein.
The California is still looking we'll.
All the ore that is being taken out is
from above the 100 foot level. The
ledge has been drifted upon at that lev
ell for 20 feet in one direction and 100
in another.
At the Butte & Boston the head of
the upraise is lao feet from the surface
and there are two streaks of ore in
sight-one of them eight and the other
twelve inches wide, averaging $35 in
gold and two ounces silver per ton.
Peter Mccormick has had some big
returns from samples from the Phil
Sheridan, in Sheridan camp. Four
samples were assayed with the follow
ing results: $134.6O. $2S7.56. $455.34
and $157.44. Samples from the footwall
gave $3.50.
The talk abolt railroad communica-
tion between the Boundary district and
Republic, and the assured completion
of such a line within the year, has ere
ated more than ordinary interest in
mines in the region lying on both sides
of Curlew lake.
The Butte & Boston oreshoot that was
found in the old shaft has been found in
the raise that was being made to con-
meet the lower workings of the mine with
it. The ore body is about three feet wide
A grab sample from several buckets was
taken and the assayer's certificate showed
that it carried SO ounces of silver and
nine and half ounces in gold, having a
total value of S2l79S. 1t will take some
time to determine the length of the ore
shoot, but there is no doubt about tho
value of the ore. The reason that 1t was
not encountered in the drift on the 26(
foot level was because it dips to the south
When the drift has been extended a short
distance farther it will undoubtedly en-
counter the shoot
