with the 5000 yard dredge now under
construction with that kind of gravel.
The plant is being constructed on
plans that cali for a daily capacity Of
$500 yards. but in making his estimate
Mr.. Kinney throws off the 500 and fig
ures the actual saving at ) cents per
cubic yard. At that rate the gross
amount of gold collected daily viii be
S156. Counting twenty-six working days
10 the month, it viii save $1,000. The
total cost of operating the dredge is
set forth in detail al $1.95S per month,
or SO a day. With a gross saving of
$4,000 and total expense OF sl,95S. the
monthly earning capacity of the plant
is seen to be 1892. or 42O for the
ten months of the year which the plant
can be operated.
Discussing the = eme yesterday,
Judge Kinney sai- thought he
would not be accused placing the
average saving too high, and he was
sure he had made ample allowance for
everything in his estimate of the ex-
pense, so he felt very confident that he
and his friends who had gone into the
enterprise would come out big winners.
For the purpose of better handling
their interests the gentlemen have in
2orpOrated and made the property the
basis Of the HOff Dredging & EXplOra-
ton company

Poniatowski, and a man who has done
much for the Russian people and Tor

The count criticised the attempts OF
the present government of Russia to
enlist the friendship of the United
States.
THE Russians themselves feel friend
" toward the United States, he said,
but the motives of the present gov
eminent are not sincere. 1t is an un-
natural alliance-One between a des-
potism and a republic. When Russia.
has limited monarchy or a repub-
hcan form of government, then the
two nations should join hands and be
the greatest powers in the world But
Americans, who love freedom and hate
oppression, should not help TO strength

last evening he would pay all of Mr.
Burton'S expenses for the sake of get

a. month. The offer was necessarily
declined, however.

GOLD CAMP OF ToNAHPAH.
Hugh H. Tarbet Gives Comprehen-
sive Description of 1t.

slve Description of 1t.
An interesting and detailed 6escrip-
ton of TOnahpah, the fourishing new
mining camp near Sodavine. New. is
furnished by Hugh II. Tarbet. who is
now visiting his family il this city
aIter spending several weeks in the
embryonic GOlcOnda.
The camp is called Tonahpah in honor
of the TOnahpah Mining company the
owner of five claims from which S12. 900
in gold and silver ore was produced in
March. The formation. Mr. Tarbet
says, bears strong resemblance TO the
porphyry of the Cripple Creek (Colo1
district The veins, bearing free gold
in greater and silver in lesser
Quantities, are vertical and have thus
Tar been we'll defined. The FIVE claims
OF the TOnahpah company are operated
by twenty seven sets OF lesSees and
every shaft. the deepest of which is
only thirty-fiVe feet, is in pay ore. The
average value of the shipping mineral
is $500 per ton. ore worth less than
500 is thrown over the dump. as it
does not pay TO haul it forty-five miles
20 Sodaviiie and snip thence 10 san
Francisco for treatment.
The difficulty of conducting these op-
eratiOns may be inferred from Mr. Tar
bets statement that the nearest water
90 Tonahpan is three and a half miles
and the nearest wood fifteen miles.

llI past " eek refused a very liberal
offer for its holdings. The prospective

SMALLPOX AT CANNON FARM
Mrs. Nelson, a Domestic, Sent to
Hospital.

a case of smallpox developed yester-
day at one of the homes of the late
President George @. Cannon, in the
suburbs southwest of the city. The vic
TINS are Mrs. Carl Nielsen and her Il
mOnths'-Old baby. The case was exam
ined yesterday morning by County Ply
stefan Mayo, and after some negotia-
tiOns, it was arranged so that the
mother and her child were taken To the
citys isolation hospital.
Mrs. Nielsen's husband is filing
mission TO Scandinavia, and for several
weeks. past she has been serving as
domestic at what is commonly known
as the odd house." Since the recent
marriage of a daughter of President
Cannon, she has been taking care of
the house, which has been unOccupied
by any one except the domestic. 1t is
believed that she contracted the disease
from relatives who visited her.
By reason of the fact that none of
the members of the Cannon family have
been exposed to the Contagion. and that
all of them have been successfully vac
ciEated since "A year ago. it is not be-
lteved that the disease will find a foot
hold at CannonVille. The house where
the woman was stricken was thor
oughly disinfected yesterday. and the
health officials are of the opinion that
it viii not be necessary to quarantine
any of the members of the family
which would prevent them attending
tie funeral of President Cannon on
Wednesday.
4 report was sent to the health de-
paTtment yesterday by the family ply
stefan of II. j Walk, one of the leaders
in the characterization movement. that
smallpox had broken out in his home.
Mr. Walk lives across Jordan river, and
the report will be officially investigated
TO-DAY.
With reference to the published state
ment of w c. l. Trap, the anti-vacci-
natiOnist. that. Alice Crane of 92S East

that Miss CfaHe was ''vaccinated" in
his office by sDr. Colborn with stale
virus, as he subsequently demonstrated,
and for. this reason the young patient

clared that when Miss Crane was vac
