DIsPArcBEs IN CIPHER.
low Army Messages Are sent from
One Corps 10 Another and TO
TIE War Omce

When sending messages in the
army it is necessary to use a cipher,
so that unauthorized persons cannot
read them. A keyword and letter is
agreed upon by the several generals
and anyone ignoraEt of these two
things is unable to read the message.
The instrument used, which we Illus
trate, is called the cipher wheel
1t consists of au outer circle, round
which tho usual letters of the alpha
bet are placed in the usual order, and
an inner circle, having the letters in
the reversed order.
The disc upon which the latter are
inscribed is pivoted at its center; the

Is Obtained)
arm A is fixed to this disc at any
letter chosen by the generals arbi-
trarily, say A. This disc is turned
round by working the millhead b.
In the cipher wheel the letters OF
the keyword and those of the true
message are taken from the outer
ring the letters of the cipher mes
sage being read in the inner ring.
Take the famous message sent by
Sir Redvers Butler to Sir George
White al Ladysmith. Suppose that
the keyword is March" and that
Sir Redvers said: 81 have been re-
pulsed" which it now appears were
not his words First write the words
of the true message next the key
word, repeated as often as required,
as below:
IHANEBEENREPULSED.-TeXt.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. Key
word
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. - Cipher.
The cryptogram is obtained in this
way: Set the arm of the cipher wheel
at in the inner wheel and at the first
letter of the keyword in the outer
wheel. Take out at once for the whole
message the cipher letter of the inner
whe ell CORE spending 10 the true letters
on the outer wheel which appear above
the first letter of the keyword when
ever it occurs.
For instance, the first letter of the
keyword is NJ Above all the Ms viii
be the letters b Few L U NJ. and it
viii be found that by setting the arm
at A in the inner wheel the correspond
ing letters on the outer wheel will be
e Ii 10 SSF. Then, by turning the
outer ring to A (the second letter Of
the keyword), another set of cipher
letters are obtained.
Continue the same with all the letters
of the keyword, and the cipher a s in
the third line viii be obtained. Thus
no person could decipher any message
unless in possession Of the keyword

 Ounces of UOiG.

The office of the Hot Air Mining Co on the famous Hot Air bench. las on Glacier creek was entered about q o'clock Thursday night. the safe opened and l20 ounces of gold dust carried away by two robbers who made good their escape.
 At the time of the robbery Till Price was asleep on the first floor of the office while the day foreman Geo. MacadanIs was asleep up stairs. John Erickson, one of the owners of the claim, and Gid Harrow, the night watchman, were about POO feet from the hou,e. W hiie Frank Price, another of the Hot Air owners, and the night foreman Mont Blair, and a number Of miners were in a new cut which ha, just been opened d few hundred feet from the hol,c.
 The night Was intensely dark and the bold robbers moved swiftly and quietly Entering the office which is d frame building d story and d half high, in the rear of which and upstairs are ,lccpins rooms for the Hot Air proprictors. thc robbers awakened Till Price who was stopping there, and who had gone to bed, by poking him in the ribs with d gun.

ed extending from the center of the creek into the tundra. Under the boulders in the crock fine nuggets were found, and the laymen on the upper end of the claim, have drifsd into the bench and found. the same kind of gold and nuggets running from S3 to SlO each. Three men are working and are taking out about l6 ounces daily. On the claims below No. all are doing nicely.
 On Nos. , and above on Willow Dr. Whitehead has a number of men at work, while number of other parties are at work on Cripple creek, q tribu- .tary of Willow.
 "There is u large amount of good ground between Shovel creek on Solo mon river and Willow creek" said Mr. Delkin, "and yet there is scarcely any work being done. Occasionally you will find man here and there doing Il little prospecting, but that is all. All that is needed to develop rich mineral country is systematic work"
 Work is also under way on Boulder, and Ruby creek is producing Il good deal of gold. Barbee X Streeton re- gently sold bench claim on this creek.

Will Take an Appeal.

The decision of Judge Moore not to reopen the casr of the United States against U. ;. Marshal Richards has de- tcrnned Marshal Richards to take an appeal to the United States court of appeals for the ninth circuit.
 Marshal Richards feels keenly the cloud cast upon his good name by the action of Judge Wickersham in the late contempt proceedings, and he vii leave nothing undone in legitimate way to secure the reversal of a judg mcnt which be feels to be a gross act of injustice.
 The law provides that an appeal may be taken at any time within q year from the date of the judgment, but it will be perfected at once. It is stated that well known and able attorney now on the outside will make the argu- ment before the- ircuit court.

A Submarine Dredger.

Scheid X Co. have just finished put ting together dredging machine for Judge Allan, of Portland, Or. The dredger is intended to be operated in Boring sea, and the first test will be made west of town, near the cemetery. Judge Allan has great faith in his dredger, which will plough up the sea, the sands passing through what may be termed half-pound pipe, in which rifles are placed, as a stationary engine drags the machine back and forth to the beach. Two pipes will form vacuum, thus enabling the water to rush through the tube at sufficient speed to separate the gold from the sand.
