WORK OF ORDNANCE BUREAU.
Memorandum of Experiments Prepar,
ed by Gen. Crozier.

General Crozier, chief of ordnance, has
prepared memorandum showing what has
been done in his bureau in the matter of
new work, including experiments, since the
period covered by his latest annual report.
Already work has begun upon the new g.
inch field guns Of nickel steel for the artil-
lery. These guns are to be mounted on
long recoil field carriages. trial has
been made OF the improved automatic pom
pom" gun at Sandy Hook, and the perform
ance OF the gun was generally good, but the
accuracy of the steel shell at 1900 and $500
yards was poor. With the automatic action
100 rounds were fired in IS seconds and 200
rounds In lat seconds. Is Before the 200
rounds were completed steam was vigor-
ously emitted from the water Jacket and
continued for a short time after the firing
ceased. General Crozier says that changes
are needed in the gun and mechanism. The
whole equipment of this gun as field
piece, he says, Is heavier than the weight
of the gun and ammunitiof appears to war
rant. Some batteries fi,these guns were
sent to the Philippine Islands, and there is
also one battery in reserve In this country.
There have been ordered thirty-four
mountain gun carriages. tn addition to the
seventy-three in process; of manufacture
1t has been decided to equip the wheels OF

Decline of British Shipbuilding.

In a report to the State Department Unit
ed States Consul Mahln at Nottingham
calls attention to the stagnant condition of
shipbuilding in Great Britain. He says
the tonnage of merchant ships in course
of construction within the kingdom is less
than at any time since 1897. Then, the
quantity of work on hand had for long
time been fuctuating between 600, 600 and
100000 tons. In the fall Of that year an
Improvement began, which led up to a
tonnage of 1.414.1 a year ago. There
has since been a steady decline, to 1000, ia
tons at present. The regularity of the de-
crease-about 10000 tons months strik-
ing. Several thousand employees have been
discharged from the shipyards during the
last two months.

forcibly and impressively of the influence
of the Pilgrims upon the religious liberty
now enjoyed in the United States The
next speaker was General Wood. He is
but recently home from Cuba and spoke in

| that the lessons taught by the Pilgrims
| would be the salvation Of Cuba. The Gu
| bans must look forward to prosperity and
| everlasting liberty through the channel of
| education. Education was one Of the first
| principles of the Pilgrims, and it should be
| SO with the Cubans. General Wood said
| there are now about 1900 schools in Cuba
as against 600 when the American occupa-
tion began. These schools must be looked
| to for the welfare of the island and as the
| hope of the new government. The general
declared the Cubans are keen1y alive to the
| necessity and desirability of education. If
| the schools are kept going for few years
a great development and advancement of
| the island may be looked for. Illiteracy is
| the cause Of revolution in the Latin coun-
| tries and with the education of the people
| these disturbances may be expected to dis

for the discovery of Lane and William

bearing gravel is spread over a large
area, while on the hill above has been
found one of the lodges from which

Jerez took out more than $4,000 in
gold before the Indians forced him
away and he became a demented vic
tim of a surplus of prosperity.
In 1884. Jerez, who was employed at
the Hardy mine, went prospecting. and
on his return reported finding a great
lot of placer gold. He brought a bot
tie of nuggets, but refused to disclose
the source of his wealth. A short time
after he stole a rocker gold washer and
was not seen for many months, when
he appeared in camp with his burro
laden with all the gold 1t could carry.
He told the story of his wonderful
find and then quietly left the country,
fearing the threats of the angry min
ers. who attempted to force him to dis
close his secret. At that time the Hual-
pal Indians were constantly on the
warpath and ~prospectors who ventur-
ed into the northern part of the Colora-

ELIZABETHTOWN MINE NOTES.

From the Miner.
The outlook for the camp grows
brighter.
Ora belong came in last week and
is again assisting with the repair work
on the dredge.
The ground is being broken at the
Denver for the construction of a new
office building and n new building
has already been constructed. The
ground for the new mill will be broken
this week. The boiler and machinery
at the new shaft house is being repair
ed and put in condition to begin active
operations. Work will be resumed in
the mine as soon as possible, from
which ore will be extracted to operate
the new mill.
In speaking of the Abraham Lincoln
property last week the Miner was in
error as to it's ownership. The proper
ty has passed into the hands of the
Smithield company, which company
will proceed to develop and make a
mine of it. A force of men are already
at work running a tunnel on the lead
on this property and has been run
some thirty feet into the mountain.
The tunnel is well timbered and the
vein is being followed. The property is
considered a valuable one, and under
the Smithfield company there is no
doubt that it will be heard from in a
pleasing way at an early day.
Frank Spur, manager of the Smith
field Gold Mining and Milling compa-
ny, was down from the Senate Bobtail
mine last Wednesday and is making
the necessary plans and arrangements
for the construction of the new mill on
that property. The Smithfield company
is anxious to put the mill in operation,
n Mr.. Spur informs us that the com
PAM wishes it completed by the first
of May. The mill will probably be of
Huntington type and will be erected as
soon as possible. The cyanide process
will be used for the tailings. The ore
body in the Bobtail is increasing in
size and value, and the outlook for the
property is indeed very hattering and
will no doubt become a producer of i'm,
portance this summer.
