DEWEY LEARNS TO FISH,
Thoroughly Enjoys q Days Sport
with Rod and Reel.

A dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from
Palm Beach, Fla. says: admiral Dewey
handled rod and reel Saturday. and some
said 1t was the first time In his life that he
had enjoyed that pleasure.
He pronounced the day one Of me most
enjoyable he had ever spent. Several OF
the veteran disciples of Izaak Walton here
were determined that the admiral should
know something of the fascination they
found in fishing. and he was fairly carried
off in the launch of Mr.. Joseph Jefferson
for the trip to the inlet where Lake Worth
meets the sea, eight miles to the north
The wind was bit puffy, and after the
party started out they had misgivings about
getting a good catch, but after reaching
the anchorage there was little time lost
in speculation. All hands were kept busy
and by actual count they had fifty Sleeps
head and one snapper. The admiral became
very enthusiastic after pulling in his first
fish, and although this was his first ex-
perience of the kind, said Captain Glow,
'he did remarkably we'll and caught his
share
Mr.. Jefferson provided luncheon aboard
for his guests, who found Admiral Dewey
a most delightful companion and considered
the day one long to be remembered.

Mill for TonOpah.

A twenty-stamp modern quartz mill
is soon to be erected in Tonopah, to mill
the 100000 worth of ore now on the
dumps, says the Grass Valley Union.
Some well-known Nevada City miners
are to figure in this new enterprise Az.
surance was given by the company there
that no competition would arise by any
other mill starting up. Calculations
have been made thit the mill will
be kept busy night and day for two years.
As it costs so much to ship the ore. a
large profit will result from this milling
scheme.
OF the five persons who have obtained
this franchise from the company are
Frank Golden, William Waters, William
Tamblyn and Owen Daugherty. This
will add materially TO the profits these
gentlemen have already made from their
leases over there. The first meeting to
arrange details will be held in about a
week at Tonopah.
