DESCRIPTION OF DIES MolNEs,
Best Type OF a Sheathed and Coppered
Cruiser Vet Produced,

Special Correspondence:
Boston, Mass, Sept. 2o.-The do.
yelopment Of the new navy OF the
tected cruiser Des Moines which was
launched at the Fore river yard near Bos-
ton this afternoon. The Des Atoines
Is the best type OF a sheathed and
coppered cruiser that has hitherto been
produced. Capable of remaining In serp-
Ice for an unusually long period. without
ioss Oh speed, and Of making long voy-
ages without recoaling, she is to be strong
~ armed with modern rapid lire guns. us
ing smokeless powder, Will he equipped
with a system OF wireless telegraphy, and
Will be thoroughly up-to-date in every
respect. '
The Des Moines is one OF six cruisers
authorized by act OF congress on March
., 1883, designed chiefly for foreign serv-
Ice. la is intended as q commerce pro-
tector rather than for naval warfare and
Is, therefore, constructed to make long
cruises with economy and comfort and
something better than average speed. and
at the same time she will be prepared to
hold her own in q fight with anything OF
her own size. ' %%
The contract for the Des MoInes was
awarded to the Fore River company, De-
cemper IA, 1899, and the keel was laid
eight months later. The contract calls
for a speed of 16gs knots, which Is con-
siderably less than thatademanded in the
caseaof the Raleigh class, which Is COM
posed OF cruisers Of about the same dis
placement. But, although the Raleigh
made 10 knots on her. trial, she is unable
to average better thar Is knots on long
voyages and that with an ~extrayagnnt use
OF fuel, while the Des Moines can main
tain her full speed indefinitely without
stratning her engines or wasting fuel and
would, therefore, come. out aheadjn q ,nnp
race. To carry the comparison one step
further, the Raleigh's engines required
lo,WD indicated horse power, while the Des
Moines requires but 400, which means
that h will carry less than one-half the
weight Of propeiling machinery.
Dimensions Of the Cruiser.
The new cruiser is 31S feet over all. and
has a load waterline length OF 1852 feet,
an extreme breadth of A feet, and a mean
draught Of Is feet 0 inches. Her displace-
ment with two-thirds stores on her trial
trip Will be 500 tons and her full load
displacement will pc about 8. 500 tons. She
has twin screws, vertical triple expansion,
four cylinder engines and six water tube
boilers. Her normal coal supply is est.
mated at 46I and her bunker capacity 700
tons. or enough to carry her $500 miles at
full speed, or about 10000 at a stjog trot.,
of - knots aEta hour She will have 800

A aG M II M | N tions n Cochise
 and Through @ @ FIELD . eu'Ar'.on.

Out at Dutch Bakers headquarters there is an aggregation of old timers with new ideas. that would do you good to meet. This particular spot is covered by a combination establish ment. including lodging house, a stag restaurant and a blacksmith shop.
 The register. when the Review cor respondent appeal ed on the scene men, tioned R. J. Hutchison, manager, with divers and sundry other stags as pat rons. These gentlemen, including the aforesaid manager, along with Jake Pirrong William and John Award, own a solid square of 10 claims, em- bracing 2000 acres, adjoining the Old King slaughter house and about a mile and one-half west of Gold Gulch, form ing a basin, eminently adapted to agri- cultural purposes on the surface when water comes along. which is no impos- sible event, considering the immense volume of agua which has been de- veloped among the great properties i'm mediately above it.
 This property lies along side the Copper Queen properties its whole length, and is on the well known belt occupied by the Pittsburg. the Lowell, tue DdI uutl, nu tnC SdiuAhNt oAiN @-A~ zona. and between them and the Pritchard properties, and from these facts and the fine surface indications cropping out all over the ten claims, its owners and promoters hve a right to expect magnificent results when their combined resources enable them to sink the required depth. Hereto fore the boys have been kept hustling to keep up their assessment work, but they intend to apply for patent and put in their whole assessment work in one shift, which will doubtless bring the same old copper measure to light. Being on much lower ground, the great copper deposit ought to be struck at $50 feet in as fine form as the Calumet and Arizona has struck it at 1000. In the mean time the Queen people are sinking on their properties within a few yards of the Hutchison property, and confidently expect most gratifying results. Flattering reports are coming in from the Easter Sunday. and that particular district is rapidly coming to the front.
 Miners are beginning to pile in from Globe. They represent the standard intelligent mining element in Arizona, and it is to be hoped that they will find employment in Bisbee.

DAWSON IS DEAD.
Is a Fine Country for Miner to Keep
 Away From.

G. Schraplan arrived here yesterday morning from Dawson City, Y. T.. and IS registered at the Commercial hotel, says the Phoenix Republican. He is miner and engineer by profession, and not rich mine owner, but the fact that he comes from the frozen north arouses the interest of those he meets, and the further fact that he vars a handsome and valuable gold nugget chain. together with astill more handsome and valuable nugget for q watch charm, lays him open to the auguring newspaper reporters.
 MT. Schraplan has lived along the Alaskan coast for several years, and has been employed in many of the large enterprises conducted there, but last spring he fell victim to the al turing advertisements of the transpor- tation companies and went to Dawson city. Asked to say something regard ing that camp, he replied that Daw- son is so dead a man could not get himself held up there without he had a friend to do it. The streets are full of people. and there is little work for them. The transportation companies advertised the building of some new railroad lines this summer from Daw- son to the surrounding camps, but as yet the work has not commenced, and the hundreds that fiocked in thinking everything would boom, are getting out again as fast as possible. But that is no easy thing. Cut rates are made in the spring to get the people in there but they are allowed to get out the best way they can.'
 The cider creeks and gold camps, he says. are rapidly being worked out and during the last year there have been no new discoveries of importance. There are some quartz lodges, but as yet none have proved profitable to work. though capital may eventually master the difficulties and expense D e. essary in developing them. He was there four months and only secured work for month and a half, and then had to sue to collect his wages.
 Asked regarding prices, he said, ev- erything is cheap there now excep' board and beer. Wages are s4 per day which is too low in comparison with board and other expenses and the short season one can work. He said he had little to do with the saloons there, for there were too many other things for which money is needed. A glass of beer costs a quarter, and it is little bit of glass at that, and the barkeep- CT generally tries to tie string to it then so the customer won't drink it all. He says the saloons and gambling houses are suffering with the rest. and many are closing up. large part of the sporting fraternity leaving the camp.
 He has nothing to say of what that section may be eventually when capital gets to work properly. but for the pres ent he says Dawson is one of the best places he knows of for working man to keep away from. He expects to leave shortly for Tombstone or some other Arizona camp, where large oper- ations are in progress.

REFUSED $1,oo0, 900
Relief Gold Mining Company is Not on
 the Market

IhS mdTkCt
 It is not everybody that has a chance to refuse a million dollars. but it was reliably reported yesterday that one instance of that sort occurred here last week. Rather part of it oc- cured here and the rest of it in New York. The refusal, however. was not because the money did not look good to those to whom it was offered. but be- cause they thought there would be more money coming in later if they did not get too anxious.
 The deal in question was relative to the Relief gold mine, owned by a company formed in New York by Pro- lessor Treadwell, and of which George Hamlin of this city is superintendent. Certain capitalists, working through an Fl Paso firm. offered to make a big cash payment on the mine, to be followed by deferred payments that would aggregate $1,000.000. The of fer was first made to Mir. Hamlin. who ferred them to the company in New York. The company announced that 1t had no desire to sell, and so inform ed Mir Hamiin. He then stated that he had the same sentiments. A mill ion dollars is a nice bunch of money but all concerned are certain that by holding on a little they may not gel rich they will be richer. They have the mine about ready for reduction works. and expect shortly to be get ting regular payments from the ground.-Phoenix Republican.

VAL VERDE SHELTER.

The recent reorganization of the Va, Verde company. by which F. NJ. Mt - phy and c. P. Collins become associa- ted to it, marks the beginning of ar era in mines and mining to the east of Prescott, that is of incalculabie benefit to the country. For genera tions the miner of this section has been simply paying tribute with his product to Pueblo, Fl Paso. Denver and other smelting centers. Ore that would run as high as $50 a ton has been as worthless to him as so much hay. Consequently the numberless prospect holes that abound in every district. and especially so in eastern points from Prescott, have been simply strangled and deserted. The new com pany it is said will place lead jacket in their plant that will permit the handling of any character of ore re- ceived. With railroad facilities now perfected and transportation facilities at a minimum in cost, mining people are greatly pleased over the change that faces them. and will no doube be greatly benefited under these condi. tons that have at last arrived.-Pres colt Journal Miner.

GREAT GOLD DISCOVERY.
Excitement Over Reported Strike in
 Nye County, Nevada.

4 special fromButler, Nye county, where the famous Tonopah mines are situated, says: "A strike has been made here which makes Tonopah with out a doubt the richest mining camp in the world. The strike was made at 4S0 feet on the MiZpah extension ledge. about a mile and quarter east of the original workings on that fa- nous ledge. It is practically new strike. There was no surface indica- tons of any value and the ledge is said to extend from the original mine to the place from where the strike was made The ore resembles that struck in the Fraction and is very rich. The Tonopah lodges are now shown to be over two miles in length. When the news was received on the streets in Butler the town went wild and the greatest excitement prevailed"
