ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 25.-The ad-
miralty refuses to give the least infor-
nation in regard TO the searches for
vessels supposed to have on board con-
traband of war i'm the South African
seas.
The navy officials profess ignorance
as TO the identity Of the Russian ship
which examined the steamer Comedian-s
papers and the officials Of the foreign
Office are unfeignedly surprised at the
report that the vessel is the Smolensk
which. with the St Petersburg. some
time ago stopped a number of vessels
in the Red Sea.
They admit that il would not be ad-
MISSILE for the Smolensk TO act as re-
ported in view of the recent assurances
TO Great Britain that that vessel and the
st. Petersburg. which passed through
The Dardanelles under the Russian com
merc.aI flag. would make no more seiz-
ures Of British ships or attempt to hold
them UP.

their growing belief that the mysterious
warship is actually the Smolensk of the
Russian volunteer feet. As a matter

Tho Mountain city ,n,n..

Late reports from Mountain City are
very favorable. Mr.. Weston, who wen,
tc that camp to examine the mines for
Captain De Lamar, has returned well
pleased with what he aaw. He prc.
nounces the Nelson mine very rich. Tue
claims Of Joe Hall and the Walker Brop.
are showing up we'll and producing
very rich ore, but not enough work hae
been done on them to prove their real
value.
From other sources the INDEPENDENT
learns that the strikes are all right, and
still holding out good. The Nelson
mine is said to be the best propos itiop
although the claims of Hall and Walker
Bros. have the richest ore, and may
turn out better than the Nelson mine
when depth is attained. An average Of
the face of the drift in the Nelson mine
for more than five feet assays over $500
per ton in silver at SIS cents an ounce.
While the development work at
Mountain City is yet in it's infancy, en-.
ough has been done to prove that
large bodies OF ore exist there that only
wait the advent of capital to develop IN.
to rich mines. The INDEPENDENT is
firmly of the opinion that no other Sec
ton of Nevada offers better induce
ments to the capitalist and prospector
than does the country in and around
Mountain City, In the early days, the
old camp produced millions, and mil
lions more await the prospector and the
capitalist. Unless all signs fail, Noun.
tain City will be hummer before snow
flies next fall.

nally the matter Was called to the at
tentiou Of District Attorney Pike by a
well known county official. Mr.. Pike
gave it as his opinion that Mr.. Updike
was not the official coroner of Wasloc

wrote to the attorney general. Yester-
day Mr.. Pike received the following re-
ply from Mr.. S veeney:
CARSON Cry, New, May 81 1904.
Hon. w. II. A. Pike, District Attorney
OF Washoe County, Reno. Nevada.
My dear sir: have duly received
yonr favor OF the 10Th inst. wherein
you submit for my official opinion the
following query:
"Who is coroner in and for Reno
township md vicinity" In other
words, is the duly elected, qualified and
acting public administrator OF Washoe
county. by virtue Of his Office, entitled
to act as coroner Of Washoe county,
within Reno township, or is the duly
elected, qualified, and acting iustic Of
peace Of Reno township, by virtue Of
his Office, coroner, and entitled to the
fees attached to that officei"
An act Of our legislature approved
March z, 1883, page lis, made the pub.
lie administrator to be elected at the
general election in 1894 and each two
years thereafter, ok officio coroner. THE

Since the passage Of this Act Of 1899,
it has neither been repealed, amended,

l have given your query the careful
consideration it's importance demands
and my investigation leads me to the ir-
resistable conclusion and opinion that

This is not a very easy feat. but II
can be done.
In the first place you lay a dime on
the table and offer It as prize to
any one who can lift II and take II
away without touching either the coin
or the table with his fingers or with
plncers. tongs. knife, fork or spoon.
When everybody has considered the
problem and given II up. put your
mouth within a couple OF inches OF
tho coin and blow suddenly and as
hard as you can on the table Just in
front OF IL. The air will pontrate
under the dime, lift It up and carry It
a little distance. and you must hold
your hand or a cup. ready to catch II.
Hardly anybody who does not
already know the trick is likely to
think OF this simple solution.
Though simple In theory, It is not
