that they can build ships cheaper In

want any more.
Il would rather undertake To build
thousand miles of railroad than two
ships, he said 1T has taken foul

Purity of Nevada Cold.

There we're received by the San
Francisco mint lately several bars Of
remarkably fine gold, says the Den
yer Mining Reporter. They were
obtained from the treatment Of about
fourteen and one-half tons OF ore
which gave the remarkable yield OF
SO, 900 a ton. The purity of the gold,
however, is more noteworthy than
even the richness Of the ore, the bars
assaying between 98l and 1918 fine.
The bars are said to be the purest
v e received at the San Francisco
mint, and it is worthy Of comment
that il the bars had been a few points
finer they would have reached the
standard of fneness OF the United
States mint, namely, 800. The gold
in the bullion was valued as it stood
at $20.41 an ounce, as against $40. 81
an ounce for perfectly pure gold.

Wen Organized Prospecting Ex-
petition for Nevada.

The Salt Lake Herald tells of a
wellorganized prospecting expedition
from that city to the Nevada gold
fields, as follows:
Five teams and rigs, with a man
in charge OF each, completely out
fitted for a full winters campaign in
the gold districts Of Nevada, pulled
out from this city at 5 o'clock Thurs
day evening to make the journey
cross-lots over the desert and through
the Deep Greek country. This is the
outfit organized and to be handled by
Lawrence P. Kimball, the well-known
liveryman of this city and Park City,
who took the tram for Tintic last
evening to join the caravan.
Mr.. Kimball has the expedition so
well organized that it boasts a good
camp cook, a first-class blacksmith,
assayer and other necessary talent
to carry on an intelligent campaign
of prospecting through the country
between here and Goldfeld. and he
hopes to make the time count during
the next ninety days. He has men
in his party familiar with every mile
of the country to be Travelled and,
with plenty Of grain for his animals,
tents, bedding, food and medicines
for his men, he anticipates no trouble
in getting through, even though
storms overtake him.
Once in the country for which he
is headed, Mr.. Kimball will dispose
of bis teams and rigs to the best ad.
vantage, keeping only what he re
quires tor his own use in the land o
gold. He expects to be gone al
winter and, if things come out right
there is no telling when be will re
turn. No one is identified with Mr.
Kimball other than his own clos
business associates, and there is ali
! solutely no strings on his movements
This is probably the biggest singl
e outfit that ever started or a pros
n pecting expedition from this state
q Every man in the party knows wha
it is to brave the elements and ever

plishing something worth his while

the Inyo Register. The preliminary
work is being done for the installa-

Mr.. Curtis said hat the principal

Contracts for s1.5O 600.

Contracts involving the expendi-
ture Of 81, 500, 600 we're let by the
United States government at Hazen,
Churchill county, this state, last Fri
day, for constructing 100 miles OF
lateral bitches, and the work will
begin without delay. The contracts
call for the completion of the bitches
within six months. The San Fran
cisco Construction company, better
known in Nevada as Warren & Co.,
captured the lions share of the work.
AS a result OF these contracts it is
estimated that one firm in Reno will
sell at least $50, 600 worth of supplies.
Other firms will also be benefited to
a considerable extent and hundreds
of men will be employed in the great
work.

YOUTHS CONFESS MURDER.
Young Chicago EmuIators Of Car Barn
Bandits CAUGHT.

Chicago, July 26.-Emulators of the
exploits of the car barn bandits. four
youths. have confessed killing one man
in a saloon holdup and robbipg a score
of others at different times.
The murder was that of John Lane
stage carpenter of the Illinois theater
who was shot in an attempt to hold up
Gustav Reigels saloon on the morning
OF July 4. The proprietor also was
shot. The prisoners are Peter Dulfer
James and William Farmby and David
Kelly. All declare they are less than
20 years of age.
The robbing Of freight car of the
Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul at
Fairfield, ILL.,, last week led to the ar
rest of the quartet. Besides the
freight car robbery the young bandits
confessed to many robberies prior to
July 4. most of which were saloons.
The police believe the young men have
not confessed to all their crimes, and
expect at least two other murders will
be admitted by them.

today about As per cent completed.
The ship is being constructed at the

The Washington, when launched,
will plough through the ocean at a
rate of % knots per hour, a rate of
speed equaled by only one cruiser thus

This is the contract speed required,

FLEET MAY GET
SHIPS FROM AMERICA,
Danger is Eminent-News of Seizure
Is Expected in Toxic Within a Few
Days-Food Is Contraband Of War,
and Russians May Intercept Vessels
With Cargoes From Pacific Coast.

Tokio-The object of the Russian
fleet. which left Vladivostok some
days ago and since reported cruising
off the Japanese main coast, is now
believed to be the capture of several
liners plying between San Francisco
and Seattle and oriental points. These
include the large vessels of the Pacific
Mail Steamship company and the
Northern Pacific company.
Fishermen have sighted the Rus
sian ships during the last few days
and declare that they are steaming
slowly and apparently are economizing
in the matter of coal.
The danger to ships trading in the
Japanese ports is a decidedly immi-
nent one and the belief is general here
that within very few days news of
the capture of several we'll known Pa
clfc liners may be expected. There
are few vessels trading with the
western contingent that are fast
enough to keep out of the way of the
Russian fleet. all of the three cruisers
which comprise the latter being better
than 20 knots in speed.
AS Russia has included foodstuffs in
its declaration as to what constitutes
contrahand Of war and as San Fran.
cisco, Seattle and Vancouver Nor.
chants have been doing a thriving
business in the latter class Of goods,
there is little doubt that most of the
steamships plying between the two
countries violate the spirit if not the
letter of the ruling.
1t is reported here that the Russian
fleet has succeeded in caching a quan.
tity OF coal at an island in the north
Pacific so that even if Vladivostok
should be blockaded and the feet
could not return there it would be in
a position to replenish its coal bunkers
and keep out of the way of any pur.
suing feet.
