very reasonable cost and will
likely be built during the year.
The formations of Loon creek
are principally granite, which
vary from the gray fine grained
variety SO common to central
Idaho to one containing the
coarse pink tinted crystals of
orthoclase feldspar which char
acterizes the granite of Pixies
Peak back of Cripple Greek. The
granite is cut by great variety
of dixie rocks which vary from
light colored rhyolite and quartz
porphyry to heavy basic horn
blend diorite. There are dozens
of great quartz bearing fissure
veins traversing the district, also
numerous narrow belts of schist
that may be due to shearing
movements. A thin bedded SER
les of slate quartzite and silicious
limestone occur near the old
placers that, while completely
altered, look suspiciously like
the Wood river series of carbon
ferrous sedimentary formations.
The Lost Packer vein is near
ly vertical fissure that splits a
prominent mountain spur from
top to bottom, cutting down
through series of heavy terrace
like sheets of light colored igne-
Gus rock that caps the mountain;
it maintains the same strength
and size down into the underly-
ing granite. This great vein is
over twenty feet wide in places
and is being developed by three
adit tunnels started and driven
on the vein at elevations varying
from 100 to $50 feet below the
highest ore crest. The vein fill

The Lost Packer has shipped
five full carloads of first.class ore
to the Salt Lake valley shelters
during the past year which
averaged very close to 8 ounces
of gold, Is ounces silver and 1OI

SEEK "SCAPEGOAT."
Russians Trying to Find Some One to

Sc. Petersburg, May 5.-o1S p. M
The Russian papers are rather sparinG
| in their comment on the battel of kiu-
lien-Cheng, evidently awaiting more
complete details, but what they say
| contains no trace of discoura cement.
The Novoe Vremya says the days of
patience announced by Gen. Kuropat-
kin have now begun and declares that
the japanese difficulties will increase
as they advance. The paper believes
the chief danger now is In the attitude
of the Chinese and says:
| Our diplomats must make the pow
erS realize the danger of Chinese viola
tion of neutrality. Russia must win, but
with heavier sacrifices Il heavier price
will be eXacted from her foes
The Niedomosti remarks:
1T is a Japanese victory. Now let
us seek for the scapc goat. 1t IS the
fortune of war. Glory t" the dead ana
to the survivors of the heroic fight
against overwhelming odds. But the

The Novoe Vremya's expert says the

proves clearly that the Russians should
have withdrawn during the night of
April go and adds:
"Kashtalinsky forcdoomed them to
destruction. It is Il miracle OF heroiSm
and fortitude that they escaped after

Admiral Barker on Its Dangerous Prop
critics as Now Made.

Washington, May 5.-Rear- Admiral
Barker. Commander-in-Chicf OF the
North Atlantic fleet, in his Endorsement
on the report of the court OF inquiry
that investigated the explosion on the
battle-ship Missouri, hits the Navy
Department n hard rap i'm connection
with the use OF smokeless powder.
He says 1t has been proved that the
properties of the smokeless powder in
troduccd into the navy have not been
fully understood either by those using
it on board our ships or by those who
make and issue it for service"
Until more Is known about the pow
der he believes the limit Of quick firing
has been reached, as the Missouri ac-
cident demonstrated that it Is danger
Gus to fire RAPIDLY to lecward as well as
to windward. 1t has been considered
until now that the only danger from q
flare back" or "bloW back was in FIR
ing tn windward
Admiral Barker says that rapid fir
ing has developed some OF the hitherto
unknown or dimly perceived properties
Of the powder, but that much more is
to be learned, and he recommends an
exhaustive laboratory investigation
and experimental firing on shore.
He believes it is now absolutely nee
ess3ry to wait Il certain time after
each Shot from the big guns before be-
ginning to reload, to allow the escape Of
the mysterious gases such us those
which caused the explosion on the Mis-
souri,, but he thinks improvements can
be made which will make it safe to fire
even faster than at present. Admiral
Barker recommends:
Cd Exhaustive inquiry as to the
nature OF the gases given off by smoke
less powder which remain in the gun or
carriage cases, and whether these
gases can be prevented.
CD Whether it is possible to arrange
the interior of turretS SO as to separate
one gun from another, and both from
the handlinS-rooms, making accidents
from exploding shells or burning pow
Ger improbable if not impossible.
GO Revision Of rules for target prac-
tice. requiring the reports of chief UNI
pircs to state whether an allowance of
tim" was given for flare backs,' and
if so, the exact amount. at present
many of the reports are not clear.

nance, which will begin study Of
