IMPERIAL PALACE
is DESTROYED
1t Is Thought to be Result of Po-
litical Troubles i'm Korea.

London, April IA special dis
patch from Paris received here today
announces, that the imperial palace at
Seoul, Korea, has been destroyed by
fire and the emperor has fled.
The fire began in the evening and
lasted throughout the night. Only the
ruinsof the palace remain. The en-
peror and suite succeeded in escaping
to nearby refuge. The report does
not mention any loss of life nor does
it give the cause of the fire, but the
recent political unrest in the Korean
capital leads to the fears that the de-
struction of the palace was the work
of the rebellious element.

RUSSIAN STORY
OF THE BATTLE
Full Details at Last Received at
st. Petersburg.

Port Arthur, April 15.-An engage
ment occurred at 6 o'clock Tuesday
between seven Russian torpedo boats,
the cruiser Bayan and Japanese YES
sells.
The torpedo boat destroyer Beze-
tashni was sunk. Five torpedo boat
destroyers, with the Bayan, returned
at o. m.
The battleships Petropovlavsk, Po-
bieda and Peresviet and torpedo gun
boat Gayadamask then put to sea.
At $3.50 a. m. a terrific explosion oc-
occurred beneath the Petropavlovsk
and the ship went down in two min
utes.
The Japanese squadron, consisting
of about 90 ships, remained in sight
until O'Clock in the afternoon,
The fighting between the opposing
flotillas of torpedo boat destroyers
lasted about an hour. The Bezetashni
was surrounded by three Japanese tor
pedo boat destroyers and sunk.
The Japanese boats then withdrew
and Japanese squadron appeared on
the horizon, whereupon the Russian
squadron left the roadstead, steering
in the direction of the enemy's ships,
which retired. Soon, however, the
Japanese resppeared with formid-
able force of about score of wsrships.
The Russian squadron returned to
the roadstead and took up its position
in line of battle ready to receive the
enemy. The sudden explosion which
destroyed the Petropavlovsk occurred
almost Immediately thereafter and the
battleship went to the bottom.
Grand Duke Cyril, Capt. Jakovlaff,
commander of the Pertopovlavsk,
four officers and about 80 men were
saved.
The battleship Pobieda was damaged
amidships and went into the harbor,
where she anchored. The enemy's
vessels, which formed in two divis-
ions, disappeared in the course of the
afternoon.

Resumes Operation.

J. w. Royer, field manager for
the Thunder Mountain Gold COM
pany, arrived in camp. Sunday
and Immediately hired a crew of
men to work on their property on
Deadwood mountain. This prop
erty has been closed down since
early in the winter.
Mr.. Royer says that while he is
unable to say at this time just
how extensively operations will
be carried on, it is the company's
intention to give the property a
thorough prospecting.
Mr.. Royer is one of the owners
of the famous Silver King at
Warrens, and helped to bring
that property out of the prospect
stage to its present standing as a
producer.

Developments,
SOME INVESTORS ARE COMING IN
More in Lower Tunnel Of the Jumbo oWork other
Properties to Be Made on Buffalo Chief
Contracts VIII be Let.

The Jumbo ore body in No. 4 is
still increasing.
Another shift was added to the
Rob Roy yesterday. The tunnel
has now advanced 100 fert and
shows a splendid body of high
grade ore.
A contract will be let within a
few days for an additional 100
feet of shaft on the Buffalo Lake
and within a week work will have
been started on the Wild Horse
and Presidential properties.
The Colonel is making a phe-
nomenal showing, judging from
the little work done, only three
days a week. Louis Smith is
getting anxious to hear that his
fan and piping has been shipped.
The Mother Lode No. 2 still
shows large quantities Of high
grade ore. A coal pit is being
burned and a general cleanup
made. ..
A few investors are coming in
daily now and by the 18th it is
confidently expected that great
activity will be in order.
Rumor upon rumor reaches us
that something is about to hap
pen. Just what, no one will tel
who should know, but it seems tc
be taken for granted that big
things are about to take place.
The air is full of it, and everyone
here has taken up a hole in his
belt and shortened his suspenders
and we're ready for it anyway
Where there is so much smoke
there must be some fire.

A special to the Tribune from
the Hump says, George Bremen,
Mat Gilbert and Theodore Parks
came into camp last night and
today are visiting their different
properties WITH a view to starting
operations.
On the Buffalo Chief a sample
of the $50 foot of tunnel will be
taken of not less than 1000 lbs.
and the same will be shipped to
some outside point and thorough
test made. Work will be COM
menced Immediately on the lower
tunnel which will be about 500
feet. 1t has not been decided
vet whether this will be done by
contract or days pay. This prop
erty is under the management of
Mat Gilbert.
George Bremen, after making
an examination of the Coarse
Gold, says he is well pleased with
the outlook and will start opera
tions just as soon as necessary
arrangements can be made and
plans perfected.
Theodore Parks said his COM
pany would not be ready to begin
operations for week or ten days
yet, but would be ready by that
time to begin a steady and syste-
matte development.
The Atlas company has drifted
100 feet south and 40 feet north
on the 200 foot level and has good
ore all the way, including cross
cuts, which has been run for II
feet.

and drifting 100 feet either way
on the ledge.
A. E. Foster started in to Buff
falo Hump the middle of the
week to do a lot of work on the
property Of the Buffalo Hump
Mining & Milling Co. There are
two claims, the Little Francis and
the Venezuela, on the Jumbo
ledge, adjoining the Jumbo Ex-
tension. Some fine ore is shown
on the claims, the same as in the
Jumbo, and the owners of the
property believe they have some-
thing worth working. They will
spend several thousand dollars
this season opening up the prop
erty. DR.. o. 1. Searles of Gales
burg, ILL.,, who was here for a
time last fall, is one of the heav-
lest owners.
d. w. Bridgeman returned on
Thursday from a trip up Rapid
river where he has large mining
interests. He reports that the
Weyant company is building a
wagon road to meet the road that
is to be built by the county, or
rather by county aid. The road
is being surveyed from the Iron
Springs camp, a Weiser man do
ing the work. That part is in
Washington county. It is expec-
ted that the road will be built this
season, and give all the Seven
Devils miners a good outlet from
their camp.
The Wyant company is putting
in its saw mill to get ready for
the big stamp mill that is to go
in this season. The Iron Springs
company has about sixty men at
work, getting ready for the 100
ton cyanite plant. The company
has a world of ore, almost be-
yond reasonable calculation.
The Holbrook brothers have
bonded their group of claims at
head of Copper creek, three miles
from the Iron Springs for $4,000
with a good payment down.
Jones Fuller received a letter a
few days ago from ]. E. Earring
ton, his partner in Roosevelt,
giving the results of some ore
tests from the Mollie and Dakota
claims, recently sold by Mr.. Full
Ter. Nine assays taken during
the month of May showed an av-
erage of $679.22 in gold and sill
yer. The property is worked by
long tunnel which is now in about
$50 feet. 1t was located five
years ago, second only to the
Caswell or Dewey property, which
it adjoins. Mr.. Fuller was in
the camp for the first time in
August, 1899. Going up the hill
on the Caswell property one day
after a heavy rain, he found a
string of gold as large as knit
ting needle and a foot long, where
it had been washed in a little
gully by the rain, and on going
to the other side of the hill he
found the same formation and
located it. He believes it will be
one of the best properties in the
; west. .-Grangeville Standard.

Otto Abeling returned Tuesday
from a trip to Portland, Me-, in
the interest of the Dewey mine
on the Clearwater. The machin-
cry has been ordered for the 100
ton cyanide plant, and is to begin
arriving this month. 1t is made
by the Allis-Chalmers Co. of Chi
cago, all except the cyanide tanks
which are to be made of Califor-
MIA red wood, by a San Francisco
firm. Work is to begin shortly
on the new power dam, and it is
expected that the mill will be in
successful operation this season.
A large force of men will be en-
ployed.
A. D. BARLEY brought in some
fine ore from the Clearwater, a
few samples of which are on ex-
hibition at the Standard office.
Mr.. Bartly located in the camp six
years ago and now has ten claims
there. Hehas said from the first
that the Clearwater camp would
be one of the greatest mining
camps in the northwest, as soon
as it becomes thoroughly known
and opened up.
The ore in question comes from
the George Coleman claim, on the
east bank of the river. There is
an eight foot ledge that shows
$92 in gold and silver. It is syl,
vanite ore and as pretty as one
would wish to see. The ledge
stands vertically and is located
for five claims. There is one rich
streak carrying values that are
incredible; so much so that Mr..
BARLEY would not make then
public.
The Dewey dam is built on the
Providence claim, one of Mr.
Bartley's holdings, and in return
for this right he is to have power
for developing his property. Mr.
BARLEY reports that the river is
falling steadily and that it vii
soon be possible to begin work ir
replacing the dam that went out
in the spring. The old dam is
now being torn apart, ready fol
being put in the new structure.

FISH FOOD NOT THE BEST.
Many Fallacies About q Diet on Sea
Products Are Exs0nt.

Many Fallacies About q Diet on Sea
Products Are Exsant.
It is doubtful whether any given
food in common use contains colsutu-
ents which have selective action, so
to speak, on the property of minister
ing to one part of .he body more than
another. As q rule, when food is as
sumed to have specific reparative prop
erties-as, for example, so called
brain or nerve food-the fact really is
that such food is easily and quickly
assimilated to the body's general ao-
vantage; in q word, in such case re-
pair quickly overtakes waste and q
real purposeful nutrition and restora-
ton are accomplished. The admins
tration Of such elements as phosphorus
or iron in medicine is, Of course, DIFF
ferent matter, but these elements are
evenly distributed in the materials OF
daily diet.
It 10 often stated that fish is food
which ministers particularly to- the
needs OF the brain, because 1t contains
phosphorus. As matter Of fact, tsh
does not contain more phosphorus than
do the ordinary meat foods, and 1t GER
tainly does not contain it IN free
state. The notion that fish contains
phosphorus had no doubt it's origin in
the glowing phosphorescence OF hsh In
the dark. This phosphorescence Is due
not to phosphorus at all, but to micro
organisms. The belief, therefore, that
fish Is a brain food is Just about as
reasonable as the idea that because a
soup is thick and gelatinous 1T will
stick to the ribs" or as sensible as the
celebrated advice to Nerdant Green
to lay in a stock Of Reading biscuits to
assist his reading.
Fish, of course, is excellent food,
partly because Of the nourishing ma
ture Of its constituents and partly be-
cause of its digestibility. But It is in
no sense a specific for brain or nerve.

Some years ago Japan was neither 30
free nor 30 friendly with other nations
as she is today. In those old days,
when a foreign ship entered the Japa-
nese ports, the captain was obliged to
place his Bible and rudder In charge
of the chief officer OF the port and
leave them there until he was ready
to sail. OF course he wouldn't sail
without either, and the Japs could
easily keep tabs on the movements OF
all ships in their harbors.

THE WEIGHT OF MONEY.
Deceptive Appearance Of Metal ~
Well n Paper. !

Deceptive Appearance of Metal -
Well rs Paper.
The weight of money is very de-
ceptive," said an employee of the treas
ury. For instance, young man came
in here one day with a young woman.
I was showing them through the de-
partment and happened to ask him if
be thought the young girl was worth
her weight in gold. He assured me
that he certainly did think so, and
after learning that her weight was LOG
pounds we figured that she would be
worth in gold s2s,647. The young man
was fond enough Of her to think that
was rather cheap.
Another thing that deceives many
people," he continued, lis the weight
Of paper money. Now, how many one
dollar bills DO you think it would take
to weigh as much as one FIVE dollar
goldpieceY
On a guess the visitor said fifty, and
the clerk laughed.
Il have heard guesses on that" he
said, all the way from so to 500,
and from men who have handled
money for years. The fact Of the mat.
ter is that with a five dollar goldpiece
on one scale you would only have to
put six and one~half dollar bills on the
other scale to balance it.
The question afterward was put to
several people and elected answers all
the way from 20 to 1000, the majority
guessing from 800 to 500.
Taking the weight Of gold coins and
bills given at the treasury, it was hgur-
ed that Eve dollar goldpiece weighs
.296 Of an ounce avoirdupois. The en-
ployee at the treasury who handled
the paper money said that 100 bills
weigh four and one-half ounces. That
would make one bill weigh .45 OF an
ounce, and between six and seven bills
would balance the goldpiece.
On the proposition Of how much
money one can lift, figures were OBJ
tanned at the treasury. Where certain
numbers Of coins were placed IN bags
and weighed as standards, for exam
ole, the standard amount Of gold coin
Is 5000, which weighs 1877 pounds.
Five hundred silver dollars weigh ss1a
pounds, while $500 in halves, or 400
coins, weigh eleven pounds:
Two hundred pounds Of coin money
Of various kinds IL made up as fol-
lows: Silver dollars, $2,o17; half dol
lars, $S,6se; quarter dollars, $S,6sI;
dimes, $S,61560; nickels, $917; pennies,
$295.61.
In one dollar bills the same weight
would amount to S71,111.-Washingtop
