several hundred acres controlled by the company show rich returns.
 At certain points, MT. Mckinley said yesterday, surface dirt was found to contain small particles of virgin gold that run from a few cents to as high as forty cents. He is certain the new plant will save practically all of this treasure.
 Instead of plant with capacity of 60 tons daily, the new outfit will have capacity of 240 tons, and when the machinery is in working order a pub lie test, to which everyone will be in- vited will be given on the ground. The property lies about eleven miles east of Prescott, in the Chapparal district, and is to be systematically worked by the company, after the new plant shall have been shown to do what is claimed for it. The same company is prepar- ing to operate on leased lands in Mex leo, where they have realty eonees- sions that will furnish work for years for the large plants that are now un- der construction.

THE BENNINGTON DISASTER.

The annals of the American navy contain no record of disaster cores bonding with that which overtOk the gunboat Bennington as she was prepar- ing to leave the Harbor of San Diego, as it is said to be the first boiler explo- sion recorded on United States war ship in time of peace. The calamity, great as it is, is far inferior however, to that which happened to the battle ship Maine in Havana harbor, when two officers and 264 men were killed or drowned. But the disaster which befell the Maine was due to a different cause to that of the Bennington, and the
 sufferings of the battleship's victims were light compared with those expert eneed by many of the survivors of the

boiler explosion.

gunboat $ boiler explosion.
 The horror of the calamity is mag nifed because we are at peace with the world, when life afloat in the navy is supposed to be as safe as it is ashore, During the Civil War the boilers of many of our naval vessels were explod- ed by the enemy's shells, and were followed by a heavy mortality and a long list of other casualties but, al that time, disasters of the kind were among the probabilities, hence they failed to shock the public mind to the extent the Bennington explosion has done. The latter happened as the ship was preparing to leave port to extend relief to the monitor Wyoming which lay crippled at Port Harford, and it came like destructive thunderbolt out of clear sky.
 It is impossible to more than speeu, late as to the cause of the disaster The facts will probably be determined by the naval board of inquiry appointed to make the investigation, provided that anyone in the neighborhood of the boiler which exploded has survived the catastrophe to throw light upon it. There is some disposition to attribute it to the rash employment of a boiler which was known to be defective, but public judgment on that score should be reserved until the official inquiry has been made, because of the possibil. ity of grave injustice being done to someone in authority. It must be re. membered that it is only recently that the gunboat was extensively repaired at the Mare Island navy yard, and the presumption is reasonable that the boil CTS were not overlooked in the official inspection made to determine what re. pairs the vessel needed to make her strictly seaworthy. Admiral McCalla is reported to have expressed the opi- nion that the steam pressure was raised too high. This is quite possible, be- cause it is a well known fact that most locomotive boiler explosions are due to the expansion of superheated steam, which develops as suddenly as the ex- plosive forces of dynamite when ignit- ed. and with corresponding power, and under certain circumstances neither safety valves nor any other human de- vice can prevent disaster when these conditions are reached

DRY WASH PLANT IS DELAYED
 AT FACTORY.
(From Sundays Daily.)

Forrest Mckinley, general manager of the Boiling Pot Coneentrator Com pany, and the secretary and treasurer of the International Gold Mining com pany, was in Prescott yesterday, and returned to the property of the latter company in the Chapparal district last evening.
 MT. Mckinley came here few days ago from Guthrie, Oklahoma, and is giving his personal attention to in- vestigating the plans of the company that intends putting in a new dry wash process in the Chapparal country, where they have control of large tract of land.
 Chas. E. Mckinley, who has and IS in charge of the work in this county, said yesterday that owing to delay caused by the necessity of changing a portion of the plant that is to be used, work here has been slow, and hat the proposed public test of the new plant cannot be made within the time here tofoTe announced.
 He explained that when the machin- cry for this part of the company's lands was set up and tested at the factory it was discovered that the air compress sors were not large enough to serve. Upon attempting to repair this error it was found necessary to manufae- ture new ones. From advice reeeiv- ed from the eastern inanufactory he expects the plant to be on the cars there by August 6.
 All preparation has been made for installing the new plant, and Mir. Me Kinley feels confident that barring de- lay in transportation the new outfit will be in place and in operation by the first of September. Constant tests as to values of the placer land the com pany has under control show rich earth at every point, and if this new process that IS believed to be practical and beyond all experiment, will do the work so confidently expected of it, this dry wash proposition will be one of the big money-makers of this sec tion of the territory.
 The actual work of installing the plant is but a short time, once the out it arrives here. Every possible pre- paration has been cared for, and the company is now anxiously awaiting the shipment. The. various tests of the ground from different points on the

 The trip was one of inspection, par tieular attention being given to the new bridges along the line. The big steel bridge just beyond. the buttes is now completed, and the false work of the temporary structure is being taken away. The principal part of this bridge is one immense span, said to be one of the largest single spans in the west, being 320 feet long. Anoth- CT big steel bridge is being put in at Kelvin to replace the temporary struc- ture that has been doing service. The steel bridges are of unusual strength, and built for the accommodation of any traffic that might be conceived from the present coalition of railroad ing generally, so that when this piece of road becomes part of transeon- tinental line it will he ready for any emergency.

the naval hospital in this city for some
weeks, was found by Policeman Wise of the
Twining City district wandering aimlessly
through the woods near that suburb yester-
day evening, attired only in breechclout
He was reticent when questioned, and it
was suspected, as afterward proved to be
correct, that his mental faculties were
clouded. He claimed however, that he had
removed his clothing in order to take a sun
bath, but had been unable to locate his gar
ments when ready to return to the hospital
The ambulance of the institution was called
and he was sent back.
An interesting ceremony, the consecra ton
of the building, has been arranged to occur
Sunday next at the Emmanuel Protestant
Episcopal Church, southeast corner of
Washington and Fillmore streets, which is
being looked forward to with much interest
by the congregation. The building, though
completed for a number of years, was never

NEW DRY DOCK PLANNED.
A Appropriation Not Sufficient to Enlarge
Present One at Norfolk.
Il Correspondence of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
NORFOLK, Va, April s, 1905.
1t is now certain that the great dry dock
under construction at the Norfolk navy
yard will not be enlarged from the original
plans. The appropriation of 1900, 600 is
not sufficient for the 15O-foot addition
which has been proposed, and the dock
will only be 5s6 feet in length when COM
pleted.
Plans are already being drawn for am
other dock adjoining the dock now build
ing $50 feet long, which is only fifty feet
less than the length Of the big dock at
Newport News, the largest dry dock in the
country and one of the largest in the
world. Before the present dock is entirely
completed Congress will be asked for an
appropriation of 81 100000 to build this new
dock. The recent acquisition by the gov
eminent of the Schmoele tract adjoining
the navy yard, makes this proposed dock
possible.
The dock now under construction will
not be completed for more than two years.
The contractors have had the job for
eighteen months, but have been delayed a
great deal by bad weather. The dock will
be constructed of wood and the dimensions
will be as follows: Length, $50 feet; avail.
able length, $50 feet; width at entrance, 1l2
feet; width in body; 126 feet; depth at mean
high water "a feet.

MGR. sTRosSMAYER DEAD.
Was Foremost Representative of His
Country in Literature.

Few ecclesiastics played more impor-
tant role in European politics during the
nineteenth century than Mgr. Strossmayer.
]. Georges Strossmayer was born In 1910
at Essex, in Slavonia, of a family, German
in origin, which had settled at Croatia and
in the course of 100 years became COM
pletely assimilated with the Slav nation
ality. Strossmayer was to become the fore
most representative of the Croatian race
and the boldest exponent of its patriotic
aspira lions, the champion Of Its interests
and the cultivator of the national litera-
ture and customs, which he wished to pre-
serve against the Entertainments OF the
Magyar and German elements in the en-
pire Of Austria.
He was educated at Diakovo and Pesth
University, and after brilliant academic
career was appointed in 1S47 director of
AuguSteneiem at Vienna and court preach
er. After the Hungarian rising in 1S4S, in
which he supported the cause of the Croa-
tians as against the Magyars, he was ap-
pointed Bishop of Diakovo and in his do
cese set himself to the work of founding
schools and developing the national senti-
ments.
Mgr Strossmayer was a prominent figure
at the Vatican council of 1S69-10, where,
together with Bishop Dupanloup, he con-
tested the doctrine of papal infallibility
with such eloquence as to earn from the
assembly the title of First Orator of Chris
tianity," but when the dogma was pro-
claimed he fully accepted 1t, and thence
forth only sought to bring all the Balkan
SIavs within the Roman Catholic Church
