hagen Nelson was raised to the rank
of Viscount, and, on the recall of Sir
Hyde Parker became commander-in-
chief Of the Baltic fleet
One year and eight months after the
declaration Of peace Nelson again
hoisted his flag on the Victory and
sailed for the Mediterranean. He had
had the longest holiday of his life.
1t is needless to recount here the
weary preliminarias to the battle of
Trafalgar. how Nelson watched the
French fleet outside Tculon, and
chased 1t across the Atlantic and back
again. Spain had joined France, and
England now had two enemies to face
instead of one. On Aug. IS, this long
and fruitless chase was ended by Mel

miral CORVALLIS continuing to hunt
for the elusive French.

quest Of the British government that
Nelson took up his last command and

ALASKA'S TIN FIELDS.
Placer Mines Could Supply Worlds
Needs.

H. w. Hammond, now staying at
the ST. Francis, has recently return
ed from the tin fields of Alaska, and
is enthusiastic over the future OF tin
mining in the Territory. He states
that the placer deposits of tin ore, or
cassiterite, near Cape Prince of
Wales, are spread over an area
roughly twenty-five miles loLg and
ten miles wide.
'In this field" he says, there is
enough placer tin in sight to equal
for years to come the present world
output of $4,000 tons annually Yield
ing at this rate, the fields would not
be exhausted for a century. Outcrop-
pings of the tin ore from which these
placer deposits have come have been
located at various points in the York
Mountain range to the eastward, but
so far the main lodges have not been
uncovered. The placer fields them
selves are so large, however, and
easily worked, that quartz mining is
not likely to be either necessary or
advisable for decades to come.
Hammond called attention to the
fact that the ore yields percentage
of commercial tin remarkably high.
Of fifteen assays made by Hammond
the lowest percentage of tin obtained
was So, and the highest &c. THE cas-
siterite occurs underneath a stratum
of othar eravels from eight to ten
feet thick.
'sWhile the Prince of Wales district
is not famous for gold, enough gold
is found mixed with the tin to pay
all charges of working The wages
paid for labor are So per day and
found, equal to $3.50 per day through
the season. About 500 men, all ac-
tive miners, are now scattered over
the field, and practically all the placer
land in this district has been taken
I'D. The Government allows man
to locate twenty acres, a ridiculous
" large amount"
number of powerful companies
have already secured large holdings,
and Hammond thinks that the next
season will see several thousand men
emnloyed in the tin field. "a miner"
he says, experienced with tin ores,
needs only a few hundred dollars
outfit to work proftably claim
there, or he can use a hundred thous-

Hammond sketched the lay of the
ground yielding the'ore. "The fields

Hammond referred to the fact that
tin had been found elsewhere in
Alaska, "but nowhere" he said, in
large quantities. The placer tin OF
the cape fields alone. however, is
practically inexhaustible and sufh-
cient to supply the whole world

enemy's ships, were filed with rife

Captain Harvey, in the Temeraire,
fell on board the Redoubtable on the
other side. Another enemy was In a
like manner on board the Temeraire;
so that these four ships formed as
compact a tier as II they had been
moored together, their heads lying all
the same way. The lieutenants of the
Victory, seeing this, depressed the
guns on the middle and lower decks,
and fired diminished charge, lest the
shot should pass through, and injure
the Temeraire. And because there
was danger that the Redoubtable
should take fire from the lower deck
guns, the muzzles of which touched
her sides when they were run out, the
fireman of each gun stood ready with
a bucket of water, which as the gun
was discharged. he dashed into the
hole made by the shot. An incessant
fire was kept up from the victory

Shortly before the Redoubtable
struck, Nelson and Captain Hardy
were walking near the middle of the
quarterback; the admiral had just
commended the manner in which one
of the ships near him was fought,
when Captain Hardy left him to give
some necessary directions.
A few minutes later, Captain Hardy
observed a marksman in the rigging of
the Bucentaur taking deliberate aim
at Nelson. He called to him to change
his position. but at the same instant
bullet struck the admiral. Nelson was
prevented from falling by Captain
Hardy and a seaman who caught him
in the arms. The marksman was in
stantly brought down by a well direct
ed shot from young midshipman on
the Victory.

ordered to board her, but owing to the
very heavy sea he did not 10 so at
once, and captain called out: Have

form the duty, but Nelson stoned
him, saying, 1T is my turn now; and
if l come back it is yours" After
great difficulty he succeeded in board
ing the prize
About this time Nelson lost his
uncle, Captain Locker. however, who
had perceived the excellent qualities
of Nelson, and formed a friendship
for him, recommended him warmly to
Sir Peter Parker, then commander-in-
chief on the West Indian station. In
consequence he was removed to the
flag ship Bristol. and soon after, on
Dec. s, ITS, was appointed command
err of the brig Badger. In this brig
he was sent to cruise the bay Of Hon
duras for the protection of British
traders. On the 18th of June, 1T79, he
was made post captain of the Hichin-
brooke, of twenty-eight guns.
Thus well started on his naval ca

promotion cleared from his path-in
those days post captain rose to be an
admiral by seniority alone-Nelson be

In 1850 he came to America, where he

Horato Nelson was born at Barn

Sept. 20, 1853. He was the fifth son
or Rev. Edmund Nelson, and received
his baptismal name from the Earl of
Oxford, who was his godfather. For
his start in the British navy Nelson
had to thank his uncle, Captain Maui
