AsphaIt Company,s CIalms.

Washington, March 22.-The state department has heard nothing from Minister Bowen to indicate that the Venezuelan government has made an answer to his last proposition to arbi- trate the American claims and 1t ia supposed the answer when it does come will be to the effect that the Venexueia government insists on awaiting the final action of it's courts upon the pending asphalt case. It will then re- main for the state department to de- termine how long 1t Is prepared to await this judicial action The diffi- culty Is that the Venezuela government has refused the application of the as- phalt company supported by Minister Bowen to revert to the status existing before the appointment of receiver in the asphalt case and allow the com- pany to repossess itself of it's property. As 1t is the receiver is taking out large quantities of asphalt from Ber- mudez lake, the proceeds of which arc going into the Venezuela treasury to the great financial loss of the company which Is making daily representation on the subject to the state department.

Her ShfpbuiIders to Aid in Enlarging
 Russian Navy.
 # St. Petersburg, March 23.-(12:36 a. m.)--The prospects of American ship builders having a large share in the rebuilding and enlargement of the Russian navy are growing brighter. An extensive naval program, which In few years will restore Russia to an equality with the flrst-class sea pow- CTS, has practically been completed, but has not yet received the final assent of Emperor Nicholas
 The policy of the admiralty will be to use the rebuilding of the navy for the development ses the sfirhuildfng indus try at home, In order to render the country independent of foreign con- struction in the future; and for this purpose the construction of yards in Russian waters by foreign builders will be encouraged. At the same time 1t Is realized that on account of the extent of the program. 1t will be impossible to construct all the ships in Russia with out entailing too much delay.
 All foreign shipbuilding interests are enlisted in the rivalry. The admiralty is inclined to show special considera- allies; but American propositions also are regarded with favor and when the orders are placed, America, next to France, Is likely to get the largest share, since there Is reason to believe that American enterprise may also un- dertake the construction of a great shipbuilding plant at some port of the Baltic or on the Gulf of Finland. On account of antl-British sentiment. the propositions of British shipbuilders arc receiving scant consideration.

How to Secure Timber.

An officer of the interior department
at Boise recently, in speaking of timber
depredations, said: The government
only seeks to stop the wholesale destruc-
ton of the timber on public lands for
commercial purposes. The act of con-
gress of 1893 permits a settler or a miner
or anyone needing timber for his own
use to cut $50 worth without asking for
permit to do so. And where he has
need for more. or where a number have
use for given amount of timber for
their own use. they can join in an ap-
plication to the department., setting
forth the amount each has nse for, and
ii none Of them are equipped to fell, re-
move and saw the timber into lumber,
they can combine and appoint an agent
to do this work for them, the only re-
quirements of the government being to
see that the applications are made in
good faith and that no collision is made
by which the lumber manufactured goes
into commercial use.
Ills A0W 40 WOAt hAOW IL W buC UElu-
cipal mining companies which have had
occasions to apply for timber for the
purpose of mining and the erection of
necessary buildings. The applications
are filed in the nearest land office, for

tent. This season one company in Hal

100, 900 feet of timber. and they will
probably require as much more during
the coming season.

BRIDGEPORT SUFFERS
HEAVY fire LOSS

Bridgeport, WASH, Aug. 29.-The
town Of Bridgeport was almost entirely
destroyed by fire yesterday. The cause
Of the fire is unknown, but the high
wind which prevailed at the time
caused the rapid spread Of the flames
subsequent to the discovery Of the fire.
The eonflagrstion originated In the
drug store Of DR.. Mckinley. and was
discovered at Q O'Clock in the morning.
The fire had made great Roadway, and
by the time the alarm had been given
and the volunteer fire department
aroused to action, but five minutes
later, the flames were beyond control.
The fiercest gale for years was blow
ing, rendering futile all efforts to fight
the fire. The buildings consumed were
all as dry as finder, and to this fact
and the inadequaoy of the water sup
ply is due the great loss which re-
suited. The damage to property is es-
timated at $50, 900.

Office, made the statement that his e.
innate Of the gold output Of Nome for
the season of 1905 was $4,000, 900.
This amount will be the record for
Nome and will exceed the output last
year by $4,000, 900.
Mr.. Wing bases his estimate on the
amount Of gold which has been sent
out Of Nome SO far this year and on
the private advices which ne has re-
ceived from assayers and other officials
whose business 1t is to keep tab on the
results Of mining in that part Of the
country. Mr.. Wing states that in hia
opinion it is the large amount Of ma

for the increase Of the gold output Of
that country.
