Especial to the Record Herall
Washington, Sept. l1.-Once
more in time of Cuban turmoil
a warship of tn United States
is headed for the harbor of Hav-
ana. The cruiser Des Moines,
which cleared from Norfolk un-
der the sealed orders yesterday,
is bound for Key West, it was
learned at the navy department
today, with the Cuban capital
its ultimate objective. Not since
the Inflated battle ship Maine
went on it's last mission to the
same port more than eight years
ago has the projecred visit there

Preached the present event in
interest, and, it may also be
said, apprehension.
There is a feeling in Wash
ington, accentuated by the mys-
terious secrecy which the State
Department seeks to maintain
on the subject, that affairs in
Cuba are approaching a crisis
in which this government may
figure prominently. The very
first formal recognition by the
United States that the revolu-
ton in the new republic is seri-
GUS and worthy of attention, so
far as is known, is the dispatch
ing thither Of the Des Moines.
The warship, moreover, has
sailed under directions that
came straight from the presi-
dent at Oyster Bay and not, as
is generally the case in mapping
out cruises for vessels in time
of peace, by orders originating
in the Navy Department.

John Brennan Denies Report that
the Indian Population is
y Dying Out.
Major John R. Brennan, In

Major John r. Brennan, In
dian agent at Pine Ridge, says
that the report that the Indians
as a nation, are dying out, is
not true at Pine Ridge. Major
Brennan is in the city, in at
te -ldance with numerous Indian
witnesses at United States court.
The Indian population on Pine
Ridge is now 6,727, an increase
of about 300 over the census of
four years ago. Another fact
which shows that the Indians,
racially, are not becoming ex-
tinct, in that the greatest NOR
tality, by far, is found among
the infant population. When
Indian mothers learn how to
care for their children, during
infancy and early childhood,
the race will then show a good
increase. The belief that tuber-
culosis is carrying off the red
men in great numbers, is an
other theory that Major Bren-
nan does not find borne out at
his agency.
On Pine Ridge, about sixteen
or seventeen hundred able
bodied Indians are dropped from
the ration list in the spring, and
not put on again until the win
ter makes it difficult for even
an able-bodied J4o to keep soul
and body together. OF this
number five or six hundred are
man, all of whom find work, and
fof the warm season actually
support the women and chill
dren dependent upon them. For
those, however, who cannot
procure work, the government
supplies work. An irrigation
project has been in process of
construction on Pine Ridge
agency for the past four years.
The work is all done by Indians
who receive $1.25 day per
man, and $3.50 for a man with
a team. Already hundreds of
acres have been reclaimed from
pasture land and are being
cultivated by the Indians, with
the result that good crops, es-
pecially Of vegetables are being
raised. Dams are being built
at suitable places along the
small creeks to store not only
the hood waters, which would
4 not bbe sufficient in this region,
but also the natural flow.
bitches are then dug to carry
The water to the various access
ible parts. The Indians them
selves, are much interested in
this work. They realize the
banefit that irrigation will be to
chem, and contrary to the belief
iyheld by the majority of people,
they are glad to go to work each
returning spring. Some three
hundred or three hundred and
fifty of their brothers are work

LOOKING BRIGHT
Fairview, Manhattan, GoldfieId

Some Fine Results.
CAMPS ARE MAKING
GOOD EVERY WAY
f. H. Mead Returns, Bringing
Some Flattering Reports of
Great Mineral Camps.

On returning from the present booming
camps OF Nevada. his numerous visits
10 which have made him thoroughly fa-
miiar with the real conditions there,
E. H. Mead. the woll-known broker and
mining man. is moro impressed with the
opportunities offered In Nevada than evor
before. There has sufficient time elapsed
since his last trip TO Goldfield and Bull
lroG to admit of great development work
and Mr.. Mead stated Monday that the
improvements made were not short OF
marvellous.
Fairview of Great Promise.
OF Fairview. where he spent several
busy days, Mr.. Mead has only the high
est praise Tho surface showings In this
district, where so many Salt Lakcrs have
gotten In on the ground floor, could not
be surpassed Even Manhattan with all
It's surface glaciers must share Its hon
ors with the gold and silver camp OF
Falrvew. The rush into Fairview con-
tinues with unabated vgor, and the com
ing summer will bring results In this dis
trict that will fully justify the hopes
centered there.
Manhattan Making Good.
Mr.. Mead Is very enthusiastic over
Manhattan. and states that many Salt
Lakers have property In the district, than
which there is no better. The camp
looks better with each DAYS work, and

the investor throughout the length and
breadth or the lanO DIGS lalr 10 De re-
warded during the coming busy season
Shipments from the district are increas-

as much TO development at present as
they retarded IT short tme ago.
Goldfleld Pegging Away.
Mr Mead states that Goldf1eld is BOOM
Ing as never before. and although neg
lected In the news columns In favor of
the other excitement centers the district
that first opened the eyes OF the world to
the mineral wealth of Nevada Is tho cen
ter of activity and results of that State.
Bullfrog Is likewise forging ahead by
virtue cf It's own merits, the railroads
centerlng there giving the entire region
now life, to which the mines are respond
ing most generously.
Bought Manhattan Ground.
While In Manhattan Mr. Mead succeed
ed in securing a group OF four claims in
the heart of the excitement zone, the
claims being near the Stray Dog group,
about which much Is being said. Asso-
ciated with him in the venture are Harry
Joseph and several Eastern investors. 1t
is expected that this group will become
one OF the most active and remunerative
in tho district, the surface showings be-
ing equal to many Of the best properties
there,
Mr. Mead will return to Goldfield to-
day and he will spend tho best portion Of

RARE METAL FOUND
IN SIERRA MADRE
Southern Pacific Mine Contains

Ideal Fluxing Ore Contributes
Much to Encourage the
Fortunate Owners.

appealed can give any satisfactory cx-
planation OF II. In order 10 solve the
mystery Mr. Burnham has sent some Of
1t TO Denver for final testing.
High Values In Copper.
Some OF the finest looking copper orc
ever brought TO Salt Lake has come from
the Southern Pacific mine, the copper
contents running extraordinarily high. In
many instances "a high ns 20 per cent
In the red metal md 80 in gold. From
Ave and n half ounces Of the ore three
ounces OF copper have been secured. In
the main vein. on which shaft was sunk
for sixty-nve feet all in flne ore, and to
cut which tunnel Is being driven into
the mountain. copper values have shown
an average OF 30 per cent, and free gold
is present to the naked eye.
Large Deposit of Rare Metal.
Rumors have dealt rather generously
with this property and from all indica-
tions the truth alone would suffice to
establish the property In the very front
the large copper and gold values. molyb-
denum is present, and TO determine the
real extent OF this rare metal the COM
pany has forwarded large lot to Den

sition and can be delivered to the smelters
OF Salt Lake for 81 25 a ton. although the
mine Is within three and a quarter miles
OF the new Ogden smelter.
Worked for Seven Years.
Mr. Burnham has worked the mine for
seven years, the property consisting OF
twelve full claims or 2+0 acres. The man

SHOSAOhE HAS NEW
BODY OF SULPH|OES
Property Furnishes More Eyi-
dence of Values Extending
With Great Depth.

The energetic line of development work
inaugurated by the new management of
the great Shoshone mine at Bullfrog has
been productive of results surprising the
expectations of the management new
ore body has been discovered In the main
shaft OF this famous property This main
shaft was sunk on what was considered
the center Of the tale ledge,
In Northern Side of Vein.
The extension OF the crosscut tunnel
which intcrcepts the main shaft, how
ever. has shown that instead of the shaft
point being about the center OF the ledge,
II IL near the northern Side of IT, so wide
has the orc body been shown TO be by the
tunnel running across the vein to the
south. Owing to the dip OF the vein, this
perpendicular shaft leaves II at a depth
OF about 200 feet.
Rich Body of sulphides.
This shaft was being extended to a
point where It was the intention to run
drift for the vein. At depth OF S25
prised to find that the shaft was running
Into rich body of sulphide orc 1t has
not Yet been determined whether this
body is the big ledge or another vein, no
seen heretofore
Will Sure Go Deep.
In any event the strike is considered the
most important since the grent ledge WAS
croSscut last summer by the tunnel. The
pronounced sulphide character of the
ore has satisfied the management that
the newly found body carries It's values
TO great depth. Paintings Of the ore
show those long strings of gold that have
long been characteristic OF the Shoshone
mine,
The management Will sink the main
shaft to tho 50-foot level from which
point the extent of this new vein will be
thoroughly investigated.
