Youns's Bay VIII Be Dredsed and
Transport Docks VIII
Be Built.
ACTIVE WORK SOON TO START
Barracks For Marines and Rife Range
Included In Plans -- Mouth Of
Columbia Recognized 40 I'm.
portant by Government.

To make one OF the greatest army
and naval stations In the United States
at the mouth Of the Columbia River is
one Of the plans made by the Govern
ment that win be carried out just as
soon as the cxtrme low water mark on
The bar Ia aS feet. The fact that Japan
IL nearly 700 miles nearer 10 the mouth
Of the Columbia River than II Ii to San
Francisco il the chief reason that the
government Ia anxious 10 have its new
base completed as quickly AZ possible.
The news has just leaked out that
the old surveys made at foung's Bay
BY the War Department several years
ago are being carefully examined by
naval engineers. The two departments
are working in harmony In this matter,
as great army post Il to be built
near the proposed naval station. Per
manent quarters for several thousand
troops and camping grounds for 10000
soldiers are TO be made; docks are to be
constructed that will permit the landing
of transports.
The bay Is to DO dredged 80 that the
whole Pacific and Asiatic squadron can
anchor there, along with any additional
fleet that may be sent from the Atlantic
Coast, The plans arc TO keep ut least
one battleship at this station continual
ly, TO build extra large barracks for
marines. and TO establish the best rifle
range for small arms practice on the
coast. Ships gunners are to be trained
In shooting at floating targets placed
out Of sight across from Tillamook Head.
Visible targets will also be used.
There Is plenty Of room at the wide
mouth Of the Columbia for the torpedo
boat and gunboat fleets to maneuveri
the ocean Is but an hour away, so that
battleships and armoured cruisers could
put to sea on very short notice.
This new defense is aimed to protect
The Northwest from any possible foe
that might seek to gain foothold on
the Columbia River from either China or
Japan. The Young's Bay station can be
reached both by land and sea; the docks
are to be 80 built that trains can run
alongside the transports and the troops
march direct from the cars to the decks
Warships are much nearer the ocean
than If they were stationed at Bremen
ton, which Is too far from rail transpor.
tation.
For years the forts at the mouth Of
the Columbia have been strengthened
until now it ia said that 1t would be i'm.
possible for any enemy's feet to try to
run them.
The recent visit of the Pacific squad.
ron to Astoria caused the Navy De.
partment to take renewed interest in
the proposed Young's Bay station, and
a new survey has been ordered.

THE FL TIGRE.

Word from the Fl Tigre mine is to the effect that work is progressing we'll in all the departments. The mill is turning out concentrates regular ly. and the high grade ore is being mined and shipped to Fl Paso. Pres ident Sooy, who returned from the property yesterday, after a visit there of several weeks, left for his home in Kansas City last night. At the Roy hotel yesterday MT. SOOy was much of the time in consultation with Rob- ert Musgrave. a prominent mining man of BiSbee. and it is reported that he is to be made the superintendent of the Fl Tigre mine. It is not known the exact number of men employed by the Tigre company, but it is con siderably more than one hundred. The property is already we'll developed and but little dead work is now being done.

MONTE VIsTo COUNTRY.

Chas. Hansen, superintendent of the Monte Visto mine, and Tim Taft are in the city from that section. Both agree in the statement that development work in that district is making excel lent progress and bringing satisfactory results. At the Monte Visto the work ing force is about thirty men. and the character of the development work is now drifting. This mine is regarded as one of the most promising in the DougIas-Sonora field, and those who are financing it are all jubilant over the future outlook of the property.
 Lille Brothers are working eight or ten men on the Hidden Treasure prop erty, which is owned by the managers and several Douglas parties. The Hid den Treasure is near the Monte Visto, and it is expected that it will develop into a valuable mine.
 The Elizabeth mine is ar extension of the Monte Visto property and is owned by Henry Loeven and his as. sociates of this city. No considerable work has yet been done on the Eliza beth, but the surface croppings are all that could be desired. A few men are now at work and extensive opera. tions are planned on the Elizabeth for the near future.

A NEW SHELTER FOR JEROME
 DISTRICT
Discovery of Large Body of Rich Sulphide Made in
 Copper Chief,

The discovery of large body of rich sulphide ore in the Copper Chief con- tinues to attract great deal of at- tention in local mining circles. The Copper Chief is located on Equator
 Hill, and is an extension of the Equator, the property of Senator Clark. From the workings of the Equator property, which are located on the claim lying along the east line of the Copper Chief, a great deal of ore has been taken out and reduced at smelter on the ground, but scarcity of sulphides which are necessary in the reduction of the other ores, com pelled the shutting down of the smell ter until sulphides could be developed. This work the Equator company pro- posed to do with diamond drills. and at one time had almost completed ar engagements to proceed with the work, but for some reason or other the men were called of, and for a number of months operations have been suspend ed. but now that it has been proven that there are large bodies of good grade sulphides in Equator Hill. it is more than likely that the Equator people will do some prospecting. This discovery of sulphides on Copper N'h4Nl. HUI CGiSSS NLC heluC LII NldI pIOp- erty very much. The Manhattan Se- curities company is making headway on the Owen-Allison claims with the diamond drill, having attained a depth of 9 feet with only few days work. and also casing to that depth. So far the formation has held the splen- did indications for mineral as are shown on the surface. At the Harry housen, which is also being develop ed by the Manhattan Securities com pany, the work of putting in casing. made necessary by caves, has pro gressed to a depth of about 200 feet. a point which carries it past the hard rock, and 1t is now thought that the
 work will move along rapidly for the next 100 feet, to the bottom of the hole. when prospecting will be pro ceeded with. The caves in this dia
 mond drill hole came when the work had reached a most interesting point.
 A letter from MT. Leeper, who is now east promoting the Royal Irish group, says that he has been very sue cesSful in promoting this promising property, and that he will be back in Jerome in a very short time when de velopment work will be started. The Royal Irish is one of the northwest extensions of the United Verde mine. and a close neighbor to the North Verde.
