Newport News. June l1.--Clad in
full naval uniforms and with face aud

OF Midshipmen L. II. Field, OF Virrinin
class OF 1906; w. H. Stevenson. North
Carolina, class 1906. and +. T.. Hol-
comb. OF Delaware, class 1907. we're
found in Chesapeake Bay today. The
bodies, after being examined and iden-
tilted. were taken by the naval tug
Potomac 10 the naval hospital at
Portsmouth.
h morning a fisherman off Ocean
View discovered a floating BODY OF A
midshipman and turned il over TO one
of the numerous launches which had
been securing the bay ever since Capt.
Mann, Of the Norfolk and washington.
steamer Washington reported 10 Ad-
miral Emory that he had sighted a
corpse off the Thimble Shoal lightship.
h body was mangled n bruised
and the face and hands had nearly
been eaten away, but II was identified
as that of Midshipman Holcomb by the
clothing and a watch. IL was put
aboard the tug Potomac, which with
the tug Reno. was also searching in
the bay.
Several hours later the Potomac
picked up the bodies OF Midshipmer
Stevenson and Field. These did not
seem to be bruised but the faces and
hands were considerably disfgired.
The Potomac steamed to Hampton
Roads and went alongside the flagship
the battleshiD Ohio. TO make a rep ort
to Admiral Emory. Then the bodies
were taken to the battleship Minnesota
for identification. A board OF sur
geons examined them, then the corpses
were placed in metal caskets aDk pat
aboard the Potomac to be taken ~
Norfolk.
Tomorrow all Of the vessels OF the
fleet will have their flags at half mast
The bodies of four OF the eleven men
drowned in the Minnesota's launch
a week & tonight have now been
found. The one discovered in the
launch was that OF a fireman. G. w.
Westfall. The bodies of three mid
shipmen and our seamen are still
missing, and launches and tugs are
still searchin: the lower bay and
roads for them.
On account of the fact that the
bodies found today had fioated ten or
| twelve miles from the scene OF the
tragedy gives rise to a fear that all OF
them will never be found. Others may
be picked VI in the bay, but the body
of Midshipman Holcomb was drifting
rapidly seward when ii was found
and some of the others may have been
carried past the capes into the Atlantic
ocean ere this. The Identification or
| the corpses was confirmed on board the
Minnesota.

DEATH OF ERWIN BRUST.
Sen Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. Brust
DieS-A Short Life.

Erwin Adam Brust, the sixteen
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. A.
Brust, died at the family home on
Hall street in this city last Friday
evening. An attack of heart fail
ure brought on by q siege of
quinsy was the cause of his death.
He had been i'll with the latter dis
ease for some days and was
thought to be gradually improving
Friday. In the evening he
stepped out into the cold night air
and, it is thought, became chilled.
A few minutes later his heart
ceased beating and the end came.
Erwin Brust was born in Carol,
Iowa, July B, 1890. His short
life was spent mostly in school
work-preparing to be of worth
among his fellow-men. He was
an apt scholar, always studious
and ambitious. His death has
caused grief to all his acquaint-
ances. The funeral services were
held from the home Sunday after
noon, 9 large number of sorrowing
friends attending.

A PROFITABLE BUSINESS.
Hogs Money Makers for the
RanCher.

NJ. III. Baulch, who ranches
near Grangeville, was . county
seat visitor the last Of the week.
Mr.. Baulch, who is a native Of
Arkansas, recently returned from
. visit to his old home, and while
he says there are many opportuni-
ties for money making down in
that state he prefers the West.
He is very enthusiastic over the
money that is to be made in hogs
on Camas prairie and asks where
there is another section where
cholera is unknown and conditions
are 30 advantageous to the raising
OF hogs. He is . man who keeps
track Of every little detail of the
business and his remarks regard.
ing the profits TO be made may
therefore be relied upon. He is
feeding 141 head at the present
time and estimates that at Sc. 90 q
hundred he will net easily 70 cents
. bushel for his wheat used in
fattening. As to the breed of hogs
best adopted to this country he
prefers the POLAND China for the
reason that they can stand the
long drives necessary to get them
TO market.

Hillside Claim.
In private correspondence with
the Free Press the vice-president Of
the Northwest Exploitation Co., of
Boston, Mass, owners Of the Hill
Side claim near Dixie, states that
AZ soon as the season permits work
on the equipment Of the claim will
commence. He also states that
other good mining properties will
be developed aud that his company
will make speciality Of Idaho min
ersl properties. This company has
~ its officers some of the leading
mining men Of the west and has an
authorized capital Of IS, 900, 900.
Outside Opinion.
The following clipping from the
Denver Mining Reporter shows how
they consider the mining prospects
Of this county:
From an announcement made in
the state press we conclude that
Idaho will this year experience it's
banner twelve months period Of
mining. In the older camps, such
as the Wood River, Silver City,
Idaho City, Custer and the Occur
dAlene regions, the work insugur-
ated or contemplated is indicative
Of an unprecedented year of pros
perity. In the Seven Devils region
Of Washington county, at points
tributary to the Snake river in
Idaho and Nee Perez counties, in
the Thunder Mountain and Stanley
Basin sections, AZ we'll as in the
vicinity Of Pend d'Oreille river and
Pend d'Oreille lake, there is much
development planned for as soon
AZ the snow disappears and travel
is possible.
Moose Creek Placers.
G. A. Parsons, manager of the
Moose Greek Placer Mining Co. :,
who has been spending the winter
In Grangeville, will leave the last
Of the week for the company's
claims, which are located near
Newsome, to take charge Of the
coming seasons work. The gravel
banks Of this property are among
the deepest in the state of Idaho.
A number OF eastern capitalists
have taken over the property and
intend spending all the money nec-
essary for equipment and improve
ment. Some fourteen men are en-
|pl0yed at the present time.
1t might not be amiss to mention
that Mr.. Parsons, the manager,
will be greatly missed in Grange
vile for he has been very active in
his efforts to accomplish things
beneficial to the city. Men of Par
sons stamp are what any town
needs and the sort who make cities.
Ambitious and public spirited men
who have faith in their town and
whose every effort is for it's better
ment, are the kind. These timid
scowlers are q menace.
