RYHOLITE, New, June 2.-Los An
geles and Salt Lake interestsSare back
ing Rhyolite and the Clark railroad in
the battle to make the Bonnie Claire
subdivision tributary to Rhyolite as
this will insure shipments of supplies
from Los Angeles and the Mormon city
Goldfield also is bidding for the trade
of this district for San Francisco, but IT
progress.
The Brock road, which runs south
past the Bonnie Claire mine and
through the Mayf1ower territory, con-
meets with the Clark line at Beatty, and
it is through this road that Los Angeles
and Salt Lakers are desirous of making
their shipments.
That the district is coming to the
front cannot be doubted. A flood OF
Wisconsin capital has been pouring into
the district upon the delivery of proof
that the large ore bodies now uncovered
can be milled and concentrated under a
new dry process. Surface values
throughout that end of the Bullfrog dis
tricts show values as high as $50 tc
the ton.
Effect of Excursion Trip
The excursion of Los Angeles bust
ness men through the country has done
much to center the interest Of the new
district toward the south, and the Sar
Carlos Mining and Milling company now
is waiting the reports from samples tina,
have been sent to Los Angeles by Pres
ident C. c. Crowley. Experiments are
being made In Los Angeles along the
lines of the new process, and as soon as
they are completed the mill machinery
will be ordered.
The Los Angeles business men now ir
Nevada have been looking into the dis.
trict, and the reports made by the ole
residents of the district show that the
country in the neighborhood of Bonnie
Claire is one of the oldest in the state

RICH GULCH WONDER
SHOWS $500 GOLD ORE

WONDER, New, June 2.-Superinten-
dent Burt reports assays as high as
$5O2O5 per ton from samples taken of
vein matter in the Rich Gulch ledge,
just opened up on the No. l tunnel.
Simon Keane & Co. of Wonder, the as
sayers and chemists, ran the rock
through their furnace and furnish the
assay certificates. Mr. Burt says 1t Is
too early to take an average sample
of the ore in the tunnel and this will
not be done until the hanging wall is
reached. The sample obtained is from
a mass of clay tale, within few feet
of the foot wall.

BID Strike at skidoo

Apparently one of the biggest things
yet reported from Skidoo came in this
morning by telephone. Four feet OF
$2500 ore has been uncovered in the
Cocopah property, which adjoins the
Skidoo itself. The ore body is the
largest for that grade of ore yet found
in the district. The Cocopah tunned, IN
which the find was made, is in 200 feet
Presumably it has crosscut the ore body
for which it was driven. The people OF
Skidoo generally treat this as their first
big discovery, and they are very en-
thusiastic. Bob Montgomery and asso-
ciates are the owners of the Cocopah

The crows that live along the sea
shore live on SEA food. At times they
show a CULTS dexterity In picking eat

taxed by the hard shells Of CLANS.
which they can neither pry into nor
break with their bills Like some gulls,
the bright crow will seize a clam and
fly to a great height and drop 1t on
ledge of rock. That breaks the shell,
and the crow gets tho meat Near

The hogs crush the shells Of clans and

OLD SAILORS PASSING.

from California state that an effort
is being made by the Califorx.a sea-
men to secure a state training ship
for San Francisco. The naval train
ing station for boys at Goat island
fails to meet the requirements of the
merchant service, according to most
captains, as the boys are trained for
naval work, which practically units
them for the merchant service.
In the American merchant marine
to-day there are comparatively few
American sailors. Most of the seamen
are recruited from English, German
and French sailing ships that come to
the American ports. By reason of the
large wages paid in American ships,
and especially in the coasting trade.
the men are able to make from two to
three times as much as in the ships
of their own nationality.
Among sailors the American ships
are known as supplying the best food.
while the English ships are commonly
known as hungry limejuicers."
Another point advanced in favor of
the school ship is that it would have
a tendency to increase the number of
American sailors and officers.

YOUNGER GENERATION OF MARl-
NERS DEPLORE FACT.
6tate That Steamer Made Seamen"
Lack in Nautical knowledge
and Are Not Equipped
as Officers.

Seattle, Wash.-With the passing
of the sailing vessel, which is giving
place to the modern fast steamer the
old-time sailor is becoming merely a
memory The change is more notice
able in the officers of vessels than in
the sailors. Many of the old captains,
however, deplore the undermining of
the sailor and officer. The modern
sailor is little more than steyedore,
while the mates are scarcely more
than chief stevedores, according to
many of the old-time shippers. This
has been brought about by the short
runs of the coasting vessels and the
fact that the mates chief duty is to
superintend the loading and unloading
If cargo. On the short coasting runs
navigation is done almost entirely by
what is known as dead reckoning.
This is accomplished by the log, the
compass and local knowledge of the
waters. The ships are seldom out of
sight of land and the earlier knowl-
edge of navigation gained by the Off
GERS before they apply for their papers
is, in many cases, practically forgot
ten. The handling of cargo becomes
the chief work of the officers, with the
exception of the captain, and even he
seldom makes use of his knowledge of
navigation, aside from that of dead
reckoning.
In the old school of ships one of the
first things the officer was taught was
seamanship; secondly, navigation, and
at the present day some of the most
successful captains are those who ac-
quired their knowledge in the old-time
vessels.
Seamanship is so seldom used in
che modern vessels that it is looked
upon more as a hindrance than an
aid. The training of cadets on many
Of the larger steamships makes steam
ship officers of them, and they enter
upon their officers duties with only
book knowledge of steamanship in
sailing vessels.
The state training ship, according
to the old salts. gives youthful aspir-
ants to a sea life a practical knowl-
edge of seamanship, and for this rea-
son most of the old sailors are stanch
advocates of nautical school for
boys. The plan has been worked out
successfully in the east, and reports
