BARTLETT CREEK
LIVE CAMP.
z. F. STAPLES. INTERESTED
IN THAT CAMP, ARRIVES
Rejuvenated Old Camp Of verryville
is Situated Across the Black Rock
Desert from Jackson

f. +. Staples, who is interested in
claims in Bartlett Creek, arrived yes
terday from that camp on his way to
Oakland to attend to various business
matters. Bartlett Creek, which is
known to old-timers in this section as
verryville, is spring'ng into promi-
nence and will soon be producing rich
ore. A new mill is to be erected and
mining operations carried on on an ex-
tensive scale.
Mr.. Staples has with him some sam
pies Of ore from the district which
show the native copper n abundance.
The ore of the district is gold asso-
ciated with copper. Some RI N,rkable
assays have been obtained.
In earlier days Bartlett Creek or
verryville, as it was then known, was
large producer and three quartz mills
situated there attest to the activity
once carr ed on. New men and new
strikes have again brought the old
district to the front and it appears
that boom of no small proportions
will soon strike that camp.

The residents Of all the lower lands

 article in Appleton's magazine. "that
 the Dreadnought's broadside develops
 force equal to the lifting Of an entire city block composed exclusively of
 twenty-story skyscrapers! Little wonder that the uncouth monster skidded sideways under the recoil like an automobile on a muddy road. It is little wonder that France has laid down six Dreadnoughts to be com- pleted within the next two years. and Germany quickly followed; with Ja. pan and ourselves equally anxious? Our reply to the Dreadnought is q projected ship of 20.0O0 tons with perhaps twelve 12-inch guns mounted in double turrets. The latest develop ments are turbine torpedoes with d range 1000 yards and a speed of thRty-five knots. They cost about $5.0oO each, and are actually con- trolled by the boat they leave by means of electric light rays received on tiny shaft projecting from the torpedo as it tears through the water. Thus the automatic missile is under control, and may be brought back at any moment"

Among the measures which suffer- ed at the last session of congress was the excellent bill of MT Foraker to punish the practice of keeping train-
 hands so long on duty as to endanger the lives of the public by the inability to keep awake. In view of the many railroad disasters of this winter, one might have expected congress to give heed to the abuses which have caused so many of these. But Mir Foraker is not friend of the administration, and the passage of a popular meas- ure he had proposed might have been politically dangerous. So we had the peculiar spectacle of the secretary of the interstate commerce commits sion appearing before a congressional committee to plead for the railroads in the matter of a dangerous abuse in railroad management: and the committee adopted his suggestion.

A common attendant of prosperous umes IS now evident in Great Britain, In a state of unrest among trades ,un Ion classes. Advanced wages or shorter hours are demanded in many trades-ln some cases with success, in others without. The refusals have been followed by actual or threatened strikes, as in shipyards, and several mining districts. Workmen are en- boldened by the unusual demand for labor during this season of prosperity, to demand far more than they receiy- ed in the preceding dull years; aud it IS feared that strikes disastrous to trade generally will result.

It seems that he packed balloon in a grip, left here for Montreal in an entirely unos- tentatious manner and, lest pesky re- porters should divulge his purpose. hied himself to a spot ten miles out of Montreal and there made the ascen- sion.
