manner indicating that he thought there could be no comparison.
 In regard to the location of the armor belt he said he concurred absolutely in the testimony of Rear Admiral Remey. Later the witness said Admiral Remey expressed his view also in regard to the question of ammunition hoists. He thought the interrupted hoist better than the direct type. It was evident that Admiral Goodrich was seeking to precp itate a controversy. He was asked about the Germany navy in sticking to the 11-inch gun. The admiral said the 12 inch gun was better than the 11-inch, and the 13-inch better than the 12-inch. He was about to leave the stand when Sen ator Tillman called attention to the fact that Commander Sims. a few days ago gave the name Of Admiral Goodrich as one of the men Nho would corroborate him in the declaration that the depart ment would not accept officers criticisms,
 The admiral looked annoyed.
 Have you made reports to the de partment criticising any manner of con- structionss' asked Mir. Tillman. T have" replied the admiral, and an- swering this said he had criticised the location of the armor belt.
 What do you think about it?' asked Mr Tillman.
 Cautious Answer.
 "I think just as Admiral Remey does. l have adopted his expression" said the witness cautiously. Pressed for more definite replies the witness said he thought the armorbelt too low. He thought the water line should approxi- mately divide the armor belt with half above and half below the water line. It was suggested by Chairman Hale that a chance would have to be taken as to the condition of the sea at the time the ship went into action.
 ''The whole naval life, MT. Senator, is a chance" the witness remarked. ' MT. Tilman returned to the charge that officers had been discouraged from mak- ing suggestions or criticisms and de- manded Admiral Goodrich's experience. T have made several suggestions which have not borne fruit. Do you want a specific instance?"
 q want something tangible" replied Mir Tillman.
 Admiral Goodrich said that in 1902 he had recommended the abolition of the military masts with their fighting tops. He said these masts were heavy and he knew of no instance where they were of value. The ships now being designed the admiral said do not have these fight ing tops.
 "Then the suggestion did not fall on barren ground" said Mir Tillman.
 T cannot fiatter myself that my letter had anything to do with the decision to do away with this feature,'' said the admiral
 persisted Mr. Tillman.
 Like the chairman, I have a New England conscience !" responded the ad- miral. 'I cannot take the credit'
 The hearing will be resumed tomorrow at 0:30 a. m.

NEGRO IS WHIPPED

SAM MALONE IS TAKEN FROM ATHENS CITY PRISON, CHASl TIZED, AND ORDERED TO LEAVE GIRLS.

Athens March 9.-(Special.) Sunday afternoon late two little girls. daugh1 ters of prominent citizens here, while passing the home of Sam Malone, col ored which is situated on a prominenI thoroughfare, had their attention direct ed to the residence by a call, and upon looking were astounded to see Sam, whd is a married man about 20 years o age, standing in his door making a spec tace of himself, and at the same timf beckoning the little girls to come t' him. The girls were Il years of age They fled at once to their homes and told of the circumstance and their mother3 informed the fathers and husbands and late Sunday night the father of one oI the girls appeared. at the home of thu Mayor. and had a warrant issued forfth' arrest of the negro on a charge of grosI and disorderly conduct and the city mar shal arrested him at his home and locked him up in the city jail.

He then confessed to the charge, but said thai he was under the influence of brand] and that he did not know what madi him do as he did
 The negro was marched off to the woodi west of Athens, where he was given [; severe whipping and told to shake thi dust of Athens from his feet and neveI to appear here again. He left and I message to his father brings the inforl nation that he has gone for good.
 Sam's father is one of the oldest nel groes of the town and everybody like him. Sam has always been respected and no one would have dreamed of his mis behavior. There was no excitement and the negroes do not seem to condemn thl action of the whites in using this metho} of ridding the community of thei negro.
 At first it was thought that the negrf had been stHung up, but the news Il his father late this afternoon reassurel the people that nothing of a serious nal ture has happened to the negro and tn community feels better since the fac that no life was taken and only a goo example was set for others who migh become dangerous.

UNITED STATES SHELTER
TO TAKE ORE SOON

While il was not possible TO get any
thing official on the subject yesterday il
was stated during the afternoon that the
Colorado company would shortly begin
shipping ore 10 the United States COM
pany smelter at Bingham Junction and
continue to do so until such time as the
Tintic smelter was in need of the prod
uct of that mine.
General Manager George w Heintz of
the United States cOmpany's smelters
and mines in Utah was asked if it was
true that the Colorado was going To ship
and he stated that there had been some
talk on the subject, but nothing definite
had been agreed upon. He admitted that
his company would shortly be ready to
take ore again, so it is possible that a
number of shippers will find a market for
their ores with the United States COM
pany between now and the first of the
month.
II is understood that the American
company is hustling for lead-silver ores
now, the desire being to enlarge opera
lions al the Murray plant which has been
dragging along at about half capacity for
several months past. The Uncle Sam
company is going to send its product TO
the American works. and reliance is
placed on the DAILY West, Silver King and
swell the tonnage materially in the near
future.
Bingham is ready to mine a larger ton
mage OF lead-silver ores than for a long
time past, American Fork will be cutting
loose also in the near future, while Pr
Oche, under half favorable conditions can
supply enough ore TO keep any one of the
big SmeiterS going on its own account.
From the looks of things at the present
moment mines and smelteTs of Utah ought
all to be running full blast within the next
thirty 10 sixty days.

BOSTON COMMENT ON
UTAH COPPER OPERATIONS

The Utah Copper company is now treat
ing 5000 tons of ore per day which Is
averaging l.6 per cent copper, from Whlcn
the recovery is twenty-three pounds OF
copper per ton, says the Boston News Blu
reau.
The management however, claims to
be showing the cheapest mining costs III
the United States or any other country.
its total operating cost is now sos per
ton. including mining, milling, smelling,
freight, selling and administration eN-
penses-
Tho ore deposit of the Utah Copper
company is Of remarkable uniformity. II
averages 199 per cent OF copper Tor the
entire mineral area developed. The ore
body is over 500 feet thick and thousands
of ASSAYS have been taken from the sew
enteen miles of workings with hardly a
variation in the copper contents. The
Seventeen miles of underground workings
have brought into sight 20000,000 tons of
ore and this ore has been developed on
four sides. Drifts and diamond drill
holes however, have indicated double TINS
tonnage, and only seNehty-slX acres out
of two hundred acres controlled by the
company all within the area of Bingham
canyon. have been developed.
Mining operations having but started
upon this vast mountain of pOrphyry ore,
il is natural that in the early steam shovel
operations. the intrusion of the Gaping
should reduce the grade, below the aver
age which accounts for the ore now rug
ming 10 per cent instead of l.S9 per cent
AS operations get deeper, however, II Is
the anticipation of the management that
not only will the grade of the ore improve,
but that they will be able to effect further
economies in cost and secure an increased
output In. fact, the company anticipates
being able to produce between 4WO,UO
and 100000 pounds of copper per month,
with its entire mill in commission, at cost
of not exceeding s cents, whereas present
costs are about So cents.

Mines and Mining Stocks

The shaft, in the meantime. is being con-
tinued on down"
The properties OF the 3Oston and Phoebe
company adjOin the Nevada Utah COM
pany main properties, the Raymond and
Ely and Meadows Valley on the east, in
Guiding the famous Yuba East lode claim.
Looking west from this property the Ne
Vada-O tab company covers the famous
pOrphyry dyke, in which the big mines
were made. for a distance of 5000 feet.
In the opposite direction the Boston and
Phoebe ground takes in the same famous
dyke, with its Ore-bearing assures, Tor
a distance of $500 feet, and President
Miller is sanguine that his company pos
sessions viii become just as famous for
production of rich ore as were the prop
critics of the Nevada L tab company in the
early days. The Yuba East ledge was
opened through an old tunnel run from
NeVada-Ctah ground and the SHAFT now
being sunk to depth was put down to
connect with the ore bodies and TO allow
of mining being done without being under
obligation TO the neighbOrs for dump room
and mining facilities. Earl r. Pembroke
of this city is mines manager FOR the
Boston and Phoebe company and President
Miller speaks highly of his ability.
The best evidence OF what Is being
done in the Phoebe region just now, SAID
Mr.. Miller, lis the fact that machinery Is
being received BY the carload and dis
tributed throughout the districts tributary
TO the Piocne camp. IL is daily sight To
see teams pulling out OF the depot with
hosting machinery, cOmpreSsorS ana Otnef
equipment and this means that the oper-
ating companies are miniPg and bringing
the district out without any attempt az
booming. Three or four big mines are
now being made along the same great
iFOn-manganese lode that has developed
world of ore in the Prince Consolidated
and which extends from that property al
most into the town of Phoebe.
THE NeVada-Utah company is now CIV
ing particular attention to its Day mines,
prFf ar
growing bigger and better every day.

TETRO OPENING
ORE At DEPTH
Drift From Shaft $50 Feet Be-
low Tunnel Level Is
Showing Up Well.

In drift that is reaching out in the
direction of the middle of its propertv
from the new shaft comes word from the
retro at Tintic that some good ore is
being encountered and that the prospects
seem good for finding a body of it. The
news brought TO town yesterday morning
was tnat great strike had been made.
put Secretary WINNER states that the
ieuse Is as yet only showing shipping ore
IN punches and not in such quantity but
mat II would be a slow job to sort ii for
the shipping grade. He states that the
ground is looking very encouraging. how
ever and the hope is expressed that A
good body of shipping rock will make its
appearance before long.
The drift in which this ore is found is
approximately $50 feet deeper than the
old tunnel level in the ground. and should
a good body of ore be developed there
II would mean something 10 the mine
The shaft was sunk below the water level
during the Ernest Williams regime but
no attempt at development was made be
cause OF the cost that pumping would
nave entailed, A drift was started above
the water level and il is i'm this drift
that the showing mentioned has been
made. Interesting ground has been
reached and the work of the next few
days and weeks will be watched with the
