TORPEDO fLOTILLA
ARRIVES At panama
VESSELS DROP ANCHOR I'M HAIR.
Dor TWO DAYS AHEAD
OF TIME.
VOYAGE FROM cALLAo
WAS MOST SUCCESSFUL
Preparations Being Made for Enter
tainment Of the officers-cruiser
Buffalo Leaves MasdaIena Bay for
San Diego.

Panama, Mar. 16.-The American
torpedo boat fiotilla, under the com
mand of Lieut.. Hutch l. Cone, which
left Callao March 9, arrived here unex-
pectedly Saturday morning and an
chored in the harbor.
According to the itinerary the YES
sells were expected Monday, so they
are consequently two days ahead of
time. The voyage up from Callao
was most successful. The weather
was pleasant and the fotilla expe-
rienced no delays. The boats are in
good condition and all on board are
well.
+ Many preparations are being made
here for the entertainment of the
fotilla's officers. 1t is expected that
the vessels will remain here until
March 81, when they are scheduled to
sail for Acapulco, Mexico.
Buffalo Leaves Magdalena Bay.
San Diego, Cal, Mar. 16.-Wireless
messages Saturday morning from
Magdalena bay state that the cruiser
Buffalo, which was practically the only
United States vessel at the bay when
the battleship feet arrived, has sailed
from there, and will probably be in San
Diego Tuesday. The Buffalo is in
command of Capt. Charles Pond and
1t was understood that she would re-
main in Magdalena for the purpose of
hauling targets for the fleet practice.
This work will have to be done by the
navy tug Fortune. The reason for
the trip of the Buffalo is not made an.
parent by the dispatch.
The wireless station here was busy
all Friday night with official and fleet
messages, all of the former being in
cipher, and very little Of the latter
containing news other than that which
has already been made public.
Navy Critic Arrives.
Henry 7. Reutendahl, the we'll
known correspondent whose criticism
of the construction of the battleships
OF the United States navy has created
such storm of discussion and inyesti.
cation, was on board the Culgoa as a
passenger for Callao. Mr.. Reutendahl
left Hampton Roads with the fleet on
Its long cruise, having obtained special
permission from the navy department
to do so. He remained in the city
only few hours and left for the
north. 1t is understood he will attend
the investigation in Washington.
Germans Praise for Fleet Cruise.
Berlin, Mar. 16.-The German naval
critics are commenting upon the won
derful feat of seamanship displayed In
the 13,000-mile voyage of the American
battleship fleet and the arrival at
Magdalena bay two days ahead of
Its schedule without a ship being dis
abled. They consider it proof of ex-
cellent material as well as of per-
sonnet.

nounced that inasmuch as he was to
retire from the head of the organiza-
ton April l he did not feel justified
in making any recommendations as to
the future policy of the miners. He
suggested that all matters of policy
and future course of action be referred
to the scale committee. Vice-Presi-
dent T. L. Lewis moved that this action
be taken and the motion prevailed. Four
vacancies on the scale committee Sc
lected at the previous convention
caused by absentees were filed, and
President Mitchell, Vice President
Lewis and Secretary Wilson were
added to 1t. The convention adjourned
to meet Friday morning. In the mean

up consideration of the situation and
will begin the work of formulating a
report to be made to the convention.

aged farmers, can prove, in a case
wherein a widow lady-and pretty
blamed middlin' good-lool1ing widow
lady, at that-sues for the value of a
calf that was run over and killed by
the train, right dab in the middle Of
the town at high noon, with half the
population beholding the slaughter;
that the calf did not stop, look and
listen, as warned by the sign at the
crossing; that the engine did not hit
the animal at all, except nominally;
that the calf really died, If at all, Of
some obscure Latin calf-disease or
other; that the company, by it's faith
full servant, the engineer, did an act
of pure philanthropy in killing the
calf, as, instead Of being valuable
possession in the hands of the widow,
as alleged, 1t was really an incubus, in
that it was engaged in eating its fair
mistress out Of house and home; and,
lastly, that the fair plaintiff, herself,
despite her tears, had once been a

Many who have succeeded upon the

to become the model town citizens

the town has to offer they are adverse
to doing that which means its i'm.

sufficient on the farm SO that they can
cease work. 1t may be their priv.

poor and lowly spirit when they fail
to give the town which they select as
a home place the support it should
have from one Of its citizens.

AUTOMOBILES FOR THE FARM,
TilIers Of the Soil to Be on Equality
with People Of Towns.

-
One of the large companies en-,
gagged in the manufacturing of farm
machinery proposes placing on the
market at an early date an automobile
especially designed for farm use. This
machine will be sold at reasonable
price, and will be put out in various
styles ranging from runabout to a
heavy farm truck. which the farmer
can use In transporting his grain and
other produce to the markets.
Transportation of farm produce to
the railroad stations and the markets
is a question of economy. 1t is esti.
mated that at the present time it
costs the farmer about nine cents per
hundred pounds to carry his grain a
distance of IL miles to the railroad
station or market place. 1t is ex-
pected that the installation of auto
mobiles for hauling purposes will de.
crease the expense to three or four
cents per hundred pounds. The COM
ing OF the farm automobile means fur
Their improvement of roads. Already
the automobile and the rural deliv-
cry of mail has worked wonders in
the way of stimulating interest in
road improvement. Once the farmers
become automobile users they will
be more energetic workers, in fact,
enthusiasts for high-class highways.
Another use of the automobile in
agricultural districts is It's employ
ment by merchants for delivering
goods to patrons in the country. In
a number of eastern states enterpris-
Ing merchants send out their clerks
with automobiles in the morning to
solicit the orders of the people resid-
ing on the nearby farms, and use the
automobile for delivering goods in the
afternoon. Merchants who have
adopted this plan have found it prof
table and their business greatly in
creased, not considering the adver-

and scattered over the country by the
influence of the erosion of the ages.
One of the best indications of the
original topography, showing the
presence of the primaries in place
may be seen in the hill near Rawhide
known as Roseberry Hill. Here al
though erosion has partly denuded
the upper slopes, there still remains
a distinct Gaping of primaries while
sloping a talus or apron gradually
approaches the level where the sec
ondaries remain on the surface. With
this exception at the top of Roseberry
Hill the primaries have long since
been entirely eroded away leaving
the high grade in the secondary for
nation practically exposed on the
surface. This accounts for the won
derful richness of the finds.
Now as to the depth which may
be expected. In the first place the
auriferous deposits have come up
from below in the hot currents The
mass has bubbled out and cracked
the porphyry. leaving streaks like a
dried-up mud puddle. In addition to
the gold, however, there is a great
deposit of tellurium which has been
found scattered down in the wash.
Now the history of the mines in
Cripple Creek. California, and every
other place, practically, where tellur-
ium has been found in conjunction
with gold shows that depths of from
1900 to 1900 have been worked with
profit If the mines at Rawhide do
not pay and pay well down to 1900
feet they will prove the first excep-
ton to the accepted rule based upon
the presence adiacence of gold and
tellurium.
