con was given at Shiba Palace and
the admiral, accompanied by his
aides, walked from the palace to the

When the train moved out OF the
station there was constant din, the
cheering of the people mingling with
the blare of three brass bands. The
route TO Yokohama was lined with
school children singing and waving
flags. The same scenes were con-
tinued in Yokohama along the route
of the Americans to the wharf, where
launch of the flagship Connections
awaited the rear admirals and the
cheers continued until they reached
their ship.

GOLD FOUND NEAR MINor.

Rich Ore 10 Located In Paying ouaa-
Titles on Ward County Farm.
From the assay received by Chris
6andland, prominent Minot contract
or, there seems to be absolutely NO
question but that there is gold orc
In large quantities in the vicinity Of
Minot.
Mr.. Sandland's farm is located
about twenty-five miles northwest Of
Minot, and while boring on his farm
came across rock in considerable
quantities which contains soft yell
lowish mstal. Mr.. Sandland sent q
sample Of the rock to Thomas Buggy's
assay Office in Butte, Mont, and Mr..
Buggy, who made a personal assay Of
the ore. has returned a statement re-
port showing that the rock contains
both silver and gold.
Mr.. Sandland's farm is located eight
miles north Of Cayrio and is in town
ship 1853, range S., section 30. His
two brothers also have claims adjOin-
ing his. All claims contain the ore In
considerable quantities, and three
miles further down the draw the ore
bearing rock is in such large quanti-
ties that compsases fail absolutely in
their purpose. thus showing the pres
ence of metal in large quantities.
The expert assayist in his report al
SO gives Mr.. Sandland considerable in.
formation as to the different methods
of prospecting, and informs him of the
easiest way to distinguish the metal.
Your rock is a calcareous shale, .

RESCUED FROM Sharks.
Narrow Escape Of Filipino saiiore
From q Wrecked Vessel.

Narrow Escape Of Filipino saliorD
From a Wrecked Vessel.
Capt. Carlos Krebbs, commander Of
the steamship Dalupaon, reports that
last Sunday afternoon about 8 o'clock,
while en- route from Turela to Iligan,
the'ship sighted four Filipinos cling
ing to submerged banca surrounded
by q special school Of sharks, which,
even after the vessel had come along.
side, persisted in lowering about the
banca.
The four men upon being picked up
related terrible tale of suffering and
agony. They stated that they had left
Basoc, Negros, bound for Barili, Cebu,
and that on Saturday they ran into
heavy weather which caused the
banca to FIJI, sinking to the waters
edge and washing away their food and
drink.
Shortly after that the weather
cleared, leaving these poor mariners
under the glare of tropical sun. Then
the sharks appeared and to the agony
of thirst and pangs of hunger was
added the terrific fate of becoming a
morsel for sharks tooth.
They had despaired of relief and
every vestige Of hope was gone when
they sighted the Dalupaon.

KILLS A eRAMpvs in WEIR.
Fishing Boat Grow Has Hard Fight 10
0ubduo the Creature.

T'sn'no ooaS Grew Has Hard Fight %
eubdus the Creature.
When the Bla.chford weir crew
went on to their harbor trap to-day
they found an eighteen foot grampus
In the netting.
Having but limited room the creature
could not exert its strength to the
best advantage, but it made things
lively for Its assailants for the ensu.
ing half hour. The fishermen's
weapons were an ak and a big hook,
and with these they engaged in com.
bat.
The hook was thrust into the head
of the grampus. At once the cetacean
put up vigorous protest. If it could
have turned its head downward it
would have quickly torn loose from
the fishermen and probably have
forced its way out through the weir,
but the rope fastened at one end to the
hook and at the other to the boat pre-.
vented this.
The fear and fury of the creature
were confined to terrific thrashings of
Its flukes and plunsing of its body.
Once the grampus reared aloft threat.
ening to tumble bodily into the boat.
but 1t fell to one side, simply delug.
ing the craft and its occupants. Hold.
ing hard to the hook rope, Blatchford,
Baker. Raymond and Freeman used
the ak with vigor, directing their
efforts to the crushing of the thick
skull. Again and again the ak swung
with all the strength of the wielder,
descended and at last the great sea
animal turned upon its side dead.
David G. Stult bought the grampus
and had it lowed tc his shore front.
