DISCONTENT IN HAITI. Intervention By United States May Be
 Final Step.

Port au Prince, April S.-There Is rcason to believe that measures are now being taken in this city to force the intervention of the United States if possible. At the moment, apparent tranquility prevails but there Is good authority for the statement that hostil- ity against the present Haytien govern ment is growing more intense. It Is Jumored, and the rumor is a very general one. that those who are op- rosed to the present government, in ciuding the better classes of Haytiens. contemplate a movement which will tring matters to a crisis within very short time.

AMERICAN BOYS
 AHEAD OF BRITISH

London, April S.-Sir William Henry Preece former president of the institution read before the Royal Society of Arts tonight on Technical Education in America said 1t would be difficult if not impossible, to make a just compari- son of the methods of technical educa- tion in England and America conditions being totally different. The American boy he said, possesses the energy and smartness of a new race, and the English boy mentally is two years behind him. This would account for the differences in curricula and papers set for examina- tiOnS.

 After the regular chapel services this morning President Nell made a short talk, stating that though he was sorry for the boys dismissed yet discipline had to be preserved. The order of dis missal provided for the dismissal from the college of 43 members of the prepara- tory class, 132 members of the freshman class and S2 members of the sophomore class.
 The faculty will be compelled to revise the classes now. Many sections in the freshmen and sophomore classes were al- most entirely wiped out.

ADMIRAL EVANS SHOWS
 LITTLE IMPROVEMENT

from all acute pain as a result of the treatment at the springs, it is apparent that he Is still in a very weak condition and that recovery will be matter of many weeks. The second day after his arrival here he was taken for a two hours drive. Since then he has not left his wheel chair. It is also said that his baths have been reduced because of his weak condition. Dr. McDonnold, how ever, refused to confirm this. Asked if Admiral Esans was suffering from any organic disease which was tending to make his recovery slow, Dr. McDonnold was non-committal and declared that he thought the admiral had done very well since his arrival here.

Later in the day, however, he re- covered his spirits and apparently felt much better. Surgeon P. E. McDonnod stated tonight that the admiral had had a very good day.
 Despite the assertions of Dr. McDonnold that Admiral Evans Is gaining strength rapidly, the impression Is gaining ground around the hotel that he is fighting the hardest battle of his life. While relieved

trol the time at, which the vote upon ms own bill should be reconsidered. In sup port, he said, of the precedent of senate rial courtesy he would give Senator Az new his vote. This action saved the pilis from utter destruction and made possi- ble another contest. Under the rules or the senate the presiding officer has the deciding vote in case of tie upon all purely parliamentary questions. He mas no vote upon the direct question of the subject of the bills. For this reason he could not have broken the tie by which the bills were defeated.
 There is an incidental question, techni- cal but important, whether in the case of one of the bills the procedure has not left Senator Agnew with only three days in which to move reconsideration The par liamentarians were earnestly discussing this tonight.
 Whether Governor Hughes will call an extra session to begin perhaps immediate ly upon the adjournment of the regular session to begin consideration of this and perhaps other matters, Is the subject of speculation tonight. Not syllable can be obtained from the executive chamber on that aspect of the question.

Sinking is being continued at the
Miner lease, and lateral exploration will
be started in a short time.
Ladd Mountain
Stewart, Lyle & Mcvicar have
tapped the lead on their Bullfrog Min
ing lease and they have a high grade
streak which will yield returns as high
as $500 to the ton in gold. The shoot
carries a width of about six inches. and
il is very rich. The entire vein shows
a milling content. The ~lessees have be-
gun sacking their ore for shipment.
The mill rock from the B~acigalpi-
Logland lease on the National Bank
averages $44.57, according to samples
made before the material was treated
at the Sparkling mill. Within the past
few days eight tons have been treated
at the mill, and this is the average of
the ore. No returns from the shipment
of high grade from this lease recently
made have been received, but it is be-
lieved that the rock will yield in the
vicinity of 5000 a ton.
The ~lessees are working in two places.
The south drift is being continued from
the 35-foot level and a considerable
amount of stopping is being done in this
locality. In addition to this a Wine
is being sunk on the drift heal the point
where it reached the open. So far the
high grade streak has been continuous,
and has yielded good returns.
Boyd, Kalaher & Belin, who have a
lease on the main workings of the Ma
tional Bank, are getting an excellent
grade of milling ore. The Sparkling
mill is working on this material and
the ~lessees have a considerable amount
of this material ready for treatment.
At the Holt lease on the Bullfrog
Mining things are looking better. Mr..
Holt is down IS or 90 feet on the vein
and the bottom Of the shaft shows good
mill rock.
The "66' people are following their
rich stringer with a Wine from the tun-
mel level. This opening is now down
about % feet, and the body shows con
siderable improvement.

coarse gold.
Lost Shovel
Additional work at the Lost Shovel
mine this week has served to make the
ledge show up better than ever. 1t
would be hard to find a finer quality Of
sulphide ore than is being extracted
from the ledge each day and what
makes it just that much better is the
fact that the vein is widening and
values are getting greater all the while.
walkover
The walkover mine is another of
those good things overlooked in the
irst rush to a mining district, something
that happened when the first crowd en-
tered this basin and commenced stalking
out claims. From this fact it takes its
name, as the original locator must have
seen that the acreage had been walked
over many times, because of the prox-
unity of boundary and discovery monu-
ments. How the first corners overlooked
the choice ground is hard to realize, but
it must have been they took it for
granted that so prominent and fine look
ing dyke had been located by the first
man that got over that way.
Dago No. 5
On the Dago No. 3 claim, which is
one of the group of five purchased by
II. b. Lind and associates, the new
owners are further lowering the shaft
now down 35 feet. The crosscut, which
was driven about Is feet, is being con-
tinued at the same time and is being
made to expose the junction of a hard
quartz ledge with the main dyke. Both
the main ledge and the smaller fissure
contain good surface values and it is
expected some very rich ore will be
found where they meet.

Nevada Mirage

From what is known as Antelope
summit, about forty miles west of Win

Pacific railway, comes news Of another
important strike. The ore is a heavy
galena, carrying high values in silver
with some gold. The discovery was
made a short time ago OF claims owned

and no time will be lost in laying the
same. This pipe-li line will furnish air
from the compressor at the Wandering
Bow hoist to the Stone Cabin shaft.
Development work is going on through
the Wandering Boy shaft, operations at
present being confined to the Fraction
No. 1 ground. where three machines are
being employed. Drifts are being run
east and west on the ledge on the 200
foot level about o feet north of the
shaft, where the vein shows from 4 to
5 feet of good milling ore. On the 400
foot level, about 500 feet north of the
shaft, a north crosscut is being sent
out to prospect the ground. The bal
ance of the capacity of the compressor
will be used in opening up and develop
ing the ground through the Stone Cabin
shaft.
Montana
Everything is running along very
smoothly in this property and the regu-
lar development work and extraction of
ore continues on all levels. The several
lodges have been followed in the slopes
and by drifts, at different depths, and
the veins in general have held their W
in strength and values.
On the 3e0-foot level the working
force has been transferred to the third,

work on that level. 1t is probable that
nothing will be done on the top level
for over two weeks.
On the second. or 462-foot level, the
west drift on the Macdonald vein, $50
feet west of the shaft, which has been
driven in the footwall, south of a fault,
is now cutting vein material, and it is
expected that the next few rounds of
holes will show ore. The stope on this
ledge on this level, 800 feet west of the
shaft, is being carried up for a length
of 100 feet. and shows from 9 to 10 feet
of shipping ore in the back, the vein
being stronger in the west. This stope
is now up an average of Is feet for the

At the Ramsey Comstock mine work
is progressing chiefly IN the new mill.
Some delay has been occasioned by the
non-arrival of some large timbers or
dered, but these are expected to reach
Apache most any day now, when the
plant will be rapidly completed, says
the Recorder. Lighter material has been
arriving in considerable quantity the
last few days, which will be made ready
to put in place as soon as the heavier
timbers arrive.
The big mine has been put in shape
for continued Stopping and when the
plant commences operation there will
be no difficulty in keeping it supplied
with plenty of ore for a long period of
time. Some very long drifts have been
made on the ore in the lower drifts, up
raises made to connect the various
levels, on the hanging wall side of the
ledge, and some of the slopes have been
opened. The ore exposure is greater
than ever and it can be readily seen
that IL is prepared for a large mill run
when the machinery is started.
The Ramsey Comstoek mine has made
great progress since the first discovery
Of rich ore on the big dyke, less than
two wears ago. A determination to open
the extensive ledge at depth and block
out a large ore reserve has certainly
met with every success and in the de
velopment of the property several large
shipments of high grade ore were ex'
tracted and sent out to the shelters
