casemate armor amidships the side is
protected by armor Of 5 inches thick
ness, which affords. protection to the
smoke pipes, the major portion of the
secondary batteries of 5-inch guns and
the hull structure.
The contract for the Delaware was
placed August 6, 1907, at o price of ST.
987, 200, to be built in accordance with
the departments design Dor both hull
and reciprocating machinery. Her keel
was laid November II, 1907.
The Delaware is $40 feet in length on
load water-line, IS feet 2 inches in
breadth, and her mean draft to bottom
of keel at trial displacement about 81
feet. Her coal bunker capacity is $500
tons, which is sufficient to send her at
a 10-knot speed distance of 672O
knots, or % days steaming. Provision
is also made for the storage of a.large
amount of oil fuel without in any de-
gree reducing the capacity OF tho coal
bunkers. She will have triple-expan-
sion reciprocating engines, and will re-
quire over 900 men to man her.
Her armament will consist of main
battery of ten 12-inch breech-loading
rifles. and her secondary battery will be
fourteen 5-inch, rapid-fire guns, four 3
FOUNDER saluting guns, two 3-inch field
pieces, and two machine guns of 80
caliber. She has two submerged tor
pedo tubes. The Delaware will have
on trial of 10000 tons, or
2l00 tons greater than the British
and $50 tons greater
than Great Britain's latest vessel of
that type, the Vanguard.

fensive qualities, other than those de-

such as to give the maximum degree Of

The great battleship Delaware has

Compared with the battleships, COM

The Delaware is to carry as heavy

RAMPANT NEWS NOTES

Rampant, March %. Latest
reports from Troublesome creek
and it's tributaries are to the eff
feet that a good paystreak has
been uncovered. At this time
we cannot learn any of the par
ticulars, and do not know just
which one of the tributaries of
Troublesome this discovery has
been. found on, but will try to be
more definite and certain in our
next letter.
Swanson & OFT, on pa. Hoo
sier creek, have all their holes to
bedrock but two. So far they
have found nothing but pros
poets, and are drowned out of
the remaining two holes, but will
stay with them and try to freeze
them to bedrock.
Doffenier, Wilson & McCabe,
on the bar between Little Minook
Jr. and Hoosier creeks, are at
work on their ninth hole, and re-
port that they have enough in
sight to keep them sinking.

IMPROVEMENT ON
WIRELESS SYSTEM

ager, Marconi has filed his patents for
this duplexing process, and with an i'm
proved installation now being fitted up
the capacity of the station will be con-
siderably more than doubled. The
next thing they have in view is the es
tablishment of direct line between
Clifden, in Ireland, and London, and
also of one between Glaze Bay and
Montreal, and probably the latter will
be extended to New York.
