Seven Troughs Rich Bullion

One. of the biggest and richest bull
lion shipments ever sent out from the
Seven Troughs district passed through
Loveiock the latter part OF last week.
The bullion was in two lots. The first
lot, which came in last Friday, and
which was a product of the ores from
the Kindergarten mine, belonging to
the Coalition company, weighed ap-
proxlmately IS pounds. while the sec
ond lot. II pounds and extracted from
the ores taken from the old Wihuja
shaft. was brought in Saturday after
noon- The entire shipment weighed
80 pounds, and while no assays had
been made to determine the purity, the
value of the bullion was variously es-
timated to be between $4,000 and
20,000.-Golddeld Tribune.
Cherry Creek Ore
While stripping the surface of his
gold mines in the Cocomongo district
near Cherry creek, Fred Borchert
opened up two parallel veins of free
gold ore, from which samples have
been taken carrying values as high as
$500.
The two leads lie about six inches
apart, and each of them is four inches
wide. The ore is of a milling variety,
and is rich enough to justify its ship
ment to Salt Lake for treatment

Plumas-Eureka
Gold quartz mining is strictly on the
boom in the townsville district, a great
deal of active mining is In progress
and large number of prospectors
from Nevada and California points, at
tracted here by the reported activity in
our mines, are arriving.
The Plumas- Eureka quartz mine, a
controlling interest in which was sold
last fall by the Johnston Graham min
ing company TO an eastern syndicate,
is employing 20 men on its property,
and 40 stamps are continually drop
ping on ore in the big milling plant.
When the syndicate took hold Of the
property II commenced extracting ore
through the Eureka tunnel from what
is known as the floor ledge" a vein
which lies almost horizontally in the
mountain. This tunnel is on the lower
level of the mine and this spring the
flow of water coming into the incline
mas prevented the continuance OF THIS
work.
However. about two months ago a
five foot vein Of good ore was opened
up in new territory lin the mine, and
from this much ore has been taken and
milled. II is understood that the values
contained in the ore from this new
strike are very fiattering indeed. The
ore body continues strong and gives
every indication Of permanency.
The company has installed a cyanide
plant and is treating the ore concen-
trates by this method.
An investigation Of the dump left by
the English company, which at one
time owned and operated the Plumas-
Eureka, satisfied the present company
that it would pay TO mill this discarded
mass of ore-probably 5000 or 1000
tons. Consequently this dump, which
is situated on what is known as the
Seventy-siX mine. $500 feet above the
Plumas- Eureka mill, is being quarried
out and taken TO the mill by means of
the tramway recently constructed.
The company contemplates building
a dam at the lower end of Eureka lake.

TWO LIVES LOST
IN COSTLY FIRE
MenIough, Seat of Valentine
Blake, Bart, Is Destroyed
by Flames
HEIRL00MS ARE DESTROYED
Splendid Mansion Was Built More
Than Seven Centuries
Ago

DUBLIN, Aug. 1e.-Menlough castle,
Galway, the residence of Sir Valen-
tine Blake, Bart, has been destroyed
by fire. Miss Ellen Blake, daughter
OF Sir Valentine, was burned to death
and buried in the ruins. Felia Early,
maid at the castle, jumped from
the roof into the courtyard, distance
of about fifty feet, and was killed IN
stantly, and another maid named An
ME Brown. who leaped from the roof,
was so badly hurt that she died later
in the day.
Miss Blake, the two maids and a
coachman named Kirwan were the only
occupants of the castle. The coach
man was sleeping in one of the top
rooms and was wakened by the shout
ing of the girls. Thinking they We're
only laughing at something in the
yard, he did not get up at once, but
about o'clock he got up as he thought
he heard an unusual noise. AS he
opened the door smoke and flames
burst into the room. He Immediately
snatched up some clothing and got out
by the window, descending to the
ground by climbing down the ivy with
which the castle walls were covered.
On going to the back he saw the
two maids outside on the roof, fifty
feet from the ground, and shouted to
them to wait while he fetched some
hay from a barn in the yard for them
to Jump on. Della Early jumped Off
before he had the hay in position,
and, falling on her face, was killed
instantly. Annie Brown jumped after
her and was fatally injured.
Kirwan got a horse and galloped to
the police station, three miles away,
for help, but before the Galway fire
brigade and the Ccnnaught rangers
brigade could arrive only the walls of
the castle were left standing. There
were no fire escapes or even long lad
ders at the place by which the girls
could be taken off the roof.
Sir Valentine and Lady Blake were
away in Dublin, the former at pri-
vate hospital, when the fire occurred.
1t is thought the FIRE originated from
a lamp which Miss Blake, who was
suffering from rheumatism and unable
to move, usually kept burning in her
room. 1t is thought the fire must
have been burning the greater part of
the night, as when first discovered the
entire left wing of the house, in which
was Miss Blake's loom, was completely
destroyed.
Menlough castle was a splendid
mansion, built 700 years ago by an
ancestor of the present baronet. The
founder of the family is said to have
accompanied King John of Ireland in
1885.
The contents of the castle, which in
cluded many old paintings, much val
liable furniture and armor and many
fine family heirlooms. were destroyed,
nothing whatever being saved.

GERMANY TO HOLD
NAVY PROGRAM
Immense Fleets Will Be Paraded
and No Economy At
tempted
PLANS OUTLINED TO 1917
Admiral Won Tirpitz Has His Way
in Conflict with Minister
of Finance
PLANS OUTLINED TO 1917

BERLIN, Aug. 19.-Admiral Won
Tlrpitz, the German naval secretary,
has triumphed in his conflict with the
finance minister, Herr Wermuth, in
the interest of a great navy and no
economies.
There will be no change in Germany's
policy to build the immense feet pro-
vided by her naval programs, and
there is not the faintest hope of any
international arrangement being
agreed for a limitation of naval arma-
ments. Misguided persons in England
who believe that Germany is prepared
to relax one iota of her policy with
regard to armament need only read to-
days comments of the German news
papers on this question.
These comments make it clear that
Germany's sole idea is to follow the
line she has mapped out for herself;
and that interference from outside is
regarded only as so much presumption
on sovereign rights. Furthermore,
those who continue to urge that Great
Britain should again take the initiative
for the limitation of ornaments are
only laying themselves under the
charge which is openly made that they
are actuated by the fear that Germany
has at last become serious rival as
a sea power.
The Vossische Zeitung, in an officially
inspired article concerning the limi-
tation of naval ornaments, declares:
That the present German shipbuild-
ing program being fixed by law for d
period of years is unalterable except
by new legislative act resembling that
of 1900 with it's supplementary acts of
1906 and 1908.
That this abandonment of Germany s
definite naval policy is absolutely out
of the question.
That the German government has al
ready intimated to the British gov
eminent that some agreement might
become possible after all the provisions
of the present German navy acts have
been fulfilled.
The existing German law lays down
Germanys shipbuilding program till
1917, and it is definitely declared that
no modification can be introduced I'M
til that date.
1t is plain that the influence of the
big navy party outweighs that of the
little navy group. In high quarters it
is considered certain that the new navy
bill, providing for further expansion
of Germany's fleet. will be laid before
the Reichstag within year or two.
The Tageblatt hints that the kaiser's
resolve is to uphold Admiral Won Tir-
pitt and his entire policy and his de-
cision may involve the fall of both
Herr Won Bethmann-H ollweg, the i'm
perial chancellor, and Herr Wermuth.

BODY OF QUEEN H0RTENSE
DISAPPEARS FROM TOMB

GENEVA, Aug. 19.-The sentence of
Queen Hortense, the mother of Ma
poleon III, has disappeared from its
tomb in the chapel attached to the
chateau of Arenberg in the canton OF
Argovie.
The queen was buried seventy-three
years ago and above the tomb was
displayed the following inscription in
letters of gold: Here lies the remains
of Queen Hortense." The golden in
scription was stolen ten years ago;
The Canton Historical society de-
termined this week to make thor
ough examination of the tomb. On
exoavating they discovered four layers
of bodies above the spot where the
queen was supposed to rest, but no
trace of the royal remains was dis
covered.
1t is now supposed that the body of
the queen disappeared at the same time
as the golden inscription.

county and state officers; lists of the
clubs members, officers and directors;
many of the ORGANIZATIONS historical
documents and numerous other me-
mentoes of the Los Angeles of today
calculated to interest those who many
years hence may explore the recess
beneath the corner stone.
The new home of the club is to be

stories high. 1t will cost $550,O00 1t
is being erected on the site of the old
quarters of the club and the corner
lot adjoining on the west. The sixth,
seventh, eighth and ninth floors will
be used by the club. The remainder
of the building will be rented for
stores and offices. 1t is probable that
the building will be ready for occu-
pancy not later than March 1, 1911.
Mayor Alexander is one of the men
who formed the Union League club in
1888. He said yesterday that he had
not selected a subject on which to talk
today-that inasmuch as he has been
identified with the club ever since 1t
was formed he might merely talk
about the club and himself in a simple,
personal way.
