The American navy is still among the best, but
the ships that fought by Dewey and by
Sampson and by Schley are no longer figured in
the lineup that makes the great fleet under com
mand of Rear Admiral Badger one of the most

would have to be taken by more modern ships OF

One of the most important and

of the Gold Dollar Consolidated Min

The tenth annual report of the Jer-

shipment OF ore, estimated at two
ounces gold, or about $40 to the ton.

Aetna vein at the Capital tunnel be-
tween raises Nos. 8 and 10, in the
Georgetown district, have broke into
body of steel galena and yellow cop

The ore is a high grade and will mill

A rich mineral find has just been
made at the Golden Glory tunnel on
