The fleet passed Cape Flat- tery at dark Thursday evening and salled easily up the Sound, having no cause to hasten or to conceal its movements. The vessels composing the squadron are Ad- miral Glass’ flagship, the armored cruiser New York: the protected cruiser Marble- head, the gunboats Concord and Benning- ton and the tug Fortune. The latter came by Seattle to pick up mail for the squad- ron. The entire trip was uneventful and the vessels arrived In the navy yard in good dition, barring the crdinary wear and ear of a long voyage. All will be care- fully examined by boards of survey to ascertain what repairs, if any, are neces- sary. The impression prevails that the New York may remain at Bremerton for some time to undergo a thorough over- hauling. The officers of the squadron deny all knowledge of the story wired from Port Townsend that the entrance of the fleet to the Sound was a naval maneuver, and that “Admiral Casey” constructively ran formidable blockade successfully and achfeved a mighty victory. Admiral Ca of the vesse the fleet and has no con- nection with it. If the entrance of the f was a successful naval maneuver, ressels, the officers say, are entitled -aordinary commendation, since they « d it through without the knowledge of the men who were navigating them. —_———— BRIGADES OF THE SEVENTH ENGAGE IN A SHAM BATTLE Militiamen Practice Maneuvers That Might Be Necessary in Actual Engagement.

Eagan, the retired United rmy officer, and associates have no title to the anthracite coal fields situ- ated at San Marcial, Mexico, has resulted in the property involved passing into the hands of the Pacific Coast Coal Com- ates pany, in which the Southern Pacific Com- pany is said to be interested. General Eagan and his associates paid $700,000 for the coal flelds several years ago, and under the decision, they will lose this amount. The plaintiff in the case was Carlos H. Johnson, a resident of Mexico, who owned the land which the coal deposits are located. —_—————————— upon | MME. HUMBERT SAYS SHE WILL BE VINDICATED ford Brothers Visited the House Repeatedly.

NAPLES, Aug. 14.—The people are al- most in a state of panic over the activity of Vesuvius, although the flow of lava is | less to-day than yesterday. The parish priests and the guardians of the law are having great difficulty in quieting the peo- ple, who are convinced that they are about to be overwhelmed with lava. They | are gathering in churches, where they { cast themselves before the altar, implor- ing the Intercession of the Virgin. The earthquake shocks .have served to in- crease the alarm. ————— RUSSIA INCREASES ARMY TO CHECEKMATE JAPAN Intends to Plnu};ee of Three Hun- | dred Thousand Soldiers in the Far East.

L. Craig, | the St. | Petersburg | last with C. E. Ferrel and his two blood- | hounds for Dogtown in pursuit of the | €scaped” convicts, returned to Placerville ' lat 2 o'clock yesterday morning, Ferrel | ! having gone on straight to Nevada with | the hounds from Kirkwood Station. The | posse arrtved at Dogtown at noon last | Saturday, but had they been better in- | formed as to the location and route of the convicts they would have gone ai- rect’ to Grizzly Flats and there they would have secured further information which in all probability would have en- | abled them to intercept the outlaws. | When within a few miles of Grizzly Flats | they struck northeast. From Dogtown, | under the direction of an Indian guide named Hunter, they proceeded to the Meiss sheep ranch, and, finding nothing, | went on to Capps Crossing. Near there is the sheep ranch and cabin where the | convicts at noon on Saturday took from an old German sheepherder a pair of overalls, two ples and a supply of pro- visions. When Deputy Sheriff Cook and was not on board any | his posse arrived there it was 9 o'cloci | Sunday morning, about twenty hours after the convicts had departed. there Cook's men followed the trail to Leaks Springs, where they arrived at 6 p. m. Sunday night. Cook on arriving at Dogtown had dis- patched a messenger to tell Sheriff Nor- man of Amador County to go direct to | Leaks Springs and he (Cook) would fol- low the trail, but Norman had gone to another station and did not get to Leaks Springs till 2 p. m. on Sunday, and during that time the con ts were pushing on ‘o | Andersons Evidently having something in their course that aroused { their suspicion, they swung around out for Silver Lake and when the Cook party had got to Silver Lake Norman's party had gone on about six miles far-| The surround- | The two bri- | ing country was examined and Moherter, | ther to Kirkwood Station. Dygert and the gulde Hunter guarded Tragedy Springs both Monday and Tues- day nights, but other than a report made by some of Norman's men that about three miles northeast from Kirkwood it was thought the comvicts were located, neither party succeeded in accomplish- ing anything. Sheriff Norman, with four of his men, started for Lake Tahoe, the balance of his men returning home | Wednesday morning. | The convicts are now in Alpine County and are making for Nevada with all their energy, their plan apparently being to strike sheep camps and shape their course through desolate places. The country is of granite formation, and while in some places the trail is clear, yet patches of rock will intervene which baf- fles the skill of the most experlenced trail- | ers. Gignae, Wyatt and Colvin have not yet returned. Colvin is reported pursuing the trail single-handed. With the entry of the convicts on the Nevada border or- ganized pursuit in this county has prac- tically ceased. Rt T CONTEST FOR REWARD. ! Captors of Convfi}oberts Squabble for the Prize Money. | SACRAMENTO, Aug. 14—The latest | feature in the contest for the reward for | the capture of James Roberts is that un- der the terms of a recent Supreme Court decision none of the parties fighting for | the prize money is entitled thereto. Rob- | erts was taken on the banks of Putall | Creek, Yolo County, by a posse made up of Deputies Edward Reese, George Wit- tenbrock and John Hinters and two Da- visville constables. Hinters asserts he leveled the rifle that caused Roberts to | surrender and that he clasped the ‘hand- i cuffs on his wrists and claimed him as | nis prisoner. Sheriff David Reese and | Hinters escorted Roberts to Folsom pris- Ton, and Hintérs took the precaution to | secure a personal receipt from the prison authorities for the recaptured fugitive. Sheriff Reese protested against the issu- ance of the receipt to Hinters, but War- den Wilkinson declined to interfere. Hin- | ters claimed the reward before the State Board of Examiners and Sheriff Reese contested his claim. It now appears that under a ruling of the Bupreme Court neither Reese nor Hinters fs entitled to the reward. Sev- eral years ago Mr. and Mrs. F. H. L. Weber were murdered in Sacramento and a Russian named Ivan Kovalev was | wanted for the crime. He was captured by Captain of Detectives I. W. Lees of San Francisco, who claimed the $1000 re- ward offered by the State. The Board of Examiners allowed the claim, but State Controller Colgan refused to draw his warrant for the amount. The matter was finally taken to the Supreme Court and that body held that as Lees was a peace officer of San Francisco it was his duty to arrest Kovalev in the ordinary dis- charge of his duties and he was entitled to no reward. The court held that it would not be good policy to permit peace officers working for a fixed salary to take reward moneys, assthe practice would in- duce them to wait until a reward was offered before making arrests. It is now claimed that as the crime of breaking prison and assaulting the guards occurred in Sacramento County it was the duty of the county officlals to arrest the offenders without the inducement of a re- ward. —_— THINKS HE SAW MILLER. Alturas Electrician Tells of a Strange Visit Paid Power-House. ALTURAS, Aug. 14—While electrician I W. Gibbins was at his work in the | power-house on Wednesday about mid- | night, two men entered and asked for water. Mr. Gibbins noticed that one of the strangers resembled the picture of convict Miller, and naturally his sus- | piclons were aroused. He noticed that | the two men wore their hats pulled down over thelr eyes, and, upon looking close- ly, he saw that they both had their hair clipped. The men loitered around awhile and finally after inquiring the read lead- ing north took their departure. Sheriff Street was afterward notified and made a search for the men, but could find no trace of them. It is the | opinion of Gibbins, and also of Mr. Yates, | who was in the power-house at the time, that the men were Miller and one more of the convict band. They tallled exactly | to the pictures and descriptions. { ———————— | Will Make His Home in Arfzona. PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 4.—It s an- nounced that Captain Oberlin M.

This is the, substance of a review by the Nevada County Miner, which asserts that the pe- | riod of depressfon is passing away and ac- | tivity Is its successor: | New properties that heretofore have been | merely prospected are now being developed and { 0ld properties long abandoned are being worked | with large forces of men. Mines where a | 800G force has been employed are extending and enlarging their cperations and to do 86 are employing more miners. Rich strikes made , in different localities, in mines that were | once abandoned and sald to be “‘worked out'" have given an impetus to the Industry and strengthened the confidence of mining men in | | the future outlcok of the district. Ther: are | | new deals In mining property frequently and in | | most instances the purchasers increase the | working force. There are a number of min- Ing men of experience in the county striving iqul!ll_\' to gain control of properties that are | not being worked. They will succeed in clos- | Ing their deals and will put the properties on ’lhe active list, when many more men will be required. It has been meny years since the | outlook of the mining industry in Nevada | | County was brighter than it is now. | | The accumulations of the dumps at the | Rose Hill mine, in Nevada County, on | Winchester Hill, will be crushed with new | machikery. In early days only the high grade ores were crushed. There are 5000 | tons of low grade rock on the Rose Hill dump to be milled. The Rose Hill mine is between the North Star and the Em- pire. It has been worked at various times. A strike in the Menlo mine, in Nevada County, is reported. This is an old min- ing property. _ The Rescue Mining Company has been organized to work the Coon Crossing gold | mine, near Rescue, El Dorado County. A five-stamp mill will be erected. Operations have been resumed at the turquoise mines near Manvel, San Ber- nardino County. The quicksilver company operating_the mines at New Almaden is handling®4000 | tons of ore per month. Six furnaces are in operation. A DEAL IN TRINITY. | Some particulars concerning the deal | previously reported for the Senger and | Hughes placer claims, near Weaverville, | Trinity County, are given by the Redding | Searchlight, which says: . | The Senger and Hughes placer mines have | been bonded to E. F. Burrill of Berkeley for $30,000. Mr. Burrill has spent considerable | | time here working up the deal. The properties | comprise about 420 acres of auriferous gravel | and are situated betwecn West Weaver Creek | | Mr. Burrill has a lease | | i i | { | and McKenzie Gulch. | for several vears of the West Weaver Ditch and water rights from the La Grange Com- | | pany. The gravel Is favorably situated for | proper working and bears every evidence of be- | ing a paying proposition Mr. Burrill will | | equip the mine and begin operations ns soon | | as s sufficlent supply of water is available. | | The copper properties of the Stockton | Consolidated Copper Mining Company, in | Shasta County, on thg Pit River, will be | developed. They are three and one-half mlles below Big Bend. | The smelting of ores with crude petro- leum is reported to have been accom- | | plished in experiments conducted in Ari- | zona. Thirty tons of ore, according to re-! ports, were smelted in twenty-four hours. The matte drawn from the furnace con- tained 60 per cent of copper. The Redding Free Press says: The Liberty group of mines, near Copley, | | formerly under bond to the Great Western Gold Company, has passed into the control, un- der bond, of a trio of wealthy Philadelphians. E. F. Adams, attorney for Henrietta AJlams, formerly his wife, has bonded the group to John Bates Wattermann, Willlam H. Dry and Thomas Fillmore Gates of Philadeiphia for $150,000. The first payment of $20,000 is due Wwithin thirty days. The second payment of $10,000 falls due on November 7, 1903, an1 the third and eacn subsequent rayment of $20,000 falls due every sixty davs thereafter until the whole amount js paid. About $30,000 worth of work has already been done on' the Likerty group and there is about 3000 feet of tunnel. STRIKES GRAVEL BODY. The Placer Herald reports that a large find of gravel has been made at Spring Garden, on the Forest Hill divide, in Placer County: A large and rich body of gravel has been struck on what s called the Peckham Hill property at Spring Garden, cn_the Forest Hill Divide, in this county. The Peckham Hill mining property is composed of a number of claims, aggregating in all several thousand acres. ' Albert C. Burrage is the owner. For over a year past Mr. Burrage has had a large force of men driving a tunmel. The tunnel is in 1750 feet, with three upraises, It is nincty- two feet below the old Rough and Ready tun- nel. The Tuolumne Independent reports the suspension of work upon the Doyle Ranch gravel mine. The men have been pald and are working on the Woodside. The Union quartz mine in Tuolumne County has been bought by James W. Stephens from Thomas Hughes and George L. Adams. The property adjoins the Rough and Ready mine. The Geor- giana mine, formerly the Garfield, has been bonded to Charles Holland and others. The Downieville Messenger says con- cerning Sierra County mines: The owners of the Swansea mine have ef- fected u corporation, of which Colonel Mather is the leading spirit. Joe Brock has charge of the work, which at present consists of bed- rock tunnel. Seventeen men are employed at the Kenton mine, now called the Slerra Reina, near Alleghany. ' The mill is being run night and day. Harry Green of Los Angeles, the principal owner of the Corotman mine at For- est City, has decided to discontinue work. RESUMING OPERATIONS. The Old Junction mine and six adjoin- ing properties, at the junction of the North and Middle Yuba River, four miles west from the town of North San Juan, has new owners, who propose to work it. The Lecompton mine in Nevada County has resumed operations. New ground has been cleared for development. In deciding: the suit of the Tonopah Mining Company against the Tonopah and Salt Lake Mining Company in favor of the defendant Judge Hawley lald down the following legal doctrine: When a valid location of a mining claim is once made it vests in the locator and his successors in Interest the right of possession thereto, . which right cannot be divested by the obiigation or removal, without the fault of the locator or his successors in interest, of the stakes and monuments marking its Dboundaries, or of the obliteration or from the claim of the location notices posted thereon.

According to the Stockton Independent, Captain Nevills has had timbers prepared in Stockton to retimber 500 feet of the shaft of the Moore mine in Amador Coun- ty, but owing to the labor situation has not given any order to have the timbers shipped to the mine. Captain Nevills is quoted as saying that if he was assured there would be no interference he would begin work on the Moore mine at once. The Chico Record says that A. D.

BOSTON, Aug. 4.—According to an- neuncements made by the cotton mill owners of New England, the curtailment of production will be fully as extensive next week as it is at present. While more than 500,000 spindles in Fall River will be idle all of tHe six days and 450,000 operated on short time, the total number in operation in Fall River will be some- what increased. - In other mill towns, however, additional notice® of partial suspension and shut- downs have been made. Outside of Man- chester and Nashua, in New Hampshire, many mills, including the three corpora- tions at Suncoon, the mills at Exeter and ttsfleld, which closed one week ago, Wil be idle. To-morrow the five mills of the Co- checho Corporation at Dover will be shut down for two weeks. The Dover mills employ 1500 operatives, exclusive of those engaged in the Cochecho print works, which will be closed later on. In Pa tucket several concerns will adopt a pol- icy of retfenchment next Monday. Mills in Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island will continue the plan adopt- ed earlier in the month.

ROME, Aug. 14—The Poge to-day ree ceived In private audience several Car dinals, Archbishops and Bishops. He alsa received Sir Thomas Esmond, the repre- sentative of the Irish Parllamentary party. Sir Thomas was left alone with the Pontiff, and, when he wished tg kneel, the Pope most amiably stretched out his hand and asked him to be seated at his side. Sir Thomas presented the congratulations of the Irish party upon the Pope's succession. and the Pon- tff was much gratified, saying that the Irish were very dear, loyal people, and that he wished them all prosperity and happiness. Speculation concerning the appolntment of Secretary of State continues to be en- srossing at the Vatican. Thers has been & suggestion that Cardinal Gott! should be appointed to this post, on the ground that such an appointment would please Germany and Austria, and that Cardinal Rampolla should replace Gotti as Prefect of the Propaganda, thus insuring the protection of France's Interests in the Far East. It is not belleved, however, that the suggestion will prove acceptable to the Pope. Others believe that the Pope is trying to overcome the excessive modesty of Cardinal Satoll in order to induce him to accept the position.
