Chief of Police Wittman returned | from St. Louis yesterday afternoon, | enthusiastic over the fact that the| next year's convention of the Chiefs | of Police of the United States and Canada will be held in this city. He the members a good time and will do everything possible | to carry the promise into effect. | “When I reached St. Louis,” said the Chief, “I found that Detroit had | a cinch on next year’s convention and | I was told to wait till the year after. | I went to work and got & number not | to have this gun where I can get it kly when I call for it, for I don’t know how suddenly I may find use for The young man took the pistol and then sent word to Patroiman E. J. Swift regarding Mr. Bennett's ex- ‘raordinary request. The defendant apparently did not onsider his conduct extraordinary, for he told Judge Mogan that in Aber- deen’'s exclusive set, of which he is an exalted member, it is en regle for gen- tiemen to disarm themselves before tering 2 ballroom, as shooting in the presence of ladies is regarded as vulgar and punishable by ostracism. His admonition to the custodian of the cloakroom at Scottish Hall was simply the precaution of a prudent psrson who did not know what he was going against, as it was his first entrance to San Francisco society. Then the Judge kindly explained that it was not for committing a breach of any local social code, writ- ten or unwritten, that Bennett was ar- rested, but for violating the munici- pal ordinance which prohibits the car- rying of deadly weapons withoit spe- cial permission to do so. It was no offense, but a distinct innovation, to Frank Hughes of 274 Dorr street ac- cuses Belle Kenny of stealing from his pledged to Detroit to promise me a complimentary vote. On the last day of the convention Chief Downey of | this there are many reasons, the first of which is the fact, testified to by many weli known mining men, whose large experience Tere Judges, that the gold output for the comin season will be greatly in excess of that any previous year. Under the most conserv- ative ‘estimates it s thought that the spring cleanup alone will reach ore and a quarter millions of dollars and many operators of krown judgment place the figure much higher. That the output for the winter diggings will more than double that of any previous year all_are agreed upon. To those who are not famillar with *pre. vailing conditions here this winter the abo estimate may seem large, but when the reaso: for the great increase in the gold output are explained it will once become apparent that it is no over statement of fact. The development of the winter diggings at Nome and In the immediate neighborhood has exceeded the ideas of the most sanguine and the experience of the present winter season has shown conclusively that the deep deposits of gold bearing gravel in this vicinity are practically inexhaustible. These deposits can be profitably mined during the winter season and make Nome an all-year camp. That the cleanup from the winter diggings will con- tinue to increase from year to year Is an assured fact, The estimated output as above given Is, of course, for the entire Seward peninsula, but there is no doubt that the Nome district will produce the greater part of it, and to divide this again, it !5 equally certain that the greater part of Nome's output will be drawn from the divide between Anvil and Dexter creeks and from the Dry Creek benches. SOME RICH CREEKS. Among the creeks in the Nome district which wiil be the heaviest producers are the Moonlight, a tributary of Anvll; Tripple, Bour- bon, Cunringhem, Peluk, Bangor, Osborne and Buster, Inmachuk River and tributaries it is estimated will produce $175,000; Candle Creek, $85,000; Bluff City beach, $40,000; old beach diggings east of Nome, including Peluk and other_creeks, $125,000; Solomon River, $150,000 to $175,000; Dahl Creek in the Kougarok dis- trict will also be a good producer. Besides these specified a great many very promising reports from other districts are ob- tainable, namely from the Kougarok River country, Sinrock, Norton Bay, Gold Run and Casa de Para. Solomon, one of the most promising dis- tricts of the peninsula, will be one of the heuviest producers this year. A number of very promising quartz prop- erties in the Solomon country have been un- dergoing exhgustive prospecting and develop- ment work this winter, with the result that their owners, who are also largely interested in placer properties in various parts of that and other dist are emphatic in thelr sertions that they consider their quartz h: ings of much greater value than the pin From some of these properties many ricii spec mens are produced in which coasiderable e« zold may be seen, PRODUCTION OF TIN.

The bonding of properties and the se- ecuring of options are indications of in- terest in varied branches of mining. W. H. Christie has an option, so reports the Redding Free Press, on the Sykes Min:ng Company's property, the Lar- son mine and the Vollmer ranch, at Trinity Center, in Trinity Counfy. These propertles include about 1400 acres of gravel, of which more than half is reported to be good dredg'ng ground. A lease on the Nevada County mine, in the heart of Nevada City, has been obtained by A. Maltman, super- intendent of the Murchie mine. The Blue Iecad copper claims, in Siskiyou County, near the Oregon lina, in the vieirity of Applegate, have been sold to J. F. Reddy and E. L. Jones.

The North Star Mining Company is grading for a large cyanide plant that | will be the only one in the district to date outside of a small one installed by the company some time ago. The Grass Valley Union says: } It has been known for several years that the company has lost a few thousand dollars every month by its inability to recover all the gold from its tailings. A small sand_ plant has worked these to some extent below the mill, op- erated by private capital. Superintendent Foote, however, decided that a cyanide pracess would work out with excellent results, despite the fact that no mine in the district had ever put one in. He set about experimenting, and it is not generally known that his company had some of the most eminent chemists in the | West working on the proposition, embraeing some new features. Thousands of dollars were spent in experimenting until it was decided that a plan had been hit upon which would give the desired results. { It is evident that this small plant met every | expectation, determining the company on the erection of a large one to handle the entire | output of the new Central shaft 40-stamp mill. | It will be situated almost on the. edge of the | road to the Omaha mine, a short distance be- | low the mill, and the sulphurets will be car- | ried thither by a sluice. A new style of mill will be put in to reduce the sulphurets to the required fineness, Up to the present time the mines in this dis- trict have eithef shipped their sulphurets to Selby's or hauled them {o the smelting works between here and Nevada City. The Amador Ledger says that the | Fremont-Grover mine that has been shut down two months will remain so | for months to come if necessary. A | strike caused the closing. | A geological map of the copper belt in Shasta County is in preparation | under the direction of the United | States Geological Survey. | The Silver State says that the most important strike in years in Hum- boldt County, Nev., is the recent one seven miles northwest of Kennedy. ~ WANT OTR FLAG ON EVERY SEA Plans Being Formulated to Increase Merchant Marine Service of United States g5 e SHIPPERS ARE AROUSED Meeting of Commissioners at Chieago First Move in| Battle for Rehabilitation CHICAGO, June United States Merchant Marine Commission, created under the provisions of the Gardner bill, passed at the last session of Congress, conferred with Chicago manufacturers, shippers, exporters and bankers to-day with a view to formu- lating plans for rehabilitating the mer- | chant marine of this country on the high seas. After leaving Chicago the members of the commission will visit the Pacific Coast. It is the intention of the com- missioners to formulate a definite plan for increasing the number of ships car- rying the American flag and submit the plan to Congress for consideration next session. Senator Gallinger, in calling the meeting to order, said it was a source of gratification to the,commission to note the great interes® the movement had aroused among shippers and busi- ness men in all parts of the country. John Barrett, former Minister to Slam and Argentina and at present Minister to Panama, sald he had trav- eled around the world. five times and had recently completed a trip of 50,000 miles irf the jnterest of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and in all his journeys regretted to say he did not | see one merchant marine ship flying the American flag. He described the great wealth of the Argentine republic and expressed the belief that the Unit- ed States should establish a subsidiary | line of ships between this country and the principal South American ports.
