I IIUTTB, Oct. 10. Ono of Iho most promising of
tho many placer deposits In Mudlson county If
5 tlio Oravolly llnngo, und tlio adjacent region.
' From 11 point on Alder dutch Just abovo VIr-
, glnln City to near lted Hock lako can bo traced
' what appears to have been tho courso of nn nn-
t jjj riant river or glacier. All nloug lha course nre
9 gtroirn wash boulder?, showing ovldcncos of hnv-
' & lng been carried a long distance. Near the
t head of llutcbcr Gulch this gravel U very pro-
; B. nounccd. Tlio remarkable deposit was also
opened on tho bond of Igwiim, which at ono
I I f" time caused a stampede and u number of lino
1 W nuggets wero picked up. Ono was as round as
I jp- a murblo and brought $160.
K' Two companies are ot present working In tlio
, gulch. One of them U running a drift to tap
lb bed rock. It Is A theory of old placer miners
i Y, that tlio bod rook found by early day minors Is
J i false and that the true bod rock U underneath,
J V; and that on It aro lying nugget by tho bucket-
.1 ' fuL The tunnel Is In 000 feet. Tho other com-
j & pany U working further up tho creek with somo
j success.
j Over the divide is Warm 8prlng Creek, an-
i 8 other etroam which outs tho Oravolly Itange on
, t which paying diggings are situated. Tho
I jj ground In the creek bed Is pockety, and tho
; jL. pockeU rich. At Crocket's, on the head of
j f, Frenoh Gulch, OiO acres of placer ground haa
' been located, lloro color can bo found In al-
: most any port of the ground from the grass
) . roots down, A lack of water prevents this
J i' ground from being thoroughly developed. At
. " the head of the wont fork ot the Madison Is tbo
' latest placo nhero gold has been discovered on
i j this range. 8o far Uttle has boen dono hero ex-
1 copt representation work.
Y A rich discovery of copper and gold b ro-
. ' : ,. ported 'at Hock Creek, three miles oboro Qulg-
, ; ley. Recent mining developments at Couko
, ', , City are encouraging. The lead In tlio lower
'. M tunnel of the Daisy was struck at a depth of
j ft' 1,000 feet, showing a big body of rich ore, car
's rylng wire gold. Tho vein was 30 feet wide
1 ft, at the SUO-foot level, and probably maintains
jfV its width to tho lower tunnel. Tho Daisy Is
; W owned by Anrou 1'. HUss, a wealthy lumber
i SK, wan of tialnaw, Mich., who has expended
W. 9123,000 In Its dcvolouinont. The vein was
( 0? opened at the oummlt ot Henderson Mountain,
, -. JT and prospects rich In gold for a long distance
j y.-. on each sldo of the Daisy claim.
'I- K- A cablegram has been received from Gias-
I 1' gow, Scotland, ordorlng a shut down of the en-
tl f tire plant of the Diamond 11111 mines. Tlio dlf-
I r ileulty Is said to be lack of sulllcleut power to
'$. run the l'-IO-stamp mill.
, An Important event In the history of Twin
Bridges was the "blowing In" last week of tliu
' smelter of the Montana bmelting and Mining
w Company. The success of the smelter meuns
i tho opening up o( one of the greatest mineral
W countries In the Statu outsldo of Silver Uoiid
x county.
? A. w. Tanner of Rod Bluff has Just returned
, t from the East, where ho mado arrangements
' .' for placing rubles, garnets, zlcons. and alnion-
v dies on the market for abrasive purposes. Ills
' Polo Creek placers will produco these stuues at
ihe rate of thirty pounds to the cubic yard.
They will be made Into emery by Eastern manu-
, ' i, facturers. Mr. Tanner Is conHdcnt that ono
' of ths largest emery belts in the world exists in
' h Madison county.
! The Little Kid mine, near Richmond Flats,
t has suddenly booome a producer. The mine was
, ; ; bought for a trifle last year by F. Nauenberg,
I- , son of a millionaire Minneapolis brewer. A
S Ore-stamp mill has boen put up, and the prop-
, ( arty put In urst-dass condition. At a depth of
; ,; sixty feet In the new shaft a body of fine ore
t was found. A shipment last week netted tho
i C owner 8,975 clear.
1 K BtUTTLS, Oct. 0, On the shores of Cleveland
j ' Fenlnsula. In southeastern Alaska, a great deal
' J of prospecting Is being done, and Borne very
j extensive ana valuable discoveries have re-
I cently been made. The float that led to these
Jj finds was found along the beach, and conslst-
cd of white quarts plentifully sprinkled with
' gold, the assays of which would go from $100
5 td $500 and $1,000 per ton In fact, good
- - wages could be made by collecting the Bcntterod
. pieces along the water and mortaring tho gold
' ! out. The ledges from which this Boat rock
' h came have finally been discovered In the moun-
f tains from half a mile to two miles back from
, &- the coast, and about forty claims have been
i taken up, Including extensions. These quartz
B ledges oro from six to twenty feet wide.
i and their accessibility makes them very nt-
I k tractive. A number of expeditions ore now
i outUttlng for thorough exploration of this por-
J V tlon of the Territory, and naphtha launches of
fe S1 from five to twenty tons burden aro U90d for
SR-,' the purpose. They aro provisioned for from
CllE six to twelve months, and carry ten or twelve
H men, navigators, prospectors, and crew, Tho
ttt,? expense is much less than a trip to tho Yukon
jBJI or Klondike, and tho winning prospects oro ex-

420,850,470 miles travelled, nt n cost of 11.84
cents anillc, or an annual expenditure of $10,
802,074. Tho foreign mall sorvlce cost $1,701,170
additional. Tho 21,517 star routes have nn
aggregate lengih of 'Jli.ViDS miles, mall mes
senger routes 173.173 miles, and railway Tost
Oflleo car routes 30,403 miles, Theso nre the
thrco principal services. There waB considera
ble reduction In tho cost of transmitting the
malls duiing tho year, but the star sorvlce nil
Increased 0.33O.7 10 miles.
Contracts havo been made by tho Tost Offlco
Department for extending the pncumatlo tube
service which was successfully tried In Now
York city this month, In Philadelphia, New
York, Brooklyn, and lloston. Each carrier tube
will have a capacity of 000 letters, and when the
scrrtce has been oxtended it will be possible to
transmit through tho tubes In all places 300,
000 letters an hour.
Mr. Shallcnborger has a great deal to say in
pralso of the tube system begun on Oct. 7 bo
twecn tho Produco Exihango and tho New York
Post Ofllce.
"These carriers," he says, "wore not only
complete success for tbe transmission of first
class matter, such as letters, but oqually satis
factory for the carriage of packages of every
description, Including n full suit of clothes, a
packago of books, a largo live cat In a cotton
sack, a dozen of eggs. &o. It is, therefore, qulto
possible to carry second, third, and fourth class
matter as well as first, when It can bo made
prolltable. When the pneumatlo tube servlca
is extended to stations several miles distant
from tho main olllcc, a continuous stream of
mull can be received direct on the mailing coun
ters, and tho forco of clerks can be kept con
tinuously busy, thus creating a saving In clerical
force as well as despatching Important mall ft om
the outlying districts one trnln earlier than here
tofore In many instances, thus expediting Its de
livery to distant cities from twolvo to twenty
four hours. The most Important source of
revenue to tbo department to be expected from
the tubular system will be the large Increase In
local correspondence, and apcclal-dellv cry letters
In particular. The prollt on this class of mall
matter Is very large, and the Increase of such
matter has In tho past corresponded to the In
crease of tho facilities for rapid delivery. Kor
Instance tho local wagon servico iu New York
was incrcasod to half-hourly trips some years
ngo. The aggregate numlwrof Bpeclal-dellvery
letters In 1801 was about 300,000; In lbOtl.
about C00.00O.
It is expected that the longer tubo. between
tho New ork Post Ortleoand Station II (Forty
fourth street aud Lexington avenue), will be
ready toitart by Nov. 15, lb07, and tlio ono be
tween New York and Brooklyn about Jan. 1,
1808.
During the last fiscal year the number of
fatalities to railway mall clerks wat greater
than during any previous year. The casualties
numbered 580. Fourteen clerks wero killed,
tbirty-threo seriously injured, and seventy-flvo
slightly Injured. A bill providing relief for
clerks Injured and tho families of clerks killed
wbllo on duty will bo submitted to Congress.
Tho accuracy of tho railway Post Oltlco clerks
in distributing the mall Is shown by tlio record
last year of only ono error to 11.9C0 pieces cor
rectly distributed.
Much space Is devoted by Mr. Shallenbergcr
to the subjectof newspaper mall. Recalls at
tention to "the possible! increnFeof revenue as
will lusuro to the Government a monopoly of
carrying legitimate second-class matter, as is
now tho casein regard to tlrst-class matter."
There seems to be no good reason, ho says, why
tbe great bulk of legitimate newspapers carried
by the Government at great loss to remolo
F laces should be permitted to bo taken away
rom tho malls b- railroad and express compa
nies whenever there is a short haul that would
make the carriage of them prolltable to tho
Government.
It was discovered by Mr. Shallenberger that
the newspaper train which left New York at
2:10 o'clock every morning for Washington was
carrying packages of newspapers wbich entered
the mails at Washington and were tnken up
regularly by the Railway Mall Service. Al
though the department had given authority for
this practice, Mr. .shallenberger derided that It
was Irregular and unsatisfactory, nnd hethere
foroarranged for a fast newspaper and mall
train, which now leaves New York at 2:10 A. M.
and reaches Washington nt 7:40 A, M. It
carries all the New York Sundiiv newspapers.
The service began on Oct. 10. Tho newspaper
mall alono taken on nt New York was 75,4 12
pounds, and at Philadelphia 1 1,308 pounds,
yielding a revenuo to the department, nt one
cent n pound, of $8fis At this rato the net
protlt to tbe Government from this train will bo
$15,000 to $20,000 annually.
Mr. Shallenbergcr Is gratified with tho suc
cess of tho new sybteni of transferring mail
from Incoming steamers In New York Ray to
the New York and Jersey City Post Oltliesand
railway stations. He Inserts in his renort a
letter from Postmaster Van Cott, daled Sept.
.10, showing the benefits of the change. II r.
Van Cott says in part:
In lfiVS seren White Star Meamrra and seres
Cunard steamers brought to this port 12,024 main
durlog the months or July and Augut. sad the total
time elapsed between the receipt or these inutli acid
thrlr daipatcb to the principal eichanfw nmcea In
the Unlleil htatei. Canada, aud Mexl.-o was 731 hours
and minutes, counting from tho time ot arrtral of
steamers at Quarantine.
In 1HV7, under the new system and during the same
period. July aud Ailguit. tereu steamers of theCullard
Una and seven of the White Star line hrought to this
port 14,051 malls, and the total tlmee:ipH dltetw ., n
the reeilt't of these malll on tMiard the tender V t
kill at Quarantine and their despatch to de-diiatlons
from tbe various uepots was hut 4-17 hours aul V7
ntloutes, thus shutting that under the new
system 1,07 uislls more were hnndled In
Una hours and 41 minutes less time. The average
flicurrs for each arrival show that although Hit more
malls w ere received by each of these steamers tn 1HU7
the malls were sent to their deitlnstlnns 21 hours and
4 1 minutes sooner thau under Ihe old system.
Tho efforts of tbe Post Oftlco Department to
Improve the Alaskan mall servico on account of
the Klondike gold discoveries nre explained at
length by Mr. Shallenberger. Agreements have
been marie with tbo Canadian Government for
expediting tbe transmission of malls to and
from Daw sou City. Under existing agreements
mails will bo forwarded from Seattle to Juneau
by steamer (our times a month or oftencr; from
Juneau to Dyea by steamer at lenst twice a
month; from Dyca to Dawson City once a
month, and from Juneau, via Dyea, to
Circle, once a month. It Is probaolo that
dog teams and sleds will be the only
practicable means of carrying tbo mulls
during the winter on the two routos last named.
In tho general advertisement now pending to
Erovlde service for the next term of four ears,
egiunltig July 1, 1H08, proposals have boon
Invited for currying the malls from Juneau
(AluBkal, by Dyea (Alaska), Dawson City (Can
ada), Forty Mile (Canada), and Fort Cudahy
(Canada), to Clrclo (Alaska), 008 miles and back,
once a month; also for eervico twlco a month
and once a week; the department to determine
what frequency of service It will contract for

Searrb Contest In Chranpcnkn It7 Flnilna
Rlcard'a riert at Maht OO Mllra at Sea.
Washington, Oct. 17. It Is two weeks Bince
LlcuU-Commandcr W. V-V. Kimball left New
York harbor with thrco boats of his torpedo
boat flotilla, fhey wero tho Cushlng, Erics
son, and Porter, nnd their first stopping place
was Hampton Ilosds. Four days later tho
Dupont Joined tho flotilla. Slnco then tho lit
tle squadron has been having a busy time,
tbolr visit of labt week to Annapolis, where the
naval cadets had an opportunity to obscrvo tho
workings of these dcllcato craft, coming ns a
sort of recreation after continuous work near
tbo Chosapcnko capes. Letters from tho fleet
havo reached Washington for more than a
week, and much Intcrost bos been aroused In
naval circlet in tho doings of the flotilla. Tho
run from Tompklnsvlllo to Hampton Itnads,
which began on Oct. 3, was made between two
gales, one that was spent and another that was
cumlng up the conBt. Tlio thrco boats under
Commander Kimball behaved well In the henvy
Bens, and mndo their port with no mishaps, and
were ready for duty on tho morning of the noxt
day.
Commnnder Kimball Is nn er.crgctlo ofllcer
nnd Is not disposed to exercise leisure In going
about bis tasks. Karl on tbo morning of Oct. 4
ho sent the l'ortcr from tho flotilla nncbnrago to
Hamilton lloads with Instructions to coino out
the next day nnd try to run pat tho KrIc3Son
and Cushlng. It vvas to bo what Is known nsn
"search contest." Tho next day was foggy,
and tho l'ortcr was hold at Hampton ltoads
by telegraph, wbllo the boats, with Command
er Klmbal', went poking around Chesapeake
Hay on a hunt for ancborngo grounds for tor
pedo boats. Oct. 0 was clear, and the Porter,
as tbe vcel searched for, nnd the Krlcsson
and Cunhlng, in tho cbatcrs, started out for a
contest. Tho search was sixty miles Inner.
The pursuing boats had un nllowunce of two
knots nn hour mure speed than tin1 Porter.
Tho Porter had nr nllowunce of live oIutsliihcr
courts. There win no certainty as to exactly
which direction tho Pnrtir would Mcer, nnd
tbo problem tn find her vvn worked out by the
ufo of -catch ciiivc-. the utility of which has
been nucstloncd by many jmvnl otlleers. It
U true that thu Held of opt rations was not
largo in thi' contest, but the tank of picking
up a torpedo boat from tho deck of another
torpedo boat un a hiry day is about tho
most dlulcult work ot that kind, owing to tho
limited liorUon, The Krleiion nnd Cushlng
wero soon nt work on tho curves that wcro
laid 'out. nnd after three hour-.' search Com
miiuder Kimball had thu satisfaction of picking
up the Porter.
The Iiuiunt arrived from New York tho next
day after u fa-t r in alinu-l entirely by day
light, tho run occi pylng only thirteen hours,
and work was planned lor further manoMtvrcs.
It whh decided, with the nppruvnl of tho nil
tliiiritlei iu Washington, to trj to sec of what
u i the tnrpodo bunts would oe in making n
quick conit'iiilTlcntluu with a fleet cruising ofT
tho Chcsaiieiiku cujicn uu where from twenty
to !xm ii ilea. Admiral sMinrd's fleet vvas on
the drill ground In thnt neighborhood, and
Commander k ball, with tvvo boots, tho
t nulling and Porui, inrted nut tu make, a sup
jneed deM" i ry 111' ucsjmlchc", much as they
would if lime were a war iung nn and It vvas
ndvisfhlf tn pend onlers to tho fleet cruising nt
sen, iho cxpirluent was tiled at night and
was most successful. Tbo fleet was ljing sixty
miles awuy, at the lower limits of the ilrlll
ground, and Commander Kimball delivered tho
eupiKsilltlouB despatch in u littlo over four
3' ours. It was a clever hit of work," which
rew praise from the otlleers of Sienni's fleet,
and It Is known that tlio Nnvy Department
olUcials wero much pleased to know tho result.
After theso two tests work was dono In tor
pedoing proper for several dayB nnd In adjust
ing and studvlng compasses. Then tho flotilla
moved up too Chesapeake, ("rilling In close
formation n bit ond journeying to Annapolis,
whero tho cadets bud an opportunity to wit
ness tho availability of theso vessels for name
of the tactical problems In naval wnrfaro
wlilch tbuy have been studying. It Is probable
that the flotilla will remain in or near Hampton
ltoads for some time, walling for other torpedo
boats to Join it. Tnciu was snmo expectation
that the .submarine boat Holland would Join
the flotilla unofficially If tho changes which
aro being Hindu in Hint craft will permit, she
will oln tho boats soon after Dec. 1, and then
prove by u scries of experiments her real value,
both In co-operating with a fleet and in acting
senaratelv as an engine of destruction.
Thus far Commander Kimball's littlo squad
ron has mot with no serious mishaps or break
downs. Torpedo boats nro mighty dcllcato
afTairr. and It is no secret that the Navy De
partment expects that there will bo delays
occasionally In earning out the plan laid out
for tho flotilla by soma break or accident to
ono or moro of the boats. It would bo most
unUBiial to conduct operations like thoso
planned without little annoyances of this kind.
Commander Kimball nnd his subordinate olll
ccrs ure exercising gio.it caution In this mat
ter, it Is well known that they dread seeing
somo trilling nccutent, tho repairs for which
may occupy only ft fow hours, blazoned by tho
sensational newspapers as nn evidence of tho
complete failure of tho expedition, Huih
stories havo been print' it about tho big shins,
and Kimball mn his men do tint Intend to glvo
occasion fur any about tho torpedo boat.tlotillu
If It can be bclood.

A young woman, apparently very much ex

Hospital nt 1 o'clock yesterday morning and
shouted:
"Send an atubulnnco to tha house quick;
two of tho girls nro dying."
"What hotisct" nskoel tho clerk.
"No. 129 West Sixty-fourth Btrcot."
"What's tho tunttcrl"
"Thoy drank carbollo acid nnd nro dying,"
sho answered.
Tho cleric called in Pollcctnin Itooney, who
was In front of tho hospital, and tho young
woman oxplalnod that sho and her two com
panions had decided to kill tjcmselves, bo she
went to a drug Btoro nnd got it pint of car
bolic ucld. Tho other two drank somo of tho
BtufT, sho said, but sho changed her mind, and
when the two others showed tho cllccts of the
poison sho hastened to tha hospital to save
their lives.
Policeman Itooney ran (o tho homo to seo If
the story was true, picking up Roundsman
Wtngato and Policomon James Mangnn on
Uio way. Tho threo bad somo dltllculty In
arousing tho Janitor, whom lliuy asked If some

"Not that I know of, ho answered, "hut

Tho iolIcemaa entered tho house, rapping at

Tha policemen ascended nnd rapped at a

"What d'yo want thla hour o' th' night," a
man's voice inquired.
"A dead girl." Jtangan replied.
".She's only dying, aud thcro're two of 'cm,"
corrected Itooney.
"Haven't got any. Inquire upstairs," cama
back from the room,
'Iho policemen went from door to door In
their quest for tho dying girls, and soon had the
house in an iipioar. There wcro a great ninny
Elrls, some of them blonde ones, 'In thohouso,
ut all protested that they bad no notion of dy

Tho policemen went hack to the hospital for

"I am Kitty Joyce, and my unclo's a Judge

Tho policemen and the hospital pcoplo rec

Fifteen luckless fishermen, loaded down with
ICO lobsters which foil below tho legal limit
in length, wcro taken Into custody yesterday
morning by Stuto Gaino and Fish Protectors
Kdgar F, Iilcks and John V. I.lsk, and all but
four remained In tho West Urlghton, 8. 1., lock
up yesterday evening, unublo to scttlo the
tines, which ranged from $10 up to $11(0, and
which In tho aggregate amounted to $740. All
tho prisoners nro New Yorkers, living on tho
upper cast side, and nearly all are German
cigarmakers. Unless they pay the fines they
nre likely to bo locked up In the county jail ono
day for each dollar of the sum which Is Im
posed on them.
Last week Protector Hicks received a letter
from a llbhcrman at Pleasant Plains notifying
him that tho law relating to tho trapping ot
lobsters was being violated doily by men who
came down from New York and fished with
crab pots. The Information was given that
tho men sometimes fished all night and went
away early tn tho morning, or came down on
tho first boat In the morning and left under
the cover of darkness. Largo catches wero at
tributed to them, and tho Informant said that
unless prompt measures wcro taken to stop the
Illegal fishing, the lobster grounds would bo
denuded of fry and small flub. Sunday, it
was said, was thu principal flsblng day.
Yesterday morning about 1! o'clock Hicks
