MONTEREY ILL
BE BESIEGED,
Federals Will Evacuate City of Tam
pico as Rebels are Soon to Take
Up March Toward City.
EL PASO, Tex., April 4. Wireless
messages from Torreon i.o Chihuahua
were picked up today stating that
General Villa’s army were in complete
possession of the city of Torreon.
Fifteen hundred rebels were killed
and 4.U00 wounded during the cap
ture of the city. The casualties dur
ing the fighting in the streets of the
city were very heavy owing to the
advantageous positions selected by
the federals prior to the entrance of
the rebels.
General Velasco and a small squad
of the regular army broke through
he lines of the rebels and escaped.
When the federal army had evacuat
ed the city General Velasco was cut
off with his command and surrounded
by the rebels. The loss to his detach
ment in their dash through the ranks
of the enemy was appalling.
Immediately after securing posses
sion of the city General Villa ordered
that federal prisoners who had been
captured at Saltillo be set to work
cleaning up the streets of the city
and burying the dead in order to pre- i
vent pestilence. Owing to the long
engagement, during which business
was totally suspended, the supplies in
the market have been totally ex
hausted and food is being rushed to
the city. •
TORREON. April 4.-General Villa,
who led the rebels in their capture
of- the city, has announced that the
army will he prepared immediately
to* take up the attack against the
city of Monterey. When the deferals
evacuated the city they left a great
store of ammunition behind as well
as 'a number of heavy guns.
WASHINGTON, April 4.—Admiral
Fletcher, commanding the -United
states squadron at Tampico, has
1 wired the State department that he
has been informed by federal officers
that owing to the defeat of the fed
crais at Torreon the garrison at
Tampico would be abandoned. The
F army will proceed to the southward
and will join the remnants of the fed
eral army which was driven from

Bottom of Snaft—First of Port WeBs Properties to Reach Producift# ‘ • *
Stage—Thirty-three Pounds of Gold Brought to Valdez.
! . . t 1 '» i ‘mfi* . < r *
A gold brick valued at $8,500 was
brought to the city yesterday t*y Ray
Millarad from the Granite Gold Min
ing company’s mine on Hobo bay, in
the Port Wells district. This is the
first bullion to be brought front the
Port Wells district and is attracting
much attention. Its arrival marks
another milestone in the development
of the mineral resources of the Valdez
district. The brick is the result of a
clean up from a twelve day run with
a 7-foot slow speed Lane mill. The
ore run through was taken from the
tunnel and shaft 190 feet below the
surface and averaged approximately
$42.00 per ton. The ore body shows
a width of seven feet in tt\e bottom
of the shaft.
The story of the development of the
Granite Gold Mining Company’s prop
erty from a promising prospect locat- j
ed amidst heavy timber to a pro
ducer in less than two years, is but j
a repetition of the history of the Cliff :
mine. The name of Millard is close- !
!y connected with both properties. ,
The Cliff has produced more than j
$800,000 during the past four yearsit
From present indications the Hobo
bay property promises to eclipse even
that brilliant, record. i;
The property was discovered dur
ing the summer of 1912 by Mark Ta
tum and Jack Irvin. The ledge, where;
it outcropped, was small but showed
very rich values. They shipped 11
tons to the Tacoma smelter and re
ceived a net return of $196 per ton.
Senator B. F. Millard and associates
became interested in the property
and one year ago took it over and
immediately began development on a
large scale. A tunnel was driven
which tapped the ledge at a depth of
approximately 140 feet below the sur
face. The ledge, which showed a
width of 14 to 18 inches at the out
crop was found to have widened to
four feet and carry high values. While
an upraise was being made to pro
vide air for the shaft a body of ore
carrying values of thousands of dol
lars per ton was encountered. The
high grade was sacked and put to one
side, where it is still covered with
snow. The ore from which the bul
lion was extracted was largely taken
from the shaft and tunnel, no ef

ecupe, .an e*ce»-,
tional cleanup, but rather a fair av
erage of.thef ope., y
The ^oinutlon p£ the Gr^nitepr^
erty, according to all accepted min
ing authorities, promises great depth.
The walls are granite and slate, the
granite forming the hanging wall. The
rock breaks-well to the work of the
miners. The property is equipped with
a 7-foot slow speed Lane mill, which
has handled an average of eleven
tons per day since the mill was start
ed. When the buildings were erect
ed they were so constructed that oth
er units could be added if develop
ment warranted. Gas engines are
used to furnish power, but a splen
did water power, capable of operat
ing the machinery all the year round,
is part of the company’s holdings and
will be harnessed when advantageous
to do so.
The mine is located on Hobo bay,
in the Port Wells district, and pos
sesses many natural advantages for
the cheap reduction of Its ores. Be
fore the ground could be cleared for
the site of the mill heavy timbers,
which were used in the buildiDgs, had
to be cut down. The mill is located
about \ 450' yards frqju' tide water,
where'ocean steamers ftAifta’ no diffi
culty in landing the machinery. A
tram, ‘460 ■ feet long with a drop of
about 450 feet, conveys the ore from
the tunnel to the ore bunkers. The
shaft is now down a depth of 46
feet below the bottom of the tun
nel and the ledge has widened to 7
feet. The shaft will be continued
for several hundred feet. 'Should the
ledge continue a working tuntlel will
be driven from an advantageous point
near the mill. Thirty men are em
ployed at present, but it is announ
ced that when improvements now
contemplated have been installed the
number of workmen will be increased
to 40.
The success which has attended the
enterprise of the Granite Gold Min
ing Company means much to the en ;
tire Valdez mining district, but es
peciallv to the i’ort Wells section.
There are scores of promising pros- |
pects in that locality which have!
shown splendid values under devel
opment and the success of the Gran
ite will serve to attract attention to
the properties and enable the owners
to interest capital in their holdings.

DELEGATE SAYS
MATTER IS URGENT
i.
Believes Valuable Time Will be Lost
If Department Undertakes to In
vestiate the Canneries.
WASHINGTON. April 4. Delegate
Wickersham, of Alaska, appeared be
fore Ihe House Committee on Ter
ritories today and urged quick action
on legislation governing the taking
of salmon in Alaskan waters. He de
clared that it was not necessary to
permit the canneries and fishermen
to operate under the present laws,
while the matter was being investi
gated by the department. Valuable
time would be lost and he believed
the department had sufficient data
at Its command from which to form
ulate new regulations.
The delegate said that the use of
traps should be regulated in order to
prevent the extermination of the sal
mon. The number of canneries op
erating along the coast of Alaska are
increasing every year and the num
ber of inspectors to compel the fish
ermen to observe the' laws is too
limited. Many canneries were visited
only once during the fishing season by
Inspectors "fowing to the ^enormbus
distance which they had to travel and
the lack of means of transportation
at their disposal.

the Biggeit Salary of Any
V-. .1 1 •
Base Ball Player.
NEW YOKE, April 4. The long
disputed question as to who is the
highest salaried man in baseball has
at last been answered through the
medium of the income tax, and th ■
honor belong to John J, McGraw;
manager of the New York Giants
Pew will dispute McGraw's right to
this distinction, as It is most likely
rival front the standpoint of results
is a part owner of a ball club—Con
nie Mack —anti hence he cannot be
figured from the salary standee, nr
alone At various times Prank Chance.
Tris Speaker. Ty Cobb and other no!
ables have been put forward as tlm
game’s highest priced star. Since the
Federal League came into activity Jog
Tinker has been a contender for the
high-salaried honors, but all doubt
seems to have vanished with Me
draw’s declaration before the income
tax representative. The figure is $30.
000 per year.
McGraw drew down this princely
stipend from the National Exhibition
Company last year for piloting the
Giants to their third successive cliam
pionship in the National League. He
will receive a similar amount for the
coming season, and he has a contract
guaranteeing him the same money for
three years to come. He signed the
contract last winter a short time be
fore the Giants departed for ti;e
training camp, but neither President
Hempstead nor Manager McGraw
would unnotince the figures. At the
time he was asked to sign a hew con
tract Manager McGraw was under
contract which had two more veats
to run. Various estimates were made
about the new contract, and $20,001
was generally accepted as the likely
figure. McGraw neither affirmed nor
denied the rumor until he was oblig -
ed to conform to the income tax law.
McGrGaw’s income from baseball
for 1913 was $33,500. This included
his $30,000 salary, the share he re
ceived from the —-ond's series, and
from exhibition games during the
playing season. He received no per
centage from the New York Club. This
disproved the frequently expressed
idea that McGraw was a stockholder
in the National Exhibition Company,
as the company controlling the Giants
is known.
