While the number at present is less than
. 600 officers and men. some 5000 have re
ceiyed military drill and instruction under
the present system since its adoption in 1874
This would enable the organization to be
largely increased from drilled men in case
of an emergency The drill of the troops is
materially imppoved by being brought to-
gether in encampments' one of which was
held during the past summer near Brighton,
and resulted successfully in the objects for
which il was established.
The disbursemen in this department on
account of the military fund for the last two
wears ending Sept. 80 1882. amount to the
sum of ninety nine thousand one hundred
(S99, al. 7U)
The reports OF the AdJutant and Quarter
master Generals very clearly and 1ntelli-
gently show the condition or the troops and
of the funds, and to these reference Us mad"

the board having charge of this work il was
determined TO prosecute Investigations in
the copper regions for the immediate future.
The services of Prof Charles Rominger were
engaged for another wear to conduct the

These scientific explorations and the pub
lication of the information thus obtained
have tended to develop the mining interest
