The Brooklyn Eagle pays the fol
lowing handsome compliment to a
worthy son of Mineral Point: For |
the past three weeks or more the
Coast Survey steamer Eudeavor has
been in the lower bay, and gangs of
men. under the directions of Captain |
G.. C. HanuS, have been surveying such !
portions of the harbor rs We're not
covered by them when surveying here
last season. Captain Hanus. was
told, is the best surveyor in the navy
and was sent to this harbor because of |
the Importance attached to work. !
Millions of dollars may not be appro- |
priated according to the recommended !
ton which he will make. He has been
on duty a great deal in Washington
where he did office work as assiduouSly
as President Cleveland follows and
vetoes the work of Congress. If his
name has appeared three times in the
New York papers in the last ten years
it has escaped my notice. while officers
in both Army and Navy with nothing
to recommend them but push, are con-
stautly before the public"
