OF GEN. MILES
Interesting Facts About Pa
cifc Coast Troops.
A NUMBER OF SUGGESTIONS.
Millions Ought to Be Spent In the
Construction of Coast
Defenses.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 30. The annual
report of Brigadier General Nelson A.
Miles, commanding the division Of the
Pacific, was made public to-day. He
states there are six thousand troops in
this division, and that the administra-
ton of military affairs has been satisiac-
tory. He declares u suitable and imme-
diate appropriation should be made for
concentration where it is advisable to To-
cate troops in large garrisons, and states
that points should be occupied near large
bodies of Indians and on Mexican and
Canadian frontiers, and along the Pacific
coast.
The general calls attention to the dis.
proportionate appropriation for one
fourth of the army serving in the divi-
sion of the Pacific during the past fifteen
years. and he gives figures showing that
the divisions of the Atlantic and the
Missouri have in that time received for
improvements, fortiiications, etc, S2l,-
100000 while the division OF the Pacific
has received but SS05, 600.
He recommends that $4,000 be ap
propriated for this division for the con-
struction of quarters and barracks.
The report deals at some length with
the subject of desertions, and the general
makes n number of recommendations
among them being that enlisted men
who have served five years and passed
the necessary examination be commits
stoned second lieutenants and receive
honorable discharges if no vacancies are
open for them.

territory and the Pacific seaboard, and
between the Columbia river on the

Uncompleted portions of all these

which will control this importantne neld
1t is understood that all the transcpn.
tinental lines entering the Northwest

to all, including the Northern Pacific
access upon even terms to this exceed
ingly rich section of country, a plan
which the projectors of this enterprise
feel certain will subserve the best inter

the Portland, Seattle g. Northern rail-

greatest benefit upon the country tribu.

COAST DEFGNsEs.

The report closes with lengthy state
ment on the subject of coast detenses.
The general says "The condition of
this coast is one to tempt the ayarice
and cupidity of any fourth-rate naval
power on the globe, and that it could be
occupied by any first-class naval power
is n fact apparent to any thoughtful,
well informed citizen"
II is estimated that it would cost
S3O,0os,oO0 to put the coast in proper
condition of defense. General Miles
makes the following recommendations
That $780, 900 be appropriated to secure
titles on strategic points necessary to be
occupied for coast defense.
That 81 600, 900 be appropriated for the
construction OF gun factory on the Pa
ciiic coast.
That 1925, ,O00, 900 be appropriated for
the construction of the most improved
and effective guns and war material.
The report of Major John |. Rodgers on
the subject of coast defense Is submitted
with General Miles report, and contains
the following estimates of the cost oi
land defenses on the Pacific coast;
san Francisco, S15, ,633,0 900.
Columbia river, 81, ,555,OOO.
San Diego, $4,000.
Puget Sound, S1l, $4,000.

MINING NOTES.
A Nugget Found Weighing Ten Ounces
andsrhree pennyweiRhts,


Messrs. Goldsby and McDiarmid, say s
the CGur dAlene Sun, who have a lease
on an old channel wash claim on the
ridge between Missoula and Dry gulches,
half mile west of Murray, picked up
handsome chunk of gold in their sluices
on Tuesday which weighed ten ounces
and three pcnnyweights. The piece
contains very little quartz, is about two
inches long, one inch wide and about
one-half inch thick. Its value, accord
ing to weight, would be about Sl75, at
the rate of S17 an ounce, but without tho
quartz it will not go over Sl6o.
The "slug" is the largest we
have any knowledge of since the
one picked up last May by the Simmons
brothers in the old channel wash claim
at tho head of Dry gulch, which weighed
twenty ounces and was valued at about
$500 with the quartz 1t contained AS
MIR. Miller says, Tuesdays pickup Is IA

BILE addition to the Bank of Murray's $
collection of golden potatoes dug out of
