Dear Sir-Will you be kind enough
to give space to the following state
ment:
On the End inst, man signing him
self as B. II. Luther sent piece of
rock to my office from DeLamar to be
assayed for gold and silver. assayed
his rock or quartz and found it to con-
tain trace of gold and 40 or 40 of an
ounce silver to each ton of such ma
terial. On the 9Th inst. I received a
very unl1ind letter from Luther, full Of
the vilest expressions, such as are in
dulged in by the lowest class of human
ity. Among other things he, Luther,
says, or suggests, that he believes his
sample was not assayed, but thrown
out the back window and, further, that
"that rock must mean that piece was
assayed by others and always went s2S
a ton in gold and no silver" I will now
state that his sample is in reserve in
my office, as all other samples are, and
it will prove, at any time, him to be
what he would not like to see published.
We cannot forget ourselves to stoop to
the low and vile, but will grant him the
charity of silence until he learns to be
a gentleman.
wish to state to all miners and pros
pectors that my office is fully equipped
with the finest balances and most APP
proved furnaces, and myself with the
experience of a lifetime, and that it is
always a pleasure to have good results
for my patrons; but under no circum-
stances will I give people figures if
their sample do not justify. None
other but depositor is allowed to
learn results Of assays, it does not mat
ter whether quartz, ore, bullion, jewel
ry or anything else that is assayed.

Reforms Proposed by the Secretary
of War.

Harpcr's Weekly.
n II Is worth the while OF the United
states TO maintain an army. II is worth while
to make Il and keep 1t efficient The army
in this country ought to be nucleus that
will be Of value to whatever large force may
be called into the field at any time for active
| operations. At present II is nearly as In
effective an the law can make IT, and for
many years secretaries OF war and command
ing generals have urged upon congress, with
out effect. the necessity Of placing 1t upon a
modern footing
This year. however It is said that there is q
chance for legislation. Secretary Lamont has
taken advantage of this, aud has prepared
and presented the most sensible and practical
bill that has yet been before congress. II
proposes the smallest increase In the number
OF troops that Is consistent with any reform
at all
The cavalry of the United States army has
been its most effective and its best organized
branch. The infantry is still organized as 1t
was in 1921. All other modern armies have
adopted the three battalion organization and,
in some states at least. the militia is thus
divided But the United states regular in
fantry continues to stumble along with an
obsolete formation, although II is expected
TO be the heart and brain of any volunteer
force that may be raised for future emergen-
cies. Mr.. Lamont proposes no change in the
cavalry arm. but recommends the addition
of two new companies to each infantry reei-
ment and the remaining of the two com
panes of each regiment that were made
skeletons. This would add 100 new COM
panes, and would increase the number Of in
fantrymen from 13,125, the present force, to
16.325
The arm of the service that most needs eX-
tension and reorganization is the artillery
The whole force now available for manning
our coast defennes is five regiments num-
bering 4025 men. The secretary proposes
to add two regiments of about 500 men each
making the artillery force 5.075. Out of this
force must be taken fourteen light batteries
for field service 50 that there would he
seventy batteries for coast defense. The ar
tillery ha3 now become the most important
branch of the army in view of the fact that
it must be depended on for furnishing the
first line of defense on land in the case of
foreign war. The secretary's bill provides a
force OF about 1000 men for manning and
caring for the new works. These men will
necessarily become expert gunners. and will
be the teachers of the volunteers, who will
be called in to man the defensive works now
contemplated. and the full manning of which
will require 90 900 enlisted men. The secre
tary says that the seventy batteries constitute
the minimum force that can care for the new
works and the new guns. and the smallest
force that can furnish nucleus for the artil
lery arm of the service in case of war
The measure would provide only 10000
soldiers. and if congress is not bent on
maintaining the present obsolete and ridicu
lous organization it will enact the bill into
