Washington, April S.-The correspond
ent of the Press today made inquiry of
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt
about the manning of the monitor Mon
tank after it shall arrive in Portland.
The Assistant Secretary says that the
United States will bear the expense of the
pay and subsistence of the company of
naval reserve that mans the vessel. For
one month this expense will be paid out
Of the fifty million dollar national defense
fund.- If, at the end Of that time war
exists, the members of the naval reserve
will be mustered into the regular auxili-
ary navy. 1t is the general opinion here
that there will be war sometime next
week, although the adjournment of the
House over until Monday has stopped the
fermentation locally somewhat. Next
Monday is expected to be great day in
Congress.

THE GRAND CANYON MINES.


 Few Days in Phoenix.
 Superintendent H. K. Mcdonald of the Grand Canyon copper mines IS at the Commercial and will remain In the city a few days. He succeeded Colin Timmons as superintendent of the prop critics owned by Lombard. GOode X Co. of Chicago, and has had charge of the development of the properties during the past year.
 We are opening up some new mines," said Mir. Mcdonald to report CT yesterday, "which are proving all that the surface ores promised. They are located about twenty miles from the Hogan mine and on the opposite side Of the canyon. We have named them the Dutton Park mines, Professor DuttOn having given the world one of the first scientific reports relative to the mineral deposits in the canyon. When we have fully developed these mines the question of transportation of ores will have to be solved. and that will mean large tramway running from these mines to the rim of the canyon.
 1.-The Anita camp, which is back from the canyon rim about fifteen miles, is receiving the most attention just now. The upper carboniferous stratas are being followed and the ore removed. As the ore bodies are found to go down we follow them, and we have in several places obtained perma- nent bodies of ore for depth of 100 feet. There is no question as to the disposition of the copper found on the surface workings. That it came from below no one can deny, and we believe that our prospecting will develop ore chutes in the lower carbOniferous de. posits, if we have not already made such discoveries.
 ''rhere are three camps in the Grand Canyon district owned by Lombard.

Code X CO.---the Alberta, CSrdenss and Nyack- and in ench of these camps there are number of excellent prop critics. Outside of the possessions of the company there are some good mines owned by individual parties, a number of which are now undergoing develop ment with good results.
 "Mr. Gwynne Dennis, secretary of the company, will arrive in Williams in week or so and We expect to begin work on the railroad from Williams to the canyon at an early date. The full- est development of the mines at the canyon depends on the completion of this road. We made an attempt some time ago to haul ore from the mines to the smelter at Williams by the use of n traction engine, but We found that 1t was too expensive. Water had to he hauled from Williams for the return trip. as there Is no water al the camp-. We expect to be able to develop water ai the Red butte, the landmark on the mesa from tn. rim of the canyon. The railroad will he built by April |. and then the smelter which the company has built at Williams will he started up. and the mines will be worked with greater energy and profit.
 ''rhe company will build a hotel xt the head of the Bright Angel trail and one at tha Indian Gardens in the can- yon for the accommodation of tourists. This will no doubt wonderfully increase the travel to the canyon" Phoenix Republican.

house in such state of smash; the
very clock had been thrown down by
these fellows in their furious hunt after
my mother and myself; apd though
nothing had actually been taken away
except the captains money-bag and a
little silver from the till, I could see
at once that we were ruined. Mr.. Dance
could make nothing of the scene.

Well, then, Hawkins, what in fortune
were they after? More money, I sup

NO, sir; not money. think" replied
I. "In fact, sir, I believe / have the

he. "1'll take it, if you like

began.
Perfectly right" he interrupted
very cheerily, perfectly right-a gen

come to think of it, L might as well ride
round there myself and report to him
or squire. Master Pew's dead, when
all's done; not that regret 1t, but he's
dead, you see, and people will make it
out against an officer of his majesty's
revenue, if make it out they can. Now,
I'll tell you, Hawkins, if you like, I'll
take you along"
1 thanked him heartily for the Of
fer, and we walked back to the hamlet
where the horses were. By the time I
had told mother of my purpose they
were all in the saddle.
"Dogger," said Mr.. Dance, ''you have
good horse; take up this lad behind
you"
AS soon as 1 was mounted, holding on
to Dogger's belt, the supervisor gave
the word, and the party struck out at
a bouncing trot on the road to Dr.

There was a date at one end of the line
and at the other sum of money, as in
common account-books; but instead of
explanatory writing only a varying
number of crosses between the two.
On the 18th of June, 1745, for instance,
sum of e 20 had plainly become due
to some one, and there was nothing but
six crosses to explain the cause. In
a few cases, to be sure, the name of a
place would be added, as ''Offe Carac-
cas-" or a mere entry of latitude and
longitude, as ''62 degrees, II minutes.
20 seconds, 10 degrees 2 minutes 40 sec
onds.''
The record lasted over nearly 20
years, the amount of the separate en-
tries growing larger as time went on,
and at the end grand total had been
made out after five or six wrong adj
ditiOns, and these words appended:
Bones his pile"
81 can't make head or tail of this
said DIR. Livesey.
1.-THE thing is clear as MONDAY"
cried the squire. This is the black
hearted hounds account-book. These
crosses stand for the names of the
ships or towns that they have sunk or
plundered. The sums are the scoun-
drel's share, and where he feared an
ambiguity, you see he added something
clearer. 'Offe Caracas now; you see,
here was some unhappy vessel boarded
off that coast. God help the poor souls
that manned her-coral long ago."
Right" said the doctor. See what
it is to be a traveller. Right And the
amounts increase. you see, as he rose
in rank"
There was little else in the volume
but q few bearings of places noted in
the blank leaves toward the end, and

Spanish moneys to a common value.

The paper had been sealed in several
places with a thimble by way of seal:
the very thimble, perhaps, that had

and there fell out the map of an island,
with latitude and longitude, soundings,
names of hills and bays and inlets, and
every particular that would be needed
to bring a ship to safe anchorage
upon its shores. It was about nine
miles long and five across, shaped, you

So a big pigeon pie was brought in
and put on side-table, and I made a
hearty supper. for I was as hungry as
a hawk, while Mr.. Dance was further
complimented, and at last dismissed
''And now, squire" said the doctor.
"And, now. Livesey," said the squire,
in the same breath.
Zone at a time, one at a time"
laughed DR.. Livesey. You have heard
of this Flint, suppose?''
Heard of him!" cried the squire.
Heard of him. you say. He was the
bloodthirtiest buccaneer that sailed.
Blackboard was child to Flint. The
Spaniards were so prodigiously afraid
of him. that, tell you, sir. was some
times proud he was an Englishman.
I've seen his topsails with these eyes,
off Trinidad, and the coward1y son of
rum-puncheon that I sailed with put
back-put back, sir. into Port of
Spain"
''Well, I've heard of him myself, in
England said the doctor. But the
point is, had he money?'
Money!" cried the squire. "Have
you heard the story? What were these
villains after but money? What do they
care for but money? For what would
they risk their rascal carcasscs but
money!"
THAT we shall soon know" replied
the doctor. But you are so confound-
eddy hot-headed and explanatory that
cannot get word in. What want to
know is this: Surprising that I have
here in my pocket some clew to where
Flint buried his treasure, will that
treasure amount to much ?''
Amount, sir!" cried the squire cit

VERY well,'' said the doctor. Now,
then, if Jim is agreeable, We'll open
the packet" and he laid it before him
on the table.
The bundle was sewn together, and
the doctor had to get out his instru-
ment case and cut the stitches with his
medical scissors. 1t contained two
things-a book and sealed paper.
First of all we'll try the book OBJ
served the doctor.
The squire and I were both peering
over his shoulder as he opened it, for
DR.. Livesey had kindly motioned me to
come round from the side table, where
had been eating, to enjoy the sport of
the search. On the first page there
were only some scraps of writing, such
as a man with pen in his hand might
make for idleness or practice. One was

Queen Elizabeth was not the angelic

was red, her temper red-hot. She some

She frequently swore at her maids, and
sometimes struck, kicked and pinched
them. Mary Stuart, of Scotland, was
not a beauty. She had cross eyes, and,
TO save the trouble of having her hair
dressed, cut it off close to her head and
wore a wig. When, after her death,
the eXecutioner lifted her head to show
