troll the provinces of Psnar del Rio. Ha-

Tackled to the Appropriation.
WASHINGTON. March ls.-By request
OF Secretary Long. the issue as to the en-
acsment into law of the naval personnel
bin will not be precipitated until the naval
appropriation bill is passed by the house.
This change OF view of the administration

Long.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt went to
the capitol with the xepress purpose. I'M

the Incorporation Of the entire personnel
bill In the appropriation bill.
He had brief personal interview with
Chairman Boutelle. ana previous to Mr..
Rooseveit's appearance before the commit-
tee the two had a talk with Speaker Reed
that lasted an hour and a half. The speak
er informed them that the bill. as an
amendment. would be subject to point
of order. and after some further discussion
as 10 securing a rule later OH. Mr.. Roose-
welt and Mr.. Boutelie returned 10 the COM
mittee where the latter advised against
putting any portion OF the personnel bill
In the appropriation measure.
Some days ago Secretary Long. Capt
Crowpinshield and some OF the other naval
chiefs had a hearing before the committee.
in which the secretary stated he would be
glad 10 have the entire personnel bill put
III as part OF the appropriation. Failing
that. there were certain features of that
measure OF which the necessity is great,
which he wanted inserted now.
He subsequently submitted to the COM
mttee formal provision containing the
Items deemed necessary at this time. and
which he had verbally recommended
These were TO provide on the appropriation
bill for authority for the following Oms-
sion Of two years cruise. comprising &
third of the course Of training OF the naval

man: third. increasing the engineer corps
by 100 skilled machinisis: fourth, increas-
ing the number OF assistant paymasters
by fifteen; and fifth. adding twenty acting
assistant engineers. The recommendations
made by the administration would bring
twenty-five cadet engineers and sixty-two
line cadets Into immediate commission.
These recommendations. except the last
two were set aside today. at the reques.
OF the administration TO differentiate en-
tIreiy the two bills.
The only Items. formerly recommended.
that will be included. will be those re-
latIng 10 assistant paymasters and the as
sistant engineers. which are considered in
the light of emergency provisions
Representative Foss OF Illinois, chairman
OF the subcommittee. gave formal asSur-
ance that soon as the appropriation bill
had been passed by the house his sub

The Cascade Mine.

Word comes from Marysvale that
RUDE De Witt and Miles Durkee are
hard at work on the Cascade mine in
Bullion canyon, and that the boys have
over SO tons of second-class ore on the
dump which will be run through "a
concentration at an early day.
1t is learned that in the Cascade a
flve-foot body of mineral is exposed,
three of which is low grade, while the
other two is shipping ore. and as soon
as the roads settle it is the intention to
begin shipments with the expectation
of making regular consignments dur
ing the season. some of the ore being
quite high in grade.

ough work is being done in the Dalton,
and it is the prevailing belief in the
camp that this property viii make a

In the near vicinity of the Dalton

The Herald is informed that these gen
tlemen are preparing to work this
promising prospect on an extensive
scale this summer, and as a fine ledge
of free milling and tellurium gold has
been uncovered in the mine it is almost
a certainty that within the next few
months the owners will be able to be-
gin shipments or have enough mineral
to justify the erection of re-
duction works on the ground.
