Strike in Pine Nut.

The famous blue leadr has been
struck in Pine Nut and Mr.. Wishart
thinks he has solved the Pine Nut prob
lem.
About all can say said he, sis that
the supply Of gold yielding dirt is SEEM
lngly ~ineThaustible and | do not believe
there is another country anywhere that
offers the inducements of Pine Nut"
Then Mr.. Wishart went on to explain
Ihat he also believed that there were no
other placer regions where gold was
louho under the same conditions and
made the startling statement that there
was no gravel on the Heleza claim. and
neither was there quartz.
1t is just a conglOmoratiOn of decom-
posed quartz and lime-just dirt-and the
whole mountain seems to be of the same
material. l had considerable leisure
time while out there and would start out
in the morning with PICK and shovel

times and no matter where | took the
art from, when it was PANIED out there
would be a color or colors.
This gravel which bears gold in paying
quantities exists to a depth of from ten
to forty feet where it stops in a gravel
similar to bed rock.
Under this, however, the owners struck
a couple of days ago, what thew positi-
vely pronounce the blue lead of Califor-
MAJ and Mr.. Wishart is of the opinion
that they are indeed so fortunate, for the
blue lead" has never yet failed to Weld
lots of the yellow metal.

COMMERCIAL TREATY.
Ecuador and Chill to Form a Commercial
and Navigation Treaty-Certain
Articles Agreed To.

San Francisco, Dec. 2t.-The steam
er San Juan, from Central America,
brought news that the governments
OF Ecuador and Chill, with the purpose
of developing reciprocal commerce.
have resolved to form n commercial
and navigation treaty, naming for this
purpose their respective plenipoten-
tiaries. The president of the republic
of Ecuador, by his excellency, Senor
Carlos Freile Zldumbide, minister
plenipotentiary ad hoe, and the pres
ident of the republic of Chilli, by his
eXcellency, norDon Beltran Matthew,
have agreed to certain articles which
will result in materially beneftting
trade between those countries.
In consequence of the matter set
forth in the treaty the members of the
Manufacturers and Producers asso-
citation met yesterday and formulated
a letter which was addressed to the
secretary of state at Washington, set
ting forth San Francisco's advantages
az a shipping port for Central and

JOINT HIGH COMMISSION.
Prospects FOR Successful Issue Much
More favorable than They were
just Before Adjournment.

Washington, Dec. 23.-The next ses-
sion of the joint Canadian high COM
mission will be limited pretty closely
TO fortnight. Lord Herschell, the
British member of the commission, is
booked to sail for Europe on January
25. He can not delay longer in the
United States, for the reason that he
is obliged to attend the opening of the
Paris arbitration on the Venezuelan
boundary, beings one of the arbitrators.
There are indications that after all
the commissioners regard the pros
poets of reachingan agreement as very
much brighter than they did just be-
fore the adjournment of the session,
and the opinion is now expressed in
weIl-informed circles that before Lord
Herschell's departure a treaty will
have been completed, settling all the
points in dispute between the two
countries, and even making some
slight progress towards the attainment
of reciprocity.

FOR PORTO RICAN WATERS.
The Steamer Blake to Begin the Geodetit
Survey of the West India
Islands.

Baltimore, Nd, Dec. 23.-The coasl
and geodetic survey steamer Blake
left Baltimore yesterday for Porto
Rican waters. Her departure marks
the beginning of work by this govern.
ment in the new possessions, this be-
ing the first expedition sent to any OF
these islands for the purpose of max
ing surveys. Most of the Spanish pos
sessions have been poorly charted, and
the coast lines of Porto Rico, Cuba and
the Philippines contain many good
harbors of which little is known. Ac
curate surveys of these harbors
will be made by the government at
once.
The Blake has been fitting out at
Baltimore for several weeks. Surveys
by the Blake begin in the harbor OF
Jobos, which is reported to be the
finest harbor on the coast of Porto
Rico, but about which little is at pres.
ent known.

WAS SOMEWHAT PREVIOUS.
Maj. Russell Harrison Reprimanded 70,
Raising Old Glory and Ordered
to Pull it Down.

Havana, Dec. 22.-Maj. II. Harrison
the provost marshal, who on Tuesday
raised the Stars and Stripes over FIT
Atares, without orders and in contra.
vention of the promise of the United
States evacuation commissioners that
no American flags should be raised in
Havana or its suburbs until January
1. was to-day formally reprimanded by
Maj.-Gen. Lee, and was instructed to
lower the flag. Lieut.. Lee reported a
few hours later to headquarters that
the flag had been lowered. Neverthe-
less, at the hour of filing this dispatch
(4:30 p. n.y. it is still flying on a tall
staff over the famous fort, plainly visi-
BILE from the harbor and city.
Maj.-Gen. Lee having received a ca
BILE dispatch from Gen. Alger saying
that the secretary of war understood
that there are thousands of persons
starving in Havana, and directing him
to feed them without delay" imme-
diately ordered Lieut.-CoI. Wood to
distribute rations, and to make sys-
tematic efforts to feed the helpless,
carefully avoiding waste.
There are hundreds in Havana to-
day who, though Eot actually. starving,
are in a deplorable state of weakness
and disease, the effects of the cruel
recommendation policy. They need
hospital treatment, which is not al
ways available. Much of the wretch
edness in due to the neglected condi-
ton of the tenements.
Every day or so the relief distribu-
tors come upon dead bodies, terribly
emanciated. Two were found in the
suburb of Cerro yesterday. 1t is diff
ficult to distinguish between the pro-
fessional vagrant and the really de-
serving cases, but the committees with
local knowledge are able to render ex-
cellent service.
The Cuban colonel Raoul Arrange,
with 600 Cuban horsemen, paraded in
Jesus del Monte to day, and theE
marched out again to camp.
The United States transport Mime
waska, which left Savannah for Cuba
on December 10, with the Forty-nintt
Iowa regiment, arrived here this after,
noon.
To-day the Spanish transports Gu
dad de Cadiz and Neutria sailed for
Spain, the former with 1,2S6 men and
officers, bound for Santander, and the
latter with 1,033 for Cadiz.

in his hand and wonderingly tore it
open. 1t read as follows:
New York, Oct. 3. 1s95.-Office Of ]. W.
Penniman, Attorney and Counselor at Law.
Mr.. H. w. Allen, Oakville Corners Mich.
My Dear Sir: For the past two months
I have been looking for your address and
have just this day learned it. now
hasten to inform you of very agreeable
turn in your affairs. When your late Ia
mented father became involved in financial
difficulties one of the largest and most val
liable of his steamships, the Dolphin,
bound for the East Indies, was reported
lost III a tropical hurricane. Without at
tempting to inform you of details, which
I can better explain in person, will simply
say that the supposed loss, followed by
inability to obtain the insurance, came at
critical time and brought on the failure.
1t now transpires that the report was in
correct On the goth of July, only three
weeks after your fathers death, the Dol
phin arrived in this port with an exceed
ingly valuable cargo BY this unexpected
stroke of fortune you are again rich man.
/ have very gladly taken charge Of your
business interests, believing, sir, that yeu
would wish me to do so, and shall take
the nbarty .o act in this capacity until
near from you.
No doubt you will at once communicate
with me, but thinking it might be an ac-
commodation to have a little ready cash,
inclose draft on New York fer 81, ,000,
subject to your order. Awaiting your f1r-
ther instructions, am your ohedient serv-
ant, JOHN w. PENNIMAN.
Herbert read the welcome news in a
dazed sort of way. He reread it more
carefully, and as its full import dawned
upon him exultation took the place of
dependency in his breast. He picked
up the draft with feeling of elation.
''This is indeed New Years gift! This
little piece of paper is worth ten times
as much as / have earned this whole
term. No more need to worry for the
future! The news is too good to be
true. Now I can bid defiance to that
august body, the school board of the
Brown district"
Just then his eye happened to rfHt
upon some very neat algebraic char
acters on the blackboard which he had
purposely directed not to be erased"
IN order to attract the wondering atten-
ton of his visitors thaA afternoon. An
Instant change came over his spirits.
s.Still I would have ex&pyed another
term in this district a sharae that
ones efforts are SO ppres. atedi',
The gathenng a winters day

and he began s.er up his books

Dor of Director Hathaway and the two
farmers were firm friends. So when the
squire's son began to make disparaging
remarks about the teacher. and the ia
ther, whose faith in his only son was
unbounded, had become prejudiced
against the young man, he mentioned
the matter to the director and easily
persuaded that worthy official, whose
acquaintance with the teacher had ex-
tended little farther than had been in
cidental to the duty of making a con-
tract with him, that young Allen" was
not ''it pers ON to conduct our school,
lie is too familiar with the scholars and
hasn't enough dignity to fill such re-
sponsible position"
Director Hathaway was a man of
promptness and decision, whose will
was law with the board, so when he
called his colleagues together and de-
livered the opinion that the teacher was
too young and inexperienced to con-
duct the winter term, the assessor and
the moderator meekly acquiesced,
though they both felt in their hearts
that the young man had performed
his duties well.
So it came about during the last week
of the term that Mr.. Allen had been
given formal notice that his services
would not be needed any longer. He
had been greatly surprised and morti-
fed at this announcement, and his pu-
pills had shown their disapproval of the
boards arbitrary action in a way that
threatened open revolt-all but John
Warren, who could hardly repress his
exultation at the turn affairs had taken.
One year before this incident Herbert
Allen had been the favored son of a
rich merchant in an eastern city His
mother had long been in the grave and
Herbert had spent most of his boyhood
days in famous preparatory school.
just as he was ready to eE:-- college,
financial disaster came upon his father
resulting in his ruin and subsequent
death. This sudden blow of fate left
Herbert dependent upon his own re-
sources. Young and resolute in char
acter, he made his way to the west and
finally found the congenial work in the
country school which he had pursued
SO happily until cruel fate had again
thrown him upon a selfish world
without the means of employment.
Finally the young ex-teacher, as he
now felt himself to be, was aroused
from his reverie by rap at the door,
and before he could collect his wan
dering thoughts a curly-pated lad,
breathless from running, stumbled in
to the room with letter in his hand
''Say, teacher" said the boy, 81 was
down to the corners to get Dads mail
and Mr.. Jones wanted me to fetch this

THE DAMAGED BATTLEsHIP.
Workmen Already Engaged, and the Re-
pair of the Massachusetts Will
be Pushed to Completion.

New York, Dec. 24.-Navy yard en-
gineers went under the battle ship
Massachusetts in dry dock yesterday
and measured her damaged plates.
Workmen were there also, cutting out
rivets. Repair work will proceed night
and day next week. 1t is estimated it
will cost about $4,000 to put the ship
in order, and that the work will take
six weeks. The board of inquiry, of
which Commodore Pickering is presi-
dent, finished its work yesterday, and
forwarded the report to the secretary
of the navy. None of the members
would say anything about the findings.
