CRANEY ISLAND AS IT Is.
Craney Island is about two miles be-
low West Norfolk. ana the white sands
of its Northern beach are washed with
the mingled waters of the James ana
ire stream flow; between Norfolk
county and the island. linus cutting it
OFT from the main land.
This stream is between two and three
hundred yards wide at its widest
point. and between ono hundred and
two hundred yards at the narrowcst
point. The stream is shallow. and can
be fordod at almost any tide, thus
making the island accessible to We
hicles Mt almost all times.
MIR. ASHBERRY HAS CHARGE.
Mr.. i. l.. .Nshberry has charge of the
island, having been appointed watch
man by the Government: and he also
does soma private Watching for Il
large oyster planter. Mir. Ashbcrry
has been on the island for the pas; ten
years and is an exceedingly polite and
courteous official. lie is thoroughly ac-
quanted with the island, and talks
very interestingly about the old his
toric place.
Crarey Island light house is located
northeast of the island, but Mr. Ash
berry has nothing To do with this. lie
carries the keys 10 ali the government
buildings on the place.
ABANDONED IY GOVERNAIcNT.
When the Spanish American war was
declared last Year the island was aban-
donod rs magazine QUrter, as it was
thought the place was too much ex-
posed for war times. The ammunition
was all removed to magazines at ana
near the navy yard. and is
now slowed in the new mag
azinc houses just built on the
southern Branch near the navy yard
Since the removal of the Government
property the island has been practI-
cally deserted, the buildings all being
closed. and the only resident being the

 stated to be the Globe Minerals Ex-
 ploration company, ard MT. Hill is in ! lereSted in the promotion of the cCm-

 Of the vendor company. The price
 charged is 8210,000, payable as to G95,OO0 in cash and the balance in 1 shares out of a nCm:nal capital of 1 / 1000, which leaves $50. 900 for
 working capital Details are given of ! the manner in which the cash portion Of the purchase price is to be applied. | This is undoubtedly most proper. al- though, perhaps, tt is too unusual, and
 we Wer about to congratulate the di- rectoT5 and al concerned in promotion 1 Of this company for so doing. They. however, have prevented us from talk | ing this course by not showing who is really bene6ting in the application of this cash The particulars are as fol- lows:
 Payments to original holders or the Ray, Innes and Taylor claims. t 65. .952; vendors outlay in acquisition and de veicpment of properties, together with provision for estimS ted expenditures at the mines to April 30, 1899, e9,4 400; .estimated expenses attending the form aticn of this company and the issue of the capital, e16,000; vendors cash profit, subject to above estimates, e3, GAS; total. 395, ,000
 The share balance is divided between the owners of the Ray and Innes groups and the vendors A thing that is remarkable about the above state ment is that the vendors obtain 50 small a cash profit as e3,648 We should have liked to have known who
 fseiIe original owners who take the Z 65, ,952 are. So also as to the e16,- 900 which covers the issue of capital All we knew is that two of the direc- tors and MT. Hill are interested in the promctiOn, and that the who.e of the capital offered for subscription has been underwritten by directors of this company.
