dent has determined to order 10 General
Gus during the coming summer have been
practically selected and no difficulty is ap-
pretended by the War department authori-
ties in securing the remaining 1000 by the
time they are needed The excellent out
look in Porto Rico and Cuba will in all
likelihood, permit the withdrawal of four
more regiments from those islands before
the summer is over and the 5000 thus OBJ
tained will fill the requirements, either by
being sent forward directly TO Manila or by
relieving domestic garrisons for service
across the Pacific
The lack OF transportation facilities con-
stitutes the greatest problem, but General
Otis fortunately does not require more than
10000 troops during the summer and by the
time he does need the remaining 5000 they
will be ready for him and the ships will
be available to transport them.

ROUGH RIDERS CAMP.
A Unique and Interesting Feature of the
 Crown Point

Jack Hanlon. superintendent of the Crown Point mine, arrived in town on Saturday night. The Grown Point mine is Col Brodie's mine. Mr. Han lon says the new ten-stamp mill is ar irving in inslallments and is being set up. Active operations will begin in about six weeks and at the outset not fewer than thirty men be employed. The Grown Point camp will be unique n one respect. 1t will be Rough Riders camp Before leaving for the east Col. Brodie instructed the super intendent to employ every man of his famous regiment who happened to come along. If there should be no em- ployment the superintendent is auther- ized to make some. for no Rough Rider who wants work must be turned away.
 It will no doubt soon become the most interesting camp in the territory. perhaps the most interesting in the world. There will be collected there the most complete and thrilling anec- dotes of the most picturesque military campaign of the century. The Grown Point. aside from the men who work in it. is bound to become d great camp. There is a wealth and abundance of ore found in but few regions of the great mining belt and there is an abundance of money for its develop ment. The camp will be tributary to Phoenix. Two Of the Rough Riders employed there are in town now suf- fering from recurrence of the fever contracted before Santiago. -Republi-
