Hopkins grammar school in New Ha-
ven for a period of one year, when he
was appointed naval cadet at Annapo-
lis. He prepared for his cadet eXamina-
ton in st. Johns military academy in
Annapolis, and entered the naval acad-
envy in September, 1896. Unfortunately,
their previous home in New Haven was
in a malarial district, and the Catron
boys became impregnated with malaria.
The effects of sickness so debilitated
John that he found his duties and stud
les too irksome for his constitution, and
in 1897 he resigned from the institution.
A few months of rest brought back his
health, and with it came the ambition
to take up his studies again, and in Sep
tember of the same year he entered Yale
college. which he left to enter the vol
unteer army in 1898. He received a
commission as ID lieutenant of company
G. from Governor Otero July II, having
previously succeeded, with the aid or
his father, Hon. T. b. Catron, in CIV
inc the company the full quota or re-
cruits required. He speaks both Ger
man and Spanish huently.

then forwarded to Washington for ac-
ton by the War department.
Every n seems to be enjoying better
health than when the service was en-
tered, and it is thought that the winter
campaign in Cuba will improve, rather
than harm the boys, physically.
Lieutenant Page B. Otero has been
promoted to the rank of major.
Lieutenant John w. Catron, the idol
of company G, and the pride of the
whole regiment, has been in command
of company H, while Captain Fall at
tended to official duties on the summary
court martial. If young Catron remains
in the service any length of time, his
already exceptionally brilliant career
will receive additional lustre.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
John Walz Catron was born in Santa
Fe, n. NJ, February 4, 1878. Until Is
years of age, his education was acquired
through private tutorage in Santa Fe
and in Europe. While in Europe, as a
child, he attended school in Heidelberg,
and in 1912 pursued a course of study
in the Collegio ~Politecnequa in Malaga,
Spain.

THE monotony of regular drill has

1.-The LIST territorial regiment is anx-
iously awaiting orders to proceed to
Cuba. Nearly all the other regiments
which the boys from the west have
been associated with have already pre-
coded them, and the Sd brigade, I'd di-
vision of the LIST army corps, of which
the list territorial is a part, will doubt
less leave before January 10.
The regiment has now passed the
sixth month of service and the boys are
tired of being professional soldiers in
time of peace, but it is not thought that
the War department will consider the
recent almost unanimous petition for
muster out. Orders have been issued
for constant drilling, embracing shelter
tent, advance, rear guard, Cossack post,
outpost and regimental skirmish drills.
In target practice, the LIST territorial
excels the other regiments in the brig
AIDE. So far nothing but the 20O-yard
range has been used and the average
gained is II out of a possible 20. The
best average of the I'd Missouri and Sd
Mississippi is IA out of a possible 20,
Considerable rivalry is INDUCED in on
the target range by the various compa-
MES, and this rivalry extends to making
camp with shelter tents. The New Mex
leo battalion recently made camp in the
incredibly short time of three minutes
| and 80 seconds from the time the COM
| mand, make camp was given until
every man stood at attention in front OF
| his tent with his blankets and ponchos
neatly folded inside.
The applications for discharges of all
men with families are approved by the

of his treatment there as follows:

the boys before they leave for Cuba.
There were a great many of the volun-
teers here, but very few fatalities re-

possible. There are now only about ESQ

last, after years of work, the effort to
subdue it was abandoned
The officials, anxious to save as much as
possible, cut off the burning workings
making them practically an island of fire
in an oasis Of coal for there are other rich
veins in close proximity to the Baltimore
Had the fire been totally neglected, 1t
would, in time, have spread to these other
veins A great gangway was built around
the mass Of coal the experts considered
beyond saving, enclosing forty acres of
the richest anthracite in the world, which
was left slowly to burn itself out.
Some idea of the extent of forty acres
of coal can be obtained from the fact that
the fire has been burning steadily for TWEEN
ty-five years, and il is estimated that 1t
win last for another quarter of century.
The valde of this mass of coal Is placed at
81, 600 and the cost of fighting it the
caring for it, has amounted to the same
sum.
The work of watching this great fire is
interesting. As soon as the big Sangway
encircIng the fire was built, water pipes
we're placed along it's entire course, and
every hour in all the years that have inter-
vened a strong force of water is kept in
them At convenient distances are taps.
All this is made necessary for another fea-
ture of the fire. AS the coal burns away
it falls in smouldering ashes, until the roof
of rock that confines il IS visible twenty
feet overheard. AS soon as there is fall
of several feet exposing the roof one of
the watchmen, whose duty 1t Is to tramp
unceasing around the circuit of the fire
watching for just such thing, taps the
water pipe, and plays water upon it until
the great smouldering mass is cold. Then
gangs of men are sent in to set up mas
sive timbers. These big props, some OF
them twenty inches in diameter, support
the roof, in place Of the coal, which has
been burned away.
The surface of the ground over this
great fire Is wei populated; there are
many houses on it, and much valuable
property. If the roof was allowed to re-
main unsupported, as the coal burns away
1t would cave in, with possible loss of life
This is what the company must guard
against constantly, for not only would
the surface be affected but there is every
possibility that the drag" of the cave-in
would affect other portions of the mine.
