The Navy Mans Life.

"Laymen call our life exciting and
think that we see lot of the world"
said the navy man, ''but it's a big mis-
take. What do we know of any of the
ports we visit? The pier. other boats
that may happen to be there at the
same time. and thesEnglish club Of the
town-thats all we see. And it's all
we know about. After you've touched
at few ports and gone through the
same performance over and over again,
you get mighty tired Of it. G..
"As for our life, what is it but a
perpetual club life? There are a few
professional club demands, but the rest
of our time is spent in much the same
way that Il man spends his at his club
in smoking, reading. in swapping
lies, in making oneself agreeable to
ones friends who may do him the hon.
CT of a visit and in making oneself
agreeable to some other fellows
friends who may do him the honor
of a visit-that's the sum Of our ex-
istence, and when you think that's it
for day in and day out, you can but
agree that a whole lifetime Of it might
begin to pail.
Its like wearing evening clothes all
the time or spending ones life at the
opera, or always having dessert and
nothing else for dinner. All play and
no work makes dull boy Of almost
any Jack. l sometimes wonder how
any Of us navy men manage to rise
superior to our opportunities for sink
ing into stupidity's lowest depths."-

Another Property Owned Locally.

Conductor Adkins, of the S. P, who
has an interest in q good mine in the
San Simon district near STEMS Pass,
Arizona, returned last night from q
visit to it with some fine specimens of
lead and silver, taken from the mine
for the purpose OF putting on exhibit
ton at the Office of Chief Lockart,
who owns an interest In the property.
Mr.. Adkins says they are constructing
q wagon road into the mine from the
nearest point that wagon
can now go, which Ia about 250
yards. This it necessary before any of
the ore can be taken TO market and as
soon as 1t is completed they will bring
car to the smelter. which they expect
to be able to do about the middle of

Arizona Mining Activity.

E. S. Smith, representative Of the Ell
Paso NJ. M. & S. supply house, has re-
turned from two months business
tour through Arizona, and Sonora,
Mexico. He says that both the
territory and the Mexican state
are suffering from a oon-
tinued droush and the cattle in
both are dying for want Of water.
But on the other hand he finds
the mining business in q vigorous state
except in that portion of Sonora,
affected by the Yaqui Indian trouble.
Mining men who own properties in
that district have suspended all opera
lions until the trouble is all over be-
cause they are afraid TO enter the sec
ton of the state inha bited by the
hostile Yequis.
Mr.. Smith says that a railroad ia
being constructed between Morep CT
and Guthrie. forty miles, and that
this line will open up some valuab bic
mining country. He says the Bisbee
mining people are all in proving and
adding new machinery to their proper
ties. Also the Arizona Copper Compa
uy at Clifton is putting In more
machinery In it's mill. All the mining
districts of Arizona and Sonora are
mini ~ business has received no great
check on that account.
Work On The Dundee.
The Orion Mining company is still
pushing development work on the
Dundee mine near Lordsburg. They
are drifting on the vein both north and
south on q 100 #. level in the main
shaft; drifting north In shaft No. 4 at q
60 #. level; drifting both north and
south In shaft No. II at a so It. level,
and are driving tunnel which they
already have in over 100 feet. All work
is on the vein and showing up an abun
dance of ore that will in time GO
through the concentrator yielding good
profits to the stockholders.
The company is hand sorting from
this development work from one to
two car loads of good shipping ore
per month and yesterday received
smelter returns on last car of twenty
three tons, netting $500.
Manager Clifford says 1t takes time,
patience and money to develop even q
valuable piece of mineral ground into
q paying mine, and thinks that some
day in the near future Ell PasOans will
have their reward in regular substan
tial dividends from their Dundee in
vest nent.

Terra Gotta Factory For Dallas.

Joel A Jameson of New Hampshire
spent several days in the city last
week, looking over the shaie beds on
the west side of the river, and especial
ly those along CCombes Creek in West
Dallas. MIR. Jameson and associa les
had under consideration some ten
years ago the placing of large plant
in West Dallas for the manufacture of

clays were cent him IT that time, and
the samples of work turned out were of
such high grade as to elicit from him
proposition at the time to erect
suitable works for the carrying out of
the project, but the sudden depression
OF the times closed all negotiations,
and until the temperance of Mr..
jameson it was thought the movement
had been permanently dropped. 81

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-12-22

The treasury department at Wash
ington has ruled in the matter of duty
on shipments from Hawaii to the main
land in favor of enforcing the law
which says that dutiable goods that
were in Hawaii before June IA last must
pay duty when they are sent to the
United States. The tariff wall between
Hawaii and the mainland will not be al
together down until the authorities are
satisfied that no more such goods are
here.
Plantation machinery that came here
from Europe is the principal kind of
goods on which duty is to be collected
at San Francisco, if shipped there from
here. There is also a quantity of silk
and other oriental goods, but it will be
very difficult for the. customs men at
San Francisco to collect on this. as it
has been decided that passengers, bag
gage will not be examined.
The decision not to make a rule of
