Communicated.
On September first c. A., c. H.
and C. W. Snyder, Tom Frances
and Dave johnson bonded to Poulot
g. Voilleque, six uranium claims
comprising the Blue Bell, Dogie,
Shutdown. Little Sadie, franklin
and Little Rubie mining claims.
One-fifth OF the purchase price was
paid down and six months bond
given. The purchase price is un-
known. but By the way the boys
smile it must be all right.
What this section needs is little
advertising and let mining men
know that we have ore and plenty
of it in sight. There is good
opening for another mill here right
away as only about one-third Of the
claims have, as yet, been disposed
of, notwithstanding certain parties
have put in circulation the story
that all the claims in this section
have been secured. One mining
man the write. knows of, was turn
ed back on that account and went
to Rock creek instead. Now a lit
tie less back-capping will work bet
ter with US people down here. We
are only prospectors, but Ameri-
cans, every inch, so don't monkey
with the band wagon or someone is
liable to get into trouble.
Poulot & Voilleque have four
men doing assessment and develop
ment work on their upper group OF
claims and more men will be added
in a few days. Tom Frances and
c. H. Snyder are doing assessments
on some new locations they have
made.
We need post-office here badly,
as we are SO far away from any
post Office, and then the service is
poor, three days from a railroad.

sghted pocy IN our missionary efforts here we have
communicated our views to the Foreign Mission
committee in Nashville, and we have their approval
to go ahead in the matter of securing permanent

Our former school buildings were erected under the

was had to economy. Our mission has never been
lavish IN the use of money The mistake it has made
II tere mas been mistake is altogether in the other
ulrecuon. And most assuredly this is SO with re-
gard to the moneys that have been expended for the

buildings down and erect them on lot secured for
the purpose The sum of $4,000 will purchase the
lo that we nave selected and pay for the removal of
the buildings, with improvements that should

tutlons that named after persons whose Gberatv

why may we not have from our Southern Church

At Nagoya, Japan.
BY THE REV. c. K. CUMMING.

Mr.. EditOr-I see in a late issue of your paper an
article by our Secretary of Foreign Missions DR.
Chester relative to mission school here in Ma
goya. A few words from one on the field on the
same subject may not be amsS.
The lot on which part of the school buildings are
located was leased in 1887 for period of fifteen
years, at an annual cost of $40 In 1901, when the
additional school building was erected, the original
lot being too small, an adjoining lot leased (abou
3oXIoo feet In size) for period of five years at the
rate OF $40 per annum. The effort was made to OBJ
tain long lease this lot also but without success
And when the lease expired, a renewal of the lease
could be obtained for only still shorter period
two or three years-and at a higher figure Upon the
expiration of this second lease renewal was OBJ
tainable only on still more Instantaneous terms so
that the present lease which was renewed at the be-
ginning of this year. could be gotten only for only
three years and at yearly expense Of $50 instead of
$40 And the owners strongly insisted on receiving
S45 per annum but finally came down to $40
Within little over two years the lease for the
original lot will have expired and the man has al
ready minated that he will want three times the
amount received and it is not at all probable
that he would again give long lease So that the
element Of uncertainty would enter very strongly into
any future arrangements with him.
In view of these facts and also in view of the fact
that the prices of real estate in Nagoya are RAPIDLY
on the rise, it has seemed best to those interested in
the matter here to make the effort to purchase land
for our school, if intend to continue it. And in
asmuch this Nagoya Girls School is the only edit
cationa work that we, mission are interested in
now, 1t would be great pity to close it.

The Old Mackenzie Desk.
BY DIR. L. p. Bowen.

This venerable piece of furniture, of solid mahog-
any, remarkable in ITSELF and the only surviving
Mackenzie relic discovered and identified by me
in 1873, and it came into my possession in 1888
Taken from the records of Accomac county, Vir-
GINA, where they may be seen, have copies of the
will and the inventory of Madam Anne Holden, Our
pioneers daughter-the former dated November L.
1877, and the latter September 20 1880 In both of
these documents the mahogany desk is mentioned.
All these facts put upon permanent record in the
Appendix to The Days of Mackenzie published by the
Presbyterian Board.
The will contains this bequest 81 give to the Rev.
Samuel McMaster the of fory-six pounds
mahogany desk, bed and furniture and negro
woman called Keziah and her children" At the
death of her pastor, it became the property of Sam
uel McMaster Esq, and at his vendue it disappeared
his heirs too young at the time to know its value
His son. J. T. B. McMaster, NJ D., grandson of
Madam Holden's pastor, remembered it well and al
ways said he could prove the fact by his familiarity
with its very peculiar secret drawers and springs
Dr. McMaser, man of fine intelligence and promi-
nence had greatly assisted me in my Investigations
OF the traditions and records of the adjoining
counties
The whole community had known of the desk and
ITS fame and yet very strangely it had utterly
ished from public power to locate it. Some of us
had been trying to trace it for years
Finally, like many of my successes l struck acct
dentaly, as say, upon the old desk. During
pastoral visit to of the historic families in the
country near Pocomoke City, was telling enthusi-
asticay OF some OF my late discoveries when an old
gentleman sitting in the quietly, but intenty
listening, said "All this sounds very familiar Nv
father knew great deal about those old Presbyte-
rians Besides, have at my house wonderful ma
hogany desk which belonged to the very people YOU
talking about"
OF course was aroused He told me that he had
bought the desk for two dollars and half at Mr..
Samuel McMasters auction, and that it was no mod
ern or ordinary piece of furnture that all his money
was in it. and that could have the money if could
find it
went home with the aged gentleman and he
showed me through the secrets of the concealed
springs and drawers. 1t was such as we read about
Here the old Presbyterans of the past had hidden
their gold and treasures The owner now was this Mr.
John B. White, citizen of character and much re-
spected
