Port Townsend, Sept. lO.-The an.
nounced sale OF the IrondaIe iron fur
mace to an agent of james J. Hill,
which is said to have taken place at
San Francisco, September |, has caused
no little comment here. Whether it

been purchased merely for the wa, or
frontage and other purposes is ques.

For the past year negotiations for
the sale of the plant have gone for.
ward. The deal was to have included
valuable iron deposits on Texada isl.
and, b. c., but the owners Of the lat.
ter property. the Puget Sound Iron
Company. which is composed OF the
stockholders of the Irondale property,
refused to dispose OF the island iron
mines, SO the furnace machinery and a
large amount OF land at and near Iron.
dale was sold without the iron mines
in British Columbia.
On the lands included in the deal,
but lying some miles from the furnace
at lrOndale, are valuable iron deposits
and ore from the mines there was used
in connection with Texada ore during
the time the furnace was in operation.
The combining Of the two ores made OK.
cellent iron, and large amount OF it
was used in the construction of the
crusier Charleston, built by the Union
Iron Works.
There are other valuable deposits OF
iron in jefferson county, in the Olym.
pic mountains, bordering OH Hood
canal, and easy of access to the Iron.
dale works. These iron deposits have
been thoroughly prospected by experts
during the past six years, who were
here in the interest OF Mr.. Hill, and
the belief here is that the works ut
1rondale will be put in operation again.
The iron works, including machinery.
cost $500 but at present are not
worth half that, and to put the furnace
in operation again would require an
expenditure OF 5000. 600. The hot
oven is Il week, the stack out of date,

who returned from San

about the sale OF the property, said he
had not before heard OF the deal being
closed, but admitted that agents were

doubtless is the anxiety of the Chinese
authorities to procure the evacuation

Their idea is should the foreign minis.

A Movement to Increase the Military
Strength OF the Islands.
Honolulu, Sept. 6.-The stirring
in movement to increase the military
strength OF the Hawaiian islands, and
the forces now here.
1t is thought, in the event OF some
sudden warlike movements, Hawaii
might have to defend herself for time,
as the United States has SO far done
little to make the islands safe from inva.
sion. 1t is proposed to have full regi.
nent OF troops here. There are plenty
of men and eight companies are now
in existence. The men of the old citi.
zens guard will make up two more and
there are plenty OF men available to
complete the regiment. The principal
difficulty at present IL a lack OF ma.
tcrial. There are not enough guns on
the islands.
1t is found that under the new condi.
lions OF American government, Homo
lulu il u very heavy exporter OF gold to
the United states. and local tinanciers
are thinking of means to stop such
shipments. The expectations are due
to the custom. house collections. Homo
lulu has no money except what comes
from the mainland aud the heavy
drain. it 10 thought, will have bad ef.
fects upon the local money market.
Efforts are being made to take advan'
tnge OF United States law which al

collected. in such cases vouchers for
the cash to be taken by the collector
here instead OF money. As the cash

put an end to heavy god expectations
