STRENGTH OF ARMY
AT The PRESENT TIME
Annual Report of Lieutenant
General Miles.
TROOPS NUMBER 84,513

Establishment Of Military school In
| Southern California and a War Col
lese In the City of Washington Rec
commended.
WASHINGTON, Oct 28.-Lieutenant
General Miles, in his annual report,
states that the strength of the army at
the present time was "a, 513, of which
number 1884 are in the United
States. 43,234 in the Philippines, 4.9I4
in Cuba, the remainder, in small de-
tachments, being in Porto Rico, Hawaii.
China and Alaska He says it is ex-
pected that the force in the Philippines
also can be reduced.
General Miles does not approve the
| present organization Of the artillery
corps, saying that iS establishes another
bureau In Washington. He believes in
the former reg1mental organisation.
| Speaking OF the army canteen, which
Is abolished by the army reorganization
law, he says that no injury has resulted,
and in ths main the law has been bene-
fetal.
General Miles states his objection to
the management of military affairs in
the war department III the following
language:
"While congress has made ample pro-
vision for the management of military
| affairs in the organization of the army,
| whereby the companies, regiments,
brigades, divisions and departments are
made the units of administration and
by statute has clothed the officials, not
only with executive authority, but with
judicial powers and responsibility, yet
the tendency has been to absorb and
usurp the entire conduct from the mill
| tary establishment in the city Of Wash
ington and especially in the staff de-
partments. This has been found most
injurious in other armies and is one Of
| the principal defects in our own system.
The evil has been increasing during
the wars of the last three years to an
| extent that, in my Judgment, requires
serious consideration, and recommend
that the decentralization be effected, as
| far as possible, and that all proper and
lawful authority be restored to subOrdi-
nate commanders who are provided with
an efficient organization, and we can be
| safely intrusted with RESPONSE ility for
the efficient and faithful administration
OF military affairs commensurate with
| their important commands.
| General Miles recommends the estab-
| ishment of military school in south
| ern California and war college in the
| city of Washington.

The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-11-30

J.. ]. McCloskey left last night for He:-
ena to meet President Lucas of the Pa
citic Northwest baseball league. and the
outcome of the conference between the
two magnates will be of considerab bic inn
portance to the baseball interests Of
Butte and Helena.
President Lucas has been East work.
ing for a contract with the railroads
and also attending the meeting of the
minor league managers. He will be
able to decide definitely at a meeting to
be held tomorrow whether the placing
OF Butte and Helena in the Northwest
league will prove profitable. Much de-
ponds on the kind of a contract that
can be secured with the railroads and it
will be this bit of information that Man.
ager McCloSkey will ask for more par
ticularly.
1t is hardly likely that a deal will be
fixed up whereby the two towns men,
toned will go into the Northwest league
on account Of the great pressure being
brought to bear in favor of an inter-
state league which will include Montana
towns and towns in Idaho and Utah.
Most of the baseball hackers are in
favor of a league which will take in
Ogden. Salt Lake. Pocatello with Great
Falls as one Of the three Montana
towns.
This league could be made a strong
one as the towns all are anxious to have
a league team and rave proVen good
supporters in the past of the national
game. Spokane and Missoula are talked
of as possible members but their admis-
sion would depend on the attitude of the
Northern Pacific railroad and the con-
CeSsion that line would make for the
long jumps.
The meeting to talk over the inter-
mountain league will be held at the Fin
len December 1 and it will be attended
by baseball men from the cities men
toned.
One thing is a certainty and that is
that through the efforts of Manager
McCloskey, Butte will certainly have a
league team and new grounds.
The old grounds at Athletic park will
be abandoned and new grounds aid out
adjoining the Columbia gardens. A plot
Of ground has been secured by Manager
Wharton of the street railway company
which will be devoted to baseball. A
park 400 feet square will be provided
and a new grand stand and boxes will be
erected.

Of Terry McGovern. has lost his head

ORE IN the PACIFIC
THE SHAFT CUTS THROUGH PART
OF A VEIN.
1T DIPS FROM THE SOUTH
A Few Feet Deeper It Straightens Out
and Appears to Be Almost Per-
pendicular-Did Not Know
It Was There.

The company operating the Pacific
claim, located on the west slope of the
hill between the entrance to Park and
Columbia gardens canyons. is of the
opinion that in the possession of the
Pacific it has what will prove to be a
good mine. The shaft on the property
is down abo 800 feet and it is the in
tention to % or 80 feet more before
prosecuting. ,
A few days ago a vein dipped into the
shaft from the south. which Is some
thing unusual for ore bodies in this Sec
ton. as the general course is towards
the south. At first it was supposed that
the vein was one of the many stringerS
with which the granite of that part Of
the district is in~terSpersed. but further
development showed it to be a we'll de-
fined vein of sulphide ore. A few feet
below the point of discovery the vein
assume an almost perpendicular course,
which leads to the belief that greater
depth will find it pitching south like all
other lodges. 1t is just possible that it
makes a rainbow curve with the cOnve
part in the shaft.
As to the width of the vein nothing is
yet known as it has not been crosscut.
but it appears to be of good gauge. The
company was not looking for that par
ticular vein. as 1t did not know of its
presence until the shaft clipped it. After
reaching the depth at which the COM
pany has all along figured on exploring
the ground. a crosscut will be driven
in search of a vein known to be north
and another will be driven south.
The inflow of water is quite heavy at
present. and although it has been
troublesome the pumps are able to hdn4
die it. Thursday evening the task OF
installing an additional boiler was fin
ished.
One Of the heavy shareholders in the
company says the showing in the prop
erty at present is very encouraging and
he has no doubt hat it will develop
into a mine. Before acknowledging that
it is a mine, however. he wants to see
ore wagons hauling the product to a re-
duction works.
