Manchurian campaign, made some re-
marks about future wars that read
very entertainingly now. He said:
mo matter what the outcome OF the
struggle just beginning between my
country and Russia, the great often
sive and defensive of the Orient OF the
fut1re will lie in navieS. Once the
land rights Of the different govern
ments here are settled, the armies IN
nv opinion will sink back to small
proportions and be maintained on just
about the same basis as is that OF the
United States.
But there will be a great advance
in naval work and the construction OF
ships. 1t will soon be possible for
shipvards to be in operation here, and
the nayies be built here rather than
abroad. We Lave all the raw ma
terials close at hand, and we have the
engineers and mechanics developing
who will equal, l feel, the best found
in the West.
"The coming naval power of the
Orient will extend from the Red Sea
IN Rering Sea, and will have an enor-
nous cast line to " and protect,
AS Wei as a great commerce to en-
courase. I do not look for many fu-
tire great wars, but such as are 1 am
inclined to think will be fought out on
the high seas and be of short dura-
ton.

oYAMA TALKS OF THE WAR.
Locks to Navy of Japan to Safeguard
His Victories.

This Is an unusual and eXtraordi-
rary picture of Oyama, field marshal
Of Japan. 1t was taken in 1884, just
after the great Japanese general had
made his first capture of Port Arthur
an event he doubtless little thought
he would be called upon to repeat ten
years later.
Oyama is quite a philosopher abou
the manner in which his pictures get
into the public press and the many
curious stories printed Of his lie. VI
this he recently said to an American
writer who was visiting him in Japan:

CHAP XVI.

Night in New Orleans, where the
former gay life of the streets had for
many weeks been hushed by the
threatened calamity of an attack, or
possible siege.
The air of the city, muggy and life
less as the thunder showers of the
day had left it. was still more un-
bearable inside the walls of the gaol,
where, on the upper floor, in a cell
whose one narrow, iron-barred win
dow faced the east, lay Pierre LATTE.
The gaoler's wife came in with a
jug Of water, and filling a cup, held
it to the stricken mans lips while
gently raising his head.
"M'sieur Pierre, I trust you will not
be angry with me that l sent this
afternoon to Father PHILIPPE, and ask

chance he might here find a channel
through which to communicate with
Jean; for he had recalled the name
as that of one of the latter's friends.
The woman soon returned. bringing
a lighted lamp, which she placed upon
the floor, near the foot of the bed,
and, Pierre, closing his eyes to shut
away the glare. did not see the tall,
bIack-robed form that entered with
her, and then motioned her to leave
the room.
AS she did so, the priest walked to
the window and stood looking out, his
back turned to the bed, until the last
echo of the woman's footsteps died
away. Then striding hastily to the
door. he closed it softly, and, throw
ing back his cowl, revealed the pale
face of Jean Laftte.

Self-reHance.

There is a time in every mans edu-
cation when he arrives at the con-
viction that envy is ignorance; that
imitation is suicide; that he must
take himself for better, for worse as
his portion; that though the wide uni
verse is full of good, no kernel OF
nourishing corn can come to him but
through his toll bestowed on that plot
of ground which is given to him to
till.-Ralph Waldo Emerson.

WORKING SECTION THIRTY
Shaft Now Sunk Thirty Feet at Fa-

ELY, MINN.-The persons who are opening
the famous old section 80, township SO, range
IL, three miles east of here, now have their
shaft down thirty, feet and are sinking at the
near the point where the first drill-hole, sunk
by D. e. Woodbridge for the Clergues Of Sault
Ste. Marie, found ore at shallow depth. It is
$50 feet north of the south line of lot and
about the same distance west Of the east line.
1t is following drill-hole that cut ore in
place at 100 feet.
The shaft is three-compartment and vertical.
cuts will be driven at levels above. ma
chtnery plant large enough has been ordered and
will be the ground in few days. The
management expects to sink about twenty -four
inches day, double-shft after the air is in
stalled, for the rock is hard and difficult of
penetration.

encouraging results far as can be ascer-
tanned, Sections 10, II and Is show the greater
activity, and not only have drills been taken
there, but large concerns have optioned consider
able tracts to be drilled later. In sections 4,
ship, the oliver Iron Mining company and some
others are at work.
On the west side Of 62-13 some work is under
way and number, of options have been taken by
operating companies on which exploration is to
begin shortly. Sections 4. s, and s in this
township are most favorably regarded and are
showing the best Indications. On the north line
mines of the Oliver interests, drills are working
in the Roy and La Chance tracts, and it is re-
ported that iron ore has been cut in considerable
deposits. There is some talk of work east OF
Ely, but nothing has started there yet aside
from the section 80 shaft, as above mentioned.
