BACK FROM THE SOUTH
RETURN OF ASSISTANT SECRE-
TARY NEWBERRY.
INSPECTION Of Navy Yards and Sta
tons Likely to Result in Inn
portant improvements.

Assistant Secretary Newberry, with MS
naval aid, Commander Vreeland, returhea
TO washington this morning from trip Oh
II spection of southern navy yards and sta
items which is likely to result in important
improvements and additions to the plants
il he can secure the approval or Congress
for the recommendations which he WIN
make This was the first southern trip MI
Newberry had made in ten years, and ne
was surprised at the visible evidences oi
growth and prosperity in the sections VS.
tied by him Particularly was there eVi-
dent a spirit of local pride in the develop
ment Of the material resources and busi-
ness possibilities of the cities.
The Station at Algiers.
At New Orleans the assistant secretary
found that the business men were intensely
interested In the development and enlarge
ment of the naval station at Alg1ers. he
found the station in splendid condition. but
much remains to be done to make 1t thor
oughly available for naval uses. A great
deal of filling is required to enable ships
to be made accessible to the shears and
other parts of the plant.
The government should promptly put in
order the road on Front street, as its good
faith is pledged to the citizens who volun-
tariIy surrendered their property in order
that that road might be constructed. Mr.
Newberry will recommend that Congress
authorize the expenditure of $4,000 for that
purpose There Is also pressing need for
new barracks for the marines, who are now
living in three old plantation houses, with
out modern sanitary and other necessities.
At Pensacola Mr.. Newberry found the
conditions were all favorable for the con-
duct of government work on account of
the good harbor. The power plants are
now being consolidated, and altogether the
ward Is practically in shape to undertake
government work at economical rates.
Transfer of Tortugas Favored.
After looking over the coaiing plant on
Dry Tortugas and ascertainng the impos-
sibility of making the place secure against
a naval attack from any quarter. Mr.. New
berry concluded to recommend to Secretary
Bonaparte that he accede-to the request of
the Treasury Department and turn the is
lands over to the marine hospital quaran-
tine service He says the excellent coaling
plant can be easily removed to another and
more desirable site.
The station at Key West was found to be
in excellent shape, though in need of ma
rine railway for handling small craft and
craving dock Because of its location this
station is regarded as of immense prospect
i've value to the navy as base for neetS
operating In the Gulf of Mexico and the
Caribbean sea, and consistent policy OF
development will be urged upon Congress.
Mr. Newberry made the trip from New
cruiser Scorpion, going the rest of the dis
lance by rail Owing to lack of time ne
was obliged to omit the proposed visit TO
Charleston.

LOST MINES

subject OF lost mines. The matter
was contained In dispatch from
Hood River under date of September

of mines found and from some cause
'mislaid,"
There is perhaps no branch of the
fabulous style OF romance. that has
worked so many hours over time or
SO hard. as the lost mine subject.

vented by forest fires, and forced to
return. Whites health was bad and
he went to Spokane, and there died.
Before leaving White Salmon, he
made Judge Byrkett a map of the
country, describing the route. In
this map, he described his camping
places. and how at each camp he had
cut Odd Fellows emblem, three links,
on a tree, and that at the end of
his trail. where he ceased to blaze it
before he went down in the canyon
to his mine, he cut four notches in
a tree. Judge Byrkett followed the

tree with the notches, as described
but that was all. The writer has
been over the same trail though
not in quest of Whites mine, and
has seen the blazes as mentioned.

of some means, and there might be

was not lost to him, or so he claimed
