FLEET ENTERTAINMENT

c. H Mcbride, formerly secretary OF
the executive committee in charge of
the fleet reception, feels that he has
been rather harshly treated by the local
newspapers in that he has not been al
lowed to give his side of the matters
which led to a change in the organi'

Mott-Smith he makes the following
statements:
"Ca) That during the time | was

"Cb) That during said time, l was

representative at San Francisco;

Hawaii with any authority to get the
suggestions in question, and was also
the only one who seemed to be public
spirited enough to spend his own time

Dear Sirs:-Please accept my thanks
for the very kind telegram of congratu-
lations over the passage of my bill for
the Development of Pearl Harbor. 1t
is very pleasing to know that the
amount available this year has been
increased to $1,OOO,OOO, and that the
total expenditure will be from $780,
900 to $4,O0O,OO0.
My personal inspection of Pearl Har-
Dor a year ago impressed me with It's
Importance. 1t was therefore a pleas
ure to report the matter from the sub
committee on Navy Yards Of which
happened to be the chairman and also
to urge the matter through the House.

The very high standing of your Dele
gate helped much in the matter. Mr..
Mcclellan has been instant in season
and out of season from the very first
and has worked necessarily and indus
triously for the passage Of this bill. In
fact received from him many sugges-
tons which were invaluable.
He is one of the most efficient and
industrious men in Washington and !
cannot speak of his work and hdelty
in too high terms, in short, | desire to
share fully with him any creuIt tnaJ
may be due for the success of the Pearl

1t would be a great pleasure to visit
Honolulu again this year and renew

ago
Please present my compliments to

raised the work of the committee of
which l was secretary. The most and
all that did was to make suggestions
to my committee. These suggestions
the committee saw fit to turn down,
whereupon, took no further action OF
any sort. Moreover, what have done
here in connection with fleet matters,
has been done, as l thought, for the
interest of the committee which I re-
presented.
las far as cabling for carte blanche
authority is concerned, this on its face
shows that l was deferring making ar
rangements for the committee until /
received such authOrity--it was a sug-
gestion for authority and nothing else,
and the authority not being forthcom-
ing, | made no arrangements.
Il have spent considerable money OF
my own in connection with getting the
suggestions referred to, which will
probably not be returned to me. I feel
however, that it should be, for l feel
that anyone should be reimbursed their
actual just and proper expenses for
doing things in good faith
Moreover, Mr. James F.. Morgan,
who arrived in San Francisco the other
day, after a long conversation with me-
stated emphatically that he could see

Mr.. Hale. l withdraw the point OF

The Wire President, The point of
order is withdrawn. The question Is
ON agreeing to the amendment pro-
posed by the Senator from Wyoming.
The amendment was agreed to.
Under this amendment federal jurors
and witnesses-and particularly the
latter-will be greatly benefited. Should
the amendment have been adopted by
the hOuse-and there is little ground
to doubt its adoption-jurors, while re
ceiving the per diem of So heretofore
paid, will receive l5c for every mile
necessarily travelled to take a boat or
train. Witnesses will get So instead
of 81 a day and will also be en-
titled to the increased mileage of 10
cents for reaching a landing or train
Again witnesses will get SO per day
for the time used in travel, something
never before accorded them.

Williams mine has been opened
on a similar irregular fissure,
carry ing some remarkably high
values. While doing the assess
ment work on this property last
fall sack of selected ore was
taken out that sampled $500 per
pound in gold and silver. This
rich ore is found ia an irregular
vent up near the crater cone of
Parker Mountain summit; it also
consists of chalcendonic quartz
containing thick wavy bands of
black argentite richly matted
with fine, light colored gold
worth about $40 per ounce. The
Williams property has a 500-foot
cross cut tunRel, which, how
ever, seems to have stopped
short of its objective point by
about 100 feet, and there seems
every evidence in the ground
that, if continued, this tunnel
will open up an important source
of rich mineral. The surface of
this district car les considerable
debris and involves a lot of sur
face work to find the ore, but
from the number of places where
rich paintings in free gold have
been found in the neighborhood
of the two properties mentioned,
it is more than likely that other
important discoveries will be
made.
"The district is a very rugged
one, of sharp ridges and deep,
narrow canyons; it is well water.
ed and timbered, however, and
the formations are generally
soft, and it affords a promising
field for the prospector. With
such high values and identica

of the bonanza camps of Nevada
it is likely to prove the scene o
considerable mining activity th'
coming year."

Very Respectfully,
FRED. DEMMETT,
Asst. Commissioner

The land we referred to in par
ticular is Pahsamaroi Valley,
which in a direct line is situated
not over fifteen or twenty miles
from Challis, where the Mes
sENGER is published, a newspap-
er of bona tide standing and of
general circulation, which has
been established since 1881. Yet,
for some reason, we do not yet
know, and against the law, we
have been wrongfully denied
and against the law what right
fully belongs TO US, as most of
the Final Proof notices in the
Pahsamaroi Valley have been
advertised in the Salmon City
newspapers, contrary to law, as
Salmon City is situated from 40
to 90 miles from said Pahsam-
aroi Valley lands, and it has
been going on for years. 1t is
question whether. these lands
illegally advertised, the titles of
which are valid or not.
We publish the above to call
the attention of those making
final proof and to the Register
of the HALEY Land Office, that in
the future these final proof not
ices must be advertised accord
ing to law in the NEAREST
newspaper to said land, whether
the land is situated in Lemhi
county or Custer county, or in
any other county.
