Monica Mines in Hands of a Receiver.

Proceedings in bankruptcy were in- stituted yesterday against the Monica Mines Company, resulting in the ap- pointment of c. E. Bunker, receiver. Receiver Bunker will leave for the Monica mine today to take full charge of the company's affairs and arrange for the immediate resumption of oper- atiOns there.
 One in close touch with the compa- ny's business said last evening that every dollar due by the concern for la bor, material and supplies will be paid and that the present troubles are due to dissentions among the stockholders, residing in the east. He admitted fur ther that four months steady run of the plant will easily create surplus large enough to meet all the con cern's obligations.
 The proceedings were brought by the assignee of T. M. Earnhart, E. B. Corthell, E. E. Beebe and F. E. Howe, original holders of fist nor gage il the amount of 25,SOO$. f. M. Ear. = hart, on another account, attached the company's properties yesterday in the amount of 25,6OOS. The entire obliga- tons of the company are said to be less than 7O,000$.
 Receiver Bunker is mine manager of many years experience. Those fla miliar with the mine do not hesitate to say that he will pay all the indebt edness from the net profits of operation of the property, as there is an enor- nous tonnage of ore blocked out in the mine ready to be stopped.
 The M ,nica mine is located sixteen miles southeast of Kirkland on the easterly slope of the Weaver moun- tains. It is opened to a depth of 1000 feet by crosscut tunnel, its ore reserves being blocked out to the upper work in gS by drifts and raises. There are Fl locations in the group. It is equip ped with twenty-stamp mill, built along modern lines, and concentrat- ing and cyanide plant.-Journal- Miner.

Let the Boy Do His Share.

In nine cases out of ten, mans life will not be success if he does not b ar burdens in his childhood. If the fondness or vanity of father or mother has kept him from hard work; if an other always helped him out at the end of his row; if instead of taking his turn at pitching off he slowed away all the time--in short, if what was light always fell to him and what was heavy about the same work to some one else, if he has been permitted to shirk, until shirking has become a habit, unless a miracle has been w ought his life will be a failure, and the blame will not be half so much his as that of his weak and foolish parents. On the other hand, if boy has been brought up to do his part, never to shirk his responsibility or dodge his work whether or not it made his head ache, or soiled his hands until bearing burdens has become matter of pride, the heavy end of the log his choice parents as they bid him goodbye may dismiss their fear. The elements ot success are his, and some time and ir some way the world will recognize hi, capacity.

PERMITS OVERHEAD TROLLEY.
Neutrality-suspicious. Vernon Line Has
Troubles Over Bridge Approach.

Representative James Hay. Of Virginia.
yesterday introduced a bill providing for
the use of the overhead trolley system by
the Washington, Alexandria and Mount
Vernon traction line into the District OF
Columbia
The provision comes as an amendment
to an act abollshing grade crossings in
the District, and gives the company per-
mission to use the system to a point
not more than go feet north Of the
Highway bridge.
Under the terms Of the bill the installa-
ton of the pillow pits within the distance
specified shall be under the supervision
Of the Secretary of War.
The bin is introduced for the purpose
OF giving the ccmpany's cars room to
clear the bride well without blocking
traffic on the approaches, and TO avoid
the necessity for the installation Of "a
conduit system en- the high ground OF

been filled that it would neCessitate the

WANT HAWAII FORTIFIED
Congress Strongly Urged to Guard
Against Attack.
Delegate knIaBIanaOIe Lays Bare
Weak SpOts-COmmittee in
Favor of Plan.

Another step in the direction Of prepar,
ing for trouble in the Pacific, should
trouble come. was taken yesterday when
the House Committee on Naval Affairs
began the serious consideration Of better
defenses for the Hawaiian Islands,
1t is not improbable that the commit
tees bill will authorize the construction
of a naval station AT Pearl Harbor, and
that a big dry dock will be built there
eventually.
Representative men from the islands
were before the committee and urged tie
establishment OF q naval base at Pearl
Harbor and also the building Of a hotilla
of submarine torpedo boats to defend
American interests.
Delegate Kalanianaole. of Hawaii ad-
dressed the committee at some length
upon the subject. He presented maps
and charts showing the strategic position
Of the islands
He quoted Capt Mahans writings,
showing that the fertilization OF the
islands and the maintenance Of a naval
base there were Indispensable to our mas
terry over the Pacific. and that Hawaii
ought to be made the Gibraltar Of the
Pacific.
Mr. Kalanianaole also urged that the
United States should provide better de-
Tense for the islands against a hostile
feet. To this end he favored the station
ing in Pearl HaTbor and the waters Of
Hawaii a sufficient number Of submarines
He then introduced TO the committee
George B. Mcclellan, representing the
Merchants Association of Hawaii. and
f. NJ Hatch. of the chamber Of commerce
of Honolulu
The former pointed out the advantages
offered by Pearl Harbor, and quoted Rep
resentative HObson, a member of the COM
mittee and formerly "a naval officer, as
saying that it was one OF the best harbors
in the world and capable of sheltering
the navies Of all nations.
Mr. Mcclellan devoted much Of his
attention 10 an argument in favor of
building and stationng a fiotilla Of sub
marines in Hawaiian waters He pointed
out that while a strong land defense
might be erected on one island. yet an
attack from a hostile fleet might be
made upon another and that therefore,
the most available method Of defense
would be a feet of submarine torpedo
boats
Under present conditions ne said, there
was nothing 90 prevent an enemy from
taking Hawaii almost without a struggle,
and thus depriving the United States Of
a base of operations in the Pacific.
The estimated cost Of the Pearl Har-
Dor station Is 100000, and to begin the
work an expenditure of S500000 is asked
for this year. The committee is likely TO
give favorable consideration to the
matter.i
