plans to suit the site, a funny error
crept in. As originally planned at
Washington the messhalls of the en-
lister men were to be on the left of
the headquarters building, which is To-
Gated at the closed end OF the U-shaped
parade ground, and the officers quar-
tiers on the opposite side of the parade
The location of the messhalls and of
ficers' quarters had to be switched and

or toward the mountains. When com
pleted, with the cooks in possession
of the messhall kitchens, it was dis
discovered that the doors of the kitch-
ems opened out on the parade ground
and the refuse tins had to be located
practically on the parade There was
hurried cutting of red tape and the
kitchen doors were closed up and trans
formed into windows and doors cut on
the opposite side. The result is clear
parade ground, with the back doors to
kitchens where they should be.

Gangs of workmen are employed day

Head-tne gallery which is to connect
the mortar works outside with the in
terror basin of the old crater. One
gang is working from the outside AMI
the other is working from the inside,
and about half of the tunneling is said
to have been finished. The tunnel will
be about $50 feet long. Across the
basin of the crater a road will be con
structed, and this will lead upward to
where galleries will be tunneied out
il the sea face of the crater. In these
galleries will be located the observa-
tories from which the fire of the NOR
tars can be directed.
1t is also said that the fire control
of the Waikiki batteries may be To-
Gated in one of tie crater galleries.
The Waikiki batteries are low-lying
gun stations, rising but a few feet
above the sea level AS they are dis
appearing guns, and there is little OPP
pOrtunity to direct the fire of the bat
teries from the stations themselves, the
fire control, in all probability, viii be
located in the sea face of the great
crater rim rising hundreds of feet
above the sea- From This commanding
position the approach and position of
all vessels may be observed in sufficient
time to so control the elevation and d.
rection of the big guns that thu range
will be almost perfect.
-Four of the big mortars are already
placed in the Diamond Head works,
two more are on han !, but lack few
essentials, and two others are to be re-
ceived from the mainland.

wonderfully rich ore of late. They
have been taking out fortunes all the
wav down, for that matter, but in their
deeper levels they have run into real
bonanza stuff 1t is estimated that
this mine, of whose milling plant the
accompanying photograph is a view,

the Mine is right, and the Men con-
nected with it are also right, there is
no investment under the sun which is
so sure and profitable as gold mining.
A few dollars invested in a good gold
foundry may produce thousands, and
start poor man on the route to
riches, and all the money lost in
lifetime may be recouped by just ONE
such investment. And gold mining,
conducted on modern scientific princi-
pies, is not the speculative industry it

Just as the cantonment is being
shaken down and the officers and men
are finding themselves, a portion of
the large turf field between the stables
and the government road is being
plowed up, presumably for new pine

expressed themselves decidedly in favor

The site of the permanent camp is
said to have been chosen near where
the blowing is going on. From a cav

Leilehua reservation is magnificent,
and for open order maneuvers appeals
to The troopers, but the plowed field
they think will in time be a field of

Nellie Weaver once more became Q
source of annoyance to the judge.
Sympathy in Pottersville, as it is apt
to be in any town, was with the young
people, In some way it got rumOred
around the town that Nellie's life at
home was made none of the pleasant
est by her father. Further comment
was aroused when the postmaster gave
out that Miss Nellie had returned one
of Wrangle's 0he wealthy summer Wis
itor's) letters unopened. The incident
showed a further progress in the stand
taken by the energetic young lady
against the plan of her father to mar
ry her to the aforesaid Wrangle in
stead of to young Wenham.
The crisis was reached early in April.
There had been an ice storm during
the night, making the roads as slip
