General Funston concurred Ia the
recommendation of the board regard
ing the minimum height, and the
breeders Of horses in the territory
have been much Interested in the
Drobable final action Of the War De-
partment. The department, however,
has decided that It would not be wise
to sdepart so materially from the
mi1imum height hitherto adopted, at
least in time of peace In time of
war it would always be possible to
make any concessions in order to get
the animals. This decision viii do
much to discourage the island horse
raisers who have been striving for
years to produce mounts for the gov
ernment market, and IL they are to
continue to develop stock for sale for
this purpose have several years work
cut out for them to produce stock
which will fulfil the height require
ment. The mounts purchased by the
board were all up to the requirement
of the specification as regards height
and all, over four years of age. The
cost was $1I5 each, which is slight
ly less than the cost of horses bought
In the United States, with the ex-
pense of shipment added. These
horses, which represented all the ami
mails on three large island ranches
which were up to requirements. are
proving to be excellent in every re-
spect and admirably fitted for the
work here.

CITY funds TO

WATER Bill
. gEssS ~ IH u

Supervisors who believed the fight
with the superintendent OF public
works, John w. Caldwell, over the
water bills was at an end came to the
conclusion yesterday afternoon that
they were much mistaken, for Cald-
well has thrown another bomb at the
|city fathers, and If 1t has not made
new wounds it has at least opened the
old ones.
The bomb came IN the form of q let
ter. The letter gave the information
that Caldwell had instructed the terri
|torial treasurer to withhold enough
money from the city and county taxes
to cover the water bills, or the bal
ance due on them, which amounts to
$4097.32. II. / :. : s#s5
II have this day requested" writes
Caldwell to. the city fathers, the
treasurer of the territory Of Hawaii
to withhold from any future taxes
which may become due the, city and
county of Honolulu, the sum of $4097.-
80, which Is due the bureau OF water
works, territory of Hawaii, for water
being furnished the city and county"
/. OF the water bill, =. which In total
amounted to about $4,000, and upon
which many a hot, word has been said,
1926 has been paid and $1164 Is being
appropriated now. The amount of the
bill which has not so far been paid is
for, water furnished for power pur-
poses or for. fire hydrants, and a
question has been raised as to the liza
hility of the city on these claims.
They were referred to a committee to
look into the question of the city and
eounty's liability for report out. The
report is expected soon.

OF this fact 1t Is believed that 1t would

cerned TO reduce the minimum height
Of cavalry horses to IL hands inches,

lar conditions and the needs OF the
service and the animals available, 1t is
thcutht that future boards. In pur-
chasing horses for the cavalry and

should be given the option of accept

Yukon Gold.

The estimated value of the gold pro
 duced in the Alaska portion of the Yukon basin in 1912 was S.645 o00S, compared with 9,050,0 ,00O$ in 1911. This decrease is due to the falling off of the output from the Fairbanks and Hot Springs districts. for the other Yukon camps either held their own or some- what increased their output compared with the preceding year. The Fair banks district continues to be the largest producer of placer gold in the Yukon country. It cannot maintain this position long, however, without a radical change in mining conditions which will make it possible to exploit profitably it's extensive bodies of low grade placers. But little has been ac. complished in this direction. and the best hope of the future lies in obtain ing direct railway connection with idewater.-Denver Mining Science.

Still Draining Kerr Lake.

A Cobalt dispatch says: With the spell of modern weather succeeding the recent blizzard. the pumps have resumed the work of removing the soft muds from the erstwhile body of water known as Kerr Lake. All that remains of the lake is now ope-acre sump with body of qnaking ooZe surrounding it. The removal of the mud deposits will be continued until the final winter freeze-up makes oper- a,ion of this kind impossible. The pumps, however, will not be disman- tied as there will be considerable work for them next spring, especially In cleaning off the Crown Reserve side of the lake.
 With the removal of the water from the lake, safe mining up the highest levels will be possible during the com ing winter. for the first time in the history of the Kerr Lake and Grown Reserve mining companies. Hereto fore thls was rendered out of the ques- tion owing to the proximity of the big water over the heads of the working miners and the danger that a blast at any moment might flood the workings and drown the workers.
