Tho Emma mlno at Rico, noted for soma
years as a treat gold producer, has been sold
to a Boston syndicate for $150,000. Oro from
tho Kmtna during seven or eight years of ac
tive production ranged in value from $20 to
$120 per ton ln gold, with occasional pookots as
high as 35 ounces gold to tho ton. During the
past two years it has been worked by lessens at

milling and concentrating ore. and with a good
mill it ought to Py big dividends.
Winter has shut down tho Red Mountain

The Pet Winner Held In 90,000 fkr Vslng
n Itnsor When ths LtcbU Went Out.
A dispute over tho relative merits of straights
and flushes as winners in poker drove harmony
from a group of colorod players at 340 West
Thlrty-Boventh strcot at midnight Saturday.
For thrco hours previously the game had
gono on poacofully. No unkind word had been
uttered, not a razor had appeared abovo the
odgotof'tlio table, and tho wages ot tho week
had changed hands sovcral times. Hut iho
difference of opinion about straights and
flushes changed all that. Sociability ceased to
be a (actor In tho gnme. No man dared to use
moro than ono cyo at a tlmo to scan his cards
with. Tho other eyo was kept on tho other
players.
Tho game went on, however, in spite of sev
eral minor rons until 4 o'clock yesterday
morning. At that hour there were $11.44 on
tho table. By mutual agreement It was the
last Jackpot of the evonlng. It was also tho
biggest, and ovory on wanted tho ruko-off. Ac
cording to tho rules of tho game only one conld
hat o It, but Uie rules were suspended and tbe
lights went out. One man in his excitemont
and hurrv to get out mistook a wad of bills on
tho tablo for tho door knob and seized It, An
other, ln reaching for his hat, accidentally
grabbed a pllo ot dimes and nicklcs and ho
was so worked up over the matter that ho for-
frot to drop the mouoy after lie discovered that
its hat had been on the back ot bis head all
through tho game.
When the gas was rellshteri every man
Bwore that he was dead broke, but thore was
nothing left of tho Jackpot. Daniel Dates of
430 West Thirty-ninth strcot yelled that some
ono hail stabbed lilui. Flvo small streams of
blood trickling down bis back from as many
small wounds convinced the other players that
Bates was telling the truth, and William Col
Huh nf 233 West Forty-first street was accused
of being his nsiallant.
Collins watt tho man who would have had the
$11.44 if tho lights hadn't gone out. He was
nrrostcd and arraigned late in tho West Fiftv
fourtli Street Police Couit. chargod with as
sault. Bates, who hud made quick connection

Charges Aaalnst tbe Slaiinserarnt of tbe Jer
sey Industrial Schuol Tor Girls.
Thento.v, N. J., Nov. 21. A meeting of tho
Board nf Trustees of tho State Industrial School
for Girls, near this city, has been called for next
Friday ovcnlng to luvcstlcrato charges that
havo becomo public concerning its manage
ment. Membors of tho board refuso to give in
formation concerning the cbnrgos further than
to oxplain that they comprlso allegations that
there has been Insubordination against tho
matron on tho part ot somo of tho employees,
and statements by tho lattor that tho husband
of Mrs. C. A. Eyler, tho matron, lives at the
home and la being maintained at the oxpenso ot
tho State, while performing no work for the
institution.
The homo Is under the raro of six trustees and
six women managers. Mrs. Kyler whs chosen
matron last spring on tho death of Matron Mc
Fuddcn, and the troublo Is said to bo due to tho
fact that some of tho employees expected to be
promoted. Mrs. Kyler was formerly matron of
tho Florcnco Critteuton Mission for Girls, in
Trenton, and there was troublo in tbe manage
ment of that Institution before Bho resigned.
Tho Rev. Clareneo A. Eyler, her husband, was
at ono time pastor of tbo English Lutheran
church hero, but gave up bis pastorato nearly
tbf uo ycurj ugo cm account of Ill-he n!tb.
There Is a division among the women man
agers over the appointment of Mrs. Eyler, who
was the choice of tbe trustees. The latter ex
plain that Mrs, Eylorconssntcd to tnko a smaller
salary than had boen paid the matron, with the
understanding that nor husband was to bo
allowed to reside at the Industrial School. Mr.
McFaddcn. tbe husband of tho former matron,
lived at tho institution, but was superintendent
of tbo farm connected with the school.

WABniNOTox, Not. 2L A distinct departure
from tho usual character ot annual reports of
Cabinet officers is taken by ths Secretary of
War In his report, fleoretary Alger, Instead of
following the practice ot including only orig
inal matter in the yearly review, has Incorpora
ted lettors from commanding Ganorals and
hoads ot bureaus, giving a synopsis ot their re
ports nnd recommendations, with comments of
his own. His reasons tor departing from cus
tom are explained by the Secretary in his open
ing paragraph as follows:
" It has been the custom of my predecessors
to review the reports of tho commanding Gen
erals and tho heads of bureaus, and to submit
views and recommendations upon ths various
subjects coming within the Jurisdiction ot ths
department. Such a review of the work is neces
sary, but as only tbe last quarter ot the fiscal
yoar, ended on the 30th of Juno last, fell within
my term, it has seemed best to depart from the
usual custom by obtaining from the offloers im
mediately responsible a synopsis, in letter form,
embracing the principal and more Important
matters containod ln their reports, together
with recommendations for such legislation by
Congress as in their judgment will tend to the
better administration ot their respective de
partments. These letters aro herein published
In full, followed in each case by such remark
and recommendation as seem to me to be ap
propriate and necessary."
A statement of the estimates of amount re
quired for tho military scrvico for tho year
beginning July 1, 1808, ebows Uiat $96,258,445
is needed to carry out all tbe recommendations
nf War Department officers. Secretary Altcer,
howover, does not approve of the appropriation
of all of tho $48,728,100 required for carrying
out river and harbor improvement projects.
This is the largest item contained in the esti
mates. Last year tho expenditures of the de
partment were $40,350,130, and tbe appropria
tions for the current year were $62,832,417. For
rivers and harbors the appropriations for the
current vear amounted to $23,278,028, and In
commenting on the Increased estimates tor the
next fiscal jear the Socretury says:
"I havo not bad an opportunity to make a per
sonal Inspection of many of tbe works In ques
tion, yet with the exception of waterways and
harbors where there Is a large traffic, or where
Immediate Improvement Is Imperatively needed,
I nm convinced that tho estimates are largely ln
excess of wnat tbey should be at a time when
tbe deman s upon tbe Treasury are as great aa
now. It is therefore recommended that tbr
amount to be appropriated be largely reduced
bel w tbe estimates. It is but Just to the Chief
of Engineers to state that these estimates were
made oy my direction, that tho facts might be
placed before Congress, showing what the ex
penditures would bo were all the requirement
of the above-cited lan-B complied with,
"Special attention is Invited to the fact that
there are now continuous contracts outstanding
that will require an expenditure of over $17,
000.000 during the fiscal year ending June 30.
1890; of over $14,000,000 during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1000; $5,700,000 during the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1001; $700,000 dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1002, nnd
r 345,000 during tho fiscal year ending June 30,
003. It Is to be understood that these state
ments nre of course approximate only, but tbey
are bolleved to be nearly correct."
Very little space ladevoted by Secretary Alger
to the two most important matters within his
authorlt tbo seacoast defence system and tbo
Increase of tbe army. Ho relies on the presen
tation ot tho necessity of modern fortifications
and of more artillery regiments made by the
Malor-General commanding tho army, the Chief
ot Ordnance, nnd tho Chief of Engineers for the
enlightenment ot the President, briofly Btnttng
his own views on these subjects. Tho amount
needed to carry on the work of defending
the coasts is Included in the annual estimates of
tbe Chief of Engineers. It aggregates $13,378.
571, a marked increase ovor the appropriations
of any year since the present scheme of fortify
ing the coast was Inaugurated. In the last
fiscal year $0,345,158 was expended, and there
is an appropriation of $0,517,141 for the current
year. Referring to the report on this subject of
the Chief of Ordnance, Secretary Alger says:
" The providing of adoquato seacoast defences,
while expensive now, will cease as soon as the
requirements are fulfilled, and I believe It will
bo a w lse economy to push forward that great
work to the fullest extent,"
The Secretary also invites attention to the
remarks of the Chief of Engineers about sea
coast defences ln which the progress of tbo work
on gun and mortar batteries and emplacements
Is noted. "Seaooast defences," says the Secre
tary, " are being rapidly constructed, and they
should be completed at tho earliest possible
date. I cannot emphasize this tooatrongly, and
therefore urge that the full amount of the esti
mate be appropriated."
Gen. Miles bad much to Bay In his annual re
port,which Secretary Alger quotes in full, about
the necessity of Increasing the artillery force ot
the army. "It Is earnestly urged," Secretary
Algor urges, that hla recommendation con
cerning two additional regiments of artillery bo
favorably considered. Wo aro erect ng great
seacoast batteries, us he says, without men to
man them. These costly works should, as soon
as completed, be manned by a sufficient force to
care for and preservo them and to become
famllar with the handling of the guns, the
manipulation of which requires experienced
services, to be ready at all times to operate
them. A visit to any of these batteries must
convince any practical mind of the necessity for
immediate action ln this matter. A battery
costing from $100,000 to $500,000 ought not to
be manned by a corporal's guard."
Tbe Increase recommended by Gen. Miles will
require a number of new barracks. Tbo Quartermaster-General
submitted an estimate for
them, and commenting on tbe Quartermaster
General's report. Gen. Alger says:
"An Increase is also necessary ln tbe appro
priation for military posts, to provide barracks
und quarters for a number of new posts on the
Keacoast, and to enlarge others. The present
appropriation Is 8420,000, and the estimate sub
mitted is for $2,000,000, an increase of $1,580.
000. " An increase in the appropriation for army
transportation is necessary to move heavy ord
nance, guns, and gun carriages, including mor
tars. The estimate i $2,500,000, an increase ot
$100,000 over tbo current appropriation,
" While tbo amounts asked for are large, the
greatest care to confine the expenditures to the
minimum will be observed."
In bis reference to the condition ot affairs in
Alaska Secretary Alger tells ot tho ereatlon ot
the military reservation of Fort St, Michaol, at
tbe mouth of the Yukon, as a measure for pro
tecting lives and property. The creating of
further military reservations, ln command of
prudent officers, may, he says, beat solvo tho
problem ot preserving order In the Territory.
He asks for authority to provide a boat for
transportation and patrol on the Yukon. The
great Territory, he remarks, has opened up
a new problom within the past year.
"It Is probable," he continues, "that within
another yoar a Tory large number of people
may be gathered there, estimated by many con
servative men aa high as 100,000, and I urgently
suggest that some adoquato measures be adopted
by which a military force can be sent to that
Territory, if need be, to guard persons and prop
erty. In a remote country where there are no
laws, and the territory very extensive, there is
great danger that there may be much lawless
ness ana need of a restraining force, and I there
fore hope that large powers may be granted the
Exeoutivo, to provido as far as possible for any
emergency that may arise."
Contrary to expectation, the Secretary makes
no mention of the scheme of Capt. P. II. Ray of
the army, who Is now ln Alaska, to establfh a
semi-military government in tbe northern part
of the Territory adjacont to tho Klondike coun
try. It was understood that be would urge the
adoption ot Capt lUy's plan.
Tbe revival ot the grade of Lieutenant-Qeneral
is advocated by the Secretary. All tbe great
nations of tbe world, he says, give their officers
much higher rank than does the United States,
and few, even of the smaller ones, have com
manding officers below the rank of Lieutenant
GeneralT Tbe Secretary adds:
"It Is found upon a full investigation that
the military attache's to tbo different embassies
and foreign courts have muoh higher rank than
tbose from the United States, which places us
at a groat disadvantage ln cases of ceremony.
Even small countries send officers with the rank
corresponding with that of Lleutenanl-Colonoi,
Colonel, and oven Brlgadler-Ueneral, and they
take precedence ln all matters of oeremony. The
cost of living is greatly Increased also at tbose
stations. It, seems to me to bo unjust to our
officers, I therefore recommend that tho military
attaches to the different embassies be alren the
rank and pay, whllo serving, of Colonel, and that
tbo attaches at legations be given the rank
nnd pay of Lieutenant-Colonel whllo serving, or
at least tho rank and pay ot Major. This higher
rank is accorded to tho superintendent of the
Military Academy at Wost Point and also to the
officer In chitrge of public buildings nnd grounds
in tho District ot Columbia, while tlio pay of the
Engineer Commlssluuur of tho District of Co
lumbia, who Is dotallud from tbe Corps of En
gineers, is Increased to tbm of u Commissioner
($5,000) while serving as such, Tbo Command
mil of Cud. ts at West Point has thn Increased
rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, und tbe principal
assistant in the Ordnance Bureau of the War
Department and tbe ordnumo storekeeper at
Springtlold Armory have tho increasod pay of
Major."
Recommendations are made that the number
of oltlt-crs and enlisted men of tho Engineer
Carps ho Increased, nnd that the President be
authorUcd to appoint tun cadets-at-lurgo to the
Military Academy each yor. The prospect of
an luueuao lu the number of artillery regiments
makrs an increase ln the number ot cadets nec
essary, in the opinion ot the Socrotary.

the army in tho past yenr 8,285 only were Ac
cepted, showing the caru exercised ln the selec
tion of recruits. In referring to this tbo Secre
tary says:
"The graduates of tho military colleges of the
country will furnish a trained body of young
men available ln tlmo of need. Tbe work would
be more valuable, however, If tho law which
authorizes the detail of officers of tbe army to
colleges having a capacity to cdueate 150 pupils
atone time was amended to authorize the de
tails now provided by law only at such colleges
find oth r institutions of learning as havo not
ess than 150 pupils actually present for in
struction." A recommendation of the chief Signal ofilccr
thnt $10,000 be appropriated to continue
tbe experimental work with military balloons
Is approved by tbo Secretary, wbo submits with
It an estimate of $20,000 for cable systems for
tbe harbors of Mew York, Bolton, and San
Francisco.
Of tho proposed deep-water channel through
the Great Lakes, Secretary Alger says that it
" marks the beginning of a new era, and tho bene
fits to tbo future commerre of tho groat North
west, and. Indeed, tbe whole country, can bo
reallzod to soma extent by tho marvellous de
velopment of tbo commerce througb tho lakes
In recent years. Without going into details, it
will suffice at this time to repeat tho statement
of tbe Chief of Engineers that the commerce
passing through tho St. Mary's Falls Canal, to
and from Lake Superior alone, during tbe navi
gable Benson of 1890, comprised 10,239.001 tons
of freight, valued at $105,140,842, and through
the Detroit River, coming from Lakes Superior.
Michigan, and Huron, about 27.900.000 tons,
valuoa approximately at $300,000,000."
lie also strongly recommends the construc
tion of the Bhtp canal connecting Lakes Union
and Washington with Pugct Sound.
Tho expenditures for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1897, tbe appropriations for tbe pres
ent year, and tho estimates of amounts required

panions, fell into the hands of tho police again
early yrstcrday morning and was sent to tbe
County Jail to clve Judge Woodruff time to de

On Friday night Samuol G.Beatty, a farmer,
of Oordcntown. drovo up in front of the resi
dence ot Wesley Gibbs at 1050 broad strcot and
tied his horse. Half an hour later his horse and
wagon wero gone. Ho notified tho police, nnd
at S o'clock yesterday morning they found the
horse walking along- tho Btreet. In tho bottom
of the wagon was young Griffin, fast asleep.
The horeo had tho appearance of having bocn
driven a long distanoe. and tho boy admitted
thnt he had taken a long ride. He said be bad
taken tbe team because he wanted a ride and
as unable to resist the temptation. He said he
had no Intention of stoaling the horse. Police
Justice Crossley was unable to decide what to
do with the boy and left the question for Judge
Woodruff.
When arrested for stealing the mall wagon
from in front of tho Post Ofllcolast April. Urittln
was discharged under a suspension of sentence
by Judgn Woodruff, who was unwilling to Im
prison him for tbo prank. About a year ago tho
boy took tbe horse of Abner Chambers and went
for a drive about tho city. He appears to hare
n mania for driving off with horses left stand

leaves town with them shows that he has no in
