OUR OLDEST CoapoRATIoN.--The Ursl
Mining Company, Incorporated in August
26, 1851, is the Oldest mining incorpora-
tion in the State. Since that time, ac-
cording to the Post, the number of in
corporations of all kinds organized in
this city is 5,752. The Ural Company
was organized with capital stock Of
$40, 900 in 40 shares, which shows how
modest people were in those days
as compared with the present when
companies are not stocked for less
than a million. and some ten millions.
The articles state that the company was
formed ''for the purpose OF quartz min
ing and extricsting gold from the quartz
rock by pounding and crushing the same.
Nowadays the articles claim all sorts
OF things, such as mining, milling, build
ing roads, cutting timber, doing trans.
portation business, buying and selling
real estate. etc.; the principal object
namely, selling the stock-is carefully
omitted in the articles Of incorpora-
tion. The incorporators OF the Ural
were John s. Hagar, Joseph Bidleman,
VIM. H. Block, James Blair, James
Whitney, +. NJ. Block, Joel F. Lightner,
William Norris, b. d. Baxter, D. S.
Lord, F. Butler King, and Greenville A.
Mendon. The company was to mine on
the Eureka and Inyo vein, in Nevada
county, Cal. OF course long before this
incorporation was formed, numbers of
companies were organized without the
formality OF any regular incorporation,
and that kind paid best in the end.
Where few men were working in their
own interest. all equal owners, there was
more to encourage them to labor earn
estly than where enc or two owned o
controlling interest. This holds true
now as we'll as then, and as general
rule the small companies pay much bet
ter than the large ones. We mean legit-
innate mining, of course, not stock-spec-
ulatins operations.-[ Mining and Scien-

How SHE GOT HER MoNEY.-But one
woman succeeded in fairly melting one
of the directors. She was a young
woman, not particularly pretty, perhaps,
but interesting, and she had tears in her
eyes, and $50 in the bank. She rushed
frantically to one of the directors, and
asked him if she could not draw her
money.
81 am very sorry, madam" said he,
but l can't help you to it now"
But must have it Immediately, "
she replied, passionately, "It's all have
in the world"
"Well, my dear madam, you must
have patience as well as the rest"
but mine is an urgent case, and /
can't wait. because
"Well, because WHAT"
Because said she, with smile on
her lip and tear in her eye, " because
I'm going to be married, and I've got to
get some things. The man I'm going to
marry has not cent to pay the minis
ter, and he has only one leg, and so I've
got to see to everything myself. .
The benevolent director dove into his
pocket and produced his private purse,
out of which he paid her the amount,
and she went on her way rejoicing

Old Times in the mississippi va1Iey.-The
American Conquest of nIinois.
From the Alton Telegraph.
In1790 st Louis had population
of 925. Il -a-l.7
The General Pike was the first
steamboat that solved the problem
whether steamer could stem thecur-
rentiof the Mississippi. 1t arrived
at St. Louis on the I'd of August, 1917.
The first newspaper printed st.
Louis was issued on July a12, 1908.
1t was called the Missouri Gazette,
but the name was afterward changed
to the Missouri Republican, under
which name it is still published. Is
On the 18th of February, 1853, the
Illinois country, on the east side of
the Mississippi, was ceded by the
French to the English. In 1854, the
English, by Captain Sterling, took
possession of the country. The white
population of the whole State at that
time did not exceed 1900. At the
present time Ito years later, the pop
ulation is about 3.007, 900. 5sr
In the year 1778, during the War Of
the Revolution, Illinois was conquer
ed from the British by the diatin-
guished American General, George
Rogers Clark. His campaign was one
of the most brilliant achievements of
the Revolution. His army consisted
of 153 men; with that small force he
captured the strong forts of Kaskas-
kia and Vincennes, and conquered the
whole region. The fort at the former
place was captured on the 4th of July
ITS, and Cakokia was occupied inn
mediatelv thereafter. A government
was then organized, under the author
ity of the State of Virginia, which
has remained with various amend
ments.
In I766 the first negro slaves, five
hundred in number, were brought to
Illinois by Philip Francis Rena0lt, to
work the mines. The descendants of
these negroes can still be found in
Randolph county.
Fort des Chartres, in Randolph
county, was founded by the French
in HIS. When completed it was one
of the most formidable and extensive
fortifications in North America. 1t
was located near the river bank, and
the walls were destroyed by the great
flood of 1T72. 1t was the seat of the
French Government in Illinois until
the English took possession of the
country. They occupied the fort until
it was DESTROYED by the flood, when,
they abandoned it and erected Fort
Gage, near Kaskaskia. The ruins of
Fort Chartres can still be seen.

ANCIENT AND MODERN WEALTH.

The rich men Of olden times as far
eclipsed the rich men of this age as
the rich men of to-day the simpler

as if the like had never been before.
But what are the big facts and figures
as we read themS Why, to give them
in heap of riches, that Ptolemy
Philadelphus, in Egypt, had a fortune
of $350.O00, 600; that Cleopatra drank
q glass of wine in which was dissolv-

THE FATE OF FRENCH MARsHALs.

A Paris letter writer says that the
history of previous trials of Marshals
of France is not calculated to fiatter
the hopes of Bazaine..

then Eve Marshals have been tried,
found gnilty, aud all of them execut-
ed.
l. Marshal de Retz was hanged and
burned for rebellion and high Itreason-
2 Marshal de tBiron was decapitar

his friend and benefactor, Henry / V,
8. and 4. Marshals de Marcillac and
de Montmorency were sent to. the

man, Richelieu.v Il.
5. Marshal Ney was shot by the
Bourbons,. in 1916, for going over to
his old master, Napoleon, on his re-
turn from Elba.

A PEErLoUs RIDE.



The Baltimore Sun, of the 18th ult.,
says: son the arrival at Camden
Station, yesterday afternoon, of the
5 10 westerH train, Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, man was discovered lying
upon the truck of one of the passenger
cars. AT first it was supposed he was
dead, but upon investigation it was
found he was alive, but badly used up
and suffering greatly from the cold.
His face and clothing were covered
with smoke and dust. He stated that
he had secreted himself IN the truck
under the car yesterday morning
while the train was at Martinsburg,
West Va, 100 miles from Baltimore,
and in that perilous position had rid
den the whole distance, without food,
and in imminent peril of his life, to
this point thus accomplishing one of
the most desperate journeys ever re-
corded. He gave his name as George
Aliender, a native of Pittsburgh, Penn,
aud said that few days sgo he re-
ceived letter from friend in Wash
ington stating that he could obtain
employment in that city. Being out
of employm't he determined to visit
Washington, and invested what mon
ey he had in a ticket calling for pas
sage from Pittsburgh to Martinsburg.
Upon arriving there and being out OF
funds he concluded to steal ride for
the rest of the journey, and selected
the truck of one of the cars as his seat.
He was in great danger several times
of falling from truck in consequence
of his body becoming benumbed with
cold. The space between the truck
and the bottom of the car where he
rode was about twelve inches in
height, and, as consequence, he was
| forced to extend his body along the
four timbers which constituted the
frame. work of the truck"
