THR sULPHUR MINE STEAM

Something About the Iron Horse Of

Something About the Iron Hofser Of
the Desert
F. J. McWorthy, one of'the principal
owners of the San FRANCISCO Sulphur
mine, at Rabbit Hole. was in town yes.
teTday and gave us the following infor.
nation relative to the steam wagon
brought to Mill City for the purpose of
hauling sulphur from the mines to the
railroad. The wagon was invented and
built BY Doane Brothers. of Sacra-
mento, and tested at several fairs in
California. 1t weighs. without fuel or
water, seven tons. 1t has three driving
wheels, each six feet high. and tires ten
inches wide to prevent it from sinking
in sand or sou ground. Attached to
the face of the tire are fanges, shaped
like a segment of a circle. to prevent il
from slipping when loaded The axle
of the front wheel turns on a pivot,
shaped like ball. and is operated by q
lever. by which the machine is guided,
and by which it can be readily turned
in any direction. Il has the same pull
ing capacity on curve that it has on q
straight road, and can be turned 40
readily as a mule team. 1t is expected
to haul twenty tons of sulphur from
the mine to Mill City at a load, and
make the round trip-about 60miles-
in two days. with two cords of ordinary
wood. Its speed can be regulated ac-
cording. 10 circumstances, but when at
tachehStO heavily loadeds wagons it is
not desirable to- run it faster than three
miles an hour. A contract has been
entered into by the Sulphur Company
and the Doane Bsotbers. accordiDg to
the terms of which the latter are to
deliver refined sulphur ftom the mine
at Mill City for six mo nths at Ave dol.
lars per ton. To day! 10 Left for the
mine with two wagon. loads Of ma
chinery fdr the refining works. and its
return with load of sulphur il looked
for with considerable anxiety. Should
it do all that is claimed for it, and trassl
over or. mary roads with two or three
wagons loaded with 10000 pounds. it
will be OF incalculable benefit to

Patrick Buffers Career.

Mr.. Patrick Butler, who was killed
in Central Park, New York. by the
running away Of his horses, was forty
two years old. He died worth mil
lion Of dollars. A poor lad, just ar
rived in the country, he found employ
lnent in cotton batting factory at
Harts Falls, in New York State. He
worked two weeks for nothing to learn
the business. Then he was obliged to
work for twenty-five cents a week for
many weeks. He was restless under
this pay, and one day while swimming
with several boys of his factory he dis
cussed the situation with them. On
their way home they determined to
drop into A. H. Hart's twine factory
and ask whether h. wanted any boys.
Old man Hart received the deputa-
ton, and questioned the boys one after
another. Young Butler was last.
"What can you doi" asked Hart.
81 can do anything" replied the
youngster.
"Well, you're just the boy want"
said Mr.. Hart, and out Of the knot
Butler was the only Dboy employed.
Mr.. Hart at that time was making
shoe twine only, and that in a small
way. Soon afterward Hart determined
to journey to New York city and estab-
lish himself. On his return he found
that 8utler's workmanship in making
the twine balls was alone correct of all
the employees. Out Of big invoice of
twine sold, Buffers packages alone
weighed three pounds. All the other
workmen were old employees. This
so impressed Mr.. Hart that he applied
to Buffers parents for permission to
take the youth to New York. From
the little shoe tnine factory in Hart's
Falls grew the great Elm Flax Mills,
now employing 700 hands. Mr.. Butler
seemed to go through life with his
hands in his pockets, so easy did he
appear at all times; yet he was work
er. He go+ through in an hour or so
wnat ittakes other men a half day to
do. From the factory boy, seventeen
years old. Butler adv anced to clerk
for Mr.. Hart.
The old man died and the son sue
ceeded. Butler became a partner of
the son. The son, over fifty years old,
died year ago, and the entire busi-
ness fell to Mr.. Butler. Ever since Mr..
Butler had been negotiating for the
purchase of Mr.. Hart's interest. Only
a few days ago he said: 81 have had
many qualifications, but cannot tell
you how overwhelmingly pleasurable
it would be to me to be sole owner of
the factory that entered twenty-five
years ago poor, ragged boy.
He purchased Mr.. Hart's interest,
and it is probable that the exultation
over this event took him to see and
visit his child in the Sacred Heart on
Sunday.
The great aim and object of his life
h ad been accomplished. He had been
heard to say that he would be willing
to die after he had so sisnally crowned
his life. The purchase of Mr.. Hart's
interest cost over $500. 900 it is said.
