Truax and party, who went ont to examine
the approach to the Lolo Pass of the Bitter

here last night reports the route mp the Lolo

at no point exceeding so feet per mile. The
Minimum grade at no point on the last Is
miles exceeds 100 feet per mile; and he be-
lieves this can be reduced to IS or 50 feet.
From the Summit east to the Bitter Root
Rim there was an easy grade. Another
party is viewing on another pass to the
south ofthis that is claimed to he several
hundred feet lower called the Skalkaho Pass.
The examination of Truax has dspelled the
theory Of the Northern Pacific surveyor who
asserted that no railroad pass existed south

John W. Mackay, the bonanza king, one
of the richest men in the world, is d slender,
tallish, wellknit man Of forty seven. with a
clean, well-marked face, showing decision
and frankness. His hair ami moustache are
brown, tingcd with gray. His eye is keen
and penetrating, his skin is ruddy, whole

shine and steamed in Turkish bath tempera-

What impresses one about the man is that
there is nothing wasted in him; he is all
muscle and nerve, and shows temperate and
careful habits. When he walks, it is with
| the sure agile tread of the leopard, or the
IynX--like one who might spring at any mo,
ment. There is joyous element in the
man which would be winning we're its own
er only a cab driver instead of the E.aster OF

speaks. This is tie bonanza king as he
