CIRCUS LIFE,

Haven't you something OF interest to
relate about your own circus life and the
show business in generalT' inquired.
1.-The story Of my life is q strange one, q
very strange one. Forty years ago ! first
entered the ring, and since then probably
twenty circuses have existed under my
name, For nine years received salary
OF 81 600 per week, and know all the men
who have gained distinction in the ring. |
have been worth over $1,000, and have
given away us much. Forepaugh, Nathan
Cooper, Bailey 4 Co., z. r, Spaulding, Az
cry Smith, and other well known mana.
gers, have travelled under my name, and
w. q. Coup, who has now the best circus
in the United States, was once q side.Show-
man withme, and isa very likely and liberal
gentleman for all that. The Jokes OF old
Dan have been heard in almost every city
and town in the entire land. have put
up tents throughout the entire West which
would no more hold the people who fiOcked
to my show than this room would hold the
crowds who throng weekly the church OF
or Beecher, There are four cir.
cusses travelling now under my naule-one
in Texas, one in Arkansas, one on the Mis-.
sissippi River and one in Australia. East
in the spring, North and Northwest in the
summer, and South in the full Is the order
OF CirCus.going. But my mind wanders to-
night. Old Dan is not himself any more.
A circus clown Is not very elevated
character in the eyes OF the world, but with
al his faiings circus clown has heart,
and doesn't the Bible say, Judge not, that
ye be not Judged"
And so The old man talked for couple
OF hours and more. He told OF his divorce
case, Of his intention 10 lecture 100 nights
ut 500 per night, rnd as he now and them
recalled the scenes Of his former days IN
expression Of sadness would pass over his
lgcd face,

rbe Jacket wheel.

The wheel for the pumping engine at
the Yellow Jacket. at Emmett's foundry,
is together in shape, oil the sections be-
ing in place. It weighs hity.two tons,
is thirty feet In diameter. and. like oil
the work turned out by Emmett, perfect.
In putting the wheel together 1t was
laid out horizontally. The rim inolosss
the derrick. and runs through three
doors. It is outside. inside and all
around, and Q man to look at II would
wonder how It got there. for II does not
look as though Il could be taken apart.
The wheel IL ready for delivery and will
be sent to the hosting works a. soon %
the roads are good. It will make the
Gold Hill depot by Gallsgher's teams,
thence the hub will be suspended be.
tween the ends OF two fat. cars, 90 % to
pass through the tunnels. and In that
way will be run to the works.

Nor. su.,.... for .h. su..o ru...l

Bslchsr IL talking Of connecting with
the sutro tunnel through the Jacket
drift BY tubing from the 140o level.
Should that be done. q double line Of
pumps would be worked from the bot.
tom up to that level and would be able to
handle all the water Of the lower levels.
The cost would be about $l6. 600. Of
which Crown Point would pay, say $4,000.
The Belcher would ave the other &c.
600 in two months in wood alone. This
arrangement would allow Overman and
Caledonia to come in, too, with theil
connections. Then. running 5000 feet
east connection could be made on the
1895 level Of the Ovsrman With the For
man shaft when IL reached that depth.
and water easily raised from that level
and sent through the same connection.
The present east drift In Overman on
the 1915 level is aimed exactly at the
perpendicular Of the Forman shaft and
could be easily driven over. The whole
plan or proposition looks feasible and
economical. till such time as the south
header OF the tunnel makes the Forman
shaft.
