How Gus Kept UP His End.


After q pause Gus thought it was about
time TO put in his oar, and gave us the fol-
lowing:
Gentlemen, amt much on game; fact Is,
never shot gun in my life, but have had
some rather queer experiences on the lakes,
and don't mind telling you about curious
thing that happened to the Mohican, q little
schooner that was mate OF in AZ. Chicago
want much of q place then, and we had
brought up some dry goods and groceries
from Buffalo and took back thirty-six barrels
of pork, all that had been packed there that
season. We had fair weather until we got
round to Lake Huron, when there came up
the biggest blow we had struck that season.
It came pretty near knocking the sticks out
of her, and the pork got loose in the hold
and rolled around considerably, but she
weathered it, and before we struck st. Clair
fats il was all smooth sailing again, and we
reached Buffalo all right; but when we tied
up at the wharf and opened the matches I'll
be blowed IL she didn't 60 to the bottom of
the creek that quick that we hardly had time
to jump for the wharf.
I'VE got diver next day to 20 down and
see what the matter was, and / don't know
as you will believe me, but it Is fact there
wasn't a barrel Of that pork to be found, and
there was a hole in her bottom that You
could have driven horse and wagon
through. / don't know as we would have
ever known how it all happened il 1t had not
been for the steamboat George Washington
picking up the pork which they found float
ing around in Lake Huron. and then we
knew that when we were rolling and pitch
ing in the gale the pork got loose and broke
through the bottom, and the only thing that
kept us afioat was the air in the hold, and as
soon rs we raised The matches and let tho air
out, why OF course she went down. tell
You, gentlemen, it was mighty lucky thing
we did not do it before we got into Buffalo

TIE Bonanza Senators.

Senator Fair, of Nevada, is the richest
man in the senate, as well as one OF the
wealthiest in the United States. He is prob
ably worth soms $50, ,0o0,00O, and every
quarter receives ons of the largest checks
for interest on his government bonds that
is sent out from the treasury. Mr.. Fair has
never spoken I'm the sen 1T, and does not con-
ceal his embarra Ssmsnt and difhdence
when in his seat His IN inner seems like
that Of a child in some strange and wonder
full place. MIR. Fair max s no show with his
wealth, except that he gives royal dinners
sometimes He Is often seen strolling up and
down the avenue, gazing with tbs delight Of
q child into the shop windows.
Mr.. Hill, OF Colorado, is another of the
millionaire senators. A few years ago he
was poorlv-paid professor Of mineralogy
In Brown university, but he went to Colo
RADIO and struck bonanza, and almost be-
fore he knew it laniei in the United States
senate There he has been a quiet and in
dustrious msmber, a rei-hot silver man, and
posses sed OF a vita, disagreement with Secre-
tary Teller.
Senator Jones OF Nevada entered the SEN
ate as the possessor Of several millions, and
since then he has seen the time when SO
bill would come handy. Mr.. Jones, though
a brainy man, was visionary, and always
was figuring on immense schemes, and pin
ming his faith to his visions by putting his
money in thsm The st. James hotel in
New York, the Hudson River tunnel, and
countless other schemes, ths unpaid nJt,s
and |. o. Us of han lrsds OF his friends. all
these absorbed his money. Senator Jones
has great faith that a gold mine in Alaska
in which he is deeply interested will yisld
him another fortune, AMI the latest reports
from there give some Justification for that
hope.

REDUCTION OF coPpER ORE,

commencing with the 16 per cent. ere and
carrying it on through the gigs at 30 per cent
and through the copper matt and calciners,
eliminates the sulphur and arsenic, and this
product is smelted In a reverberatory furnace
and produces regulis sr matt carrying 60 per
cent. copper. The next operation in this
process is one which produces white metal
carrying from 70 to so per cent copper, thus
making four processes to 60 through to bring
the ore to what nature does, or to copper
glance. From white metal is produced blis-
ter copper. By another smelling operation
this carries up to 50 per cent; after this it Is
refined and cut into ingots, almost pure cop

morning Officer French, of Chicago, ran

the copper and the heifer eyed each other
for a moment. French threw mis- weight
