BETTER THAN SWIMMING.

Some aquatic authorities declare
that so far from saving life the art
of swimming endangers it; that
those who know how to swim take
risks to which they otherwise would
not be exposed: and that so far as
safety is concerned, knowledge and
skill in floating is far more i'm
portant and useful art.
This theory would seem to be
justified by the adventures of q
woman on the seashore in Accomac
County, Virginia, recently, who,
while bathing with three other wo-
men, lost her footing, fell into a
deep hole and was carried off by
the tide. The other. women ran to
some fishermen quarter of 4 mile
away, but they, believing the woman
to be already drowned and carried
out by the tide, would not bulge.
But two young men got into q boat
and pulled over toward the beach.
They found her alive with only her
nose above the surface of the water.
She luckily had on a large straw
hat, which stood above the level
and attracted their attention. She
had attended a swimming school in
Brooklyn, but was never able to
learn to swim. She therefore gave
her attention to floating, which any
body can acquire with little per-
severance. When she felt herself
out of her depth, she instinctively
threw herself on her back, kept her
hands down, breathed through her
nose and was rescued. = Detroit

CAPT. MACDONElrS LAST SHOT.

EDITOR BuLLET1N: In answer for
the last time to Mr.. j. +. Wiscman's
letter of yesterday, his letters pub
lished are very plausible just now,
and his sympathy for me in having
the wrong book, very considerate.
The bool, he represents was not only
offered to me by the San Francisco
agents, but they offered me special
inducements to take their book with
me. l declined it for very good
reason-thcir work is to represent two
volumes, and, as l have said before,
the second volume is n myth, having
no existence whatever.
BY the arrival of next Mariposa,
my book, which has been so literally
subscribed for by the solid men of
Honolulu, is expected. Then the
conclusions of any fair-minded pub
lie can be obtained.
No more bosh, biz is biz, and l
have to leave for the colonies by
next steamer not only with Grants
book but several others of great i'm
portance. l hope Mr.. Wiseman
may fill the bill and get as many
solid subscribers as | have. Yours
respectfully, L. X. Nj.

FITTED UP IN FINE STYLE.
The Metropolitan Hotel tnderRoes
Thorough Renovation TIL ~ rs
second 90 None III the city

A DrMocRAr reporter this morning
made a call at the Metropolitan Hotel for
the purpose Of inspecting the changes
recently made in that house. He was
shown up stairs by the clerk, who intro
duced him to Mrs. Hill, the newly
installed hostess. Mrs. Hill was busily
engaged experimenting the carpeting and
other arrangements regarding the final
preparations of the rooms. Come right
in. Mr.. DEMOCRAT" said Mrs. Hill, in her
genial, good-natured way; and she then
proceeded to show the reporter the many
excellent changes that have been wrought
on the floors OF the second and third sto-
ries of the building. The original design
of the Metropolitan was not the very best
in the world, by any means, as the second
and third floors had been so constructed
that there was in the centre OF each row
of dark rooms, with narrow passage on
either side. This row of dark rooms has
been entirely taken out, and all the side
rooms have been extended out about
eight feet OH either side. This change
has left a spacious and elegant hall the
entire length of the building, and every
room in the hotel is front room. The
proprietors could not have made any
change that will so meet the approval OF
guests as this one.
On each floor elegant bath rooms and
ordinaries of the most improved patent
have been put in, so that guests can be
| furnished with hot or cold baths and other
necessary accommodations without leav-
ing the building
The rooms have all been thoroughly
cleaned, re-papered, and are certainly
numbered among the best lighted, the
healthiest and the largest sleeping apart
ments of any hotel in the city. The
front rooms, facing Third South street,
have been arranged into elegant suites for
families. All the windows have been
hung with lace curtains and shades. The
entire house is lighted with gas, the
dining room and Office having electric
lights in addition to the gas chandeliers.
The dining room has been beautifully
fitted up, and now is one of the hand,
soonest apartments in the town.
We are pleased to announce that Hill
& Hill have opened this hotel, and that
they intend to run it on the very bes
plan for the accommodation OF guests il
quest OF comfortable place at moder
ate charge.
Mrs. Hill says that the intention is t.
make specially OF family accommoda
tons and permanent resident boarders.
Mr.. and Mrs Hill will doubtless max,
q success of the Metropolitan, for it il
certain they will do all they can for thu
comfort Of their guests.

"IIow long has the Thompson Com

"About thirteen months. The company
is composed principally of the original
Mccall people, all OF whom, everybody
knows, were first-class artists. Since the
Thompson organization the company has
never closed winter or summer. We are
proud to say that "The Mikado," as pre-.
scented by us, is the finest production o.
the opera in America. The principal.

the most powerful on the road"
At this point Andy Brixen popped in
and told Mr.. A. that, if he expected tc

the newspaper man and come with hin
at once. With this gentle hint from the
proprietor OF the V. H., the DEMOCRAT

"About that many years ago." continued
Mr.. Arthur, "Mr. Davis was playing

did so, and travelled to Philadelphia

THE MARSAC MILL.
Gniig her and Grant EEes-
urrect the Old Works.

There was time in the history OF this
camp, says the Park City Record, when
there were more mills than mines. Prof.
Clayton estimated the McHenry bluff 10
be worth $4,000,000. Sevenoaks, Hal
comb and the writer OF this, came down
the hill from the Lake, and an open cut
called our attention TO a spot in which
men were ut work. That spot is the
present Ontario. Had an enthusiast got
hold OF that mine, this camp would not
be in existence. There was crisis in the
history OF this camp that Greg Chambers
filled Just like timber-men in Il mine work
i'll II "Dutchman." Like all successful
men, Chambers had enemies: but he
surrounded himself with lieutenants that
would pull the bottom out OF hell and
give the Devil contract to 90 deeper.
Pat Kirvin was with him in the early
days, and our readers know that, under
Chambers management, it was Kirvin's
mine for years. The depth attained in
the old working shaft necessi tated ma
chinery, and as in the history of all
countries, Il man was found ready for the
emergency. Dan Ball had shot himself

still at the mill As when General Grant
was inspired to have Sheridan swoop
down upon Lees Army, Chambers placed
Joe Il. Gallagher in charge OF the Ontario

eral, r. C. Chambers recognized his
abilities, and that boy, j. j. DAILY, has
demonstrated now, what was then in
doubt, that patent stakes do not limit a
vein.
In the early days oil the Ontario mine,

Il mill was built for the McHenry. The
company had mill but no developed

but no mill, and rented the McHenry in
which to work his ores.
Rowland went on to Flagstaff hill and
induced Michigan gentlemen to build a
mill in which ore might be worked that
only existed in his own fertile imagina-
ton. II was called the Marsac, and when
the Mcilenry machinery was worn out,
Chambers leased the Marsac. Before the
Marsac shoes were worn out, the Ontario
mill was ready to drop its stamps.
DAILY having dropped upon thetruc west
ward course OF the famous Ontario vein, a
mill was required to work the ores of the
new mine. The old Marsac was yet in
fair condition and the new company
bought il. Joe Gallagher and A. NJ. Grant
took hold OF the old hulk, and about the
