A story Of Bonanza Kiny~.

They were talking of Old bonanza
days in Virgin Il City. He had been a
newspaper man there in the exciting
days when Fair aud Mackay knew
more of the bowels Of the earth than
they did of the suface. They always
knew a good deal about the people in
the earth, though, and managing deals
was matter that few could do as well
AS Mr. Far especially This newspaper
man related little incident that
don't think ever appeared in print.
John Mackay. he sad. "was never
much Of a manipulation. He was
miner, and always wanted to 90
straight at things. One time Fair went
off and left Mackay to run things.
They were drift ny in the Union Con-
solidated. and II making three different
drifts which formed triangle. they
came on strngers OF ore on all sides.
John Mackay. ke u IN ner, Immediate
ly came to the conclusion that there
might be a large body of ore in the
center or thereabouts Of that triangle.
He INN ediatey started straight in to-
ward The middle. There was some ex-
element, of course. in the stock. but
as they went on with no indications OF
body of ore. interest began TO die
out, and they got through without
finding anything. Fair got back, and
the first thing he did was to start
Dir It at an acute angle. in he direction
the stringers pointed. He came on
small body of 500 rock. He tried
deal. but he couldn't make it 90.
John. joint he said to Mackav.
you've knocked the stullin' out of the
mine. VIII, didn't you keep tie CEN

given the DO, deal 2'-Saa Francis

A Rival of ST. Record.

The construction of another y Pine
tunnel through the Simplon. rs rival
Of the successful 81. Gothard. has for
some time been talked about in Paris.
1t is est mated that the Simplon tunnel
would shorten the time between Par j
and central and southern Italy bv
three hours. ~ compared with the 81.
Gothard line. and the gain over the
Mont Cents route would be still greater.
According to the representations, the
length of the contemplated tunnel
would be about twelve miles, and tho
work could be accomplished in from
four TO SIX years; it would be the long
est tunnel in the world, and require ex-
traordinary provis ons for its suitable
ventilat on, though this object could DO
attained. it is believed. 10y means of a
horizontal air shaft above the crown OF
the tunnel and running its entire
length. connecting by series OF vert-
cal shafts with the atmosphere above
the mountain. Pumping engines
would not only keep the air constantly
renewed. but would draw of the water
vii ch otherwise would steadily accounts
late i'm the tunnel. The cost of this
work is estimated at about : 10. 0O0 600.
