A UNIQUE feature has been added
TO his Office desk, the addition being
the suggestion of MIR. Wannamaker'
and the outgrow,h of his daily expe-
renee in administration of his exact
ing Office. Instead of the usual
cloth top, large plate glass covers
the surface of the desk, and beneath
1t is a map of the United States
showing parts of Canada and Mexico
A writing pad rests upon the glass;
and there are the customary desk
fittings, as we'll as the papers, which
are usually found in the workshop OF
q busy man like Mr.. Wannamaker.
The map shows the counties in each
State, the principal cities and towns
the lines Of railways, ETC., and when
visitors talk to Mr.. Wannamaker
about the post routs and postofhces
he can follow them on the map which
is spread out before his eyes as he
sits at his desk.

An Old Iron Nine.
Esw Yers Evening Post

The New York Concentrating
Works has leased the Croft mine, at
Peekskill. Tho mine has not been
worked for twenty years, owing to
peculiar difficulties in smelling the
ores taken from it. Mr.. Edison re-
gently discovered that electricity
could be used to remedy the difficult
ties, and the owners, Senator John P.
Jones, Of Nevada, Frederick Living
ston and VIM. Shoemaker, OF this
city, who bought it from the Peoks-
kill Iron company when that com
pany dissolved. The New York
Concentrating Works, in which Mr.,
Edison has an interest, will work the
mine, and has purchased the right OF
way and roadbed OF the mine railway,
which is five and half miles long
and runs into Peekskill, connecting
with the Central road. As soon as
the necessary surveys are made, the
new plant and machinery will be
put in.
The mine was FIRST worked in the
War OF the Revolution and the ore
was carried to the furnace at AIMS
vile on horseback. The remains Of
the furnace are yet to be seen. II
1882 John Croft leased the mine tt
Herman Ruggles and he later OF
assigned his claim to Christophe
Wolf. Then John Shaw, son o
Governor Shaw, OF Massachusetts,
took the claim, and after him cam,
William Bushnell In 1860 Warrei
Murdoch renewed work and tool
out large lot OF ore. The Peeks
kill company was then formed AM
they built the railroad and prepare'
to do an extensive business, but j
1870 the Supreme Court dissolve
the company and the mine has sine
been idle. The new corners wi
build an additional six miles OF rail
road and put in perfect plant, EN-
ploying between one and two hun
bred men.

Mr.. Edison says he is now working
at an electric motor which will revo-
lutionize railroad travel. He says it
will develop one thousand-horse pow
or and be as powerful as the locomo-
tives now in use. 1t is to take up its
electricity from central rail, power
from trolley wire not answering Tor
the speed which this motor is to at
tain. 1t can be run at one-sixth the
cost of coal, and in point of economy,
therefore, its introduction means a
great deal. Mr.. Edison's past success
es are an assurance that he will gel
there in his new undertaking.

In q Mexican town Methodists
were laying the corner stone OF a
church when they were attacked by
crowd of ignorant Mexican Cathol-
les. "My friends" said the pastor,
for the sake of that gentle Christian
in whom we all believe let US pro-
coed in peace" Just then he is
knocked down by rock thrown by
Mexican, and as he picked himself
up he exclaimed: ''If the low-lived,
white livered Greaser that threw that
rock will come forward | will lick
him out OF his boots" Then the po-
lice came on the ground and peace
settled down over the scene.

A we'll known chemical fact is that,
although Commercial! metals are SOL
uble in acids, pure metals are not.
DR.. Weeren explains this curious
anomaly by pointing out that the
pure metals when dipped in the acid
become quickly surrounded with a
protecting hlm of hydrogen. There
IS slight action on immersion, but
IL ceases after few seconds. When
the escape OF the hydrogen is aided
by performing the experiments in a
vacuum, or the hydrogen is caused to
combine with oxygen, the metals are
attacked.

BOISE CRY DEMoCRAT: A. Ballot,
matchmaker and jeweler, Is what he
himself terms an old.co crank.
He has a small cabinet filed with
rare coins from almost every nation,
some OF them dating back several
hundred years. Two of them, copper,
are German coins, one of them made
in l64S and the other in 1875. The
oldest is Roman piece and was
coined under Constantine the Great,
about the year A. d. 800, Mr.. Bal
lot commenced the collection of old
coins when boy at home in Ger
many, and never let's one escape him
when it is possible IA secure it, His
brother, who recently arrived from
the old country, brought several ad'
ditions to the coin cabinet.

Mr.. j. A. Czizek OF Warrens, is in
the city, guest at the Capitol hotel,
He says that Jennings { White, the
contractors, finished their section OF
The State road on Wednesday last.
and il is now complete as far as Salm-
on river, which will have to be
bridged. Men are at work upon thu
approaches, and he thinks it will be
completed in about two months, when
there will be n direct road all the way
from Boise City to Lewiston. Mr..
Chick gives, as distances, l40 miles
from Lewiston to Warm Springs, and
I20 miles from Weiser to the same
place, or l40 miles to Warrens. He
says the road is not completed north
OF Salmon river, but will be by the
time the bridge is constructed; also
that the recent work performed by
Jennings & White is model for q
road.
Governor Willey's Knott mine mill
is nearly completed and starts ny
next week. 1t is the only steam pow
sr mill in camp. He thinks Warrens
will excel as a quartz camp full as
much as it did for placcrs. The
country is improving wonderfully all
along the State road. New county
roads are being made to intersect it.
One is mentioned particularly as be-
ing constructed by George Riebold.
1t runs from Warrens to Warm
Springs and is well constructed. Mr..
Riebold is leading mining man in
that section. Now that roads are
opened SO that heavy machinery can
be brought in, the people are very
hopeful that Warrens will be very
prosperous. Heretofore there has
been only mule trail for the con-
vsnience of the miners.

The Congressionalists or rebel party
in Chile came out victorious. In the
FIRST days fighting Balmaceda's forces
lost 1900 men and an equal number
of prisoners captured. The Con-
gressional loss was sos, and among
the killed we're FIVE officers. In the
battle OF Placilla, on the 28th ult.,
tho defeat OF Balmaceda was COM
plete. His Generals, Barbose and
Alcaricca, we're killed; also many
other officers. Balmacsda's troops
numbered $4,000 men. Three thou
sand prisoners aud all his artillery
were taken. Balmaceda's wherea-
bouts 10 unknown. The torpedo
boats and all others are in the power
of the Congresslonalists. Valparaiso
was occupied without resistance
Balmaceda's Lieutenants sought safe
ty on foreign vessels. Inc losses Of
the Congressionalists were inconsid

Unknown Regions of the Far West.

Most people will be surprised to
learn that the map of the United States,
or, at least, Of the western half OF the
country, is changing as rapidly as that
of Africa. That such is the case is
stated by the German photographer
Habenicht-and in the making OF maps
Germany leads the world. According
70 the authority named, the new feat
urss that Stanley placed upon the map
CT the Dark Continent are not more ex-
tensive than the alterations and addi-
tions to existing maps necessitated by
the new information gathered by pio-
neer settlers and miners in the far
west. Not only are new towns estab-
lished and new railroads built, but
mountains and canyons, rivers and
lakes have been newly discovered and
described. There are considerable
regions that have been explored and
mapped since 1872, and other consider
able regions that are still practically
unknow-as, for instance, the Death
Valley wilderness in Southern Califor-
MIA, into which the government recently
dispatched surveying party.
This is great country, and there is
Il field here for geographical explora-
ton, as well as almost every other form
OF human enterprises.
