The first consignment of fresh salmon from British Columbia to Europe, which consisted of 30,00O pounds from Fraser River, left New York the other day for Hamburg in a cold storage compartment of a German steamer. Frozen salmon from Canada have often been sent to England, but this is the first car go from the Pacific Coast, and if the experiment proves successful a very large trade will result. The rivers of British Columbia yielded nearly 100000 pounds of salmon during 1891, although it was re- ported as bad year.-N. Y. Tri- bune.

Yesterday the stock holders O. the Maricopa & Phenix rail road company held their annual meeting at the office in PheniX, and 5,295 out of the 6,0O0 shares of the capi- tai stock of the company was repre- sented and after the routine was disposed of, the following gentlemen were elected as officers to serve for the ensuing year: Messrs Frank Baxter, J. T.'Dennis, and C.S. Mas ten, of Phenix and Messrs Smith. Cutting, Masten, and Kendeli, ot San Francisco, elected as the new board of directors. The new officers are, N. K. Masten, president; c. 5. Masten. vice president and mana ger; F. I. Kendall, secretary; c. L. Montgomery, assistant secretary. The meeting was harmonious throughout and each and every man present were anxious and de- termined to push the extension of the Maricopa & Phenix road to Prescott, N. K. Masten said yester- day that his company would build this entension by the way of the Black canyon road.
 In pursuance of this determina- ton an assessment of SIP share, was levied yesterday upon each share of the 5000 shares of capital stock, This assessment of S72,OOO will make a good beginning, and abundance of the capital will be fur nished by the company. This ac- tion on the part of the company seems fully to brush aside any pre- sumption that these people don't mean business, as now we feel as sured that this railroad will be built. This is good news to our people and means that instead of one north line we will have two for sure.-Phenix Gazette.

The Bank of England's doors are now so finely balanced that the clerks, by pressing knob under his desk, can close the outer doors, instantly and they cannot be open ed again except by special process, This is done to prevent the daring and ingenious unemployed of the great metropolis from robbing the famous institution. The bullion departments of this and other great English banking establishments are nightly submerged in several feet of water by the action of the machine ". In some of the London banks the ebullion.departments are connect ed with the managers sleeping rooms, and an entrance cannot be effected without setting of an alarm near the persons head. Ifa dishonest official, during day or night, should take even as much as one from a pile of a thousad sover- eigns, the whole pile would instant. ly sink ard a pool of water take its place, besides letting every person in the establishment know of the theft.-Manchester Guardian.

Israel Coe, the founder of the brass industry in America, died at Waterbury, at the age of 97 years. He first established himself in business with Aaron Benedict in Waterbury for the manufacture of brass buttons, which in those days were very fashionable, the sheets being imported from Europe, Be- lieving that he could roll the sheets thinner than the Englishman, after many trials he did so, and built a small mill. He then succeeded in making brass kettles, going to Eng land twice to get secret jealously guarded, and then starting the first mill in Torrington; Conn. In this he prospered beyond all expecta- ton. Learning of the copper de- posits in Michigan, he visited that region investigated the character of the ore, and organized the first large company for its mining. Making the first brass kettle himselfin Anne rica, he lived to see an industry grow up that produced annually $55 100000 worth of rolled brass, and see line of mills built which extended from Waterbury to Tor rington.-Age of Steel.

The society is not yet self supporting, but makes up it's deficits by the subscriptions received.

A Canine Bank.

Chris \. Hoffman, has gone into the
banking business, and although his
bank is not provided with IL fire proof
vault, it is supposed to be burglar proof
and to have IL ''time" lock; mt least it
has taken considerable of Chris time
to watch it. To make the story short.
let it be understood that Chris is the
owner OF large thoroughbred St Bcr-
nard dog, which is very intelligent
animal and of which Chris. is quite
proud. A few evenings since num-
ber of gentlemen We're in Hotfmann's
place and the proprietor was Dragging
about the animals brilliancy and
education. and taking from his pocket
II silver tive-franc pocket piece, threw
it on the floor and the dog Immediately
seized and returned it to his master.
This act made Chris. smile with pride,
and he then told his friends that the
dog could tell that piece of money
from any other and would always bring
it to him." Chris. was then called to
wait on customer and while busy the
fellows enjoyed themselves throwing
crackers which the dog would catch
and swallow. Chris. soon returned and
taking his favorite 5-franc piece threw
it to the dog and as he caught it, did
not have time to examine it, but let it
| slip down the slot with the crackers,
and the boys say Chris. has not allowed
the dog to get out of his sight since
the affair happened, but consoles him
self over the loss of his pocket piece
with the fact that the dog is now more
valuable than ever.
