TO HANG OUT.
Notes and Queries.I

This phrase certainly occurs in the
'"Pickwick Papers" Bob Sawyer says to
Mr.. Pickwick: "Where do you hang out?'
and that gentleman replied chat he was
at present suspended at the George and
Vulture, Cornhill.' An earlier instance of
its use do not remember, but forty years
ago it was a common enough question at
Oxford, Where do you hang out?' l. e..
live, or reside.
At Cambridge the question put was.
''Where do you keep" and the use of one
expressioLor other used to be regarded as
showing the oxford or Cambridge man. In
East Anglia, the dining room is often
called the keeping ROOM" Both univer-
sites vet retain, l suppose, some peculiar
words in their vocabulary.
The following is an early instance of ito

ceIIaneous POEMS He is describing a

Estimating city Creek Power.

City Engineer Young has received
official notice of the recent action of
the council in ordering that some data
on the probable water power at the
hands of the city in City Creek canyon
be furnished by him at the Tuesday
nights meeting, and yesterday he COM
menced his research. An investigation
into the records of the office revealed
the fact that others have had the mat
ter under consideration, and in addi-
ton to taking a number of measure
ments of the water flow at its lowest
season, have made some surveys. The
measurements of the water show that
the average flow during the fall is
1000, 900 gallons daily, and the engineer
will base his calculations upon these
figures. On Monday he will accompany
Mr.. Mason on a tour of inspection
through the canyon and from that gem
tleman learn the full intentions of the
members of the council who are at the
back of the movement, in order that
he may determine just what work there
is to perform.
In this same connection it is stated
that 150-horse power can be generated

TT is gratifying the way our mining
operators are catching on. They did
some vigorous kicking for time, but
now they are getting down to business

profit on production. in short the prun-
ing process in expenses is being used as
it never was used before in the mining
business in the west. The old days OF
lavish expenditure in operation are
gone forever. The close margin between
cost and profit has taught operators
how to economic and forced them to

lesson is a stern one, but it will prove

WAS NEATLY LAID.
But the Trap Failed to Spring at the
Right Moment.


San Francisco, Sept. 15.-The police
are looking for forger wins through
the agency of a messenger boy, tried
10 have a check for $500 cashed by
the Bank of California on Thursday
afternoon.
A lad in the employ of the American
district company entered the bank, and
approaching Samuel Beaver, the pay
ing teller handed him check for
$500 drawn by George n. Beaver, the
capitalist, in favor of A. E. Ball, an
attorney. The messenger said that Mr..
Ball had given him the check and sent
him to the bank to have it cashed.
Paying Teller Beaver is a brother of
the capitalist and naturally is very
familiar with his signature. It seemed
all right and the teller was about to
pay the money. He thought for mo-
ment. and considering 1t unwise to turn
over such an amount to a boy, told
him to go over to Mr.. Balls office and
tell him to come and get the money
himself The teller kept the check.
In a short time the messenger returned
and said that he had seen Mr.. Ball, but
IL was not that gentleman who gave
him the check The boy said that he
had been sent to Mr.. Balls office by
the company, and that a man repre-
senting himself as the attorney met
him al the door, handed him the check
and instructed him to go to the Bank
OF California and get it cashed.
= A search was Immediately made for
the forger, but he could nct be found.
It is thought that a confederate fol-
lowed the boy to the bank, and seeing
him come out without any packages of
coin became suspicious and warned the
forger away from Balls Office.

SELL ON LIGHT MARGINS.
By Such Method the Stock Market Is
strengthened.

THE opening tone of the market on
Monday of this week was like the day
itself, hazy," said James A Pollock
yesterday to Herald reporter.
Operators could not see themselves
clear and as for the investors, well,
they were out of sight in every sense
of the word.
"A majority of the regular patrons
of the brokers have made good profits
on the recent advances, but instead of
letting go part of their holdings and
assisting to keep the maket in motion
and so gather in other investors who
are a trif1e weak on the future, they
are standing quietly by, retaining their
stocks and their profits, with the idea
that there is to be no end to the latter
The surest way of killing a market is
to neglect it and 10 neglect it is to
hold floating stock and to refuse to
operate with it. Still you can hardly
blame people from taking the bull side
of the market at present.

Superintendent Daily, of the water
works department, expects to have the
centrifugal pump, with which the wa
ter supply of Emigration canyon is to
be tested, on the ground by the middle
of the week. and the test will be made
Immediately following. 1t is intended
to connect the machine with the stump
in the canyon and then ascertain just
how much water can be taken out of
the stump without decreasing the pres
ent flow. Should it be determined that
there is sufficient stream to warrant
the expenditure, a drain tunnel is to
be run into the bed of the stream for
the purpose of tapping and carrying
off the surplus.

by the flow of water from the high
line system at or near the brick tanks
in the canyon, but the adoption OF this
plan would mean the abandonment OF
the present Capitol hill water system
Should the council decline to consider
this proposition, then it would be neees-
sary to go at least as high up the can
yon as Pleasant valley and from that
point pipe the stream down to point
in the neighborhood of the tanks before
head of any use could be obtained.
This would cost a great amount of
money, a much greater amount, in
fact, than the city has to expend.
Although the resolution providing for
opening of the competition for the con-
tract for the street lighting was
knocked out at the last meeting of the
council, it is said that the friends of
the measure will again be in the front,
prepared to convert some of the doubt
ing Thomases.
