According to the best evidences
which can be gathered from the
writings of Ovid, Pliny, Herodotus
and Dion Cassius, after the phoenix
had lived his allotted lifetime of
800 years he selected a spot and
prepared his own deathbed, which
consisted of a sort of nest or funeral
pyre made Of leaves and branches
of the oak, ears of sweet spikenard,
cinnamon, bark, yellow myrrh, etc.
Seating himself upon this he
tapped his wings with such velo-
city as to cause the nest to take
fire. After bird and nest had been
consumed little worm appeared
in the ashes and rapidly developed
into full-tledged phoenix. The
first care of the new bird was to
arrange for the sepulcher of his
fathers ashes, which Herodotus
describes as follows: .....
"With the myrrh and other gums
it has amassed the phoenix fash
ions ball as large as it can carry (;
this ball it hollows out, and in the
hollow places puts the ashes Of its
dead parent. The ball is deposited
in the nest, and the young phoenix
carries the whole from Arabia to
Egypt for the purpose of interring
its fathers ashes at the city of the
sum- Having reached its destina-
ton it lays it's burden down upon
the altar of Helios and disappears
as mysteriously as it had Gomez,
The legends connected with this
fabulous bird vary in some Of these
details, but all agree in the state
ment that only single bird Of the
specie was living at any one time.

DIED IN

News Received Here Yesterday of the
Death of Mrs. f. f. Dobson.
MIR. Ed Dobson received a brief tele-
gram Tuesday from Minneapolis an.
%nouncing the death of his wife. 1t came
to him as a surprise. as he had heard
nothing of her sickness. He at once
telegraphed for particulars, and as he
did not get any reply for some time, he
was at first in some doubt whether there
was not some mistake about the telegram.
However, he received a dispatch yester-
day stating that she died suddenly, being
stricken down with pneumonia and after
a very short illness passed away Decem-
Der 3rd. Mr.. Dobson ordered the body
shipped here for i%nterment, but in reply
to this dispatch received another tel
egram stating that the deceased had
requested particularly, in presence of four
witnesses, that she be buried in Mime
apolis and that arrangements had been
made to carry out her wish and the fu-
neral would take place yesterday. Mrs.
Dobson was 80 years of age and had
lived in this city about four years. Her
health had never been very good here,
but she was as we'll as usual when she
left for Minneapolis, about two weeks
ago to look after some business matters
and expecting to return after the holi-
days. Mr.. Dobson received a letter from
her about a week before her death and
at that time she was enjoying her usual
health. The news of her death coming
so suddenly was a great shock to her
husband.

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.

Al Schwartz, an Actor, Found Dead
Under IA Trestle in Helena.
A dispatch received here by the police
department yesterday announced the
fact that AL Schwartz, a variety actor
who was en- route to Great Falls, where
he was expected to stay during his wife's
engagement at the Globe, had been
found dead under a trestle and the cir
cumstances created a suspicion of foul
play. Information was asked as to
whether he had any valuables Or not.
Inquiry at the Globe brought out the
fact that as he was nearly broke he sent
his wife ahead by passenger train, and
told her that he would follow on a
freight. He had evidently started for
the freight to come to Great Falls when
he met his death. 1t is hardly possible
that he could have fallen from the
t~restle, as it is boarded and rallied in and
he is a man that never drinks. The cir
cumstances surrounding his death are
somewhat mysterious, and there is a
suspicion that he was thrown over the
trestle and murdered.
Mrs. SWartZ, whose stage name is Ida
Warren, says that he has no valuables
with him. She arrived here Monday to
play an engagement and expected her
husband here yesterday. She will leave
today for Helena and expects to bring
her husbands body here for burial, az
she says he never liked Helena, and in
deed had a great aversion for the town,
Schwartz was we'll known in professional
circles and had an interest in the Powell
Street threaten, San Francisco.

COPPER MARI EFT.
Review of the Situation by a Competent
Authority.

review OF the Situation by q Competent
Authority.
The New York Mining and Engineer.
ing Journal Of last Saturday in it's re.
view Of the metal market says of copper:
"There has been a large inquiry
throughout the week, which could only
be partly filed because lake copper is
not obtainable at market values, and
makers of electrolytic have difficulty in
executing the orders on their books.
There are rumor to the effect that the
Calumet and Hecla company refused an
order for 100000 pounds at 81 cents,
and this price must be considered very
high, especially when it is compared
with sales reported from Europe for
leading brands of lake copper, which net
only about $40 cents f. o. b., New York.
Electrolytic copper is in much better de-
mand, and we have to quote 93O@9.4O.
For casting copper the demand is still
slight. but nothing is obtainable below
9.1O@9.l5. Considering that prices OBJ
tainable for copper here about 9 or 3
per cent better than can be realized in
Europe, it is strange that the market
continues so flat on the other side, as
naturally no pressure can be expected
from here and the flat tendency must
therefore be attributed to other sources.

A FINE NEW BUSINESS BLOCK
A. P. Curtin & Co. Have Purchased
a Site and Expect to Build
Next Spring.
The Proposed Structure Will Be One
Of the HandsOmest in the
City.

yesterday q deal was closed between
A. P. Curtin & Co. and Silas A. Beachly
by means Of which the former has pur.
chased from Mr.. Beachly the lot on
which he lives, on the corner of First
avenue north and Fourth street. The
lot fronts on First avenue north just Oh.
posite the old Tribune building and has
a frontage on Fourth street OF $50 feet.
The price paid was all cash, but the
figures are not given out for publication.
The deal was made through the agency
of B. P. McNair, who secured an option
on the property some time ago
1t is the purpose of the purchaser to
erect on the property a very handsome
two story building. Mr.. Curtin's present
intention is to commence work on it's
erection next spring and put up a brick
and stone block 5Ox1OO feet for the &C.
c~ommodation of his branch business in
this city. Mr.. D. r. Edwards of the
firm stated to a TRIBUNE reporter that
the plans for the new building we're not
yet fully decided on, but that Mr.. Curtin's
idea was to built a strictly first class
building, two stories high, with the lower
floor filled in with plate glass for the
entire frontage of 200 feet. In the
interior a handsome gallery is planned to
go around the second story, which will
be used for the carpet and drapery
The whole cost of the
building contemplated will be about
$4,000, and it will constitute a very
notable improvement on Fourth street
and First avenu north. Mr.. Edwards
stated that while the plans we're not yet
drawn, and it was rather premature to
enter into a minute description of the
building, it was safe to say that it would

ashamed,

Spreckel's Big Bank Account.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 5.-Considerablt
interest has been aroused here over the
check for Sl,50O.OOO which Claus Spreck
els, the sugar king, drew Saturday or
the Nevada hank. The check was made
payable to the California bank, and il
was thought that possibly Mr.. Spreck
els had transferred his account from ont
bank to the other. Mr.. S~preckels sale
today that this was not the case; that
he still had a large deposit in the Ne
vada bank. When asked how large that
deposit was Mr.. Spreckels said he
thought he could draw several such
checks without exhausting his account
He refused to say what the check was
for, but intimated that it was to pur
chase some of the new issue Of govern
ment bonds, for which the Bank OF
California had subscribed Sl,SOO,O00.

A SENSATIONAL STORY,
A Man on the West Side Claims to Have
Discovered the Body of II Baby
While Hunting,

"A man on the West Side Claims to Have
Discovered the Body of Il Baby
While Hunting.
City. Detective Germ is now engaged
in running down a sensational story
which has been going the rounds on the
West side to the effect that the body of
an infant a few days old was found in a
box about four miles from the city in a
southwesterly direction. The box was
found by a hunter lying on the open
prairie.
Detective Germ traced the various
stories in circulation down to a Polander
named Adolph, who lives in a shack on
the West side, and who cam back from
a hunting trip and told several people
about seeing a box containing the body
of a young baby lying on the prairie.
As the man had gone out TO Belt it
was impossible to verify the story, but
when he returns today Detective Germ
will interview him in relation to the
matter. Meanwhile he is inclined to be-
lieve that there is nothing in the story,
and that Adolph has been practicing on
the credulity of his friends by some
Munchausen tales.

MINING SHARE Juror,
Everything Else Is Being Neglected in


LONDON, Dec. 5.-Money rates last
week we're fairly sustained by the con-
tinued withdrawal of gold for Paris. AL
though the subscription for Barring de-
bentures was open for only a few hours
offers were received for three times the
amount of the debenture, largely on the
Barring guarantee. The debentures are
already quoted at a premium. This is
regarded as a healthful sign. and with
the settlement of a phenomenal account
in the mining market was the chief
event of the week. The market for
American securities was utterly ne
elected, operators tiocking to the mining
markets, whose business is assuming
such dimensions that the stock exchange
committee is being pressed for greater
facilities, especially to allow the liquida-
ton of accounts in the better class of
mining shares through the clearing
houses. Shares Of the chartered com.
pany were up 3s. Cd. on the week.
