How . Poor Naturalist Got the Beginning
of q Fortune of SS5, 900. 900.

~~AA~
John James Mage, - quiet, middle aged
man, has had a career as romantic as that
of Monte Cristo Mage is now d Guate-
malan millionaire, who lives nine months
Of tho year in Paris. Twenty years ago he
was O poor English collector of insects in
Guatemala, and also acted as the British
vice consul at San Jose.
One day Comlnandante Gonzalez ordered
Mayo to appear before him. Mage sent
word that he would come in short time
This incensed the commandante, and he
sent file of soldiers after Mage, and when
tho insect collector appeared ordered rs
lashes to be laid upon his bare back. This
was done very thoroughly, and when it
was finished Gonzalez shouted:
Give him Is more for luck
When Mage recovered, which was only
after careful nursing, as his back was bad
~ cUt up, he made formal complaint to
tho British government. The result was
that Guatemala was ordered to punish
Gonzalez and to pay Mage $500 (e1O0) for
every lash he had received. In default of
this English cruisers would shell San Jose
and other coast cities.
Guatemala readily punished Gonzalez,
but tried hard to evade paying $50, 900 to
Mage. The British, however, were mex
orable, and tho poor collector was made a
comparatively rich man in one day. AS
he had more coin than any one in the
country at that time, President Barrios
went into partnership with him.
Mage became one Of the largest coffee
planters and also secured the contract for
building docks in the ports. No ono can
land or leave one Of these docks without
paying toll to Mage, while he also levies a
tax on all freight. He also owns valuable
mines and tracts of timber. His fortune is
estimated at $1,000, 900, all due to 100
lashes on his back.-Chilean Times

+. Fl. Berg. the Plerz merchant,
was in Little Falls Tuesday. He re-
ported that tions never pointed
to better crops in his town. The
farmers of the eastern part of Nor
risOn county have seeded q little less
acreage OF wheat this season than
usual-he estimates a reduction OF
about 20 per cent. The increase has
been mostly in corn, oats, barley and
rye.
The prospect is not as bright for
lumbermen, as there has at no time
this season been water enough in the
small streams to allow driving. A
few logs have been sluiced through
some of the dams on Skunk brook,
but practically no progress has been
made ON Platte or Hillman.
A German named Hartman from
the southern part OF the state has en-
tered into partnership with Jacob
Neissius. the harness maker, and the
firm will carry general line of hard

Joe Buchanan and Clemens KOer-
mig have dissolved partnership in the
meat market business. Koernig will
open market in the north part of

The village council has purchased

Water and Logo.

The Grand Rapids Magnet of Tues
day gives n rather Encouraging re-
port about log drives and the stage OF
water ON the Upper Mississippi and
tributaries. 1t says that the raine
of last week did not add materially
to the flow in the Mississippi at that
place. Last fall the reservoirs were
dra wn very low to help navigation,
and the scarcity Of rain and snow
since has left the reservoirs with less
water than ever before. No drives
can come from POkegema or above
without heavy rains, and Willow
and Bear rivers are very low. The
drives on Prairie and Swan are d DING
better. The Magnet says, "What is

has sent in his resignation, to take effect on
the first of March. Mr.. Nichols has been

There are something like 500 men in the
district of DeLamar at present. The April
Fsol and Jim Crow are two of the leading
mines in the district. One group of mines
changed hands several months ago for over
| $500, 900. When the new railroad from
Salt Lake City to Los Angeles is completed
the DeLamar and other rich mining districts
in eastern Nevada, will be opened up to the
outside world.
Mr. Nichols was superintendent of the
Phoebe Con. Co.'S property here about two
years ago and proved to be a gentleman Of
much ability and was liked exceedingly we'll
by everyone, A better man could not have
been chosen for the responsible position Mr.
Nichols is about to take and we wish him
the best of luck in his position.

Adolph Sutro has decided that within the
next four months handsome building will
replace the old Cliff House which was de-
stroyed by fire on Christmas night The
new Cliff House will be a more handsome
structure than the old, and will cost S5O,-

The new structure will cover an area OF
92xl00 feet and will be five stories in height,
the upper floors to be surrounded by broad

hang further out over the cliffs than the old
did, and to do this safely the foundation
will be supported by heavy timbes imbedded
in the rocks-EX
