NEW YORK. March 3o.-why Is It that
80 many actors die poor!
It's question often asked, and the
answer IL easy from a general standpoint.
Stage people are prodigate With their
money: their rowing manner OF lfe - not
conducive 10 saving. and they are thrown
against 40 many temptations that even
a Russell Sage might find some difficulty
were he OF the profession. 10 resist the
longing to blow In the coin Of the realm
as fast as payday came around.
But when the individual spending lido
syncrasIes OF the stage-folk are consid-
cred. 1t becomes mighty interesting
question. Every few weeks benent Is
announced for the family OF some deah
and gone light OF the stage-perhaps some
man who had been popular and big
money-maker In his day. There are very

Young Vanderbilt is Il years or age
and is II modest. quiet, young man, snS
with strangers. but a pleasant companion
with intIma.es. No one would suspect
from his manners or mode or living AT
college that he is destined 10 De one OF
the richest men in the world. II IS inns
very fact which has made him popular
among his college-mates. He Is nothing
of n snob and carefully avoids anything
bordering upon affectation. He IS plain
manly young fellow, with sound IDEAS
and little nonsense.
He has never figured I'm any OF the
riotous doing % the college-boys. and

ways ready with his pocket-book TO fur-
Their any legitimate scheme OF the college

nlshed with particular grandeur. and his
personal expenses are about the'same as

Harrison. son OF Mrs. Burton Harrison,
the well-known writer. Harrison IS heir

difficult manner for a stranger to decide

capacity for increased responsibilities.
| EX-SECHETARY WIIITNEY'S SON.
! Another young man who will inherit
great wealth Is Harry Payne Whitney,
, son Of William e. Whitley, ex-Secretary

The railroads of Texas will bring the

There will be music by myriads Of
bands; there will be concerts by trained

cheer will reign supreme. The boys who
left the older States ten, twenty, and

Washington, Nov. l3.-Benj amim
Il. Moore. Collector Of Customs at

Treasury Department a report from
Deputy Collector McNair, of Circle
City. Alaska, on Yukon river, about
eighty miles above Birch Creek. in
which i" states that after talking with
nearly every MINER who came in from
Birch Creek Mining District he is Of
the opinion that the amount,of gold
dust and nuggets taken out this sum
MGR will reach S4COO0O. The land,
he says, flows with whisky, and as
many of the claim owners, and most
of the Iaborers are aliens, he thinks
company of United States troops
should he stationed at Circle City.
The town now has one hundred and
twenty-five dwellings. fifteen saloons,
three stores. an opera house, etc. An.
other report from Deputy Collector
Lane at the port of kodiaF saws talks
with returning miners confirm the re.
ports that extensive mines have been

proved very rich in minerals but will

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.


Several OF the State papers are adj
Vocating the creation of State Min
ing Commission by the next Legisla-
ture. The Carson Appeal in the
course Of Il lengthy article on the sub
iect says that the Commission should
DE composed of five good. responsible
men with power to investigate at all
times the condition of mines and min
ing, and so vouch for mines that a
reference from them would be of val
ue to outside parties.
The Reno journal in commenting
on the proposed Commission, says:
Every likely good would result from
such Commission, but as it would
be expensive the mine owners might
not be disposed to bear the expense
and it would be unjust to pay the
Commission ont of the general State
fund. A prospector, too, might dis
cover a good mine and not having the
means to pay for an examination Of
the property by the State Commission
would be placed at iii sadvantage,
as he could not secure the indorse
ment Of the Commission"
The Carson News would like to see
the COMMISSION established, but
wants the scope of it's investigation
widened so as to take in all the cor
porations doing business in the
State.
The INDEPENDENT fails to see any
good to come from the proposed
scheme further than to give a few
moro men il place at the public crib
to fatten of the already overburdened
taxpayers of the State. The people
are paying too many officers now.
