all of New York.
Mr.. Swarzman was seen in the after
noon and talked in a very entertain
| ing manner. He said: your city is
planned magnifeently, and all that [
do not like is the unpaved streets I
have visited the principal points of in
terest and am highly pleased with all
I have seen.
| Our whole party has been merely
on a pleasure trip. and we are now re-
| turning to New York from San Fran
cisco. We left Mr.. H. G. Bunner at
Rodonda Beach, where ne will stay for
his health. Mr.. Bunner is the editor
of Puck. and after years OF work has
broken down and now will stay in Cal
ifornfa to recuperate his lost health.
/ Glow is Puck? It is splendid It
/ has been a success from the start. al
/ though it took some time at first for
/ Mr.. Keppler and myself to understand
the style Americans wished.
I'VE have an excellent staff and ] am
continually looking out for good men
and especially good cartOOnists. The
/ latter are rather scarce now and con-
sequently are in great demand, for
within the past few years our two best
men have died
| "a man who can draw well and who
/ has plenty of original ideas can COM
mand very comfortable salary"
/ Mr. Swarzman is a bright little gen.
tleman and is rather stout, speaking
with slight German accent
After this rest of some weeks he
will return to the Empire state re-
/ freshed and ready again for business
| A good looking old gentleman sat in
the Cullen rotunda yesterday talking to-
a group of mining men.
| He was no other than Colonel r. II.
Hawkins of Montana. an old-timer who
has not visited this city for thirty
years. He was rather Ioath to talk OF
his affairs. but the Corridor Man CLEAN

bears a resemblance to king Lear.
having a snow white beard, and rather
long gray hair which falls to his Shout
| ders in quite a. mass. Mr.. Hawkins is
little over go now. but he says this
must not be told. Because, ne add
ed in a whisper. ''tfis is leap year.
He said: give been mining for th1r-
tv wears throughout the western states
and I'm still one OF the boys. I'm
down here to look into some Mercur'
property on which a friend of mine has
an option and perhaps we shall close
up a big deal.
Montana never looked better. The
discovery of copper and gold within the
city limits of Helena has set every one
crazy. One place where they have
gone down only fifteen feet has wild
ened out and four feet of ore. which
goes 5000 to the ton. is being taken out.
The samples have seen are very fine
indeed
And this year Montana will be rich
! in more than one way The stock men
report a good winter and a fine mar
ket. and Notwithstanding the depres-
sion silver is taking a. decided turn for
the better.
1.-THE Great Northern has moved its
entire plant from Helena to Clancy.
and now this latter place is having a
decided boom and will be made a divi-
sion. Old Man Hill offered the COM
pany 10 acres to put their plant on up
| there. They accepted and now the rest
of his property has just doubled in
value.
IT visited your stock exchange this
morning and it is entirely too slow.
/ 1t doesn't resemble the exchange [ in
augurated in San Francisco years ago.
when we used to buy mines by the
| foot.
your city is wonder. I cannot
remember that anything remains
which [ saw here thirty years ago, and
/ it goes far beyond my estimate.
''When I return from Mercur I may
be able to give you something more
interesting. but for the present good
day"
