New York, Dec. 1S.-Next Friday
there will be many queer Christmas
Hastings in this broad land of ours,
but the one that will outrank all others
will be the celebration in the grim
gray stone fortress, that prince of
prisons, Sing Sing. The dull granite
walls are terribly thick there, and poor
Santa Claus could not break in if he
came armed with a sleigh full of dyna
mite bombs. Sour-looking guards with
sleek Winchesters dot the tops of the
walls, others with bullying hip pockets
swarm over the grounds, moving slowly
and never seeming to see anything,
but seeing everything. Iron gratings,
iron doors, stone floors, stone walls,
everything iron and stone-small won

the rest of the world has a hard time

and metal into the 1900 hardened
hearts within.

ONE NOT EASILY MOVED.
True Story of What Was Needed to
Get a Move on Mr.. Blank.

A pretty girl living near New York is
affected with a large number of would-be
beaux, but has no use for any of them.
For one in particular she has less than
no use.
He showed up one evening in a bicycle
suit and while he sat in the parlor with
the pretty miss, the pretty girls little
brother sewed the bicycle cap firmly
down to the corner of the hall table and
then dumped all the oil from the callers

But Mr. Blank never murmured while
he picked the stitches from his cap as
he said good night, and walked the two
miles and half home without COM
plant.
OF course the pretty girl thought that
Mr.. Blank would never show up again
and gave little brother half dozen bear
hugs as a reward for bouncing him. But
ten days later Mr.. Blank appeared again
in evening dress, with silk hat 1t was
an awful hot night, but little brother was
on deck just the same, and thin Slice
Of limburger cheese went under the lin

Mr.. Blank did not depart until 1870 that
evening, but nothing was ever heard
Of the cheese. This time the pretty girl
and little brother made bets at odds of

to the 1.325-foot level, and it will be
sunk still deeper before levels are run

THE CACTUS COPPER MINE.
In the northern portion of San Fran
cisco district, about three miles north
of the Horn Silver mine, is what is
known as Copper Gulch, one of the
largest enterprises that Beaver county
has been able to boast of for many a
day, is now just about ready to be
launched.
During the past few months refer
ence has been made in these columns
to the fact that the Cactus Mining
company was engaged in the erection
of mammoth concentrating works on
its valuable copper properties in the
gulch, and The Herald is pleased to
be able to announce that within the
next few days this magnificent plant
will be ready to start UP.
This new plant, which is being in
stalled under the superintendency of
Professor ]. E. Luce, will have a ca
pacity of from 100 to $50 tons of crude
ore daily.
The equipment of the concentration
embraces the latest and best machin-
cry that money can buy, and the plant
is model of excellence throughout.
The two boilers are perfect in every
respect, being of the Marine type and
possessing a combined capacity of 200
horsepower, while the Norbert rs
horse power engine. direct from Mil
waukee, is one of the
FINEST PIECES OF MECHANISM
ever brought to this western country;
and besides this engine, which will
furnish the power for the operation of
the plant. there is a 15-horse power
Brownell engine which will run the
dynamo which is to generate the cleo
trio fluid that is to furnish light for the
entire workings in the gulch. To crush
the ore four Bradley mills have been
installed, each of which has a crush
ing capacity of 80 tons of crude ore
every "a hours, and this pulp will be
fed into Is Trent vanners and as the
concentrates come from these ma
chimes they will be dried on a steel
floor under which artificial heat will be
supplied.
Besides the concentrator the COM
pany is erecting fine hoist, the gal

ducing and adding to the output of
the camp. The town also was Won
der for a frontier mining camp, and
among the substantial buildings that
are left as landmarks and monuments
of the former greatness of the town
there are a number of large stone
structures that give promise of out
lasting the memory of the present gen.
Grafton. One Of these is the $4,000
hotel building. over which mine host
Sackett now presides, while the Horn
Silver store occupies two or three of
these solid structures that were erected
in most substantial manner and at
an expense OF a mint of money.
The scarcity of water had much to
do with the decay Of Frisco and the
partial abandonment of the camp, and,
strange as it may seem, the building
of the railroad to the district also
helped along the disintegration, as with
the coming of the road a great many
freighters were thrown out of employ
ment and the smelters were later on
shut down, as it was found that it
was cheaper 10 haul the ore to Salt
Lake valley for sale and treatment
than TO work it at the mine, and with
