ESCAPADE IN HIGH LIFE.
A Street Car Zebra Runs Away Down
FL PaSO Street.

A weary looking Aztec who consents
| to pose behind street car mule for a
moderate consideration, descended
| from his chariot at a. m, today at the
Stanton street terminus. He held in
| his hand the symbol of his noble Office,
the whiffle tree. A Juarez zebra was
at the other end of the traces, aud his
auricular elongations were laid back on
his hirsute shoulders in way that sug-
gested deep and speculative thought, if
not positive inten tiOn to get up and do
something.
He did do some .hipg-that mule In
an evil moment, the Aztec thought he
saw schooner of beer glistening in
the dim, misty distance, and with a con-
vulsive twitch, he involuutarily drop
ped the whiffle-tree to make q wild
frantic grasp for the supposed fluid of
Gam brinus. There was only a spark
needful to explode the magazine"
That spark was sprung, it was the
dropping of that whiffiet-ee. It fell on
the mules heels, and, and

The most popular parsonage" now

named lyman, at the
Jardin d'AcclimatatiOn. He sleeps in
a 81 900 bed which his admirers gave
him: has been taught to sweep, dust,
draw figures upoa slate, make his
toilet in the most elaborate fashion,
and make his bed. a little monkey
brings him his breakfast, after which
he washes his face and hands, puts on
his clothes and is ready to receive his
guests. He is really ashamed to appear
in a nude state now, and if so surprised
deliberately turns his back upon his
visitors. His bedroom contains d
large mirror and closet finished in
white and gold. lyman is wonder,
not because he has been able to
learn all his tricks, but in that he has
the power to convey his knowledge to
the little monkey in the cage with him
whom he now forces TO sweep the
room and perform other IN anial duties.

1t is believed that there will be in.
creased activity this year III the deyel-
opment of the mines OF American Fork
canyon, says the Salt Lake Herald.
This is magnificent mineral region,
and there is every reason to believe the
assertion that it has never been hall
prospected ~ yet and that in time to
come new producers will be found there
which Will surprise the mining world
with their wealth OF mineral.
American Fork canyon has had iss
great excitement in it's day, and in years
gone by it was one OF the most notI &
camps OF the state; its mines have made
national regulations, and are yet on the
list of producers were it not for the fact
that they have been sadly neglected dur
, ing the past few years.
Among the mines OF the canyon and on
Miller hill there is the Millar, which has
produced its millions and which came
near causing international complications
at one time in its history, On the Sun
day, adjoining, ore has been extracted
and shipped that assayed $l0S in gold to
the ton, besides some silver. The Wild
Dutchman, In the canycn, has paid
$4,000 in dividends and is still unex-
hausted, while in the district there are
such well known mines as the Whirl-
wind, the Milkmaid, the North Star, the
Kalamazoo and the Live Yankee, all OF
which have produced fortunes IN the
past and are still rich in their wealth of
the precious metals, besides which there
are numerous prospects in which there
is an excellent showing and which will
be operated to good advantage.
The Herald is informed that some
Denver parties will build 50-ton custom
stamp millin the canyon this year about
four miles above its mouth, and it is
believed that 1T Will Prove to bea paying
institution. 1t is also stated that a
large amount OF eastern capital will be
invested in the canyon this season, and
that there will bs great revival OF
activity there.
The Herald is also informed that last
fall Captain De Lamar made surveys in
the canyon with the view OF establishing
electrical works for the generation OF
power for his proposed Golden Gate mill

He must have found Napoleon's
famous coin! Some assert that the en-
peror kept the coin himself, but this hard
ly agrees with Napoleon's character. Still
1t is current theory that some of the
money which enabled Napoleon III TO
reach the imperial throne was found in
the lucky silver piece, which his mother
queen Hortense, had wheeded out of her
brother-in-law, 1t was also common talk
that Gen. Boulanger had acquired the
famous coin, until the discovery that his
money supplies came from the Duchess

The most likely explanation as TO WHY
the 5-franc piece fails to turn up is that
Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild. a French
member of the great Jewish banlking

that Baron de Rothschild, having investis
