one in many respects. and the following
from the Carson Appeal as to how he
made his start will be read with interest:
He came to Nevada poor, and In fact,
seedy, and hardly knew where his next
meal was coming from. But he was a
man of great mental resources and tire
mendous physical energy and he had a
great idea. II was the draining OF the

pany signed 9 contract to pay him q per-
petusl royalty on all the ore extracted
from the Comstock after the tunnel
reached the Savage mine. They thought
that was the last Of IL, for soon afterward
he disappeared. When he returned IL was
with the backing of the McCAlmut
brothers OF Scotland. He began the work
Of sending several miles Of tunnel through
the rock and il cost in the neighborhood
Of $1,000, 900.
When the mining companies saw that he
was really in earnest they became alarmed
and made q combination 10 fight the
scheme. They went into Congress with
it: and waged war that most any living
man would not have faced. but he stayed
in the ring, battered, bruised and bleed.

The United States battleship Maine was
blown to pieces in Havana hsrbor about

was terrific and buildings were shook and
windows broken in the city. Consserna-

excitement at Washington and over the en-.

meagre particulars of the awful disaster.
Its cause is still shrouded In mystery and
speculation. Opinion seems to favor the
theory that it may have been due to the
explosion OF q bomb in the ship, probably
placed there by visitors who had been on
board during that day.
