WEALTH IN MINE DEBRIS.
Old Proprietor Makes . Fortune Out Of
..l,a. THE "Tailings."

Old Prospsotor Makes . Fortune Out Of
.r-, tire "Tailinss.'
There are some men In this world
who have to toll for a mere apology
" a llvipg--and then there are others.
Dne Of these latter is Mr.. Luce, Of the,
Cargo Muchacho. Luce's experience
leads like romance. For twenty,
years he had knocked about the coast,
IN the desert, In the mountains, pros
pecting and miping, and had finally,
by hard work and the closest economy
managed to scrape together few
aundred dollars.
One day on the shores of the Colo.
'ado some twenty miles north of Yu.,
wa, he met an old Mexican, who told
him of deserted mine some ten miles
back from the river and seven miles
aorth Of Hedges. Luce's interest was
,roused, and he visited that mine, to
ind there an abandoned twenty-stalnp.
pill which had pounded away for
many years and flpally shut down.
Luce SXEhlhed the property, md dis.
covered that there WIS a small lnoun,
lain of taytags. the accumulation Of
fears. piled up behind the mill. He
Asted these tallings with cyanide.
Then he measured the pile roughly
Ind estimated there was over 100000
ions Of the stuff there. That night he
wrote to the president of the COM.
pany in New York City offering ten
tents per ton for the tailings on a
basis of 100000 tons. The president
read the letter, looked surprised, and
sailed the directors together. They
read the letter, looked wise, tapped
their fOreheads significantly and
laughed to each other.
'"l'hls poor fellow Luce should be
called goose" said one. ,
deserts proved too much for him
probably gone daft" observed an.
other.
Not one Of them thought these tall
lngs were worth anything, and they
had almost entirely forgotten that old
niue out ~ tbs Colorado desert. Bat
they ahswGted the letter, telling Luce
to 10 ahead. -, - <;5',n -.asss2s;e, /.
On receipt Of tina letter Luce imme.
aiatelv erected a cyaaide plant. costing
him about 500 OF his own and his
friends money. Then he hired fifteen
Mexlcans and indians and began
work on these tai'ings, One day some
representatives of the mine company
were returning from Gan FRANCISCO,
and passing through the Desert, they
thought they would visit the mine.
"How are your said LUCE. "Glaa
10 see you. BY the way. W might as
well fix up our little accounts now
ms at any time" and 90 saying he
threw the astonished Gotharnites o
rheck for $4,000. Then he explained
that In the nine months he had been
running the cyanide plant he had
rleaned up 5000 and that there was
plenty Of failing in sight to net him
100000 within three years.

In the Mexican HousehoId

The arrangement Of furniture Ia
much more formal than in the United
States. 1t is a very common sight to
see n splendidly furnished parlor with
row of straish backed chairs all
alike with their backs against the wall
and as close together as they can be
placed clear around the room.
Heavy single doors, such as are
used in the United States, are practl-
cally unknown in Mexican houses
either at entrances or between in.
terror rooms. All doors open in the
middle and are fastened with bolts
top and bottom. Exterior doors are
always fitted with glass panels, for
they also serve as windows All such
doors opening on the street or open
that are folded at the sides out Of
SIGHT when not in use.
A good Mexican cook relieves the
mistress of the house Of worry and
responsibility in manner that is al
most unknown in the United States
The cook is given SO much a day, and
with this amount she will purchase
each morning all the provisions for
the day, including even the staples
that are usually bought in large guam
titles In other countries. On a dollar
day cook will provide q very good
table for family Of three or four,
and get enough beans and tortillas
and chile to set the servants table be-
sides. Tney can really do better than
their mistrcsscs, because they can U.S.
ually drive sharper bargains with the
markatmen Of their own class, and
they have more patience to haggle
over the lakt penny,

A German banker, aIeiing by rail
in first-class carriage toward Vienna
had as a fellow traveller at one of the
intermediate stations an old gentle
man, who entered into conversation
and proved very pleasant. The banker
got out before his companion, and be-
fore he did so asked the latter how far
he was going. The gentleman replied
ITO Vienna. II have a daughter very
well married there" said the banker" Il
should like to give you a note Of intro
duction to her" Il have also a daugh-
ter very well married there said the
other. would it be too great liberty
to ask her nance" My daughter" the
gentleman answered, lis married to the
Emperor OF Austria" 1t was the old
King Of Bavaria.

CROSBY & HILL.

How England Took Gibraltar.
Gibralter was taken by the English
in 1904 during the war of the Spanish
succession, war which was provoked
by the aggressive policy OF France in
endeavoring to place monarch of the
French family upon the Spanish
throne, and thus consolidate the two
Kingdoms into one. The fortress was
then captured almost by surprise,
though the Spaniards and French, ap-
preciating the strategic value of the
place, made desperate efforts to re-
cover 1t, but were repulsed at every
point. Between the date Of its capture
and 1873 repeated efforts were made
by Spain to recover the fortress, and in
the latter year the greatest armament
that was ever brought to bear upon a
bcsieged place lay before Gibraltar.
The siege lasted, off and on, for many
months. The investing force comprised
1900 troops of France, over twice as
many of the best infantry of Spain,
and the fleet consisted Of forty-seycn
ships, all three-deckers; ten great
floating batteries, esteemed invincbles,
carrying PIP guns; innumerable frig-
ates, bomb-ketches, cutters, gun and
mortar boats For weeks together over
5000 shells a day were thrown into the
town and repeated attempts were made
to storm the works, but the little gar
rison of only 1000 men repealed every
assault and finally succeeded in beat
ing off the allied fleet. The blockade
began June 81, 1873. and lasted until
February, 1888. when the garrison was
finally relieved by the arrival of a
British fleet and army. Since that
time the Notifications of Gibraltar
have been SO improved and increased
that 1t Is regarded as the strongest
fortress in the world. The British gov
eminent maintains there a garrison of
from 5000 to 10000 men, with pro-
visions for six months and 1t is said
the supply of military material is suf-
flcient to enable the fortress to stand a
siege of indefinite length

The Executive Committee OF David.

ment OF q complete system of water
works for the College, large enough to

The water will a'so be furnished to all
the College boarding houses, and the
town is taking steps to CO operate with
the College and extend the system
throughout the corporation for the use
of all the citizans.

HAD THa CAM PAIGN COMMIT
TEE BORROWED IT7

o. November 3O5h, 1895, the then
Secretary of State paid into the State
Treasury what the auditors voucher
accompanying the payments said was
collections on the accounts to which
credited ''to date" This was his last
payment Into the Treasury.
When DR.. Oy Thompson was inau
gurated January H. 1897, the same
outgoing Secretary of State turned
over to Dr.. Thompson or the same &C
counts (Which, as the last payment
Nov. Both was Ito date" should have
been for the amounts collected on these
accounts between Nov. Both, 1896, and
January 12sh, 1872 the sum of So,

8 gcretary State show that on these

81, were only 1885 SO These being
facts, it is evident that 50 $3.50 Y of the
cash turned over to DE-. Thompson was
collected before Nov. Both, 1896, and
should have been turned over to the
State Treasurer then or before, and the
mystery is, where was this 50. 55S OF
