ACTRESS

The United States can boast three
actresses whose aggregate fortunes
amount, at a moderate estimate, to So
600, 900 each. OF these Miss Crabtree,
known to fame as "Lotta," owns no less
than half. a fortune which yields her
5000, 900 a year. She Owl property in
Boston alone which is worth a million
dollars and she has also a substantial
stake in nearly all the leading cities OF
the states, from New York to Cincin-
natl. The remarkable thing about this
colossal fortune is that Lolita owes ev-
cry penny Of Ii TO her own industry and
thrift. Her father was a small coal
dealer on Staten Island, and her name,
~Crabtree,' was associated only with
Goals sold by the hundredweight. Lot
ta's nearest rival in wealth among fol-
lowers of the stage is Maggie Mitchell,
who is a millionaire in dollars two and
a half times over. Her large fortune
was due In the first place TO an acct
dent. She was alling minor parts in
q st. Louis theater, when that most
popular play, "Fanchon, the Cricket"
fell into the hands of the leader OF the
orchestra. He thought 1t peculiarly
suited to the gifts Of the promising
young actress, and forthwith adarted 1t
for her. The play proved a veritable
gold mine to the lucky actress, and she
is said to have made half . million
from II alone. Miss Fanny Davenport,
who forms the third in this trinity OF
wealthy actresses, laid the foundation
of her fortune twenty years ago, when
she came under Mr.. Days auspices.
Her great beauty, as we'll as her clever
acting, made her the rage for many
years, during which she acted Sardou's
plays to enthusiastic houses. Unlike
many actresses, she was as thrifty as
she was fortunate. and invested her saw
ings in real estate in Chicago and Den
yer, which is now of an estimated value
of $500, 900. In addition to this sub
stantial fortune, she possesses jewelry
worth s100,000

Dakota Mine.
SIOUX City Journal. The mystery ~
,ue famous South Dakota .tin mine"
Aas at iast been solved. The mine in
questlon was a good deal talked about
u the newspapers a few years ago. II
was said 70 be very rich. Great prom
ises were made of its assistance in nro-
monng the industrial welfare of the
olack hills, when it should begin to
pour It's wealth to the surface. Tin
Hills OF the first magnitude were pro-
Jecled i the minds of sanguine specu-
iators to consume its product. The min
erai was there in great quantities, II
was alleged, and all that was needed to
ae'eiop 1t and give all this western
country a boom was capital. To secure
Ihe needed capital negotiations were
opened with an English syndicate. In
the presence of its representatives the
mine yielded up tons of treasure. Hav-
Ing got 1t, why was it not worked?
nat was the mystery. There were va
rious speculations concerning it. The
NAol SECAhSu W SttuIC LuC
most credence was that the English
men who had bought the mine were ex-
tensively interested in tin properties
elsewhere, and that it was to their in
terest not TO increase the production Of
the metal TO the extent that its opera
tlon would do, and that they would
make more money by keeping its treas
ures hidden in the bowels OF the earth
than by bringing it up TO the surface
to bring down the price Of tin as its
great abundance threatened to do. The
subject dropped out Of the public mind.
1t is now revived and the mystery ex-
planned by Charles NJ. Dobson, a min
ing engineer, who writes a story about
Mine Salting" in the current Cosmo-
politan Magazine. OF the Black Hills
proposition he says: "A tin mine in
South Dakota not far from Harvey
Peak, was for sale, and some English
capitalists were investigating. Many
tons OF the finest cassiterite ore we're
dug from the claim. 1t surpassed in
richness the better grades Of Cornish
ore. A car load was taken TO the smell
ter and proved to be all that could be
wished. The property was bought and
the mouey paid down, sixty tons of cas-
s~iterite were mined and not an n
more, for the whole sixty tons had been
bought, selected Cornish ore, then
shipped to the lonely spot, dumped into
the gulch and covered UP some five
years before" This, the expert declares,
was the most gigantic case Of mine
sailing on record. The English In
vestors appear to have quietly charged
their loss up to the account of expe-
rienee. The transaction is a very COM
plete explanation of the mystery why
the mine was not worked. The owners
were worked instead.

ANoLo-AMERicAN MAILS.
Long and shert Routes Between New

London Evening Standard: A par
liamentary return, issued yesterday,
shows the time occupied in the transit
OF her maiesty's mails, both outward
and inward, during 1897, by steamships
between Queenstown and New York,
and also between Southampton and
New York. The time occupied in
transit" specified in the return. is the
interval between the delivery of the
mails to the vessel at the port of de-
parture and their receipt by the post
office at the port of arrival. The re-
turn shows which Of the vessels car
ried mails under contract with her mai
esty's government. OF course the voy-
ages occupying least time were those
between Queenstown and New York.
The shortest period occupied on the
longer route was by the North German
Lloyd steamship Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse. which. in November, accom-
plished the voyage from New York TO
southampton in five days twenty-five
hours and Is minutes. The shortest

Lucania, which in September per-
formed the voyage from Queenstown
to New York in five days fourteen
hours. The homeward voyage vas
made by this vessel during the same
month in a period only forty-fiye min
utes longer. The Lucania and the
Campania, both Cunard steamers,
each on one occasion made the passage
outward from Queenstown in five days
n fifteen hours. The Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse has a displacement OF TO-
600 tons, and engines OF q, 900 indicat-
ed horse power, the ocean speed being
given as twenty-five knots. She was
built last year. The Campania and

engines Of 10000 indicated horse pow
er, b ocean speed being twenty-one
knots. They are 610 feet in length,
or fifteen feet shorter than the German
vessel. The Teutonic, belonging to the
White Star Company, crossed from
Queenstown to New York In five days
twenty-one hours and forty-ive min
utes, in the month of August. On six
occasions the Lucania performed the
outward voyage from Queenstown in
less than six days, and the return jour
ney from New York in like manner on
nine occasions, The Campania made
the voyage out from Queenstown in less
than six days on seven occasions. and
nine return voyages each within the
same limit of time. The passage be-
tween Queenstown and New York was
made in less than seven days by several
vessels in the list, and in some cases TO
