three now contemplated will rival any of the great features of the past.
 For instance, the buffalo. which an ardent concessonaire, who happens to be a loyal citizen of the Queen City as well. hopes to construct on one of the vantage spots within the eXposi- tion grounds, will fall not far short of the Ferris wheel as an attractive feature, for the buffalo builder is am bilious. It is his desire to have con structed on an open plot of ground at the head of the "panoramble" n gigan- tic representation of the brute which stands symbolical of the city in which the exposition will be held.
 Two hundred feet in the air the shaggy head of the great beast will rise and from his soulful eyes, which will be turned toward the not far dis tant Canadian shore. gleaming search lights will send their milky bars to the inner recesses of her majesty's do- main.
 In that section of the animal where the brains ought to be the prospective builder would place restaurant of more than ordinary beauty, and in the body of the animal the contemplation is to place a vaudeville theater, with a seating capacity of 2.O0O. In two of the legs winding starcases are to be erected and in the other legs electric elevators will make constant trips.
 Another idea, which was born in the brain of a man of biblical mould, is that of the "Jonah" theater, and the submitted plan calls for the construc- ton of n mammoth whale of iron and steel which is to lie anchored in shal-

low water near the banks of the ex- position. Dainty ferry boats are to ply between the shore and the mouth of the great whale, and those cheer full ones, who love to enjoy themselves in strange ways are to be ferried from the shore to the tongue of the floater. There a smooth young man will have his hands crossed with silver, and after this transaction the passengers will be at liberty to walk down the whales tongue to the room where for three days and three nights Jonah sat and mourned.
 In that section all will be light and cheerful, and on the stage vaudevlll- fans will kick and sing and cavort and musicians will add to the gayety of the scene and will make many believe that the ancient stories of .Tonah's troubles were much overrated.

 You ought to marry. John,' said he, "and have larger house."

MILLIONAIRE HEALEY'S SUMMER HOME.

He Is by no means q miSer, for he has several times made gifts of $l .OOO and $2.OoO to his vaqueroS, whom he likes. Last Christmas he deeded to a man on his range bunch of prime 4-year-old steers that were worth 1,S00. and he gave all in his employ ten or n twenty-dollar gold piece. He makes his headquarters and home in pine shan ty on the southern end of his great range, about thirty-tive miles north west from Cerillos station, on the Santa Fe route. There he sleeps in rude bunk built against the wall and above are two other hunks. where friend or a trusted yaquero sleeps occasionally.
 Frugal in His Expenditures.
 Healey cooks his own food but some times he has a cowboy help him at cooking. X lot of burned black kettles, a burned skillet, and a grimy old coffee pot and few battered pans. clipped dishes. and decrepit knives and forks on a greasy table near the stove all tell what sort of meals this unusual mil lionaire partakes of.
 He has never seen drama, heard q concert, or anything theatrical or oper- attic since 1870, and then in Fl Paso. About once a month, when there Is no work Jim Healey can busy himself at, and he feels in the mood. then the cat tie king will get out q three-gallon jug of claret (which he buys from the half breed Ind.ans) and produce several vel low paper packages of cheap tobacco. and he and several associates will sit and tell stories either about q camp fire or in the cabin for a few hours. But that's the end of the cattleman's dissi- patton. No one can induce him to have four weeks.
Stikeen River journal., 1899-09-16

Twenty years ago when he was In El Paso, Texas, with herd of cattle he met an old companion of his youth on the Texas border. The old friend had turned prospector and had been among the Dragoon mountains In Southern Arizona. Among the mineral proper ties he lad located was q copper claim, the Ranger by name. Healey is seldom touched blythe sentimentality of friend ship, but this time his friend told such tale of distress that Healey gave him outright $500 for two-thirds of the cop per claim. At different times Henley was persuaded to put $20O and $500 more to hold his share of the property legally intact. In 1892 the mine began to pay, and when Healey got $7,OO0 for one-thrd the mine, he thought his re- maining third was worth holding. When copper rose to 12 cents pound in 1897 Healcy got some $1 GOO month from the It,nger, and since copper has risen to Is and 19 cents, he has had be- tween $3,OOO and $3500 a month profit from it.
 His vaqueros say they believe the millionaire must be made of steel. He has been q physiological steam engine for over thirty-tive years. He literally knows no rest. He usually sleeps less than five out of the twenty-four hours, and is often in the saddle or in the cor raj for two days and nights at time. In these later years, when he has be- come so rich, he has several vaqueros about him always at night in the lonely mountains, where it would no trick at all for bandits to perpetrate some criln- inal design upon the wealthy cattle man. Frequently the old man will roll in a blanket alongside the camp fire on the range for the night. and with a sup per on crackers and cheese or boiled beans will go to sleep until the earliest streaks of daylight. when he will get up and go to work again.

 Start of the Healey Fortune.
 When the Navajoes were moved by the government to Southern New Mex leo in the latter eos, Jim Healey and other vaQuerOs went northward with little bands of cattle and settled on tracts of land close to the Arizona ter rtorial line. That was the beginning of the Healey fortune. In few years he had several hundred head of steers. Then he had several thousand. He spoke the Spanish tongue as we'll as his own. and no American knew the border and it's rude ways so well as Jim Hea- ley did With further sales of cattle he bought more land. So he has kept on buying land, trading for cattle and water rights. occasionally dabbling in sheep and wool until he has become more than millionaire.
 Up to twenty-five years ago Healey's sole unnecessary expense was gam bling. There are still tales in ancient Santa Fe of the times when Jim Healey returning from cattle drive to Trini- dad and Fort Dodge, used to sit in q faro game for forty-eight hours at q stretch and lose or win $7 7,OOO or $S,O0O at sitting. One night he saw the faro dealer give significant wink to pro- fessional player alongside Healey and from that moment he quit the tables. He has had his ups and downs in cat tie, the same as all other cattlemen. In the great freeze of 1878 he lost the greater part of herd that represented some $125.OOO. At another time he lost over S6O,OOO worth of cattle by reason of a lung plague and the Texas cattle fever
 The fearful depreciation in cattle and ranges, which set in at about 1890 and culminated in 1896. ruined many q cat tleman, but Healey not only hung to his herds and sold his cattle at little or no profit for six or seven successive I,1 1aI It, purchase of land from discouraged men who abandoned the industry. For three years he has been selling his steers at topnotch prices, and he is the fore most cattleman in New Mexico.
 Rich in Copper Property.
 The present marvellous boom in cop- per has also added to Healey's riches.

lives in a rude board shanty that could be duplicated for $50. Out of his an nual income of $1OO.O0O he spends less than $tiOO of it on himself.
