The famous Hindu holy man is dead.
His name was Swami Bhaskarananda
and he lived in the city of Benares.
This devout Brahmin, who kept him
self naked and self-immured, was visit

during their stay at Benares, including
the Prince of Wales. He spent his life
in a rigid posture, "giving no heed to
his visitors and patiently waited for
death in the holy city which, according
to Hindu belief, means life everlasting.

Madrid abounds in slums, which are
even greater eyesores than those of

narrow old streets, bordered by the
most uninviting novels; and from the
squalor OF these abodes spring the
components of the ferocious mobs

 It seems an Cdd coincidence that two crude attempts at telegra phing-one almost a failure and the other I com plete success-should have been made near the little pert Of Arroyo ha,f century e. more apart The first was Prof Morse's initial effort, with hand made instruments, over a defective and poorly insulated wire. and the seccnd was Colonel Glassf9rd's undertaking at the landing cf our Jrcors in July last. Our advance toward Guayalna was made so rapidly that the signal corps had not been able to land sufTl- cient supply of wire before We were already engaging the enemy on the outskirts Of the town, five miles from the waser frcnt. The emergency was successfully met by using the top wire of an almost conlingcus barbed wire fence. just as it stood sla2led to the pests. All the open spaces were looped in with shcrt pieces of wire. and while the fight went cn messages raced to ard f-o from front to coast over this novel telegraph line.

Sixty-eighc millions Of shining si.- vec dollars are being transferred from vaults iii the postcnce buiIding and al the mint to a recently completed vault on the new mint site, at Sixteenth and Spring Garden streets. The work be- gan on Tuesday. and as each of the three express wagons used for the ser vice carries S60,C00 CD trip. ten trips being made daily. it will be at least three months before the task is com p.eted. The treasure. Which. it may be said, secures the issues of silver certi- fcates. is sealed in bags and then boxed. $1 GOO in Q box. Each box weighs sixty pounds. and it will thus be seen that the SG0,G00 lead placed up on Q wagon is no small burden. The weight Of the metal alone is a safe guard agaias- robbery. but as much care is being taken to prevent a possi- ble substitution of bogus boxes as though gold currency was at stake
 Of the sixty-eight million dollars about twenty million dollars has been secreted in a vault at the postoffice

gives an acknowledgment to the pre- vious custodian
 The plan is simple, but effective, and the elements of danger surrounding the transfer are so small as to make them unworthy of consideration Fha mint bureau, however, will not eVer run partiel risk and in order to ab- soiutely safeguard the money, a corps of detectives, secret service men prob ably, patrol the thorougnfa-as through which the silver laden wagons pass. The vehicle is in sight of these guard ians from the time it leaves one vault until the destination is reached. Should an axle break or some other accident befall the wagon, the detectives would surround it in less time than 1t takes to narrate the possible incident. MT. Bomberger is aided in receiving the silver al the new vault by William E. Morgan, an old mint bureau official.
 The steel receptacle which is re- ceiving the coin is. perhaps, the most complete vault in the country. It is 50 massive that when one enters the interior he imagines he is in a Jail. There are twenty-six compartments and each has g. separate lock on the stout iron doors. Four millions oi the silver is being placed in each com par-ment. and seventeen of them will therefore be utilized for this purpose. The nine remaining cells" will prob ably be used for the storage of gold and silver bullion and gold currency New York Herald

MINING NOTES

The success that is following the op- crations Of the Grand Canyon copper mines, that originally lay in Yayapai, but now belong to Coconino county, is due directly to the efforts Of W. H. Ferguson of this city. Some months ago Mir Ferguson interested BostoL capital in the project, and the merits of the property being so satisfactorily presented in examination of the ore bodies and the result of samples, Q sale was made Since the commence ment of work with a large force of men, the returns have been very grat- flying and today the mine is unques- IionaIbly one Of the copper bonanzas Of the country. The ore body being uE- covered today is so extensive and 50 high in percentage of copper as to ere ate the impression that it has no equal Assays run as high as 80 per cent cop per with some gold and silver.
