ets Today he owns a block Of stock in
the Alaska Commercial company for
which he paid $65, 900; he owns hotel In
Oakland, Cal, that cost him $4,000; he
has property at Nome City that rents for
$500 a month, and he owns two claims on
Anvil creek, one of which he has declined
to sell for $4,000. BY living on the re-
turn from his present investments from
this time forth, Hiram Belding could have
an income of $4,000 or more yearly. Two
years ago this month all his possessions
amounted to just $216.
AS he sat in the lobby of the Hotel del
Coronado, in this city, today and talked
with several prominent capitalists from
Los Angeles and San Francisco about in
vestments involving tens of thousands OF
dollars, Hiram Belding looked very little
like Hi Belding who sailed from Seat
tie for Alaska to seek his fortune twenty
four months ago. He wore garments of
the latest fashion and finest weave His
overcoat was as costly as may be bought
In the city. His immaculate linen, his
patent leather shoes and his FURNISHED
silk hat all told of excellent grooming.
A huge diamond blazed on his shirt front
and another ShOne from his hand. He Oc-
cupies fine suite of rooms at the hotel
Before he sailed for Skaguay, Alaska, in
April, 1885, he occupied room that cost
him 20 cents a night, and he got two
meals a day for Is cents each.

came to find my gold mine,'' said Mr.
Belding to me. -rsssE

space and in high niche in the main
body of the tower are cascades, while all
about the basin are leaping jets and
countless playful figures, each with its
squirt of water, combining to make
brilliant water scene. At the center Of
the niche is tall geyser fountain, whose
water finds their way from the high
basin within the niche over successive
ledges ana among a multitude of vases to
the level of the pool.
The main body of the tower is eighty
feet square From the surface Of the

structure is enriched by a system of

Sculpture plays an important part In the
decoration of the tower. Two magnificent
monumental groups Of statuary flank
each of the four sides of the base. Above
the water niche in the southern face of
the tower is a magnificent escutcheon,
representing the arms and seal of the
United States. In the spandrels Of the
arch above the niche are sculptures in
high relief The paviions and wings are
also richly decorated with sculptures and
other architectural devices. The entire
exterior of the tower will be studded
with myriads Of electric lights SO ar
ranged that a great variety of effects
can be secured. The use of electrlc lights
in combination with the sparkling foun-
tains ard cascades will produce scenes
of fantastic beauty.

The 6ignifed and stately beauty Of the
great electric tower, which will form the
conspicuous centerpiece Of the exposition,
Will command the rapt admiration Of
avery visitor. The genius of the architect
has been taxed to preserve lines and ele-

proportions, but the problem has been
well mastered.
The height Of the tower is S4S feet above

The main shaft of the tower terminates
in an elaborate entablature at the height
OF 200 feet. The crown of the tower res,s
upon this entablature, and is composed
of three stories of diminishing proper

these stories is an arcaded loggia, rich

A most remarkable story Of sudden rise
from hopeless poverty to affluence has
just come from the new Golconda on the
bleak shore of Northwestern Alaska. The
story relates the experience of Hiram

in Alaska-a search that was unsuccess-
full until he reached the ruby sands Of
Cape Nome, and which then was reward
