A Trip to Mount Lowe.

Among long list of Southern Cali
fornia surprises, day at Mount Lowe
will hold unique place and stand
high on the list. A few hours ride by
electric rail will take the pleasure seek
er from the latitude of palms to the
altitude of pines. Taking his salt wa
ter plunge at sea coast resort, he may
eat his breakfast there, and boarding
the electric cars at 10 a. IN. he can
lunch at Pasadena or Altedena, amid
the orange groves, flowers and vine
yards, and in two hours more reach
Echo Mountain on the great cable in
cline, the steepest and most unique
railroad in the world, marvel of gen
ius and miraculously directed electric
force. From Rubio pavilion, where
the white chariots start on the great
incline, the ascent is 1850 feet, making
direct rise of 100 feet, crossing a
bridge 100 feet long, the upper end of
which is 40 feet higher than the
lower. The cars are permanently at
tached to an endless cable, capable of
carrying one hundred and fifty ton,
aud so wonderful is the mechanism
that an accident is impossible. If any
thing should break the cars would
only stop. "LoOk and listenr' says
the courteous guide, and 81 will give
the signal for starting. The car above
at the other end starts simultaneously
with this one below" Lifting the
magic waud the invisible current flows
and presto! you go skyward at the rate

His FIRST Sight of a Railroad.

Joe Perkins, aged about 80 years, a
resident of Rioville, Nevada, arrived in
Kingman last Wednesday. There is
nothing strange in Mr.. Perkins coming
to Kingman, but the fact is that in the
thirty years of his life on this mum
dane sphere he had never set gaze on a
railroad until at Chloride, Tuesday, he
saw the northern terminal of the Ari-
zona and Utah. The thing looked nat
ural to him and he expressed no sur
prise at the wonderful Improvement a
locomotive is over the cart horse. The
strange sights of railroad life will un-
doubtedly be revelation to him, but
he ia no manner showed the impress
sion made. Mr.. Perkins has lived for
many years in Rioville, but this is his
first trip to the outer world.

The Denver Mining Record says: A
notable Englishman has been visiting
in this section of the country during
rhe past 10 days, but his presence has
not been announced until today. He
is Harold S. Buckley of Galtee castle,
Ireland. and Ryecroft hall, Lancashire,
England. The young man is a student
at Cambridge, and during the present
summer vacation took occasion to Wis
it America TO look after his fathers
numerous mining interests here. His
father is the largest holder in the eX-
| tensive mines at White Hills, Ariz.,
and the chief reason of Mr.. Buckley's
visit to the west was to visit the prop
| erty, which was accomplished much TO
the satisfaction of Mr.. Buckley, who
returns TO England with a good report.
Mr.. William Weston, the well known
! mining engineer of this city, met Mr..
Buckley iG New York and conducted
I him through the west. Before leaving
for Arizona they went to Cripple Creek
where one day was spent. Mr.. Buckley
was astonished at the forwardness in
mining in the great Colorado camp aud
said that he had no idea that the dis
trict could support such extensive
mining operations. As Mr.. Buckley's
father is chairman of one of the largest
banks in the old world the visit to
Cripple Creek cannot fail of bearing
some results. After leaving Cripple
Creek Mr. Buckley and Mr.. Weston
went direct to White Hills, Arizona,
and inspected the property there.
These mines had been managed by a
lot of rascally fellows who, according
to the owners, gutted the mine and
exhausted the treasury. The property
) has been put on working basis since
then through the careful and economic
management of Mr. Weston and sew
eral discoveries have been made which
with ample working capital will put
the company again on its feet. In the
meantime, Mr.. Buckley has been furn'
ishing the money for the work from his
/ private means. 1t is altogether prob
! able that ultimately new company
) will be formed. The present holding

STEAMER IS LOST IN ST. MARY'S BAY Not One of the Passengers Was
 Saved. NOTHING COULD BE DONE One Poor Fellow Was Seen in the Rig ging, Where He Died from the
 Severe Exposure-Shore
 Scene of Wreclzage
NOTHING COULD BE DONE

< St Johns, N. F., January 12.-IBut little news of the stamer reported last night as wrecked on a reef in St. Marys bay and on fire had been received nere up to noon today. No steamer can leave here for the scene of the wreck before this after noon.
 The Colinial cruiser Fiona Bay and the steamer Kite will be sent from Pacentia Bay as soon as possible today and save the survivors if any remain.
 A steamer leaving here today could not get to St. Mary's Bay before tomorrow.
 a. m. Saturday. Tho following com
 prises all the details regarding the wreck
 in St. Mary's Bay that could be obtained up to midnight: The ship Is a two-masted
 steamer of nearly 3,cOO tons and probably
 carried crew of 60, with possibly some
 passengers.
 She went asclore before day break on
 Thursday, striking ledge at the foot of
 the cliff, where escape was hopeless. The
 crew launched the boats. but probably dur
 ing the panic some were crushed against
 her sides, others being swamped, and all
 occupants apparently perished.
 The ship was seen to be on fire by resi-
 dchto olA ihiicS away. AtlidCleu tO uiiS
 scene, they found the after half of the
 wreck blazing fiercely and the fore part un-
 der water. Kerosene in the cargo helped the blaze
 At that time only three men were left on
 board Two were on the bridge and one
 was in the rigging Those on the bridge
 were safe until about 2 D. m. when they
 were washed overheard and drowned, the
 bridge being carried away. The survivor soon after left the rigging,
 swam to the rocks and twice endeavored to get a footing. Failing in this, he made his
 way back to the rigging where he died of exposure during the night. Many dead bodies are visible tossing in the surf Two of them thrown up in a cove cannot be reached owing to the heavy sea. One is thought to be that of wo- man.
 Boats and other wreckage are strewn among the rocks for miles. Yesterday Friday) was more stormy than the day before; and it was impossible to reach the wreck, which has gone to pieces and sunk | beneath the waves. A severe gale is rag ing tonight which is likely to reduce her to fragments.
 The wreck commissioner hopes to be able to obtain her name today Saturday,. Resi- dents along the shore made every possible effort to rescure the survivor in the rigging, but, lacking proper outfits, they were un- able to succeed.
 There is not the slightest prospect that any soul on board escaped death as the in- tense midwinter cold would kill any who escaped drowning.
 A messenger who has just arrived from Peters river reports that trunk filled with women's clothing has been washed ashore there. as well as garment which is either a waterproof cape such as used by wo- man, or mans overcoat. Nearby was found some underwear, evil dently mans, marked with the initials "J. J." This seemed to indicate that the ship had passengers.

 Rix subsequently met Rev Mills Rayford, a preacher, and shot him down. Death was instantaneous.
 A posse was organized and pursued Rix. He was overtaken, but resisted arrest. Drawing his revolver he fired upon the pursuers, woundtng one or two of them. His capture being impossible without the use of fire arms he was quickly shot down and died in a few minutes. Rix was de- ranged.

WORRIED WOMEN.
Women Worry About Little Things
 More Than They Ought,

Not enough iron in their blood. What has iron to. do with 1t? The iron of rich, red, strengthening, nourishing blood is one of the chief builders of nerve power.
 Iron makes strength. Weakness causes worry. Women who are weak and nervous are thin, pale or yellow-faced. They lack the rounded form of beautiful womanhood. They are irritable and hard to please. They suffer from headache, backache, rheuma- tism, neuralgia. They feel weak tired. un- happy miserable.
 Their pale color proves that they need iron to color their blood Their irrtabil- ity and nervousness, that they need it to tone up and strengthen their nerves. Their thinness, that they need it to cure their dyspepsia.
 They can get what iron they need in its best form from pr. Harter's Iron Tonic. Not an empirical solution of iron salts, but scientific prepatation of tested value. A preparation that for forty-two years has been curing the sick by hundreds of thous- ands.
 Health comes with plenty of iron in the blood. So does a strong constitution. The strength of iron is made from iron. pr. Harter's Iron Tonic banishes pain, brings back roses to faded cheeks, builds up nerves, conquers sickness. worthy lady of South Portsmout, Va. Mrs. M. J. Weel, corroborates the above in these words: For many. many years my blood was iron poor though did not know It. l used to have fresh, rosy cheeks and plump, rounded form. but by degrees my good looks faded away until I began to look like ghost I lost strength and am- bit1on and suffered from pains in my stom- ach, head, heart, back, muscle and bones. l gave myself up in despair. Finally good friend induced me to try Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic From the good symptoms which at once began to show themselves I saw wha t had been wrong with me. I had suffered from want of iron, and it remained for pr. Harter's Iron Tonic to supply it and cured me. l am now in good health and feel bet ter than I have for years'

 Immense crowds watched the departure of the dignitaries for the cemetery of Do- lores.
 A notable feature of the arrangements was that General Powell Clayton the American ambassador, was given the place ol honor at President Diaz' right during the ceremonies and the action of the am- hassador in sending an immense wreath of flowers as did also Lieutenant Clayton, military attache of the United States em- tassy, and was cordially commented upon.
 On the funeral cortege arriving at Do- lores, Vice President Mariscal pronounced an eloquent eulogy on his fellow minister ard said, among other things, referring to GGeneral Berriozabars career as an army youth, that he took the part for his country h the war of the North American inva- sion, a war which, said Vice President 1dariscal we should not now recall, save in rendering homage to our heroes.
 After the body had been laid in the tomb, President Diaz, Vive-President Mariscal and Ambassadcr Clayton personally laid magnificent wreaths on the grave.
 There is much comment in the press re- garding the article in the London Specta- tor which predicts that some day Europe will attempt the partition of South Ameri- ca, Germany taking Brazil
