An Humble Politician.

The Detroit Free Press tells of dis appointed office seeker who at last obtained gift through late-won hu- mility. When he arrived at Wash ington, it was with the idea that he was distinguished and prominent citizen: but after hanging about and swallowing disappointments, he be- gan to suspect that he was not so very important after all.
 Then he thought of home and the means of getting there, and sought out Colonel Blank, the passenger agent ofa certain railroad.
 ''l say, colonel" herremarked per suaslvely, "I want to go home."
 Why don't you go?"
 "No money! Can't you give me a pass?''
 The colonel stiffened
 "We give passes to nobody" he said.
 The countenance of the disappoint- ed candidate frightened with smile of humility.
 "Well, colonel, give me one; Pm nobody"
 The colonel admitted the force of the argument and gave the pass.

Work on the Tres Amigos gold mine in the Orc Blanco district, owned by F. NJ. McMasters, is assuming mag nilicent proportions, judging from the reports coming from that lively camp, says the Border Vidette. A few months ago Mir. McMastcrs bought the Tres Amigos for sio,000, and now that gentleman claims to have pay dirt to the amomtof $350, ,000 in sight. The ore Is nigh grade free milling and is being worked by cyanide plant of 10-ton daily capacity. Two drifts. the first 4Sl and the second 240 feet, with an average width of 10 feet arc being run, and fifty miners are working full time. Experts representing c. D. L1ine, the millionaire mine operator, recently reported on the mine and it is expected that a sale will be coDsum- mated in the near future. The Tres Amigos mine is turning out valuable property, and it bids fair to become one of the best gold producers in Ari- zona The large body of ore already in sight speaks for itself.

HESITATION IN
 STOCK EXCHANGE Doubt Whether the Upward Movement is AbOrtive.
FEW STOCKS ARE IN DEMAND
Iron and Steel Industries Were Con spicuous Sufferers on the Depress- ing Opinions Regarding the
 Trade Outlook by Agencies

New York, June 2.-There was manifest hesitation in the trend of prices of stocks today, and a doubt was disclosed whether the upward movement was not to prove abortive. American securities got lpracu- cally no support in the London market' where dullness reigned in anticipation of the Whitsuntide holidays. The only stocK in demand for London account was Baiti- more and Ohio, which touched SS Ill the New York market, an extreme advance or 2% on rumors of an early dividend on the stock Efforts were made to put up South- ern Pacific on the expressed satisfaction or the president of the company with the pros poets of the company.
 There were also one or two minor railroad stocks which moved upward, These sus- taining influences, however, failed to hoio the market and the bulls sought to take profits, with resulting losses in prices which reached to between l and points in some stocks
 The iron and steel industrials were con spicuous sufferers on the depressing opln- ions regarding the trade outlook by the mercantile agencies and on the shutting down of additional mills of the Steel and

 The bank statement proved disappointing in some items and mystyfying in others and turned sentiment towards reaction, the closing being heavily unsettled on de- clining spurt. The gain ill cash showed In as preliminary estimates that much at fault.
 Higher prices for iron and stel products and for coal make notable increases in eX- penses of operating railroads, the falling oif in freight traffic makes competition keener and the probability that the decline in traffic is caused principally by high freight tariffs and attempts in rate cutting. In the southwest and west good progress made py the winter wheat and other crops has given strength to stocks of railroads running through that region.
