MADE A FORTUNE
On the Delivery of a, Half a Million
Cords of wood.

On the Delivery of a, Half a Million
Cords of wood.
New York Tribune
r. G. Anthony, of Chicago, speaking at
the Waldorf-Astoria of A. w. McCune, OF
Salt Lake City, who may be senator from
Utah. said: Mr. McCune'S rise from
poverty and obscurity to wealth and pow
er reads like a fairy tale, and is an epit-
ONE of the possibilities afforded in the
country to any man of industry and with
ability to take advantage of the tide In
the affairs OF men which, when taken at
the flood, lead on to fortune. Years ago,
when he was but a mule driver, the Ana,
conda mine, I think it was, asked for
bids for the cutting and delivery Of
100000 cords of wood. McCune put in a
bid, which was far below that of his
competitors, but owing to his apparent
lack of financial ability to carry out the
contract they were loath to accept 1t.
Some we'll known men, however, went on
his bond and the contract was finally
awarded to him. The wood to be cut Waa
situated on the mountain side. and the
motive power used to convey 1t to the
mines on previous occasions had been
mule power, and this it was supposed
would also be McCupe's method. Inc
contract made no reference to the date
N~~-'
but a clause provided for the delivery OF
at least 100 cords daily. With his con-
tract signed and safely in his pocket
McCune at once constructed an enormous
Aume down the mountain side to the
point Of delivery. into which when COM
epIeted he turned a mountain stream.
Then began the cutting of the wood, and
by simply. throwing it into the chute Its
immediate delivery at the mine followed.
So rapidly and in such enormous guam
titles did the wood arrive at its destina-
ton that the mine sent him word not
TO deliver any more. McCune replied
that the contract called for the delivery
of 500, 0G0 cords Of wood at So cash -cord'
and that it would be completed the fol-
lowing week, and that he would hold the
company strictly to the contract. ms
was done, and the mine settled with NC,
Cune, who cleared for himself and MS
partner 81 a cord, or 100000 out of the
transaction, and Mr.. McCune's share,
which was a respectable fortune, gave
him the start wherewith to make the
great fortune he has today"

SAVINGS
They Form the Foundations of the Nations
Financial Strength.

The financial strength of the United
States Is again apparent in the condi-
tion of savings banks, as reported by
the comptroller of the currency. These
institutions now contain nearly 1880
million dollars in deposits an increase
of $454,OOO,O00 in four years. During
the same period the number of deposi-
tors in the savings banks has in.
creased by $4,000, and the average of
deposits by $29. Nearly six million
persons have accounts in these insti-
tutions. The bulk of savings bank de-
posits is in comparatively small ac-
counts, AVERAGING slightly above $4OO.
There are about 15,000,000 voters in
the United States If the depositors
We're ell voters, two men out of every
five would have an account at a say
ings bank This widespread increase
in savings was to be expected in view
of the country's prosperity during the
last few years. The fact that nearly a
million persons have opened savings
accounts in four years shows the ex-
tent of the nations prosperity, says
the Kansas City star"
In connection with the strong condi-
tion of the savings banks it is interest
ing to note that the gold fund in the
United States treasury reached the
highest water mark of $451, 800, 900
the other day. This is the largest gold
fund in the world. The Bank of
France falls $14,OOO,OOO short of it,
Russia has only $iO3 900, 900, and the
Bank Of England $lGS,OOO, 600 The
great national banks of the world out
side of the United States contain abou.
$1,5S0,0OO,GOO in gold, so that the
treasury fund is more than fifth of
the whole official stock.
OF the gold and silver together the
government treasury holds the enor-
nous sum CT more than one billion dol
lars. While part of this is offset by
certificates of indebtedness in the
shape Of currency, the vast accumula-
tion Of coin and bullion in the national
vaults at Washington is an object les
son to the world of the strength OF
this government.

JULIAN H. BINGHAM
 IS A CANDIDATE
Formally Announces for Chair man of Republican State
 Executive Committee.

Julian H. Bingham, collector of internal revenue for Alabama, who has been fre- quently mentioned as candidate for chairman of the republican state execu- tive committee, has formally announced Lis candidacy in a communication pub- lished in the Birmingham Times yesterday, as follows: .
 Birmingham, Ala, Jan. g. 1900. Hon. M. D. Wickersham. Chairman, Mo- bile, Ala.-
 Dear Sir: Referring to the action of the conference of republicans held in this city October 2S, 1899, suggesting my name for the chairmanship of the state executive committee, I wish to advise you that after carefully considering the views of many prominent and influential republicans touching political conditions in the state, I have arrived at the conclusion that-a ma jorfty of republicans recognize as party law the resolution unanimously passed by the state convention in 1896, making the chair man ineligible after his second term; also that it is the paramount duty of every in- dividual republican to uphold and maintain t.=is law until rescinded by some future state convention.
 Therefore, inasmuch as the conference, over which you presided, thought it wise and prudent to entrust me with the chair manship, and in view of the encourage .ment received from different parts of the state pledging support to my candidacy, I take this method of informing you per -sonally, and through you the republicans of Alabama, that my name will be present. ed to the next state convention for the par ty office of chairman of the state commit tee. Very respectfully
 U. H. BINGHAM"
 Mir. Bingham will be opposed by William Vaughan, the present chairman, and Ad Wimbs, colored, of Hale county.
