Kentucky boasts of the oldest mail
carrier in the United States in the
person of "Uncle Sam" Gibbons, who
resides at Hodgenville, three miles
from Lincoln's birthplace. Uncle Sam
has retired from active service now,
but he enjoys pointing to the fact
that for sixty-one years he carried
the governments mail, without the
loss of single sack, and with scarce
ly a dozen delayed trips due to heavy
rains or otherwise Indictment weather.

A puzzling problem is how to get
rid of empty nitroglycerin casks. The
wood of the casks become SO satur-
ated with nitroglycerin that in OK
plosivcness it equals the nitroglycer-
in itself. It does not pay. nor is it
safe, to refill the casks. TO burn them
is out of the question. If left around,
they are a constant menace, for while
all men arc prone to show their re-
spect for dangerous explosive, there
are few that think that harm can
come of kick at an empty barrel.
There is nothing to do but to explode
the casks.

Arabian horses manifest rcmarka-
BILE courage in battle. It is said that
when horse of this breed finds HIM
self wounded, and perceives that he
will not be able to bear his rider much
longer, he quickly retires from the
conflict, bearing his master to place
of safety while he has still sufficient
strength. But if, on the other hand,
the rider is wounded and falls to the
ground, the faithful animal remains
beside him, unmindful of danger,
neigl,ing until assistance is brought.

PROSPERITY IN PORTO RICO.

The Secretary of the Navy has re-
ceived q letter from Governor Allen of
Porto Rico, formerly assistant secreta-
ry OF the Navy, which sets at naught
the reports of dire distress and power
ty among the islanders, and chronicles
a constantly growing measure OF pros
perity In Porto Rico.
In part the letter is as follows
1.-THE anti-American sentiment which
was prevalent at the beginning of the
civil government, has entirely disap-
psared, and the masses of the people
were never more contented, am sure,
than at the present time. More are
employed than ever before and at bet
ter wages, and indeed, there is scar
city of labor in certain sections and
contractors complain that they are un-
able to secure sufficient help, although
they are paying so cents In gold, whore
ten months ago they paid 80 cents in
pesstas. The crops are abnormally
large and Of excellent quality.
''Our customs receipts are constantly
increasing as well as the internal reve-
nue. collections. All our bills are paid
promptly, We have always surplus in
the treasury, and We shall finish the
fiscal year, which expires June 80, en-
tirely within our budget allowance, SO
feel sure the President can have rea-
son for great satisfaction with the re-
suits in Porto Rico. Civil government
In Porto Rico has not cost the people
OF the United States one penny. 1t has
been self sustaining from the beginn-
ing.
1.-THE Island is rich and is sure to be
a valuable asset OF the United States.
"As to destitution and starvation In
Porto Rico, they do not exist, and with
abundant crops and plenty of labor at
hand, II there should be case OF star
vation here, it might properly be call
cd case OF suicide.'

NO CHANGE EXPECTED.
President Hays and Mr.. Stubbs
Speak of Big Deal.

President c. M. Hays of the South
ern Pacific company, when asked II he
thought the sale of the controlling in
terest in the company to the Hartman
syndicate would lead to important
changes of management or policy,
said:
81 see no prospect OF any marked
change in Southern Pacific affairs SO
far as the publice interest is concerned. I.
What difference does 1t make to the
public whether railroad be owned by
one man, or whether its voting stock
be held by 100 different interests, SO
long as it is managed in accordance
with board and liberal policy which
conserves the best interests Of the pub
lie as much as the interests of the
stock holders? | do not look for
any startling changes In con-
ditions as result OF the change in
ownership. The Southern Pacific will
go ahead very much as II no change
had taken place. Its interests, in a
traffic sense, are pretty well defined,
and are not to be disturbed by any new
or revolutionary policy. l do not think
the sale means one set of officers for
the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific.
The two roads are big properties and
can best be handled by separate sets
of officers, as at present.
Referring to his own position, Mr..
Hays said he had no reason to suppose
that it would be disturbed. He said he
was on terms OF friendship with the
announced members OF the purchasing
syndicate, and spoke highly of Mr..
Harriman's ability as railroad man.
William II. Croker, speaking OF the
big deal, said: 1.-THE Vanderbilt rail-
road and steamship interests have a
direct line between Hamburg and
Hongkong across the American conti-
nent. Whatever the Vanderbilts do
they do WE'LL and II it is possible to
improve the service OF the Southern
Pacific road the new controllers will
do it,"
Third Vice-President ]. G. Stubbs OF
the Souther Pacific. who is warm
personal friend of Mr.. Harrimans, says
the change of ownership OF the road
was as big surprise to him as it was
10 the other officials OF the road.

will retire as director and first vice.

 pected to be in running order by the 18th of November.-Our Mineral ,Wealth.
 The latest dividend declared by the Crown King mine in northern Arizona was two cents a share. The total dividends of the Arizona Copper company, at Clifton, up to July 1, 1901, amounted to $761 ,42S. The United Verde, at Jerome, has paid dividend to the amount of $7 ,S61, ,1S0- On September g the Fortuna gold mine, in Yuma county, paid five cents per share. The total amount paid in dividends by this mine to July 1st, was $1 ,90O,- 900. Arizona mining stocks are very high in the eastern markets Tucson Post.
 The Phoenix Republican says that Major J. H. McClintock has returned from a visit to the La Cananea mining district in the in- terest of the special Arizona edition of the Los Angeles Times shortly to be issued. MT. McClintock says that the magnitude of the mining possibilities of that locality can only be realized by those who have visited it. He was previously fla miliar with the immensity >of the mines and plants at Bisbee. and has been in the habit of comparing nearly everything s1se with that, but after seeing the Cobre Grande properties he thinks when they are developed little more it will be necessary fsr him tc get a new unit of msdsurement.
 An illustration of the wonderful growth Of Arizona mines is afforded by the formal transfer of the Octave mines. The Octave Gold Mining company, composed of mil hoTIaire oil operators of Bradford, Pa--, acquired an option on the claims in 1899, which gave them the privilege of purchasing for s5O,- Goo. Since that time half million dollars have been expended in i'm /provements on the holdings, and vast bodies of fair grade ore have been uncovered. The last monthly output of gold amounted to almost 2- n. .n creasing constantly. c. P. Collins, superintendent of the Octave mines, and several other members of the company who had recently returned from the famous Inca mines, of Peru, which this company also owns, made a careful examination
