His Biggest Pieces at the Pan-Amer-
lean Exposition.
Extraordinary interest will attach
to the Ordnance Exhibit of the Unit
ed States government at the Pan
American Exposition. showing the
modern weapons Of warfare, which
were used in the recent wars. It will
include the best Of former exhibits and
will in addition have novelties never
before shown. The heavy ordnance
will be mounted outside the Govern
ment building. This branch Of the ex-
hibit will include the L inch gun. with
disappearing carriage, so arranged that
neither the man nor the gun is exposed
except during the moment Of firing. the
recoil throwing it into its original posi-
ton. Then. too. there will be shown
the Is inch seacoast rife manufac-
tured at the Watervliet arsenal, the
most powerful piece Of ordnance ever
constructed in the United States. hav-
ing maximum range Of 201a miles. 1t
will be the greatest display Of heavy
ordnance ever made. yet this is only
one Of the numerous features Of the
Government Ordnance Exhibit for the
Exposition
Another exhibit of ordnance will be
made by manufacturers. but in diff
ferent part Of the grounds. It will be
very large, as all the makers will nat
urally want to make as good show
ing as possible. Here a considerable
number Of important inventions nof
yet accepted by any government. but
which may figure conspicuously in the
possible defenses Of the future, will be
shown. There will be great guns and
small guns and guns OF all kinds and
their accessories at the Pan-American
Exposition. To many visitors this will
be one Of the most attractive features
of the big show. The study Of weap-
ons with which the great powers wage
war is ever an interesting one, and the
many wonderful discoveries and inven-
tons in this line during the past few
years have q tendency very naturally
to accentuate the interest That the
fullest opportunity to satisfy curiosity
in this direction will be given at this
Exposition Is assured.

SIX Frightened Lions.

An incident at the Porte st. Martin
theater in Paris has become part OF
the annals of the show business. The
chief feature Of the exhibition was
turn consisting Of the casting Of
young woman securely bound into a
cage Of lions heralded as being the
fercest and most bloodthirsty Of man
eaters.
The woman who had the part of the
victim was taken i'll, and a substitute
was found in the wife Of one Of the
trainers, herself a trainer Of some eX-
perience, but without any acquaintance
with these particular six lions. AS she
was somewhat nervous she carried
small club ready for use should occa-
sion arise.
Amid the breathless silence Of the
spectators the ringmaster explained
the ferocious nature of the lions and
the terrible risk of the woman, and
she was thrust in at the cage door.
In the excitement Of the occasion the
door was not securely shut afteSHher.
No sooner was she fairly inside than
the six monarchs Of the jungle, seeing
that strange person bad been forced
upon them, raised q chorus Of shudder-
ing terror, bolted for the cage door,
clawed it open and with dragging tails
and cringing fanks fed out through
a rear entrance and found refuge in a
cellar, whence they were dislodged on
~ after great difficulty.
It was week before the ''ferocious
man eaters" were sufficiently recover
ed from their terrors to reappear in
public.-McClure' Magazine.

A Splendid B1uH.

Sir Walter Besant is said to have
once settled a disputed cab fare in q
novel manner. He drove from Picca-
dilly to some place in the suburbs out
side the radius. On getting down he
rendered to the driver three shillings
and sixpence, which was a little over
the proper fare. The man. however,
wanted five shillings. Besant refused.
"I'd like to fight you for it., said the
driver.
.'The very thing" said Besant who
had never in his life put on a boxing
glove and was almost as ignorant as
Pickwick even of the fighting attitude.
"The very thing! Capital! Well
have the fight in the back garden.
Ny brother will look on. hold the
stakes and see fair!''
The cabman got down slowly, as If
he did not quite care about it after all.
He followed into the garden, where
there was a lovely bit of green turf.
Besant placed the five shillings in his
friends hands. took off his coat and
waistcoat and rolled up his sleeves
all with an air Of cheerful alacrity.
Now, my friend" said he, 81 am
ready as soon as you are" His anxiety
was great. but it decreased as he
watched the cabman's face express
successfully all the emotions Of bounce,
surprise. doubt. hesitation and abject
cowardice.
"No, no." he said at last. Gimme
the three and six. know your tricks,
both Of you. I've been done this way
before"

Rivalry Among congresnmen For a

Good Position In The Record.
The effort that is constantly being
made to secure the printing Of speeches
on the front page Of The Congressional
Record is not generally understood.
Senators and Representatives naturally
desire to have their deliverances in
congress receive as much attention as
possible. and there is. but one publica-
ton in which they can monopolize the
front page in display Of their
speeches. That one publication is The
Record.
OF course speeches that are printed
in regular order in the debate, ap-
pearing on the day after they are de-
livered. are 10 be found only in their
regular place in The Record. But in
the cases Of speeches withheld for re-
visiou there is an opportunity to have
them displayed on the first page Of the
official report Of the proceedings. This
is merely done by al arrangement be-
tween the senate and house by which
this privilege is about equally divided.
Senators and representatives who
withhold their remarks for revision
frequently inquire when they can have
the first page Of The Record. which is
generally reserved for at least week
ahead.
The general rule is, FIRST come, first
served III this way these who want
to make their speeches influential will
at times arrange 70 have them on the
first page of The Record on the morn

Lincoln county, Nevada, is destined
TO become one of the richest mining
sections of the state. There are quite
a number of prosperous camps in the
country bordering on the Colorado
river that are soon to be connected by
rail with the outside world, all of which
will increase their product ten fold.
The ores of these camps is gold bear
ing and of a grade that insures big
profit in the working.

Mining is certainly the coming in
dustry in the United States. Men of
limited means are not going into com.
petitive industries, where they may
find themselves up against a giant
trust, but are sure to take up mining,
where competition has not entered.
Millions of dollars are being made
every year by investors in the mines
of the west and millions can be made
in future. 1t requires capital to put
mines on paying basis and the com.
binations of small capitalists have
brought great results. Look over the
field of millionaires and you will find
that nine-tenths of them have made
their money from mining investments.
Arizona today offers the best induce
ments in mining for com binations of
small capitalists. Mines in pros spec.
tive stage can be had for small sums
aud with intelligent development they
Will broaden out into big producing
properties.

of the absence of any child between

school at once they must be arrested

BY recent decision of the courts il
is held that lessee or party working
mining claim can remove all ma
chinery from the mine, unless a for
feiture agreement exists. This gives
all lessees the right to put machinery
on the mine and in the event of the
expiration OF their lease or bond they
can remove same whenever they see fit,
Many lessons insert an agreement for
the forfeiture of all machinery in all
leases they may execute, which cuts

will undoubtedly be the appointee for

great majority of our gilt edged min

men in the world are mining kings,
many of whom have grown powerful
enough through the proper application

is proven that while millions of dollars
have been lost in railroads, farm mort

associations, the American mining in.

of 253 mines that have paid in divi-

"In mining investments extremely
large amounts are not necessary to
make one successful, for the man of
moderate means, properly advised, has
opportunities of quickly doubling his
capital. Under Incorporation great
achievements are made possible
through combining limited sums of
thousands, thus equaliug the capital
of the individual millionaires, making
possible gigantic undertakings that are
productive of enormous revenue. The
dollar of the man of moderate means
is equally as powerful as the dollar Of
the money king. Both serve their pur-
pose; both are entitled TO their proper.
tionate profits.
"In legitimate miuing a twenty We
per cent dividend is not considered
startling, aud the mining interests of
the west are willing to pay that inter

aid of capital they open up tremendous
