THE GUANO KING.

John R. DeMier, of Las Cruces, has
Just returned from Chicago where he
closed a deal giving him the exclusive
right to work the guano caves nine
miles from Lava station in the Sierra
San Cristobal. The caves are located
on the ArmendariS grant in Socorro
and Sierra counties, recently purchased
by the Chicago Cattle company. Mr..
DeMier has been working the caves
for some time with success and profit.
At present he employs ten men and
ships fifteen tons of guano daily,
chiefly to Southern California where it
is used as a fertilizer for lemon and
orange orchards. 1t is the best ferti-
lizer obtainable for that purpose
ON TOP THE GROUND.
NJ. d. Gaylord has made a very rich
discovery, near Nogal. on property be-
longing to Captain Brack of Ell Paso.
Gold has been found right on top of
the ground along a trail where it has
been passed over for years. almost
daily, and so rich that it fairly shines
in the rock and can be seen when one
is six or seven feet away from the
vein. The find is located south of the
American mine and adjoining the
Cashier mine on the north. This is no
pipe dream" but sure thing.-Ex.

A NEW INDUSTRY

The Globe-Times tells of a citizen
near that place who has decided to
test a new idea in chicken culture. He
thinks that he can plant hen eggs in
the ground and raise chickens. He will
make the test with two barrels of
Kansas eggs and will plant alternate
rows of eggs and lettuce. so that when
the chickens come up they will have
start in life. He thinks the heat of
the earth will hatch the chickens and
by planting the eggs with the small
end just even with the surface of the
earth the chickens will be able to make
their way out.

BOY FOUND
AtAdrisn. Had Been Working
.@&s u ID, On a Farm. Fl =

Friday morning Jerry Fitzgerald
started out with the purpose Of not
returning home until he found his
boy who had mysterously disappear
ed, and the search proved successful
the first day. y ----
Mr.. Fitzgerald and Fred bring a
neighbor' started west, Frank Lane
went south and as far as Lakefield.
The father reached Adrian about
evening and while enquiring there
Mr.: bring saw q boy walking up the
street, followed him and accosting
the boy he turned proving to be
Grover. They returend here the
same night and to say the faith ever
was over joyed is putting it mildly.
The boy had been working on a
farm and came into town for the
evening. We are unable to learn at
this time why he left so unce1moni-
ously except from unconfrmed re-
ports which state that the boy did
not want to go to school.
Mr.. Lane searched Friday and Sat-
urday and had met people who had
seen boy answering the description
of Grover riding on a red wheel.
The last report stated he was going
toward Spirit Lake. The officials
there were advised to look out for
the boy. It was argeed between the
searchers that when the boy was
found or any trace of him they were
to notify each other, which Mr..
Fitzgerald failed to do, probably
owing to the joy, hence Mr., Lane
continued the search Saturday.

to grapple with at school, load them

the finer arts. l have in mind now
several young girls between the pre-

who, after they return from school,
have an extra dose of painting, music
or languages. : But my daughter

mother. She must be able to hold

tender age, with such mental load,
soon goes to pieces. She becomes
anaemic, istless nervous, and then
the mother wonders why! To build
her up everything under the sun is
tried except a 'lessening of metal
work and the unnatural strain upon
the nervous system. The girl devel-

Consolation and Comfort.

Who is it that does not wish to be
out in the open air or alive in some
field of sport, whether 1t be with the
bat, rod or gun; whether we go coast
ing over the hills and wales on the
wheel or sailing over rough waves or
into serene coves, it is all sport, and
the springing muscles seem to need it.
1t is bound to happen that some mis-
hap will occur. Thus it is that we
have sprains in abundance. Light
sprains, sprains that cripple, sprains
that give great pain, sprains that rob
us Of sleep, but sportsmen Of all kinds
have come to know that there is moth
ing better than the old reliable st.
Jacobs Oil. Have it with you for use;
you may rely on its cure of the worst
sprain and restoration to the COM
forts of life.

European Crowned Heads Who Have In

Many European royalties have IN
vestments in this country. The En-
peror of Russia is a stockholder in the
Pennsylvania, the Northern and Cana
dian Pacific, the New Jersey Central
and the New York Central Railroad
Companies to the amount of Sc, 600, 900,
ythe most of it invested in the last four
years on the advice of a well-known
American diplomat. On it he draws
an average of 100000 annually, or
eight per cent interest on his money.
King Edward VII. has found means
to put $5.000,000 in American indus
tries. They are said to average him IL
per cent ayear-something simply gil
gantic in view of the low European
rate of interest. 1t is even told how
he borrowed large part OF this cap
ital to make these investments.
The Duke of York. the Kings OF Italy
and Greece, Denmark and Belgium. the
Sultan and the Shah of Persia have
salted down great sums from their pri-
vate fortunes in the American securi-
ties which gives such large returns
and are so safe and far away from
European complications. Even poor

COIL FOR WIRELESS TELEGRAPH.
ator-if he is careful-although it is
said, not to be useless as a fool-killer.
Figure 2 shows the long attenuated
forked spark. But for the most eff
cient work for wireless telegraphy a
short fiat" spark, as it is called, is
much more effective than the long at
tentuated one. To obtain a shorter,
thicker spark the terminals are
brought closer together, still leaving
ar air gap of thirty-two inches. Now,
when the current is switched on to
operate the coil there is a continuous
roar of thunder accompanying the blue
blaze of energy as it leaps from one
terminal to the other.
Then it is that the waves are rad
lated to such tremendous distances
that cables cease to have any virtue;
the waves are picked up by the "elec-
tric eye," or coherer, recently de-
scribed on this page. and are trans
lated into messages by means Of the
ordinary telegraphic instrument. 1t
requires nearly one horse power of
electrical energy to operate this giant
coil.

boasting that they belong to the rich

London correspondent. The boast is
not a particularly pretty one, and it
is not particularly wise, because for a
rich nation 1t does some uncommonly
mean things. Among the meanest
must be classed the way in which it
pays its soldiers. The war Office has
been heaping up wrath and indigna-
tion against itself for a long time. but
it has not done anything lately to stir
the nations blood like its treatment OF
the Imperial Yeomanry in the matter
of their pay. These men went out to
South Africa on the understanding
that they would be away a year. They
were promised in some cases that their
situations would be held vacant for
them a year. The war o3ice kept
them in South Africa for about eight
cen months, and now some Of the men
have come home to find out that their
situations are no longer waiting for
them, and that the money which has
been earned at the risk of their lives.

Secret of schwab's- Rise from Obscurity
to Wealth and Fame.

Secret of schwab's Rise from Obscurity
to Wealth and Fame.
A story is told about President
Charles M. Schwab. of the United
States Steel Corporation. which will
show good many persons who may
not know why President Schwab be-
came what he is. says Pittsburg cor
respondent. The tale was told by an
engineer for whom Mr.. Schwab, as a
boy, carried the chain. Everybody
down here knows how Mr.. Schwab be-
gan life as grocery clerk at Brad
dock. Next he carried chain at
Homestead and later draughtsman in
the Carnegie works. While holding
that place young Schwab came under
the notice of Capt. William r. Jones.
who was general manager Of the Car
negie plant, and whose name is synon-
ymous here with everything good and
manly. Capt. Jones was killed at
Homestead by accident few years
ago.
The story is that Capt Jones at that
time needed the Services of an expert
draughtsman. He applied to the head
of the draughting department for a
man, asking for the best man in the
place.
II have no best man." said the chief.
They are all good"
Capt. Jones went away. The next day
an order was issued that to complete
certain piece of work all of the
draughtsmen should work two hours
overtime each day for several weeks
without pay. All of the draughtsmen
grumbled except one man. Capt. Jones
came along the next day and said to
the chief of the draughting .depart-
ment: How do the men like that or
der?"
'They don't like 1t and are all grum-
bling except one man." was the reply.
who is that man." asked Capt.
Jones.
'Schwab"
Give me Schwab," said Capt. Jones.
From that day the young draughts-
mans success began. The man who
told this story was asked what he
thought of President Schwab. He said:
Charlie Schwab has no equal as an
executive in the steel world to-day"
