SLID DOWN THE MOUNTAIN.
Foolhardy Exploits of Two Prospect
 ors Out in Arizona.

From the Arizona Republican.
 It Is difficult to imagine a more dare devil and thrilling adventure than that of two men sliding down steep, ice crusted mountain ooe in prospector's pan and the other on a miners shovel. Yet such hazardous undertaking was accomplished the other day by Pete Me- Golf and Yankee Bill'' Murphy, miners and prospectors in the Sierre Madre mountains, when they flew like the wind down one side of the treeless Quartsite mountains, distance of two miles, with a descent of about 35 degrees, and landed in twenty-five feet of snowdrft in the forty foot chasm of Cow creek, a few miles west of Grand Encampment, Wyo.
 Pete's and Yankee Bill's" love of ad- venture will brook perils of any kind and at any time for the pure love of sport-perils at which the tenderfoot would stand aghast. Both are known for the chances they take with their lives The greater the danger the more ready they ar etc enter into 1t. Peculiar cusses these two rough miners. It was in jest Ing wager simply that they raced down the moutainside, Pete in the pan and Yankee Bill squatting on the shovel both finishing with record breaker and what might have been neck breaker.
 They climbed to the top of the peak over two feet of snow on the day of the adventure to wash out a decomposed quartsite which showed rusty iron ore, and which led them to believe would carry gold. Tn the afternoon 1t turned so cold that the surface of the mountain resembled glass It was near sundown when the two men finished prospecting, and started to retrace their way down the mountain. The slippery iced snow impeded their progress, making the jour- ney slow and dangerous at best.
 Less than 100 feet down Pete jestingly proposed to Yankee Bill'' that they slide down on the pan and shovel.
 I'll beat you down., said Pete, suiting the action to the word by getting into the pan.
 You can't beat me- replied Yankee Bill," at the same time squatting down on the shovel unmindful of the possible danger ahead.
 At first both slid along in a jerl;y fash ion. for they were obliged to rGs,i han selves along at times Suddenly, ho1- ever, the descent became much more ab- rupt and the two men launched into the ozone and shot down with accelerating speed like comets through space. The sensation they felt can neither be de- scribed nor imagined. They tore down the mountainside like an avalanche, each holding on to his metal steed with vise- like grip. A mile was covered in appar- ently an instant, when a ridge formation turned them off their course. and they flew still faster at an acute angle The 40-foot chasm of Cow creek was inevita- ble. and before they had time to realize the danger they had leaped over it's edge, cleared Cow creek and. as If human drills. had bored the snowdrift 25 feet.
 When dug out Pete and Yankee Bill'' did not exactly need the coroner, but there were not enough plasters and lini- ments in camp to soothe their bruises. They came up smiling, however, each stoutly maintaining victory The shovel and pan will be exhumed next spring by nature.

KING EDWARD AND ACTORS.
The New Monarch's Former and Flu
 ture Attitude Toward Theatres.

From the New York Clipper.
 London, February 17.-Edward VII. is a thorough man of the world, and so good a patron of the theatre that he is apt to fully realize the serious nature of the damage that might be caused to so important phase of commercial enterprise as the catering to the public amusement if any large section of society abstained from pat ronizing the theatres out of respect for the formal mourning of the court. He is a man of the greatest tact, com bined with much kindliness of heart, and he is pretty certain to let it be known that he does not wish that play goers should abstain from visiting the theatres because of respect to the memory of Victoria. Such an intima- ton can be given quite informally and IL is more than likely to be put abroad in an unofficial way. The nature of the new sovereign is well summed up in a paragraph written, think, by an- other Edward, whose surname is Michael, and who is a clever critic of things theatrical and the business manager for Mrs. Langtry. As he puts it: "No one will be more missed at theatres than the King, who was not only an inveterate theatregoer, but
The age-herald., 1901-04-21

who set an example which is unfor tunately not often followed by the oc cupants of stalls and boxes. Not only did he make it point never to be late, but he never left his box until the curtain was down, and directly il went up on another act he was always in his place. But further example of his courtesy and consideration is afforded by the fact that, no matter whether he liked the play or not, he never gave it a social damning by leaving until the final curtain, and never expressed an adverse opinion. J

 The instances of American profes- sionals who had met the Prince of Wales in connection with his visits tc places of entertainment, and which they had related to me occur to me as I write. One was very recently ir Paris, where was dining with prom. inent American circus manager ant an English actor. Something was said about the Prince of Wales, and the

Is Reported to Be Engaged to a Young Woman Stump
 Speaker.

From California comes a rumor to the effect that Senator w. A. Clark of Mon tana is intending to marry again, and that Miss Hattie Rose Laube is to be the lucky bride. The engagement, it is said. was made some weeks ago, just prior to the Senator's departure for Europe.
 Senator Clark's daughter, Mrs. Morris, of West Fifty-eighth street, said last night that she was not aware of any such intention on the part of her father 'He will be back in a week or so' she con tinueG, land will, most likely, talk for himself"

 The Englishman stared in blank amazement at such familiar state ment, but the gooo old circus man did not notice the result of his remark,
 nor mark the amused grin of your correspondent at the actors amaze ment. He had acted as guide to the prince during private vislC to fam ous American show, and his opinion was the result of the way his royal guest had acted while under his guid- ance.
 In another instance the prince had asked that very well-known Ameri- can actor should come to his box to be presented and to be thanked for
 ,-e pleasure the performance had af- forded the royal visllor. The actor
 was somewhat embarrassed, as he did not understand the simplicity of the incident, and he said, in telling of it
 an hour later, that he was rattled. All I noticed was," he said, that the prince talked such broken English
 that at first l thought he was having
 game with me. and I'm hanged if l could more than half make out what
 he said.'

Monterey, Mex, Telegram to the New York Times
 The military authorities here have just received confirmation of the re- port that Lieut.. Jose Carmona, a pop ular young officer of the Mexican army, was devoured by an alligator while bathing In the Tamesin river, near Tampico. Lieutenant Carmona was a member of the Department of Engineers, and had been stationed at Tampico for some time past.
 He and number of other army off, cers were enjoying a plunge in the Tamesin river, when a very large alli- gator was seen making for Lieutenant Carmona. He was given warning. and made desperate effort to escape. but the alligator overlook him, and the young officer was devoured in the pres ence of his companions.
 Lieutenant Carmona was graduated at the Government Military Academy at Chapultepec four years ago. He was leader in society in the City of Mexico during his residence in that city.

President Hopkins in his report says:
 Your business for the year just closed will, believe, be considered satisfactory, and this result is very largely due to the steady demand and good prices secured for output of pig iron, coal and coke. While we may not secure as high an average market price for iron the coming year, we hope by material reduction in the cost to realize satisfactory net re- suits per ton, and with our North Ala bama furnaces in operation we will assur- edly greatly increase our output, which increase We believe to be conservatrvely stated at from ten to twelve thousand tons per month.
 This showing was made with not more than SO per cent of your property in op- eration, as the past year was one of re- construction and development of the properties situated in Northern Alabama including the new coal fields in Walker County.
 Your company owns the entire capital stock of the Sloss Iron and Steel Com pany.
 Your company owns the following properties: Six 200-ton blast furnaces, 63,603 acres coal lands, 4S,0O5 acres ore lands, HOO coke ovens, etc.
